Chapter 10 The future is uncertain

The Wei family had fifty-four children over the age of five who took the spiritual root test this time, and only sixteen of them had spiritual roots, which was less than half. However, the Wei family was very satisfied with the result. At least Wei Yunqing had dual spiritual roots of water and wood, and this aptitude was already very good in Kunyu City.

Afterwards, all the children who were found to have spiritual roots stayed in the Wei family. The next year would determine their fate and was also their last chance to change their destiny.

Don’t think that everything will be fine just because you have spiritual roots. Only when you successfully draw Qi into your body can you truly begin to practice. Only when you have established a foundation can you be called a cultivator and have the opportunity to pursue the great Dao.

Therefore, this year is very important. These children of the Wei family must cross the threshold of drawing Qi into the body, and then decide their next path based on their cultivation speed and their respective advantages.

However, these have nothing to do with Wei Yunqing, because Wei Lingyue has decided to send his eldest daughter to Haoran Sect to practice.

When Du Ruolan heard the news, she was happy in her heart and couldn't help showing some of her joy on her face, which Wei Yunqing could see.

"Mom, why are you so happy today?"

Du Ruolan touched her daughter's hair and said with a sincere smile:
"Of course mother is happy. Your father told me privately that he wants to send you to Haoran Sect to practice. The next three months are very important. You must draw Qi into your body as soon as possible. It would be best if you can improve your cultivation to the third level of Qi Refining. This way, you will have a better chance of entering Haoran Sect and you will also have the hope of finding a good master.

With Master's guidance, your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. With the support of the sect, your mother's position in the Wei family will become more and more stable. This way, the Wei family can devote all their efforts to training you."

After hearing what his mother said, Wei Yunqing immediately nodded and said:
"Don't worry, mother. I know what to do."

After she finished speaking, she thought for a moment and said:

"Mother, I want to take Wei Yunxi to Haoran Sect with me."

After hearing what her daughter said, Du Ruolan was stunned for a moment and then frowned and asked:

"Qing'er, did anyone tell you something? Why should I bring Yunxi with you to Haoran Sect?"

After all, Wei Yunqing is young and can't explain why, but she just feels that she should keep Wei Yunxi by her side, which will be good for her. It has to be said that the heroine's instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm is very sharp.

However, Du Ruolan didn't think so. In her eyes, Haoran Sect was the second-ranked sect in the western region, and the number of places the Wei family had was limited. Why should she give this opportunity to Wei Yunxi? She didn't want to make wedding dresses for Feng Jiayun's daughter.

The reason why the Wei family was able to get this rare quota was because the Wei family's ancestor had a past relationship with a Yuanying stage senior from the Haoran Sect. That's why that senior looked after the Wei family, but only provided the quota to enter the Haoran Sect. As for whether they could officially join the sect and how far they could go, this senior would not ask.

Wei Yunqing seemed to see his mother's hesitation, so he immediately pulled Du Ruolan's clothes and said:

"Mother, I want to take Wei Yunxi with me. She has some good stuff."

When Du Ruolan heard this, her eyes turned and she immediately thought of the hairpin her daughter wanted before. She patted her daughter's hand and said:
"Don't worry, my daughter. Mother knows what you said, but this matter still depends on your father's opinion. Her aptitude is not as good as yours, so your father may not be willing to send her to the sect to practice."

Wei Yunqing said anxiously:

"Mother, please think of a solution quickly."

"Don't worry, my son. I'll go talk to your father about this."

After Du Ruolan comforted her daughter, she arranged for her confidant to find out the news about Zhuohuayuan.

At this time, Wei Yunxi didn't know that she had been targeted by Wei Yunqing, who wanted her to continue to be the boy who brought wealth. At this moment, she was sorting out her treasure pendant and preparing the things for the clan school tomorrow.

Chunyu and the other four maids silently assisted. They knew that once their young lady began to practice, she would be completely different from them, and they would be able to help her less and less. At this time, the Wei family's steward came to Zhuohua Court with an ordinary-looking maid and said respectfully to Wei Yunxi:

"Miss, this is the maid that I have assigned to you. She has reached the third level of Qi Refining. From today on, she will be your personal escort. She will pick you up and drop you off at the training hall every day. She will also be your guardian during your training."

After hearing this, Wei Yunxi frowned, then smiled and nodded:
"Grandpa Butler, thank Dad for me."

After saying that, he turned to the woman standing next to the housekeeper with her eyes lowered and asked sweetly:
"What do you call this sister?"

The woman immediately replied:

"My name is Pearl, I don't deserve to be called Sister, Miss."

Wei Yunxi didn't know the origins of this maid, and she was only at the third level of Qi Refining, so she politely said:

"Then I will call you Pearl from now on. You will be placed in the side courtyard with Chunyu first, and you can pick me up tomorrow morning to go to the training hall."

"Yes, ma'am."

Zhenzhu was very tactful and followed Chunyu out of the main courtyard.

After the butler sent the person there, he bowed and said goodbye. He had a lot of things to do, and coming in person also showed that the master valued his daughter.

After the housekeeper left, Wei Yunxi said to the remaining three maids:
"That pearl looks unfamiliar. Have you ever seen it?"

The three of them shook their heads. A hint of hesitation flashed across Dongmei's face, which was just seen by Wei Yunxi. She immediately asked:
"Dongmei, do you know this person?"

Dongmei shook her head and said:
"My lady, I don't know this Pearl, but I saw her talking to Liu Xu in Madam Du's yard. I didn't hear what they said, as they were quite far away."

When Wei Yunxi heard this, the alarm bells in her mind immediately rang. This was not a good thing. If Zhenzhu was Du Ruolan's person, then there would be no good thing for her to be with him. It would be equivalent to her being monitored.

After hearing this, Xia Mo and Qiu Tao looked at their young lady with concern. This Zhenzhu had cultivation, unlike them. Even if they wanted to help the young lady, they didn't know how to do it.

Wei Yunxi stretched out her small, fleshy hand, touched her equally fleshy chin, and immediately called Dongmei over and whispered a few words in her ear. Dongmei's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she immediately hurriedly left Zhuohuayuan. This time she left through the back door of the Wei Mansion.

Wei Yunxi continued as usual. After dinner that night, he went to bed early.

When everything was quiet, a dark shadow sneaked into the main courtyard of Zhuohuayuan and came to Wei Yunxi's bed. He first grabbed the Nawu pendant beside the pillow, checked the things inside, and then put the Nawu pendant back to its original place.

The black shadow then searched the entire bedroom, but found nothing and had to leave the bedroom in the dark.

The next day, Wei Yunxi was dug out of the quilt by Chunyu while yawning. The first thing she did was to check the Nawupei placed next to her pillow. She was relieved to find that the thing was still there. However, when she grabbed the Nawupei in her hand, she found that it had been moved.

"Spring Rain, who was on guard last night?"

"Miss, it's Xia Mo."

"Tell her to come in."
