The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

Book 11: Chapter 9 (2)

Bai Lian walked quickly up to the white-haired girl.

"Have you encountered any difficulties? If you don't mind, you can tell me about it."

Her voice was soft and her face was smiling.

Her smile looks like the spring breeze.

However, spring is not only about the spring breeze, but also about spring thunder.

"Wow -"

The sky, which was only slightly gloomy before, suddenly became pitch black as ink.

The bright lightning flashed in the thick layer of clouds and then disappeared.

"Hurry, hurry back and get the clothes!"

"Why is it raining again?"

It's as if a special switch had been pressed - in an instant, the previously quiet street became noisy.

But the noise belongs to others.

The small world where Bai Lian, Xiao Jinse, and the girl were was like being cut off by a knife, becoming increasingly quiet.

The rain was beating on the green brick.

Water fell from the brick crack.

The wet and cool spring breeze blew up the skirt.

Bai Lian was very patient, waiting for the girl's answer.

Xiao Jinse was staring at the girl with a tight face, angry but helpless.

The girl looked as if she had been disconnected.

She thinks she probably won't like Spring anymore.

She was really shocked.

After a long pause, she answered hesitantly, "My…my name is Lu Wantong."

I'm not asking your name!

Forget it.

Bai Lian repeated the same question again.

Since it's been decided to do it, she must finish it no matter what!

Otherwise, if the task fails, she won't get any rewards.

"Ah… oh…"

The girl managed to come to her senses after the shock.

It turned out that she was not exposed.

Her restive heart gradually calmed down.

(Translated by Gravity Tales ??)

Although she had not completely recovered, she was still able to muster some courage in front of Bai Lian.

Lu Wantong timidly said, "Actually, I'm ok. I just heard that the Duxian sect's Immortality Promotion Meeting was testing for talent instead of cultivation base and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to pass the assessment…"

Bai Lian nodded.

She has experienced two Immortality Promotion Meetings, too many similar scenes.

The Duxian Sect's assessment is quite formal; not only does it take cultivation aptitude into consideration, but also heart temperament.

This is the rule set by the former sect leader Yan Xiyi.

After Jue Yunzi took over the position of the sect leader, he still firmly carried out this tradition.

It's hard to say if this tradition is good or bad.

Although this ensured the pureness of the Duxian sect, it also made the Duxian sect miss many extremely talented disciples, making the path to revival even longer.

So far, it's not bad.

But in the game, due to the lack of powerful cultivators, the Duxian sect encountered several crises of extinction, and even failed to reach the middle-stage of the game in some game lines.

When Bai Lian sighed, Lu Wantong lowered her head and nervously twiddled her fingers, "I rushed here all the way from the Sand Region and ran for three months. I spent all the Spirit Stones my family had left. My father is still waiting for good news from me. If I can't pass the exam, I really won't have the courage to go back and see him again."

Bai Lian spoke up immediately to comfort her.

There is nothing unexpected in terms of skill.

In front of the Second Martial Sister, she was also embarrassed to go and pat Lu Wantong's head.

She simply shared the Duxian sect's philosophy with Lu Wantong.

"You broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage at a young age, your talent is more than enough."

"As for the disposition…"

Bai Lian smiled slightly and said, "I cannot give you a definite answer because we are meeting for the first time. The only one who can give you an answer is yourself."

"I…"

Lu Wantong opened her mouth slightly.

She felt a twinge in her heart.

No pain.

It's so empty and unsettling, something needs to fill it up.

Herself?

Lu Wantong stopped talking.

That last sentence of Bai Lian was like a green snake tightly winding around her, growing tighter and tighter until she could no longer hear the rumble of thunder or the patter of rain.

Until Bai Lian stuffed a few Spirit Stones into her hands, she suddenly woke up.

"No way."

She instinctively tried to push the Spirit Stones back, but was prevented by Bai Lian.

"I can see that you don't have too much money, these Spirit Stones are like a loan from me. If you can pass the assessment successfully, then you can just return them to me later."

"…"

Lu Wantong gazed blankly at Bai Lian.

Borrow, not give.

In fact, the difference is not big.

But the difference still made her aware of Bai Lian's kindness.

Is this taking care of her dignity?

What a careful person.

No wonder everyone always says that she is a Natural Saint.

Lu Wantong gave a wry smile.

She no longer hid her expression.

"What if I don't pass the exam?" She asked softly.

So Bai Lian said, "Your journey is still very long, a few low-grade Spirit Stones won't be a problem for you."

Lu Wantong was speechless for a long time.

Luckily, with Xiao Jinse's support, a thin layer of spirit Qi was floating above their heads, so they weren't drenched like chickens in the rain.

At this time, Bai Lian received a notification that the task was completed.

When the two points of Focus came into her hand, she was able to leave.

"I'm really good at comforting people!"

Bai Lian secretly boasted to herself.

She squinted her eyes, and the smile in the corners of her eyes and mouth couldn't be hidden.

(?＞︶＜) ?

She didn't turn and leave like that.

She said, "Some people consider the people around them before doing something, and some people only think about themselves when they do something. I don't know which one is better. But if you are really tired, you can try to unload some of the burden and consider yourself first."

Lu Wantong looked up at Bai Lian.

She only thought that Bai Lian's voice was very pleasant.

Then Bai Lian waved to her.

"See you later."

Bye.

Lu Wantong slowly raised her hand.

She didn't know if Bai Lian had seen her wave.

Because Bai Lian had already turned around, she suddenly rushed into the pouring rain outside.

The "barrier" had been broken at this moment.

The rain came back.

The sound of rain was like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.

Lu Wantong saw Bai Lian and her Martial Sister who carried a basket walking side-by-side.

She had only taken a few steps when she took out her umbrella.

Pa.

The umbrella was braced over their heads.

The two girls drifted away.

"Elder Martial Sister, there's no need to trouble yourself. I can just use my spirit Qi to push away the rain."

"That's silly! That would take away the artistic conception!"

"Artistic conception?"

"Hush, feel with your heart."

"Oh."

"…"

Artistic conception.

Lu Wantong looked up.

The world in her eyes was hazy as raindrops rolled down like pearls.

She stretched out her hand, letting the rain beat against her palm.

It's chilly.

She seems to rarely pause to think about questions like this one.

What does she want?

It is not just for yourself.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here.

Lu Wantong sighed.

If she left at that time, no one would be able to save her father.

In order to save a handicapped Golden Core Stage cultivator, the resources it needs can even cultivate a Soul Changing Stage cultivator, which is not worth the cost.

Only the top sects can be so grand.

But why should they help her?

Unless she can be accepted into those large sects and then be given special training.

It's a pity that she no longer has the time.

At the time, her father only had half a month to live. If it weren't for the leader stepping forward to extend his life, she would have been at the gravesite by now.

So the leader is right.

"This is a fair trade."

She doesn't have to do it, and nobody is forcing her.

But…

"Is courage born out of such turmoil?"

Lu Wantong muttered to herself.

She will persist to the end. Even though she is afraid of pain, she will still do it because she had determination in her heart.

Lu Wantong slowly grasped her open right hand.

Besides the rain in her hand, there were lower-grade Spirit Stones delivered to her by Bai Lian.

Hard.

Warm.

Lu Wantong's eyes became firm.

She felt it.

[I seize the future!]
