Chapter 113 Subpoena
Everyone on the entire flying boat was silent.
Zhu Wenyin had clearly concealed the fact that Jiang Lisheng was in Wei Qinglan's room. She didn't know how Zhao Kexin saw it and knew that they were in the same room. She took a deep breath in her heart for a moment.
Zhao Kexin pointed at Zhu Wenyin, "Senior sister is still hiding it for them, but don't forget, you and I grew up together, how could you hide it from me? When I wanted to find Jiang Lisheng, your expression told me that Jiang Lisheng was not in the other room at all."
Zhu Wenyin didn't expect that her junior sister would use all her cleverness here, and she was speechless for a moment.
Zhao Kexin mocked An Ruxu again, "Brother An, you don't like me, you like Jiang Lisheng, but does she like you? She thinks highly of herself and has her own way of seducing people, otherwise why would she seduce you when she first came to Kunlun, and then seduce Junior Brother Wei when you were not around."
An Ruxu was so angry that she almost died. "Junior Sister Zhao, you said such harsh words. Are you afraid that you are living too comfortably? You can talk nonsense about Junior Sister Jiang and me, but how can you talk nonsense about her and Junior Brother Wei? Haven't you been whipped enough? You never learn your lesson again and again."
Zhao Kexin's face was grim. "That's the truth. Why don't you let people talk about it? Even Junior Brother Wei can't stop people from talking about it, right? If he has nothing to do with Jiang Lisheng, why are they locked up in a room? My Senior Sister is here too, why don't you let her stay in another room to look after Jiang Lisheng? How can they be innocent? And you don't let people talk about it."
"Brother Wei, there were hundreds of thunder tribulations this time, which implicated Sister Jiang. She was seriously injured and unconscious. It is said that she was struck by lightning and turned into a bloody person. I am still injured now, and I have no more elixirs. I used them all up in the secret realm. I don't know any medical skills, so how can I take care of her? Sister, you have to know that Sister Jiang is not only a new disciple of Kunlun this year, she was sent by Qingxu, and the sect master asked you to take care of her. Brother Wei is afraid that something will happen to her, so he consolidates his cultivation while taking care of Sister Jiang himself. What's wrong with that? It's not like what you said, there is any difference between men and women. If something happens to Sister Jiang, how can we in Kunlun explain to Sect Master Yu of Qingxu?" Zhu Wenyin took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and stated the pros and cons. She didn't expect that one day, Wei Qinglan would treat Jiang Lisheng differently, and she would not say it out loud. Instead, she would cover it up for others and protect them in turn.
She didn't know what would happen in the future, and what would happen if the sect master and the elders knew about this, but now, she couldn't let this matter spread among the disciples and become known to everyone.
She couldn't tell whether she was grateful to Wei Qinglan and Jiang Lisheng for saving her life, or whether she was doing it for the sect's favored talent to prevent him from being bullied by rumors.
"That's right, Junior Sister Zhao, don't let your mind be so messy that you start to think too much about others." An Ruxu rarely said harsh words. She was always kind and smiling to others. Now she was really annoyed.
"Yes, Senior Sister Zhao, as fellow disciples, we should naturally take care of each other. When we were in the secret realm, there was no difference between men and women. If we can kill ferocious beasts together, we can survive together. If everything is like what you said, I won't dare to talk to you when I see you in the future." said a new disciple.
"Yes, Senior Sister Zhao, Senior Brother Wei is devoted to cultivation. In a short period of time, he has advanced from the late Jindan stage to the Yuanying stage. How could he be the kind of person who indulges in love? You should not interfere with his cultivation." Someone also said.
"Yes, Senior Sister Zhao, stop talking." Everyone echoed and asked Zhao Kexin to shut up.
When Zhao Kexin saw that no one was on her side, she burst into tears out of anger.
Zhu Wenyin didn't coax her, and no one else did. Her cries could be heard throughout the entire flying boat. She felt aggrieved and angry.
Jiang Lisheng was in a deep sleep, and showed no signs of waking up. Even when there was a lot of noise outside the room, and even when Zhao Kexin cried, she could not be woken up. Wei Qinglan stopped meditating expressionlessly, turned his head to look at Jiang Lisheng who was sleeping very soundly on his bed, covered with a thin blanket, breathing evenly. He withdrew his gaze and simply stopped meditating. He did not take out the sword manual to study like before, but lazily lay down on the soft couch and closed his eyes.
Even after hearing what Zhao Kexin said, he had no intention of going out to explain to anyone.
After a while, the communication cards flashed several times in succession. He opened his eyes and took them out to see that there were cards from Yunduan, Mo Ruyan, and Taiyi Chen Liuan. Yunduan asked him where he was? Mo Ruyan asked him when he would return to the sect? Chen Liuan said that he had left the secret realm and was with Taiyi's fellow disciples. He said that he was safe and asked him how he and Jiang Lisheng were doing.
After he replied one by one, another light appeared. It was Yu Wuchen, the leader of Qingxu. He heard from somewhere that Jiang Lisheng was with him and asked where they were now. He sent someone to pick him up and said that Jiang Lisheng didn't need to go to Kunlun anymore.
Kunlun and Qingxu are not close to each other. If you want to avoid Qingxu’s people having to make another trip, it would be best to meet them halfway.
Wei Qinglan held the communication card and paused for a long time before replying, "Uncle Yu, Junior Sister Jiang is now unconscious. Her soul palace was damaged and she lost all her spiritual power. It has something to do with me. Why don't she go back to Kunlun with me first? I will try to find a way to restore her soul palace. It's hard to explain it in a few words. Why don't I wait until she wakes up and settle a few matters in the sect, and then send her back to Qingxu in person to report to Uncle Yu. What do you think?"
Yu Wuchen's message also took a while, and then he said: "Lost all her spiritual power? It's not a big deal, she often loses all her spiritual power and falls into a coma. You just need to tell me the place and I will send someone to pick her up. Don't bother me, nephew. She has been in Kunlun for so long and has caused a lot of trouble to Kunlun. Now it's time for me to come back. Of course, if you have time after you finish handling Kunlun's affairs, you can also come to Qingxu. Uncle will prepare the best wine to entertain you."
Wei Qinglan frowned, and after a moment, she finally said, "Okay."
He sent out the address, stopped the flying boat, and waited there.
Yu Wuchen replied quickly this time, "I'll be there in a day."
Putting down the communication board, Wei Qinglan looked at Jiang Lisheng again. The little girl, whose wounds and blood were healed by him, had a fair and tender face. She had been pouting after sleeping for so many days, probably because she was very dissatisfied with being struck by lightning and had serious sequelae.
He closed his eyes again. Uncle Yu sent someone to pick him up, so there was no reason for him not to let him go. If he told him that he had the time to go to Qingxu, he also felt that he shouldn't have the time, right?
Everyone noticed that the flying boat suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at each other, none of them understood what had happened.
Shan Gao looked down at the flying boat and said, "Hey, we have arrived at the Bing Mountain. There is a kind of tree growing in this mountain. It looks like the stinking toon tree, its leaves are like the sycamore tree, and it bears pods called 茇, which can be used to poison fish."
He rubbed his hands together, "We were killed by those fish. I guess they have called the flying boat to stop so that we can go down to catch them." He urged Zhu Wenyin, "The flying boat has stopped, why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
Zhu Wenyin glanced at the tightly closed door, thinking that this might be what Junior Brother Wei meant, and nodded, "Let's go."
