At the same time, the elders and disciples of the Holy Sect and Hengyang Sect, who were staying at the same Tianxiang Tower, gathered together for a grand meeting.
“Holy Son, in my opinion, the whereabouts of the treasure must be related to that vile woman. Otherwise, why would she protect her?”
“That’s right. After the spirit exchange that day, that wretch was already a piece of trash. This was witnessed by Sect Master Xia, myself, and Disciple Ye. If she didn’t possess a supreme treasure, I would never believe that anyone would oppose you, Holy Son, for such a piece of trash!”
Another elder said the same thing.
Luo Wuji did not speak, but looked at Xia Wanqing: "Qing'er, I think the direction your senior sister came from was the direction of the cave. At that time, according to your sect elders, the place where the treasure was born was in the cave. In your opinion, is that treasure on your senior sister?"
"Senior Sister?" Xia Wanqing frowned slightly as she looked at Luo Wuji, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt: "Speaking of which, I did see her outside the cave that day."
Luo Wuji's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but quickly dimmed again.
"However, we didn't find her presence after we went in. Besides, she came out so early, perhaps she found out she couldn't get into the cave. Furthermore, if she really had a treasure, the Holy Son and the elders should have discovered it long ago."
"Elder Yang, did you detect the aura of the treasure that day?" Luo Wuji glanced sideways, his eyes sweeping over the two old men behind him, their presence exuding an oppressive aura.
The two old men carefully recalled the events, then shook their heads. Although they hadn't discovered anything, they didn't believe Xia Wanqing's words.
“There are indeed treasures in this world that can conceal their aura. Although we did not discover them that day, we would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.”
Luo Wuji didn't speak, but had an ambiguous smile on his face, clearly indicating that he acquiesced.
Upon seeing this, Xia Wuxin and the elders behind him quickly stated, "Our Hengyang Sect also agrees with Elder Yang and Elder Liu's views."
Upon hearing this, Xia Wanqing glanced at her father and then at Luo Wuji. In fact, Luo Wuji's suggestion wasn't entirely unfounded.
However, if she gets involved in this matter, and if the treasure is not found, and those people are not completely eliminated, and other sects find out, it may leave behind endless troubles.
It affected her Daoist heart.
However, if she wanted to advance further in her cultivation, she had to break through to the Golden Core stage and join the Holy Sect as soon as possible.
What should she choose?
"Qing'er, you don't need to worry. With your talent, you will surely become a supreme being in the future. Why worry about what others think? Besides, don't you want to know who got the treasure that disappeared from the cave?"
Seemingly sensing Xia Wanqing's hesitation, Luo Wuji gave her a push.
Passing on the torch!
Xia Wanqing's eyes changed. After entering the cave, she clearly felt that her spiritual root seemed to have weakened a bit, and after meeting her father and Luo Wuji.
She was increasingly skeptical that the cave was empty, and a strong intuition told her that whether it was spiritual roots or treasures, it might all be related to her useless senior sister.
Although she was the one who caused her senior sister's spiritual root to be damaged, she didn't know it was her senior sister's before, did she? It was her mother who told her that it was just a demon beast. No, her senior sister wasn't human to begin with.
If the inheritance and treasures were truly obtained by her senior sister, she hoped that her senior sister would not be stubborn. After all, the Holy Sect was the number one holy land in the entire Feng Hou Continent. How could a few of them possibly defeat the countless experts of the Holy Sect?
Thinking it over, Xia Wanqing seemed to have made a difficult decision and said, "If the treasure is really in my senior sister's hands, I hope the Holy Son can spare my senior sister's life for my sake. This is something I owe her..."
As she finished speaking, Xia Wanqing's voice became much softer and lower, seemingly filled with endless guilt.
Luo Wuji looked at her with heartache: "I promise you, but, Qing'er, the matter of changing the spirit was a decision made by your father and me. Qing'er, you must not blame yourself or feel guilty anymore. As long as she doesn't oppose me or hurt you, don't worry, I will never make things difficult for her."
"Thank you." Xia Wanqing smiled gratefully, which made Ye Qingyu, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, insanely jealous.
At the same time, Qiyue, who was being pressured, sneezed several times in a row.
Achoo! Achoo! Achoo! Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!
"Ugh, ugh." Rubbing her nose, Qiyue felt uncomfortable all over.
First she thinks, then she curses, then she catches a cold—what's going on? She's cultivating immortality; how can she get sick?
Oh no, it must be because her cultivation level isn't high enough. We have to fight!
Startled, Qiyue quickly resumed her cultivation.
Until the auction begins.
"Junior sister, the auction has begun."
A gentle voice came from outside the door. Qi Yue opened her eyes and felt completely comfortable.
"They're here!"
But happy times are always short-lived. Not far from the auction, Qiyue saw someone she didn't want to see.
Xia Wanqing, along with the main characters.
At this moment, Xia Wanqing was bending over and talking to a child. Only when she got closer did Qiyue see who was talking to Xia Wanqing.
It was Ji Su.
"Hengyang Sect is one of the five major sects, with countless cultivation resources. Mortals who want to join Hengyang Sect must undergo various entrance trials. Even the lowest-ranking disciple in the sect can live a life of comfort and ease in the mortal world. This is an opportunity that ordinary people without spiritual roots can never obtain in their entire lives. Are you really unwilling?"
“I…” Ji Su looked at Xia Wanqing in front of her, her expression somewhat dazed. Qi Yue sensed something was wrong and quickly spoke up.
"Su Su".
The sudden sound interrupted Ji Su's words. The moment he heard Qi Yue's voice, he regained his senses and looked at Qi Yue with eyes like newly risen stars.
"elder sister!"
He called out to Qiyue happily and ran towards her as fast as he could.
Upon seeing this, Xia Wanqing's eyes widened in surprise for a moment before she regained her composure and looked calmly at Qiyue and Ji Su.
