Chapter 649 Colliding Paths

649 Colliding Paths

Fen Baihu approached Wu Long again as his ladies were admiring the view.

"So, you want to use my Mystic Realms then", she made an assumption, understanding the gist of what he had in mind for her powers from his earlier words.

"Yes, I want to move my Sect, and its affiliate organizations here", he nodded, confirming her suspicion.

"Hmm, but wouldn't they need to go in and out almost constantly then?", she asked foreseeing quite a bit of a work for her if that were the case.

"Haha, no, not really, we would need to establish a base of operations in the outside world anyway. It is just moving as a large organization can be quite troublesome, and very noticeable.

With this world we can easily move around, changing our locations.

But if you really are too bothered to transport people in and out even a few times, you can give me the ability to manipulate this space as well"

He chuckled as she widened her eyes at his last words.

"You? How do you suppose that is possible?", she then revealed a confused look.

"When we eventually Dual Cultivate, I will receive your Innate Blood Qi, and thus have a trace of Celestial Fox Bloodline. We also are connected by a Soul Pact, so as soon as I am able to wield some of the power of that bloodline, you can give me control over this space through the Soul Thread that connects us"

As he was explaining, Fen Baihu slightly blushed, and then revealed a look of understanding.

"Heh, you do get quite a lot from this agreement after all", she then made a wry smile, as the more she learned the more sweet deal this alliance turned out to be for Wu Long.

"Hahaha, I am not going to deny it, but it is not like what you receive is small either. It is just a matter of perspective, and what you place importance on", he smiled in return as she nodded in agreement.

Just moving forward from the dead end-like situation she was in before was already a huge blessing for her, not to mention that she now got an ally in the face of someone she would be terrified of as an enemy, which made him the best ally she could have.

"Hahaha, you don't have to apologize for thinking about my interests. I truly had not much to give him. There are those that grow by guidance, and there are those that only grow on their own and are ruined by any attempts to guide them, of course there are also any other kind in between.

That man's talent would rot if he was guided, and his path has to be carved out by him alone. Not to mention that he's the type to grow in adversity, and being part of a large group like ours will yet again numb his potential"

Wu Long lightly laughed and shrugged his shoulders.

"Hmm, the more the Young Master speaks of him, the more talented and useful the man seems to me, hahaha", Butler Bang stroked his beard with a bit of a wry smile.

"Haha, as long as we do not stop treading on the way of cultivation, there will be more meetings like this, that pass without seemingly any meaning or conclusion.

I simply gave that man a hint, just like countless strangers that I only ever encountered once in my previous life gave hints to me on my journey through the Seven Boundless Worlds.

Sometimes a single look from a person you never met before, and will never meet again can save your life or give meaning to a moment.

Let that moment pass, and do not linger on it.

Some paths collide to forever be joined, some are only sharing direction for some time, and some are there to pass like a fleeting dream, lasting for a moment before parting.

Do not long for what is not meant to be.

Lingering on the thoughts about closed doors behind you will make you lose sight of the open ones in front.

I had nothing to give him, and nothing that I wanted from him in return.

Not to mention that I just felt like he had his own destiny to follow, and thus let him go"

Wu Long spoke with a light smile looking at the distant back of a swordsman that was about to disappear, as Butler Bang shook his head in self-reflection, thinking to himself that he still had a long road to tread ahead of him.

Hehe, my apologies for being a bit late in posting the chap, I was not at home at the usual time ^^"
