Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Zhou Chengwen was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his sister to answer so decisively, "But you two have only known each other for a few days, how could this be?" "Brother, just don't ask. I don't even know." Zhou Qingxue grabbed her brother's sleeve and talked for a long time to usher him away. In the sect, many female cultivators of her age already had their Dao companions. She didn't want to form any marriage alliances with practitioners from other sects or prestigious families. After leaving Zhou Qingxue, Zhou Chengwen still felt uncertain. He turned and went to his mother Yao Xintong's residence. When Yao Xintong saw him return, she smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Did Qingxue finish all the snacks? If she wants more, I can make some again." "It's not because of that, Mother. It seems like Qingxue has someone she likes," Zhou Chengwen hesitated and ended up telling Yao Xintong about Zhou Qingxue's situation. "What, Qingxue likes someone? Is it a male cultivator or a female cultivator? What is their character like?" Yao Xintong was somewhat absent-minded. She always considered Qingxue as a child who knew nothing, but now she realized her daughter had reached the age to find a Dao companion. Zhou Chengwen glanced at Yao Xintong and said, "His name is Wei Zhao. He's a new disciple who recently entered the inner sect. He has achieved the cultivation level of golden core completion and has great potential in cultivation. As for his character, I don't know him well, so I'm not sure." Yao Xintong nodded, "Alright, when I have some free time, I'll go see that child. The rest doesn't matter, as long as he is a good person and treats Qingxue well." Only after Zhou Chengwen finished speaking to Yao Xintong did he breathe a sigh of relief. Yao Xintong, seeing Zhou Chengwen leave, gradually became overshadowed by a worried expression. On the other side, Song Weizhi and Song Zhixia had already returned to their residence. After a day of cultivation at the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, Song Weizhi's alarm bells started ringing again in her heart. Here, an elder could reach the Foundation Establishment stage, which was two realms higher than her. If something really happened, how could she protect her little niece? Song Weizhi took a leave of absence and instructed Wei Zhao, then set up a barrier in the room, and she and Song Zhixia began to elevate their cultivation. Song Zhixia had broken through to the Golden Core stage in the secret realm and couldn't break through another realm in a short time, or she might attract others' suspicion. Song Weizhi's cultivation was inscrutable to others, they only thought her to be at the peak of Golden Core stage. Thus, Song Weizhi planned to quickly break through during these days. She checked her system points, which amounted to 1400, and gritted her teeth, exchanging 1000 points for cultivation-enhancing pills. "Congratulations, host, the exchange of pills is successful, and there are 400 points remaining." The mechanical voice of the system sounded in Song Weizhi's mind. She retrieved the original book and found that after the original owner and Song Weizhi arrived at the Cold Mountain Sword Sect, the events in the original book were trivial. Later, the female protagonist was framed and pushed into the Bloodthirsty Cliff, but now, her days in the Cold Mountain Sword Sect were peaceful. Song Weizhi was puzzled and asked the system, "Is it because of my presence, that the plot in the original book has been affected?" "Yes, host, because in Laihai City, you had already altered many events from the original book, so the plot has already deviated from its original track, and only you can explore what will happen next. The system also doesn't know what will happen next," the system replied. Song Weizhi nodded. After exchanging the pills, she began her cultivation. Although Song Zhixia wanted to get closer to Song Weizhi, she knew she couldn't disturb her senior sister's cultivation. Moreover, she wanted to be able to protect Song Weizhi soon. Therefore, she also cultivated diligently. At this point, only Wei Zhao was left. Taking a leave of absence, she guarded Song Weizhi and Song Zhixia day and night, fearing something would happen to them. She even turned down Qingxue's invitations several times. More than ten days had passed since they entered seclusion, and Qingxue couldn't help but come to find Wei Zhao. She flew over on her sword and saw Wei Zhao sitting in front of Song Weizhi's door cushion, and she couldn't help but get angry. "You have no time to accompany me, but you have time to guard your master here? How long have you been here to guard Song Weizhi?" Qingxue came over, speaking in a frustrated tone. Wei Zhao stood up. She wondered what had gotten into Young Miss. "Of course, my master is cultivating inside, so I must be here to guard," Wei Zhao said matter-of-factly. "Master, master, master, do you know anything else besides your master?" Qingxue was also a little angry. From childhood to adulthood, she always turned down others, and this was the first time someone had refused her so many times. It made her feel like she was forcing herself on others. "My life was given to me by my master. Without her, there is no me. Of course, I should prioritize everything for my master," Wei Zhao explained. She was the bodyguard her master