Chapter 137 Mu Feng is in a sorry state
She wanted to vomit.
Really.
If it weren't for the need to figure out what connection Song Zhiyuan had with the Extinction Qi, she wouldn't want to deal with him at all.
Xue Huairui blinked, startled, and asked, "Senior brother, what do you mean by that?"
Song Zhiyuan smiled helplessly, "Xiao Rui, you know what I mean. I know you feel the same way about me. Don't worry, after we get out, I will express my feelings to Master."
Xue Huairui did not refuse, but whispered, "But, Senior Brother and Senior Sister Yun have something going on..."
“That was before,” Song Zhiyuan gently interrupted her. “Master will agree to us, Xiao Rui. What about you?”
Xue Huairui was still hesitant. "Senior brother, Master values your engagement with Senior Sister Yun very much. How could he agree to our marriage?"
Song Zhiyuan said confidently, "Xiao Rui, you don't need to worry about these things. My engagement with Yun Zhao was just something Elder Yun said in words. After my persuasion, Master agreed to forget about it."
Xue Huairui hesitated: "That was Elder Yun's dying wish, and the peak masters also know about it. Can Master really refuse?"
Song Zhiyuan paused for a moment, then said, "Of course."
Xue Huairui saw his actions, forced a shy smile, and nodded gently.
She immediately sent the message to Yun Zhao, asking him to find out what Guiyuan Zhenren meant.
Song Zhiyuan had always wanted to marry Yun Zhao and make her the future heir of the Qingyun Sect, hadn't he?
There was something Yun Zhao didn't know, but Xue Huairui, having been by Song Zhiyuan's side for so long, knew a little about it.
Before the death of the late Sect Master Yun, Master Guiyuan and several other peak masters swore that only the person who married Yun Zhao could become the next sect master of Qingyun Sect.
This was one of the fallback plans that Elder Yun left for his granddaughter before his death.
Disciple Lu Mingdao and Han Yue are Yun Zhao's two protectors, and this one is the third. No matter which one is reliable, as long as one of them is reliable, they can protect Yun Zhao for life.
Master Guiyuan intends for Song Zhiyuan to inherit the position of Qingyun Sect Master, and will not allow Song Zhiyuan to marry someone else, let alone agree to Song Zhiyuan's marriage, forgetting the instructions given by Elder Yun before his death.
There must be some reason for this.
Putting aside everything else, the peak masters of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) alone would not agree.
When the time came for the secret realm to close, the cultivators gathered at the exit, waiting for it to reopen.
Song Zhiyuan received the inheritance, and many people surrounded him to exchange pleasantries. His place was quite lively. Yu Wei, along with several disciples from Mu Feng, found a quiet place to talk.
"One, two, three... seven, eight, good, it's good that no one is missing. It doesn't matter how much we gain, as long as people are here."
Yu Wei counted the number of people and was very satisfied with the trip.
The disciple from Mufeng said with shame, "Senior Sister, we failed to reach Lingxu Palace in time. You must have been ostracized inside, right?"
All the other peaks had groups of companions, but it was only on Wood Peak that Senior Sister Yu Wei entered Lingxu Palace alone.
Although they are from the same sect, Senior Sister Yu Wei is an alchemist, so she would definitely be looked down upon in that situation.
If they were more motivated, they could at least help their senior sister a little.
Yu Wei chuckled, "How could that be? I'm perfectly fine, Senior Sister."
After entering the Lingxu Palace, she separated from the other members of the sect while searching for opportunities.
Yu Wei knew that they thought she was alone and a weak alchemist, so she couldn't be of much help and instead wanted to share some of the benefits.
She neither agreed nor disagreed, saying that if they could form a team, they could form a team, or they could go their own way.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she was incredibly lucky in the Lingxu Palace. Not only did she obtain a Heaven-Rank Alchemy Furnace, but she also found a long-lost alchemy recipe.
She used an inconspicuous chance encounter to get away with it, so no one else knew she possessed such a treasure.
"Alright, stop overthinking. I haven't been wronged. The peak master is waiting for us outside. Don't let him see your expressions."
Anyone who didn't know better would think that Mufeng was really down on their luck.
The disciple muttered, "Our Mu Peak is already in a very poor state."
Yu Wei was speechless, because what he said was true.
Under the pressure from the main peak and the four peaks of metal, water, fire, and earth, their Wood Peak has become much weaker than before. Yu Wei didn't know why they were targeting Wood Peak.
Alchemists are supposed to be the most respected profession. There is a saying that it is better to offend a Nascent Soul cultivator than to offend an alchemist.
Because medicine and poison are closely related, alchemists will inevitably concoct some poisons.
Furthermore, powerful alchemists often hold many favors from influential figures, which alone is enough to command utmost respect from others.
But recently, for some reason, the spiritual plants in Mufeng have withered on a large scale, resulting in a shortage of materials for alchemists in Mufeng to refine pills.
Rumors circulated that the withering of the spiritual plants was due to Lu Mingdao, the peak master, and that Lu Mingdao was tasked with remedying the situation.
No one knew where the rumors came from, but the Qingyun Sect's pills were in short supply, so several peak masters put pressure on Lu Mingdao...
Yu Wei suppressed her worry and instructed, "Junior Sister Yun Zhao is here. Remember the Peak Master's instructions: do not tell her about this."
The disciples readily agreed.
Seeing Yun Zhao and Qi Yan approach, Yu smiled and went to greet them, "Junior Sister Yun, you and Junior Brother Qi come over here, the exit will be opening soon."
Yu Wei asked the disciples of Mu Feng to give up two seats so she could chat with Yun Zhao.
Somehow the conversation turned to Song Zhiyuan and Xue Huairui. Yu Wei glanced at Qi Yan, then lowered her voice and said to Yun Zhao, "Junior Sister Yun, I noticed that Senior Brother Song treats Junior Sister Xue quite differently. You and him..."
"Senior Sister Yu," Yun Zhao smiled helplessly and said to Yu Wei, "I have nothing to do with him. I have someone I like."
As she spoke, she took Qi Yan's hand.
Qi Yan didn't say anything, but the curve of her lips revealed the sadness she couldn't suppress, no matter how many painful things she was thinking about.
"No, no, no," Yu Wei said, both amused and exasperated. "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that Senior Brother Song made the old sect leader's dying words known to the entire sect, and everyone in the sect also knows about your relationship with Junior Brother Qi."
“Now that they are so close, Senior Brother Song will definitely have rumors about you after you go out so as not to be criticized.”
It might be a rumor... who knows.
Remembering Mu Qianqian's instructions, Yu Wei considered it for a moment and then decided to speak frankly.
"Junior Sister Yun, before I left the sect, Senior Sister Mu from Cold Moon Peak asked me to do her a favor..."
Mu Qianqian once approached Yu Wei, asking her to do her a favor and relay a few words to Yun Zhao.
Of course, whether or not to tell Yun Zhao these words is conditional.
"Senior Sister Mu said that if Senior Brother Song and Junior Sister Xue's relationship warms up, they'll become Daoist partners, so she told me to tell you."
After hearing Yu Wei's words, Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment; a new memory had appeared in her mind—
When she was very young, Song Zhiyuan became a disciple of Master Guiyuan, and they were very good playmates.
Until that incident happened, they broke up.
No, it should be said that she unilaterally severed her friendship with Song Zhiyuan.
