Chapter 399 Being Outshone
Looking at Wei Yunqing, who was trying her best to remain calm, Wei Chenyin shook her head inwardly, thinking that this person was beyond saving.

She was too lazy to waste words with Wei Yunqing, so she waved her hand and said:
"Now that you're back, spend more time with your mother; she misses you a lot."

Wei Lingyue was not mentioned at all.

Wei Yunqing stood up, cupped her hands in greeting, and then turned to see Du Ruolan. She wanted to know what had happened to the Wei family and Wei Yunqing during the years she was away.

Looking at her daughter, who had matured considerably, Du Ruolan's eyes welled up with tears. She took Wei Yunqing's hand and asked:
"Qing'er, you're finally back."

"Mother, why do you look so haggard?"

Wei Yunqing looked at Du Ruolan, whose face looked somewhat bitter, and asked.

In fact, Du Ruolan's face was still quite young because of the "rejuvenating liquid" provided by her family. However, because she was in a bad mood, and Wei Lingyue was in seclusion without anyone to accompany her, and Wei Yunxi was always one step ahead of her daughter, whose status and prestige in the family were far higher than Yun Qing's, these unsatisfactory things made her get stuck in a rut and struggle with herself. Over time, she naturally became haggard.

Now that her pillar of support has returned, Du Ruolan poured out her grievances, recounting the hardships she has endured over the years and urging her daughter to strive to surpass Wei Yunxi. Wei Yunqing listened with a twitching smile, her mood worsening.

Is it that she doesn't want to trample Wei Yunxi underfoot? It's just that she doesn't have that ability right now.

Wei Yunqing inquired about the Wei family in Kunyu City and learned that the patriarch of the Liu family, one of the four major families in Kunyu City, had sided with an evil cultivator and led the entire family to ruin. The family had now been expelled from Kunyu City. She was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that she had gotten rid of the evil spirit early on.

This was all thanks to the spirit of the crimson bracelet. So she subconsciously touched her wrist. Now the crimson bracelet had lost its invisibility function. Because of the dissipation of the spirit, the crimson bracelet's grade had dropped. After the space shrank, only the soul could enter, not the physical body.

This time, she returned to the sect to integrate the high-level refining materials she had acquired into the crimson bracelet, helping it return to its previous grade, and then nurture its spirit anew, giving herself an extra trump card for survival.

Wei Yunqing was also getting impatient with Du Ruolan's incessant chatter, so after staying at the Wei family's house for one night, he returned to the Haoran Sect.

When Wei Yunqing appeared in Qianling City, "The Hive" received the news. When she entered the sect and went to the inner disciple hall to change her identity jade token, Yunxi received the news that she had returned to the sect.

"Tsk tsk, this unkillable cockroach is back again. It's really tenacious. I wonder what kind of opportunity it got this time."

Yunxi stroked the honeycomb jade pendant at her waist and muttered to herself.

Dian Dian climbed onto Yun Xi's lap, twitched its black ears, and transmitted its voice:
"Master, should we inform Dian Dian and her companions on Spirit Beast Peak to keep an eye on her whereabouts?"

Yunxi smiled and said after hearing this:

"Dian Dian, I didn't expect you to have such a wide circle of friends, even having friends on Spirit Beast Peak?"

DianDian rubbed its front paws together and said:

"Hehe, Dian Dian has never been to Spirit Beast Peak. It's just that a friend of a friend is there, so she was able to make the connection."

Yunxi listened and said:
"Then have your friend keep an eye on Wei Yunqing's whereabouts. Notify you if there's anything unusual. She'll definitely be visiting the Enforcement Hall when she returns to the sect this time."

I wonder where Zuoqiu is hiding right now; he really knows how to hide! And that Li Chang, how come he keeps creating clones, one after another, and we can't kill him!

He nodded in agreement.

"Dian Dian understands. I'll go and inform them right away. These bad guys will be dealt with by Master one day. Don't worry, Master."

