[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Chapter 355 Past Dreams 26

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Wei Wuxian raised an eyebrow, curiously stepped forward, took the jade pendant from Lan Xichen's hand, and examined it intently. "Let me see!"

After a long pause, Wei Wuxian looked up and said with a smile, "Congratulations, brother, you have produced such a talented person with such ingenuity! This jade pendant has a novel design and complete runes; it can only achieve its purpose if used."

"Some details are too complicated and showy, which is not conducive to widespread adoption. Let me study them carefully for a while and make some modifications and adjustments!"

Upon hearing Wei Wuxian's words, Lan Xichen, Nie Huaisang, and the others who were anxiously awaiting a reply at the table couldn't help but relax, their expressions becoming more relaxed.

"That's excellent!" Lan Xichen said with a sigh of relief.

Lan Wangji glanced at Wei Wuxian, who was deep in thought while fiddling with the jade pendant, then looked up at Lan Xichen: "Brother, Uncle, is there anything you need me to handle?"

Lan Xichen shook his head: "Wangji, there's no need to be distracted! The situation at the Burial Mound of Yiling that you and Wuxian are facing is the most dangerous and the most important. Just focus on that. Your brother, uncle, and other fellow cultivators are here to take care of the rest of the trivial matters!"

Hearing the conversation between Lan Wangji and Lan Xichen, Wei Wuxian pulled himself out of his reverie from the jade pendant and said with a grin, "Oh! Brother, why are you being so polite? Just ask if you need anything. Isn't it all for everyone to get through this difficult time as quickly as possible?"

"As for whether I can handle both?" Wei Wuxian rolled his clear eyes, patted his chest with one hand, and pretended to be arrogant. "Who am I? I am the omnipotent Yiling Patriarch, capable of turning the world upside down! These trivial matters are nothing to me!"

Faced with Wei Wuxian's boastful and arrogant speech, which resembled a proud little rooster puffing out its beautiful downy feathers, the people present did not find him to be too arrogant or boastful. Instead, they felt that he was speaking the truth!

However, the attitude that Wei Wuxian's words conveyed—that he could place all the burdens on his shoulders—made everyone realize that something was amiss!

"Snap!" Nie Huaisang forcefully slammed the folding fan he cherished into his palm, leaning his upper body towards Wei Wuxian, his tone extremely serious.

"Brother Wei, you must not continue to take on so much responsibility!"

"In the event of the great calamity caused by the outburst of resentment, no living being in the world is innocent and bears responsibility!"

"Therefore, saving the world from fire and water is not the responsibility of you alone or with Hanguang-jun! It is the responsibility of every living being!"

"Regardless of their abilities, every living being should do their utmost to save the world! Instead of placing their hopes on a few while doing nothing and reaping the benefits themselves!"

Nie Huaisang's words were like a morning bell and an evening drum, resounding and awakening!

The world belongs to every living being, and they should all contribute their strength to the survival of the world!

Only when everyone unites as one, works together, and goes all out can there be a glimmer of hope in the face of this catastrophe that threatens to destroy the world!

Stunned by Nie Huaisang's words, Wei Wuxian paused for a moment, his brow twitching slightly. "So you summoned me and Lan Zhan to the meeting just so I could check if this new magical artifact is effective?"

"No!" Nie Huaisang looked at Wei Wuxian with a smile, easily rejecting Wei Wuxian's guess, "I just wanted Brother Wei and Hanguang-jun to be aware of the situation down the mountain, so as not to worry!"

"Furthermore," Wei Wuxian pointed at Nie Huaisang with his index finger and naturally continued, "Brother Nie, you also need to know the current situation at the Burial Mound in order to plan your subsequent actions!"

“Yeah!” Nie Huaisang nodded confidently, “If we don’t ask Brother Wei, the founder of the Ghost Dao, about what happened at the mass grave, who else should we ask?”

Wei Wuxian, his face full of black lines, said, "Don't worry, the situation at the Burial Mound has been temporarily stabilized by the few of us. At the very least, we have significantly reduced the scale of the outflow of resentment and greatly controlled the number of fierce corpses and vengeful ghosts breaking out of the Burial Mound!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy. However, Nie Huaisang's eyes flashed, and a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had noticed Wei Wuxian's unfinished words.

"Brother Wei has been emphasizing that the situation at the mass grave has temporarily stabilized, but he hasn't revealed a single word about the deepest part of its territory! You must know that this mass grave was originally an ancient battlefield, its existence dating back to the time when the great immortal sects stood tall! Countless ancient powerful figures have perished within it... This situation is probably not good!"

Nie Huaisang's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly he thought coldly, "When it rains, it pours; this is truly a time of many troubles!"

The series of good news eased the tension that had been building since the outburst of resentment among the people in the room, and some even showed a long-lost smile.

"Good!" Lan Xichen's smile deepened as he applauded. "Now that the source of this chaos, the Burial Mound, has temporarily calmed down, we have more time to arrange and deploy the follow-up matters!"

"Regarding how to comprehensively promote education and cultivation, as well as the corresponding deployment and adjustments for defending against and even eliminating the tide of resentment, fellow cultivators, please speak freely! As for Wuxian and Wangji, you can simply listen from the sidelines, and if you have any thoughts or doubts, you may also speak frankly!"

As soon as Lan Xichen said this, the others in the room stopped being coy and, after a moment of contemplation, someone spoke up!

Next, the entire meeting room was filled with people speaking and discussing, each offering different suggestions, concerns, and questions from their own perspective, and frankly facing the probing questions from others...

The commotion lasted for quite some time before it finally subsided, and outside, the crescent moon hung high in the sky, and the stars twinkled.

Having finalized all the plans, the group, though weary, could not hide their relaxed and contented joy. They walked hand in hand out of the meeting room, heading towards the dining hall with the same goal in mind.

After all, we're all just mortals, and we still need to eat grains to soothe our rumbling stomachs!
