Actually, he hadnāt planned to talk about this groundless rumor since its truthfulness still needed verification, but now that heās leaving, who knows when heāll be back in Cangwu City.
If he doesnāt mention it, it seems unfair to Wen Ping. Which child doesnāt long for their parents? If someone doesnāt, they just havenāt told outsiders. The stronger a person is, the more likely they have a vulnerable side in their heart.
"Xue Qianqian?" Wen Ping was momentarily confusedāsince when did his mother become Xue Qianqian?
Isnāt his mother named Long Xue?
"Oh..." Wen Ping realized that his mother must be using an alias when traveling in Heaven and Earth Lake. "Go ahead."
"More than half a year ago, when I returned to Zimo Lake, I had a drink with the Hundred Sects Allianceās Grand Chief there. I donāt remember how much I drank, but he got drunk, and during our chat, he mentioned something. A Mountain Suppression Realm expert had once asked about Xue Qianqian. At that time, Zimo Lake was buzzing with talk that Xue Qianqian was at East Lake, married to a man named Wen Yan, so thatās what he told that Mountain Suppression Realm expert."
"Who is that Mountain Suppression Realm expert, where did he come from?"
Heaven and Earth Lake consists of 108 lakes and is vast.
But those possessing the Mountain Suppression Realm must be a Four-star Influence.
Biyue Piaoling continued, "I donāt know exactly where heās from, but my friend recognized the clothing he wore. He belongs to a Four-star Influence named Iron Mountain Pavilion at Xuanse Lake. My friend was very impressed; when the Mountain Suppression Realm expert mentioned Xue Qianqian, he warned my friend not to talk about todayās events; otherwise, Zimo Lakeās Hundred Sects Alliance would vanish."
"Iron Mountain Pavilion." Wen Ping silently remembered the name of this influence, then suddenly found the name Xuanse Lake very familiar. "Right, the girl Lin Kewu liked, the place she went to was Xuanse Lake."
Instinctively, Wen Ping asked, "Xuanse Lake is very close to our East Lake, right?"
"Yes, just across Zimo Lake. If Sect Leader Wen needs anything, I can inquire about Iron Mountain Pavilion after returning to Zimo Lake." Such a small favor that could also win the favor of Wen Ping was something he, naturally, hurried to do.
"Thank you for the trouble."
Given that a Four-star Influence is involved, Wen Ping didnāt have many options.
The Evil Spirit Knight, after two upgrades, is still only at Half-Step Mountain Suppression, far from the Mountain Suppression Realm. As for the Flood Dragon, it canāt leave the Hundred Sects Allianceās territory, so it certainly canāt help outside.
The only one likely to offer help quickly would be the Palace Guard.
"Sect Leader Wen is too polite. Iāll take my leave then. Farewell." Biyue Piaoling cupped his fists, adding, "As soon as there is news, Iāll send someone to inform Sect Leader Wen immediately, so please donāt worry."
Wen Ping nodded, "Alright, Iāll see you off."
After seeing Biyue Piaoling off in Cangwu City, Wen Ping remained standing outside the city without moving.
However, since the man took his parents without causing excessive harm to the Immortal Sect, the chance of seeking revenge didnāt seem great. The only possibility Wen Ping could think of was his motherās, Long Xueās, family.
After all, his father had picked a cabbage.
The one who planted the cabbage certainly wasnāt happy.
Of course, this was just one possibility; there were other less favorable possibilities Wen Ping dared not consider.
Because his current power was still too weak.
Although the Immortal Sect was not afraid of any Three-star Influence, they were still somewhat lacking compared to Four-star Influences.
"Sect Leader Wen, would you like me to escort you back?" At an unknown time, Murong Xi had appeared beside him.
"No need."
Wen Ping turned and left.
Upon Wen Pingās return to the Immortal Sect, Biyue Piaoling returned to Zimo Lake a few days later. As an ancestor, his return stirred a great commotion within the family; all the Grand Elders and the Clan Leader came to welcome him.
After all, as the founding figure, only Biyue Piaoling was still alive.
In a certain sense, Biyue Piaoling was like a monument, a spiritual faith.
Biyue Zan, the current Clan Leader of the Biyue Family.
A fifty-year-old man, normally the most authoritative within the family, but at this moment, facing his grandfather, he could only adopt the stance of a junior, even personally helping Biyue Piaoling.
"Iām not dying of old age yet." Biyue Piaoling directly shook off Biyue Zanās hand, "Alright, all of you go back... By the way, whereās Biyue Yi, that kid? I came back, and he didnāt even come to greet me?"
Lu Ye smiled wryly at the side, glancing at Biyue Zan, saying nothing.
Biyue Zan didnāt hide, immediately waving to the many branch elders, "Youāre dismissed. Tonight we feast, come promptly... Grandfather, that little one has been busy lately. As soon as he comes home, heās clamoring to join a Sect. Do you think the Biyue Family is inferior to other Three-star Sects or Academies? Must he go to other influences."
"Hold your tongue." Biyue Piaoling was walking while glancing at Lu Ye beside him. Lu Ye had been following Biyue Yi daily and knew the truth about the matter best. "Lu Ye, whatās going on?"
Lu Ye quickly responded, "The Young Clan Leader wants to go to the Immortal Sect, but the Clan Leader forbids it... so the Young Clan Leader has been confined for reflection."
Biyue Zan hurriedly added, "Heās the one to take over the Biyue Family in the future, can learn everything here; why bother going to those influences to become a direct disciple of an Elder? After three or five years, he wonāt learn anything..."
Biyue Yi immediately interrupted Biyue Zan.
"Have you heard him talk about that Sect?"
"He did mention... a Starless Sect." Biyue Zan laughed wryly, secretly thinking, Even if Biyue Yi, like others, doesnāt enjoy growing under his fatherās wing, wanting to carve out his own path, does he have to go to such a Starless Sect?
"Fine, take me to see that kid. Anyway, if he wants to leave, you mustnāt hold him back."
With that, Biyue Piaoling firmly strode into the mansion.
This scene left the Elders and top members of the family baffled.
What was the ancestor playing at?
If they didnāt stop him, and if Biyue Yi didnāt turn out well in the future, who would manage the Biyue Family?
As they walked, Biyue Zan couldnāt help but speak, "Grandfather, I hope you contemplate this matter... itās not a joke. You just have one precious son; I only have one precious grandson... If he wants to venture out, at least join a Four-star Influence, why join a Starless Sect?"
"Have you seen a Starless Sect extinguish a Fake Four-star Influence within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense?" Biyue Piaoling hadnāt wanted to discuss the Immortal Sect, but he couldnāt bear his grandsonās shortsightedness.
"What?"
Biyue Zan was momentarily stunned.
"That Starless Sect just took down a Fake Four-star Influence, a Half-Step Mountain Suppression came out, and only managed to block two moves."
"Is it still a Starless Sect?" A Starless Sect extinguishing a Fake Four-star Sect, is that a joke? How could it be possible?
"Thatās just one matter." Biyue Piaoling arrived at Biyue Yiās room door, directly pushed it open, and saw Biyue Yi sitting at his desk in a daze, looking completely disheartened. Turning back, he coldly spoke to Biyue Zan, "Is this what you call him being busy?"
