Wei Qingyu's scene of going mad and delirious in the Training Hall had, in fact, all been seen by her father, the Wei family head, Wei Qingshan.
Seeing his daughter train here like she had lost her mind—
Wei Qingshan even began to wonder whether something was wrong with her brain.
Then, a woman's voice came from beside him.
"What are you sneaking around and looking at?"
The speaker was Wei Qingshan's wife, Liu Yucui.
Wei Qingshan hurriedly whispered to Liu Yucui, "Our daughter has gone crazy in there. Quick, take a look!"
Hearing this, Liu Yucui carefully peered through the crack in the door as well.
What she saw was Wei Qingyu beating the wooden dummy wildly inside like a madwoman.
Every now and then, she would even let out a crazed, cold laugh.
She kept muttering about the Empress, repentance, and other such things.
Seeing her daughter like this, Liu Yucui's face also took on an exceedingly complicated expression.
Wei Qingshan silently sighed beside her and said slowly, "Looks like our eldest daughter is finished."
"If it really comes down to it, should we have another child?"
But that was only a joke, after all. Wei Qingshan and Liu Yucui could not possibly truly abandon their daughter.
So Wei Qingshan carefully pushed open the door to the Training Hall.
With a genial smile, he said to Wei Qingyu, "Good daughter, you're training so diligently in the middle of the night?"
"Come get some rest. Your mother and I prepared lots of things you like to eat."
But with her Cultivation Level refusing to rise, Wei Qingyu had no appetite for anything.
Thus, she answered listlessly, "No need. I still need to train a while longer."
After saying that, Wei Qingyu threw a punch straight at the wooden dummy.
The wooden dummy spun around once, and the protruding wooden rod immediately smacked Wei Qingyu right on the head.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out.
Wei Qingyu was knocked straight to the ground.
When they saw this, Wei Qingshan and Liu Yucui froze where they stood.
Young really was good.
The moment her head hit the ground, she fell asleep!
"Ah, daughter!"
Wei Qingshan and his wife hurried over to check on their daughter.
A huge lump had immediately swollen up on Wei Qingyu's head.
Yet even so, Wei Qingyu did not cry out in pain.
Instead, she sprang upright as though enlightenment had suddenly dawned upon her. "I know!"
"The spiritual energy at home must be too thin!"
"I need to go out and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and moon!"
Just moments ago, after the wooden dummy had dealt Wei Qingyu a heavy blow to the head—
She instantly realized something extremely important.
The Sacred Origin Great Yin Scripture she cultivated, as its name implied, required a great deal of yin-attributed spiritual energy.
But not only was the spiritual energy at home scarce, it was not yin enough!
Thinking of this, Wei Qingyu ignored the lump on her head and ran straight toward the barren hills near the Wei family estate.
Seeing their daughter in such a crazed state, Wei Qingshan and Liu Yucui were utterly dumbfounded.
After a long silence, Liu Yucui said blankly, "If it really comes down to it, perhaps we should consider having another child?"
East Desolation Commandery, the Gu family estate.
Gu Zhengchun and Liu Caiyun had already returned home.
Liu Caiyun asked worriedly, "After sending that dead girl over there, the Cangshan Sword Sect should take better care of our Feng'er, right?"
Gu Zhengchun hesitated somewhat at Liu Caiyun's question.
Still, he answered, "Don't worry. Although Sect Master He has some strange tastes, he is quite reliable when it comes to handling matters."
"That girl Gu Youwei has a bit of looks. I think Sect Master He will definitely look after Feng'er."
With Gu Zhengchun's words, Liu Caiyun felt much more at ease.
But after a while, Liu Caiyun suddenly saw the crack in the wall that Gu Chen had left behind when he sent Gu Youwei flying that day.
When she thought of how Gu Youwei had raised her Cultivation Level to the sixth layer of the Body Tempering Realm in just three short days—
And how, despite suffering such severe injuries, she had recovered in less than a day merely by taking some medicine dregs—
That kind of strength was simply too terrifying!
Unable to help herself, Liu Caiyun asked even more worriedly, "Do you think that dead girl might discover all this?"
"If she comes back to settle scores with us, we might not be able to deal with her."
Hearing this, Gu Zhengchun almost wanted to laugh.
He replied directly to Liu Caiyun, "Aren't you being a little too much like someone fearing the sky will fall?"
"I admit that girl Gu Youwei has decent talent."
"But she has already entered the Cangshan Sword Sect. Escaping from that place is simply impossible!"
The expression on Gu Zhengchun's face was exceedingly smug.
Anyone who did not know better might have thought the Cangshan Sword Sect belonged to him.
"Let me tell you, Sect Master He's Cultivation Level is unfathomably deep. Even the Four Great Protectors under him have at least reached the Profound Gang Realm."
"Although Sect Master He has never revealed his true strength—"
"I estimate that Sect Master He has at least reached the Foundation Establishment level."
At this, Liu Caiyun's expression froze directly on her face.
She had only known before that He Changsong, the head of the Cangshan Sword Sect, was quite powerful.
But after hearing Gu Zhengchun say this, she felt that He Changsong was terrifying beyond measure!
Because the first four realms of cultivation were the Body Tempering Realm, Innate Realm, Profound Gang Realm, and Foundation Establishment.
For an ordinary person to cultivate to the upper stages of the Body Tempering Realm already counted as being exceptionally gifted.
If one could break through to the Innate Realm, one would be an exceedingly rare talent.
For instance, Gu Zhengchun possessed the Cultivation Level of the Innate Realm, which was already enough for him to become the Gu family head.
Thus, Liu Caiyun truly found it difficult to imagine at that moment—
Just how powerful He Changsong, with his Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, truly was!
What was more, He Changsong also had the Four Great Protectors under him.
Every one of those Four Great Protectors had reached the Profound Gang Realm.
Looking across the entire East Desolation Commandery, this was practically cultivation at the ceiling level!
Thinking of this, Liu Caiyun finally put her heart at ease.
Because she knew Gu Youwei was currently only at the sixth layer of the Body Tempering Realm.
No matter how gifted that dead girl was, even if her Cultivation Level broke through to the Innate Realm—
In He Changsong's eyes, she would still be no better than a pig or a dog.
With that thought in mind, Liu Caiyun no longer worried that Gu Youwei would escape from the Cangshan Sword Sect.
Because there was simply no such possibility!
Meanwhile, at the Cangshan Sword Sect.
Gu Youwei had not removed all her clothes.
Instead, she left on a thin gauze garment and sat directly inside the warm wooden tub.
For some reason, from the moment Gu Youwei entered the Cangshan Sword Sect, she had always felt a faint unease in her heart.
So much so that Gu Youwei could not explain why she had this feeling.
