Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

The fog has cleared and the truth has been revealed

"Wei Yao, do you think... you really understand... yourself? Do you think... everything you have... is what you deserve? Let me tell you..." Wei Qing's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into an indistinct murmur.

I watched her in agony, feeling a mixture of emotions. I didn't know what she'd been through, nor did I know what she meant by "everything I had," but I could sense her deep resentment and unwillingness.

Suddenly, Wei Qing, as if having a moment of last breath, sat up abruptly. She stared at me intently, her eyes filled with madness and despair. "Wei Yao, you are not a member of the Wei family at all! The blood flowing in your veins is not our Wei family's blood at all!"

"What did you say?!" I exclaimed, with a storm in my heart.

Wei Qing smiled bitterly, using her last bit of strength to speak: "Why do you think you've been gifted since childhood, cultivating at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people? Why do you think you were chosen as the heir to the family? It's because... you have the blood of... an ancient mythical beast flowing in your veins!"

"Bloodline of a divine beast?!" I looked at Wei Qing in shock, my mind going blank.

Elder Wei, who had been silent the entire time, also changed his expression. He stood up abruptly, looked at Wei Qing in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "How...how did you know this? This is the family's top secret. Where did you find out?!"

Wei Qing ignored Elder Wei. She stared at me intently, her eyes filled with resentment. "Wei Yao, you don't deserve any of this! You're not even a member of the Wei family. You don't deserve the bloodline of a divine beast, and you don't deserve..."

Before she could finish her words, she fell to the ground again, and this time, she never stood up again.

I stood there in a daze, Wei Qing's words echoing in my mind. Divine beast bloodline? I actually have the blood of a divine beast flowing through me? How is this possible?

"Yao'er..." Elder Wei walked over to me and patted my shoulder gently, "This matter..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps. I looked back and saw Hao Yang walking in with a sullen face. His eyes swept over Wei Qing on the ground and finally landed on me, his eyes full of worry and heartache.

"Yaoyao, are you okay?" He walked to my side and gently held me in his arms.

I shook my head and buried it in his chest, feeling the warmth of his embrace, but my heart was filled with confusion and unease. Divine beast bloodline, family secrets, what was going on? Who was I?

"I will get to the bottom of this matter." Hao Yang's voice was low and firm. His hand gently stroked my hair, as if to soothe the uneasiness in my heart.

I looked up and into his eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I knew that no matter what happened, he would be by my side.

"Yeah." I nodded gently, but my eyes couldn't help but fall on Wei Qing's lifeless face on the ground. Suddenly, an indescribable sadness flashed through my heart...

Hao Yang's arms were wrapped tightly around me, his warmth filtering through my thin clothes, bringing a touch of comfort. Yet, I felt as if I had fallen into an icy cave. Wei Qing's words were like a thunderclap, shattering my previously peaceful life.

"It's totally unreasonable!" Hao Yang was furious after hearing Wei Qing's last words, "How could she do such a thing just out of jealousy!" His usually gentle face was covered with gloom, and he was obviously angry at Wei Qing's behavior.

Elder Wei sighed deeply, his face filled with exhaustion and helplessness. "Qing'er... has always been competitive and strives to be the best at everything..."

"But this doesn't excuse her from colluding with the dark forces!" Hao Yang interrupted Elder Wei. He clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. "Does she know what the consequences of doing this will be?!"

I looked up, bewildered, at Hao Yang. Dark forces? What dark forces?

"Yaoyao, do you remember that mysterious organization we investigated earlier?" Hao Yang looked down at me, his eyes filled with worry. "They've been operating in secret, trying to disrupt the balance of the major families and even trying to control the entire cultivation world."

Some fragments flashed through my mind. They were rumors about that mysterious organization. It was said that they were ruthless and cruel, and possessed great power. Even some big families were afraid of them.

"Could it be... that Wei Qing is in collusion with them?" I asked in disbelief, a chill running from the soles of my feet to my heart.

"That's right." Elder Wei nodded gravely. "Qing'er... in order to gain greater power, she was willing to take advantage of the tiger's skin. The formation she activated was made possible by the power of the dark forces."

"Is she crazy?!" I exclaimed, an indescribable anger and fear welling up in my heart. "Does she know how much disaster this will bring to the family?!"

