"Ancestor Nanfeng had perished after only one night. How could I not suspect something? If it were Father, would you believe it was a coincidence?"
After hearing his eldest daughter's explanation, Wei Lingyue was stunned as well. He had not expected Ancestor Nanfeng to think so highly of Yunqing that he had even found a Nascent Soul True Lord to take her as a disciple. If that was the case, then his daughter indeed had reason to be suspicious.
Du Ruolan, standing to one side, first looked delighted, then regretful and vexed. She felt that the Old Ancestor had died at the worst possible time. At the very least, he should have waited until her daughter had taken a master before dying.
At this moment, Wei Lingyue's thoughts actually aligned with Du Ruolan's. He said regretfully:
"Yunqing, did the Old Ancestor tell you which True Lord he intended to have you take as your master?"
Yunqing frowned and shook her head.
"The Old Ancestor did not mention it. He only told me to make preparations over the next few days."
After hearing Yunqing's answer, the room fell silent. It was no longer only Yunqing who found the Old Ancestor's death suspicious; even Wei Lingyue now shared the same doubts.
Du Ruolan had not gone to the discussion hall and did not yet know that the matter of the Old Ancestor's passing had already been settled. Thus, she said directly:
"Since there are doubts, then keep investigating. We will surely find some clue or trace."
Wei Lingyue shook his head.
"Yunqing did not inform me beforehand. She even brought fellow disciples and a magic artifact back herself. After repeated examinations, it had already been confirmed that the Old Ancestor perished after his lifespan was exhausted.
