Chapter 1416: Chapter 48: Majestic Vision – Part 3
Weichi Lian couldn’t help but be shocked at heart.
Despite having already heard some from Xianyu Hu and speculating with Weichi Shu.
Still, hearing Daoist Yuanci’s straightforward words, she could hardly hide her astonishment.
As disciples of the Wuhen Palace Master, they naturally heard of their teacher having an unseen father.
Now hearing Daoist Yuanci acknowledging it.
And considering Old Lady’s special attitude towards Daoist Yuanci, after comparing the two, there were no more doubts.
...
Despite feeling awkward at heart, out of respect for that Old Lady, she still solemnly bowed to Daoist Yuanci:
“Weichi Lian, pays her respects to Martial Uncle.”
Daoist Yuanci was slightly taken aback.
Although his position in Wanxiang Sect is very high, he had never had a late-stage Immortal Ascension cultivator show him such courtesy as a junior.
Surprised, he quickly returned the bow:
“This should not be so, Second Palace Master need not be so formal, need not be so.”

However, Weichi Lian insisted on not relenting and added:
“This is the rule of Yuanci Palace, the rites of respect between higher and lower ranks must not be neglected; even the Palace Master must follow them.”
“The eldest sister is currently managing those families outside the palace and couldn’t wait for Martial Uncle to come out of seclusion; I shall have her return and pay respects to Martial Uncle.”
Daoist Yuanci felt on pins and needles.
He hurriedly waved his hands:
“No need for that, everything awaits revival now, a busy time; there’s no need to have the Palace Master return.”
Although it was justified for a late-stage Immortal Ascension cultivator to be so polite to him, it was something he found hard to accept.
After all, such beings were nearly extinct in the Little Cang World, except for Zhongsheng Continent.
Weichi Lian persisted for a while, then was ‘reluctantly’ persuaded by Daoist Yuanci.
She then curiously asked:
“By the way, that female mage and the Old Lady are…”
“She is indeed the disciple that the Old Lady took in not long ago.”
Daoist Yuanci did not hide it.
There was no need for secrecy about such matters; he believed that given Li Yuehua’s ruthless meticulousness, the Two Saints of Yuanci Palace would not dare do anything to them unless they were one hundred percent certain of Li Yuehua’s demise.
And indeed, that was the case.
Upon learning that Qin Lingxiao was Li Yuehua’s newly accepted disciple, Weichi Lian’s attitude immediately became warmer.
However, she always dared not inquire about Li Yuehua’s whereabouts.
Though his Cultivation Base was far below hers, Daoist Yuanci clearly understood Weichi Lian’s thoughts and intentions.
He silently sighed in his heart.
Li Yuehua, with just her residual menace, could command such reverence from a late-stage Immortal Ascension cultivator, which was not achieved merely by strength alone.
It wasn’t long before they saw Qin Lingxiao coming out of a Cultivation Room.
Weichi Lian also quickly exchanged pleasantries with Qin Lingxiao.
What somewhat relieved Daoist Yuanci was that Qin Lingxiao, with an expression as cold as ice, did not seem to reveal anything from her face alone.
Her words were also as precious as gold; after a conversation, Weichi Lian got even less information than what she had from Daoist Yuanci.
However, she had basically confirmed the situation with Daoist Yuanci and Qin Lingxiao.
At this time, the Palace Master of Yuanci Palace, Weichi Shu, finally arrived tardily.
As soon as she spoke, she made both Daoist Yuanci and Qin Lingxiao look bewildered:
“We are bound by heaven and earth, unable to go out, causing inconveniences, and now with the unfortunate death of our third sister, I have thoughts of retirement. Since Qin Martial Uncle is the Old Lady’s Direct Inheritor, why not become the Palace Master of Yuanci Palace and take over the reins on behalf of the Old Lady?”
Even with her cold demeanor, Qin Lingxiao showed a shocked expression:
“Me?”
She then immediately shook her head:
“Absolutely not. How could an outsider from the Outer Continent take the position of Palace Master of Yuanci Palace?”
“What Qin Martial Uncle said is not correct. What difference does it make between the Outer and Inner Continent? As long as you can revitalize Yuanci Palace, what’s inappropriate?”
Weichi Lian also chimed in:
“Besides, with the Old Lady behind Qin Martial Uncle, even if we face any problems, no one would dare to interfere.”
With this said, Qin Lingxiao quickly realized in her heart,
“Is this a test?”
She glanced at Daoist Yuanci who showed no expression and a firm decision flashed in her heart:
“This… all right! However, let it be known, once I ascend to Immortal Ascension, my teacher will not allow me to linger outside, so…”
Weichi Shu and Weichi Lian exchanged quiet glances, immediately Weichi Lian then revealed a smile and said:
“I understand, I understand. Once Qin Martial Uncle has advanced to Class V, we shall select another Palace Master.”
Weichi Shu added:
“Since that’s the case, let’s set a good day for the coronation ceremony.”
Daoist Yuanci slightly furrowed his brows.
Qin Lingxiao decisively said:
“There are important matters in Fenglin Continent, and Daoist Yuanci must attend in person. Instead of picking a future date, let’s make it today!”
Weichi Shu and Weichi Lian were both startled, seeming not to expect the Old Lady’s Direct Inheritor to be so eager to ascend.
But seeing how swift and decisive Qin Lingxiao was, with an authoritarian tone that brooked no interference,
They saw a hint of the Old Blood Sea Lady’s demeanor.
Any doubts they had in their hearts were immediately dispelled.
This time, no matter what they thought inside, the respectfulness on their faces became even more pronounced.
They then went to prepare for the coronation ceremony.
After the two left, Daoist Yuanci suddenly spoke:
“Madam has told you to focus on your Cultivation, sending you to the Extreme Southern Wind Cave periodically to assess your Cultivation Base progress, how come you are taking up this role as some Palace Master?”
Qin Lingxiao’s expression shifted slightly, but soon she understood and replied casually:
“Even with teacher’s guidance, resources are needed to aid progression. Isn’t being the Palace Master of Yuanci Palace faster than Cultivating by oneself?”
Daoist Yuanci shook his head slightly:
“Still, one should not let these miscellaneous affairs distract from Cultivation.”
The two chatted seemingly casually.
Secretly, however, they communicated through voice transmission.
