"However, it seems that it was only when a few of your friends risked their lives to save you at Lushan that I suddenly realized that one of the avatars of the Soul-Eating Doll had merged with one of your friends, using their body to re-enter the world. That was when I found a clue.
"Lushan? Friends? Save me?" Wei Ning listened in confusion, as he had lost that part of his memory and did not understand.
Wei Qiuxi did not find it strange. He smiled lightly and said, "At that time, you were already a thoughtless vegetable, so of course you wouldn't have any impression. However, Ning, I am truly happy for you that you have such friends who are willing to risk their lives for you."
Wei Ning smiled and replied, "Grandfather, it's not often that I treat people sincerely. Can I really earn their genuine hearts? By the way, Grandfather, who are they? I must thank them no matter what."
Wei Qiuxi said calmly, "One of them is someone I recognize—the boy from the Six Deaths and Five Burials incident. I didn't particularly like him before, but he has grown up to be quite a man, very loyal and impressive."
Wei Ning nodded. "It must be Brother Zhang. I didn't expect him to be so loyal. Last time in Xiangtan, he kept it from me. Next time, I need to properly thank him."
Wei Qiuxi continued, "There's another one who seems to be from Laoshan. By the way, how did you end up with the people from Taiping Dao?"
Wei Ning scratched his head and said, "That should be Yang Na. It's strange; our friendship isn't very deep. I didn't expect him to be so loyal. I'll have to thank him properly next time."
Wei Qiuxi sighed and said, "The person you really should thank is your short friend; he has sacrificed the most for you and nearly lost his life. We still don't know his whereabouts."
Wei Ning exclaimed anxiously, "He must be my disciple Wu Haozi! Grandfather, do you know what happened to him?"
Wei Qiuxi looked at Wei Ning and said, "If only I knew where he is now. There is an avatar of the Soul-Eating Doll within him. If we could gather all three avatars of the Soul-Eating Doll, then even the immortal Wei Xian Gui would not be a threat."
"Three avatars? What does that mean?"
Wei Qiuxi spoke proudly, "According to ancient legends, Laozi used supreme divine skills to transform into the Three Purities and became a legendary figure in Taiping Dao. How could my Zhu You School fall behind? Wei Xianjun is a unique figure in Zhu You's history. However, because he devoted his entire life to refining the Thirteen Blood Corpses and after the battle in Changde, he was already exhausted and unable to control Wei Xian Gui at its peak. But Wei Xianjun was not someone easy to deal with; although he could use Taoist methods like Laozi, before his death he managed to transform his supreme true energy into three avatars sealed within Wei Xian Gui's corpse, Wei Xianjun's corpse, and the body of the Wei Family heir. This left behind a restriction to prevent anyone from controlling Wei Xian Gui after his departure."
Wei Ning listened carefully to Wei Qiuxi's words. It seemed that Wei Xianjun had merely "departed," but there was no mention of his "death."
"After Wei Xian Gui became an immortal Blood Corpse, he was also considered a genius of his generation. Just relying on the Devouring Ghost Spell left by Wei Xianjun's avatar is already insufficient to fully control him. During his recent 'awakening,' it seems he finally broke free from the control of the avatar sealed within him. At that moment, when you all happened to appear in the blood cave, it transferred into your friend's body. As for that avatar among the descendants of the Wei Family, I previously couldn't determine whose body it was in; now I can finally confirm—it is within you."
Wei Ning exclaimed in astonishment, "Why?"
"You think the Thirteen Blood Corpses are so easily controlled by just your shout? There's a story behind this," Wei Qiuxi replied leisurely. "It's because your fifth soul has awakened, which is also why I dared to come find you—otherwise, how could you have dispersed the Seizing Green Ghost?"
Wei Ning was left speechless.
Wei Qiuxi continued, "As long as we find your friend and locate Wei Xianjun's corpse, we can summon the other two avatars to form the true Soul-Eating Doll. At that point, what fear should a mere immortal Blood Corpse hold? Only then will you be truly safe, and the Wei family's lineage can continue."
Wei Ning said excitedly, "Then Grandpa, what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and find them!"
Wei Qiuxi smiled wryly. "I've been searching for a lifetime already."
Wei Ning fell silent.
After a pause, Wei Qiuxi continued, "However, this isn't entirely without leads. I've been pondering a question over the years: while Wei Xian Gui seems to have no restrictions, he is quite wary of our Wei Family Ancestral Tomb. That's why I've been staying there, hoping to uncover something that would make Wei Xian Gui cautious."
Wei Ning asked eagerly, "Grandpa, have you found anything?"
Wei Qiuxi sighed. "Not a thing."
Wei Ning felt disheartened.
Wei Qiuxi said, "Our most important task right now is to find the three avatars left by Wei Xianjun. We must act quickly; otherwise, if he detects our intentions, all will be for naught."
Wei Ning nodded. "I understand. Let's get moving."
Wei Qiuxi said, "However, there is something more urgent at the moment that you must take care of. Only by resolving this personal matter can we wholeheartedly focus on our duties as the Wei Family."
Wei Ning asked, "Is it related to me? What is it?"
Wei Qiuxi looked intently at Wei Ning and said, "Ning, to be fair, do you like the bride that grandfather chose for you?"
Wei Ning knew exactly who Wei Qiuxi was referring to and was suddenly at a loss for words.
Wei Qiuxi sighed and continued, "Whether you like her or not, that girl has sacrificed so much for you. Our Wei Family owes her far too much. If we don't repay this debt, we are unworthy of being the first family of Zhu You."
Wei Ning nodded. Although he didn't know that he was meant for Qiqi, he had always remembered the little things she did for him while they were together. He had been too preoccupied with another woman at the time to appreciate the one in front of him.
Now that he thought about it, yes, Qiqi had offended Gu God for his sake and had even gone through great lengths to help him. Yet on their wedding day, he had driven her out of his home. If he continued to neglect her, could he still call himself a man?
Wei Ning raised his head and said, "Grandfather, no matter whether Qiqi is my wife in this life or not, I will never betray her. I owe her too much, and I will repay it."
Wei Qiuxi nodded and replied, "That's very good. But if you don't hurry back to Miao Village now, Qiqi will become someone else's wife."
Wei Ning gasped, "Ah."
