Yu'er Caused Trouble
The magical ships of the Du'e Temple were even more magnificent than those of the Lingxiao Dao Cult, with three upper decks and seven lower decks. Three masts soared into the sky, and the sails were tightly folded.
The night was deep, and the ship was quite quiet.
Only one-third of the cabins had lights on.
Chang Yujian, though born in the Demon Kingdom, possessed no trace of malevolence, her face adorned with a gentle smile, "Have you found the Liu Fengshu?"
"He's still alive! But that guy is quite mysterious, and I don't know much about him." Anyway, Li Weiyi would never admit that she was Liu Fengshu.
Seeing that Li Weiyi had directly blocked the topic, Chang Yujian stopped asking questions.
Chang Yuqing followed the two of them up the steps. "After Junior Sister Yao returned, she hasn't left the house again and hasn't seen anyone. What exactly happened? The rumors outside are getting worse and worse."
Li Weiyi is already aware of the brutal nature of the struggle over the true transmission of ancient religions.
With Chang Yuqing and Chang Yujian's talents, they are absolutely qualified to compete.
Chang Yujian noticed the unusual expression on Li Weiyi's face and smiled, "Yuqing is not testing our strength, Brother Li, please don't take it to heart. Besides, I am not actually a disciple of the Du'e Temple, but was invited here to oversee the younger generation. This is because, among the Ninth Heaven the Dao Seed Realm in the Du'e Temple, no one can currently rival Sheng Wulian and Si Wuyan."
Li Weiyi secretly admired Chang Yujian's ability to read people's expressions, so he honestly told her, "Miss Chang is exceptionally talented and has a refined and otherworldly beauty. She is definitely a strong contender for the true inheritance. How can I not worry about Yao Yin?"
"Her martial arts talent is indeed commendable, but she's a complete idiot. Otherwise, why would she have barged in at the Commander's Feast that day and questioned Brother Li about his cultivation level?" Chang Yujian said.
Recalling that day, Li Weiyi smiled and said, "Miss Chang is indeed straightforward."
Chang Yuqing frowned deeply. "Brother, how can you be so mean?"
Yao Yin's cabin was located on the third deck of the ship.
After escorting Li Weiyi, Chang Yujian and Chang Yuqing took their leave.
"Knock knock."
Li Weiyi knocked on the door.
On the wooden hatch, ripples of light blue array Light Veil appeared.
After knocking several times without a response, Li Weiyi pressed his finger against the door and transmitted his thoughts inside. "I heard that you have cultivated a state of pure and tranquil self, and have the opportunity to become a true disciple of the Du'e Temple. Does pure and tranquil self mean locking yourself away and constantly escaping reality?"
There has been no response yet.
Li Weiyi then transmitted a message telepathically. "If you don't want to inherit this true legacy, there are plenty of others who do. But so many members of the Jiu Li Tribe see you as their hope for the future. Are you going to give up on yourself?"
"I am speaking these words carefully now through my mind because I know that your status is different now, and you deserve respect and dignity. But even if you become the true successor of the Du'e Temple in the future, or even the abbot of the Du'e Temple, you will still be a hidden person under me, and you must obey the orders of this Hidden Person."
"Hidden Twenty-Six, open the door!"
Three breaths later, Li Weiyi turned and left, intending to go to Yao Qingxuan to find out what was going on.
"Squeak."
The hatch opened, and the array dissipated.
Li Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief.
If Yao Yin continues to be stubborn, there's really no way to deal with her.
Stepping into the cabin, one finds a spacious and elegantly decorated area, furnished with screens, jade tables, calligraphy, paintings, and lamps.
Incense burned on the table, its smoke curling upwards.
The cabin is divided into two layers, an inner and an outer layer, separated by a beaded curtain.
Li Weiyi knew, of course, that many ears and eyes were watching this place on the ship at this moment.
Therefore, without closing the door, he sat on a chair in the outer room.
However, by using a field of mental energy, this space was enveloped, preventing sound from leaking out.
Li Weiyi picked up the open scroll on the table; it was a Daoist scripture. Then she looked behind the beaded curtain. Yao Yin was standing with her back against the wall, so she couldn't see what she looked like at that moment.
"No one is deliberately lying to you; your mother has her own difficulties. If it weren't for her silent sacrifices, the outcome of the battle at Cloud Heaven Immortal Plain would have been unpredictable."
Li Weiyi continued, "She once told me that she had no choice but to die back then. If it weren't for An Xianjing taking her in and protecting her, do you know what would have happened to her? You're already eighteen, still Little Girl? From the day I met you, you've always acted impulsively. If you want to be a true successor, you must first be able to hide your feelings, control your emotions, and distinguish right from wrong..."
Yao Yin said, "I can't tell who you are. I can't even tell who you are, so how can you expect me to distinguish right from wrong? What right do you have to lecture me here? Have you experienced what I have experienced?"
Li Weiyi was silent for a moment. "At least you have a mother. I don't even know who my mother is. I don't even have a single relative. In the Underground Immortal Mansion, it was your mother who protected me, which allowed me to leave the Rice Sect headquarters alive."
"I'm not here to persuade you to forgive her, because she didn't do anything wrong and doesn't need your forgiveness. I'm here because I'm worried about your safety, so I'm telling you some truths you need to know, hoping that after knowing the truth, you'll be able to understand her helplessness."
Behind the wall, Yao Yin's eyes were misty with tears, looking extremely aggrieved.
Li Weiyi took out a Xihe Flower and placed it on the table. "The Flower of Supreme Yang, I've picked it for you! You are my hermit, and if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me, and I will do everything in my power to help you. Today, as the Hidden Person, I'm here to advise you, or rather, to reprimand you, and I'm certainly capable of shouldering the responsibilities of Hidden Person."
