You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 332 The Unsolvable Mystery
After the brothers Qiyuan Zhenren settled down, they checked the residences of Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng with concern.

After they asked Shi Xiaoliu and the other two a lot of questions seriously, and listened to their careful answers, the two finally felt much more relieved.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan quickly took the opportunity to return to their room, while Xia Yu stood on the edge of the mountain with Qi Yuan Zhenren's brothers and talked.

"Yu'er, the official road at the foot of the mountain is quite lively."

"Dad, when you came here, you also noticed the hustle and bustle at the foot of the mountain."

"Yeah, does it have any effect on you?"

"No, we have been very stable in the past few years."

"You and Xiaoliu's cultivation has improved greatly, but Sister Lan's cultivation has not improved much."

Xia Yu listened to Master Qicheng's words and lowered her head slightly: "Many times, her cultivation would enter a period of stagnation."

Qi Yuan Zhenren glanced at Qi Cheng Zhenren and said to Xia Yu, "You and Xiao Liu have done a good job in the past few years and have not passed on any news about Lan Jie'er to the sect."

"Father, Uncle, Sister Lan has been practicing diligently, but she is suppressed by the curse and her progress is slow."

Brother Qi Yuan looked at him and said, “We met with Sect Leader Wen this time, and he explained things to us.

Let's pay more attention to Lan Jie'er's cultivation and see if there are any other methods we can think of."

Xia Yu's eyes were filled with interest, and she said to Master Qi Yuan, "That's great. With the help of my father and uncle, Sister Lan's cultivation will surely improve greatly."

At night, the top of the mountain became quiet, and Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng chatted under the starry sky.

"Brother, do you think we can really help Lan Jie'er solve her current problem?"

"It's difficult. I can only think of another way to try."

"This time when we returned to the sect, Zizai Peak became even more low-key, and Master Pingyang almost never showed up to entertain anyone."

Qi Yuan Zhenren glanced at him and said: "Pingyang is a rare smart man.

He doesn't walk around casually, and people from the sect don't dare to bully people from Zizai Peak."

"Zizai Peak still has few people, but our Xia family still has a lot of people."

"So are you considering getting married now?"

Qi Cheng Zhenren immediately shook his head: "Brother, I only want to practice cultivation with all my heart. My father and mother and I have already made this decision."

"Father and mother won't force you, but my brother will be getting married soon."

"Brother, when I met Wanyu this time, she seemed to be much calmer than before."

"The Wan family's affairs are complicated. After she and Xia Yu couldn't succeed, the Wan family more or less gave up on her as a chess piece."

"If they were consistently good to Wanyu, I would actually look up to the Wan family.

The way they treat Wanyu now clearly shows that they do not take the Xia family seriously. After all, Wanyu is Qi Jun’s personal disciple.”

"Look, Wanyu is an ambitious person. This time I met her, she has made great progress and has become much more calm in her dealings with others."

The next day, when Shi Zelan woke up early and saw Master Qiyuan, she was still stunned for a moment, then walked forward to greet him.

Qi Yuan Zhenren looked at her and smiled. He raised his hand and said, "This is the clothes that Grandma Yu'er prepared for you."

Shi Zelan took it with surprise, then said with a smile, "I'm sorry to have troubled Grandma Xia."

Qi Yuan Zhenren smiled and said, "She likes to dress up like a little girl, but Yu'er is a boy and doesn't like to dress up in flashy clothes."

Xia Yu came out and heard what Master Qi Yuan said, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"Father, Sister Lan doesn't like to dress up."

Shi Zelan turned to look at him, then smiled and said to Qi Yuan Zhenren: "Uncle Master, I like it, but I don't need to dress too nicely on the top of the mountain." Qi Yuan Zhenren smiled and said to Xia Yu: "Yu'er, your grandmother understands the minds of little girls better than you do. Of course, you don't have to understand the minds of little girls either."

Shi Zelan nodded affirmatively: "Xia Yu, you treat me as a brother. If we are brothers, then naturally we should act boldly."

Master Qi Yuan laughed when he heard what Shi Zelan said. Some people in the Xia family were worried that Xia Yu and Shi Zelan would fall in love after spending a long time together.

After he arrived, he saw clearly that Shi Xiaoliu and the other two got along very well.

After Shi Xiaoliu came out of the room to pay his respects, Qi Yuan Zhenren said to the three of them, "Don't be influenced by us. Just follow your usual arrangements."

Shi Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Uncle Master, the three of us will go to the nearby mountains to collect herbs."

Master Qi Yuan nodded and watched the three of them go out from the back mountain.

When Master Qicheng came out, he asked, "Brother, where are Yu'er and the others?"

"Did they go to collect herbs?"

"Ah, there are so many people on and off the mountain, are they just going to leave like this?"

"They have lived on this mountain for many years and know more about the things on this mountain than we do."

"Brother, what are your plans recently?"

"I don't have any plans. I've been busy for several years. I don't want to think about anything recently. I just want to take a good rest."

"Brother, didn't you say you would take care of Sister Lan's cultivation?"

"No rush, let's wait and see what happens in a few days."

"Brother, did you discover something when we returned to the sect this time?"

Qi Yuan Zhenren glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

“Almost no one among the new disciples in the sect knows that Shanzheng has a direct disciple.”

Qi Yuan Zhenren didn't show any surprise on his face: "As long as the curse on Sister Lan is not broken, the people in charge of the sect don't want more people to know about Sister Lan's affairs."

"Is this a way to protect Sister Lan?"

"Most of it is true. The other half is probably that after Sister Lan left the sect, the people of Zizai Peak also tried to cover up the news about Sister Lan."

"If her parents knew that their daughter was ordinary, would they feel comfortable?"

“Who can I blame?
What can a child offend?"

Master Qicheng looked at Master Qiyuan's expression and whispered, "Brother, I think you are leaning towards Sister Lan now."

"When we were in the Northern Wilderness, Yu'er, Shi Xiaoliu, and Shi Zelan relied on each other and lived on this mountaintop for several years.

You say, in this situation, should our family be biased towards Sister Lan? "

"Brother, as long as Xia Yu and Lan Jie'er don't have other thoughts, our family will definitely favor Lan Jie'er."

"You watched them interact with each other yesterday. Do you think there is any ambiguity between them beyond the relationship between fellow apprentices and brothers?"

"No."

Master Qicheng carefully observed how Shi Xiaoliu and the other two got along with each other, and they felt that they had a harmonious relationship, as comfortable and at ease as family members.

"Brother, after Beichen and his wife come back, our family can't say much about their family affairs."

Most people in the Yunyan Sect firmly believe that Shi Beichen and his wife will definitely return to the sect.

But when they will be able to come back is still an unsolved mystery for now.
