Chapter 2140 - 2140: Xuhai City 1

With this stated…

They harbored concerns that the Elder of the Fist Sect might not grasp the situation fully.

He went on to clarify, “The top five disciples of the Beastmaster Sect have remained constant for years, correct? Have you observed any other disciples capable of breaking into that top tier and thereby earning the qualification to enter the mystic realm?”

“Not only can she achieve that, but she also holds the second rank among those five.

“She isn’t relying solely on her cultivation prowess; her intelligence is her asset.”

“Our initial approach involved observing their cultivation methods and personalities, leading us to identify a breakthrough through Ju Haocang.”

“Her intellect coupled with audacity. Those are precisely the attributes we lack for this mission.’

“At times, shrewdness outweighs even cultivation techniques. After all, on the cultivation continent, supremacy is never guaranteed. There will always be individuals stronger than oneself.”

Elder Lin expounded with sincerity.

The Elder of the Fist Sect still held reservations, yet refrained from immediate objection.

“However, she does emanate an aura of aloofness,” remarked the Elder of the Fist Sect.

Elder Lin’s words hung in the air without further elaboration.

The Elders dispersed, each going their separate ways.

And amid this, Gu Chaoyan…

She walked back with an expressionless demeanor, accompanied by Di Hongyun, who appeared listless.

“Is it because of me?” Gu Chaoyan inquired, noticing the look on Di Hongyun’s face.

This marked the second occasion he had displayed such behavior.

The first instance was when she had declined to join the two groups of disciples.

Her focus remained steadfastly on the mystic realm.

“I’m not a virtuous person. I helped you the other day merely coincidentally,” Gu Chaoyan responded icily.

“That can’t be true!” Di Hongyun resisted believing this.

He still held onto the image of his Junior Sister as a hero, considering her courageous stance against the Grand Unity Sect.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head, declining to offer any further explanations to Di Hongyun.

Di Hongyun had invested too much hope in her, and she couldn’t let things persist like this.

Her objectives revolved around the One Origin Grass and that woman’s spiritual root. She anticipated undertaking more ventures in the future, many of which might disappoint him. It seemed more reasonable to be upfront about it now.

She had erred from the outset.

Continuing to alienate individuals like Di Hongyun was an unwise course.

Having articulated her thoughts, Gu Chaoyan resumed unpacking.

Di Hongyun chose not to accompany them. Gu Chaoyan let out a sigh and dismissed the idea.

“Heading out once more? What preparations do you require?” An Ge inquired.

“No preparations necessary,” Gu Chaoyan replied in an icy tone. She possessed only a handful of attire, typically stored within her interspatial ring, along with a selection of talismans and pills. Hence, there was no need for her to pack.

Concerning Feihuai and An Ge, she instructed them to focus on their individual cultivation and left them undisturbed.

The subsequent morning…

Gu Chaoyan convened with the team..
