Du Ruolan's eyes finally reddened at these words, and tears fell soundlessly. Hugging Wei Yunqing, she sobbed softly, venting the pent-up misery in her heart.
Wei Yunqing could only hold her mother and comfort her. At that moment, she did not know whether she hated Wei Yunxi more for laying everything bare, or Wei Lingyue more for hurting her mother. Yet in her memories, her father truly had favored her more.
After Du Ruolan had vented her emotions, she took her daughter's hand and said:
"Qing'er, don't confront Wei Yunxi head-on in the future. With Three Spiritual Roots, she was able to form a Golden Core—she must have an opportunity of her own. You are not her match right now, so you must protect yourself first."
Wei Yunqing did not particularly like hearing that. She had an opportunity of her own as well. Touching the hidden bracelet on her wrist, she nodded perfunctorily.
"Mother, I understand. My cultivation being low now does not mean I will be inferior to Wei Yunxi in the future. One day, I will surpass her, become the number one person in the Wei Family, and become a Personal Disciple of the Haoran Sect."
Only then did Du Ruolan nod in satisfaction.
Yunxi withdrew her divine sense, pinched Dian Dian, and returned to her room to cultivate. There was still another female protagonist by her side; she could not let the other girl surpass her.
At this time, Wei Lingyue, who was in seclusion, did not yet know that his daughter had already planned out his future path. Du Ruolan, who claimed to love him most, had indirectly brought about Wei Yunxi's prophecy. Until the day he closed his eyes, he would only be the Wei Family's Eldest Master, his cultivation forever halted at Foundation Establishment
