"What in the hell is going on?" Wang Wei asked incredulously.
"You heard what I said, Wrath said, her eyes firr than a Divine Cultivator's firmant. Wang Wei stared at her before blatantly using his divine sense to scan her body.
"You!" Wrath said with aggrieved eyes, but Wang Wei ignored her. He wanted to know whether she was under control or any kind of influence, so he was brazen and invasive as he checked her.
"Is this really necessary?" Si ihui said with a smile.
"This does not concern you, so stay out of this," Wang Wei warned.
"She's my new Consort, so it does concern ," Si ihui countered, but she did not stop him. Wang Wei did not find anything, despite using divination and peeping into her past.
'Stockholm Syndro? No, it's more like she wanted a new person to protect her, and Si ihui took advantage of her vulnerability,' Wang Wei analyzed.
"Do you understand the consequences of staying with her? The world is about to experience a catastrophe unlike anything anyone has ever seen. Her strength as a Primal might make you think she can protect you, but her foundation is weak. She can barely protect herself."
"You don't have to worry about mine or her security," Si ihui butted in, but Wang Wei stared at Wrath, waiting for her answer.
"I understand, and my choice remains the sa," Wrath replied.
"What about your other brothers and sisters?"
"Gluttony has chosen to build a ho for the future ascenders, and the others have chosen to reincarnate for a second chance at the Eternal Path. Once everybody is settled, Gluttony will also follow the others. We all have our own paths, and this is mine," Wrath replied.
Wang Wei peered into her soul through her eyes. He realized this was her choice, which she was committed to following, no matter the consequences. "Well, since you chose this path of your own free will, I won't say anything anymore. I've gone above board for the promise I made to your master, and whatever happens to you from now has nothing to do with ."
"That's what I want."
"I hope you're happy, sincerely," Wang Wei added.
"Thanks," she nodded, and he casually threw the weapon to Si ihui before teleporting away. There was no hesitation or reluctance in his actions. Wang Wei wiped his hand clean of this karma.
Wrath watched him leave, her gaze slightly dazed. "What? Already regretting your choice?" Si ihui teased.
"Of course not," Wrath smiled. I just feel a little sad since he had such a great influence on my life for so long."
"That's normal," Si ihui nodded. If what Wang Wei said was true, he kept his promise to her master and went the extra mile, forging a deep bond with Wrath. "Co, let's return ho."
Wang Wei teleported ho, still feeling absurd by everything that had occurred. Ti is advancing, and the people in his life are changing, so to the point of becoming unpredictable by even his brilliant mind. While he was heading to his room, Wang Wei sensed a presence and his lips twitched.
"Ancestor, don't you have anything better to do?"
"I actually don't," Yan Hai replied. Her ti in Limbo and the rit she received have allowed her to return to the peak of the Paragon Realm, aning she only needed a small retreat to regain her full strength.
"What brought you here?" Wang Wei asked with a sigh.
"I want to know your progress with my future daughter-in-law. Co, tell and be honest."
Wang Wei was speechless. He did not want to believe in the stereotype that won like gossip by nature, but the current argunts were appealing.
"Well, what are you waiting for?"
Wang Wei sighed: "Our relationship is closer, can even say we're companions. But I feel there is a small and thin layer between us." He did not say that because they haven't slept together, but because of a feeling after the recent interaction.
"It's probably because of Nu Liang," Yan Hai said.
"She ntioned they had a short fling, but she never gave too much information," Wang Wei said.
"Nu Liang was a handso and charismatic man with a golden tongue. During the war, Brother Qiyuan tasked him to convince the Battle Spirit World to side with us, and Wu Hong was his protector. They grew close during that mission and almost beca a couple."
"So, what happened?" Wang Wei asked.
"It ended like all her other relationships. He grew envious of her strength and potential, so he tried to bring her down instead of rising to her level," Yan Hai sneered. She had no interest in relationships, but she despised these types of people.
"I guess I should thank him," Wang Wei smiled. His fate connection with Wu Hong was never going to guarantee their relationship, so he was glad all these other guys blew it.
