"Sister Wei Rou, during the Sea Tribe's invasion of the Eastern Wasteland, it wasn't Ji Mei who was in charge; she was just out for a leisurely stroll," Wei Chen struggled to explain. In truth, Ji Mei had not been the one orchestrating that incident. The Sea Tribe had long planned their attack on the continent as part of a routine training exercise. Whether Ji Mei was involved or not made no difference.
But as a victim, how could Weirou possibly believe Wei Chen's explanation?
As expected, Weirou showed no mercy, stating bluntly, "I have deep-seated hatred for the Sea Tribe. No matter how eloquently you speak, that's an undeniable fact. Ji Mei is the Sea Princess and my enemy; don't expect me to reconcile with her. The fact that I haven't taken action against her is already showing great restraint."
Take action against Ji Mei?
Wei Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. Ji Mei's strength was far beyond what Weirou could handle!
"Alright then, I'll do my best to see if I can find a Wei Family member. You promised me that once they appear safely, you and Ji Mei will have no grievances left."
"Of course." Weirou's expression turned cold, the earlier flirtation completely vanished. In this situation, if Wei Chen really went after Ji Mei, the outcome would be disastrous; Weirou would never allow that.
"Sister Wei Rou, then you stay put while I go talk to Ji Mei about this issue."
"Fine."
Weirou coldly saw him off as Wei Chen left her room, feeling dejected and disheartened. Before entering Weirou's room, he had thought that her jealousy over him bringing back two women was merely a simple matter, but in reality, things were far more complicated.
Wei Chen had some feelings for the Wei Family of the Eastern Wasteland—though perhaps not much. After all, they had only adopted him and treated him poorly. The most painful memories of his life were those humiliating days spent with the Wei Family in the Eastern Wasteland.
If it weren't for Weirou always standing up for him, he might not have survived until now.
"Paralyze me! How could I forget something so important? Ji Mei is indeed an enemy of Weirou; no wonder Sister Wei Rou looked so terrible when she saw Ji Mei. I should have realized it back then—what a blunder!"
"But as the saying goes, even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually. If I don't bring Ji Mei out, can I really hide her? This is going to be difficult. We're already in the Central Domain; finding someone from the Eastern Region or Eastern Wasteland will be quite challenging. If we were still in the Eastern Region, relying on our connections with the Ancient Spirit Academy and Mu Family's influence in the Eastern Wasteland might have made things easier."
Wei Chen felt overwhelmed, his mind racing with thoughts that made him want to scream.
At that moment, Old Man Han Mang stepped forward and pulled Wei Chen to a secluded spot, whispering urgently, "Wei Chen, tell me, who exactly is that Donghua? How can his strength be so formidable? His Soul Power Realm doesn't seem that impressive."
Han Mang's rapid-fire questions revealed just how anxious he was. The appearance of Donghua was significant, and Han Mang couldn't afford to be careless.
Wei Chen chuckled, "Relax, old man. Donghua is my master. Wherever I go, he follows. The great support for the Peach Blossom Sect has already been found. Besides, do you really think Donghua is the only powerful ally for the Peach Blossom Sect? According to the Soul World’s Soul Power Realm, Gu Yue Hongzi is no slouch either; his strength is on par with Thunderstorm and Ji Pokong. If you want, you could establish the Peach Blossom Sect as a Tenth-Rank Sect without anyone daring to cause trouble. If any blind fools come looking for a fight, one will die for each they send; that's my promise."
Han Mang sighed in disbelief. "I really don't know what kind of luck you've had to gather so many strong people around you. How did you manage to keep them all?"
"Donghua is my master, Gu Yuehong is my ace fighter, and Ni Junlin is my personal bodyguard. Don't underestimate any of them; even Ni Junlin can defeat mid-level Soul Realm experts. Consider my proposal seriously—if you're interested, we could indeed establish a Tenth-Rank Sect. Our strength is sufficient, and when the Peach Blossom Sect is founded, Thunderstorm will come personally."
"What? You mean Thunderstorm from the Fire Sect?"
"Of course! Is there anyone else named Thunderstorm in the Central Domain?" Wei Chen asked with a grin.
Han Mang was completely taken aback by Wei Chen's words. He stared at him as if he had seen a ghost and then chuckled bitterly. "You... I’m starting to find you more and more inscrutable. Fine, do as you please; after all, none of us plan to take on the role of sect leader for the Peach Blossom Sect."
"Uh... not you guys? Am I supposed to?" Wei Chen asked in shock.
"Absolutely! When we agreed to battle Daxing Gate, Pharmaceutical Sovereign made it clear: I'm the Grand Elder, Han Che is the Second Elder, and Pharmaceutical Sovereign is the Third Elder. We three old fellows don’t have time to be sect leaders! That position belongs solely to you. You young people should explore more; with you at the helm, the Peach Blossom Sect could become a top force in the Central Domain!" Han Mang said earnestly.
Wei Chen was taken aback; these old men were truly adept at shirking responsibility.
However, he had never considered taking on the role of sect leader—he had no interest in it whatsoever. Being a sect leader meant being bogged down with trivial matters; where would he find time to pursue his own interests?