Elder Wei closed his eyes in pain and waved his hands weakly, "What's the point of saying this now? Qing'er... has already paid the price for her actions..."

"No, it's not over yet." Hao Yang's tone was cold and firm. "Although Wei Qing is dead, the dark forces behind her have not been eradicated. They must have other conspiracies!"

His words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in my heart. I realized the seriousness of the matter. Wei Qing's actions had already brought a huge crisis to the family, and this was only the beginning...

I stood up suddenly, my mind in a mess. I had to do something. I couldn't just watch my family fall into an abyss of no return because of Wei Qing's mistake.

"Hao Yang..." I grabbed his hand and said hurriedly, "What should we do now?"

He held my hand and said firmly, "I will protect you and the Wei family and will not let anyone hurt you."

His words gave me a sense of peace of mind, but I was still filled with uneasiness, because I knew that a bigger storm was coming...

I turned to look at Elder Wei. His face was pale, his eyes filled with worry and fear. I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, and then slowly said, "Elder, I..."

Before I could finish my words, I was interrupted by a rapid knock on the door...

"Come in." Elder Wei said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed, obviously worried.

The door opened, and a family disciple hurried in with a panicked look on his face. "Elder, this is bad! Something's happened to our family... our family!"

My heart sank, and a sense of foreboding washed over me. Could it be that the forces of darkness had already begun to attack my family?

"What happened? Tell me slowly." Elder Wei pretended to be calm and signaled his disciples not to panic.

"Just now, the family's protective formation was suddenly attacked, and now the formation has..." The disciple's voice stopped abruptly, his face full of fear, as if he had seen something terrible.

"What's wrong with the formation?" I couldn't help but ask, feeling more and more uneasy.

"The formation... has been broken!" The disciple said this tremblingly. His face was as pale as paper, as if he had been extremely frightened.

My head buzzed, as if something had exploded. The formation was broken? This meant our family was completely exposed to the enemy's attack and could face catastrophic destruction at any moment!

"Damn it!" Elder Wei stood up suddenly, and the teacup in his hand slipped to the ground and shattered into pieces, but he didn't care about it anymore. "They actually took action so quickly!"

"Elder, what should we do now?" the disciple asked anxiously. He was at a loss and had no idea what to do.

"There is no time to lose, we must rush back immediately!" Elder Wei made a prompt decision. He knew that the situation was urgent and no time could be lost.

"But..." I hesitated. Wei Qing's body is still here. Are we going to leave her here alone?

"It's too late!" Elder Wei understood my concerns, but he couldn't care less now. "We must ensure the safety of our family first, and we can talk about other things later!"

As he spoke, he took my hand and walked quickly out the door with Hao Yang and me. Hao Yang followed closely behind us, his eyes firm and calm, as if silently telling me: He will protect me and the Wei family.

We hurried along and soon arrived at the door of Wei Qing's room. Just as we turned around, Wei Qing suddenly struggled to her feet. What was she going to do? Was she still refusing to give up?

We were all stunned, staring at the scene in disbelief. Wasn't Wei Qing already dead? How could she suddenly stand up?

"You...how could you possibly..." I was so shocked I couldn't speak, my mind in a turmoil. Hao Yang subconsciously protected me behind him, staring at Wei Qing warily, his muscles tense, ready to respond to any emergency.

Wei Qing slowly stood up straight. Her face was frighteningly pale, but a strange smile played on the corner of her mouth. "What? Are you surprised? How could I die? I still have so many things to do. How could I die so easily?"

Every time she spoke, her body trembled, as if she was in great pain, but the hatred in her eyes became more and more intense, as if it wanted to devour us.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Elder Wei asked harshly, his voice trembling slightly. He was also shocked by the strange scene before him, but years of experience told him that things were definitely not that simple.

"What do I want to do? Haha..." Wei Qing suddenly laughed, her laughter was shrill and crazy, echoing in the empty room, making people shudder. "Of course, I want to drag you to be buried with me!"

Her smile suddenly stopped, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. The spiritual energy around her began to fluctuate violently, and a powerful force quickly gathered in her body.

My heart was filled with alarm, realizing the situation was not good. I was about to warn Elder Wei and Hao Yang to be careful, but Wei Qing suddenly raised her head, staring at me with her scarlet eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "Wei Yao, you forced me to do all this! I want you dead!"
