Chapter 64: Dark Clouds Gather

  ♂?,,

  Wei Ziming did not expect Mo Rou Rou to behave in such a way, although she was speaking in a low voice to him. As a cultivator, Bai Pei could hear even the slightest sound clearly at such close range.

  However, this can't be blamed on Mo Rou Rou. Who told Bai Pei to be so self-righteous and speak nonsense in front of Wei Zi Ming, causing Mo Rou Rou to worry that Wei Zi Ming would misunderstand? So she had no choice but to personally explain things to Wei Zi Ming.

  "Hey! Brother Bai, are you alright?" Wei Ziming asked cautiously as he looked at Bai Peideng's stiffened expression.

  "Never mind, Brother Ziming. I suddenly remembered something and will take my leave first." Bai Pei took a deep breath, then said to Wei Ziming before turning around and leaving.

  In the next moment, Bai Pei's face suddenly turned gloomy and iron-blue, with anger, shame, and embarrassment flashing in his eyes.

  Looking at the gradually distant figure of Bai Pei, Wei Ziming murmured with some worry, "Bai Pei came from afar, but encountered such an embarrassing situation, I don't know if he will do something stupid?"

  "It shouldn't be, after all he is also a cultivator, if one doesn't have a persevering heart, the path of cultivation can't be walked far"

  "Never mind, even if he's being foolish, it's none of my business"

  Wei Zi Ming slightly shook his head and decided not to bother with Bai Pei anymore.

  Looking at the still closed door, Wei Ziming was really speechless. He let out a helpless sigh and said "Rou Rou, I'm leaving".

  "Alright! Let's go!" Mo Rou heard this and although she felt a bit disappointed, she clearly let out a sigh of relief, then spoke up.

  After leaving here, Wei Ziming went straight to the west wing of the mansion. Eldest Uncle Wei Yanxin was in charge of the west wing, so the best way to understand what happened this month is to go find Eldest Uncle.

  As he walked west along the street towards the Western Mansion, as the distance drew closer to the Western Mansion, Wei Ziming faintly caught a whiff of a faint bloody smell.

  At first, Wei Ziming thought it was just an illusion, but when the faint smell of blood lingered on, he finally sensed something was off. After careful observation, he discovered some sand stained with blood.

  "What exactly happened in Weijiazhuang this month?" Seeing many places with blood-stained sand, Wei Ziming was shocked. He knew that something must have happened in Weijiazhuang this month, because the appearance of blood-stained sand in Weijiazhuang was absolutely not a normal phenomenon.

  However, what puzzled Wei Ziming was that when he went to the west wing, on the way, he met many servants, and through observation, he found that these servants did not show a terrified expression, but were as usual, busy with their own work.

  There were bloodstains in many places in Weijiazhuang, and these servants seemed to have no extra feeling about it, which was absolutely not a normal phenomenon. With a nervous heart, Wei Ziming subconsciously quickened his pace.

  After a while, Wei Ziming had already arrived at the large courtyard in the west. After walking through several corridors, he could see the conference hall in the large courtyard.

  At this moment, vaguely visible in the council chamber are two people, one of whom is Uncle Wei Yanxin and the other Grandfather Wei Yongde.

  If nothing had happened at the Wei family village, Grandfather Wei Yongde would usually be in seclusion to cultivate his skills and rarely get involved with things in the village. So seeing Grandfather's appearance made Wei Ziming feel even more that something had indeed happened at the Wei family village over this past month.

  "Grandfather! Eldest Uncle!" Wei Ziming walked into the council chamber, respectfully bowed to the two of them, and then spoke up.

  "Ah! Very good, Zǐ Míng has broken through!" Grandfather Wei Yongde looked at Wei Zǐ Míng with a naturally emerging smile on his face, while sensing the sixth layer of Qi mechanism on him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed with delight.

  "Good! Zi Ming's cultivation has reached the sixth level, his combat power will definitely increase by a notch." Da Bo Wei Yanxin felt a slight shock when he sensed the aura on Wei Ziming's body, and then opened his mouth with a relieved tone.

  "Grandfather, Eldest Uncle, what exactly happened in the manor this month? When I came over, I faintly smelled a hint of blood and moreover, the servants in the manor seem to be unaffected by it." Seeing the two masters of the manor, Wei Ziming spoke out his doubts.

  "Ah! Indeed, something big has happened this month. Our family, the Wei family, has uprooted both the You and Zhao families. It's a major event. To outsiders, it seems that our family has slaughtered all the experts of the You and Zhao families. Although we emerged victorious in the end, we must have suffered greatly as well. Therefore, some petty people are thinking of taking advantage of us." Grandfather Wei Yongde nodded slightly upon hearing this, then spoke up.

  "Who dares to take advantage of the Wei family's misfortune?" Upon hearing this, Wei Ziming's eyebrows furrowed in concern. He thought carefully and realized that if the Wei family was severely weakened, there would indeed be people who would try to take advantage of the situation, especially now that Huangsha County was a hotbed of conflicting interests and powers.

  "It's the Horse Bandits' 'Blood Blade', hum! Although the leader of that group of horse bandits has a cultivation level of ten layers, my Wei family is not weak either. That night, Second Grandfather took action and captured all the horse bandits, so the bloody smell I smelled was the blood of the horse bandits." Grandfather Wei Yongde said with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "So that's how it is. With Second Master, a half-step Innate Expert, taking action, those bandits would have to obediently await their deaths. No wonder the servants in the manor didn't leave any psychological shadows after being attacked by the bandits." Wei Ziming nodded slightly and suddenly enlightened, opening his mouth to say.

  "Alas! If only things were that simple." At this time, Da Bo Wei Yan suddenly let out a sigh and then spoke up.

  "Ah! Is there something else?" Wei Ziming sensed vaguely from his uncle's sigh that the Wei family seemed to be facing some kind of insoluble problem, and so he asked.

  "Ah! The Horse Thief 'Blood Blade' is just a superficial threat, but there are hidden ones that our family cannot withstand." Grandfather Wei Yongde also sighed with worry.

  "Is there a coveter lurking in the depths that our family cannot resist? It doesn't make sense! Even if we, the Wei family, were to destroy the You and Zhao families and gather their wealth together, this wealth would not be coveted by some major powers." Wei Ziming was suddenly startled, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was something unreasonable about this matter.

  "The hidden profiteer is not after these riches, remember the incident of using iron toad to kill Wu Anran!" Grandfather shook his head slightly and said.

  "Remember! How? Could it be that those people are after the 'Toad Stove'? No, that's not right. The 'Toad Stove' has never been shown to outsiders before, and everyone who has seen it has already been killed." Between the lines, Wei Ziming grasped some key points, but still shook his head slightly.

  "Ah! The one hiding in the depths is actually coveting 'Hamaofen', because in front of the gate of Weijiazhuang, there is a very obvious and indelible mark. Through this mark, it's enough to make some people have some associations." Finally, Grandfather Wei Yongde sighed and opened his mouth with some unease.
