Chapter 296: But I Believe in Sanniang More
Chen An’s mouth twitched.
The so-called Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Harmony Sect, just by its name, sounded improper!
However, now that he had calmed down, he knew he couldn’t afford to be insensitive and anger the other party.
Otherwise, he and Mu Sanniang might face a very tragic end.
His mind raced as he glanced at the silent girl beside him, a thought flashed through his mind.
Forget it, he’d stake it all.
What’s the big deal about cultivation? Cultivating is cultivating, no matter where it is.
He pulled Mu Sanniang over and immediately said to the young woman, “Thank you, Fairy Sister, for looking favorably upon me. Please also take a look at my sister. Can you take us both with you?”
What Chen An didn’t expect was that the young woman in the red dress merely glanced at Mu Sanniang before frowning and waving her hand dismissively.
“She’s not suitable.”
Chen An was stunned. He clearly felt the girl’s hand in his trembling.
He frowned.
“What do you mean?”
The young woman in the red dress withdrew her gaze and casually said, “She’s different from you. She has poor meridians and inferior aptitude. She has no capital for cultivation at all.”
“Even if I break my rules and accept her, with such poor talent, our Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Harmony Sect wouldn’t have a corresponding trash cultivation technique for her to practice.”
The words were spoken without thought, but they struck a chord.
These words, which were like a death sentence for the girl, pierced her chest like an invisible long sword.
Mu Sanniang raised her head, her face had turned extremely pale at some point.
She gritted her teeth, opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Chen An was completely stunned.
He had never doubted Mu Sanniang’s talent from the beginning.
How could a heroine chosen by the system be as poorly gifted as the other party claimed?
Moreover, based on the time they had spent together, the girl’s astonishing strength, far beyond ordinary people, could not belong to an ordinary person.
“How could this be…”
Chen An’s eyes were dazed, and he mumbled subconsciously.
Seeing their reactions, the young woman in the red dress sneered.
She said, “You don’t actually think anyone in this world can cultivate, or that anyone has the capital to cultivate, do you?”
She sneered, and as if thinking of something, her voice suddenly turned cold.
“The world is inherently unrighteous and unjust, it divides people into different classes from birth.”
“A spiritual physique like yours is extremely rare, encountered once in a thousand years! While those with inferior aptitude are the normal state for the vast majority.”
The young woman’s words, every single one, fell into their ears.
Chen An turned his head, his eyes filled with worry as he looked at the girl.
Fortunately, Mu Sanniang just stubbornly raised her head, her expression not showing much of a blow.
She looked at the ‘Fairy Sister’ in front of her and suddenly shook her head.
“I don’t believe you.”
This was the first sentence Mu Sanniang had spoken today.
It was only four short words.
She didn’t believe she was a peerless genius, but she also didn’t believe she was that bad.
The young woman in the red dress observed the girl’s reaction. Her expression didn’t show anger at being contradicted, only indifferent disregard.
Yes.
There was a difference between immortals and mortals. Once she confirmed the girl’s low aptitude, she lost interest.
As for what the girl said about believing or not believing, she couldn’t be bothered to respond.
So many people in this world refused to accept their fate.
But what was the use of that?
Even if they coincidentally obtained immortal methods, what could they cultivate with such inferior aptitude?
Throughout their lives, they would struggle to even reach the Foundation Establishment stage.
The young woman in the red dress’s gaze was fixed on the little boy.
Her target had always been this spiritual physique.
Perhaps for other sects, such extreme talent would be enough to support the glory of an entire sect through cultivation.
But for her Great Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Harmony Sect, this was an excellent candidate for Dual Cultivation!
In fact, the moment she saw the boy’s appearance, she had already silently added four words to herself.
‘None other.’
Because Jiang Qiuchi was a woman who genuinely cared only about appearances.
When her Master had once asked her when she would start cultivating the sect’s secret techniques, Jiang Qiuchi’s answer was:
“Of course, when I meet someone more handsome than me!”
The girl’s seemingly casual words were a true reflection of her inner thoughts.
However…
Jiang Qiuchi glanced at the boy’s age and felt embarrassed to voice her true thoughts.
After all, she still had some dignity.
She would find an excuse first and trick him into the sect!
As for what happened afterward, at most, she would just wait a few years, which was also a good opportunity to cultivate their relationship.
For some reason, as Jiang Qiuchi thought of this, a word suddenly popped into her mind.
‘Nurturing.’
A slight smile played on her lips as she stroked her chin.
She thought, anyway, I’m called a demonic vixen every day, so I should do something worthy of a vixen, right?
Otherwise, wouldn’t it seem like I’m being wrongly accused?
However, a slightly childish voice broke Jiang Qiuchi’s moment of fantasy.
Chen An’s words were as gentle as possible, so as not to provoke this ‘Fairy Sister.’
He said, “Fairy Sister, if you can’t take my sister and me together, then I cannot obey.”
Jiang Qiuchi’s expression was startled. She frowned and reminded him, “You must understand, her aptitude is too poor. She’s useless and cannot step onto the true path of cultivation.”
Chen An’s expression remained unchanged.
He just held Mu Sanniang’s hand and shook his head stubbornly.
“They truly have deep sibling affection…”
Jiang Qiuchi smiled, not caring.
She opened her mouth, about to say something more.
Suddenly, she caught sight of a golden light approaching in the sky with her peripheral vision.
Her expression darkened, and she cursed softly.
Damn bald donkey, ruining my good deed again.
The young woman manipulated her spiritual energy, her bare feet lightly tapping on the air.
The crimson dress quietly floated to the boy’s side.
She leaned close to Chen An’s ear, her breath like a fragrant orchid.
“Little one, wait for me to find you next time.”
Her voice was as melodious as ever, making one’s heart feel soft and numb.
Mu Sanniang watched everything happen helplessly. Her palms tightened, her fingernails almost digging into her flesh.
But her past experiences had made the girl more mature.
She knew that a momentary impulse would be of no use.
Brother…
Mu Sanniang lowered her head, hiding her reddened eyes.
The desire to become stronger surged at this moment.
…
Jiang Qiuchi quickly flashed away. She didn’t want that damn bald donkey to discover this boy.
“Remember my name, Jiang Qiuchi.”
This was the last whisper Chen An heard.
The red dress cut through the vast white sky, like a trailing ribbon.
The two contrasted, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Is this what an Immortal is like?
Chen An was stunned. He suddenly felt an embrace around his waist.
It was Mu Sanniang.
Her voice was a little muffled.
“Brother…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Don’t ever leave me. I will work hard…”
Chen An turned around, a smile on his face.
“Sister, you’re talking nonsense again. I didn’t leave you in Liucheng, and I didn’t leave you just now.”
He paused.
“And I won’t leave you in the future either.”
The girl looked up. “But she said I’m useless.”
Chen An said softly, “But I believe in Sanniang more.”
