Chapter 407 Mentality Change

"Yes, Master."

Yunxi readily agreed, and then asked about Xin Qiujian of the Kunmo Sect.

“Master, I was a little careless at the time. It is possible that what was sealed was the real Xin Qiu Sword, which gave the evil cultivator the opportunity to self-destruct his nascent soul.”

Yu Ling nodded after listening and said:

"Xun Kun sent back a message that on the day the evil cultivator self-destructed his nascent soul, the soul lamp that Xin Qiujian left in the Kunmo Sect was completely extinguished. Things should be as you guessed. The evil cultivator went to great lengths to kill you."

Yunxi could only chuckle awkwardly. This incident would probably become a dark chapter in her life, so she quickly changed the subject:
"Did Fellow Daoist Xunkun encounter any accidents on his way back to the Southern Region?"

"Senior Brother Haoqing gave him a ride. There was indeed an ambush along the way, but because Haoqing was there, those people didn't dare to show themselves."

Yu Ling paused for a moment and then asked:

"Ranxi, do you know that the directions Xun and Kun are indistinguishable?"

Yunxi paused for a moment, then shook her head and said:
"I don't know. Including his visit to Haoran Sect this time, I have only met Xun Kun twice and have not discovered that he has this problem."

After she finished speaking, she subconsciously said "Oh".

"No wonder he arrived at the sect a few days later than expected; he got lost."

She felt a bit embarrassed after saying it; as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, getting lost was something few people would believe.

"That's why I asked Senior Brother Haoqing to escort him back to the sect. He can't get into trouble on Haoran Sect's territory, nor can he cause any problems because of keeping our appointment."

Yun Xi immediately bowed and said:
“Master, this was a matter of oversight on my part. I was unaware that Xun Kun had such a weakness. If I had known, I would not have invited him to the Haoran Sect. I would have preferred to visit him in the Southern Region.”

"It's alright. Xun Kun deliberately concealed this matter, and you have no way of knowing it. He invited him to come in person to prevent the news from leaking out. I believe he is well aware of this himself, so you don't need to worry about it."

Before you leave, I will give you a detailed record of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators participating in the Five Regions Grand Competition, so that you can understand the strength of your opponents.

"Thank you, Master."

Yunxi accepted her master's kindness with bright almond-shaped eyes.

After leaving the "Hive", she went straight to the Disciple Hall to receive the escort mission.

There were still quite a few cultivators coming and going from the disciples' hall, and Yunxi's appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the disciples.

Yunxi stepped directly into the back hall, where Elder Han greeted her with a broad smile, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect:

"Congratulations to True Monarch Ranxi on your completion of seclusion!"

Yunxi nodded in return, then took her seat in the main seat and said with a smile:

"Elder Han, I have come on my master's orders to take on the mission of escorting the participating disciples to the Central Region."

After saying that, he handed over his identity jade token.

"Alright, please have a seat, True Lord. I will handle it for you right away."

After saying that, he turned and left the inner hall.

Yunxi was taking stock of the things in her storage bag, wanting to prepare some extras before setting off.

"Yunxi, True Lord, you have emerged from seclusion!"

A slightly surprised male voice reached Yunxi's ears. She didn't need to look to know who it was, so she nodded politely and said:

"I have only recently emerged from seclusion. Are you here to receive a sect mission as well?"

Sheng Yuhong's initial joy at seeing Yun Xi vanished instantly upon seeing her somewhat indifferent and distant attitude. He pursed his lips and said:
"I'm here to register for this Five Regions Grand Competition."

Zhou Lingchuan, who was standing next to Sheng Yuhong, sensed the powerlessness emanating from his senior brother. His lips twitched, and he stepped forward to bow respectfully.

"True Lord Ranxi, Senior Brother Sheng will be participating in this Five Domains Grand Competition. I hope you will give him some extra support." This was a way of indirectly trying to secure an opportunity for Sheng Yuhong.

