Chapter 663: Chapter 91 Old Friends Appear, The Wife’s Suspicions Chapter 663: Chapter 91 Old Friends Appear, The Wife’s Suspicions After exchanging a few pleasantries with Sect Leader Fu Xie, Wei Dongliu and Jiang Li An took their seats at the top.
Although most of the guests who arrived were great Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, it didn’t seem inappropriate for Wei Dongliu, being a venerable Sect Leader himself, to sit in a place of honor.
Moreover, since Sect Leader Fu Xie had addressed him with such courtesy earlier, the guests could sense the importance that the Nether Ghost Path placed on Sect Leader Wei.
Even those who harbored criticisms wouldn’t be foolish enough to reveal them in public.
Sect Leader Fu Xie wanted to say something more to Wei Dongliu, but his eyes started to hurt more and more, to the point where he almost shed tears.
Assuming it was a backlash from his cultivation technique, he felt it inappropriate to take an elixir in front of all the guests, so he found an excuse to leave the main hall.
Upon reaching the back hall and inspecting his condition with his divine sense, he found nothing wrong with his eyes.
Nevertheless, the pain was real-and it was becoming unbearably intense.
Just as he was about to take an elixir, he heard Honored White Bone’s voice from behind:
“Fu Xie, what are you doing?”
“Honored one,” Sect Leader Fu Xie explained, saying that he had used the Bone Observation Technique to inspect Sect Leader Wei’s wife and somehow suffered a backlash from the technique, injuring his own eyes.
“Hmm, let me see,” Honored White Bone scanned with her divine sense, then exclaimed in surprise, “No, it’s not a backlash…
this is an illusion technique?”
“An illusion technique?” Sect Leader Fu Xie was also startled.

If someone could cast an illusion on him without a sound, and he had no inkling of it, wouldn’t that mean the person could manipulate his senses with ease?
As the head of the Nether Ghost Path, it was unthinkable for him to be so easily deceived by an illusion without noticing it.
However, since Honored White Bone would not lie, it would mean that the skills of Sect Leader Wei’s wife had reached a certain high level…
“Naturally,” Honored White Bone nodded in response to Sect Leader Fu Xie’s speculation, “This Jiang Li An was highly regarded by the Carefree Ancestral Master, who insisted on arranging a marriage for her.
It’s clear she is no ordinary individual.”
“The younger generation is indeed like the new waves that surpass the old,” lamented Sect Leader Fu Xie.
“There are so many monstrously talented individuals among them!”
“The disciple this old one has taken this time also has excellent potential,” said Honored White Bone, her face rigid with pride.
“She has dual souls in one body, seamless as a heavenly garment.
She’s truly a natural seed for the path of soul and corpse dual cultivation.”
“Ming Yan Elder raised such a fine daughter and yet failed to inform this old one earlier.
That was truly dim-witted.”
Sect Leader Fu Xie put on an embarrassed smile, thinking to himself that you, old master, who are elusive like a dragon, barely present in the sect for ten out of the twelve months, are somehow blaming Elder Ming Yan?
Moreover, his daoist companion had carried a son and a daughter, but a tragic accident occurred close to the childbirth, necessitating this last resort.
The sister had a healthy body, but her soul was so damaged that only a hint of mingling spirit remained, dominated by her brother’s soul…
This case of dual souls in one body was so rare that the higher echelons of the Nether Ghost Path all talked about it, marveling at it, yet only you, old master, were unaware.
If you were more attentive to the affairs of the sect, it wouldn’t have come to this, right?
Despite his internal criticisms, Sect Leader Fu Xie sighed and persuaded:
“Elder Ming Yan lost his beloved wife and suffered the misfortune of losing his children.
Therefore, he is exceedingly protective of this daughter who barely survived.
It was indeed rude not to inform you of her abilities, but it is understandable.”
As the Sect Leader, of course, he could not allow the Sect Guardian Immortal to hold any grudges against any of the elders – even the slightest possibility must be preempted.
