Chapter 462 - 216: Qingzhu Enters the Mountain Gate! Yuan’Er Comes to Help!_2
Since there’s no problem with the chamber of commerce, let’s ask about the situation with Dad. I didn’t see him when I returned this time.
"Dad seems to be having meals with members of other families lately. He’s been running around everywhere for meals. He’s tired, but his face is all smiles, showing he’s really relaxed now," Wei Zhe said with a smile.
That’s good, Dad is fine, which is great. Then continued to ask, "What about Second Brother? How’s the situation on his side?"
"Your Second Brother has been taking care of your Second Sister-in-law lately, so he hasn’t left the yamen. Previously saw him once inside the yamen, he seemed to indicate that next spring he plans to take exams and possibly aims to genuinely live his life inside the yamen," Wei Zhe explained.
"That’s possible!" Yuchi was somewhat surprised that his Big Brother planned to proactively climb up within the yamen. Honestly, if his Big Brother becomes a well-known figure in the Imperial Decree Department, many of the chamber’s matters would become more smooth, without needing his support from behind.
"Of course, since you chopped off his little finger, he’s been as honest as a baby," Wei Zhe said with a carefree laugh.
Later on, the whole family gathered for a meal, except Second Brother Wei Fei who wasn’t back, everyone else was present, naturally including Wei Yuan and Wei Qingzhu. After seeing Yuchi return, both felt immense relief, even without talking, his presence provided unparalleled comfort.
Little Ximo hung onto Yuchi’s neck and wouldn’t let go, it was a harmonious family scene.
The next day.
Yuchi found Wei Qingzhu.
Wei Qingzhu was pondering over some clothing matters, but upon seeing Yuchi enter, she immediately put down the clothes in her hands and looked at the young man standing in front of her.
It’s best not to close the door, to avoid misunderstandings. Even though in Xun Xian’s eyes, Yuchi is seen as an old lecher...
"Qingzhu, do you think you’re ready to cultivate now?" Yuchi sat down, smiling straightforwardly as he asked.
"Cultivate..."
Wei Qingzhu was momentarily stunned. She was just thinking about learning clothing making when suddenly her Big Brother Yuchi came to discuss cultivation. Cultivation...
When she first met Yuchi, she desperately wanted to cultivate, an intense desire to cultivate quickly to avenge her parents, but her Big Brother Yuchi had rejected her request.
She stayed in the small town of Xufu because Yuchi saved her, hoping the year would pass quickly to start cultivating. But over time, she didn’t know what changed, her hatred seemed to fade, and her obsession with cultivation waned...
From eagerly waiting for the year to hurry by to now accepting fate, doing things she enjoyed, it seems like quite a transformation.
She momentarily dazed, realizing the change is quite significant, Yuchi smiled without urging, and continued:
"Here’s the thing, if you want to cultivate now, I can immediately send you to the sect for cultivation, along with other disciples there. You can train together then."
"But if you’re not in a rush to cultivate, you can continue living at the Wei Family Mansion."
"It all depends on what you think."
Wei Qingzhu sat on a small wooden stool, contemplating for a while, various expressions flashed in her eyes.
After a while, she looked at the calm young man before her and resolutely nodded, saying, "Big Brother Yuchi, I’d still like to cultivate. Even though vengeance may not be immediate, I cannot slack off. Otherwise, the culprits who forced me to flee will remain at large."
"Alright."
Yuchi agreed without any objection: "Then pack up. I’ll take you to the sect shortly."
Wei Qingzhu nodded firmly: "Mm!"
She started to pack some of her belongings. There were quite a few miscellaneous items, while Yuchi brushed the snow off the stone bench in the courtyard and sat there steeping tea.
For Yuchi, he felt Wei Qingzhu was ready now, no need to delay further. Moreover, he’d be away from the Wei Mansion for a long time, leaving a cultivator seedling like Wei Qingzhu at the Wei Family wouldn’t be ideal.
He intended to take Wei Qingzhu to participate in the grand sect competition so she could witness its harshness, preventing her from fixating solely on revenge. While the Wei Family offered some warmth, they should also reveal the brutal world of cultivators.
Xun Xian brought a flask of wine as she walked in, deliberately stopping by Yuchi’s house, initially intending to play with little Ximo but coincidentally turned back.
"Yuchi, are you silly sitting in the courtyard drinking tea on a cold winter day?" She curiously stepped closer.
In Xun Xian’s eyes, Yuchi is just a mortal, directly sitting on the cold stone bench, not fearing injury? Could he be a stout-hearted person, therefore unbothered by the cold?
