Chapter 401 Unmasking
As soon as this rumor came out, some cultivators immediately thought of the news that had circulated in Danfeng a few years ago, which was about Wei Yunqing and a senior brother Ye from Danfeng jointly cultivating a high-level spiritual plant.

It's even easier to find cultivators with names and surnames, especially since Ye Tianhua and Wei Yunqing entered the inner sect's Dan Peak together from the outer sect's Dan Peak. Some busybodies went to Ye Tianhua to inquire about specific information.

Ye Tianhua maintained his composure perfectly, looking completely bewildered as he said:
"That was a long time ago. I was lucky enough to find the seeds, and Wei Yunqing, who was my junior sister at the time, was skilled at cultivating spiritual plants. Together we cultivated a mutated Enlightenment Fruit Tree."

"There really is a Fruit of Enlightenment!"

"Yes, it was because the news leaked that the Enlightenment Fruit Tree that the two of us cultivated was coveted by someone. Before the Enlightenment Fruit Tree could even mature, someone tried to steal it. We were very worried for a while and didn't even dare to leave Dan Peak. We guarded that Enlightenment Fruit Tree every day."

One day, Wei Yunqing suddenly announced that she had become a disciple, and that she wanted to give her own Enlightenment Fruit as a gift to her master. I naturally had no objection, but…

The rest of his words were replaced by Ye Tianhua's bitter expression. He gave a self-deprecating laugh and continued:

"The Enlightenment Fruit that belonged to me was bought by Wei Yunqing, and we haven't been in contact since."

"Tsk tsk, Wei Yunqing has taken all the benefits. She has already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, and her master, Zuoqiu, is also a Deity Transformation Venerable. Only you are still lingering in the Foundation Establishment stage."

The cultivator who inquired about the news knew how painful that was. For a moment, Ye Tianhua almost couldn't maintain his composure. He shook his head and said in a somewhat forced tone:
"Don't talk nonsense. How can you talk about Nascent Soul and True Monarch so casually? Besides, Yun Qing has treated me well. She paid me a sum of spirit stones to help me advance smoothly to the late Foundation Establishment stage. I am very satisfied."

"Can a spirit stone be compared to an Enlightenment Fruit? An Enlightenment Fruit can help you understand the Dao Heart; the two are not equivalent at all."

Ye Tianhua said nothing this time, but put on a desolate expression that said, "Do you think I don't know? I can't fight city hall." He turned around and went back to his residence, where he hung up a sign that read "Seclusion".

Upon receiving the news, Yunxi was immediately delighted. Ye Tianhua's "kicking someone when they're down" tactic was truly masterful. He had learned the essence of Elder Han's approach, uttering not a single lie while exposing Wei Yunqing's true colors and allowing everyone to clearly see Wei Yunqing's hypocritical and selfish face.

Dot Dot twitched its black ears and said:
“Master, the longer Wei Yunqing stays in the Enforcement Hall, the worse her reputation will become. I estimate that the disciples in the sect will avoid her in the future.”

Yunxi shook her head and said:

"Wei Yunqing has a very thick skin; she'll pop up again in a while."

Based on her understanding of Wei Yunqing, she knew that Wei Yunqing would definitely participate in the Five Regions Grand Competition. In Wei Yunqing's eyes, this was a great opportunity to make a name for herself. Once she had brought honor to the Haoran Sect, those rumors would naturally disappear.

Sure enough, three days later Wei Yunqing walked out of the Hall of Law Enforcement. Although her face looked terrible, she had finally cleared herself of suspicion and then returned to the Spirit Beast Peak.

However, because Zuoqiu betrayed the sect, Wei Yunqing's status as a direct disciple naturally disappeared. But now she is at least a Nascent Soul True Monarch, so the sect chose a peak for her to live and cultivate on a side peak of Spirit Beast Peak.

