Chapter 236 Revisiting the Wang Family
Chapter 236 Revisiting the Wang Family
Gu Yuchuan couldn't see the Venerable One's change of expression. After he went out, he saw a cold and aloof woman. She looked very noble and wore a white gauze dress, which was simple and elegant, with a touch of refinement.
She seemed somewhat out of place among the other fox demons of Qingqiu. Most of them wore fur coats instead of palace attire, exuding either a wildness or an elegance and luxury; very few possessed her kind of aura. Clearly, she was standing in Gu Yuchuan's inevitable path, intending to speak to him. This caused Gu Yuchuan's brow to furrow slightly. He truly didn't want any involvement with this otherworldly fox clan. Besides, he had already promised Bai Ping; stopping here to talk wasn't appropriate.
He tried to go around it, but the other party blocked his way again. Well, since there was no way to get past, he could only stop and see what the other party was up to.
"I wonder what business this young lady has of blocking my way?"
His tone wasn't friendly; it carried a hint of distance. If the other party didn't actually have something to say, they should have backed down.
However, it was clear that she really had something on her mind. She didn't care at all about Gu Yuchuan's icy coldness, and her voice sounded very cold as well.
"You came here for Xiaowei, right?"
Gu Yuchuan carefully observed the other person. He didn't know if Xiao Wei's matter needed to be hidden in Qingqiu, so he didn't answer immediately. The other person seemed a bit anxious, and her aura was revealed. She was actually a Nascent Soul stage expert. This was going to be a bit troublesome.
"Say something! Is Xiaowei still alive? Where is she? Please take me to her!"
She gripped Gu Yuchuan's arm, causing him intense pain. Even though this woman wasn't a cultivator skilled in physical strength, a Nascent Soul stage expert's physical power was still considerable.
She realized her mistake: "I'm sorry, I was just too excited. I couldn't control myself and hurt you. I'll make it up to you. Can you tell me where Xiaowei is?"
Her eyes were already moist, clearly indicating that she and Xiaowei had a good relationship.
"Senior, I have already spoken to the Venerable One about Xiao Wei. Whether I need to tell you or not, I don't know. If you really want to know, you can go inside and ask the Venerable One. There's no need to make things difficult for a junior like me here."
Her face turned very pale: "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you, I'll go in now."
She burst into the main hall in a flurry of activity. Gu Yuchuan turned his head to look at her, genuinely curious about who this person was and why she cared so much about Xiao Wei.
This fox demon is named Bai Ningzhi. She and Xiao Wei are indeed very close. They have lived together since they were little. Her mother passed away early, and Xiao Wei is like a sister and a mother to her. When Xiao Wei had her accident, she was only at the Foundation Establishment stage and had no idea about it. By the time she found out, Xiao Wei had already been transferred to the Azure Cloud Realm by the Qi. Such things are beyond her level of knowledge.
As Xiao Wei's relative, she could sense that Xiao Wei was not dead. However, she searched for hundreds of years but could not find Xiao Wei. This became her motivation for cultivation, allowing her to reach the Nascent Soul stage despite her average talent.
After entering the main hall, she immediately knelt down. In fact, given the Demon Emperor's status, she no longer needed to kneel before the Venerable One, but since she had come to ask for something, she naturally placed herself in a very low position.
"Venerable One, have you found my sister? Please have pity on me, Venerable One. I, as her younger sister, have suffered so much searching for her. I want to see her. Venerable One, you know about my relationship with my sister. I want to help her."
Her tears were like pear blossoms in the rain, causing the Venerable One to sigh deeply.
"Bai Ningzhi, I understand how you feel, but there are some things that are beyond your control. What I can tell you is that Xiaowei has indeed had a chance to escape her predicament, but you can't go. Just stay home and wait patiently. Xiaowei will be back soon."
Her eyes lit up, like a star: "Really? Venerable One, is my sister really going to escape?"
The Venerable One nodded: "That's right, but Xiao Wei's condition is very poor. She doesn't have much lifespan left, and she hasn't broken through to the Nascent Soul stage yet. If you have nothing else to do, prepare more resources for her to go into seclusion. Don't worry about anything else, especially that dragon. Don't have any more contact with her, understand?"
She nodded heavily: "Alright, Venerable One, I will prepare the necessary items to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. I will definitely help my sister become a Nascent Soul expert."
After saying that, she ran out. At this moment, Gu Yuchuan finally left the core area of Qingqiu. This time, no one was with him, so he could only fly on his own, which slowed him down considerably.
Now, his desire for a flying boat was even stronger. If he had a flying boat, he could travel while lying down, without having to expend his magic power to fly. He would definitely prepare to build a flying boat when he got back.
Throughout the journey, Gu Yuchuan was very careful to conceal his aura. Fortunately, Bai Ping removed the mark Shen Yutang had given him; otherwise, he really wouldn't have dared to come. Even so, he still had to be extremely cautious, after all, that was a Nascent Soul stage expert. If that expert really came to kill him, he would have no chance of survival.
When Bai Ping led him from the human realm to Qingqiu, it took them three whole days. However, when Gu Yuchuan traveled the same route by himself, it took him five whole days. The difference between them was quite obvious. This was only because Qingqiu was right next to the human realm; otherwise, the journey would have taken even longer.
He finally arrived in Ye City again. Incredibly, Ye City had changed drastically. The Wang family had taken over the Song family and become the sole master of Ye City. However, the new master was Wang Anming, the younger brother of the former Wang Ankang, who was also a cultivator at the first level of the Golden Core stage.
Gu Yuchuan didn't care what exactly happened. He didn't care. As long as he destroyed the entire Wang family, he could go back. He always felt uncomfortable in the Wanhua Realm, as if he had been tricked by someone. However, he couldn't explain exactly how he had been tricked, and that was the most uncomfortable part.
After entering Ye City, he found a place to hide near the Wang family. It was daytime now, and it would be too obvious to make a move if too many people found out. He decided to wait until night to take action. It would only take a few hours, which he could easily wait for.
