Chapter 107. Meng Ting'er, Meng Chiwan. ...
Meng Chiwan had never heard of Wei Jiyu being able to enter Yuanshan Tower, and she didn't understand why Wei Jiyu was allowed to enter Yuanshan Tower.
If it's about cultivation level, her current cultivation level surpasses his.
Then there's only one reason: Weijia.
With the backing of the Wei family, the most prominent family in the world, and being one of the best among the new generation of the Wei family, Wei Jiyu is naturally qualified to enter Yuanshan Tower.
Thinking of this, Meng Chiwan hurriedly said goodbye to Wen Liansong and went to find Wei Jiyu without stopping. On the way, she kept thinking about how to persuade Wei Jiyu to help her.
She was not satisfied with any of the many reasons she came up with.
So when she stood anxiously in front of Wei Jiyu, who had just returned from the foot of the mountain, and told him about her difficulties, she was stunned when Wei Jiyu nodded without hesitation.
Huh? You agreed just like that?
Meng Chiwan: "Won't you reconsider?"
Seeing her expression, Wei Jiyu couldn't help but laugh, her eyes crinkling: "Why should I consider it? Chi Wan has already spoken, so of course I should agree."
Hearing his words, Meng Chiwan felt a little embarrassed, since she hadn't even told him the truth, such as what she was going to do at Yuanshan Tower or what she was looking for.
But Wei Jiyu noticed her expression and saw that she was hesitant to speak. He then said, "If you have some difficulties and don't want to talk about them, that's fine. It's just going to Yuanshan Tower. It's nothing serious. It's just an ordinary place. If you go, you might regret it."
Judging from his tone, Yuanshan Tower didn't seem to be anything special. However, even so, she still wanted to go in and see for herself.
...
At the beginning of the month, at Yuanshan Tower.
Meng Chiwan sat in the chair, head bowed, eyes slightly narrowed, listening to the Alliance Leader's remarks about the situation between immortals and demons, as well as his views on the recent frequent unusual movements of the demon race.
At first, she listened attentively under the watchful eye of Venerable Fuyue, but later she began to frequently look out the window, filled with impatience.
According to Wei Jiyu, he acted as her guarantor, and after much discussion, the leader of the alliance finally brought her into Yuanshan Tower.
Meng Chiwan always felt that it wasn't that simple, but no matter how she asked Wei Jiyu, he wouldn't tell her.
Fortunately, I got in, which is a good start. As for the favors I owe, I can only repay them slowly later.
"Chi Wan, what are your thoughts on the Demon Clan's behavior these past few days, and how do you think it should be resolved?"
She was just thinking about how to sneak out and find out about her mother when she heard her own name called.
She finally looked up and saw the leader of the alliance staring at her, his usually kind face now showing a hint of seriousness.
She wondered if he had noticed her moment of distraction.
"This disciple believes that we should take action to formally encircle and annihilate them. The demons have been making frequent moves recently, which is nothing more than the return of the Demon Lord, which has greatly boosted their morale. However, according to my guess, the Demon Lord's strength has not recovered, and he should not be able to revive the demons' former glory as the demon people think. At this moment, our Immortal Alliance should naturally set an example and crush the demons' morale." Meng Chiwan spoke thoughtfully, not entirely ignoring what was being said.
Upon hearing this, the alliance leader pondered for a moment, then nodded, looking at her with a hint of satisfaction and pleasure, clearly pleased with her answer.
Next, the Venerable Ones reported on the current situation of the peaks under their respective jurisdictions. Even Wei Jiyu spoke in a seemingly serious manner about the future alliance between the Wei family and the Immortal Alliance and their plans to continue maintaining it.
Meng Chiwan almost fell asleep as she listened. She finally understood what Wei Jiyu meant when he said, "If you go, you'll probably regret it."
How boring. She suddenly remembered the sea of flowers she had seen when she came in.
"Then how about Chi Wan leads her disciples to the entrance of the Demon Realm to carry out the encirclement and annihilation?"
Before the sea of flowers could fully form in her mind, she heard those words.
Meng Chiwan looked up and met the kind eyes of the Immortal Alliance Leader. Those eyes were fixed on her, and she felt as if the wrinkles on his cheeks were smiling with satisfaction.
Meng Chiwan: ?
How did I end up giving her a job out of nowhere?
Meng Chiwan was about to speak.
The alliance leader then spoke again: "This meeting has been going on for a long time, and everyone must be tired. Let's decide on this and not say anything more."
Meng Chiwan looked up, forced back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Okay. I knew I shouldn't have come.
Fortunately, after finishing the task, the leader left, allowing her, who was visiting for the first time, to have a good look around Yuanshan Tower.
It wasn't a complete loss.
As its name suggests, Yuanshanlou is just a building with a main hall and several rooms. Judging from the carvings and decorations, it must be quite old.
The meeting place was one of the rooms. The room was large and empty, with only a few tables and chairs, and then teacups and snacks.
Meng Chiwan then went to check the remaining rooms, which were all open, but most of them were empty, with no furniture whatsoever.
There was only one exception.
There was a bed in that room. But there were no bedding on it, and it was dusty and grimy. Meng Chiwan felt that the room must have been uninhabited for a long time.
She only took a quick look before stepping back to close the door.
But the next second, she stopped moving.
On the half-open windowsill, there was a pot of flowers.
The flower stems are like frost and jade, translucent like a pale moon.
It felt somewhat cold and desolate in the empty room.
