Wei Shizhong was already furious because his order was intercepted and he couldn't contact his daughter. Shi Miao's attitude just added fuel to the fire, making him like a bomb.
He stormed into the mountain gate and walked for about five minutes when he saw a Taixu Sect disciple standing on one leg in a golden rooster stance, eyes half-closed, as if regulating his breathing. Hearing his footsteps, the disciple opened his eyes, put his other foot back on the ground, and asked, "Who are you looking for? What's going on?"
Wei Shizhong raised his chin slightly, revealing a somewhat arrogant expression, "I came here to look for my daughter Wei Qingqiu. She is Elder Zhen's disciple."
His daughter was a true disciple, unlike the ordinary gatekeepers. Wei Shizhong was already imagining the gatekeeper's shocked and fawning expression when he heard Qingqiu's name. If he tried to please him, he wouldn't be unable to say a few good words for Qingqiu.
What surprised him was that the disciple's expression was very nonchalant. "So it's Junior Sister Wei's father. Junior Sister Wei has been in solitary confinement for three months, and now she won't be able to leave the courtyard for another two and a half months. Come back in two and a half months."
Put in solitary confinement? Three months?
Wei Shizhong was anxious. "What mistake did Qingqiu make? She has always been the most well-behaved and hardworking one, and she often speaks well of the Taixu Sect at home. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Didn't her master, Elder Zhen, love her very much? Didn't Elder Zhen say anything?
The disciple on duty today hesitated for a moment, then finally told Wei Qingqiu what she had done. Her actions were truly shameful. Who would directly use the Twin Gu on a man just to woo him, hoping he'd become their bootlicker? A reputable sect like theirs detested such filthy, unorthodox practices. It could be said that Wei Qingqiu's actions had completely destroyed the good reputation she had built.
Wei Shizhong was dumbfounded. How could Qingqiu be so confused? If she wanted to take action, she could have told him in advance. Couldn't he just hold a banquet and lure Ji Jingyao over?
She insisted on attacking Ji Jingyao in Taixu Sect, but failed and was caught red-handed.
Hearing that his daughter had been stripped of her status as a true disciple and was no longer Elder Zhen's last disciple, Wei Shizhong was heartbroken. With such a stain on his reputation, unless Qingqiu's strength was so strong that the Taixu Sect could bow down, she would have no chance of becoming the next leader.
He had been boasting about how highly regarded she was in the Taixu Sect recently, which had drawn the attention of others in the circle. If they knew about this, and since they were disliked by the Ji family, they would probably be quick to take advantage of the situation.
Wei Shizhong didn't want to see this happen. He took a deep breath and said, "Can I see Elder Zhen?"
He had to plead with Elder Zhen and ask him to change his mind.
If that doesn't work, I can just bribe him with money. It's just that the company recently expanded and acquired another company, so the Wei family's funds are a bit low. I'll probably have to borrow some from my sister and brother-in-law.
If 100 million is not enough, then 200 million!
The gatekeeper disciple thought about it and called Elder Zhen.
After a while, he said to Wei Shizhong: "I will take you to see my uncle."
…
Elder Zhen was a little annoyed. He had been immersed in the array formation secrets given by Shi Miao these days, and was completely obsessed with them. But then Wei Shizhong suddenly came over and insisted on talking to him about his daughter.
If he hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that he had such a disciple.
As soon as Wei Shizhong saw Elder Zhen, he immediately shouted, "Master Zhen, Qingqiu was just confused for a moment. Please give her another chance. She's just under too much pressure. It's all my wife's fault. She was the one who whispered nonsense in Qingqiu's ear and forced her. This child is just too filial and soft-hearted."
Wei Shizhong had already thought of an excuse before he came here, and he put the blame on his wife, and his daughter was innocent.
Zhen Yanfeng looked at him and frowned. "Why did I hear that your Wei family announced that Qingqiu was the next leader? Even an elder like me didn't know that the future leader had already been chosen."
The Wei family is too generous.
When he had a cold face, he unconsciously exuded a sense of oppression. Wei Shizhong felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on his chest, and breathing became difficult.
"That's not true... We wouldn't dare publicize these things. Someone must be jealous of Qingqiu and deliberately framed our family."
Shi Miao's cold expression flashed through his mind, and he suddenly raised his voice, "Is it Shi Miao? She must be the one throwing dirty water on Qingqiu. She's just jealous of Qingqiu and can't bear to see Qingqiu replace her position in the wealthy circle."
After word got out that Qingqiu had been accepted as a disciple by Elder Zhen, some of the people who had originally admired Shi Miao changed their minds and flocked to the Wei family. Shi Miao must have harbored a grudge. As he spoke, he began to believe it himself.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yanfeng was immediately furious. "Shut up! No wonder your family raised a daughter like Wei Qingqiu who only wants to take shortcuts. It turns out that when the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. Your daughter still wants to compete with my master? Her character and ability are not even worthy of carrying my master's shoes."
Wei Shizhong was spitted in the face by the furious Elder Zhen. He was a little confused, "What master? I'm talking about Shi Miao?"
And when did Elder Zhen have a new master? Didn't his master pass away long ago?
Zhen Yanfeng looked at him coldly, "Shi Miao is my master, and also the founder of our Taixu Sect."
After the duel, Master Shi Miao stayed behind to explain the Dao to everyone, benefiting them greatly. In yesterday's class, senior disciple Zhang Qingmu, having accumulated enough knowledge, broke through a bottleneck and became a Qi Refiner. Seeing that the sect not only had several new techniques suitable for disciples of different attributes, but also had a successor, Zhen Yanfeng was naturally extremely grateful to his master.
