The Sect Leader's Daughter

He paused, then continued:

"Recently, I have been studying the recipe for the Soul Awakening Pill given in ancient books. However, the refining process and method of the Soul Awakening Pill are very complicated, and many of the medicinal materials required are not available in our sect. I plan to wait for the sect leader and my master to return and ask them before making a decision."

Until then, we can only maintain the original treatment method for the time being.

"I never imagined that Tong Jialiang's condition was so serious..."

Liu Yunan was somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that Tong Jialiang's condition was probably just a temporary mental breakdown, and with Yigao's treatment and the support of his friend Han Weishu and cousin Bao Baojian, it was only a matter of time before he recovered.

However, the reality was not so optimistic.

Although I had no personal relationship with Tong Jialiang, I felt very sorry and sympathetic seeing him, a perfectly normal person, reduced to this state by persecution.

The two arrived at Lin Xiao's house, Sun Yigao gently knocked on the courtyard gate.

"Is this Mr. Sun?"

A voice Baojian came from inside the courtyard, asking a question.

Before Sun Yigao outside could respond, the courtyard gate was opened from the inside.

Seeing that it was indeed Sun Yigao, he held his Baojian and, with delight on his face, quickly stepped aside to invite him inside:

"Mr. Sun, please come in quickly."

Because Sun Yigao held the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations) and taught in the village, the villagers called him Mr. Sun, and Baojian and the others followed suit.

After Sun Yigao nodded to him and went inside, Baojian noticed that there was someone standing next to Sun Yigao, who usually came alone. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening and smiled:

"It's Young Master Liu's back! Please come in, both of you."

When Liu Yunan and his group were in the capital, Baojian had met Liu Yunan and Qin Jianghe quite a few times because of Mo Yuanjiao, so he was quite familiar with him.

It was late at night, and after so many days, he was suddenly struck by the sight of someone who used to be in the capital city. For a moment, he was in a daze.

The courtyard gate closed, and the three went inside. Sun Yigao then began to treat Tong Jialiang.

Baojian, Han Weishu, and Liu Yunan waited in the main room, not wanting to disturb his treatment.

Han Weishu had interacted with Liu Yunan before because of her rescue mission in Huanyou Nation, and now she knew of the existence of the Lingxian Sect and that he was a member of the Lingxian Sect. Upon seeing him again, she hesitated for a moment before asking:

"Senior Liu, I have a question I'd like to ask..."

Seeing that she seemed a little uncomfortable, Liu Yunan, who was being called 'senior' for the first time, also felt a bit awkward. He quickly said:

"I dare not accept the title of senior. We are about the same age. Miss Han, you can just call me Fellow Daoist Liu. What would you like to ask?"

Seeing that he seemed genuinely reluctant to be addressed as "senior," Han Weishu readily complied and immediately changed her address:

"Then I shall honor you by addressing you as Fellow Daoist Liu."

Without further ado, she immediately asked the question that had been on her mind:

"I heard that Fellow Daoist Liu was in the capital before. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Liu to confirm whether our Pusi Kingdom is going to... whether there is going to be a war?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yunan looked at her with some surprise.

He was puzzled. The imperial court had only recently decided to attack Huanyou Nation and contacted the three major sects to discuss the matter. How did this person know about this news?

He didn't answer whether it was true or false, but instead asked her in a normal tone:

"Where did Miss Han get this news from?"

Han Weishu hesitated, subconsciously biting her lip, and after a long while, she finally spoke:

"My father is Han Shangyi, the leader of the Clear River Sect."

Liu Yunan was somewhat surprised to hear this news.

Although he knew that Han Weishu was from the Clear River Sect, he assumed she was a newly initiated disciple because her cultivation level was only at the Qi Refining First Layer.

I never expected her to be the sect leader's daughter.

It's no wonder they knew about such an important matter.

However, given the gravity of the matter, Liu Yunan felt it best not to reveal it aloud. Therefore, he still didn't give Han Weishu a direct answer, only saying:

"This is not something we should be discussing. If you know anything, just keep it to yourself. Whether it's true or not, we'll find out later."

Hearing his answer, Han Weishu knew that it must be true.

In fact, the reason she knew this news was not because, as she deliberately misled Liu Yunan into believing, it was a message passed on to her by her sect leader father.

Instead, she sent her Earth Spirit Qiuqiu back to the Clear River Sect to eavesdrop.

Although she harbored deep resentment towards her father, Han Shangyi, and loathed his disdain and harsh discipline, she still secretly hoped that he would pay more attention to her.

Like this time, running away from home, encountering such misfortune on the road, and then his friend being persecuted and ending up in the state he is in now.

She had also fantasized that if her father had discovered she wasn't at the mountain gate in time and had immediately come out to look for her, would the villains who had gone to the mountain stronghold to capture people have been executed on the spot by her father who was looking for her?

If that were the case, A-Liang wouldn't have become like this.

Alternatively, if her father could appear while she was following those people, he could stop the kidnappers in time and prevent the tragedy from happening.

However, in reality, her father has not come looking for her until now.

For a sect leader, Nascent Soul Cultivator, finding an ordinary person in this Mortal Realm would be incredibly easy.

She didn't even try to hide her tracks.

Han Weishu felt both sad and indignant.

She wanted to know what her father was busy with, that he hadn't made a sound even after his own daughter had been missing for so many days.

So she sent the Earth Spirit Qiuqiu back to the Clear River Sect to find her father.

Unexpectedly, the imperial court sent a letter to various sects explaining the purpose and reasons for attacking Huanyou Nation, and the leader and elders of the Clear River Sect discussed the matter in the council hall.

After hearing the gist of the story, Han Weishu knew that their country was going to eradicate the royal family of Huanyou Nation and the sects that were aiding and abetting them.

After learning about this, she, who had been secretly blaming her father for not coming to find her and acting like a typical little girl, began to worry about his safety.

Although his father is Nascent Soul Cultivator, he won't easily get into trouble.

But the targets they are targeting also include Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Even now that she knows and has verified it, there's still nothing she can do.

She couldn't be of any help in this matter.

If only her cultivation level were higher, she could at least fight alongside the Clear River Sect as a cultivator.

With her current cultivation level, only at the Qi Refining First Layer, she's only slightly stronger than an ordinary person. Against a true cultivator, she's just cannon fodder.

After the Execution Stone incident, and now, aside from relying on the Earth Spirit to get some information, there's nothing she can do about these matters except observe from the sidelines and hide in the background.

At this moment, Han Weishu seemed to finally understand why her father always wanted her to focus on cultivation and was always furious at her lazy attitude.