But aside from Wei Chen, who else is qualified to be the sect leader?
Wei Chen was quite troubled. He shook his head, a bitter smile on his face, and said, "Old Man Han Mang, you can't push your responsibilities onto me. The Peach Blossom Sect was established based on Peach Blossom Island; logically and emotionally, you should be the sect leader. Are you trying to pass your rightful position to me just to get closer to your old flame?"
Han Mang slapped Wei Chen hard on the shoulder, angrily saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let me tell you, the Peach Blossom Sect is yours. You have to take this position as sect leader, whether you like it or not!"
"I'll tell you this: the position of sect leader absolutely belongs to you. No matter what, I will not take it."
Upon hearing this, Han Mang deflated like a punctured balloon, instantly looking dejected.
He looked at Wei Chen with a pitiful expression and said, "You have to pity this old man. At my age, how could I possibly serve as the sect leader of the Peach Blossom Sect? Besides, just like you said, the Peach Blossom Sect is built upon Peach Blossom Island. It might be considered an inheritance of Peach Blossom Island, but now that so many powerful individuals have joined, it could even become a Tenth-Rank Sect. How could I possibly lead the Peach Blossom Sect? If I were in charge, would anyone respect me? Donghua, Gu Yuehong, and that Ni Junlin are all your people; their combat power is thousands of times stronger than us three old men. Are you really going to let us three old men be disrespected and laughed at?"
"Don't worry about that. Donghua, Gu Yuehong, and Ni Junlin will all stay at the Peach Blossom Sect. If any issues arise within the sect, they will step in... Well, if Donghua doesn't act, Gu Yuehong will be enough. Even a powerhouse like Thunderstorm wouldn't stand a chance against Gu Yuehong."
"Moreover, Gu Yuehong is naturally combative; he would only be happy to have a fight. Thunderstorm has a good relationship with me; he won't go after our Peach Blossom Sect—I can guarantee that. And Bai Xiaosheng will also come when the time comes. The establishment of our Peach Blossom Sect will be a grand celebration that shakes the entire Central Domain."
With that, Wei Chen gently patted Han Mang's shoulder and smiled, "So there's nothing for you to worry about; I'll handle everything."
"That's still not acceptable. Even if you refuse the position of sect leader, us three old men won't take it either. Musa and Mu Yang can do it; just choose one of them." Han Mang threw up his hands in resignation. Wei Chen wasn't particularly interested either; thus, the happy burden would fall onto Musa or Mu Yang.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Chen said, "Musa isn't reliable and doesn't get things done well. If I really have to choose between them, I'd prefer Mu Yang. Or we could directly appoint Ginger Tooth; he has plenty of experience and was part of the upper management at Ancient Spirit Academy—he's familiar with those matters."
"Choose however you want; this is your business. Don't think you can rely on us old men for this. Being sect leader requires socializing; we don't have that kind of free time! Just go with Mu Family; after all, we're all family now—just ask for their opinion."
"Alright then. Once we've settled on Cloud Spirit Sect Base, I'll talk to them."
Old Man Han Mang was dissatisfied, but he could only leave in frustration. The best candidate for the position of Sect Leader was undoubtedly Wei Chen, but that guy just didn’t like to take on responsibilities. There was no choice but to pass the position to the Mu Family.
Fortunately, the Mu Family had performed well during this time. They had been together with Han Mang, showing great cooperation and solidarity. Han Mang had a good impression of the Mu Family, so giving the Sect Leader position to them was indeed a wise choice.
"Who will take on the role of Sect Leader? This is another headache. Old Man Han Mang really should think for himself about these things; why does he have to bother me? Don’t I have enough troubles already?"
As Wei Chen cursed Han Mang under his breath, he walked into Ji Mei's room.
There were too many women, which was quite troublesome. In fact, having two or three Beauty Companions was sufficient; too many were just a burden. Wei Chen thought about the pure-hearted Golden Dragon still in Stone Space and felt a pang of anxiety. When that Golden Dragon emerged, who knew how much conflict it would stir up?
"However, her strength is so formidable, and her aura is exceptionally fierce. I suppose Weirou and the others wouldn’t dare provoke her."
With this thought, Wei Chen felt considerably more at ease.
Upon entering Ji Mei's room, she greeted him with a bright smile and teased, "So, how’s it going? Quite troublesome, isn’t it?"
"It is indeed troublesome, even more than I imagined. Ji Mei, you shouldn’t have forgotten that during our time in the Eastern Wasteland, Sister Wei Rou and I were both from the Wei Family, right? That Wei Family was scattered by the Sea Tribe and is now completely out of touch. Because of this matter, Sister Wei Rou has been quite unfriendly towards you."
"Oh? People from the Eastern Wasteland's Wei Family? Wei Chen, do you take me for a fool? I figured out your identity back when we were at Cloud Spirit Sect. Even though your clan members aren’t blood relatives, how could I possibly let the Sea Tribe run amok?"
Hearing Ji Mei's words, Wei Chen suddenly perked up and asked excitedly, "What do you mean?"
