"Brother, how is he?"

After Wen Yuxi saw his senior brother go to the main hall, he did not check his body.

Instead, he glanced at Mr. Cui San and frowned.

I can't help but worry that there might be worse outcomes.

The Third Master Cui, with the air of a woman looking at her son-in-law, criticized, "Brother Wen, he only took one look at me. What could he have seen? He really thinks he's a god."

Wen Yuxi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Brother, if you are not a god, then why don’t you invite one over!

He glanced at his senior brother, and fortunately he was concentrating on treating his illness and didn't take it to heart.

Wen Yuxi turned and glared at Mr. Cui San, "Behave yourself!"

Mr. Cui San snorted in dissatisfaction, his nose turned up to the sky.

After watching for a while, Zhiming turned around and whispered, "It seems like he's trying to take over someone else's body."

The sound was so quiet that it was almost silent, and only the two of them could hear it.

Young Master Cui was a little annoyed. He raised his voice and asked, "What are you talking about? If you have any problem, just tell me. I can bear it."

Wen Yuxi ignored him and continued to ask, "If someone wants to take over the body, I'm afraid he knows that Brother Cui has spiritual roots. If he wants to take over the body of a mortal, there is really no need for this."

After the melee at Shenglong Mountain ended, Master Cui San disappeared.

Xiao Jiqiu brought the commander's body back, but his head fell outside the altar.

Could it be that after his death his soul remained immortal for a short time and then took over another body?

In this case, it may be that he is forcibly taking over another body in order to survive.

Zhiming shook his head: "When there is no other way, he will also take over the body."

Okay, regardless of whether he has spiritual roots or not, the current question is how to rescue him.

"If they took over someone else's body, why is Brother Cui still alive? Did that person fail?"

"He has not failed. He seems to be still hiding in the body of Mr. Cui San."

Wen Yuxi was stunned: "Brother, are you saying that person and Brother Cui share the same body?"

"Yes."

"Since that person was able to possess another body, his soul should be even more powerful. Why didn't he succeed?"

"That's what I'm confused about."

"Will his presence affect Brother Cui's health?"

“So far, it seems that there has been no impact.”

Wen Yuxi touched his chin, this was strange.

It was obvious that the commander's cultivation level was at least at the Golden Core stage, and his soul was extremely powerful.

Only after he was severely injured was he able to be defeated by Xiao Jiqiu.

If he were to take over another's body, Brother Cui would have no chance of winning. Could it be that he was lucky enough to save his life because of his abnormal body?

There is also that lost memory. Perhaps it was after the commander took over Brother Cui's body that he fell into a coma.

The commander borrowed this body and returned to Cui Mansion, but why did he never wake up again?

Or....he lied...

Or maybe Mr. Cui San was not lying, and the person in front of him was a combination of the commander and Mr. Cui San, or maybe it was the commander pretending to be Mr. Cui San?

Wen Yuxi told Zhiming about this idea. He thought about it for a while and still shook his head.

In that case.......

Wen Yuxi turned around and said with a smile, "Brother Cui was worried for a while. Senior Brother said you are in good health and can live to be ninety-nine."

Third Master Cui raised his eyebrows and sneered, "What did I just say? The imperial physician said it was fine. How could your senior brother tell the difference?"

Wen Yuxi smiled and said, "That's what you said."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and lunch time was almost here.

Wen Yuxi invited him to have dinner at his house, but Mr. Cui San left early due to an urgent matter.

After lunch, the yard finally became quiet.

Wen Yuxi asked the servants to move a recliner to the yard.

The autumn sunshine is much softer than the summer sunshine.

Wen Yuxi was lying on a chair, covering his face with a folding fan, lazily basking in the sun.

The breeze blows gently, neither too hot nor too cold, just a comfortable and refreshing temperature.

He raised his arms above his head, stretched, and sighed.

Zhiming saw him lying lazily through the window lattice, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He took light steps, walked out of the room, and slowly walked towards Wen Yuxi.

Wen Yuxi heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but smile under the folding fan.

He had heard his senior brother's footsteps hundreds and thousands of times, so he could recognize them at once.

Feeling the footsteps approaching and stopping, Wen Yuxi stretched out his arm and grabbed his sleeve.

"Why did Senior Brother come out?"

"Ah."

"Brother, we are leaving tonight. If you have any relatives in the mortal world, we can go and see them together."

"I am an orphan and have no relatives."

Zhiming spoke in a calm tone, but Wen Yuxi felt sad for him.

She sat up from the recliner, took his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, am I not your relative?"

Zhiming was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he recovered and held his hand, saying softly, "No."

Wen Yuxi immediately blew his beard and glared: "Brother, you actually said no!"

Zhiming touched his cheek, looked into his eyes, and said gently, "Junior brother is different from others. Family members are only bound by blood, but Junior brother is more important to me than my life."

Wen Yuxi was shocked physically and mentally.

......

That night, Zhiming took Wen Yuxi from the capital and flew towards Yuping Mountain.

The flying sword traveled all night and arrived at dawn.

After washing up, Wen Yuxi went to the cafeteria to eat and then went to the martial arts hall for class.

There were two new faces in the class. Upon asking, I found out that they were newcomers brought back by disciples who had traveled outside, and they had also passed the sect trial.

Su Yan still sat upright in the front row, listening to the teacher's speech without looking away.

It was only after class at noon that Wen Yuxi started talking to him.

"Is anyone looking for trouble?" Wen Yuxi pulled Su Yan aside and asked.

Su Yan glanced around warily and whispered, "Lu Tong is dead."

Wen Yuxi was stunned. Dead?

"Have you found out who it is?"

Su Yan shook his head. "The deceased was a Qi Refining Stage disciple, so the sect doesn't take it seriously. What's strange is that his brother didn't come forward to ask the sect to conduct a thorough investigation. I suspect they'll eventually blame the monster."

"Where are the three followers Lu Tong brought with him?"

"The three of them are so scared that they dare not go out, fearing that they will die without anyone noticing."

Wen Yuxi nodded. "When I left that day, I heard these three people arguing with Lu Tong and leaving in anger. Who do you think killed him?"

Su Yan narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Do you still remember that a Foundation Establishment disciple slipped away? That person might not be from the Jiuxuan Sect. At that time, Lu Tong's Qi Sea was destroyed by me and he had no mana. That person might have come back and wanted to kill him and steal the treasure."

Wen Yuxi also guessed the same thing: "Oh right, did the sect find out where we were fighting?"

"We haven't found it. It was originally a trap set by Lu Tong. Naturally, the more hidden it is, the easier it is for him to succeed. So, we haven't found it yet."

"There are many monsters in the forest, and the traces may have disappeared. If it was really that person who killed him, he must have escaped from Jiuxuan Sect long ago."

"Yes."

Su Yan nodded and suddenly asked, "Where have you been these past two days? Senior Brother Jiang Ling has gotten much better now, and I wanted to go and thank you."

Wen Yuxi touched his chin, his face calm and his heart steady as he said, "I'm practicing in seclusion in the mountains with my senior brother."

She patted his shoulder again and said, "Since everything is fine, I'll leave first. Keep in touch anytime."
