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

Chapter 241 Good News

"Seven Nights... there's something off about you today."

Wei Chaoyan took small steps to Qi Ye's side, who was smiling gently, and whispered in his ear.

Qi Ye's eyes sparkled, and a smile flowed like a clear spring: "It's nothing! It's just that I suddenly felt like having a happy occasion!"

"Unn...something's not right. You're definitely up to something!"

Although Qi Ye's demeanor and tone remained unchanged, Wei Chaoyan followed her strong intuition and firmly believed that Qi Ye was hiding something, which was why he had suddenly made such a rude joke.

After all, given his usual thoughtful and considerate nature, he would have informed Doctor Wen before using the cleansing talisman, instead of using it so suddenly that it startled the unprepared Doctor Wen!

Faced with Wei Chaoyan's questioning and scrutiny, Qi Ye remained unfazed, still displaying the demeanor of a refined gentleman with a charming smile.

After staring at him for a while, Wei Chaoyan realized she had no way to pry open Qi Ye's mouth, which was tighter than a clam shell, so she gave up and ran off to join Wei Ying's group for some fun.

Qi Ye stood tall and elegant, watching with a smile as Wei Chaoyan, Qingyan, and Lan Zhan surrounded Wei Ying, listening to Wei Ying enthusiastically recount his experiences of the day (due to limited manpower, the banquet was held during the day, and each of them was responsible for a different type of task, so their routes did not overlap most of the time). Every now and then, when Wei Ying mentioned something interesting, Wei Chaoyan and Qingyan would cheer him on with exclamations or various kinds of吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to make sarcastic or humorous comments)... In short, that small area, which was clearly only for four people, was more lively than a small gathering.

Qi Ye's smiling eyes thoughtfully surveyed the space around the courtyard, as if he could catch the faint spiritual energy fluctuations hidden in the air. Within the range of spiritual energy, all kinds of sounds would be blocked and could not be transmitted out to disturb the residents who had already gone to sleep. This ensured that no matter how freely Wei Ying spoke, he would not have to worry about disturbing the people.

The fluctuations were very small; if he hadn't been very familiar with the owner of this spiritual power, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect this subtle anomaly.

She stretched out her slender, white fingers and gently touched the ethereal spiritual energy fluctuations, as if sensing the Daoist principles contained within them. She smiled inwardly and thought, "As expected of you, you are always so thoughtful and considerate."

She opened her pale palm to catch a glimpse of the frosty moonlight, lowered her eyes to gaze at the soft moonlight in her hand, and the curve of her full lips rose another ninety degrees. "Ha, sister, you ask me why I'm so out of control today?"

"Of course, it's because I received intelligence that some people aren't doing so well right now! The worse they are, the happier I am! That's why I lost my composure just now; I simply couldn't suppress my excitement! Hey, you older sisters will definitely understand me! But I won't tell you or Ah Ying a single word about the reason behind this!"

Qi Ye's smile was so innocent, so pure!

What caused Qi Ye, whose temperament had undergone dozens of spatial learning experiences, to be unable to fully control his turbulent emotions?

Hey!

Qi Ye recalled that before attending the banquet today, his capable subordinate Xu Yi, who was in charge of intelligence gathering and analysis, had squinted at the encrypted documents that Wei Ying and the others had brought him, and it seemed as if the neat and powerful black characters written on them appeared before his eyes.

"Since the three families of Gusu Lan Clan, Qishan Wen Clan, and Qinghe Nie Clan joined forces to promote numerous reforms, the situation in various parts of the Xuanmen has been changing rapidly... Under the pressure from forces such as Fan Chaochen Clan, various emerging minor families, sects, and the increasingly vigorous loose cultivator mutual aid association, the original Xuanmen families have shown a downward trend in their development... Among them, the old families such as Lanling Jin Clan, Yunmeng Jiang Clan, and Meishan Yu Clan are particularly typical..."

"Although the young sect leaders of each family have good aptitude, their development in all aspects is far inferior to that of the countless unorthodox cultivators emerging from the common folk, and they are just ordinary people...!"

"Hahaha!"

Every time he revisited this passage, Qi Ye's joy and excitement were like the bubbling water in a boiling pot of soup, constantly rising and never stopping!

Alas! Qi Ye had not forgotten the bumpy fate of his second brother in the original destiny line, all of which stemmed from these old Xuanmen families who were arrogant, self-important, and rotten!

My second brother and the others do not blame others for things that have not yet happened; it is because they are of noble character and have a heart as vast as the sea!

But Qi Ye was always stingy and eccentric. He had been busy with all sorts of trivial matters and hadn't had time to prepare the "generous gift." Couldn't this sudden good news make him happy for a few more moments?!

However, for the sake of my second brother's reputation and feelings, it is still necessary to keep this kind of information completely hidden.

Although it's hard to say how my second brother felt upon learning of this, I imagine it was mostly complicated and hard to discern. It's best not to let such a trivial matter disturb his peace of mind!

After all, the two of them, Second Brother and Lan Erge, are currently in a very dangerous and critical period, and they cannot afford to make any mistakes!
