Chapter 430: Unwilling to Part
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tears welled up in her eyes as Lian Hua’s voice choked with sobs. She threw herself into Victor’s embrace and cried out loudly, “But why? Why do I feel so uncomfortable…”
“Alright, alright…” Victor rubbed Lian Hua’s head and poured a wave of soul power into it, stabilizing Lian Hua’s crumbling emotions.
“Don’t cry anymore. Since you’ve already made up your mind, you shouldn’t cry because of them. Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side no matter what.”
Victor could more or less understand Lian Hua’s thoughts. She hated the master of the Xiao family, which was also what her father had done to her. She also could not accept the fact that they were both that person’s children. However, the treatment she received was vastly different from Xiao Chenggan’s..
However, Lian Hua was too kind. Even though she had suffered such treatment, she still could not convince herself to completely sever her ties with the Xiao family. Therefore, today, she forced herself to reveal her true self… she forced herself to recall memories that she did not want to recall. She forced herself to say words that went against her heart.
“You’ve really done your best… Lian Hua, leave the rest to me…”
Hearing this, Lian Hua nodded. Feeling the warmth in her chest, she finally stopped crying.
On the other end, Nalan Lengling brought Ping An back to the tavern.
“Sister… Master…”
“Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. As long as he wants to leave, Xiao Chenggan won’t be able to stop him.”
Nalan Lengling was very familiar with Victor’s strength. She knew all of his trump cards and abilities.
It was also because of this that Nalan Lengling suddenly felt that she was so insignificant.
All along, Nalan Lengling had thought that as long as she worked hard to cultivate, she would be able to stand by Victor’s side and fight alongside him.
However, when Nalan Lengling saw Xiao Chenggan today, she understood how important talent was.
As both of them were at the completion stage of the core formation realm, it was not an exaggeration to say that Nalan Lengling could not even last ten rounds in front of Xiao Chenggan, but Victor could easily resolve it and even counterattack.
This caused Nalan Lengling to feel a great sense of defeat.
Fortunately, she was not the kind of person who could not recover from a blow.
Nalan Lengling began to reflect. Other than the difference in talent, how inferior was she when compared to Victor and Xiao Chenggan?
Although the Fire Sect’s cultivation method was not as powerful as the Xiao family’s soul method, this did not mean that the Fire Sect’s cultivation method was not up to par. Moreover, the strength of the cultivation method could not be defined as strong or weak, it all depended on the user’s proficiency.
A fire technique that was cultivated to perfection might not necessarily be weaker than the soul technique. In the end, it was all because of Nalan Lengling.
“I still haven’t worked hard enough…”
Nalan Lengling sighed softly as a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
Indeed, her cultivation was the highest among the three of them. However, in reality, her strength was not as good as Victor’s and her talent was inferior to Lian Hua. Just based on her status as a member of the Xiao family in the Southern Plains, Lian Hua’s future achievements might not be inferior to Nalan Lengling’s.
Therefore, what she could do was to do her best to make up for her shortcomings.
As her thoughts surged, Nalan Lengling did not notice that Victor had already returned with Lian Hua.
“What are you thinking about?” Victor walked up to Nalan Lengling.
“Nothing… nothing.”
Nalan Lengling hurriedly stood up when she heard this. She revealed a smile and continued, “Has it been settled?”
“Yes, Xiao Chenggan gave up. He probably has some reason as to why he can’t be injured and must maintain his peak condition. He didn’t choose to fight with me. As for Ping An, Xiao Chenggan will give me a satisfactory answer to your matter.”
“Thank you, master…”
Ping An nodded, a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
To be honest, if it was possible, Ping An naturally hoped that Victor would be able to kill Xiao Chenggan and avenge his mother.
However, he understood that his master could not do that either. Although he had never heard of the Xiao family, he could tell from Victor’s tone that the Xiao family was not a force to be trifled with. Therefore, since Victor was able to make them retreat, Ping An was already very satisfied.
“Master, I want to cultivate!” Ping An raised his head and looked at Victor with his bright eyes. He was more determined now compared to his previous cowardice.
“If you’re willing to learn, then I’ll teach you. However, before that, I’ve made a decision that requires the three of your consents.” Victor looked around and confirmed that Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling had no objections, he continued, “I’ve decided to send the three of you back to the Eastern Plains’ Green Dragon Sect. To be honest, at this point, the three of you staying here will only become a burden for me. Of course, I can keep you in the Small World, but this isn’t a foolproof plan. Moreover, what I’m going to do next is fraught with dangers. If you stay by my side, you’ll only become my weakness.”
Victor had been wanting to do this for a long time. After all, although Lian Hua and Nalan Lengling could protect themselves. However, Victor’s enemies could not be defeated with a core formation or spiritual pedestal realm cultivation.
If anything happened, Victor was afraid that something would happen to the two girls.
In addition, now that there was an extra person who did not even have the strength to bind a chicken, Victor’s actions would more or less be affected.
For example, if Nalan Lengling and Ping An were not present, Victor would not hesitate to anger Xiao Chenggan and fight with him. On one hand, he wanted to understand Xiao Chenggan’s strength. On the other hand, he wanted to help Lian Hua.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Victor finally made up his mind.
After all, the Fire Sect matter had been resolved. The Central Plains Sect Alliance of the Central Plains could not spare any effort to deal with Victor. Against the Green Dragon Sect, his identity as a traitor could be abandoned.
As for what would happen next, the Central Plains Sect Alliance of the Central Plains, the Xiao family of the Southern Plains, the Western Plains, and the Northern Plains, it would be easier for Victor to do it alone.
However, regarding this, the two women and Ping An’s attitudes were very united.
“I refuse, Victor. You said that you’ll always bring me along!” Lian Hua looked at Victor with tears in her eyes.
“Victor, do you think that our strength is too weak and will cause trouble for you?”
“Master, you haven’t taught me how to cultivate yet. I… don’t want to leave.”
“You have no room to refuse.” Victor shook his head. This scene was within his expectations.
“Lian Hua, you said that you wanted me to bring you back to the Southern Plains and send you home, right? But now, you’ve already severed your relationship with the Xiao family of the Southern Plains. There’s no point in continuing to travel together. Moreover, what you need now is a stable environment. With your talent, when you truly grow up, you might not be inferior to me.
“And you, Lengling, although you’ve already advanced to the completion stage of the core formation realm, you still feel as though you’re not enough. The reason is very simple. The quality of your core is not good enough.”
