The Third Elder agreed; although dangerous, it was the only way.
But when he approached the sect leader and made the suggestion, it was strongly rejected. Qingyun, Yuheng, and even the Grand Elder all disagreed.
"The situation is already turbulent, and many people are eyeing Wanwan, just waiting for her to appear so they can kidnap her. It's too dangerous. As her godfather, I absolutely disagree!" Yuheng was vehemently opposed to this matter. He stood with Qingyun on this issue and held his ground.
They didn't want their dragon cub to go out and take risks.
Qingyun isn't here, and if she were, she would definitely refuse, knowing how difficult it is for a dragon to produce a cub.
How could we let her go out and die?
"I object too!"
The Grand Elder also shook his head. He was Nian Wanzhou's master, how could he allow his disciple to be in danger?
The Third Elder asked unwillingly, "But if we don't do this, we won't have a chance to make the magic artifact in time. Wanwan also suggested that she take action herself, just this once!"
He looked pleadingly at the sect leader, whose expression was icy and whose meaning was impossible to discern.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Keeping hidden will only attract more covetousness. It's better to take advantage of this first major calamity to make a name for yourself and let those people know that the little dragon cub is not to be trifled with."
At the very least, he must maintain his reputation among the common people and his prestige in the cultivation world, so that those hiding in the shadows won't find an opportunity to harm the little dragon cub.
The Second Elder agreed: "We can't be by the little dragon's side every day and every hour. Nothing is absolute, and there will be unexpected events. I don't think the little dragon is the kind of person who is afraid of trouble or lacks strength. Wouldn't it be better to give her a chance to gain experience and grow together?"
Fifth Elder: "Women don't need to hide behind others for protection all day long. Rather than being protected like hothouse flowers, let her stand up and face the wind and rain."
She was a woman herself, and she understood even better that a girl who was like a hothouse flower or a parasitic plant was not a good choice.
Women, too, should have their own space to carve out, and they can all do it.
Moreover, this is the world of cultivation, where strength and whoever has the strongest fist prevail. How can one grow by always hiding under someone's wing?
Recalling many things, the Fifth Elder continued, "Within the secret realm, she single-handedly protected the safety of many disciples, and even faced the black mist under immense pressure to save Wen Ru."
She was never a weak child; she was perfectly capable of handling things on her own.
The Fifth Elder's words silenced the sect leader and the others.
Yuheng still had a sour face.
Finally, the Second Elder spoke up: "You all disagree, but I also think that letting the little dragon cub experience some trials might not be a bad thing for her."
Her strength is considerable, her talent is exceptional, and she's a dragon. If you're truly worried, the sect leader can leave the sect, leaving me and the eldest brother to oversee the sect.
The sect leader was speechless as he looked at the second elder's smug expression, as if the monkey was king while the tiger was away.
Is he really planning to usurp the throne?
Yuheng's expression gradually cracked. He knew that the sect leader was wavering. The old man's expression clearly showed that he was wavering!
But Yuheng also knew that what his elder brothers said made sense, and that was exactly the case.
His Wanwan, who has been making a living with Nanyu in the Qinghu Secret Realm since birth, is such a strong, unyielding and independent little girl... Perhaps, it's time for him to respect his child's thoughts.
To be honest, ever since Wanwan came to the sect, he has either been doing whatever the sect leader tells him to do.
Or they're looking for Wanwan's biological parents, her lineage, or anything related to her.
There were many things that happened late into the night that he was unable to participate in personally.
He failed to appear in time to protect Wanwan when she was being bullied, and was even jealous that she had a better relationship with Wenru.
Now they're trying to keep the children from taking risks and confine them within the sect.
Fine, he decided to listen to Wanwan.
"Whatever Wanwan says, I'll do as she says. I'll listen to her." Yuheng finally relented. He looked at the Third Elder: "How's the progress on the magic artifact? How much longer until it's finished?"
The Third Elder touched his nose: "It's still a bit lacking. The specific result will depend on Wanwan's performance. As long as she can understand it, time will not be a problem."
The sect leader nodded: "There is enough time. We will set off the day after tomorrow. Before that, I will make arrangements with the other sects and bring more people to ensure safety. Three, four, five, and six, the four of you will come with me."
"yes."
When Wei Wenru learned of the sect leader's decision, she thought she had misheard. Was he serious about sending Wanwan out on an adventure at this critical juncture?
After she asked her father for the truth, she agreed.
She felt that the Fifth Elder was right. Rather than being a hothouse flower, it was better to go out and fight for Wanwan and make her stronger.
Wanwan's strength was already considerable, but she was an unusual body cultivator and didn't possess any flashy moves. Moreover, she was still young, which often made people overlook her formidable abilities.
Thinking of Wanwan's happy face in the secret realm, although it was embarrassing, she missed that carefree Wanwan.
Once things are resolved, I definitely want to see Wanwan happy again.
Le Xi stayed by Nian Wanzhou's side, watching her concentrate on refining pills, and dared not disturb her.
There was also a southern fish, but he automatically ignored its existence.
Nan Yu's alchemy room was not big to begin with, and now Le Xi has come and taken up space. Zhao Zhishan has never been this annoying before!
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and kicked Le Xi, who was blocking the alchemy furnace, aside: "Don't you need to cultivate? Why are you getting in my way? Can you move aside?"
Le Xi wasn't angry at being kicked. She waved her long arm and said, "What's the point of cultivating? I'm stuck at a bottleneck right now, and I'm having a hard time... Um, I'm afraid I need Wanwan's help. You wouldn't understand. Besides, I wasn't blocking you!"
"Wanwan doesn't seem to have any free time at all," Nanyu said, utterly speechless.
If he causes Wanwan to fail in alchemy, he will definitely beat Lexi up badly, hmph!
Nian Wanzhou didn't say a word from beginning to end, unusually quiet, just staring at her small alchemy furnace, the small flame in her hand flickering.
Suddenly, she stood up and stepped back, and Nan Yu cooperated perfectly.
With a loud bang, the alchemy furnace exploded.
Le Xi, who was still squatting in front of the alchemy furnace, didn't react in time. He was blown black all over. He knew it. Something was definitely wrong when things were not normal.
Haha, how could his dear junior sister be so quiet in front of him?
Actually, we had a backup plan.
"It's done! My Spirit-Stabilizing Pill is finally ready!" Nian Wanzhou immediately went to check on it, shoving Le Xi aside without caring about how serious her injuries were.
"Also known as the Soul-Soothing Pill, it can enhance cultivation, calm the mind and soul, strengthen the spirit, and reduce the invasion of inner demons, making advancement easier. Although it's only a mid-grade pill, I succeeded!"
"Wanwan is amazing!" Nanyu went over to take a look.
Inside the alchemy furnace lay seven or eight oddly shaped pills... some were long, some were square, some were like bunches of grapes, but none were normal, round pills.
