These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

3. Sect Master, you're so impressive!

"Wei Tu! You don't even bow to the sect leader?!"

This was Yuan Wei's angry shout.

Lu Qingyan wouldn't care about these things. Anyway, her disciple didn't even respect his master. All he thought about was betraying his master and ancestors. He was simply a rebellious disciple.

When Yuan Wei drank it, Lu Qingyan frowned and looked at him.

Wei Tu also looked at Yuan Wei.

Who are you?

"you……!"

Yuan Wei was stunned. He hadn't expected this young man to still act so unrestrainedly. To be honest, the fact that this young man was the last person to see the ancestor before his passing was enough to make many people envious.

Even he himself couldn't secure this opportunity for Li Hanyang.

That's why I wanted to give Wei Tu a piece of my mind out of resentment.

Unfortunately, Wei Tu never falls for that. As a handsome man who is easily swayed by gentleness but not by force, Wei Tu's good temper is only relative.

They were about to start arguing.

But Ran Xinxue said it at this moment.

"It's alright. After all, he is a disciple valued by the Ancestor. Whether or not he bows or not is irrelevant. I don't care about this."

"The sect leader is very magnanimous, but what if the disciples in the sect follow suit? The more a disciple is valued, the more he should pay attention to his words and deeds, otherwise, as the old saying goes, 'Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish.'"

"I'm still in the desolate land of Bashan and Chushui."

Wei Tu muttered something, then looked at Ran Xinxue.

Ran Xinxue shook her head helplessly, and even sighed as if she were aggrieved.

"It's alright. Although I am the head of a sect, my talent is not as good as many of my disciples. It's normal for them to look down on me..."

Wei Tu bowed and clasped his hands in an annoyed manner.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Despite her alluring beauty, Ran Xinxue looked at Wei Tu with a 'surprise' as if she were feeling wronged and ashamed.

"Oh, Wei Tu... I dare not let you bow like that, no need for formalities, the sect will rely on young men like you a lot in the future!"

Good heavens, in no time at all, the way the other elders in the entire Baoguang Hall looked at Wei Tu changed.

It was as if Wei Tu was an ambitious and ruthless villain who would not let others have their way once he gained power.

Once they attain enlightenment, all their ugly faces seem to emerge.

Wei Tu took a deep breath and smiled.

"No, no, no, the sect must follow your lead, Sect Master. May I ask what brings you here, Sect Master..."

Ran Xinxue blinked innocently at Wei Tu.

"If something happens, will you help the sect resolve it?"

Wei Tu gritted his teeth slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

"If it's a matter for the sect, I will certainly do my best. However, it depends on the matter. If it's not something I can do, I wouldn't dare to make any promises."

"Sigh~~~~"

What are you sighing about?!

Ran Xinxue sighed sadly.

"With the passing of our ancestor, the sect's morale has truly collapsed. Even her most favored disciple is now unwilling to contribute to the sect..."

Ran Xinxue's words were so pitiful, as if the whole world had left her helpless and alone, only able to support the entire sect with her frail figure. This made Lu Qingyan unable to help but speak up.

"Sect Master, please speak freely. If Tu'er cannot solve this, I will also help."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Ran Xinxue looked at Lu Qingyan with a grateful expression, then glanced at Wei Tu.

The smugness in his eyes made Wei Tu touch his fingers.

Ran Xinxue was startled, then immediately stood up straight and said in a deep voice.

"Here's what happened. The Shang Kingdom, which provides us with incense and resources and has a close cooperative relationship with us, has recently encountered some trouble. The King of Shang personally sent a letter requesting the help of our Yuanjian Sect."

Wei Tu remained silent, while Lu Qingyan frowned.

"The Shang Kingdom... is that the country of the empress who has only been on the throne for less than a year?"

Ran Xinxue nodded.

"That's right, it's the Shang Kingdom."

"What exactly happened that's so serious?"

Yuan Wei also became puzzled. Ran Xinxue hadn't told him beforehand, but instead said she would wait for the elders to arrive so they could discuss it together.

Lin Ruoyin watched calmly, as if these things had nothing to do with her. In Wei Tu's eyes, this woman, who was even colder than Lu Qingyan and almost indifferent, was just there to make up the numbers.

She doesn't react at all unless you mention her.

Dye new snow trails.

"Firstly, the way this empress ascended the throne wasn't through usurpation. It was because after the death of the previous emperor of the Shang Kingdom, his sons fought for power, resulting in several deaths and injuries. The one most likely to ascend the throne died suddenly overnight, leaving no heirs. Several ministers were preparing to recommend another, but before that distant prince even arrived in the capital, news of his misdeeds in his fiefdom had already spread throughout the capital. Amidst the public outrage, this prince, who hadn't even arrived in the capital to ascend the throne, was deposed. In order to quell public resentment and stabilize the situation in the Shang Kingdom as quickly as possible, the ministers could only recommend a woman who was virtuous and intelligent from a young age..."

"and then."

"But since the coronation, which has been about a month and a half, strange things have been happening in the Shang Kingdom one after another. Suddenly, ministers and generals have died in their residences for unknown reasons. No one could find any wounds, but their deaths were extremely gruesome, as if they had suffered a great shock before death. Then there was a common point: they found a small figure, suspected to be a result of witchcraft, under the beds of the deceased..."

