Chapter 278: Another Trust

After Lao Nas instructions from the Patriarch, he takes a step back, disappearing into nothingness.

I previously thought he was Foundation Establishment, but now its clear that he is at least in the Core Formation Realm. Despite his teasing words and near-peer status in the sect, he would be qualified to be an elder.

I will need to be cautious with him.

But thats not the only thing that will need to be considered.

Why the heck would he send me straight to the infirmary? It really feels like hes taking adva

well, I guess he has me at a disadvantage. He is actively covering up the demi human situation. Even though my ability makes it so it didnt set off any triggers, the entire sect and even nearby ones might be wiped off the map, if it was discovered.

And as Ive learned, even in righteous organizations, there is only one priority for most people themselves. This is the least I can do.

I also will need to prepare a sufficient gift for Big Sis Crane, whom I assume is the Matriarch Crane he was speaking of. While she told him about the situation, it seems it was to get ahead of the issue.

It remains to be seen whether that was the right thing.

Either way, Im stuck in this situation.

Before I can mull over it further, I feel a shiver down my back and sharply look into the distance.

Soon enough, I can detect someone fast approaching on a sword.

Its Sister Nuan.

It takes two seconds for her to cross the distance from the edge of my scan to in front of me and as soon as she touches down, I can barely see her toss down a talisman in front of us.

The moment it touches the ground, the surrounding air freezes in place and expands like a bubble, enveloping us both. Soon enough, it encompasses a small area around us and is clear for us, but opaque for anyone looking outside. Only the sound from outside can come in, but nothing out.

I dont need my scan to know what this is. A privacy bubble, of sorts. And a high end one, at that.

Before I can even say a word, the look on her face stops me.

Shes biting her lips, and not in the good way. I give her time and try to be silent, for when she wants to speak.

Its not long before she finds her words.

Seeing the change in demeanor, I quickly inform her of the same things that Ai and Lin know (exempting my history on Earth). Including the different relationships I have with a few people.

More than the other information I gave her, that seemed to bother her a bit more, which she quickly hid.

So, youre telling me that in that demi human group, you healed around 60 of them? And most of them are children?

She shakes her head.

Well, at least youre consistent

Do you think the adults of the group have potential?

Its an easy nod, as most of them will be a higher spirit roots once I return to heal them.

Okay, when you head back to Monchon City, Ill be going with you. Well be bringing several gifts for both the Matriarch and the demi humans from the sect, after all.

Excitement builds in my heart, as I realize that theyll be investing in the demi humans to strengthen them.

So, their goal is the same as mine. For them to become strong enough to handle the challenge.

Though, I dont think even the Sect Patriarch realized that even if he had killed all of them and myself, if it were ever discovered someone healed them of the curse in this area, theyd still wipe the sect and all its land off the map.

Just to be sure they were clear of the threat.

But thats only once they confirm that no demi human and allies are up for the challenge. As long as there is at least one, then theyll let a limited number and strength of allies join. So, even if they arent ready the best choice is to always have them try it out with my support.

From my discussion with Patriarch Tao, it seems the Matriarch has been investing into making them stronger.

I immediately try to verify this information, not seeing any changes from my healing abilities. This leads me to assume that whatever they have been given must not have been applied yet.

Perhaps they need the cultivation methods first? As their bodies are already in a heightened, purified state. While combining both my healing abilities will go further, they soared past most items needed for non-cultivators to prepare for cultivation.

Either way, this only means that I will need to make sure that I am giving them the right cultivation method.

Meaning my plans for the library have just become that much more important.

Luckily for me, I should have something decent to work with.
