Chapter 15: Insightful!
Having said all that, how could Wei Wuxian possibly turn a blind eye and watch him die?
"Forcing you?"
"Yes! You forced me to do this, and your sister compensated me!" Wei Wuxian said angrily.
Qi Yuncheng's expression froze for a moment, then he smiled and nodded: "That would be perfect. Brother Jingming is a man worthy of my entrusting my sister to you."
No, buddy...
--Snapped!
Wei Wuxian slammed his hand on the table.
"Pour me some wine!"
Qi Yuncheng's eyes immediately lit up with joy.
Wei Wuxian ignored him, frowning as he pondered.
It was too late for regrets. He had anticipated that the fairy cultivation task, along with the multi-stage reward task, would appear all at once.
not to mention......
Not to mention the kindness of lending him his clothes when he was running naked.
Saving Qi Yuncheng and his group of disciples from the Great Wei sects has indeed brought many benefits!
Firstly, of course, is his family's Imperial Preceptor's residence.
The reason why Liu Bei, the Emperor Zhaolie of Han, launched a campaign against Wu in his previous life was not only to avenge his second brother Guan Yu, but also because there were too many people from Jingzhou in the Shu Han group.
At that time, Sun Quan occupied Jingzhou, and all the generals and officials surrendered to him. Only Pan Jun claimed to be ill and refused to see him. So Sun Quan personally visited him and then appointed him as the Assistant General of the Army.
Why?
It's all for show.
Now that Wei Wuxian has rescued Qi Yuncheng and his group back to Wei, let's not even talk about whether these people will truly be loyal to Wei.
At least those disciples from the Great Wei that Qi Yuncheng mentioned, or those who were tired of the "cannibalistic" sects, would consider surrendering to the Great Wei when they became enemies with it.
Lessons from the past, the teacher behind the car.
Secondly, it's for their own sake.
He risked his life to act as a messenger, and Qi Yuncheng and others who joined the Great Wei Dynasty never forgot his kindness.
In this way, someone can use his main body.
Thirdly, there's the legal approach that Qi Yuncheng mentioned.
The power and authority of the Heavenly and Earthly Fruits have been completely weakened, and the era of the Empty Fruits has arrived ahead of schedule. This change is too great, and he has to deal with it personally.
The remaining benefits, such as his incarnation becoming closer to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, are best left unmentioned.
The downsides are that, aside from the possibility of encountering a few harmless assassination attempts, this avatar will likely be exposed to the fairies he has nurtured.
After all, with his life in danger, his avatar could no longer slowly search for the new version of the Dao Fruit cultivation path; he could only follow the old cultivation path with its upper limit.
But the old path also has its advantages; one's cultivation level can be improved quickly.
The plot has changed so much, and they were even saying he'd let the incarnation of his true form first test the waters of the new cultivation method...
But there's nothing that can be done now.
He drank the toast offered by Qi Yuncheng.
Wei Wuxian stood up.
"Can you come with me to the Imperial Preceptor's residence now?"
"No, it's inconvenient for me to go. Drinking with Brother Jingming here is already extremely risky." Qi Yuncheng shook his head decisively. "Besides, today is the deadline. I have to go to the sect's meeting place first thing tomorrow morning."
"Then wait for me at the inn, I will give you an answer later."
Qi Yuncheng stood up and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Brother Jingming. If I am lucky enough to survive this, I will go through fire and water for you."
Wei Wuxian waved his hand and turned to leave.
Instead of going directly to the former Imperial Preceptor's residence to find Wei Zhixi, they first went to the Phoenix City branch of the Great Wei Dao Academy.
After saying goodbye to the teacher on duty at the college.
Soon, Wei Wuxian saw Qi Qianmo again.
"Qianmo greets Brother Li."
Seeing Wei Wuxian's serious expression, the girl acted timidly and greeted him very obediently.
Wei Wuxian waved his hand.
"Qianmo, I have a few questions for you, and you must answer them truthfully."
"Is it related to your older brother?"