"You're nothing like those guys. On the contrary, you challenge her to be even better, so I believe you will succeed. Give her so ti, and she'll overco these insecurities."
"I will," Wang Wei nodded.
"Good. My ability to dangle my seniority over her will lie on you. Don't disappoint ," Yan Hai nodded before preparing to leave.
"Wait, ancestor, I have to file a complaint against you," Wang Wei said as he rembered sothing. Yan Hai looked at him strangely: "Kid, what did I ever do to you that you didn't deserve?"
"You lied to about the Empyrean Taboo Battle Realm," Wang Wei said, not hiding the dissatisfaction in his face.
"Oh, you're talking about that. I didn't lie, but used the sect protocol."
"The sect's protocol is to lie about such an important matter?" Wang Wei countered.
"We usually leave hints for people with talents early on before guiding them to this path. My original intention was to slowly give you hints after you ascended, but who would have thought you would succeed in the lower dinsion?" Yan Hai shrugged.
Wang Wei's lips twitched: "Who designed such a stupid system?"
"Who are you calling stupid?" Yan Hai appeared next to him and hit him with a bamboo stick, which was extrely painful.
"Kid, what do you know about educating the next generation? Do you know that the Immortal Cultivation System is designed to limit creativity and ingenuity? When Brother Qiyuan and Brother Li were young, they discussed countless ways to improve the Origin System.
"After a few million yuan epochs of cultivation, Brother Li lost most of his creativity, and Brother Qiyuan had to spend years barely getting his back. You were lucky to reach this level at an astonishing speed, but I bet even you have been influenced by the system.
"After realizing how the system was designed, you probably accepted it as a fact and never tried to find a way around, didn't you?" Yan Hai asked with a sneer, making Wang Wei's body paused.
He was indeed too quick to accept there was no way for him to make his Empyrean Real unique, which was unlike soone like him who likes to break the mold — who likes to rebel.
"By your reaction, I'm guessing I'm right," Yan Hai chuckled, her eyes filled with mockery, which made Wang Wei embarrassed. "We have long realized this, so we designed the stupid system to motivate our disciples to think creatively while also playing within the rules of Grand Dao's system."
Wang Wei coughed to hide his embarrassnt: "Ancestor, you know young people like always have the ntality that we know better, so don't mind . By the way, I noticed you've only achieved the Paragon Taboo Realm. Is there a particular reason?"
"Trying to bring up my sore spot?" Yan Hai asked in annoyance.
"Not at all — I'm just curious."
"Kid, haven't you realized how lucky you are to be born in such a powerful sect?" Yan Hai sighed. "The first ti I heard about the Taboo Realm was when I was at the Great Emperor Realm, and it was a hint from the Heaven Opening Paragon. However, our relationship was not so good back then, so we did not trust him.
"The first ti I t soone in the Taboo Realm was during the Paragon Heaven Will Battle, and that bastard almost killed and Qiyuan. We would have died if not for our Paragon Artifact and working together.
"After the battle, Qiyuan deduced that this person had entered the taboo realm and wanted to delay absorbing the Heaven Will to enter the taboo realm while he protected , but news was released that I still had my Heaven Will. Brother Qiyuan tried his best, but he was just a new Boundless Paragon, so many people attacked us. I had to use it.
"We could only enter the Paragon Battle Taboo Realm after our sect was established and we had plenty of resources, ti, and opportunity."
Wang Wei was silent. Sotis, he forgets the privilege afforded to him by his birth. He forgets all the sacrifices the ancestors made so that soone like him will have the benefits and advantages they did not. This conversation also made him realize how lucky and wonderful his future wife is for all she has accomplished.
"Thank you, ancestor, for everything you've done for and the sect," Wang Wei bowed politely.
"It's weird seeing you so sincere. Regardless, I accept your bow," Yan Hai said before disappearing, leaving a chuckle that echoed in the void. Wang Wei sighed before walking into his mansion. He did not call Xie Huan or Wang Qi. Now that he was alone, it was ti to check Heavenly Dao's special reward.
