Song Xiwei was quite surprised that the Venerable of Penglai would evaluate her in this way.
"You flatter me, Your Excellency. I have only done my best," Song Xiwei said modestly.
Venerable Penglai added, “Once you have recovered, go and reunite with that child as soon as possible. Only you can keep him in check.”
Before Song Xiwei could say anything more, Venerable Penglai had already withdrawn his domain and vanished without a trace.
Song Xiwei was still reviewing the conversation between Venerable Penglai and herself.
The Venerable Penglai, before leaving, mentioned reuniting himself with that child, naturally referring to Aoqian.
He seemed familiar with his relationship with Aoqian, otherwise he wouldn't have concluded that he could keep Aoqian in check.
Song Xiwei didn't want to go back and face the void immediately.
There was a strange feeling that something was blocking the gap between the two of them.
When Song Xiwei was about to go find Xiao Zhuang, she ran into Senior Brother Baihui. It was such a coincidence. Senior Brother Baihui's main job was to contact various immortal sects and families. He was always the person in the sect who knew the most about all kinds of things.
"Brother Baihui, are you busy? Can we chat for a bit?" Song Xiwei wanted to inquire about Venerable Penglai.
More than anything, I'd like to know about Wanwan, who's by the side of Venerable Penglai.
Since Senior Brother Baihui happened to have some time, he and Song Xiwei went to a quiet place. The two drank tea and chatted: "What does Junior Sister want to ask?"
"Does Senior Brother know the woman named Wanwan who is by the side of Venerable Penglai?" Song Xiwei went straight to the point.
Baihui looked at Song Xiwei in surprise, "Junior sister suddenly asked about this person. Have you seen her? That shouldn't be the case. That Venerable One keeps a very close watch on her. There are very few people in Penglai who have even seen that young lady's face."
Baihui's words made Song Xiwei even more certain that Wanwan's identity was extraordinary.
"Senior brother, could you tell me all the details about Wanwan?" Song Xiwei asked hurriedly.
Baihui looked at Song Xiwei with suspicion, "Since Junior Sister knows about that girl's existence, it's probably because Grandmaster mentioned her to you, right? Actually, if you asked Grandmaster, he would definitely tell you, and he knows more than I do..."
"Senior brother, please tell me first. Our grandmaster has been busy lately, and I don't want to bother him too much," Song Xiwei said.
Baihui said, "I know very little. I only heard that Venerable Penglai suffered a severe injury to his divine consciousness a few months ago, and it was that Wanwan who helped him repair it."
“Both Venerable Penglai and Grandmaster are highly accomplished individuals who have lived for tens of thousands of years. To be able to severely injure Venerable Penglai, one must be no ordinary person. Therefore, Wanwan, who can repair Venerable Penglai’s consciousness, must also be extraordinary. Do you know Wanwan’s background?” Song Xiwei asked hurriedly.
Bai Hui said, "There are rumors that Wanwan comes from the Demon Clan and is an ominous person. At that time, the Demon Clan was undergoing a period of change and was beset by internal and external troubles. When Wanwan was brought back to Penglai, it is said that all the Penglai disciples and the Heavenly Court opposed it. The Venerable of Penglai was so angry that he seriously injured several Heavenly Court officials and imprisoned several sect disciples in the dungeon to forcibly suppress the rumors. Later, as time went on, everyone had to keep quiet about Wanwan..."
Seeing that Song Xiwei remained silent, Baihui looked around and cautiously said, "Everyone is saying that when Venerable Penglai was seriously injured, he was bewitched by that woman and had his soul taken away. Otherwise, he would never have done such a thing. Now, the six realms seem to be in balance on the surface, but in fact, each has its own internal troubles."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Baihui had to go about his business and said goodbye to Song Xiwei. Song Xiwei then pondered the conversation she had with Baihui on her own.
Did Wanwan really deceive Venerable Penglai as Baihui claimed?
