Chapter 84 Wei Xia
Chapter 84 Wei Xia
After this incident, Wei Jin looked even older, and his cough became more severe.
Zhou Qiuyuan had the kitchen prepare ginger soup and carefully confirmed that although Wei Jin was angry and hurt himself, he was not seriously ill before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Wei Jin did not die, and Wang Sichen did not appear at the Wei residence, which means that the crisis in the Wei residence has ended.
"Senior Brother Lu, please take good care of Master. Leave the body to me!"
There are people outside the mansion who want to kill Lu Chengping. If he leaves the Wei family mansion, he will surely die a violent death. The matter of dealing with the two bodies can only be handled by Zhou Qiuyuan alone.
Zhou Qiuyuan was unsure whether Wang Sichen had secretly planted spies to monitor him, or whether he would take action against him for disrupting his plans.
He dared not venture out of the city and paid someone to transport the body to the western cemetery.
He gave the body carriers extra money so they could bury the body instead of leaving it to rot in the wilderness.
Zhou Qiuyuan cultivated at the Wei family residence until dusk before returning home.
Wang Sichen never showed up, as if what he saw in yesterday's dream was all an illusion.
However, Zhou Qiuyuan sensed that the danger had not disappeared.
Wang Sichen was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows; once he made a move, he was absolutely certain of delivering a fatal blow.
Zhou Qiuyuan returned home and began to cultivate quietly, not letting go of any opportunity to improve his strength.
He cultivated until midnight before finally falling into a deep sleep.
If you die in a dream in the future, will there be any unusual changes?
Zhou Qiuyuan slept soundly through the night. When he awoke, the rooster crowed at dawn, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Has the dream of the future vanished?
Zhou Qiuyuan's face was grim; his worst fears had come true!
Are future dreams just temporary?
Or will it disappear completely?
If it's the former, how many days will the dream disappear in the future?
If it is the latter, Zhou Qiuyuan will lose a powerful ability, and his path of cultivation will be much more difficult than before.
However, compared to when he first transmigrated, Zhou Qiuyuan has now become a body refiner and has reached the inner refinement stage, and he still has a chance to obtain a Dao soldier quota.
This is already much better than the start.
Regardless, life goes on.
After composing himself, Zhou Qiuyuan ate breakfast and arrived at the Wei family residence early.
The gates of the Wei residence were wide open, and Zhou Qiuyuan could vaguely hear conversations coming from the backyard.
He quickened his pace and saw a valiant woman carrying a crimson sword in the courtyard. She was in her early twenties, with long, fiery red hair that gave her a unique air.
She stood in front of the hanging flower gate, gazing at Zhou Qiuyuan.
Zhou Qiuyuan quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Greetings, Senior Sister."
The valiant woman paused slightly, then smiled, a hint of hearty humor in her eyes. "You must be Master Wei Xia's junior brother?"
"I am Gu Hongzhuang, a Dao soldier of Immortal Master Wei Xia."
Does Wei Xia already have Dao soldiers?
This is not good news for Zhou Qiuyuan.
It's true that good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.
Zhou Qiuyuan mustered his spirits, bowed to Gu Hongzhuang, and hurriedly went to the backyard.
"Father, don't hold a grudge against the dead."
"My daughter's cultivation has reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining. The sect has bestowed upon her a residence in the inner city. Father, you should move to the inner city to recuperate."
An unfamiliar female voice rang out from the main room.
Wei Jin sighed and said, "As you say, Chengping, you will also come with me to the inner city."
He has been staying in the courtyard, where he is reminded of painful memories, which only worsens his condition. It is time for him to move away from here.
If Wei and Jin enter the inner city, and Lu Chengping remains alone in the outer city, he will surely die. If the two of them move into the inner city together, they can at least look after each other.
Lu Chengping replied, "It's entirely up to Master to decide."
As soon as Zhou Qiuyuan reached the front of the main room, before he could even push the door open, the door opened by itself without any wind.
Wei Jin sat in the grand chair, his face no longer pale and sickly, but rosy and healthy, even better than when he first became a disciple.
Lu Chengping sat cautiously on the right, his demeanor reserved.
On the left was a cold and beautiful woman with her hair styled in a high bun, adorned with a phoenix hairpin, and dressed in a dark water Taoist robe. Her lips were slightly thin, and her eyes were long and narrow. As if sensing Zhou Qiuyuan's gaze, her eyes swept over him like knives.
This woman seems difficult to get along with...
Wei Xia spoke first: "You must be Zhou Qiuyuan, Master's newly accepted disciple!"
Zhou Qiuyuan cupped his hands in greeting and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Greetings, Senior Sister."
"How did you know that Luo Tong wanted to murder Master?" Wei Xia's eyes held a scrutinizing gaze. "Luo Tong isn't stupid; why would he let you know about this?"
Zhou Qiuyuan had already thought of a solution and replied, "I previously obtained a secret technique called 'Listening to the Wind' in the black market, which makes my hearing exceptionally sharp."
"The night before last, I went to the black market to look for secret techniques. I unexpectedly heard Luo Tong's voice at a stall in the distance, so I went to ask the stall owner. I learned that he had bought a poison called Frost."
"I suspected that this matter might involve my master, so I secretly followed him and overheard him and Qiu Niang plotting poisoning..."
Luo Tong had once gone to the black market to buy poison, and Zhou Qiuyuan used this as a basis to fabricate an answer that was half true and half false, making it difficult for people to see through.
Moreover, Luo Tong is dead, and no one has investigated this matter thoroughly for him.
The coldness on Wei Xia's face faded, and she stood up and bowed slightly to Zhou Qiuyuan. "I haven't thanked you yet for saving my father's life. I can't thank you enough for such a great kindness."
Zhou Qiuyuan returned the greeting with clasped hands, saying, "A teacher should be like a father; this is the duty of a disciple."
Wei Xia smiled and said, "Senior Sister has just advanced to the mid-stage of Qi Refining and has also obtained a Dao Soldier quota. This quota can be given to you. What do you think?"
Ah!
Zhou Qiuyuan met Wei Xia's Dao soldiers. He thought he had no chance of getting a Dao soldier quota, but the surprise came so suddenly.
"this……"
Zhou Qiuyuan did not respond immediately, but turned to look at Wei Jin.
Wei Jin nodded and said, "This is also what I wanted to say. Your talent is exceptional, and you will surely embark on the path of cultivation."
"After you become a Dao soldier, it will be easier for you to obtain immortal opportunities."
"You must strive to cultivate diligently in the future, and do not let down your teacher and your senior sister's good intentions."
Lu Chengping sat to the side, his face full of envy.
Zhou Qiuyuan thwarted Luo Tong's plot to poison and kill the master, and he knew he would never have a chance to compete with Zhou Qiuyuan again, so he was mentally prepared.
Wei Xia took out a dark black token with the words "Black Water Sect" on the front and "Wei Xia" on the back.
"Go back and say goodbye to your parents. After you have taken care of your family matters, you can use this token to enter the inner city, find the Blackwater Sect's headquarters, and someone will meet you there."
Zhou Qiuyuan reached out and took the black token, feeling that he was one step closer to the path of cultivation.
He bowed to Wei Jin and Wei Xia, saying, "Thank you, Master and Senior Sister. I will never forget this great kindness."
When Zhou Qiuyuan saw his master and senior sister discussing moving matters, he did not stay at the Wei residence any longer and quickly took his leave.
He needed to get home quickly and tell his parents the good news.
