Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World

After half an hour, the disciples cleared out, though some found something they loved more than their hatred for the definite reunification. . .

Being grateful to their Fate Defying Elder.

Still, for some female disciples who were victims of men's cruel actions, the existence of someone like Yang Wei brought a strange sense of happiness.

It was as if his kindness somehow made up for the sins of those who had wronged them.

They were simply content.

Yang Wei approached Pan Huan and Huo Zhenwei.

"Is he alright?" he asked, concerned.

Trying to appear strong, Huo Zhenwei held his lightly bleeding head and grunted, "I-, I'm fine, Senior Brother. You don't need to worry about me."

Pan Huan shook her head in worry. "N-no, you're definitely not!" she contradicted.

Looking up at Yang Wei, her genuine concern for Huo Zhenwei's health was expressed in her eyes. After all, he'd taken a powerful hit from a Spirit Gathering cultivator. If Lu Lin had used her full strength, it was likely that a Mortal Realm cultivator like Huo Zhenwei wouldn't have survived, as a full-power punch from a mid-stage Spirit Gathering cultivator could crush mountains.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Fate Defying Elder!" Pan Huan respectfully called to him.

Yang Wei raised an eyebrow at her inquiry. "Yes?"

With a bow of her head, Pan Huan requested, "May I be permitted to take Brother Huo to get treated?"

Yang Wei remained silent for a moment.

First, he observed Huo Zhenwei.

The way he shook his head and looked so reluctant to go anywhere with this woman already gave Yang Wei an answer.

"I don't think..."

Yang Wei paused again.

Hmm, Yue'er mentioned something about Zhenwei being scared of women. She even mentioned a time when she had hope for him 'cause he kept visiting someone with food and even crashing at their place sometimes, and she thought it was a girl. Turns out it was just me... *chuckle* Strange, but somewhat funny.

Pan Huan seems to have a thing for him, at least that's what I think... So, I guess I'll have to give him a little push. Sorry, Zhen.

Eventually, he sighed and relented, "You know what, you're free to take him."

Pan Huan's eyes lit up with happiness. "Thank you, Fate Defying Elder!" she exclaimed, beaming at Yang Wei.

He simply smiled back at her.

The only person not smiling was Huo Zhenwei, his face pale as if his soul was about to depart his body.

WHY DID YOU BETRAY ME, SENIOR BROTHER──?!

To avoid feeling guilty, Yang Wei cleared his throat and turned away from Huo Zhenwei. "You should be thankful..." he mumbled.

Almost on the verge of tears, Huo Zhenwei reached out his hand and sobbed loudly.

DON'T LEAVE ME HERE ALONE!!

"Alright, let's go," said Pan Huan, assisting him by placing one of his arms over her shoulder and supporting him with her own arm.

Together, they began to walk away.

Yang Wei then encountered Jin Tianyu, who quickly clenched his fist in his palm and bowed his head. "Elder!" he greeted respectfully.

Yang Wei smiled and gestured back at Huo Zhenwei with his thumb.

"I think you should keep an eye on him..."

Jin Tianyu lifted his head slightly, concerned. "Is there a problem?"

"I just have a feeling Zhen will pass out if he's near a woman for that long."

"WHAT──?!"

Jin Tianyu panicked and quickly dashed after Huo Zhenwei as if he himself were being chased by a pack of wolves.

Looking around, Yang Wei noticed the place was already empty.

I should head back and see what Yue'er and Lin'er are cooking tonight...

As he closed his eyes, about to leave, he saw Sun Yujing still standing there, gazing at the setting sun.

"Hm?"

She seemed completely lost in thought, as if her body was present but her mind had wandered a thousand miles away.

Soon. . .

Yang Wei adjusted some of her hair strands, causing her to gasp in shock as she realized he was standing right before her.

When did he get here? Surely, that was her first thought.

"A stunning woman like yourself should always be aware of her surroundings. You never know when a potential suitor might come your way."

Yang Wei remarked to Sun Yujing.

She remained silent, her gaze fixed on him.

What is he even...

To avoid any awkward silence, Yang Wei continued speaking, ensuring the conversation flowed. . .

"As an elder in the White Serpent Sect, I'm sure many would appreciate seeing you in good spirits at the sect's reunification ceremony, Sister Sun. A smile suits you well."

Sun Yujing turned her gaze away. "Thank you for your consideration, Fate Defying Elder. I'll keep that in mind," she replied with a solemn expression, still clearly troubled by something.

She took her leave.

"You're worried about your sister, aren't you?"

Yang Wei's words were spot on. It hit the nail on the head. After observing her and Sun Yurong for a while, he was sure that was the only thing that could prompt such a reaction from them. They seemed so dejected, as if they'd lost all hope.

Sun Yujing turned back to face him, pretending to be ignorant. "What do you mean?" she asked.

Expectedly, Yang Wei didn't buy her act.

"There's no need to pretend. Sun Yuying is your sister, isn't she? I'm sure you're aware of her recent breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, considering the news has spread far and wide."

Sun Yujing tightened her grip on her oxtail saber and grit her teeth, leaving once more without another word.

"I don't expect you to take my advice, Sister Sun. Honestly, I don't know much about siblings... I was forced by my parents to kill my only two siblings as a rite of passage."

Sun Yujing's attention was caught, and she glanced back at Yang Wei.

His expression was blank, which somehow reminded her of her mother's recent demeanor.

Maybe she had been looking like that lately too.

"When you've spilled the blood of your own kin, you tend to lose touch with any other feeling in the world. You can imagine how it feels to be isolated at the top and seen not as a child that should be showered with love, but rather a tool for the supremacy of your clan... If you can't, trust me, you're looking at a product of that.

If you live as long as I have with that sort of guilt, you tend to lose all feeling. I'm an empty shell; there's nothing inside me at all. I know there isn't... because I've checked."

His words pierced Sun Yujing deeply, cutting to the core of her being.

It wasn't a physical wound but a wound of the heart.

Yang Wei approached her and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Please, just go talk to your sister. She misses her family, she's lost and afraid. While she may not realize it, I do, because I've seen her pain... Let her know she's missed and loved."

Sun Yujing fought back tears as her lower lip trembled with emotion.

Yang Wei cleared his throat and took his leave.

"You three have a chance to be a family again. Don't let the fear of rejection or the fear of reality stop you from making that happen."

Perhaps, if I wasn't scared of getting rejected by my parents, I'd have had the guts to tell them I wouldn't spill blood.

Now, Sun Yujing had something significant to contemplate.