"I'm going to the Disciple Hall to register for the Five Regions Grand Competition, and I'll also take this opportunity to meet Wei Yunqing."

After Yunxi finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and flashed to the foot of Lingxue Peak. Then she strolled into the inner sect's disciple hall.

At this moment, Wei Yunqing was arrogantly asking Elder Han to change her identity jade token. Then, she turned around and saw Wei Yunxi, and she was stunned for a moment. Yunxi used her divine sense to look Wei Yunqing up and down and found that the other party's cultivation was stable at the early stage of Nascent Soul, and the killing aura on her body was also very strong. However, the crimson bracelet on her wrist, which had revealed its true form, looked like it had lost its former luster, and its grade seemed to have dropped.

Wei Yunqing noticed Yunxi's gaze, smoothed her sleeve to cover the crimson bracelet on her wrist, and then spoke:

"Sister Yunxi, congratulations on your recovery and return from seclusion."

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"I have been out of seclusion for some time now. I learned that you were in seclusion at Yunmen Temple to stabilize your cultivation. I was very worried about you and even sent a special message to Buddhist disciple Yunchen to take good care of you. Now that your aura is stable, your cultivation should be well stabilized."

Upon hearing the words "Yunmen Temple," "stabilizing cultivation," and "Buddha Yunchen," Wei Yunqing's face darkened. She hadn't expected Yun Xi to know her whereabouts so well, and she frowned, saying:

"I didn't expect you to care about me so much."

"Of course I care. I almost died at the hands of your master."

Yunxi dropped a bombshell.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunqing's heart skipped a beat. She was thinking about why her master hadn't succeeded. The next moment, her face turned pale. If Wei Yunxi wasn't dead, it meant that something had happened to Zuoqiu. Otherwise, Yunxi wouldn't have come here to block her.

She replied immediately:
"Wei Yunxi, what nonsense are you spouting? Why would Master Zuoqiu attack you?"

Yunxi revealed a malicious smile and said:

"You should save that explanation for the people in the Enforcement Hall. Zuoqiu didn't just attack me; he did other things. You're his only disciple. Do you think you can escape responsibility?"

Wei Yunqing was even more anxious. She tried to return to the Spirit Beast Peak in a flash, but before she could leave the back hall, Venerable Haoyan blocked her way.

Hao Yan blinked her phoenix eyes and said:

"Wei Yunqing, your master Zuoqiu has harmed his fellow disciples. After being captured, he did not repent and joined forces with evil cultivators to betray the sect. Now, please come to the Hall of Law Enforcement for questioning."

Wei Yunqing's body was already stiff and she couldn't move. The female cultivator in front of her gave her a very dangerous feeling. She vowed that if she dared to resist in the slightest, the other party would kill her on the spot.

So she swallowed hard.

“I am willing to go to the Hall of Law Enforcement for questioning. Although I have become a disciple of Zuoqiu, it was a deal between us, merely to seek protection. I truly do not know what he did.”

Hao Yan was somewhat disappointed by Wei Yunqing's lack of resistance, and said lazily:

"You should save those words for the cultivators in the Enforcement Hall! If you didn't do it, the Enforcement Hall won't wrong you."

After saying that, he grabbed Wei Yunqing and disappeared into the disciples' hall.

Elder Han, who had been listening to the whole thing with trepidation, moved closer to Yun Xi only after Venerable Hao Yan left and said:

"True Lord Wei, is this true? Zuoqiu has betrayed the sect?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"It's true. The Enforcement Hall has been investigating for some time. In order to lure out Zuoqiu, they even let Wei Yunqing leave the sect."

However, it seems that Zuoqiu didn't approach his only disciple, so Venerable Haoyan took her directly for questioning.

Elder Han gasped. Zuoqiu was a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could he do such a thing?

 My darlings, my back pain flared up again yesterday, so I stayed in bed all day. I'm feeling a bit better today, so I got up to write. I'll be updating three chapters as usual. Thank you all for your understanding and support! See you tomorrow!
