Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 49 Gossip
Next, Lian Gouqie kept chattering about various dramas he had heard, such as talented men and beautiful women, murder and robbery, wise rulers and loyal ministers... and used these to torture Wei and Qin.

Listening to Lian Gou'e's voice, Qin Feng felt as if he was back in Jucheng, listening to those old lords and young ladies telling operas over and over again in the embroidered silk curtains and heavy brocade.

Her head started aching whenever she thought about it, and she stood up in a daze and said goodbye.

Only Wei Xi and Lian Gouqie were left in Wei Xi's room.

Wei Xi grew up in a secluded mountain village, but she didn't like these things, so she lay down on the bed and took a nap.

Even though Lian Gouyu had no audience, he didn't want to make himself look bad. He went out to try to get close to the head of the magic sect and even helped Wei Xi close the door before leaving.

Perhaps because he was exhausted from running around in the secret realm, Wei Xi actually fell asleep.

She also had a rather rare dream in which she turned into a weed and was pulled up by hooks and hooks, with red ropes tangled all around her feet.

Wei Xi suddenly opened her eyes. Because she was mute, Lingyin was still sleeping peacefully on her chest, otherwise the fluffy bird would have screamed in its sleep.

Only when she felt Lingyin's warmth did Wei Xi feel a sense of reality. She did not sit up from the bed in a hurry, but just half-closed her eyes to adapt to the light.

Wei Xi fell asleep in the afternoon, and now it was almost dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun filled the guest room through the window.

It's rare to have such leisure time. Wei Xi always seems to have endless work to do in Tianshui Village.

In spring, they carry baskets to dig wild vegetables, in summer they weed the fields, in autumn they harvest and dry the crops, and in winter they hoe the fields and collect manure. There's also endless grass to haul and firewood to collect.

Even playing was tiring. She followed her father to hunt in the mountains, learned to sew clothes with her mother, and herded cattle with Wei Dong.

Being idle is like a slow torture for Wei Xi. After all, if a girl from any family suddenly has free time, she may be sold to a rich family in the town to be a maid the next day.

Various natural disasters made Wei Xi fear leisure time - after all, there was work to do in years of good weather, but in years of disaster, there was no farm work to do.

When Wei Xi was playing alone, he once thought about what he would do if he didn’t have to work one day.

But her father had to hunt and farm, and her mother had to cook, sew, and take care of the children. Her father's father was also a hunter, and her mother's mother not only took care of the children but also slaughtered pigs to feed them.

The clouds in the sky of Tianshui Village keep changing, and the men and women on the land of Tianshui Village are like this from generation to generation.

Sometimes Wei Xi felt that being mute was the biggest change in Tianshui Village. This anomaly was a small rebellion, but it would eventually lead to the same fate as her ancestors.

Now she was lying on a bed in the Western Regions, arriving at a place that the Wei family had never been to for generations.

Wei Xi wondered why he had this nightmare. Was it just because of the terrible experience in the secret realm?
Or is it because she has an extraordinary life and so she is afraid that she will lose it?
Wei Xi is not even eleven years old yet, she can’t figure it out now.

After washing her face, Wei Xi used her sleeve to cover the mark that had begun to turn purple - she estimated that it would take a few days for the mark to turn into a bruise.

Wei Xi figured it was almost dinner time, so he headed downstairs to grab a good table. The Wanfa Sect was incredibly wealthy, and they'd been paying for all the meals over the past few days, with the head of the magic sect leading the charge.

Wei Xi stopped when he met Ge Cang holding clothes on the stairs.

The blue Taoist robe in Ge Cang's arms almost covered her face, and her hands, which were covered with frostbite, barely held the clothes.

It was obvious that few of these clothes were her own.

".Daoyou Wei!" Ge Cang didn't know how he saw Wei Xi from the pile of clothes, "Are you okay?"

"I'm glad you're okay," Ge Cang's voice was not much louder than a mosquito, and Wei Xi frowned when he heard it, "They all said that you were killed along with the thing that killed Elder Shi." "Thing?" Wei Xi fell asleep after being interrogated. Has the verdict already been reached?

Ge Cang's face turned pale. "That's right. I heard from the cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect that the black shadow you were chasing was someone seeking revenge. Elder Shi's Qi Palace was shattered."

After saying this, Ge Cang shrank her neck. Seeing her like this, Wei Xi knew that the disciples of Huaixin Sect must have bullied her a lot.

But Wei Xi didn't plan to do anything. After all, if someone called her dumb or bullied her, she would either bite back or resort to treachery. When Qin Feng was bullied, she would just take out her sword and chop him without hesitation. Even when Gou Lu slapped him twice, he still slapped him back secretly.

Others can only help her temporarily. If she doesn't resist, she will be bullied for the rest of her life.

"Can you find the black shadow?" Wei Xi asked.

"I'm not sure," Ge Cang looked at Wei Xi, "I'm glad that thing didn't hurt you."

Wei Xi responded nonchalantly. After all, Lian Gou Xie had no intention of hurting others. He only wanted to steal other people's things.

"Fellow Daoist Wei?" Geng Chengcai came down from upstairs and ran into Wei Xi and Ge Cang standing together.

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Wei and Fellow Daoist Qin are safe and sound. This is finally some good news," Geng Chengcai said with a frown, looking at Ge Cang, who was holding a pile of clothes. "If you have something to do, leave quickly. Don't stand here like an idiot."

Ge Cang squeezed out an "OK" from his throat and was about to leave in a hurry.

"Sit next to me when we have dinner later!" Geng Chengcai said to Ge Cang, who nodded stiffly and quickly left.

"They say the Huaixin Sect has strict rules," Wei Xi said. "Today I've learned that seeing is believing."

Geng Chengcai was worried about Shi Ke. He was one of the top disciples in the previous class and was deeply impressed by Qin Feng. Seeing that this Taoist friend who spoke with a bird was on good terms with Qin Feng, he knew that this person was probably trying to make fun of him.

"It's better to have stricter rules," Geng Chengcai said, "so we won't go downhill."

Such gossip, just a joke, can't hurt the thick-skinned people from the Qingcheng Sect.

Wei Xi put on a panicked expression. "Elder Shi, this incident has caused such a big stir that I'm afraid it will spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation in a few days. The Sect Leader said there will be a sect competition in a few years. Will there be a lot of gossip then?"

Geng Chengcai was able to stand out among all the disciples, so he could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Wei Xi's words.

Bullshit gossip, has Qingcheng Sect ever been afraid of gossip?

This was a warning to himself not to go too far with Ge Cang, otherwise, whenever someone mentioned the matter of Shi Ke, several important witnesses would be dragged out. If Ge Cang continued to be like this, the Huaixin faction would definitely be embarrassed.

Geng Chengcai just felt a headache. It would have been fine if Fan Ci had just given him a reminder, but why did this mute from the Qingcheng Sect warn him for no reason?

As for the bullying of Ge Cang, Geng Chengcai asked himself if he had ever participated in it, but he did not stop it either.

It was such bad luck that he had to spare some time to take care of someone who was of no use to him.

Because Geng Chengcai's face was very unhappy. Wei Xi acted like she knew nothing, thinking that the tactics used in the village's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war were quite effective.
