Chapter 95 Forced to Accept the Inheritance? Not at all.
The female disciple was embraced by a warm embrace, but the dagger in her hand was gone. She smelled a reassuring medicinal fragrance.
Xie Wanning patted her back gently and said softly, "It's okay, everything will pass."
The female disciple's voice was hoarse: "How could you understand the pain of losing a loved one? My brother, he clearly said he would come back to bring me the Spirit Gathering Grass, but... but he will never come back." The female disciple's sobs rang out, heart-wrenching and grief-stricken.
Xie Wanning still held her gently, patted her back lightly, and looked around.
Her voice was gentle, yet filled with unspeakable sorrow: "I understand, how could I not understand the feeling of losing loved ones? Brother Shen is dead. He was tortured to death by Wu Ying while trying to save other rogue cultivators. Brother Zhou lost all his cultivation and can no longer cultivate. I am a rogue cultivator, but I couldn't save the forty-six rogue cultivators in the secret realm. They all called me 'Little Sister,' as gentle and patient as a brother would be with his sister. They were so kind, but I will never see them again."
Xie Wanning held the female disciple tightly. She didn't shed tears, but her light blue eyes were filled with sadness.
Finally, no one stood up to criticize Xie Wanning anymore.
Since you were both soaked by the same rain, what reason do you have to blame the other person for not bringing an umbrella?
After an unknown amount of time, the female disciple left Xie Wanning's embrace, her eyes red-rimmed, but with less hatred in them.
Xie Wanning patted her head, her tone encouraging: "You must cultivate diligently. Remember, demonic cultivators are your enemies. I believe you will avenge your brother one day."
The female disciple nodded as if she understood, her gaze resolute: "I, Yu Qing, an inner disciple of the Tianyan Sect, will do everything in my power to eliminate the demonic cultivators and avenge my brother."
Xie Wanning nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the other sect disciples. Her eyes flashed, and she said firmly, "You can tell me if you have any questions. I, Xu Weilin, have a clear conscience."
The crowd looked at each other, none of them willing to be the first to step forward.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, I only have one question: how did you obtain the sword and alchemy inheritances? You are a body cultivator, you don't know swordsmanship or alchemy, how could you possibly win the competition?" Ye Qianqian stepped forward, she had always suspected Xu Weilin of cheating in the competition. After all, even the system said that Xu Weilin didn't know swordsmanship or alchemy at all.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xie Wanning's eyes, then the corners of her mouth turned up, her smile meaningful: "Fellow Daoist Ye, sometimes you shouldn't believe what you see with your own eyes, because it may not be true."
"So, you actually know swordsmanship and alchemy, but you pretend you don't in front of everyone?" Ye Qianqian couldn't believe it. Could the system's judgment be wrong?
Xie Wanning smiled smugly: "Pretty much, just like you said."
She couldn't reveal her amnesia, lest Song Huai'an and the others suspect her identity.
Ye Qianqian's face flushed red with anger, her eyes filled with the rage of being mocked.
Song Huai'an lowered his head in thought, recalling Xu Weilin's performance in the competition. Although he couldn't tell what sword technique she used, it was obviously impossible for her to learn how to use a sword in such a short time. Therefore, Xu Weilin had been hiding her strength from the beginning to make others underestimate her. She was truly cunning!
"Did you force other sect disciples to buy the inheritance?" someone asked, puzzled.
Xie Wanning silently rolled her eyes in her mind and took out the contract signed with the four major sects directly from the storage bag in her soul.
Fortunately, I didn't put such an important contract in an ordinary storage bag.
After Xie Wanning was struck by Wu Ying's lightning, she inadvertently discovered a storage bag within her soul, filled with eighth and ninth-grade treasures. Just to be safe, Xie Wanning placed the contract in the soul storage bag and also took an eighth-grade teleportation talisman, intending to use it for herself. However, to ensure Si Jinchuan's successful escape, Xie Wanning gave the talisman to him.
Upon seeing the contract bearing the mark of the Heavenly Dao, everyone formed a general guess.
A contract can only be reached if both parties sign it sincerely, and it cannot be reached by unilateral coercion.