It is a moonflower.
It is also Meng Ting'er's favorite flower.
It's not a common item, and it looks rather strange to place it in such an empty room.
Meng Chiwan arrived at the Moon-Shining Flower almost instantly and began to look around the empty room.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the window frames also featured the pattern of moonflowers, the carvings beside the bed were also moonflowers, and even the bed curtains were moonflowers... The traces of moonflowers were almost everywhere in the room.
The bed isn't what makes this room different from the others; the real difference lies here.
Even so, it cannot be definitively concluded that this place is related to Meng Ting'er.
But she couldn't stay there too long, or it would arouse suspicion. A short while later, she came out of the room.
"What is Chi Wan doing in there?" the Immortal Alliance leader asked with a smile, not looking into the room, but only at her.
Meng Chiwan hadn't seen him at first, but when he spoke, she looked to the side and her heart skipped a beat.
She tried to sound casual and said, "Didn't you tell me to take a good look around this place?"
The leader of the Immortal Alliance smiled and nodded, seemingly without any doubt: "Oh right, that's true."
Seeing this, Meng Chiwan slowly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly relieved that she had gotten away with it.
But before she could fully exhale, the voice said again, "It's fine for Chi Wan to take a stroll, but why did you touch that flower? Does Chi Wan recognize that flower?"
Meng Chiwan's body was somewhat stiff, but she tried her best to relax and make herself look less tense.
“I recognize the moonflower, it’s beautiful.” Meng Chiwan’s voice was so calm that there was not a trace of tremor.
The leader of the Immortal Alliance still looked kind and gentle, but for some reason, Meng Chiwan suddenly felt a little afraid to look him in the eye.
He didn't look into the room, paused for a moment, and said, "If you like it, then appreciate it."
Meng Chiwan's heart leaped into her throat at his words, and she unconsciously clenched her fist.
His next question was, as expected, "Why steal it?"
Meng Chiwan tightened her clenched fist again, her knuckles turning white.
She took the flower out of her storage bag, held it in her hands, and said, "I was just about to ask you for it when you found out. Alliance Leader, I really like this flower, may I have it?"
The leader of the Immortal Alliance finally turned his gaze from her to the flower, and said, "I see? Alas, it would naturally have been a gift for you, but unfortunately..."
Meng Chiwan sensed something unusual and quickly asked, "What's the pity?"
The leader of the alliance gently shook his head and said, "You'd better not take this flower."
If he hadn't said that, it would have been fine, but now that he had, Meng Chiwan was even more curious.
She had carefully examined the flower while looking at it, but found nothing unusual. She was just afraid of missing something, so she decided to bring it out.
She thought that a mere pot of moonflowers wouldn't attract much attention, but unexpectedly, the leader of the Immortal Alliance came to arrest her personally.
She could leave the flowers behind for now, but she definitely wanted to hear the extraordinary story behind them.
However, there is now an opportunity to take a gamble.
Meng Chiwan said, "Alliance Leader, do you know the Meng family of Jingtai? When I went to the Desolate Abyss, I saw many Moonflowers in the illusion."
The leader of the Immortal Alliance was taken aback, then looked at her seriously and said, "Child, was it really you who completed that Yue-level mission last time?"
Meng Chiwan said, "It's me."
The leader of the Immortal Alliance gently stroked his long beard, looked at her and sighed several times, which made Meng Chiwan feel a little uneasy.
Normally, those in positions of authority wouldn't care what tasks their disciples completed, even if it was a Yue-level task; in their eyes, it was nothing special. But now he was asking her if she really had completed it.
This contains two pieces of information: first, he knows that she completed the Yue-level mission "Interdimensional Tales"; second, he does not believe that she completed it.
It's just a mission. Why wouldn't people believe she completed it? After all, she's a Nascent Soul cultivator. A Yue-level mission is indeed difficult, but it's not necessarily impossible to complete.
Meng Chiwan found it very strange.
The leader of the Immortal Alliance gazed at her for a long time, but this time it was different from before. It seemed that he was not observing her expression, but looking at her eyebrows and eyes, as if... he was looking for someone's shadow through her.
The gazes were indeed fixed on her, but she inexplicably felt that they had passed through her, crossed time and space, and gone to another space she did not know.
Meng Chiwan tried to draw his attention back: "Alliance Leader?"
It took the Immortal Alliance Leader a long time to come to his senses before he said, "If that's the case, then telling you won't hurt."
Meng Chiwan was secretly delighted, but she didn't show it, only making a gesture of listening attentively.
"You ask me if I know about the Meng family of Jingtai. What are you trying to find out from me? Are you trying to see if I know that you are a descendant of the Meng family of Jingtai?" The leader of the Immortal Alliance struck her so hard that she could barely fight back.
Meng Chiwan was naturally unwilling to be outdone and said, "Did you specifically set up such a Yue-level mission just to find the Meng family in Jingtai?"
The leader of the Immortal Alliance said, "I'm not looking for the Meng family of Jingtai. The person I'm looking for is you."
Meng Chiwan fell silent, and the door was pushed open completely by a gust of wind from who-knows-where, filling the room with the fragrance of flowers.
The leader of the Immortal Alliance added, "She is Meng Chiwan, the daughter of Meng Ting'er, the eldest daughter of the Meng family in Jingtai."
For the first time in this world, Meng Chiwan's name was linked with Meng Ting'er, and also with the Meng family of Beijing and Taiwan.