had drawn from the blind box. If it wasn't for her master, she'd still be in the dark box and wouldn't have seen the light of day. However, she couldn't say these things to Qingxue. When Qingxue heard Wei Zhao say that, her eyes turned red. If she did so much and still couldn't attract Wei Zhao's attention, and Wei Zhao's first consideration was her master, then what difference did her actions make compared to being a clown in Wei Zhao's eyes? Thinking this, Qingxue, with tears in her eyes, said, "Fine, I won't bother you in the future. You can spend your life with your master." With that, tears fell from her eyes as she turned and ran outside. Back in the room, Song Weizhi, after more than ten days of cultivation and the effect of the exchanged pills, had reached the Foundation Establishment stage completion, which was a full realm higher than her previous Golden Core stage. However, she was still a little worried because this level of cultivation wasn't enough in Jimo City. After hearing Wei Zhao's conversation with Qingxue, every word fell on Song Weizhi's ears. Finally, after circulating her spiritual power through her meridians, she opened her eyes and used her spiritual power to scan the next room, where she found the young girl still cultivating. Song Weizhi got up and pushed open the door. Wei Zhao saw Song Weizhi coming over and immediately got up, saying, "Master, how did it go?" Song Weizhi smiled and patted Wei Zhao's shoulder, setting up a barrier around the two of them. "Not bad. Do you think there's something different about yourself?" "Different?" Wei Zhao looked at Song Weizhi in puzzlement, then let her spiritual power flow through her body, only to discover that the Golden Core in her dantian had turned into a little doll, sitting obediently in her dantian. Wei Zhao, with no expression on her face, smiled and said, "Master, have you reached the Foundation Establishment completion stage?" Song Weizhi nodded and said, "I don't know why, ever since we came to Jimo City, I've felt uneasy. The Foundation Establishment stage cultivation isn't enough. I need to practice more." Song Weizhi seemed to think of something and continued, "I heard you upset Qingxue just now?" Wei Zhao pursed her lips and said, somewhat awkwardly, "It's not that I upset her. She called me several times these days, and I refused every time, so I was busy with important matters." Song Weizhi chuckled and said, "Alright, go and make amends with her. I heard her crying inside just now. Also, in the future, don't prioritize me in everything. You have your own life too." "Huh? But my life is to protect you." Wei Zhao looked puzzled. Song Weizhi sighed and smiled, "You'll understand later. Go and cheer her up. If you don't cheer her up, you can't come back." This put Wei Zhao in a dilemma. She could go to fight, and she could kill, but she couldn't really console people. "Well, how do I console her? Can you teach me?" Wei Zhao looked troubled. Song Weizhi teased Wei Zhao. While she was good at killing demonic beasts, she was now struggling with consoling Qingxue. Song Weizhi, jokingly, said, "When I console Zhixia, I usually hug her and kiss her. Why don't you try that?" Holding back her laughter, she said teasingly. As the words fell, Song Weizhi saw Wei Zhao's head shake like a rattle. Did she want to be beaten to death by Miss if she hugged her and kissed her? "Alright, I'm just kidding. Take the little Golden Core doll from your dantian and show it to Qingxue, and say a few kind words." "Is that going to work?" Wei Zhao asked with some uncertainty. "It'll definitely work. Normally, people don't take out their Golden Core for others to see. By doing this, it shows that you consider Qingxue as a friend. She'll be happy, and besides, those with a higher cultivation than you can sense it, so there's no need to hide it." Song Weizhi explained. Upon hearing this, Wei Zhao immediately went to find Qingxue, while Song Weizhi sat in front of the girl's room, guarding her. When Wei Zhao arrived at Qingxue's small courtyard, she found that there were already a man and a woman in the courtyard. Zhou Chengwen, of course, also saw her and wanted to rush over to beat her, but was stopped by the woman beside him. "Wei, you made my sister so upset, and you still have the nerve to come over?" Zhou Chengwen's chest heaved. "I didn't mean to upset her just now. I came to apologize, okay?" "You're still trying to act tough? I'll beat you up, and then you'll know better," Zhou Chengwen said as he tried to move forward, but was blocked by the woman beside him. "Chengwen, don't overstep," she said with a smile. Then, she turned to Wei Zhao and said, "I'm Qingxue's mother. This child has had a strong personality since childhood. It's best to let the involved parties deal with it. I'd like to trouble Miss Wei to go and have a look." Upon hearing that she was Qingxue's mother, Wei Zhao immediately became respectful. "Aunt, you're too kind. I haven't even thanked you for the snacks you've made for us. I'll go in and take a look now." Yao Xintong watched Wei Zhao and felt that the child was upright and good-looking just by her demeanor alone, no wonder she caught her daughter Qingxue's eye. "Mother, just let her go in like this? What about us?" Zhou Chengwen asked. "Let's go back. You know your sister's temper; finally, there's someone who can coax her," Yao Xintong said with a smile as she took Zhou Chengwen's hand and left.
