Chapter 1277 The Returnee's Notes 351
The pressure on his wrist gradually loosened, and the sect leader's eyes became so dark they seemed to suck people in.
"You will go."
It was a very confident tone.
After saying that, Master Fang chuckled twice, "The group outside asked me to use the greater good and your own life to trick you into joining Guibei Mountain, because you are Xie Li's disciple, and they think you are the best candidate."
It was as if this was the responsibility of the Xie family lineage, just as Xie Li had entered the family in the same way.
She was the one who emerged from the chaos, but others gained the treasures, power, and status.
Those who consider themselves friends.
Returning to the mountains is dangerous, but the opportunities are immense.
The sect leader only learned about these things later, and he was disappointed in Xie Li, who was no longer the cold and aloof child he used to be.
But since they were from the same sect, how could she just stand by and watch Xie Li, a junior, be bullied? It's never too late to take revenge.
She was indeed grateful for the country's aid to Qing Shi Town, but that did not contradict her desire for revenge.
She didn't hide a single thing from Xie Ning about those people's schemes. After all, Xie Ning, as Xie Li's apprentice and one of the people being schemed against, should know about these things.
Xie Ning frowned and remained silent for a moment, the atmosphere gradually becoming tense. After a long while, she finally asked, "Shall we go immediately?"
Seeing that Xie Ning agreed as she had expected, Sect Leader Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up. Although there's an ice coffin, Xie Li's body can't hold out for that long. Her body is like a sieve, her life force is constantly draining away. If there were a treasure that could replenish and extend her lifespan, that would be great, but such things are extremely rare. You'd better..."
"I have."
Xie Ning showed her first smile since being admitted to the hospital.
The luckiest thing is that she has something so rare and precious.
"You have!?"
"Um."
Originally, it was intended for Xie Li, but he refused. After many twists and turns, it still had to be used on Xie Li. Perhaps this was a kind of destiny.
Sect Master Fang looked at the bead Xie Ning handed over, somewhat surprised. "You're willing to part with it? If you wear this bead while cultivating, you'll not only cultivate faster and better than ordinary people, but you'll also prolong your life."
If it's used on Xie Li, this bead will be useless afterwards.
Xie Ning didn't answer whether she was willing or not, but only asked, "Since Sect Leader Fang is so sure that I will go to Guibei Mountain for Grandma, why are you asking this question?"
"indeed."
Actually, she wasn't entirely certain; she just knew from observing Xie Ning's appearance and fortune that he would eventually agree.
Why do people like Old Man Yu use the concept of righteousness to intimidate others?
Because the word "great" is enough to elevate a person to a high position.
The existence of Guibei Mountain is indeed a hidden danger, and if personal lives are taken into account, Xie Ning will most likely agree.
But she didn't use Old Man Yu's rhetoric; she only mentioned Xie Li.
Actually, I also wanted to see if Xie Ning would risk her life for an ordinary person who was just someone she had some connection with; this was a personal matter.
In some ways, it's not worth it.
After receiving Xie Ning's affirmative answer, the sect leader's mind was filled with even more questions.
So later, she asked Xie Ning again, "Was it worth it?"
Xie Ning didn't answer her directly, but instead asked, "Do you think Grandma thinks it's worth it?"
She was saying that since Xie Li thought it was worthwhile to bring her out of Guibei Mountain, then what she was doing now was also worthwhile.
Sect Master Fang's understanding of this rhetorical question was not wrong, because Xie Ning was speaking from the perspective of those thirteen souls.
From her own perspective, it was worth it. Although she had no connection with Guibei Mountain, her coming into this world could be considered as Xie Li keeping her here.
Otherwise, she would probably have been sent away as a wandering ghost, and thus would not have had these many years.
And... that was her grandmother, and also her master.
Having learned some of the details, Xie Ning changed some of her plans. Sect Master Fang said that with that spiritual pearl, she could probably extend her time by three to five years.
Then she needed to enter Guibei Mountain immediately.
Originally, she didn't really want to get involved in the 508 Research Institute. Now, she's donating drones so that she can get more capable people to help with things at Guibei Mountain in the future.
But now that she knows there are people plotting against her, she can't go down that path anymore.
Perhaps... she could use a different group of people.
Xie Ning turned his attention to the disciples under Sect Master Fang.
