After Fan Wuyou left the Xianyao Sect, he entrusted all the affairs of the sect to Master Qingxu. His departure had been so hurried that many matters remained unresolved, prompting Master Qingxu to summon the elders from each peak to explain the situation.
Upon learning that a demon had resurfaced, the elders were taken aback, shaking their heads and sighing. These demons were truly despicable; every time they emerged, they wreaked havoc! A whole city had nearly been devastated by their actions! And then there was the Bai family, which was utterly foolish!
"I have called you all here not only to remind you but also to discuss how we should deal with the remnants of the Bai family," Master Qingxu said. "Although our Xianyao Sect is one of the four major sects, the Bai family is a prominent clan with a long history. Moreover, while these individuals are tainted by bloodshed, most of them are unaware of the reasons behind it and do not realize they are serving the demon race."
"What would be the most appropriate way for our Xianyao Sect to handle these remnants? If these individuals knowingly served the demon race, they would naturally be treated as traitors. In that case, even if our sect executed them, no one would object. However, the difficulty lies in the fact that they are completely unaware of their actions."
"If we define this matter as them engaging in some dirty work for their family head, then it becomes a private family issue that does not warrant our sect's intervention. At least, it cannot be decided unilaterally by our Xianyao Sect."
Master Qingxu pondered for a long time but could not come to a conclusion and thus sought the opinions of the elders.
Elder Chang nodded in agreement. "These remnants should not be punished lightly; otherwise, it won't deter those traitors. But if we impose severe penalties, we might invite criticism for overreaching our authority."
"In that case, why not delegate this troublesome matter? The sect leader is currently meeting with leaders from several other sects; we could let them help resolve this issue together. With other sects involved and a public trial process established to announce these individuals' crimes to the world, I believe other cultivators will have little to say about it."
The other elders also agreed wholeheartedly. Seeing them nod in agreement, Master Qingxu decided not to say more and prepared to contact Fan Wuyou.
Meanwhile, Master Hanying rubbed her temples, her expression somewhat dazed. For some reason, ever since a few days ago, she had often felt as if she was overlooking something important. Yet whenever she tried to think about it, her mind felt clouded.
With her brows tightly furrowed, Master Hanying wondered if this proposal was inappropriate. She shook her head; since the elders had already discussed this matter thoroughly, she naturally had nothing further to add.
"I only heard from the Real Person that there is a Soul Affliction in Tongling. Could you elaborate on it for me?"
The Clear Void Real Person shook his head. "I left in a hurry and know little about this Soul Affliction. If you are interested, you can ask Qi Xiao for more information. He understands this matter the best and discovered the peculiarities behind the Soul Affliction."
Upon hearing Qi Xiao's name, the Cold Shadow Real Person immediately lost interest. She coldly stood up. "No need."
Seeing her leave so abruptly, the other elders couldn't help but furrow their brows.
"Strange," one of them remarked.
"What's strange?" Elder Huang spoke up. "The Clear Void Real Person might not know, but just a few days ago, the third disciple from the Tranquil Peak came back and fell into a deep sleep, looking dazed. That senior apprentice even asked me to take a look at her!"
"The symptoms of that girl are exactly the same as what you described!"
Just now, when the Cold Shadow Real Person inquired about this matter, she probably wanted to ask about her disciple's condition. But why did she stop after just a couple of questions? Even if she dislikes Qi Xiao, this concerns her disciple's life; it shouldn't warrant such aversion.
The elders chatted among themselves for a while and ultimately felt that the Cold Shadow Real Person was being excessively harsh on Qi Xiao.
"I see that child has left Tranquil Peak and hasn't done anything bad," one elder noted. "Moreover, he actively helps others in this matter; he doesn't seem like the rumors suggest."
After much discussion, they couldn't reach a conclusion. In the end, it was the Clear Void Real Person who coldly reprimanded them. "Enough! These words are fine here, but do not let them spread."
After saying this, the Clear Void Real Person frowned again. "By the way, since even the Cold Shadow Real Person from Tranquil Peak is here for this meeting, why hasn't Elder Ye arrived?"
Elder Huang immediately responded, "Elder Ye seems to have gone to the extreme north to find some Cold Lotus."
"Ah, you know how he is—he's always thinking about how to cure his own child's affliction."
"It's a pity that child was born with an incomplete heart pulse; it's not easy to treat!"
"All his efforts have been in vain, and he's only delayed himself!"
For all this time, his cultivation has seen no progress whatsoever.
Hearing this, Qingxu Zhenren furrowed his brows even deeper. With a great enemy looming, Elder Ye was still so negligent about his cultivation? If given the chance, he would definitely remind him a few times.
Meanwhile, at Qingjing Peak.
Lan Wanyu sat by the bedside, staring blankly at the sleeping Yu Miaoyin.
Ye Xiuyuan quietly slipped in and softly spoke, "Fourth Senior Sister, you've been here for a long time. Why not take a break?"
Lan Wanyu turned her head away and wiped her eyes. "I'm fine; I'm not tired. I'm just a bit regretful."
Yu Miaoyin's illness was truly strange. Even Elder Huang said there was little hope, leaving her feeling even more helpless. She had only left in anger for a moment, never expecting to return to such a situation.
Elder Huang mentioned that Third Senior Sister might never wake up again. Did that mean that her impulsive departure was their last meeting?
With her head lowered, Lan Wanyu felt her heart shatter. Ye Xiuyuan stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder, offering comfort. "Fourth Senior Sister, try not to be too sad. If Third Senior Sister knew you were crying for her, she would feel heartbroken too."
Upon hearing this, Lan Wanyu felt a pang of discomfort in her heart. How could Ye Xiuyuan have the nerve to comfort her? From what perspective was he offering her solace? If it weren't for his quarrel with several other senior sisters, how could Yu Miaoyin have gone out and encountered such misfortune?
Moreover, Third Senior Sister had gone out for him; yet he had arrived early instead. Even when Third Senior Sister had been delayed in returning and met with an accident, it was the other senior sisters who noticed first.
Ye Xiuyuan stood there advising her not to be sad; what about him? Did he feel even the slightest regret?
Lan Wanyu couldn't help but feel resentment. His words came so easily; if Third Senior Sister hadn’t been for him that day, she wouldn’t have faced such an accident. Yet these days, he acted as if nothing had happened.
Ye Xiuyuan's face paled as he fell silent. He stammered slightly, trying to defend himself. "Is that really how you see me, Senior Sister? Do you truly think I'm that kind of person?"
Lan Wanyu let out a cold laugh. "Isn't it? During these days when Third Senior Sister has been unconscious, how many times have you come to see her?"
