...Chapter 356 Parting Ways 1
"What if I go to the Hundred Flowers Valley, and this guy goes somewhere powerful!" The eldest lady pointed at Nan Gong Suxin, "Am I then likely to be overtaken by her"
"Who’s going to overtake me I’ve always been stronger than you!!" Nan Gong Suxin said unhappily.
Xiaoyao immediately responded: "Let's not talk about who is currently stronger or weaker, it doesn’t matter much anyway. However, if the sects you enter are different, then your weakness and her strength will determine whether you can maintain the current situation! But that seems unlikely because there’s a higher chance for you to be more lazy than she is!!"
That was right; under the same conditions, the eldest lady might still compete with Nan Gong Suxin. However, if Nan Gong Suxin had better conditions, then without miracles, the eldest lady would definitely fall behind.
This wasn’t to say that the eldest lady’s talent was worse than Nan Gong Suxin's; on the contrary, her talent might even be slightly superior. If she worked harder, she could surpass Nan Gong Suxin by a bit, but it was impossible for her to work as hard as Nan Gong Suxin.
The eldest lady liked drinking and women, especially drinking, which slowed down her cultivation progress. However, giving up drinking would be almost impossible for her—it’d be even worse than taking her life. Without alcohol, she wouldn’t have much motivation to cultivate.
Nan Gong Suxin had always worked hard, particularly after being spurred by the eldest lady; she had fully unleashed her potential and wouldn't relax until she left the eldest lady far behind.
"Moyu, you should go to Hundred Flowers Valley—I support you!" Nan Gong Suxin immediately voiced her suggestion.
“You wish. I’ve decided not to go; I’ll put aside personal matters and focus on my career first. Once I have a career, women will be as plentiful as grains of sand!” The eldest lady changed her mind.
"…" Lady Three was speechless once again. She didn’t understand where the eldest lady learned these things; could it be...
“Lady Three, do you have any opinions” Xiaoyao asked hesitantly when he saw her look at him.
"No, I don’t!" Lady Three immediately lowered her head, afraid that Xiaoyao would discover what she was thinking.
Xiaoyao didn't pay much attention and asked the eldest lady, "Alright, now you don't want to go to Hundred Flowers Valley. Where do you plan to go"
"I have no idea right now. As long as it’s not worse than her place, that's fine! Isn’t this something for you to choose for me” The eldest lady directly threw the responsibility back at Xiaoyao; even if she knew more about these places, she would still do so.
"That’s right. You just asked us whether we should stay together or separate—shouldn't you have chosen our paths already" Nan Gong Suxin interrupted.
“Currently I’ve only provided the best options for now. If there are new developments in the future, things may change. Before that happens, I need to know if everyone will be separated or together; the outcomes would differ.” Xiaoyao said slowly.
The eldest lady immediately asked after his words fell: "Do you think it’s better for us to stay together or separate"
“If we don’t consider mutual support, then your group should be separated from me and my boss. That way, each of you can get the best cultivation conditions.” Xiaoyao said, “You can choose the most suitable sects.”
"Separate!" Guxing simply said.
“Then we’ll separate… Wait a moment, just now you mentioned us and Seventh Sister. Does that mean only Seventh Sister is alone” The eldest lady nodded but then thought Xiaoyao’s words were worth investigating further.
"Yes, although your cultivation paths differ from Nan Gong Suxin's, you both complement each other well. The mutual competition between you two is more beneficial than many medicinal pills." Xiaoyao said with a nod.
Then he added: “And since you’ve cultivated under similar conditions before, what you lack is the same!”
"Oh, I see. Well then, I’ll bear this minor loss and continue being together with this hateful guy." The eldest lady said somewhat unwillingly, which made Nan Gong Suxin feel like she wanted to explode, but under the current circumstances, she thought it best to endure for now.
“You won’t lose out either. If Nan Gong Suxin is with you, Lady Three might also be with you!” Xiaoyao winked and said in a low voice that others could still hear.
"Well… SuSu, are you coming with us" The eldest lady's eyes lit up.
“I’m not joining your group; I’ll stay with my sister.” Lady Three replied. Though she didn’t directly answer the question, it was clear that she would continue to be part of their trio.
"I knew it, SuSu can't bear to leave me." The eldest lady said shamelessly, ignoring Nan Gong Suxin’s decisive factor.
"..." Third Miss Nan Gong didn't want to bother with the eldest miss.
