87: Wang Family Past

As soon as Wang Xian appeared, he led his people directly towards the area where the Lin Family was located.

Compared to the Li Family, the Lin Family and Wang Family clearly had a closer relationship. Seeing the other party approach, Lin Zhishou also stopped chatting.

"Brother Zhishou." Wang Xian cupped his hands in greeting towards him.

"I didn't expect it would be you coming." Lin Zhishou said, somewhat surprised.

"I also happened to come to the Immortal Sect to take a look." Wang Xian said with a smile.

Lin Zhishou then looked at the crowd and asked doubtfully, "Didn't the Sixth Gongzi come?"

The Sixth Gongzi he mentioned is named Wang Lang, who belongs to the Main Family's direct line and has a status comparable to Lin Xin.

At the same time, he was also the one engaged to Lin Xin.

Hearing this, Wang Xian revealed a look of exasperation: "He's been spoiled rotten. He actually found studying at the Immortal Sect boring, so he ran off to travel outside. We still don't know where he is."

"He basically comes to the Immortal Sect to study every time. It's true that this place isn't of much help to him." Lin Zhishou comforted him.

While the two were talking, Zhou Luo also looked towards Wang Yuwei.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually walked directly towards him.

"Zhou Luo, long time no see." Wang Yuwei revealed a sweet smile.

Zhou Luo immediately felt countless pairs of eyes fall upon him.

If looks could kill, he estimated he would already be dead beyond Death.

"Cough, cough, long time no see." He nodded awkwardly in greeting.

Wang Yuwei still wanted to speak, but Zhou Luo quickly said, "Um, I still have something to do, let's talk later."

After speaking, he walked directly towards Lin Yueheng, as if he truly had something to do, and began chatting enthusiastically with him.

There was nothing he could do. Wang Yuwei's attire clearly indicated she was looking for a husband, yet she happened to greet him first. He didn't want to become the target of public criticism.

Who knows what kind of minds these Family Disciples present had? It wouldn't be worth it to gain a few enemies for no reason.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yuwei let out a light laugh, only feeling that this person was very interesting.

Afterwards, she walked towards the location where Lin Xin was.

"Brother Zhou, you know that woman?"

Lin Yueheng looked at Zhou Luo, who had suddenly joined them, and asked curiously.

"We met at the last Spirit Pill Gathering, we're not very familiar." Zhou Luo said vaguely.

"Is that so? I wonder if Brother Zhou could help introduce me?" Lin Yueheng asked with a smile on his lips.

"Brother Yueheng, you already have a crowd of wives and concubines, why not let us have a chance?" Someone beside him immediately joked.

"That's right, Brother Zhou, introduce us." The others said one after another.

For them, being able to marry a stunning beauty like Wang Yuwei was a great blessing, and perhaps could even elevate their Zhou Family status.

"I'm really not familiar with her." Zhou Luo said, spreading his hands helplessly.

The others didn't believe him, and all showed meaningful glances.

On the other side, Wang Yuwei was already standing in front of Lin Xin.

"It seems he's not very familiar with you."

Lin Xin met those gem-like brilliant eyes and spoke.

"It's always best to avoid suspicion." Wang Yuwei smiled sweetly.

"Heh, I really don't know why you'd be interested in him." Lin Xin said with a somewhat disdainful expression.

Wang Yuwei smiled without speaking.

Although she came from a collateral branch, she had a good relationship with Lin Xin, the Lin Family's Third Miss.

Because their Mothers were biological sisters, and the two of them got along well, they were quite close.

"How has Aunt Fang been recently?" Lin Xin asked in a low voice.

Hearing this, a hint of sadness flickered in Wang Yuwei's eyes, but she quickly adjusted and smiled, "Still the same."

Lin Xin pursed her lips and comforted her, "As long as you can become a First-Order Top-Grade Alchemist, Aunt Fang will eventually be released."

The Aunt Fang she mentioned was Wang Yuwei's Mother, Wang Fang.

Wang Fang, who possessed a Six-Rank Spiritual Root, violated Family rules by privately having relations with an outsider and giving birth to a child, which brought about the Zhou Family's punishment. To this day, she is still confined in the Zhou Family's Forbidden Ground.

As for Wang Yuwei, she was the child born from that person and an ordinary person.

Her Father had long since died due to the Wang Family's wrath. As for her, if it weren't for being found to also possess a Six-Rank Spiritual Root, she would likely have been discarded at will.

After all, her birth also represented the Wang Family's disgrace.

One must know that a woman with a Six-Rank Spiritual Root bears the responsibility of giving birth to high-quality descendants for the Zhou Family. Now, Wang Fang actually directly combined with an ordinary person who had no Ling Gen (Spiritual Root). How could this not enrage the Zhou Family?

Wang Yuwei was raised by Wang Xian since she was young, and she has been following him to learn Pill Refining techniques until today.

It was precisely because she showed talent in Pill Refining that the Zhou Family made an exception and allowed her the chance to see her Mother every month.

However, due to years of imprisonment, her Mother, who was once exceptionally beautiful, has become increasingly decadent. Furthermore, because she abandoned Cultivation and was unable to resist the erosion of the Forbidden Ground's fire poison, her health has worsened day by day, and she doesn't have many years left to live.

In response to this, the Zhou Family not only showed no reaction but also forbade Wang Yuwei from providing the Azure Water Pill that could alleviate the fire poison to the other party.

Because Wang Fang, who only possessed a Six-Rank Spiritual Root but had no Realm Cultivation, had lost her value.

If it weren't to appease Wang Yuwei, the Zhou Family would likely have abandoned her long ago.

This was also the reason why Wang Yuwei needed Zhou Luo to provide the Azure Water Pill.

Of course, she did not tell Lin Xin about this matter.

Because she could not guarantee that the other party wouldn't tell the Zhou Family about this matter. Once the Zhou Family found out, it would likely accelerate her Mother's Death.

Choosing a Lin Family son-in-law might be more reliable than people from the two families.

...

Just as everyone was waiting, a group of people walked out from behind the ancient bronze gate ahead.

Leading them was a Middle-aged man wearing a green robe.

He walked out with his hands behind his back, his dignified face full of arrogance, and a powerful aura of authority emanating from him.

As soon as the man appeared, everyone immediately stopped talking and bowed in greeting.

Lin Zhishou and the other leaders came before him, their postures humble, and said in unison, "Deacon Zhao."

Deacon Zhao ignored them, simply took out a booklet on his own, and said to the crowd, "Everyone, separate according to the skills you are proficient in."

After speaking, over a dozen Outer Sect Disciples walked out from behind him and announced the skills they were in charge of.

Everyone began to move, starting to walk towards their respective areas.

Apart from the Four Great Arts and some mainstream skills, most skills were relatively useless, so often one Disciple would be responsible for over a dozen types of skills.

Before long, everyone was in position.

Zhou Luo and Lin Xin stood together, and next to Lin Xin stood Wang Yuwei.

Everyone eagerly awaited for Deacon Zhao to continue speaking.

"Before entering the Sect to study, there are some rules you need to pay attention to." Deacon Zhao looked indifferently at the crowd and said slowly.

Afterwards, a Disciple next to him stepped forward and began to read out the rules.

There weren't many rules, but the most important one was that everyone could only cultivate and study within the designated areas. If anyone was found violating this, they would be directly expelled.

It was expected that Cultivation would be limited to specific areas. After all, the Immortal Sect couldn't possibly allow an outsider like you to roam freely throughout this mountain range.

After the rules were read out, Deacon Zhao spoke indifferently, "You may all leave."