Amidst the strange looks from the disciples guarding the peak, Wei Yunqing moved into her new peak. It wasn't until she went to the disciples' hall to announce the task of organizing the new peak that she learned about the rumors circulating about her within the sect.

Enraged, Wei Yunqing almost stormed up Dan Peak to confront Ye Tianhua. She had underestimated him; he had actually been holding back until now. However, before she could even step onto Dan Peak, Venerable Haoyan froze her in place with a soft "hiss."

Wei Yunqing instantly realized that although she had been cleared of suspicion, she was still being monitored by the sect. If she dared to do anything out of line at this time, she guaranteed that she would stay in the Hall of Law Enforcement for a longer period of time.

In the end, Wei Yunqing returned to her peak in frustration and hung up a sign that read "Seclusion". She did not leave the Spirit Beast Peak until the Five Regions Grand Competition.

Yunxi felt that Venerable Haoyan actually wanted to kill Wei Yunqing directly, but for some reason, she didn't.

Venerable Haoyan did indeed want to do this, and at this moment she was complaining to Ancestor Haoyi:
"Senior sister, that Wei Yunqing is clearly up to no good. If we let her grow stronger, she might bring disaster to the sect. Why not just deal with her?"

Haoyi rolled her eyes at Haoyan and said:

"Why are you in such a hurry? Someone can control her. Wei Yunqing is just a whetstone right now. If you deal with her now, another 'troublemaker' might emerge. But this time, you don't know who the other party is or what they might do."

Hao Yan narrowed her phoenix eyes, immediately understanding Hao Yi's meaning, and then changed the subject:
"Senior sister, Haoqing should be back by now!"

Haoyi replied while reviewing the important messages compiled by "Hive":
"If things go smoothly, it should be within the next day or two." Sure enough, the next day Venerable Haoqing appeared in front of the Haoran Sect's mountain gate, but the person accompanying him was actually the guest that Yunxi had been waiting for, the Xunkun True Monarch of the Kunmo Sect in the Southern Region.

After Xun Kun stood still, he awkwardly cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for bringing this junior to the Haoran Sect, Venerable One."

Haoqing replied in a deep, magnetic voice:

"No need to be so polite. Since you are Yunxi's guest, you are also a guest of the Haoran Sect. I'll have her come to pick you up."

After saying that, he disappeared in front of the sect.

The gatekeeper disciple then stepped forward and respectfully bowed to Xun Kun, accepting the visiting card that Xun Kun presented.

At this moment, Yunxi was taking Xiao Lei's pulse to make sure she had taken the medicine on time and restored her meridians to their original state before withdrawing her spiritual energy and saying:

"Your meridians have been fully restored. You can start cultivating now, but it's best to proceed gradually."

Xiao Lei immediately stood up and thanked her:

"Thank you for the medicine, True Lord."

Yunxi lifted her up with a flick of her sleeve, preparing to leave, when a communication talisman flew to her, containing the deep voice of Venerable Haoqing:

"Yunxi, your guest has arrived."

Yunxi's eyes flickered, and she guessed that Xunkun must have arrived. However, it took him longer than she expected, probably because he encountered something on the way. She flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Lei, who was left wanting to find out where her brother was, could only sigh helplessly and go back to her cultivation room to meditate.

When Yunxi appeared before the sect, True Monarch Xunkun visibly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately cupped his hands in greeting:

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I apologize for disturbing you."

"Fellow Daoist Xunkun, please come inside."

The two then entered Lingxue Peak one after the other.

After the two were seated, Xun Kun got straight to the point:

"Fellow Daoist Wei invited me here, is there something important to discuss?"

"Yes, it concerns a Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Kunmo Sect. To avoid trouble, I invited you to come in person, since you are the only one I know in the Kunmo Sect."

Xun Kun knew something was wrong as soon as he heard this, and frowned, saying:

"Which Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

"Xin Qiujian".

 My darlings, I'll upload two chapters first, take a look, and then I'll upload the rest once I've finished writing them.