Yun Xi glanced at Zhou Lingchuan, her expression remaining calm as she spoke:

"Don't worry, I will take good care of the sect's disciples even if you don't say so. I have taken on the mission of escorting the participating disciples to the Central Region."

The implication is: I have accepted the mission and will treat every participating disciple equally, without any special treatment, and I also ask them not to overthink it.

Zhou Lingchuan naturally understood, and it was precisely because he understood that he felt awkward. Just as he was wondering how to react, Yun Xi asked with a smile:

"Junior Nephew Zhou has already advanced to the late Golden Core stage, why didn't he register for this Five Regions Grand Competition?"

"My master has been quite busy lately, so he specially kept me by his side to help with sect tasks, which means I will miss this Five Regions Grand Competition."

Zhou Lingchuan really wanted to go to the Central Region to participate in the competition, but Sect Leader Yu Geng had his own considerations, so he gave the spot to Sheng Yuhong. Fortunately, Sheng Yuhong's sword intent had reached a minor level of mastery, making him quite competitive.

Sheng Yuhong, who was standing to the side, wanted to interject, but he didn't know what to say.
Just then, Elder Han returned carrying Yunxi's identity jade token. Upon seeing Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan, he greeted them politely before presenting the token with both hands, saying:

"True Lord Ranxi, the mission has been assigned to you, and the specific departure time is included."

"Okay, I'm done."

Yunxi put away her identity jade token and left the disciple hall.

Sheng Yuhong stared blankly at Yun Xi's retreating figure for a while, then asked Elder Han to register him, and then asked Zhou Lingchuan beside him:

"You refer to Wei Yunxi as 'True Lord Ranxi,' and she has been given a Taoist title?"

"Yes, the Daoist name was chosen with the help of our master. Wei Yunxi chose three that she liked, but in the end, Venerable Yuling decided on the Daoist name 'Ranxi'."

Zhou Lingchuan personally picked up Wei Yunxi, so he knew the details very well. He glanced at the thoughtful Sheng Yuhong and added:

"The sect leader wants Ranxi to succeed as the peak master of Lingxue Peak, but True Monarch Ranxi said that the succession ceremony will be held after the Five Regions Grand Competition ends."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuhong felt that strange feeling return; things didn't seem to be developing this way.

Zhou Lingchuan sighed and patted Sheng Yuhong on the shoulder, saying:
"Senior brother, some things cannot be forced. Don't get caught up in the illusion, lest you develop inner demons."

Forgive my bluntness, but True Monarch Ranxi only feels kinship with you as a fellow disciple; nothing more.

"I know."

Sheng Yuhong lowered his eyes and said that Wei Yunxi had not given him any chance to misunderstand from beginning to end.

Elder Han was quick this time, returning to the back hall in a short while and handing the identity jade token back to Sheng Yuhong.

After finishing their business, the two prepared to return to Haoran Peak. Before they even left the inner hall, they encountered Wei Yunqing walking towards them.

Sheng Yuhong looked at Wei Yunqing's blue robe with gold trim, a robe that only Nascent Soul True Monarchs of sects could wear, and felt somewhat complicated.

Wei Yunqing was also somewhat surprised to meet Sheng Yuhong here. She had been holed up on the Spirit Beast Peak for more than half a year, waiting for the rumors to subside before coming out, because she did not want to miss the Five Domains Grand Competition.

Seeing her beloved after so long, Wei Yunqing was naturally happy. However, looking at his cultivation level at the peak of the mid-stage Golden Core realm, she subconsciously frowned, feeling that Sheng Yuhong didn't seem to move her as much anymore.

If Yunxi knew that she had missed such a good show after leaving, she would definitely regret it.

Especially since Wei Yunqing's mindset has changed after advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, she has begun to look down on Sheng Yuhong. She'll probably laugh until her stomach hurts.

Sheng Yuhong and Zhou Lingchuan bowed in unison, while Wei Yunqing waved her sleeve in a perfunctory manner, saying:

"No need for formalities, Yu Hong is here to..."

　My darlings, there's one more chapter. I'll write it and upload it.