"Think it through, then come find me."
Yao Yin's personality is actually very resilient and decisive. She wiped away her tears, combed her hair with her fingers, lifted the beaded curtain, and walked out quickly.
Li Weiyi has already left.
On the table, the Xihe Flower radiates a golden glow, its petals are crystal clear, it blooms beautifully, and exudes a faint fragrance.
In addition, there are two talismans.
A Protective Talisman, a Divine Speed Talisman.
Li Weiyi stepped down from the ship's deck and appeared on the deck. Sensing being watched, he turned and looked towards the top of the ship's deck.
Under the starlight, Fu Wenyan stood by the railing of the third-floor ship, meeting his gaze with a defiant smile, without flinching or dodging.
Behind him stood four young men and women, all dressed in Confucian robes, who had just come out of the room.
The four of them kept their auras restrained, but their eyes were as bright as stars as they looked down at them with a mixture of curiosity and hostility.
Their appearance suggested that Fu Wenyan had deliberately brought them out to introduce them to Li Weiyi.
Li Weiyi smiled and nodded slightly before disembarking and leaving.
"Fu Wenyan didn't reveal the secret that Princess Dengfeng and I stole his <Book of Earth>, which means he still possesses the <Book of Earth>, so he's keeping this secret hidden."
"This person has always coveted the position of true successor. Now that he sees my close relationship with Yao Yin, he must have some schemes up his sleeve. Just now, he deliberately gave me a provocative smile to make me uneasy."
"If we spare his life, Yao Yin will be in constant danger."
Li Weiyi returned to the car and asked Hidden Lord, "It seems that Du'e Temple has invited quite a few outside helpers. What's going on?"
The carriage drove off, heading towards the Jiu Li Hidden Gate stronghold.
The Hidden Lord said, "The influence of the Du'e Temple extends to more than a dozen realms of existence, and many forces have members of their clans who have become disciples of the temple. If you think of the Du'e Temple as the Imperial Court, then these people who have become disciples of the temple are equivalent to officials in the imperial court."
"Now that a significant amount of profit is at stake, and the Du'e Temple lacks leaders below the Longevity Realm, it will naturally invite some young experts to come."
"This is the division of interests among those below the Longevity Realm! The higher-ups have already discussed it, and all martial artists below the Longevity Realm will have to stay outside, while those above the Longevity Realm will be allowed to enter the underground. This is somewhat different from the initial arrangement."
"The top experts below the Longevity Realm in the Lingxiao Shengjing should be meeting soon, and you're definitely among them."
Li Weiyi asked, "What are the cultivation levels of the people who came from the Saints Learning Sea?"
Hidden Lord looked thoughtful and smiled, "You want to make a move against Fu Wenyan?"
Li Weiyi nodded.
Hidden Lord asked, "Because of Hong Ting?"
Li Weiyi rolled his eyes at him. "Having designs on my Fiancée is troublesome, but not a capital offense. After all, Zuoqiu Hongting is not only exceptionally talented but also stunningly beautiful. If someone were to admire such Proud Daughter of Heaven, I would kill them; she would be a scourge to the country and the people, harming both herself and others."
"Fu Wenyan must die because I have a grudge against him in the Old Yuzhou. Moreover, I fear he may be detrimental to Yao Yin ..."
Upon hearing this, Hidden Lord's eyes flashed with cold light. "Then he'd better not leave the East Sea alive."
The interior of the car instantly felt like an ice cave.
In Hidden Lord's view, Li Weiyi will eventually spread his wings and fly high, and Yao Yin and Cangli are the future pillars of the Jiu Li Tribe.
The Hidden Lord said, "Four people below the Longevity Realm of the Saints Learning Sea have been invited here, the weakest of whom is a successor of the Ninth Heaven. I will give you their specific information tomorrow."
"I trust you to handle things. But you must be careful; the opponent is very powerful. As far as I know, Yao Qian has tried to take action against Fu Wenyan before, but both attempts ended in failure."
"Furthermore, the Du'e Temple wants to cultivate Young Son of Heaven of the Ninth Heaven as soon as possible. Not long ago, a Great Longevity collected some Six-clawed Immortal Dragon Qi from the Nine Ring Reef and brought it to Moon Dragon Island, giving it to Fu Wenyan to refine and absorb. His cultivation has definitely improved."
Li Weiyi suddenly realized, "No wonder he looked so confident just now."
The carriage arrived at the Jiu Li Hidden Gate stronghold.
"Greetings, Hidden Lord!"
"Greetings Hidden Person!"
Upon entering, many hermits and hermit elders were alarmed and came forward to pay their respects.
They meditated and cultivated in the courtyard, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Mana Qi.
Yu'er, who had already fallen asleep, heard the noise outside and immediately ran downstairs barefoot, throwing herself into Li Weiyi's arms, crying loudly, "Master, Yu'er has caused trouble! I didn't mean to, I didn't know that Grandmaster and Sister would fight..."
Li Weiyi squatted down to comfort her, "Don't cry, Master doesn't blame Yu'er. Yu'er is just a child. Yu'er didn't know about their conflict... Hidden Twenty-Four, come here. How did you raise the child? It's so late, why isn't Yu'er asleep yet? Why isn't she wearing shoes?"
Hidden Twenty-Four, who had chased downstairs, froze, then gritted her teeth, her eyes darkening. "I am a hermit, not your disciple's maid."
"You dare to talk back? Your sister Yao Yin even dared to lay a hand on her mother, and you didn't stop her? What kind of older sister are you?" Li Weiyi really enjoyed seeing Hidden Twenty-Four's rebellious nature.
I've missed you terribly after not seeing you for two or three years.
I was delayed today, there was really nothing I could do, typing is just too slow.
