Chapter 60 Chapter 60 It’s a pity that after a hundred years, who is the fool...

Yun Jin and Xu Shun waited downstairs for a while before they saw the two men coming downstairs. Yun Du was calm, but Wei Xin's eyes were full of resentment, which they were no longer surprised by.

Nine times out of ten, Wei Xin always had this expression.

"Brother, I checked, and the disciples on guard said that no one went to look for Dou Fang, and no one knew when he left. Now the whole sect is looking for him." Yun Jin said.

Yun Du pondered: "Who is Dou Fang usually closer to?"

"I heard that after he became my disciple, he was very diligent and practiced hard every day. Third Uncle-Master thought highly of him and planned to take him out to gain some experience personally. But who knew this would happen? Third Uncle-Master is very sad." Yun Jin sighed.

Xu Shun added: "He once privately visited Wen Jingcheng, seemingly asking Wen Jingcheng to forgive him for what he did in the secret realm, but was rejected by Wen Jingcheng, and he never came again after that."

Yun Du asked, "What kind of person is he?"

Yun Jin said: "We watched them pass the trials with our own eyes. He is not a bad person by nature. It's a pity that he killed Wen Jingcheng and 'Xu Yingjun' in the secret realm, and his mind became crooked. He became more and more extreme afterwards."

Yun Du pondered and said, "It means that his mentality is unstable and he is easily controlled."

"Who will control him? And for what purpose?"

The three of them fell silent, and suddenly there was a crunching sound beside them. Wei Xin was actually cracking melon seeds idly.

Yun Jin: “…”

Xu Shun: "......"

Wei Xin blinked, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Yun Du's hand. Yun Du smiled and said, "You guys sit down too, let's eat and chat."

Who can still eat melon seeds?

Yun Jin sat down in despair: "Brother, what should we do now?"

"This is about the Qingguan Sect, and you have accepted many disciples. It's time for you to learn to make your own decisions. I can't always be by your side. Sooner or later, you will have to face everything on your own." Yun Du said.

Yun Jin hesitated: "Can I...can I?"

"Master once said that among the three of us, I lack rationality and Yunqing is too gentle. Only you are strong and gentle, and you care about the world. You are the most suitable leader of the sect. However, under our wings, you lack the opportunity to gain experience."

Xu Shun nodded silently.

"Now that the Qingguan Sect has been in trouble and innocent people have been hurt, you will definitely take on this responsibility. So just give it a try. Don't be afraid. If anything goes wrong, I, your second senior brother, and I will take care of it for you."

Thinking that his second senior brother had also returned, Yun Jin felt reassured and said seriously, "Okay, I will catch the real culprit myself and won't let my senior brother down!"

After the two men left, Wei Xin threw down the melon seeds and handed over a bowl filled with half a bowl of melon seeds.

"For you." Yun Du said.

Wei Xin grabbed the bowl and swallowed all the melon seeds in one gulp. After chewing them, he said, "Have you noticed that Xu Shun's internal strength has changed a lot?"

"Um."

Although Xu Shun followed Yun Jin the whole time and seemed to have no sense of existence, he was able to do so in front of Yun Du and Wei Xin, proving that his Qi circulation had reached a superb level.

Every time they met, he could feel that Xu Shun's skills had improved. He truly was worthy of being the chosen one. Wei Xin stepped on the melon seed shells on the ground unwillingly.

After being interrupted by the master and disciple, Wei Xin lost interest and left the inn with Yun Du.

Not knowing what he was thinking of, he suddenly asked, "By the way, why did Tianchen say that you lack reason?"

"Maybe Master thinks I will be tempted by beauty." Yun Du teased.

"Bullshit! How many times have you missed out on beautiful women?!" Wei Xin said meaningfully, "There is no one in the world more rational than you!"

Yun Du smiled and said, "Sorry, I won't delay you next time. How about we go back now?"

Wei Xin paused and turned to look at him.

