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

Chapter 285 Magical Circle

Seeing that the group of cultivators had finally been perfectly fooled away by Lan Wenjing, leaving only his own people behind, Wei Ying stopped trying to make himself less noticeable.

He instantly emerged from behind Nie Changfeng's imposing figure, drifting towards Wen Ruohan's location like a gust of wind, not forgetting to grab Lan Zhan along the way.

The two were not far apart, so in the blink of an eye, Wei Ying smoothly floated to Wen Ruohan, who was gritting his teeth and enduring the continuous pain caused by the physician Wen Zhiji cleaning his wounds and applying medicine.

As soon as he stopped, under Wen Ruohan's questioning gaze, Wei Ying gave a graceful bow and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "I greet Sect Leader Wen! I have long heard that the Wen Clan of Qishan has a profound foundation and a vast collection of books, which I greatly admire. I wonder if I may have the honor of having a look?"

His tone and actions exuded Wei Ying's unique carefree spirit, yet he also maintained an elegant demeanor. However, Wen Ruohan could still detect the barely concealed urgency and anxiety within him at a glance!

At this moment, Wen Zhiji's actions of treating and bandaging his wounds were causing him pain all over his body, so he was too lazy to bother figuring out the root cause of Wei Ying's actions.

Wen Ruohan grinned impatiently and said, "Wei kid, speak like a human being, what do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ying immediately changed his attitude and went straight to the point: "I hope Sect Leader Wen will allow me to enter the place where the Wen Clan has collected ancient books, secrets, and manuscripts related to the Yiling Burial Mound and the surrounding cursed wall formation. I need to find all the clues about the Burial Mound from there!"

"What?" Wen Ruohan narrowed her long, narrow eyes, her question laced with certainty. "What crucial clue have you two discovered there this time?!"

Wei Ying pondered for a moment, then carefully chose his tone and said tactfully, "Although there are some speculations, they are too far-fetched and unfounded, and require more concrete evidence to support them!"

Lan Wenjing and Nie Changfeng, who had been listening in, couldn't sit still any longer and instinctively gathered around the three of them. "Does this involve our later decision-making and planning?"

Lan Wenjing frowned slightly and interjected thoughtfully.

Wei Ying smiled wryly: "I can't guarantee anything right now."

"Hey! It's either yes or no, why are you being so vague and uncoordinated!"

The hot-tempered Nie Changfeng was full of questions. He slammed his bear paw hard on Wei Ying's slightly thin shoulder and shouted.

Wei Ying's brow twitched, and he was about to explain when Lan Zhan, who was feeling distressed by Nie Changfeng's bear-like pat on his shoulder, spoke up first in a cold voice.

"I vaguely discovered a corner of the remnants of an array. I'm unsure of the array's scale and function, as well as who set it up and when. I just have a feeling it's extremely important!"

While explaining clearly and logically, his light-colored, glassy eyes, like those of ice and snow, suddenly turned cold and fixed on Nie Changfeng's hand, which was still resting on Wei Ying's shoulder.

Nie Changfeng was puzzled. He only felt the temperature on the surface of the hand suddenly drop sharply. Instinctively, he withdrew his palm in a flash.

He then raised his large palm close to his eyes, looked it up and down several times, but found nothing. He could only put it down, puzzled, and listen attentively to the ongoing conversation beside him.

Lan Wenjing was rapidly searching through the vast amount of ancient texts he had read, trying to find any clues about the magic array Lan Zhan had mentioned, when he accidentally witnessed this scene.

As soon as my mind started to wander, the inspiration I was about to grasp vanished like a startled fish, flying far away in an instant!

Just as Lan Wenjing was about to ponder again, Wen Ruohan slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Fine, fine! Stop explaining in such a cryptic way, I'll go get it for you right now!"

"However, Wei boy, you must know that this is a closely guarded secret document of the Wen family. Remember, it must not be taken out of the family, leaked, damaged, or altered!"

"Alright, Ying will remember this and will not break the rules!" At this moment, Wei Ying's peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with endless stars, shining brightly and dazzlingly!

"Also, since you can't take it out, you and Lin can only stay in the room I've designated in advance during the borrowing period. Wen Zhibai will be in charge of sending people to supervise all your eating and drinking utensils during this time!"

Wei Ying and Lan Zhan: "Okay!"

Seeing that Wei Ying and Lan Zhan agreed to his conditions without hesitation, and noticing the eagerness overflowing in their eyes, Wen Ruohan thought that he didn't have anything important to do at the moment, so he simply slapped his thigh and decided to take them to the back mountain immediately to satisfy their impatient wishes.

So, while Wen Ruohan was halfway through applying the medicine, he took advantage of Wen Zhiji turning around to rummage through the medicine box behind him, and without hesitation, he picked up Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, one in each hand, and, in the astonished eyes of Lan Wenjing, Nie Changfeng and the others, soared like an eagle spreading its wings, heading straight up the back mountain where he had been in seclusion for many years.

When Wen Zhiji finished picking up the tools and turned around, he was completely blank and found that the living person who had just been there had vanished into thin air!

"This...this, where is the sect leader?"

Poor Wen Zhiji, the tone of the last word was distorted.

Lan Wenjing smiled, clenched his fist to his lips, and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

Nie Changfeng didn't care about such things. He burst into laughter, his calloused fingers pointing directly in the direction Wen Ruohan had left. "Hahahaha... Sect Master Wen went, hahaha, he grabbed two kids and headed to the back mountain! Hahaha, fellow Daoist, you're really something!"

"I've known Wen Ruohan for twenty or thirty years, and this is the first time I've seen him flee in such a sorry state! You're something else, hahaha..."

Under the piercing sound, Wen Zhiji's slender white fingers, which were gripping a pair of bright silver needles, tightened sharply. A flash of anger quickly appeared in his usually calm eyes. Clearly, this was a vengeful physician!

Cough cough, I imagine the reckoning that will come soon will be enough to give Wen Ruohan a hard time...

At that moment, Wen Ruohan, who was speeding towards the back mountain with Wei Ying and Lan Zhan like birds in flight, had no idea that, with the help of Nie Changfeng's demonic laughter, Wen Zhiji was making a deep note of him in his little notebook.

In a short period of time, he traversed several areas from the training ground and quickly ran to his familiar territory. He threw the two people he was carrying in front of a stone gate, left them with the words "You two wait here, I'll be right back," and then disappeared in an instant!