As soon as Ran Xinxue finished speaking, Yuan Wei frowned.

"A voodoo doll... Could it be a technique used by those cults?"

Wei Tu knew about witchcraft, but he hadn't had much contact with these people in his previous life. They rarely traveled the martial world or cultivated themselves into immortals, because in the eyes of the Great Dao, their methods could not be described as honorable, but rather as despicable and shameless.

These are all insidious methods, and it is said that even the sacrificial rituals performed by the witchcraft tribe are extremely evil.

In order to cure a child's illness, parents may even have to donate their own internal organs.

In order to save their parents, a child's life must be sacrificed.

These things violate human ethics and even the laws of nature. Not to mention that these witchcraft people never care about justice or evil in order to achieve their goals. Their methods are bloody and cunning. Although their positive abilities have never been very strong, no one would want to offend these people.

Because if you offend one person, your future food, clothing, shelter, and transportation may no longer be peaceful, and there may not be a place in your life where you can feel at ease. Some evil spells may not even need to come into contact with you.

Of course, some of these are just rumors, while others are genuinely malicious.

"Probably."

Ran Xinxue said this.

Lu Qingyan frowned and said, "Those witchcraft people are treacherous and cunning. Is it really appropriate to send Wei Tu? Besides, is it really necessary for our Yuanjian Sect to get involved? To offend these treacherous villains for the sake of a kingdom in the mortal realm..."

Ran Xinxue shook his head.

"Our ancestor left a will that if the Shang Kingdom were to encounter any trouble, especially one of great importance to the Immortal Continent, we must intervene! I suspect that the Shang Kingdom may possess something that those forces covet, but our ancestor did not tell me what it is. She probably felt that it was best for the Shang Kingdom to keep those things safe. Her dying wish was for our Yuanjian Sect to ensure that the Shang Kingdom is not influenced by those forces, and at least that those secrets do not fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives."

Wei Tu thought of something.

The Silver Dragon God in the Dead Zone once told him that he was skilled in divination, and one of his divinations predicted that the Abyss Sword Sect would face annihilation within a year, and no one would be able to escape it.

If his divination was genuine and effective and not a deception, could it be related to this sudden event?

As Wei Tu was pondering, Lu Qingyan hesitated and said, "Since it's such an important matter, it's not appropriate to send only Wei Tu as a disciple. Why don't we elders go and take a look?"

Ran Xinxue also shook her head and said, "No, now that our ancestor has passed away, there are countless forces secretly watching our Yuanjian Sect. If a few elders go, it will not only alert them and leave empty-handed, but it will also allow other forces with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation. If a war is started between sects and you cannot return in time or are held up, the entire Yuanjian Sect will be affected."

Even if you manage to return, the sect will likely suffer heavy losses. Wei Tu, on the other hand, already possesses the strength of a Dragon Slayer, roughly equivalent to several elders. His going would be equivalent to being an elder, and wouldn't attract the attention of other forces—this is the safest approach.

If Wei Tu hadn't known Ran Xinxue's despicable nature, he would have actually believed it.

Goodness, the old lady is wearing a bra, one after another.

These reasons were so well-fabricated that they not only prevented Lu Qingyan from helping, but also made it so that she had no choice but to go.

"This……"

Lu Qingyan looked at Wei Tu hesitantly.

Of course, she didn't want Wei Tu to go. If possible, simply because of her unfounded favoritism, she didn't want this young man to put himself in any danger.

When Lu Qingyan learned that the boy almost didn't make it back from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, she had nightmares for several days after returning, dreaming of the boy covered in blood and lying in her arms.

Once Wei Tu saw the worried look in Lu Qingyan's eyes, he realized that there was no turning back now.

So Wei Tu cupped his hands and said.

"Disciple understands. I will prepare for this matter for a while and then immediately set off for Qichen. I will definitely complete the task perfectly."

Wei Tu didn't want to act as if he could handle these things easily, but he knew that Ran Xinxue's plan was likely that if he didn't go, then Lu Qingyan would go.

Just like Lu Qingyan's reluctance to take risks, Wei Tu felt that Lu Qingyan was even less suitable to go. She was good at facing enemies head-on, but when it came to insidious schemes... The more Lu Qingyan doted on him, the more he favored her.

Lu Qingyan looked at Wei Tu hesitantly.

"Are you really going?"

Wei Tu smiled and nodded.

"Master, please rest assured, this time I will definitely get out unscathed and will not force myself."

Things had come to this point, and it was a done deal. Lu Qingyan knew she couldn't change the boy's decision.

The meeting ended quickly at Baoguang Hall.

As she watched these people leave Baoguang Hall one by one, Ran Xinxue revealed a satisfied expression.

"If you want to humiliate me... you might as well die together! You'd better die in the Shang Kingdom, so we can all die together! Even if I die, I won't let you continue to humiliate me..."

She sat contentedly on the low couch, feeling genuinely pleased just thinking about the boy's angry, itchy-toothed expression as he looked at her.

So cool!
