Chapter 47: Chapter Forty-Eight: Qing Wu Wronged

Since their first meeting at the Great Stone Formation, this is the second time they have seen each other. Qing Ling still has the same cool-looking, aloof yet slightly playful girlish appearance. This is still Wei Yuning's first impression of her as a little immortal maiden, and he has always felt something special toward this senior sister.

"Yuning, Martial Uncle Hongzhi has already told me about your background!" Qing Ling said.

"Oh!"

"I didn't expect your talent to be this good; you've reached Foundation Establishment so quickly!" Qing Ling continued.

"Just luck!"

"Don't worry, as long as you're inside the sect, no one can cause you trouble; if someone does, you can ask me for help!" Saying this, Qing Ling suddenly leaned close to Wei Yuning's ear and whispered, "Dao Min is my family's founding ancestor. Immortals and demons cannot coexist; our cultivation is still too low now. When our cultivation reaches completion, we will join forces to kill this demon assassin, then go to the foreign battlefield to specialize in killing demonic cultivators."

If anyone else had said that, Wei Yuning would surely have retorted, but seeing Qing Ling's sincere gaze, his heart was stirred and he exclaimed excitedly, "Good, it's a deal!"

Their hands clasped tightly together.

Good news stays behind closed doors; bad news travels far.

After returning to Medicine Peak, the news that Wei Yuning had almost been expelled from the sect spread everywhere. Apart from the senior leadership, most of the fellow disciples didn't know the details of this decision, and they all suspected that Qing Wu was behind the foul play.

Losing in sparring among fellow disciples is common, but secretly striking at an opponent is rather sneaky. Qing Wu's injuries hadn't fully healed, and he was also blocked and cursed by many fellow disciples, leaving him naturally feeling wronged.

A group of acquaintances came to his door to comfort him; among Wei Yuning's friends, aside from the disciples of the Medicine Hall, most were new companions he had met at the Marriage Alliance Convention.

Among the top ten of the Marriage Alliance Convention Martial Arts Tournament, four came: one was Qing Sha from the Heaven Sword Hall, and the other three were Qing Ren, Qing Li, and Qing Fu from the Overlord Blade Hall. All the female cultivators of the Azure Phoenix Sect have already returned to their mountain gate; following past custom, the male cultivators of the Cloud Hidden Sect must first reside at the Azure Phoenix Sect for three years before both sides decide where to settle, or otherwise continue cultivating separately. However, this is not a rigid rule; if there are special circumstances, exceptions can be made.

It was not until dusk that Wei Yuning finally saw off the last group of people.

"Cultivation is no easy thing; although lifespan has increased on the surface, the risk has also increased at the same time. If it weren't for Founding Ancestor Dao Min stepping in timely, I would truly have been expelled from the sect. Once out of the sect, could this Tang Seng's flesh escape the pursuit of the great demon? Moreover, there is actually a group of demon leaders' insiders within the sect; it seems I'll have to be even more careful inside the sect from now on." Wei Yuning rested his head on his hands and thought silently.

Cultivation is not easy; although one's lifespan increases on the surface, the risk also increases at the same time. If it weren't for Elder Ancestor Dao Min stepping in promptly this time, I would probably really be expelled from the sect. Once expelled from the sect, can this Tang Monk's flesh of mine still escape the pursuit of the great demon? Moreover, there is actually a group of demons' insiders within the sect; it seems I will have to be even more careful inside the sect from now on. Wei Yuning rested his head on his hands, thinking silently.
