Chapter 682 It’s too early to speak!
Speaking of Ye Wanxi's master, he was quite an extraordinary person, or rather, an oddball.
There's a saying in traditional cultivation: "Don't bite off more than you can chew." This means that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and before you start cultivating, you should first determine the path you want to follow.
Just like how students are divided into subjects before the college entrance examination, some people are suited to weapon crafting, some to alchemy, and others to swordsmanship. They are all different and each has their own strengths.
Specializing in one thing can lead to success, but if you are greedy and want to do everything at once, it may backfire and result in mediocrity.
Master Ye Wanxi was an exception; he learned everything and did it all quite well.
Even the total number of disciples he has taken in is less than the number of disciples taken in a batch by his other senior uncles and senior brothers, but the disciples they learn are all very different and varied.
If this were a more ordinary teacher, it would indeed be suspected of misleading students.
Qi Yao touched her nose, feeling slightly guilty, and said, "It really wasn't me who led you there. It's just that everything in this world is predestined. Our karmic ties are not yet severed, and there will definitely be a thread in the dark that will connect us together."
At this point, Qi Yao grasped Ye Wanxi's hand and said solemnly, "I already know about what happened to my disciples and grand-disciples. If it weren't for you and the help of my senior brothers, they definitely wouldn't have been able to overcome this difficulty so smoothly. Thank you all."
Ye Wanxi chuckled and said, "Oh, what's there to thank? Since they are your disciples and grand-disciples, they are also disciples and grand-disciples of our sect. To put it bluntly, they might even have to call me and my senior brothers 'Grandmaster.' It's only right that we protect them."
Recalling the "courtesy" they received when they visited the village before, Ye Wanxi joked, "I just hope that next time we go, they won't treat us like thieves."
"They wouldn't dare!" Qi Yao's face darkened, and she said angrily, "If they dare to do such a despicable thing, I'll smash their heads with a memorial tablet!"
"Pfft..." Ye Wanxi and the others had already guessed that the Wu family members had been hit on the head by the ancestral tablets, and now it seems that it really was the work of this ancestor!
"Speaking of which, what are you planning to do with that memorial tablet?"
Ye Wanxi surmised that the missing soul and spirit of Qi Yao after her reincarnation should be on the memorial tablet enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Now that her soul has returned to its place, it's unclear whether it's because the memorial tablet was broken or because the calamities of her disciples and grand-disciples have passed, which put her at ease, and thus she returned to her original body.
But regardless, she has now been given a new lease on life, so isn't that memorial tablet a bit...
Qi Yao didn't care about this at all, and waved her hand magnanimously, saying, "What do you mean by how to deal with it? What's there to deal with? That's a memorial tablet that my disciples and grand-disciples made for me. It's not like I stole it or robbed it. What? Who says that I can't accept offerings from my disciples and grand-disciples after I've been reincarnated? I was foolish for more than twenty years in this life to protect them. Is it too much to accept a little offering from them now?"
"...Not excessive." To come to such a conclusion, one would say she truly lives up to her reputation as Senior Sister Qi Yao.
However, since she herself doesn't care or have any taboos about it, Ye Wanxi has even less to say. She only hopes that some people won't be frightened when they meet their ancestors in the future.
"By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you, senior sister."
"What is it? Ask away."
"It's about Senior Sister Yunke."
"Senior Sister? What happened to her? You've already met her, how is she now?"
"She's doing well now, she's... my second senior brother's fiancée."
Qi Yao was stunned, then couldn't help but laugh: "These two are really reincarnated and still together, they can be considered a pair of lovebirds."
"But the key thing is, Senior Sister Yunke seems to have no memories of her past life. My senior brothers and you all have memories, but she..."
Qi Yao stroked her chin and pondered for a moment: "This is indeed a bit strange."
In their previous lives, they had made a pact to be reincarnated into the world, and they had already made preparations in advance. All they needed to do was trigger a certain condition, and their memories would gradually return.
Yun Ke's memories haven't returned, possibly because...
"Perhaps she simply doesn't want to remember it."
"You don't want to?"
"Yun Ke and your second senior brother are engaged now, their relationship should be pretty good, right?"
Ye Wanxi felt a little awkward, then chuckled and said, "Well, their relationship is alright right now. But, their engagement is actually... a business marriage."
"A business marriage?"
"It's like two equally matched companies joining forces through a marriage, taking things a step further. It's like how some gangs arranged marriages in the past."
“I see, so the two of them now…” Qi Yao held up two thumbs and waved them to the left and right.
Ye Wanxi immediately understood her meaning, her face slightly flushed as she said, "Not yet. In fact, many business marriages in this world only involve money and not feelings; they're just partnerships. That's what both families planned from the beginning. But my second senior brother suddenly regained his memories..."
"So, he wants to start a relationship?"
Ye Wanxi nodded hurriedly: "If it were anyone else, it would be fine. My second senior brother would definitely have broken off the engagement without saying a word. But the marriage partner just happens to be Senior Sister Yun Ke. My second brother changed his mind immediately and started pursuing her instead."
"Then I'm afraid they haven't caught up yet."
"Um."
"That's right."
"???"
Qi Yao chuckled: "Don't let Senior Sister's appearance fool you, she's always been plotting something. I bet she did it on purpose, deliberately sealing her memories to see if your Second Senior Brother would go after her memories return and pursue her."
"In short, it's a test. It's a test to see if your second senior brother will choose to forget her or take the initiative to find her after he is reincarnated. It's also a test to see if he will give up or insist on continuing the relationship when faced with his past life without his memories of himself."
Ye Wanxi was shocked by Qi Yao's analysis, but she quickly grasped the key point: "According to your logic, it is possible that Senior Sister Yunke has regained her memories."
"There's a high chance that once your second senior brother catches up with the person, he'll naturally regain his memories."
Ye Wanxi's eyes brightened slightly: "That's wonderful."
Although the two of them are doing well now and are very good to her, they all remember, but she is completely unaware, which still makes her feel a little regretful.
"Don't worry, your senior sister Yunke always has her reasons for doing things." Qi Yao seemed to have thought of something and said a little embarrassedly, "Since you're here, can you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help is needed? I'll definitely help if it's within my power."
"Get me some poisonous insects and herbs."
Ye Wanxi: "..." I spoke too soon!
