Chapter 396 Return to the Clan (Continuation)
Sect Leader Yu Geng looked at the three Daoist titles circled by Yun Xi and nodded, saying:

“Indeed, all three Daoist titles suit you.”

Yunxi smiled and nodded, saying:

"Thank you for your trouble, Sect Leader. I will go to see Master in a while and let Master make a decision."

Having seen that the prelude had been laid out, Yu Geng continued:
"Yunxi, I've summoned you today not only to decide your Daoist title, but also to discuss something with you regarding your succession as the peak master of Lingxue Peak. I'm sure your master has already mentioned it to you, hasn't he?"

Yunxi nodded. She knew the sect leader wouldn't summon her to Haoran Peak for such a trivial matter as her Daoist title, so she smiled and replied:

"Sect Master, Master has already mentioned this matter to me, but I would like to wait until the Five Regions Grand Competition is over before assuming the position of Peak Master."

Yu Geng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, then frowned and said:

"You're going to participate in this Five Regions Grand Competition?"

"Yes."

"I have received information that the evil cultivators plan to take advantage of the Five Regions Grand Competition to target the elite disciples participating in the competition. You should consider this matter carefully."

Yunxi knew that the sect leader had definitely received the message she sent back to the "Hive," but the "Hive" had its own rules. The sect leader could obtain the latest information, but he might not know the source of the information, so she didn't mention it. Instead, after considering it carefully, she replied:

"Thank you for the reminder, Sect Leader. I will ask my master for his opinion on this matter."

"That's good."

Just as the two finished discussing business, Zhou Lingchuan entered the main hall carrying a pile of jade slips. Clearly, the sect leader was about to get busy again. Yunxi also took the opportunity to say goodbye and went to see her master with the Daoist name she had chosen.

After Yunxi left, Zhou Lingchuan spoke:

“Master, this female disciple of Senior Uncle Yu Ling looks very different from the rumors.”

Yu Geng took a sip of the spiritual tea and said:

"What's the difference?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Lingchuan said:
"She looked young and inexperienced, and her attitude was very easygoing. She spoke softly, but her eyes gave her disciples a sense of extraordinary clarity, as if they could see through everything."

"It seems you see things more clearly than your senior brother. Although Yunxi's aptitude is average, her comprehension is exceptionally high. She even had a sudden enlightenment before, and she has basically never encountered any bottlenecks since embarking on the path of cultivation."

However, each of her advancements was extremely dangerous. It can be said that her current cultivation level is entirely due to her own efforts. Even your Martial Uncle Yu Ling only passed on the cultivation techniques to her; he didn't provide her with any hands-on guidance. Everything was up to her. Therefore, no one will object to her succeeding Ling Xuefeng.”

"I see."

After saying all that, Zhou Lingchuan asked with a touch of gossip:
"Master, does Senior Brother have feelings for Martial Aunt Yunxi?"

"Ahem, this is not something you should be concerned about. In the future, talk less about Yunxi in front of your senior brother."

Sect Leader Yu Geng felt he was also extremely worried and waved his hand.

Zhou Lingchuan's eyes flickered, and he readily agreed, planning to visit the sect after helping his master with sect affairs.

At this moment, Yunxi had already entered the "Hive" and met Yuling, who was taking a break from her busy schedule to enjoy tea.

Yunxi bowed respectfully, then sat down opposite Yu Ling and asked with a smile:

"Master, are you not busy today?"

After saying that, he poured himself a cup of spiritual tea.

Yu Ling put down the jade cup in her hand and said in a deep voice:
"After receiving your message, I sent out all the 'worker bees' to gather as much information as possible and see if I could find any clues. After learning about this, Ancestor Haoyi instructed Venerable Haoqing to go to the Famous Sword Sect, hoping that the Haoran Sect could secretly join forces with the Famous Sword Sect in this Five Domains Competition."

