Chapter 20 Dealing with it in secret
Pearl was suddenly grabbed by the neck. She subconsciously struggled for a moment, then realized that it was the old man who had captured her. Her face turned pale, and she could only squeeze out two words:
"uncle!"

Wei Lingyue said with a cold face:
"It was you who put the Rongling Pill in Yunxi's spiritual food!"

Zhenzhu struggled and shook her head, but unfortunately Wei Lingyue's hand was like a pair of pliers, it didn't loosen at all, and was tightening a little bit.

"No, please spare my life!!!"

Pearl had a strong desire to survive and struggled to squeeze these words out of her throat.

Wei Lingyue felt that it was about time, so he threw the man to the ground, destroyed his cultivation, and then carried him to Haitang Courtyard.

Du Ruolan's eyelids had been twitching non-stop since a while ago, which gave her a bad feeling. It was not until Wei Lingyue threw the pearl that had destroyed her cultivation at her feet that she knew something had gone wrong.

Wei Lingyue's face was very cold. He waved his sleeve and threw Du Ruolan, who was sitting at the top, to the ground. His voice was cold and icy:
"Du Ruolan, I gave you face, but you dared to harm my offspring!"

Du Ruolan gritted her teeth and said:

"Master, what are you talking about? Ruolan doesn't understand!"

Wei Lingyue snorted coldly:

"Du Ruolan, I allow you to have your own little thoughts, and I also allow you to place your own people around Yun Xi, but you should never, ever think of destroying Yun Xi's spiritual roots."

"I"

Du Ruolan only managed to utter one word before Wei Lingyue raised his hand to interrupt her:
"Don't quibble, or I'll search your soul!"

When Du Ruolan heard this, her face turned as pale as the pearl lying on the ground. If her soul was searched, not only would her plan be known to Wei Lingyue, but she would also become a fool.

When Wei Lingyue saw Du Ruolan's expression, he knew that she had instructed Zhenzhu to do this. As for the reason, he could more or less guess it.

Wei Lingyue directly hit Zhenzhu on the head with a palm. The other party didn't even make a scream and died with blood coming out of all seven orifices. When his body collapsed on the ground, his eyes were still staring at Du Ruolan.

"Ah!" Du Ruolan was frightened. After a brief exclamation, she closed her mouth tightly.

Wei Lingyue sat in the first seat and stroked his sleeves and said:

"Du Ruolan, since I've given you the position of Madam Wei, I can also make you disappear as quietly as Feng Jiayun. You'd better put away your little thoughts. Yunxi is my daughter and the bond between the Wei and Feng families. Yunxi can't be in trouble until the Feng family's alchemy technique is obtained.

Aren't you just worried that Yun Xi will dilute Yun Qing's cultivation resources? I can tell you that the two of them have different development paths. Before Yun Xi is able to serve the Wei family, if she has any problems, I will only ask you. Do you understand?"

Du Ruolan's heart was beating like a drum at this time. After hearing Wei Lingyue's words, she immediately nodded hurriedly, not daring to disobey him at all.

Wei Lingyue continued:

"Pearl is yours, you should deal with the aftermath on your own."

After saying that, he stood up and left Haitangyuan.

After everyone left, Du Ruolan stood up with the help of a chair. Tears welled up in her eyes and her heart was cold.

It was not until today that she realized that the man beside her did not care about her that much. Wei Lingyue cared more about the family's interests and the improvement of his own cultivation. She was just an insignificant decoration by his side, and her only merit was giving birth to a daughter with good spiritual roots.

Du Ruolan staggered back to the chair, laughed at herself, raised her hand to put Zhenzhu's body into the storage bag, and then said loudly:

"Somebody come!"

Zhuohuayuan

Wei Yunxi obediently stayed in the yard to read and did not practice. She knew that Wei Lingyue would definitely give her an explanation for this matter, which was actually also an explanation to the Feng family.

After Wei Lingyue took Zhenzhu away, Feng Xiu told Wei Yunxi what had happened and whispered her own theory. "Miss, Zhenzhu put the Soul-Melting Pill in your spiritual food. This pill, once in a cultivator's body, can silently dissolve their spiritual roots. It's extremely toxic and a banned drug in the world of cultivation."

Wei Yunxi's eyes widened after hearing this. She had only seen this kind of elixir in novels and had never expected it to exist in the Weiyu Realm. She swallowed and said,
"Sister Feng, if I take this kind of pill, will I be unable to practice in the future?"

"Yes, spiritual roots are given by heaven. If they are damaged, they cannot be repaired, unless..."

Feng Xiu was afraid of scaring Yun Xi, so he didn't say the rest.

However, Wei Yunxi knew that this was only possible if he extracted other people's spiritual roots for his own use.

".In short, young lady, you must be cautious when taking medicinal pills in the future, especially since you haven't yet started fasting. You must be careful about what you eat."

What Feng Xiu didn't say was that this was one of the reasons why the Feng family sent her to take care of the young lady. She was the family's top-ranked alchemist. While protecting the young lady, she would also teach her the introductory courses in alchemy.

However, when she learned that the Wei family suddenly had three more places to practice in the Haoran Sect, she felt that things might change.

After dealing with the matter of Zhenzhu, Wei Lingyue came to Zhuohuayuan again.

Wei Yunxi put down the book in his hand, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, then asked cautiously:
"Dad, how's the investigation going? Who wants to kill my daughter?"

Wei Lingyue sighed before sitting down and explaining:

"Yun Xi, this matter is your father's fault. He failed to keep a close watch on you and sent this treacherous maidservant to you."

Wei Yunxi's face showed a hint of surprise and confusion at the right time, but inside he was complaining madly:

"Make it up! Go ahead and make it up! Let's see what you can come up with."

Seeing that his daughter's reaction was not that strong, Wei Lingyue continued:
"It was the Pearl next to you who did it."

"Huh? Why? Why did she drug her daughter?"

Wei Yunxi responded cooperatively.

"She was jealous of your appreciation for Feng Xiu and was also unhappy with you for sending her to the outer courtyard. She drugged the spiritual food, hoping to make you sick for a few days. Then, she'd use the excuse that Feng Xiu didn't take good care of you and use this opportunity to get back with you."

Feng Xiu tried hard to maintain her expression. She couldn't let the young lady down, otherwise her previous act of pretending not to recognize the Rong Ling Dan would be exposed.

Wei Yunxi felt a group of alpacas running past her, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Dad, how could she have such evil intentions? Sister Feng's cultivation is higher than hers, so of course I am willing to let Sister Feng protect me!

Moreover, before each practice, Sister Feng would carefully explain to me the key points of the practice, and I was able to successfully draw Qi into my body as soon as Sister Feng came. This only proves that she herself is incompetent. Why does she blame me for not using her? Yueying, who is by Sister Yunqing's side, is better than her! "

Wei Yunxi kept talking, looking angry.

Finally she also started to have a temper:

"Dad, I don't want this maid anymore, let her go!"

Wei Lingyue then said:

"Don't worry, Yun Xi, this person with evil intentions has been dealt with. The Wei family cannot use such people.

I also want to tell you a good news, this time you can go to Haoran Sect to practice with Yunqing."

Wei Lingyue's words were within Feng Xiu's expectations. Wei Yunxi was stunned for a moment before a smile appeared on her face.
