Chapter 227: No Time to Lose
Wu Lingxue sent Yu Congrong and the other two away, took out a communication card, and sent a message to Ye Xingci.

Ye Xingci was leading a thorough investigation of the sect when he received the message from Wu Lingxue. His brows instantly frowned. Wei Qinglan had come out of seclusion and was actually going to Taiyi to take Jiang Lisheng away?
Why did he take Jiang Lisheng away?
Why did he pick the person up himself?
Ye Xingci's mind was unstable for a moment. He held the communication card tightly with his fingers clenched. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Uncle Wizard, I will go to the Zongwu Hall to look for you now."

Seeing that he really cared, Wu Lingxue could only nod and said, "Okay, come on."

Ye Xingci instructed his men to continue the thorough investigation, and he flew to the Zongwu Hall on his sword.

In the sect hall, Wu Lingxue brewed two cups of spiritual tea. Seeing Ye Xingci coming, she pushed one to him. Without waiting for him to speak, she called Yu Congrong, Chu Bitumen and Jiang Lisheng to explain that they would be leaving Taiyi the next day. She also mentioned that Yu Congrong had told her about Wei Qinglan asking her to take care of Jiang Lisheng. Naturally, she also mentioned that Wei Qinglan happened to send a message to Jiang Lisheng, saying that he would come to pick her up.

Ye Xingci listened quietly without saying a word to interrupt Wu Lingxue.

After Wu Lingxue finished speaking, she took a sip of tea and sighed softly, "Xingci, I saw with my own eyes that Jiang Lisheng, that little girl, was very happy when she received the message from Wei Qinglan. You may be too late. And Wei Qinglan, after coming out of seclusion, the first person she looked for was her, which is also obvious."

Ye Xingci raised his eyes, "Uncle Wu, is it really too late? You also met Master Qingxu Yu late back then. Until now, isn't there no one else around Master Yu?"

"But there's no me either." Wu Lingxue sighed again, "Yu Wuchen looks weird, but his heart is very hard, like a lump of iron. His disciple, I think, has a soft personality. She has a deep friendship with Wei Qinglan, and I'm afraid they have already formed an indissoluble friendship."

"Not necessarily. Junior Sister Jiang is probably the same as Sect Master Yu in her bones. After all, she was taught by Sect Master Yu." Although Ye Xingci had not had much contact with Jiang Lisheng, he thought he had understood her a little bit in such a short time.

When Wu Lingxue heard him say this, she knew that he didn't want to retreat, so she said, "She's leaving soon. Three to five days won't allow you to develop a deep relationship with her. If it were someone else, you might be able to keep her in Taiyi, but the person who came is Wei Qinglan. I'm not trying to boost his ambitions and destroy my own prestige. His Nascent Soul is now stable, and he's better than you in every way. He also has a deep friendship with that little girl and they're involved in many things. In comparison, I'm afraid you can't compare to him, and that little girl will naturally be inclined to him."

Ye Xingci was silent.

"Unless Wei Qinglan can't come, or unless Jiang Lisheng can't leave." Wu Lingxue didn't mind using some tricks. Thinking back to the past, he had used a lot of tricks on Yu Wuchen, overtly and covertly. Although he didn't get her, others didn't get her either. She didn't think there was anything wrong with it. As long as others didn't get her either, it would be fine for him to remain single.

Ye Xingci whispered, "Uncle Wizard, this is not the behavior of a gentleman."

Wu Lingxue laughed angrily, "Are you still upholding the gentleman's demeanor? Do you want to compete openly with Wei Qinglan? Xingci, don't be stupid. Otherwise, just listen to me and quit and let go of that little girl. Anyway, you don't have to worry about girls liking you. Our Taiyi girls are all beautiful and there are many people who like you. My apprentice is also talented. If she didn't like you, she wouldn't have made stupid mistakes repeatedly. And Qu Chiqiao is the most beautiful girl, even prettier than Lan Fengling. In terms of appearance, Jiang Lisheng is not as eye-catching as them. And Uncle Master Wen also doesn't allow you to be involved in love, which just happens to be what he wants, and you should devote yourself to Taoism."

Ye Xingci shook his head. Wu Lingxue pointed out bluntly, "In the competition back then, you were a little short of Wei Qinglan. Now he is a Nascent Soul, and you are a Golden Core. The gap is not that small anymore. In terms of appearance, although I have never seen Wei Qinglan, I have heard that you are both equally good. In terms of temperament, you are gentle and more approachable. But I just heard him and Jiang Lisheng communicate, and he is not as cold and distant as others say. He is casual and casual. His master is in seclusion now, and everyone in Kunlun follows his lead. Even Yu Congrong listens to him. At least, now it seems that you are not as good as him. Although Lu Shaoling's tone is arrogant, he is not entirely wrong. Wei Qinglan is more eye-catching. Girls will naturally pursue more eye-catching people, especially when this person has a close relationship with her and has been involved for a long time."

Ye Xingci said nothing.

Wu Lingxue was already thirsty after speaking so much, so she stopped to drink tea and wait for him to make his own decision. She watched Ye Xingci grow up, and apart from his cultivation, she didn't think Ye Xingci was any worse than Wei Qinglan. The reason she said that was that she actually wanted him to quit.

The taste of love is hard to describe. She has experienced it for thousands of years and does not want to let Taiyi's most promising youngster experience the pain of not getting what he wants.

Although Master Uncle Wen was overbearing, he was right about one thing: Taiyi was a romantic man. They all liked Qingxu for some reason. Could it be that Qingxu's feng shui was better than Taiyi's? Was he better at nurturing people?

"My most important thing now is to improve my cultivation." Ye Xingci was silent for a long time, and finally spoke in a calm voice, "Uncle Wizard, there is still a long way to go, I will not rush."

He paused, then added: "I don't want to lose my gentlemanly demeanor. If Junior Sister Jiang knew about this, she would look down on me."

Wu Lingxue felt emotional. She didn't know whether to praise this child for his good character or to call him stupid. Everything else in this world can be explained by reason, except feelings. Since he doesn't even have reason, how can he talk about being a gentleman?
But she had said everything she should say and reminded him of something she should have. It was impossible for him to be a gentleman and she, as his elder, would really instigate him to deal with Wei Qinglan in secret?
She put down the teacup and smiled sincerely, "Well, since you have made up your mind, then do it according to your own ideas. After all, even if Master Uncle tried every means, he could not get what he wanted. With my experience, you really don't have to follow my old path. Come to think of it, I don't have much experience to talk about, and I'm not much better than you. The only thing I can show off over the years is indeed my cultivation. You have Master Uncle Grandfather Wen by your side to teach you personally, and it's just a matter of time for you to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. There is no need to be impatient and lose your cultivation and temperament just because Wei Qinglan is now a Nascent Soul. You just need to know what you should do most at the moment."

Ye Xingci nodded, "Thank you, Uncle Master, I know."

Wu Lingxue patted his shoulder and said in a gentle tone, "Go and do your work! The thief's work is serious and cannot be delayed."

Ye Xingci nodded, stood up and left the clan hall.
