Chapter 126 Impersonation
Now, seeing his junior sister, whose cultivation level was originally lower than his, surpass him by such a large margin, and considering that his talent was not bad either, but he was now so far behind, Han Chuan felt a little regretful.
But then he reassured himself that she was his junior sister, and she had even saved his life. He couldn't just watch her cough up blood every day and be unable to cultivate. Anyway, it was only two minor realms, and with his talent, he could quickly recover.
Jiang Ming also complained that Han Chuan had pulled him back, "After so many years of sibling affection, she can't wait to change her attitude as soon as she advances to the Nascent Soul stage? Junior Sister was right, Yun Xi..."
Han Chuan quickly stopped Jiang Ming, "Alright, junior brother, watch your words! In the Yunlan Continent, the strong are respected. Cultivators value cultivation level. Since her cultivation level is a whole realm higher than ours, we should call her 'Shishu' according to etiquette."
“But…” Jiang Ming still felt uncomfortable.
"No buts, blame it on us for not working hard enough and being overtaken by our junior sister."
Seeing that the topic was about to shift to the fact that the cultivation they had been given had caused their cultivation to regress, Qin Yan quickly spoke up to change the subject: "Senior brother, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me..."
"Yan'er, don't overthink it. This isn't your fault. You were so badly injured back then," Jiang Ming quickly comforted Qin Yan.
Qin Yan was displeased to see that Han Chuan didn't comfort her immediately like Jiang Ming had. Her mind raced, and she quickly launched into a series of questions:
"Didn't my senior sister—oh no, I mean my martial aunt—say that there was no Nascent Soul Grass? Did she not use Nascent Soul Grass when she broke through? And why didn't she go back to the sect to break through?"
Upon hearing Qin Yan's words, Han Chuan, who had initially felt a slight resentment towards Qin Yan, also began to wonder if Yun Xi had deliberately hidden her back then.
Qin Yan did want the two of them to think in that direction, but Han Chuan was more cautious and did not answer Qin Yan's question.
Jiang Ming, being impulsive, immediately shouted, "It must be that Yunxi didn't want to use it to heal you. In her heart, cultivation is the most important thing. She deliberately saved it for her own breakthrough, and she even broke through outside to avoid being discovered!"
Han Chuan frowned. "Junior brother! When are you going to change your outspoken nature? Is this something you can just blurt out based on guesses? Alright, regardless of the fact that their cultivation is higher than ours now, let's not bring up the past again without evidence."
After saying that, Han Chuan took the lead and flew towards his cave on his sword.
Qin Yan watched with a cold face as Han Chuan didn't explain his whereabouts to her before leaving as usual, and felt somewhat uneasy.
However, seeing that Jiang Ming still put her first as always, she felt a little better.
Yunxi, who left, was completely unaware of what had happened here. She just felt that she could no longer let Qin Yan continue to act recklessly. She could even come up with such a terrible idea as channeling cultivation energy. Let alone the fact that Qin Yan's injury was a lie, even if it were real, she would be fine after a year or two of rest.
Can't cultivators even wait two years? You know, when you're channeling your cultivation, both sides could get injured if you're not careful. At best, it'll just be a regression in cultivation and some bone and muscle damage for a while. At worst, it could damage your soul. Yunxi really doesn't know what those idiots are thinking.
Soon, Yunxi found out that they could do even more outrageous things. She didn't think Qin Yan was that skilled, so how could this group of people be acting like madmen?
"The Nascent Soul Ceremony has been postponed. Will we wait until Qin Yan completes her Nascent Soul ceremony so that we can have double happiness?" Yun Xi looked expressionlessly at the little steward who came to inform her.
The masters didn't dare to come and say anything themselves, probably because they knew how outrageous this was.
"I understand, you can go back now." After sending the junior steward away, Yunxi went straight to Elder Hu. Elder Hu was the elder of the Hall of Ceremonies, in charge of the overall arrangement of all the trivial matters in the sect. The Mission Hall was also under Elder Hu's supervision, and there were several stewards under him.
The person who just informed Yunxi was an ordinary steward from the Mission Hall.
Elder Hu happened to be handling affairs in the Hall of Ceremonies. He was surprised to see Yun Xi. “Yun Xi, you are now a Nascent Soul cultivator. Why do you have to come all the way here in person for something important? Why not just have your disciples run errands for you, or just give us a message talisman?”
Seeing that Elder Hu's expression was normal, and that he really couldn't guess the purpose of her visit, Yunxi went straight to the point and told him about the Nascent Soul Ceremony.
Elder Hu immediately retorted, "Isn't this your idea? Your master said you just broke through and your cultivation level isn't stable yet, so he plans to go into seclusion to consolidate it before holding the grand ceremony later. Compared to the grand ceremony, your cultivation is definitely more important, so..."
Yunxi was genuinely amused and exasperated this time, so her master planned to keep it a secret from both sides.
She didn't intend to cover for her master and directly said that she had only just received the notification, emphasizing the word "notification".
Elder Hu realized that things were getting complicated. Not wanting to offend anyone, he simply told Yunxi that he would report to the sect leader and let the sect leader make the decision.
Yunxi was worried that her father was also one of those who came up with bad ideas, and disagreed with resolving the matter secretly. "I demand that this matter be resolved publicly, and that the other elders be invited."
Yunxi's so-called public disclosure was not to the entire sect, but rather for the sect's higher-ups to discuss it.
"Yunxi didn't want to disturb the other elders' cultivation, but I suspect that someone impersonated me, or impersonated my master, to convey the message that I wanted to postpone the closing ceremony."
Whether I hold this grand ceremony or not is a minor matter. My real fear is that demons might infiltrate again, and I wonder if they have some ulterior motive for postponing my Nascent Soul Ceremony.
Yunxi knew that even if she had reached the Nascent Soul stage, there were still powerful figures at the Deity Transformation stage above her, and many seniors at the late Nascent Soul stage within the sect. Therefore, it would be making a mountain out of a molehill to alarm the sect's higher-ups just for her Nascent Soul Ceremony.
So she simply muddied the waters, exaggerated the problem, and escalated the situation, turning her own issue into a matter for the entire sect.
Elder Hu was initially displeased when he heard Yunxi say she was going to invite the other elders, thinking she was getting carried away. However, after listening to Yunxi's analysis, he realized the seriousness of the situation and didn't dare delay, so he quickly notified the elders of each hall.
Yunxi also suggested that, since they didn't know if their master was being impersonated, Elder Hu should not notify him yet, but wait until all the other elders had arrived before calling for help. In case it really was someone impersonating him, since they could impersonate a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, their cultivation level must be quite high. It would be safer to have the other elders present.
Elder Hu praised Yunxi for her thorough consideration and agreed.
However, Yunxi's words reminded him that it was very likely that the Yunxi in front of him was also being impersonated, or that someone was impersonating Yunxi but was not here now. Therefore, he suggested that Yunxi not leave yet and wait with her for the other elders to arrive.
Yunxi guessed Elder Hu's concerns and readily agreed.
