The villain's daily corpse collection
Chapter 239 Cousin Relationship
After arguing for a long time, they agreed to schedule the trial for seven days. Wang Wei then left the cave. Mo Wuyin did not follow him as she still had things to discuss with the elders.
Wang Wei could feel the immortal power in her body, which should be something that comes naturally in her blood, but she had no systematic training, and had never experienced actual combat, so she asked for the trial to be extended to seven days. With her talent, seven days was more than enough to study a new type of magic.
"Stop!" A crisp voice interrupted Wang Wei's thoughts. Wang Wei turned her head and knew it was Qing Jue calling her, so she slowed down her pace but did not stop.
The girl jogged all the way and stopped Wang Wei.
Wang Wei tilted his head slightly: "What's the matter?"
Qing Jue looked puzzled and questioned, "The elders said they wanted to punish me, why did you speak up for me? What is your ulterior motive?"
Wang Wei strode in front of the girl. She opened her eyes wide and wanted to take a few steps back, but was held back by Wang Wei.
"Of course I have my own plans. There is no conflict between you and me in the competition for the successor. Because I have no intention of becoming the patriarch of this immortal clan."
"You are lying to me so that I can let down my guard against you!" Qingjue snorted lightly, his tone very firm.
"I just want to see the archives and treasures that only the Immortal Clan leader can see. I am not interested in this position. So we can cooperate and there is no need to fight. After you become the clan leader, can't you make an exception and let me see it?"
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Qing Jue frowned. Although she expressed her purpose very directly, but...
"Wait!" Qingjue called out to Wang Wei who had taken a few steps.
Wang Wei: "What are you doing again? Haven't I made it very clear, you——"
Qing Jue: "You're going in the wrong direction. That's not the exit."
Wang Wei: “…”
Wang Wei came to his senses and realized that he was taking the wrong road. He had turned around and left in a carefree manner, but now he had to walk back in embarrassment.
But forget it, she was not familiar with this place anyway. She gave Qingjue a fake smile, then easily surpassed Qingjue's pace and walked forward.
But Qingjue did not intend to avoid her. Instead, he jogged after her and walked side by side with her.
"Any questions?" Wang Wei caught a glimpse of Qingjue's hesitant look out of the corner of his eye.
Qing Jue: "Why is your hair white? Your eyebrows, eyelashes and even eyes are also light, why?"
Hope is: “?”
This time it was Wang Wei's turn to be confused. She saw that the other party had been holding back for a long time, and felt that the atmosphere had been stiff for too long, so she took the lead in speaking out. She thought that the other party would ask some questions about the trial and the clan position, but she didn't expect that she would only ask irrelevant questions.
"Is this a secret?"
"No, I guess it's probably because of malnutrition and weak magic power when I was a child. I was born like this. I remember that I have been like this since I was born."
"...Didn't your aunt take care of you?"
"I didn't grow up at home. I was left outside and wandered for nearly a thousand years before returning home. She really didn't take care of me. But -"
Wang Wei changed the subject and said, "You don't have to look at me like that. I'm just answering your questions. I don't mean to get closer to you, nor do I want to be pitied."
"But your mother is my aunt, so you should be my cousin!" Qingjue counted the generations on her fingers, "Cousin, you won't be angry with my attitude before, right?" As she said that, she tried to pull Wang Wei's sleeve, but Wang Wei raised his hand and dodged lightly.
Qingjue was not discouraged. As if she realized that Wang Wei was not her real competitor, she put away the thorns on her body and returned to her harmless appearance.
But Wangwei doesn’t think Qingjue is such a simple person. People who pursue power will try to cover it up. Now she has to doubt Qingjue’s motives.
"I have arrived."
Wang stopped in her tracks. She was asked all sorts of questions by her "cousin" along the way. In order to maintain the cooperative relationship, she did not resist too obviously. Qing Jue, however, was like a bird, chattering all the way, and introducing some of the customs and practices of the immortals.
When it was time to say goodbye, she still held Wang Wei's arm tightly. Wang Wei couldn't help but choked: "You are so enthusiastic to me because you know I won't compete with you. It's actually unnecessary. Just be yourself. You don't have to act for me. I will leave here when I get what I want, and I may not come back in the future. Then you will be the only candidate for the clan leader, and no one will compete with you."
Qingjue withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly, as he was actually touched in the heart.
Wang Wei's pair of almost colorless eyes could see through people's hearts. She was a little afraid to look at her, and Wang Wei didn't look at her most of the time, which allowed her to start her performance smoothly, acting as an innocent and non-threatening person.
"It doesn't matter. I don't care about these empty words. I won't end our cooperation just because you hate me or I hate you."
Wang Wei smiled and said, "You don't have to try to please others or crave others' flattery. This will only make what you want to do more difficult. The only thing you have to do is to make yourself stronger and focus on yourself."
Wang Wei turned and left. She saw Huo Feng observing a string of exquisite wind chimes under the eaves, so she quietly stepped forward and covered his eyes while he was not paying attention.
Qingjue stood there in a daze. She didn't expect Wang Wei to discover so many things.
In the tribe over the years, she had indeed been walking on thin ice, trying to please the tribe leader aunt and all the elders and seniors. She received their love and care, and her heart gradually swelled. She also hoped that someone would treat her the same way.
So she changed.
She starts to act nice in front of those in high positions, and she doesn't want to be nice to other people. Why should she be humble and behave herself so that others can be so comfortable?
She did a lot of arrogant and domineering things behind the scenes, but she hid it very well and no one could really reveal her true face.
But Wang Wei saw through her true nature within less than a day of meeting her, and he was not going to fall for her tricks at all. No matter how sharp her words were, they could not shake Wang Wei's attitude towards her, including those elders who were usually high-handed and loved to preach, Wang Wei treated them all equally.
When she heard the verbal confrontation between the elders and Wang Wei, she secretly made up her mind to have a good relationship with this cousin, as she had things she wanted to learn from her.
At this moment, Qingjue suddenly noticed that Wang Wei had a happy smile on his face.
This smile was different from the indifferent smile when he talked to her. This time, Wang Wei was smiling because he was truly happy, not just out of perfunctory courtesy.
She turned her gaze to the young man beside Wang Wei. The two of them hugged and played with each other, looking very happy.
Qingjue had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. She clearly wanted to have a good relationship with her cousin Wang Wei, so why did she reject her and misinterpret her meaning?
Something has to be done.
