In her past life, her genius elder sister drained her heart's blood to treat a supposed heart ailment. Her most trusted relatives did not plead for her or mourn her death; they even sold her co...
Cheng Yunyun would certainly not leave the Wanmiao Sect, and the Wanmiao Sect would not be willing to lose a Nascent Soul cultivator unless absolutely necessary.
Suwei Daojun said this merely to remind Cheng Yunyun that what she called a private matter was not a private matter at all, but would affect the relationship between the two forces.
Of course, there was another reason, which was naturally to show Chunyu Changfeng that this was indeed not Wanmiaozong's original intention.
Unfortunately, more than watching the two perform their seemingly genuine act, Chunyu Changfeng was clearly more concerned about where Liu Yunqing had gone.
And whether she can make it in time when the Flowing Abyss Secret Realm opens.
So when Cheng Yunyun and Suwei Daojun finished arguing and turned around to look, Chunyu Changfeng had already disappeared without a trace.
"Senior Sister Suwei, do you, like everyone else, think that the ancestor's prediction of the chosen one is unreliable?"
Daoist Suwei frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Yunyun, saying:
“The ancestor’s judgment must have some basis, and I naturally have no reason not to believe it.”
"The patriarchs of other sects in the Sun Realm have shown exceptional leniency and protection towards the Daughter of Heavenly Fortune, which clearly indicates that this matter is indeed true."
"But in recent years, because of Liu Yunqing's matter, you two have been acting too unscrupulously."
"Although no true patriarch has spoken yet, it is clear that someone is dissatisfied behind the scenes. You should take care of yourselves."
Knowing that he had also made himself disliked by others, Daoist Suwei refused to linger in Luoxia City after saying this and turned to leave.
Cheng Yunyun turned her head to look in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, clenched her fist unwillingly, and finally stomped her foot and disappeared.
If that really is Liu Yunqing, she doesn't believe there won't be a time when she'll be exposed!
Those who are concerned about Liu Yunqing's affairs are not only Chunyu Changfeng of Luoxia City, but also Cheng Yunyun and her disciples of Wanmiao Sect.
It wasn't just Feng Piaopiao and his master, or Wenxi Daojun of the Taixuan Sect, but also Venerable Xian'en of the Fanyin Temple.
He twirled the prayer beads in his hand one by one, silently reciting scriptures, his compassionate and solemn face tinged with sorrow between his brows.
"Master, you were looking for me?"
Wuchen bowed and walked behind Venerable Xian'en, asking respectfully.
Venerable Xian'en slowly opened his eyes, stopped turning the prayer beads in his hand, and looked at Wuchen, saying:
"Where's the rosary I gave you?"
Wuchen was stunned for a moment before he realized that the string of prayer beads that his master asked about must be the one given to Liu Yunqing.
"I gave that string of prayer beads to Benefactor Yunqing several years ago, and I don't know if it has been damaged."
Venerable Xian'en frowned even more deeply, remaining silent while his hands continued to make calculations.
Just as Wuchen was about to ask if something had happened to Yunqing, he saw his master, who was making hand seals, turn red, suddenly lean forward, and spit out a mouthful of blood. His hand, which was making the hand seals, was trembling uncontrollably.
"Master!"
Wuchen was greatly alarmed; the calm and composed expression on his face was quickly replaced by panic.
But that's normal. What is a Nascent Soul cultivator that could possibly make someone vomit blood?
"Master, what exactly are you calculating? Why is it taking so much effort?"
Venerable Xian'en waved his hand, using Wuchen's strength to sit back down, and suppressed his surging blood and qi. Before Wuchen could ask any more questions, he turned to him and said:
"Go into the secret realm within the secret realm of Liuyuan Secret Realm, suppressing your cultivation level."
"Find Liu Yunqing, and then protect her as she leaves the secret realm."
Wuchen frowned, but still couldn't help asking:
"Was Master just calculating Yun Qing's fate? Why is Master always paying attention to her? Is she in some danger?"
Hearing his usually taciturn disciple ask three questions in quick succession, Venerable Xian'en did not answer them directly, but instead said again:
“I’ve said it before, she is a blessing in disguise for you. As long as she is well, you will always have a chance.”
Seeing that Wuchen was about to speak, Venerable Xian'en raised his hand to stop him and continued:
"I have only one wish in this life: that you break out of this predicament, and she is the key to that breakthrough."
As he spoke, Venerable Xian'en reached out and touched Wuchen's brow. Wuchen swallowed back the words he was about to say.
"Go, but come to me before you set off for the Flowing Abyss Secret Realm."
Wuchen knew from a young age that his master had been calculating something, but his master never told him, only saying that heavenly secrets should not be revealed.
He is only instructed to do something when he needs to do it.
For example, rescuing Liu Yunqing, teaming up with Liu Yunqing in the hunting competition, and this time in the Liuyuan Secret Realm.
If Liu Yunqing weren't a disciple of the Brahma Temple, and if Wuchen hadn't genuinely felt his master's care for him, he would almost suspect that he was merely a tool to help Liu Yunqing grow.
However, Liu Yunqing is also a very remarkable woman.
During the limited time they spent together, Wuchen spent most of it observing.
He didn't understand his master's intentions, nor did he understand the absolute trust and reliance that Liu Yunqing showed him.
There are also those who appear strong and aloof in front of others, preferring to strike first, but act respectful and obedient in front of you, as if they were treating an elder they admire.
The thought of the word "elders" made Wuchen frown, feeling quite awkward.
A cultivator's seniority is never based on age, but on cultivation level. With Liu Yunqing's demonstrated talent and extraordinary luck, catching up with him would be a piece of cake.
Why would I need to help someone like that?
But the things that Master spent so much effort to calculate must have their purpose, so even though Wuchen had doubts, he did as he was told.
Cultivating immortality requires constant attention, and naturally, there are no idle people either.
However, after a while, no one paid attention to Liu Yunqing anymore, and even Liu Yunzhao was not always the focus of attention.
It was only mentioned from time to time among the cultivators who knew some of the surface details.
The ones who mentioned it most were naturally the more knowledgeable and privileged peers.
"Do you think Liu Yunzhao is really crippled?"
"So what if she's crippled? She's just given the title of 'Daughter of Heavenly Fortune,' she hasn't actually done anything for the Sun Realm, so why can't she be crippled?"
"What do you know? You're still jealous of her good treatment at a time like this? What if she really becomes useless and the Great Calamity of the Sun comes?"
"Stop exaggerating! I don't believe that with so many powerful seniors in the Sun Realm, we have to rely on Liu Yunzhao alone?"
"Of course we have to rely on her, otherwise what do you think the Daughter of Heaven is? Why do those senior and powerful figures also tacitly agree to it?"
"It was fine before, but in recent years, if we're talking about the most fortunate woman, she's not even as good as Liu Yunqing, who seriously injured her!"
"Tch! What good are outstanding abilities if a wicked thief has bad character?"
Opinions on Liu Yunzhao are divided, but anyone who praises Liu Yunqing immediately faces a sour rebuttal.
Someone nearby couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to say something, but then a disciple of the Myriad Wonders Sect slowly spoke up:
"What this fellow Daoist is right is true. No matter what, the title of the Daughter of Heaven's Fortune will never fall on Liu Yunqing's head."
"As for our Senior Sister Yun Zhao, her minor injuries have long since healed; she's just using this as an excuse to cultivate in seclusion."
"Those rumors about being on the verge of death are nothing more than misinformation spread by people with ulterior motives."