"Yes." Wei Wuxian cut to the chase, deliberately trying to scare her: "Your answer will determine whether he lives or dies, and may even implicate you and your family, so you'd better think carefully about your answer. If you don't answer well, next time it won't be me, but the Demon Suppression Division."
The girl's pretty face paled, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes as she looked at him pitifully.
Wei Wuxian put on a stern face and pretended not to see it.
"My first question is, how many times has your brother come back over the years?"
"Never, not even once."
"So, when I met you two outside the city last time, was it actually the first time you siblings had met each other?"
"Yes, my cultivation at the Taoist academy was not going well, so I asked for leave to go home, and I happened to see my elder brother when I got home."
"And then, did he offer to send you to Phoenix, or did you beg him?"
"My elder brother offered to give it to me."
Wei Wuxian nodded inwardly. If Qi Qianmo wasn't lying, then Qi Yuncheng had come to Phoenix City on a whim, and their meeting was just a lucky coincidence.
Come to think of it, my avatar has just been reborn and returned. Even the immortal lords in the mortal world could not have foreseen that I would be set up as soon as I returned to the mortal realm.
Seeing Wei Wuxian's thoughtful expression, Qi Qianmo timidly asked, "Brother Li, will my brother be alright?"
Wei Wuxian did not answer, but continued to ask, "Did your brother say anything at home, such as anything related to his sect or the Great Wei?"
"My elder brother did not mention any sect, only the Imperial Preceptor."
"What did you say?"
"The Grand Preceptor is a saint in all right, a model for all scholars. There have also been stories about the Grand Preceptor's family affairs, such as the Third Young Master, the consort of the Ninth Princess."
"..."
Wei Wuxian asked another question: "What did he say about this Third Young Master?"
"My elder brother says that a tiger father will not have a dog son. He absolutely does not believe that the Grand Preceptor's son would be a wastrel. There must be some hidden story behind this."
He's still a daddy's boy...
Having basically confirmed that Qi Yuncheng wasn't lying, Wei Wuxian's expression softened. He finally asked with a smile, "And what about you? What do you think of this third young master of the Imperial Preceptor's mansion?"
Qi Qianmo seemed surprised that Wei Wuxian would ask for her opinion. She blinked blankly for a moment before tentatively speaking:
"I don't think he's a good person. Who says that just because the father is powerful, the son must be powerful? As the old saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. I heard that the Third Young Master loves to drink and roam. The Master said that those who go to those places have impure intentions. Anyway, as far as I know, the ones in our academy who love to drink and roam are the ones with the lowest merit rankings in our academy."
Wei Wuxian nodded emphatically: "Insightful!"
Upon hearing Wei Wuxian's approval, Qi Qianmo smiled, seemingly pleased that her answer had satisfied Wei Wuxian.
"Brother Li, will my brother be in trouble?"
"He should be fine. What, are you worried about him? Haven't you two met before?"
Qi Qianmo lowered her head, pursed her lips, and murmured, "But he's still my brother. My parents have always told me how sensible he is and how I should learn from him. I'm tired of hearing it, but when I saw him when I got home that day, I still... Anyway, Brother Li, my brother is really a good person."
"Um......"
"Brother Li, you're a good person too. As the Master said, good people are always rewarded, right?"
"Yes.
Wei Wuxian smiled at her: "However, I'm not exactly a good person. Have you ever seen a good person waiting on the roadside naked to ambush someone?"
As if recalling the scene of their meeting that day, Qi Qianmo turned her face away shyly.
"Well, even horses can stumble, and people can make mistakes. Accidents are bound to happen when you're traveling the world..."
"I'm not stupid. I know in my heart whether Brother Li is a good person or not. At least a bad person wouldn't care about a stranger..."
"Brother Li came to see me today because he probably doesn't quite trust my brother's character. The Master and the Master have both said that people outside the Taoist temple are treacherous, especially those who practice on the mountain."
If her brother could raise such a kind, intelligent, and lovely girl, his upbringing must be quite good as well.
The last bit of hesitation in my heart was dispelled.
"Alright, let's go back. I believe what your brother said is true, and he'll most likely be fine."
"Um!"
Qi Qianmo nodded emphatically: "Thank you, Brother Li."
