Chapter 423: Conflict of Thoughts (3)
The lobby was empty, with only four people left.
Tao Zi looked at the three of them, her tone much gentler, and said, "Yueshan, Senior Sister has thought about it for a long time and feels that there is no need to drag you three into this."
Han Yueshan was so anxious that she was almost spinning around in circles: "Senior Sister, what do you mean by dragging the three of us into this? We are originally fellow sisters and brothers, how can you be dragged into this? Zhao Xue, Xi Jing, don't be stupid!"
Xi Jing finally reacted, her eyes misty, and she said, "Senior Sister, you don't want us anymore?"
Seeing that only his junior sister was talking, Han Yueshan became extremely anxious and frantically winked at his junior brother, but he saw that his junior brother pursed his lips tightly, said nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
One by one, two by two, when can I finally have some peace of mind!
He took a deep breath, took a step forward and knelt down. His tone was not as urgent as at the beginning, and he said stiffly: "Senior Sister, I won't leave."
Tao Zi sighed and said, "Yueshan, Senior Sister is telling you clearly that she has a great grudge that must be avenged."
Han Yueshan knelt down and took a step forward, saying, "Senior Sister, I'll help you."
Xi Jing woke up as if from a dream, rushed over and held her arm, looking at her pitifully; Zhao Xue still didn't say anything, but just knelt on the ground like his senior brother.
She looked at the three of them and said, "Yueshan, there are some things you can't help with. Leave here and go to Tiancheng. The Cheng family will protect you and won't let you go without their resources. If Senior Sister succeeds in her revenge, she will naturally take you back."
A thought flashed through Han Yueshan's mind, and he immediately said, "Senior Sister, don't forget that we still have something to change our fate. Maybe this is the key to your revenge?"
Xi Jing's eyes lit up, and she nodded frantically, "Yes, Senior Sister, Master said that we are in trouble, and we need to follow you to survive."
Tao Zi said meaningfully, "Heaven's laws are unreliable. Your calamity may be caused by me."
"Senior Sister, this isn't fair." Zhao Xue suddenly raised her head, looked straight at her, and said through gritted teeth, "This is really not fair."
Tao Zi asked him back, "What's unfair about it?"
He said stubbornly, "Senior Sister, you are just as unfair as Master. Master was just like that back then, abandoning us regardless of our wishes. Senior Sister, can't you just listen to what we're thinking?"
She was silent for a long time before she sighed and said, "Zhao Xue, Senior Sister's enemy is not as powerful as you can imagine. If he finds you, Senior Sister will not be able to protect you."
Xi Jing held her arm tightly and said aggrievedly, "Senior Sister, this doesn't mean you can abandon us. Even if it's for our own good, you can't act on your own."
Tao Zi was silent for a long time before she whispered, "You might die. No, once you're discovered, you'll definitely die. Senior Sister doesn't have a third life to escape, and you don't have a second life to survive."
Han Yueshan pursed his lips and after a long moment, asked, "What about Hua Monk and the others? What about Lu Shaobai and the others? What about Yue Zhenjun and the others? Why can they stay, but we can't?"
"I can't control Hua Seng and Qing Ya. Lu Shaobai and the others are essentially exchanging interests. Even if something happens to me, as long as they change their stance in time, they still have a chance of survival. You are different from them. Besides, your minds are not suitable for staying here. Don't force yourself to stay in a place you don't want to be."
Xi Jing blurted out, "Who said we don't want to stay?"
Zhao Xue straightened his back and said, "Sister, although we are not used to it, we still know which people and things are more important. Give us a little more time, just a little time, and we will find our place."
Tao Zi looked at them, not knowing what she was thinking.
After an unknown amount of time, she finally said, "It's up to you whether you want to go or not, but I'll keep this photo."
Xi Jing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day, after Cheng Wuchou learned about the situation, he asked, "So they finally stayed?"
Tao Zi nodded and said, "Well, let them do it."
"It's a bit of a burden to you."
She smiled and said, "As long as they don't stick a knife in my back, they won't be a burden. If they do, even though Master saved my life, I will have to send them away."
Seeing that she didn't care, Cheng Wuchou didn't want to be the bad guy anymore, so he just said, "Then I'll have someone pretend to be the three of them, so that we can have a backup plan."
Tao Zi smiled and thanked him.
After that day, Xi Jing and the others practiced much more diligently, unlike before when they were so casual.
Tao Zi watched from the side, not knowing what to say, especially since it wasn't a bad thing.
If I have to say something hasn't changed, it's probably that Xi Jing, as usual, has angered another cake maker and driven him away.
Perhaps Xi Jing did not have the talent in this area, almost every cake chef shook his head and said that he could not teach her, and then apologized to the ancestor Cheng Wuchou.
Han Yueshan was very distressed about this and repeatedly asked Xi Jing to stop learning. However, once Xi Jing got into a bad temper, no one could resist her, so he could only continue to suffer. His senior and junior sisters pretended that he saw nothing.
The days passed slowly, and the strength of the main peak of Minglan Sect was also slowly decreasing, until the senior finally discovered a physical cultivation relic.
According to the seniors, the things in this relic are not good, but they are good enough for Lu Shaobai and his friends.
Tao Zi hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it might be good enough for me."
The senior coughed a few times and said, "Don't worry, I believe you will find the right path sooner or later."
She looked at the senior dimly. The senior hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing and returned to the bracelet.
Upon hearing the news about the ruins, Lu Shaobai and the others were extremely excited. Tao Zi said, "Not all of them can go. The physical cultivators who have already corrected their cultivation habits should step forward, and the rest should continue to correct their mistakes."
Scattered, only half of the people came out.
This was within her expectations - decades of practice habits, even if they were wrong, could not be changed easily.
When the ruins were opened, other sects also noticed it, but because it was found to be a physical cultivation relic, not many people paid attention to it, and there was not even a hint of it. If it weren't for the seniors on Tao Zi's side, they might not have gotten the news.
Tao Zi sat in the lobby. After giving instructions on precautions, she asked Lu Shaobai and the others to leave, leaving only Yue Qingya and Cheng Wuchou.
She looked at Yue Qingya and said, "Qingya, you go over there too. I suspect Xu Qianjia will send someone to keep an eye on them. If they make a move, you can intercept them openly and no one will be suspicious."
Yue Qingya thought for a moment and said, "What do they mean by taking action?"
"It's possible they're targeting the Yisan Sect, or they could be targeting those defectors. Don't forget, most of those who defected from the Minglan Sect are physical cultivators. It's unlikely they wouldn't go after a relic finally appeared." Tao Zi paused, then added, "We already know Xing He is with Yan Wenxuan, and we don't know who's with Wangxu. You could give him a try."