Fortunately, Honored White Bone seemed to have spoken casually without truly blaming Elder Ming Yan.
Just as he was about to say more, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind:
“Master, what you said is so unreasonable.
How could my father know to tell you about someone with dual souls in one body if he wasn’t aware that you were looking for such a person?”
“Cough cough,” Honored White Bone coughed awkwardly, not expecting to be overheard criticizing someone’s father from behind.
He could only feign ignorance, saying with authority,
“Never mind that, have you mastered the cultivation technique I taught you yesterday?”
“Reporting to Master,” Wen Yang said hoarsely, “I have mastered it all.”
“There’s no need for you to speak in that drake’s voice,” Honored White Bone frowned, “I’ve already spoken to your father.
I told him not to favor boys over girls.
We cultivators live long lives and don’t need to consider carrying on the family line.”
“Yes, Master,” Wen Yang, with no choice, switched to a crisp female voice.
“This time Wei Dongliu and Jiang Liyan also came to visit,” Honored White Bone continued, “You are acquainted with them from old times.
Probe into their backgrounds for me.”
“Wei Dongliu’s background?” Wen Yang heard “them” instead of “him” and sought to confirm, “I have known Daoist Jiang for many years, I can inform Master about her matters.”
Honored White Bone was slightly surprised, and then shared with Wen Yang how Jiang Lian recognized the Nether Ghost Path’s Protective Sect Array ‘Moving Mountains and Shifting Seas Formation,’ as well as how she broke and countered the backlash of the Bone Observation Technique of Sect Leader Fu Xie.
Sect Leader Fu Xie stood awkwardly to the side, unable to stop an immortal and pretending as if nothing was happening while maintaining his poise.
“This is indeed strange,” Wen Yang stroked her chin, pondering, “The Daoist Jiang I know is not much different from most of the Heavenly Demon Path cultivators.”
They avoid great danger and covet small gains, cherishing their lives.
Her aptitude for cultivation is actually decent, but due to her master’s lack of attention, her strength and realm aren’t particularly outstanding, certainly not to the extent that Master described.”
After a moment of thought, she continued,
“However, if you say she’s intentionally hiding her strength, that also seems unlikely.
I’m more inclined to think that she has gained great appreciation from Patriarch Zi Zai and has made swift and tremendous progress in illusion techniques and insight.”
“If that is the case, then you can continue to associate with them in the future,” Honored White Bone nodded, “These two are dragons hidden in the field, their future achievements will surely be boundless.”
“Now that the Three Pure Ones are powerful and talents like Changgeng and Jiao Xiao are emerging, our Six Paths also cannot fall behind.”
“I will remember this, Master,” Wen Yang said earnestly, “But before that, I must make a breakthrough to Core Formation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, it would be somewhat awkward to interact with them.”
“Of course,” Honored White Bone smiled faintly, “You don’t have to worry about that, I have my plans.”
In the main hall outside, Wei Dongliu and Jiang Lian sat side by side, with beautiful maidens attending to them, pouring wine.
The wine was Tai Zhong Moon Yin Brew, an extremely rare and hard-to-find elixir from Immortal Sects, which started cool in the throat and then left the mouth fragrant.
Ling Yunpo, who often drank with Senior Sister An, had made Wei Dongliu quite skilled at appreciating wines.
After sipping a few mouthfuls, he smiled indifferently,
“A fine cup of Tai Zhong Moon Yin Brew!
It’s a shame to drink such exquisite wine without the accompaniment of Li Spring’s clear bamboo shoots.”
“Forgive me, Sect Leader,” the maid quickly said, “The food to complement the wine will be here shortly.”
“My husband also appreciates fine wine?” Jiang Lian casually asked, her thoughts whirling.
She never saw him drink before, so why did he seem so familiar with the contents of this cup?
???G?.??
Wei Dongliu was internally startled but kept a composed face, merely smiling slightly,
“As the Sect Leader of the Mortal Life Path, it’s quite normal for me to know a thing or two about wine appreciation, isn’t that right?”
