Paragon of Sin

f men.

Wei Wuyin understood what she wanted to convey, and it comforted his heart.
Thinking a bit, he said: ”Do you know what happened to Wei Si? ”

Su Mei ’s smile froze unnaturally, and she softly sighed.
This caused Wei Wuyin ’s heart to twitch, but he still wanted to know.
Wei Si wasn ’t his true cousin, as in they weren ’t blood related.
Instead, he was adopted by his uncle when they were younger.
Supposedly, they had found him near a river when he was just a baby.

No one knew he would grow up with such a unique physique and appearance.
While others had treated him as an outcast and outsider, Wei Wuyin had always seen him as the loveable and naive little cousin, and thus cared for him.

Su Mei answered, ”When you left, Wei Si had waited for your return.
He stayed and cultivated as you said, but after a while, you didn ’t return.
When news of your certain death had been revealed, he went berserk.
Something inside him…broke. ” At the end, her voice shifted in tone, sounding depressed and unsure.

”What?! ” Wei Wuyin ’s eyes snapped open with a fiercely questioning glance.
Wei Si and him were incredibly close, like brothers even.
He had always taken care of him since young, guiding him and ensuring he had what he needed in life.
His heart quivered when he learned he went berserk.

As if feeling his emotions, Bai Lin screeched with sadness and anger.
Without being ordered, she slowed her flight speed in mid-air.
She seemed ready to perform a u-turn and return to the sect at a moment ’s notice.
She had met Wei Si and he was such a weird softy, and she would often play with him.
Despite his large appearance, he was like a righteous and lovable teddy bear.

Wei Wuyin felt her emotions.
His own was just as intense as his qi started to circulate faster.
It was as if all Su Mei had to say was that the sect harmed Wei Si and he would return to the sect and slaughter them to the last.
All of them.
His eyes told that much as he looked to her for further answers.

Su Mei felt that intense gaze and slightly shivered from the suppressed killing intent.
She felt as if her next words could determine the fates of millions, and this feeling was as vivid as her heartbeat.

She hastily explained, ”I ’m not sure what happened, but I do know the Scarlet Solaris Mountain suffered damage after.
I can ’t say the extent, but the Ancestral Elder was said to have come out to prevent Wei Si from causing further destruction.
However, in the end, Wei Si escaped. ”

”What?! The Ancestral Elder came out and he still escaped? How? ” He couldn ’t hide his disbelief, even Bai Lin let out a confused whimper.
After all, the Ancestral Elder was a legitimate Godlord while the Wei Si was only at the First Stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, with a body that could rival Third Phase experts.
He was far from being his match, nor had the ability to retreat while facing such an enemy.

”I ’m not sure on the details, because the sect formation activated and even I had to retreat.
I do know, however, that someone had broken through the barrier and took him away, ” Su Mei said with helplessness.
She had only heard the general recounting of the story, except for the last bit.

The formation had ceased abruptly and she personally saw Wei Si brought away by a dark brown ray of light.

Wei Wuyin frowned throughout her story, but the confusion piled on.

”I wonder… ” he slowly pondered and then asked, ”how long did this happen? ”

”Five years and ten months ago, ” Su Mei answered swiftly.
If Wei Wuyin wanted to know the exact day, she knew that too.

His pupils constricted, and he had an idea.
Could it be that when Wei Si went berserk, he had called upon something? Whatever happened, in the end, he had escaped and broken the spiritual formations and qi arrays of the sect.

Wu Xinghong had to have been injured then, right?.

”Before Mei Mei returned? ” He added on another question.

Su Mei nodded her head, then added: ”Three months before he left, exactly.
When she returned, the Helios Witch had also joined the sect in an official capacity. ”

”I see. ” He felt like he knew a little more about what happened, such as what was responsible for the Ancestral Elder ’s current state, and even the Helios Witch ’s return.
In fact, he could ’ve called in a chit of sorts to have her reside in until he recovered.

After all, the Helios Witch had to have some interactions with the Scarlet Solaris Sect if she had returned to heal Mei Mei before.
While he knew he was still ignorant of quite a few things, he assumed some of the events.

He soft sighed.
The only thing he could do was hope Wei Si was okay.
However, if he was dead, then he was dead.
If he was alive, then he would be alive.
He didn ’t dwell.
As someone with a ticking clock on life, he didn ’t feel the need to overreact or make any immature promises as he did before.
While it might sound cold-hearted, he didn ’t have the luxury, time, or ability to search the world for him.

He softly rubbed Bai Lin ’s back.
She promptly resumed her flight path.

”We ’re going to the Wu Central Lands! ” Wei Wuyin said, his eyes glowing with anticipation.

Su Mei nodded obediently.
Wherever Wei Wuyin would go, she would follow.

Wei Wuyin couldn ’t wait to see the landmarks known throughout the country, the Wu Astral Tower, the Jade Pearl Lake, and the Warring States Pagoda.
These were just three of the many places he wished to see.
Outside of those places, there were people.

In the Wu Country, there was a lifestyle-type force that ranked cultivators of prominent renown and status.
It included any force that had a Mortal God-level figure standing behind it.
One of these ranking lists was a beauty ranking.

According to the list, the top three beauties of Wu Country were the Granddaughter of the Aqua Siren, who was the descendant of the Godlord of the Aqua Echo Sect, the Bai Clan ’s White Holy Priestess, who was a Mortal God, and the youngest Princess of Wu: Wu Baozhai.

That was ten years ago.
When he had learned those names still hadn ’t been moved from the ranking list, his desire to see them grew even further.

”Bai Lin, faster! ” Wei Wuyin impatiently urged.
