Chapter 237: A Closer Title

I give a courteous nod back to both of the disciples while attempting to avoid Qin Cuifengs growingly hopeful eyes. It seems she has now noticed Senior Songs gorgeous skin, as a product of the healing.

Both Senior Song and Elder Gu give light chuckles at this, easily recognizing from their experience Cuifengs train of thought. Almost teasingly, she subconsciously strokes her face, highlighting her new skins smoothness.

The jealous redness of Qin Cuifengs eyes increases.

Elder Gu diplomatically changes the subject to avoid his disciple feeling too envious.

Once again, thank you for coming over and assisting. I can see that you werent blowing air when you said you could help her earlier.

He looks out, past his disciples, towards the center of the sect.

I shouldnt keep you longer than this, though as there is likely much you will have to do to prepare your disciple for whats coming.

Senior Song looks in the same direction, her expression turning dark.

Very true.

They both stare out towards therefore a few more seconds, before speaking.

She is the first to speak.

Well, we should head back to our towers, then. If Im not incorrect, youll need to know them well for whats coming ahead.

Her robes flutter out as her body turns sharply towards the door. Elder Gu gives a slight nod as he whispers something in her ears as she passes.

Thank you for accepting my words. Im sorry I wasnt able to do more and wasnt there for you when you originally needed me.

Thats in the past now Big Brother.

Us disciples, stay quiet during this whole thing.

Its not our place to speak.

As we pass, the two disciples give bows in our directions and Senior Song materializes the swords we came in on once we step outside.

Senior Song once again speaks, but this time in passing.

As always, you and your disciples are welcome at my disciples towers or my own. Just give a warning before you do so.

Despite her head being bowed, I can sense Cuifengs eyes shining dangerously, yet again.

I sense many headaches in the future from her, and others like her. At least our masters have a good relationship, though.

wait.

Doesnt that make me even more obligated to help her?

Almost immediately after these thoughts and our movement, our swords take off back to our towers. And just as quickly as we arrived, we leave their area, with the sword Qi that flows through the air like petals, slowly dimming away from our sight.

The ride gradually turns silent, as Senior Song looks to be deep in thought. It turns out to be good for me, as I have time to see some more features below us during this.

While it mostly looks like general valleys and varied biomes between the mountain peaks and other features, there is an elevated road that passes between the towers and peaks. Connected by a series of bridges built into the mountain tops and with gaps underneath, they all seem to connect to one of the central roads that heads up towards the sect.

It appears this is the way for normal people and, frankly, people of my cultivation level and below, to reach these towers.

The only thing is, just getting to this point for a normal person would take several days' journey.

Along these paths are ways down into the valleys and biomes below.

She hesitates before finishing her words in a slightly lower tone.

or Sister Nuan. But only in private for the latter.

Thats the flag, isnt it?

The romance flag, right?

The redness on her face and how cute she looks dazes me.

But just as soon as she had said it, she turns forward again and speaks again. I quickly get ahold of myself with her next words.

With that said, what were you looking to say?

Right. Let me get back to the point.

Thank you, Senior

She looks at me.

I mean, Sister Nuan.

May I bring my followers to my tower? I understand its under my purview, but I wanted to check with you before doing so.

She nods before responding.

Of course. Why else do you think that Im going to be giving you all three towers?

Wait. All three?

Yes, all three. Word gets around, you know. What else would you be giving a bunch of people who didnt make the cut?

At first, I was thinking it would be foolish to take on those people, but with your ability and the right controls in place, you would have quite the follower group behind you.

She already read my mind.

With that said, I will not let you expose yourself that easily. Many people are going to be aware at least slightly of what you can do. So, the next person youre going to heal is a trusted acquaintance of mine that deals in contracts. I already sent out a message to them, just before we left out from our tower originally.

He's already agreed, so on the way over to them, well head out over to him. You also will find an interesting surprise that I will not spoil for you.

Its likely that I have a shocked look on my face, and she gives a scoff and a smirk.

You really have a lot to learn, dont you? You may be cute, but the plans you make are too straightforward. Anyone could see this far. Let alone me.

She gives a light-hearted sigh before continuing. Twirling her long black hair on her finger.

I guess Ill just have to make up for it and teach you how to make less obvious plans in the future. What a struggle this is going to be

She doesnt sound irritated by this.

It seems Ive really been underestimating the mental power of cultivators.

And probably overestimating myself
