Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 953 Each with their own agenda

The Jin family disciple exclaimed in surprise:
"Elder!"

Jinlong wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and waved his hand, saying:

"Don't make a fuss, help me back quickly."

"Yes."

The Jin family disciples immediately helped Jinlong away, while the guards of the city lord's mansion, even though they saw it, stood there without looking at them. Only after Jinlong and his party had left did one of them speak:

"That's an elder from the Jin family. They've been humiliated by the city lord."

"Definitely, otherwise who would have the ability to injure a golden dragon from the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal Realm?"

"He deserved it! He was too arrogant before."

"Alright, this is between you and me, don't go around telling everyone."

"Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing."

The two exchanged a few words briefly before continuing to perform their duties.

Meanwhile, Wan Qiyou and his group, who were stranded at the City Lord's Mansion, were much more composed. They first bowed to thank City Lord Kuangmei, and then said to Wan Qiwei:
"Wei'er, please take Ranxi away for a moment. I have some things to discuss with the city lord privately."

"Yes, elder."

Wanqiwei then led his clansmen and Yunxi out of the council hall.

Once only City Lord Kuangmei and Deputy City Lord Xue Ling remained in the hall, Wan Qiyou spoke:

“Lord City, I believe Vice Lord Xue already shared some of my speculations yesterday. Although we couldn’t find any evidence against the Wanqi family, I think you should be able to find some clues. Please be sure to be wary of the Jin family.”

Kuang Mei nodded to indicate that she understood.

Wan Qiyou didn't say anything more. Some things are better left unsaid; saying too much can backfire.

Afterwards, Wan Qiyou and his entourage returned to their clan's territory. Wan Qiwei personally escorted Yunxi back to their previous courtyard. He didn't rush to leave but instead went into the hall. Only after the two were seated did he speak:

"The sisters who poisoned you and attacked you before are members of a branch of my Wanqi family. Their parents were probably captured by the Jin family. In order to rescue their parents, they took the risk of poisoning your food and then trying to kill you. This was all at the behest of the Jin family."

Yunxi wasn't particularly surprised after hearing this, and simply asked:

"Were their parents rescued?"

Wan Qiwei shook her head and said:

"No, their whereabouts are unknown. They were most likely silenced."

Yunxi simply sighed after hearing this and didn't ask any further questions.

Wan Qiwei asked curiously:
"If you were them, what would you do?"

Yunxi found the question a bit strange, but she still replied:
"Naturally, the first thing to do is to report to the clan elders and let the clan rescue their parents. Why choose such a self-destructive approach that would hurt the enemy a thousand and oneself eight hundred, and there is no guarantee that their parents can be rescued unless the Jin family gives the sisters other promises."

The Wanqi family is able to surpass the Jin family, so it must be a large family. Even the collateral branches can be taken care of, and there should be sufficient cultivation resources to supply the clansmen.

The fact that these sisters were able to come to the clan's territory to cultivate suggests they possess some talent, or are potential descendants the clan wants to nurture. They shouldn't lack cultivation resources and become puppets of the Jin family. Besides their parents being captured, there must be other reasons. I boldly speculate it's for love. I'm also very curious about the man both sisters are in love with.”

After hearing Yunxi's words, Wanqiwei rubbed his fingers together, because Yunxi's guess was almost the truth. However, in addition to kidnapping their parents, the Jin family had also kidnapped their respective lovers and threatened that if the two of them alerted the Wanqi family, all four of them would die.

That's why the two of them spared no effort to kill Yunxi, but they underestimated the strength of ascended cultivators.

Wan Qiwei sighed and said, "Fairy Ranxi, are all ascended cultivators as intelligent and powerful as you?"

Yunxi stroked the jade pendant of her identity at her waist and said with a smile:

"I don't know much about the cultivators who ascended from other minor realms, but the ascended cultivators from the Weiling Realm are all exceptionally courageous and possess matching strength. Our struggle against the evil cultivators has never ceased."

Since I ascended from the small world to the Weiling Realm, the evil cultivators and evil beings of the Wuwang Ruins have been fighting us for control of the ancient battlefield in order to break free from their shackles. For more than a hundred years, we have been fighting non-stop.

"We fought a desperate battle to prevent the Spirit Realm from becoming a place where evil gods could resurrect, dragging the entire Spirit Realm up with us. Otherwise, why do you think we were able to accumulate merit, or how could I have broken through two levels in succession after ascension!"

Wanqiwei could sense the calmness in Yunxi's tone. She spoke of the century-long battle with composure, as if it were commonplace.

“If the elders and I hadn’t shown up, you should have been able to escape.”

This time, Wan Qiwei used an affirmative sentence.

Yunxi spoke the truth:
"Yes, but there will be a price to pay. After all, Jin Lai is a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and we are not confident in facing him head-on."

Wan Qiwei reaffirmed her intention to befriend Yun Xi and directly changed the subject:

"What are your plans after Jinlai's execution?"

Yun Xi thought for a moment and said:
"After all, I am an ascended cultivator. I should go to Wan Tu Immortal City first, and then decide where to go in three years."

After pondering for a moment, Wan Qiwei said:
"Ranxi, I suggest you stay with the Wanqi family for the time being. Although Jin Lai's death was inevitable, the Jin family will definitely hold you accountable. You may become their scapegoat."

Since the Wanqi family has asked you to be a witness, they will naturally protect you.

Yunxi pursed her lips and said:

“I appreciate the Wanqi family’s kindness, but I can’t hide here forever. Besides, I need to cultivate, so there’s no reason for the Wanqi family to support me.”

Wan Qiwei sensed the softening in Yun Xi's tone and said:

"The compensation from the Jin family should be enough for you to cultivate for a period of time. Once the immortal stones that the Jin family has compensated you are used up, you can choose to join the Wanqi family."

For the sake of the family's development, the Wanqi family also recruits disciples from outside the family. Some of the family's elders are immortal cultivators from other clans. This way, you can be protected by the Wanqi family, and the Jin family probably won't dare to harm you again.

Yunxi did not reply immediately, but simply said:

"Thank you for your high regard, Young Master Wei. After all, this concerns the future. May I consider it?"

“I understand that making such a decision must be done carefully. Give me your answer after Jinlai is executed in three days.”

Before leaving, Wan Qiwei specifically explained:

"Because of what happened to the two sisters, the formation in your courtyard has not been removed. The elders have instructed that no one should have the opportunity to approach you before Jinlai is executed. Therefore, no one other than me will come to the courtyard. If you find any strangers spying on you, sound this signal and I will come immediately."

After saying that, he handed a jade talisman to Yunxi.

Yunxi accepted the gift, thanked the person, and watched them leave before turning back to her cultivation room.

After sitting cross-legged, Lili poked her little head out of the spirit beast pouch and said somewhat angrily:

"Fairy, the Wanqi family claims to be protecting you, but this is clearly house arrest. They even want you to join the Wanqi family. What exactly are they plotting?"

Yunxi stroked Lili's head and said:

"Protecting me is real, and wanting me to join the Wanqi family is also real. What I can think they are after is the divine-level cultivation technique I obtained in the cultivation technique pavilion."

See you tomorrow, my darlings~ Goodnight~