Yunxi swallowed the spiritual tea, feeling a gentle spiritual energy flow into her body through her mouth. She sighed comfortably before saying:

“Master, the news that Xiao He brought back is partly true and partly false. I judge that the evil cultivators were mostly testing Xiao He. However, it is certain that they want to use the Five Domains Competition to cause chaos. As for building a passage to the Evil Domain, I think it is unlikely.”

After saying that, he poured himself another cup of spiritual tea.

Yu Ling's lips curled up slightly as she said:

"Your speculation is consistent with what Ancestor Haoyi said. Building a passage is not as simple as it sounds. Connecting the two domains requires mastering the laws of time and space, and the passage needs power to maintain it after it is built."

Such a commotion will definitely alarm the Nascent Soul stage cultivators, especially in the Central Region, where there are many reclusive seniors who are not so easily fooled.

Yunxi sighed and said:

"It's a pity that Xiao He has just established contact with us. He is not trusted by the evil cultivators. It's just that the joint operation of the five regions has reduced the evil cultivators' manipulators, so they have to use Xiao He to do things. If there is enough time, Xiao He may be able to dig out more information."

Yu Ling said calmly:
"It doesn't matter. If the enemy comes, we will stop him. If the water comes, we will block it with earth."

Yunxi then recounted her encounter with Su Qingzhuo, the young master of the Su family, and explained how she had instructed him to investigate the Su family himself.

Yu Ling stroked the jade cup in her hand and said:

"The sects around the Su family have already sent people to investigate. The evil cultivators have hidden in the Su family's secret realm. There must be something wrong here. It's just that it's very difficult to get in touch with the core of the Su family. Su Qingzhuo appeared at the right time. It seems that you are not only Su Qingzhuo's benefactor, but also the benefactor of the Su family."

Yu Ling knew very well that Yun Xi was a "variable". Anything she got involved in would eventually go in an unpredictable direction. Therefore, he never thought of confining Yun Xi to the sect. Letting her succeed as the peak master was also to make it easier for her to legitimately use the resources of Lingxue Peak.

Upon hearing this, Yunxi revealed a slightly smug smile, her dimples appearing on her lips, making her face even more vibrant. She also diligently poured her master a cup of spiritual tea and casually mentioned her earlier meeting with Sect Leader Yu Geng.

"The sect leader is worried that Lingxue Peak will have no successor. After you take over as the peak master, he will urge you to take on disciples again."

Yu Ling said with a smile.

"Huh? Taking on apprentices? That's not right! That's not right!"

Yunxi waved her hands in unison, feeling that she was not cut out to be a master and should not mislead others.

"Don't rush. It's not like I'm asking you to take on disciples right now. Taking on disciples also depends on fate, just like when I took you on as my disciple. When the time is right, you will naturally sense it."

However, you will eventually ascend to immortality, and Lingxue Peak must have a successor. But our lineage has always accepted disciples relatively late, and we value quality over quantity. The decision is entirely yours.”

Hearing this, Yunxi finally felt relieved. Her eyes lit up as she thought of how her master had already reached the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage when he took her in. She could follow his example and spend more time finding a good candidate.

Seeing his disciple Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes darting around, Yu Ling knew she was up to something. He chuckled and curled his lips, saying:
"What else did the sect leader ask you to say?"

Yunxi immediately abandoned her ulterior motives and said seriously:
"The sect leader has suggested some Daoist names for me. I have chosen three of them and am waiting for my master to make the final decision."

After saying that, he gave his three Taoist names.

Without even thinking, Yu Ling said:

"Let's go with 'Ranxi,' it suits you best!"

Yunxi immediately stood up, cupped her hands in greeting, and said:
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me this Daoist name!"

　My darlings, I'm so sorry, only one chapter today. I'll make up for the missed chapters later. Feng Ling's back pain flared up, so she had to stay in bed all day. Please forgive me. Goodnight~ See you tomorrow~