After looking at each other for a while, Wei Xin became interested again. He wanted to ruin his upright and elegant appearance and make him cry. It would be a good opportunity to practice how to perform dual cultivation!

"Let's go!" He grabbed Yun Du's hand and walked back.

Just as he walked into the door of the inn, a crisp voice sounded behind him: "Brother Wei Xin, Master Yun Du, what a coincidence, you are here too!"

Wei Xin turned around and saw Yan Lin holding Yan Xiu's hand, standing outside the gate and waving at him.

"Ah..." Yan Lin was startled, as if he saw a hint of murderous intent in Wei Xin's eyes, so scary!

"What are you doing here?" Wei Xin asked through gritted teeth. Yun Du lowered his head and tried to hold back his laughter.

"I heard that there are many fun places in the capital, so I came here specially to check them out. There seems to be someone performing acrobatics in front, do you want to go and see them together?" Yan Lin invited.

Wei Xin: "What's so good about that?"

"I heard that the one doing all this is a cultivator who can control puppets!"

That's interesting.

The two looked at each other and immediately followed. Wei Xin said, "I want to see who is so shameful to a cultivator as to perform on the street!"

Yan Xiu said: "I guess they are just some quacks, playing some tricks to fool the common people."

A few people came to the place where the show was taking place, and they were surrounded so tightly that no one could get in or out.

Yan Lin and Yan Xiu couldn't see what was going on inside because of their height, so they had to ask them for help: "How was it? Was the performance inside exciting?"

After a long while, Wei Xin retracted his gaze and asked Yun Du uncertainly: "Is this a monkey trainer?"

Yun Du: "Well, there is not a trace of spiritual energy around."

"So the puppets are those monkeys?"

"Most likely."

"Damn it!" Wei Xin was extremely angry. He actually gave up the dual cultivation practice with Yun Du just for a few monkeys. Just thinking about it made him feel like he had suffered a huge loss!

Yan Lin found it interesting, so he squeezed in to look for a while, then wandered around. When he passed by a fortune-telling stall, he couldn't help but ask for a fortune-telling.

Wei Xin was attracted by a dough figurine stall nearby. He asked the stall owner to make one in the image of Yun Du, and then kissed the dough figurine on the mouth in front of Yun Du.

Yundu's mouth curled slightly: "Is it delicious?"

"Mmm, so sweet."

"Give me a taste."

Wei Xin handed the noodle to him, but he licked it on his own lips.

“It’s really sweet.”

Wei Xin immediately pushed him away and looked around. He saw several ladies covering their mouths and laughing. He looked at Yun Du in anger and warned him in a low voice: "Can you be more careful? What will others think of me if this gets out? I am a demon, can you at least respect my majestic identity?!"

"What are you afraid of? No one here knows us."

"Sorry, I know him!" Yan Xiu witnessed the whole process with great sorrow and wanted to curse.

Wei Xin glanced at him and said, "You can't close your eyes?"

"If I knew what you were going to do, I would have poked my own eyes out!"

"Come on, let me help you!"

Yan Xiu immediately ran to hide behind Yan Lin, but he found that Yan Lin looked a little strange, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Lin turned around in disbelief: "Master, he, he is so accurate!"

Several people looked at the stall owner, who stroked his beard and raised his eyebrows calmly: "One divination is ten taels. If it's not accurate, I'll refund all ten taels."

"What has he calculated?" Yan Xiu asked.

"He calculated that I have someone I like, but that person likes the same man, and that's them!" Yan Lin pointed at Wei Xin and the other man.

Three people: "......"

Yan Xiu was heartbroken: "He was just close and saw what these two guys were doing just now!"

Wei Xin directly took the ten taels of silver from the table and threw it into Yan Lin's arms: "Go back and ignore this charlatan."

