Wei Wanhua's expression froze slightly, and the mocking smile at her lips involuntarily faded.

How could she never have heard that name?
How could she not remember it?
Had it not been for this girl, she would never have incurred the needless enmity of Wei Shao Ping, the Wei Clan's Clan Leader, and fallen out with him.

And when True Lord Zhuojing of the Vermilion Luminescence Sect heard the story of Wei Lingjiang's extraordinary gifts at birth, he had broken off his seclusion and personally descended the mountain to bring her to Lutai Mountain to cultivate.

Had finally dispelled the Wei Clan's Clan Leader Wei Shao's malicious intentions completely, allowing Wei Wanhua to set her heart at ease.
Had she not saved Wei Lingjiang back then.
Had she merely watched coldly from the sidelines...
With Wei Wanhua's descent from the Wei Clan's direct line, whoever held power, whether Wei Shao or another, would have made a point of entrusting her with important duties to win people's allegiance and demonstrate their magnanimity and benevolence.
