Seeing this scene, Su Chen's pupils trembled violently.
Then he blurted out, "A ghost?"
Hearing these words,
The woman in palace attire's face instantly darkened. "What ghost! You're the ghost!"
This kid actually called her a ghost! He really lacks discernment!
Su Waner, who was nearby, hurriedly explained, "Brother, this isn't a ghost. She is a Divine Thought from a powerful expert!"
As she finished speaking,
Su Chen was even more shocked in his heart.
A Divine Thought?
It seems only a Dao Palace Realm Expert can condense one!
In other words, the woman's true body is a Dao Palace Realm, or perhaps even more powerful expert?
After the shock, Su Chen immediately became vigilant again.
He pulled Su Waner to his side and whispered, "Sister, how did you get entangled with this kind of thing?"
As he finished speaking,
A few veins popped on the forehead of the woman in palace attire. Does this kid even know how to talk? What does he mean by 'entangled with this kind of thing'? How infuriating!
Su Waner didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then said, "Brother, you're too nervous. Senior Nangong is a very good person and bears no ill will toward me."
Hearing this,
Nangong Jing's face, which had been livid, softened slightly.
Then she snorted, "Hmph, now that's more like it, Waner!"
Then she glanced at Su Chen and said, "So you're Su Waner's Genius brother? Seeing you today, you're nothing special!"
Su Chen's brow twitched slightly.
If he wasn't mistaken, this person seemed to have some hostility toward him?
But he had only just met her... Could it be because of those two sentences just now? If so, she's far too petty.
As if seeing through Su Chen's thoughts,
Nangong Jing snorted, "Hmph, I am not that petty."
She paused.
She continued, "I'm unhappy with you because your sister should have returned to the Saint Spirit Sect with me to Cultivate half a year ago! But because she was worried about you, she kept refusing me!"
This was the real reason for Nangong Jing's displeasure.
Because of this kid, such a good seedling had been delayed for half a year in this backwater place!
In Nangong Jing's eyes, this was practically slow suicide! A waste of time!
"You should know that this is the golden age for cultivation. With Su Waner's Physique, if she had gone back half a year ago, with the Sect's various Heaven And Earth Treasures and the support of abundant Spiritual Qi, she would have likely undergone a complete transformation and entered the Tuotai Realm by now."
"How could she still be at only the Meridian Opening Ninth Level?"
Hearing this,
Su Chen's brow furrowed immediately.
What?
His sister chose to stay here half a year ago because she was worried about him, refusing to go with this woman in palace attire to Cultivate?
"Sister, is it true?"
Su Waner shook her head. "It has nothing to do with you; I just didn't want to go."
Hearing this,
Su Chen sighed in his heart, knowing that what the woman in palace attire said was true. His sister had consistently refused to go to the Saint Spirit Sect to Cultivate because of him... Then he looked at the woman and said in a deep voice, "Then, Senior, what is the solution you mentioned just now?"
At this moment, he was no longer as wary of her. After all, she had been with his sister for half a year without doing anything out of line, and she hadn't used force when his sister refused to go to the Saint Spirit Sect.
This showed that the woman in palace attire likely bore no ill will toward his sister.
Nangong Jing spoke in a flat voice, "It's simple. Your sister comes back to the Saint Spirit Sect with me! You go seek your revenge!"
As she finished speaking,
Su Waner immediately shook her head in refusal. "No! I won't be separated from my brother. If we go, we go together!"
Nangong Jing couldn't help but feel a headache. "Waner, it's not that I don't want to take your brother, but my current power is only enough to take one person through the Void Realm to the Saint Spirit Sect. Furthermore..."
She paused.
Nangong Jing continued, "Furthermore, even if I took your brother to the Saint Spirit Sect, with his Aptitude, he could only be an Outer Sect Disciple... and if he failed to promote to an Inner Sect Disciple within five years, he would be expelled from the Sect."
Although the Nirvana Sword Body on Su Chen's body was very special and could continuously improve, to outsiders right now, it appeared to be just a Heaven-rank Bloodline.
And a Heaven-rank Bloodline... was nothing in the eyes of an expert like Nangong Jing.
"A Heaven-rank Bloodline is merely a Mortal Physique; King Physiques, Emperor Physiques, and Saint Physiques are the true geniuses!"
Nangong Jing shook her head inwardly.
One could only say that the martial arts in this place were too weak if even a Heaven-rank Bloodline could be considered a Genius!
"How is that possible! My brother is a Sword Cultivator!"
Su Waner didn't believe it.
Nangong Jing said softly, "Waner, this world is very big!"
Sword Cultivators are rare, but the youth before her was merely the weakest kind of Sword Cultivator, one who had only recently condensed Sword Qi.
This was nothing to the Saint Spirit Sect she belonged to.
She wouldn't say there were countless Sword Cultivators like this youth in the Outer Sect who had just condensed Sword Qi, but there were at least a thousand!
Su Waner bit her lip and didn't reply, but the stubbornness on her face already made her thoughts clear.
If her brother didn't go, she wouldn't go!
Seeing this,
Nangong Jing sighed in her heart.
Then she looked at Su Chen and sent a Transmission, "Kid, if you really want what's best for your sister, help me persuade her!"
"Her staying here is simply a waste of natural talent; it's a crime!"
Su Chen furrowed his brows and replied in his heart, "Senior, is my sister's Physique really that good?"
He was a bit skeptical.
Because although Su Waner's cultivation wasn't slow, it wasn't particularly fast either; otherwise, she wouldn't have only reached the Meridian Opening Ninth Level after all these years.
Seeing the doubt in Su Chen's heart,
Nangong Jing transmitted, "That's because your sister took the wrong path! She shouldn't have been practicing these Cultivation Techniques! Only my Saint Spirit Sect has the most suitable Cultivation Techniques and Legacy for her!"
As she finished speaking,
Su Chen nodded, then he spoke, "Then, Senior, can you swear on your Martial Heart that you will never harm my sister?"
Hearing this,
Nangong Jing's brow furrowed immediately.
Swearing on a Martial Heart?
This was no joke. If the oath was violated, the Martial Heart would suffer a backlash from the vow! At best, one would be severely injured; at worst, they would die!
However, Nangong Jing didn't hesitate for long and directly agreed, "I can!"
She never intended to harm Su Waner, so she naturally wasn't afraid to make this oath.
Seeing this,
Su Chen was completely relieved. It seemed Nangong Jing truly thought his sister had great Aptitude and wanted to bring her back to the Sect for training.
Then he looked at Su Waner and said, "Sister, you should go to the Saint Spirit Sect with Senior. I can handle things here."
But Su Waner still said with a determined face, "No, if we go, we go together."
She couldn't leave Su Chen in such a dangerous place!
Just then,
Nangong Jing suddenly spoke, "How about this? I'll take you back first, and then I'll split off a wisp of my Divine Soul to come back for your brother."
Hearing this, Su Waner frowned, "Take my brother first. I'll wait for you here."
"No, you have to go first."
Nangong Jing said firmly.
Su Chen also spoke, "Sister, just listen to Senior Nangong. I'm stronger than you; staying here will be safer for me!"