Therefore, the claims made by those returning disciples that Xu Weilin forced them to purchase the inheritance are all lies.
Xie Wanning's gaze swept over Song Huai'an, Xia Mengqi, and the others, deliberately drawing out her words: "Fellow Daoists, you all have good memories, you wouldn't have forgotten something like this, would you? There are your handwritten signatures on this!"
Song Huai'an and the others couldn't even lift their heads. At that time, they were convinced that Xu Weilin was doomed in the secret realm, so they spread rumors and shifted all the blame onto her, just to evade their own responsibilities.
Yan Ze glanced at Song Huai'an, who looked flustered, and his heart sank. He immediately felt dissatisfied and disappointed with Song Huai'an.
The other three sect leaders were also ashamed of their disciples' habitual lying.
However, they could not allow Xu Weilin to ruin the reputation of their personal disciples in front of the eight major sects and other smaller sects. After all, the reputation of a personal disciple is related to the reputation of the sect itself.
Xie Wanning knew what these people were thinking, of course. She couldn't go too far, so she sighed, her voice filled with unspeakable sorrow: "The Undefeated Daoist is magnanimous, hoping his swordsmanship and alchemy can contribute to the cultivation world, which is why he allowed me to sell my inheritance. I have already given it to four inner disciples of the Tianyan Sect and the Tianji Pavilion, and to Fellow Daoist Xia of the Nine Cauldrons Division." Xie Wanning raised her eyes, clenched her fists, and suppressed her anger: "But unforeseen events can happen. The four disciples of the Tianyan Sect and the Tianji Pavilion were all killed by Wu Ying. I am very sorry for their deaths, so the contract is invalid."
With that, Xie Wanning tore up the two contracts between Tianyan Sect and Tianji Pavilion, rendering the contracts invalid.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, because of the appearance of the demonic cultivators, I didn't have time to fulfill the contract and pass on the inheritance to you. But you also didn't keep the contract. After I left the secret realm, you didn't have the Qingyun Sect protect me, and you even allowed the Qingyun Sect to send people to hunt me down. Therefore, we have both broken the contract, and this contract is invalid." A ruthless glint flashed in Xie Wanning's eyes. Since Ye Qianqian didn't care about the promise at all, then she could forget about getting the inheritance.
[Host, stop her!]
Ye Qianqian rushed to Xie Wanning, trying to stop her from tearing up the contract, but it was too late; the contract had already become a pile of worthless paper.
Xie Wanning whispered in Ye Qianqian's ear, "Ye Qianqian, do you think I don't know who's spreading rumors? You'd better behave yourself, or I can't guarantee I won't go crazy."
Ye Qianqian's face turned pale. She could feel the murderous intent in Xu Weilin's tone, and she trembled with fear.
Xie Wanning patted Ye Qianqian on the shoulder: "Fellow Daoist Ye, I hope you can keep your promise next time. Maybe we can become great partners."
Ye Qianqian forced a smile, but dared not linger near Xie Wanning. She immediately ran away and returned to Song Huai'an's side.
The final contract was signed by Xia Mengqi of the Nine Cauldrons Division and Xu Weilin. Xu Weilin had kept her promise and passed on her inheritance to Xia Mengqi, and Xia Mengqi had promised 100,000 high-grade spirit stones…
Before Xie Wanning could say anything more, Xia Jingru, the head of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, spoke up: "The legacy of the Undefeated Daoist has greatly helped my eldest disciple's alchemy, so, Fellow Daoist Xu, you will definitely receive these 100,000 high-grade spirit stones." As she spoke, a heavy storage bag was tossed into Xie Wanning's arms, inside which were indeed 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Xia Mengqi had already explained the matter in the Void Secret Realm to Xia Rujing. Xia Rujing was cautious and had prepared 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. Moreover, Jiudingsi claimed that as a pill cultivator, he was not good at fighting, so he did not participate in the pursuit of Xu Weilin.
Xie Wanning smiled with satisfaction and bowed respectfully: "Sect Leader Xie keeps his promise. I look forward to our next collaboration."
Xia Rujing didn't speak, she just nodded slightly.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's begin the sect competition!" Elder Wang suggested somewhat nervously.
No one objected.
The sect competition is about to begin.