"Hey, who are you calling a charlatan? Let me tell you, I'm a swindler... I've been fortune-telling for so many years and I've never failed!" the stall owner said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes, I can testify to this. Many people come to the old gentleman for fortune-telling every day." The owner of the noodle stall next to him suddenly interrupted, "The old gentleman is very accurate in fortune-telling. His master's master's master's master once told fortunes for Duke Xu's grandfather. Not long after, the Xu family went from being a declining family to rising to prominence."

"If he is so powerful, why is he still setting up a stall here? Even if he is just cheating people by ten taels, he should have made a fortune." Wei Xin said disdainfully.

"Fortune-telling is to compete with the heaven for luck, so I only tell one fortune every day, and only for people with whom I have a predestined relationship. Today, I saw that this girl looked kind, so I told her one fortune. If you want to tell your fortune, I won't agree!"

"A charlatan." Wei Xin kicked his stall, but when he left, he found Yun Du still standing there, staring at the charlatan.

He turned back and tugged at Yun Du's sleeve: "Let's go, ignore this charlatan."

"Alas, cause and effect are cyclical, and everything in the world has a destiny!" The charlatan said as he packed up his things, "It's a pity that after a hundred years, who will be the fool?"

"What a weird thing." Wei Xin rolled his eyes and pulled Yun Du back to the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw a sedan parked at the gate. He asked the servants and found out that it was Duke Xu who came back early.

As soon as they entered the mansion, the prince's entourage came to take them to meet Duke Xu.

Duke Xu sat at the upper side, looking solemn and dignified. He looked at Yan Xiu for a long time before looking at the prince: "Is he really your long-lost son?"

"It's him. He was the one taken away by Qi Niang back then." said the prince.

"Why do I think he doesn't look like Changsheng?" Duke Xu asked doubtfully.

"We have already done the blood test to confirm our relationship, there will be no mistakes, and there is nothing wrong with his health, so why not let him come back?"

"The body was healed so quickly?" Duke Xu was even more puzzled, frowning and looking up at the others, "Are you the ones who sent Changsheng back?"

Seeing that Wei Xin and Yun Du were silent, Yan Lin answered obediently, "Yes."

"What are your names?"

"I am Yan Lin."

Wei Xin was disgusted by his superior attitude and said, "I am a young butterfly."

Everyone: "......"

Duke Xu looked angry, then looked at Yun Du, frowned again, a little surprised, stood up with his cane, and walked to Yun Du step by step: "What's your name?"

"Yundu."

"Who are you from? How old are you? Are there any other people in your family?"

Yun Du said nothing. Wei Xin stood in front of Yun Du impatiently, blocking the old man's line of sight, and asked coldly: "If you dare to stare at my people again, I will dig out your eyes."

"Who are you? What does it have to do with you if I ask him a question?" Duke Xu said unhappily.

The prince whispered something in his ear, and Duke Xu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the two of them in disbelief.

The prince asked again, "Dad, why are you asking so many questions?"

"Nothing, I just think this young man... looks more like your son."

Wei Xin didn't expect that there was someone more shameless than him. He almost slapped him in the face, but was quickly blocked by the prince.

"Dad, you are really getting old and confused. My son is immortal! Let's let him recognize his ancestors before it gets dark!"

Under the urging of the prince, Duke Xu reluctantly agreed to let Changsheng go to the ancestral hall to kneel down and worship.

The ancestral tablets of the Xu family's ancestors were placed in the ancestral hall. Yan Xiu, with the title of immortality, knelt down and kowtowed several times.

This was not the end. After burning incense, the prince summoned a painter to paint a portrait of Yan Xiu.

"According to the Xu family's ancestral rule, every man over the age of ten must have his portrait painted and stored in the Zhiming Hall."

"So many rules broken." Wei Xin muttered, but the people around him did not react.

Ever since leaving the fortune-telling stall, Yun Du has been unusually silent.

The portrait painting took some time, so the prince led everyone out to wait. When Wei Xin turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of one of the names in the ranking. He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, poked Yun Du, and whispered, "Look, the name on that ranking is the same as the pseudonym you took at the time, both called Xu Linfeng. There really are people called this crappy name."
