"This little girl is quite loyal to your grandmaster!" Venerable Penglai teased.
Song Xi frowned slightly. "Did the Venerable One deliberately avoid my master and summon me here to speak ill of him?"
"Of course not, I have something to ask you." Venerable Penglai's expression returned to seriousness.
Song Xiwei listened attentively.
"How is Aoqian?" Venerable Penglai paused for a moment before asking.
Song Xi looked at Venerable Penglai with slight surprise.
It wasn't because he mentioned Aoqian, but because when Venerable Penglai spoke of Aoqian, there seemed to be something else in his tone when he mentioned the child.
Song Xiwei tried to catch something, but Venerable Penglai concealed it all without letting her notice. "Is he easy to get along with?"
"Well, he's just a pitiful kid who lost both his parents, has no home, and no support." Song Xiwei wasn't sure what Venerable Penglai meant, but she genuinely wanted to protect Aoqian.
The Venerable Penglai understood Song Xiwei's implication. Instead of being angry with her, he smiled and said, "You truly are the tribulation of the void!"
Song Xiwei frowned slightly. "What calamity?"
Venerable Penglai changed his tune, saying, "It's nothing. Tell me more about that child, Aoqian. What's his temperament like? Is he still bloodthirsty?"
Song Xiwei cautiously replied, "I don't know what he was like before, but he is a very good person now. He helps the weak, saves the common people, and is not bloodthirsty."
If Song Xiwei was cautiously protecting Aoqian just now, then she is now openly showing her strong support for him.
The Venerable Penglai's smile deepened. "You're a good girl, but the path you've chosen is destined to be fraught with difficulties."
"There are countless roads in this world, but you have to walk them one step at a time. It's not so bad to have many difficulties along the way. Only those who have walked the road know how beautiful the scenery is."
Song Xiwei's answer reflected her personal perspective.
Venerable Penglai nodded to her with satisfaction, "You are very good. It is a blessing for Aoqian to have your help."
After saying this, Venerable Penglai handed her a Penglai jade tablet: "Take this; it will help you in crucial moments in the future."
Song Xi looked at Venerable Penglai with slight surprise, thinking that no one in the Six Realms could tolerate Ao Qian.
Unexpectedly, Venerable Penglai was willing to help them.
“Take it; you’ll find it useful,” said Venerable Penglai.
Sister Song Xiwei passed the Penglai Jade Tablet and bowed gratefully, saying, "Thank you, Venerable One."
"Don't tell your grandmaster about this," Venerable Penglai added.
Song Xiwei was puzzled. Her master also wanted her to influence Aoqian, and her master had no ill intentions towards Aoqian. However, since Venerable Penglai had spoken, she would definitely respect his wishes.
“Understood, this is a secret between me and the Venerable One,” Song Xiwei said.
"Well, I'll also give you a Penglai Herb Pill. I see your body is in disarray; you must have suffered a severe injury not long ago and haven't fully recovered yet, right? Your grandmaster used an extreme method, only allowing you to recover temporarily within your sect. Although he had his reasons, the sky's the limit, and you shouldn't have your wings clipped and be confined to a small place. This Herb Pill of mine can help you."
The elixir from the Venerable of Penglai completely solved Song Xiwei's urgent problem.
She took it on the spot. She had been worried that she would lose her power again after leaving her sect, but now she didn't have to worry anymore.
"Thank you, Venerable One!"
Venerable Penglai said with satisfaction, “The six realms each have their own forces that need to be balanced. There is no absolute good or absolute bad. Right and wrong have never been important. Human life is the most worthless thing. You are different. You are someone who truly values all living beings more than yourself.”
