Chapter 668 Weighing the pros and cons
After activating the protective shield of the flying boat and maximizing its defense, Yunxi quickly embedded nine top-grade spirit stones into the control array plate, set the flight direction, and then lay down, instructing Lili beside her to administer various repair and healing potions.

Dian Dian anxiously circled around Yun Xi, rummaging through her little treasure chest to see what rare and precious herbs were suitable for Yun Xi to use now. Cong Shan enlarged his body and quietly stood guard beside Yun Xi, watching Li Li bustling around.

Lili kept muttering to herself:

"Your Excellency, you took too much of a risk this time. How could you use such a suicidal secret technique? You are about to break through to the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. What's the point of competing with someone like that? It's not worth it at all."

Yunxi swallowed the healing and recovery potions, slowly feeling them take effect. The pain in her dantian had eased, and the somewhat weak nascent soul within her dantian gradually regained its vitality. Under the protection of the seven-colored lotus, her entire dantian began to store spiritual energy anew.

After the metallic taste in her throat completely dissipated, Yunxi slowly sat up and began to meditate cross-legged. In order to recover her condition as soon as possible, she held a high-grade spiritual vein she had previously acquired in her hand and began to circulate her cultivation technique to replenish her losses.

This was the first time Zhu Sheng had ever seen his master fight someone, and he realized the dangers of the cultivation world. The male cultivator's arrogance at the beginning and his eventual compromise were all because his master was strong enough to make the other party realize that he was not capable of taking his master away, and might even be killed by his master. That's why the other party left in a sorry state. Otherwise, the male cultivator would not have let it go.

Three days later, Yunxi opened her eyes, put the dimmed spiritual vein back into her spatial storage, and then saw three pairs of eyes staring at her. She smiled and said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that my spiritual energy was exhausted and the secret technique was interrupted, so I suffered a little backlash."

Dian Dian and Cong Shan have a contractual relationship with Yun Xi, so they feel this more deeply. After Yun Xi's injuries stabilized, they breathed a sigh of relief. Li Li, because she did not have a contract with Yun Xi, did not feel it as deeply, but she was relieved to learn from Dian Dian that Yun Xi was alright.

During the three days that Yunxi was healing, the three of them kept a close watch on her, taking on the responsibility of vigilance, fearing that the mid-stage Nascent Soul male cultivator might return. Now, after hearing Yunxi's words, they finally felt relieved.

Lili was the first to ask a question:

"Master, what exactly does that male cultivator want to do?"

Yunxi didn't hide anything and roughly explained Su Miao's identity, his purpose for coming, and the course of their battle.

Dian Dian was so angry after hearing this that she jumped up and down:
"Master, that male cultivator was too rude! Just because his cultivation level is slightly higher than yours, he tried to give you a hard time!"

Congshan also said in a muffled voice:

"He wants to invite you to reunite with your mother. He should just say so directly. Why make it so mysterious? Only a fool would go with him without asking any questions. Doesn't he have any common sense?"

Li Li rolled her dark grape-like eyes and said:

"Your Excellency, is that man's word credible? Isn't his way of inviting people to a reunion clearly offensive? Or does he have a grudge against your mother and want to provoke her by suppressing you? Or is he using your mother to threaten you?"
Li Li felt that this man's appearance was too coincidental. "You've been in the Haoran Sect of the Chuyue Mountains for almost sixty years and they haven't come knocking. Now that you've emerged from seclusion, they've come looking for you. It doesn't seem like a good thing."

Yunxi smiled after hearing this and patted Lili's head, saying:
“What Lili said is exactly what I was thinking, which is why I used that method to intimidate them before. Otherwise, if they had compromised, there would have been countless compromises afterward. I wanted to let him know that I'm a crazy person who doesn't play by the rules, so that in the future, whether it's him or the Su family, they'll think twice before doing anything.” Dian Dian said with a hint of resentment.

“Master, but the secret technique you used was real, and the backlash you suffered was also real.”

Yunxi pinched her finger and said:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've controlled the progress of the secret technique very well. It allows the opponent to feel the lock of the Heavenly Dao, but it won't really damage my spiritual root."

The fact that the plan was able to proceed so smoothly was largely thanks to the Seven-Colored Lotus protecting her dantian, and the Mosang Ring that had been hidden at the root of her spiritual root and altered its attributes.

Needless to say, the seven-colored lotus has seven layers of petals, which is equivalent to seven layers of protection. Even if the Heavenly Dao wanted to extract the spiritual root at the bottom of her dantian, it would take some effort. In addition, the Mosang Ring has been firmly encircling her three spiritual roots, and her secret hand seals have not been fully completed. Therefore, while intimidating the opponent, she has minimized the damage to herself.

Lili then wagged her fluffy tail and said:

"Your Majesty, you didn't kill her. Was it because you were worried about your mother?"

Yunxi sighed and nodded, saying:
“I didn’t know his purpose before, but after he called out my name, I knew there must be something going on. And judging from his attitude, I knew he had been following me all the way here. He had a clear goal and mentioned Feng Jiayun’s name, so I used a secret technique of mutual destruction to force him to reveal his background. But I don’t know anything about this Su family.”

Who told her to be an ascended cultivator? Even the Haoran Sect only managed to gain a foothold in the Spirit Realm thanks to the Haoran Ancestor. In sixty years, they had only collected some superficial information. They had not yet collected any truly valuable information, or rather, they had not found a suitable way to collect it.

This reminded Yunxi of Wan Bowen, the "know-it-all." She figured there must be similar people in the spirit world. She needed to find a way to contact such people, as a lack of information was affecting her judgment.

Just like this time, she knew nothing about the Su family, nor did she know what status Feng Jiayun held in the Su family. Why would the Su family patriarch send such a powerful descendant to pick her up for a reunion? If it was a reunion, she wondered if there was something else going on.

As for why Feng Jiayun was at the Su family, was it voluntary? Or forced? Or was it a deal? She had no way of knowing any of these things, so in that instant, she made the decision to subdue them with force, showing them her fists and letting them know that she was not a pushover.

In fact, she had many ways to kill Su Miao. She only needed to use a Soul Piercer during the fight to completely turn him into an idiot. However, she did not want to become enemies with the Su family before she figured out their true purpose.

If this implicates Feng Jiayun, then it would be wrong of her as a "daughter." Although she is no longer Wei Yunxi in the true sense, even though she has been stripped of the Wei family bloodline, she still has the Feng family bloodline flowing in her veins. In fact, because of Feng Jiayun, she also has a trace of the Wu clan bloodline. Just for this debt of gratitude for her life, she cannot go to extremes.

In the book, Wei Yunxi lost her protection because of Feng Jiayun's "fall," which led to her being suppressed by Wei Yunqing and ultimately dying a tragic death. However, it is evident that Feng Jiayun cared deeply for her daughter in the early stages.