"Hehe, Eldest Miss, you're really comfortable. Do you have any interest in getting the bigger one This way, it would be easier." Xianyao said very softly on the side, looking a bit despicable.
"Get the bigger one" The eldest miss was startled for a moment but quickly recovered, "You mean get Nan Gong Suxin. I don't like this kind of woman; even if they give her to me, I wouldn't want her!"
"That's too bad. These two sisters are such high-quality sister-flower pairs and are unique. If you were to get them, then... hehe, you understand." Xianyao said very softly, nearly leaning against the eldest miss.
"This... I'll think about it..." The eldest miss put one hand on Xianyao's shoulder and held her chin as if making a "painful" decision.
"You two shameless things! That's enough!!" Nan Gong Suxin said angrily, punching them both. She was infuriated seeing these two scoundrels conspire against each other, especially since they were talking about her and her sister.
“Ah...”
Nan Gong Suxin punched the two almost hugging scoundrels away with one fist.
"Cough cough, let's get serious now!!" Xianyao rolled over as if nothing had happened. But that wasn't what was most unbelievable.
The most unbelievable thing was that the eldest miss also spoke seriously: "Nan Gong Suxin, don’t cause trouble! We need to talk about important matters!"
"..."
Nan Gong Suxin clenched her fists...
Xianyao immediately coughed and said, “Cough, now I understand that we need to focus on famous major sects. Perhaps there are some ultra-major sects that we haven't heard about yet, but the entry requirements for those wouldn’t be low either. We don't need to waste time waiting for opportunities; we'll have plenty of chances in the future to get this information! As for unknown minor sects, they’re also the same—perhaps suitable, but there’s no time to investigate them now. There will still be opportunities later on to obtain what you want!!”
Xianyao first explained their current situation: They didn't have much information yet, but generally speaking, famous major sects were easy to find out about because they were well-known!
Those unknown ones might be harder to investigate and could also come with various restrictions. To put it simply, Xianyao believed it was better to use this time going to the currently known most suitable places rather than wasting time looking for the perfect fit since that extra time might result in those three girls successfully advancing.
Moreover, even if they spent time searching, whether or not they could find the best match was uncertain. Life didn't give you endless choices; once something was missed, it might be gone forever!
Of course, Xianyao didn’t think this meant missing out on the most suitable ones. When the time came, he could figure out a way to get those most suitable martial techniques and cultivation methods because that was his hobby—collecting these things, finding the best for Solitary Star, and giving others what they needed.
Not all of the martial arts and cultivation methods suited them were concentrated in one sect; different sects had different moves. That was Xianyao's task: to gather them, organize them, hand them over to Solitary Star, and everything else would follow.
"Just tell us where we’re going and what preparations we need to make," the eldest miss said directly.
Xianyao smiled and said, "Two places. The first is Phoenix Jade Family, a very unique family that, although it’s a family, functions more like an academy for cultivating talents for various factions! Many generals of many countries in this land are from Phoenix Jade Family!"
"So that's how it is; indeed... Wait, something about this sounds off. Isn't the Phoenix Jade Family supposed to be suitable for me and Nan Gong Suxin We've walked through warfields, and we're even generals of the Tang Empire," the eldest miss noticed something odd.
If they were talking about her and Nan Gong Suxin going to Phoenix Jade Family, that would make sense. But now it was Solitary Star who was going there, which seemed strange.
"Did you get things wrong"
Xianyao shook his head and said, "No, this is right! No mistake!! You've already experienced so much life-and-death on the battlefield; what's the point of now going to Phoenix Jade Family It won't help your cultivation at all!"
"This... They should have martial arts suitable for us," the eldest miss thought and concluded that this was the only thing she could think of.
They had already been through so many battles, and the battlefield's benefits were becoming fewer. Even if they re-entered the military, it would help them little beyond killing enemies and building achievements.
They needed something new, and that was what Xianyao was going to say next!
"Martial arts aren't the most important thing; in cultivation, it's best to encounter some new things that can inspire your understanding. When you understand something new, you naturally break through! So, what you need isn’t this Phoenix Jade Family, and as for the martial arts inside, my boss will teach them to you after investigating!" Xianyao said.ed in front of him, staring at his face intently, not taking her eyes off it. This made Daoist Immortal feel a bit unsettled.Yaoxiao moved, reminding the other person to pay attention to their appeara...
