“Xinxin, with your strength, you’ll only become a burden to others. It’s best that you don’t participate in this operation.”
Midnight, at the main gate of the Fire Sect.
The group of eight was ready to set off. However, at this moment, Nalan Lengling blocked Nalan Xinxin’s path.
“Foundation establishment initial stage. I don’t know what you’ve been thinking about during this period of time. It’s best that you stay. Otherwise, your life will be in danger.”
When Nalan Lengling faced Nalan Xinxin, she showed no emotional fluctuations. It was as if the person in front of her was not her own sister, but a stranger who was completely unrelated to her.
The coldness in her attitude made Victor uncomfortable.
“Senior sister, a promise is a promise. We agreed on seven people. One less won’t be considered a success.”
At the right time, Victor came out to smooth things over and ease the atmosphere.
“I’m just telling the truth. Xinxin, whether you go or stay, it’s your choice.”
“In that case… I’ll stay, I don’t want to trouble you all…”
Nalan Xinxin said this and slowly lowered her head, not saying a word.
“That’s great. Not everyone has self-awareness.”
“Nalan Xinxin, are you sure you want to stay alone?”
Victor could feel that Nalan Xinxin’s feelings toward Nalan Lengling were not only admiration but also fear.
Although Victor did not understand the reason for Nalan Xinxin’s fear, it was a little too much.
When facing Nalan Lengling, Nalan Xinxin was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. She was cautious and nervous like a deer, trembling with fear.
“Sister said that if I went, I would only be sending myself to my death…”
“Just because she said you will die, does it mean that you’ll actually die? Who is she? God? I’m sorry, senior sister, I didn’t mean to offend you.
“What I wanted to say was, Nalan Xinxin, you are a person, a living person. You have your own thoughts and your own considerations, everything about you should be decided by yourself. I don’t have the qualifications, and neither does your sister.
“So, Nalan Xinxin, I’ll ask you one more time. Do you want to stay alone?”
Victor was probably the first person who dared to speak ill of Nalan Lengling in front of her. Although Victor’s words were not entirely bad, Nalan Lengling would normally be furious.
However, now, she looked at her sister who was hesitating, she suddenly understood Victor’s words.
“Nalan Xinxin, do you want to live in the shadow of Nalan Lengling for the rest of your life?”
“I… I don’t want to…”
“Do you want to watch us leave and stay here alone?”
“I don’t want to.”
Nalan Xinxin shook her head, and her eyes were red.
“Do you want your sister to decide your life and live like a puppet?”
“I don’t want to!”
“Then come with us.”
Victor chuckled. Using his height advantage, he rubbed Nalan Xinxin’s head and continued, “Although you don’t know how annoying and weak you are, and often cause troubles for others every day, so what?
“We’re companions after all.”
“Companions… companions…”
Nalan Xinxin slowly raised her head and looked at the smile on Victor’s face, tears welling up in her eyes.
“We… we are… companions…”
“That’s right, companions. Also, your crying is so ugly, stop it now.”
Victor pushed Nalan Xinxin away in disgust and turned to look at the calm Nalan Lengling. “I hope senior sister doesn’t mind my rudeness. Now, we can set off.”
After saying that, Victor took the lead and walked in front. Behind him were Lian Hua, Lin Yiya, and a group of people. Nalan Lengling was riding her flying crane high up in the sky, while Nalan Xinxin was at the back, sobbing from time to time.
Looking at Victor’s back, Lian Hua pursed her lips.
She had to admit that before the disguise, with Victor’s appearance, he would still be very popular with girls. He had defined eyebrows and sharp eyes, was gentle, refined, and looked like a modest gentleman.
When they were in White Dragon City, Victor inadvertently made Wei Zihan fall in love with him.
Lian Hua thought that after Victor changed his appearance, this kind of thing would greatly reduce, but unexpectedly, it did not reduce at all. Instead, it became more and more severe!
First, he used his own strength to cover everyone’s retreat and rescued Lin Yiya. What he said just now made Nalan Xinxin regain her confidence.
It was not an exaggeration to say that just based on what he said just now, if it was Lian Hua, she would definitely fall in love with Victor, let alone the inexperienced Nalan Xinxin?
‘Sigh… why does he always have another girl by his side…’
Lian Hua was very depressed.
Not to mention the distant Ye Lingxuan in the Eastern Plains, that was an impassable mountain, a name that Victor called after even in his dreams.
Wei Zihan, Lin Yiya, Nalan Xinxin. Although Lian Hua was confident in her beauty, she could not stop the other party from outnumbering them.
‘Cheh… Stinky man…’
Achoo!
Not far away, Victor rubbed his nose, feeling very surprised.
“Am I catching a cold? That can’t be. With my physique, I shouldn’t catch a cold so easily…”
Victor pursed his lips, not taking it to heart.
After about four hours, the group finally left the Fire Sect’s territory and officially set off for the Hundred Thousand Mountain.
Their mission was to obtain the beast cores in the bodies of the Three-headed Demonic Panther. The mission was not easy.
The Three-headed Demonic Panther was one of the famous demonic beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountain. Its strength was formidable, comparable to the strength of an early stage core formation realm cultivator.
Moreover, the Three-headed Demonic Panther loved to eat human flesh. They often appeared in the towns around the Hundred Thousand Mountain to hunt down villagers. They had no choice but to issue a bounty to the surrounding sects to kill the Three-headed Demonic Panther.
Not only that, the beast cores of the Three-headed Demonic Panther were high-quality ingredients for refining pills. They were extremely expensive and were often in high demand. Therefore, as long as they obtained the beast cores, it could be considered as completing the mission.
Regarding this, the reward for this mission was simply ridiculous.
Although there were no magic tools or cultivation techniques, some of the materials and pills were the best of the best. Some of them were even useful to the current Victor.
This was also the reason why Victor chose to help.
One would not get up early without benefits. Victor was such a person. If there were no benefits, he would not have any interest in wasting time on such things.
“Speaking of which, the inner sect competition will be held soon, right?”
“That’s right, all the elders’ disciples will be participating. You and Wang Cui are no exception.”
“Senior sister, are you also participating?”
“Of course.”
“Then, senior sister, are you confident of winning?”
“It’s hard to say. The number one person in the inner sect is qualified to use the sect guarding treasure, the Rose Sword. Moreover, there are no restrictions on the use of the Rose Sword in the inner sect competition. Therefore, it’s very difficult for someone to snatch the Rose Sword from the best disciple.
“Moreover, Wang Hongyu’s cultivation is at the completion stage of the core formation realm. He is very strong. I’m not his match.”
“Wang Hongyu? He’s the current number one disciple in the inner sect of the Fire Sect? He doesn’t sound like much.”
