Chapter 516 - 225: 3 Consecutive Wins! Hua Hua’er! _2
While pondering, the little girl Shen Qinghan beside him excitedly spoke, "Sect Leader Senior Brother, my match is over. Let’s go back and chat!"
"Chat..." Yuchi was surprised.
"Yes! We had such a joyful chat yesterday afternoon!"
Shen Qinghan’s idea was for everyone to gather and share some heartfelt words, talk about past events, to build stronger bonds with each other! Although they were loyal to the Immortal Sect and would never betray Ascension Gate, from a purely emotional perspective, the better the relationship, the more comfortable it is.
It’s like marriage; simply staying together can be understood as not betraying, but forcing to stay together for the kids, even sleeping in separate beds, eventually the feelings fade away, and life becomes as flavorless as chewing wax.
The disciples certainly wouldn’t betray Ascension Gate legally, after all, Ascension Gate provided them with such a stable environment and plenty of elixirs. To betray such kindness would be inhuman. But staying because of gratitude versus staying because of emotions is entirely different.
So chatting was much better.
Other disciples, though silent, eagerly looked at their Sect Leader Senior Brother, and if Yuchi indeed had something in the afternoon and wasn’t free, they wouldn’t complain, but to sit down peacefully and have the chance to pour a couple of cups of tea for him, they were grateful to Sect Leader Senior Brother!
"Of course." Yuchi smiled affirmatively.
Only by treating disciples as people would they gradually come to respect him, only then could he feel somewhat self-comforted.
"Bravo!" Shen Qinghan instantly felt joyous, wanting to hug her Sect Leader Senior Brother, but due to embarrassment and the presence of others, she immediately hugged Xu Feiling, burying herself in Feiling’s embrace with great happiness.
Other disciples behind their masks, too, wore bright smiles.
Humming songs, they went to the roadside to grab some free food and drinks, and then returned to the little abode belonging to Ascension Gate!
...
The afternoon quickly passed amidst the disciples’ cheerful chats, indeed, the day is boring or not, it depends on the people around. With beauties around, one’s eyes are wide open; it’s hard to sleep.
Through the words and confessions of several disciples in the afternoon, Yuchi truly learned some past stories of his disciples.
Firstly, little girl Shen Qinghan, when she was young, had great strength. In the little village, she was responsible for farming and other stuff, but when the village later experienced a disease outbreak, her parents passed away, she began to become somewhat tricky. If Yuchi hadn’t arrived at that village back then and asked if she wanted to cultivate.
She was ready to pack up, save money enough, and directly leave the small town, planning to go wherever, not wanting to stay longer. According to Qinghan’s recounting, if she indeed left the village back then, she might have met with her doom. Speaking of which, it was quite embarrassing, yet honest.
Next was Xu Feiling, Feiling’s prior hunting experiences were mentioned. She said her archery was quite impressive, Yuchi wasn’t the first to be accidentally injured by her; she previously had a brother, but while training her, he was shot in the foot three times in succession, after which he dared not cultivate anymore, and left the village crying...
Goodness, was this girl so wild in the past?
On the other side, Huo Shanlan’s story was simple, this millennium-year-old sister whom Song Yinghan admired deeply for her beauty, her life could be summarized in a few brief moments.
Ah, the desire to cultivate. Eh, what’s this shiny item underfoot? Picking it up, is it a treasure? After using it slightly, indeed, it’s a treasure. Then the power began to rise, wandered leisurely around and accidentally fell into a gorge, caught by a wind into a cave, which turned out to be the Immortal Cave...
Looking inside the cave, there were cultivation techniques and elixirs left by predecessors, should she maybe try learning? Then she began learning and consuming, her power increased once more.
Venturing out surely meant finding a treasure, cultivation surely led to critical hits, heading to the sect surely led to eventually becoming an inheritor, until recently she wanted to take a disciple, and ended up joining Yuchi’s sect, then the Blessed Land and elixirs arrived... her strength surpassed the previous Golden Core Realm third level.
The nearby disciples felt like banging their heads against the wall hearing this, what kind of existence is this, is this a human?! Must they be blessed with luck! Just randomly picking treasures, chosen by the heavens! Could she share how to find treasures? Let us find some treasures too... not even a penny has ever been found by us!
Feng Dongran brought up something Yuchi didn’t know, a small matter related to the commerce guild. When the guild was just getting established, Zhou Xingcai wanted her to serve her, sad serving as Zhou Xingcai seemed aware of her discontent, she threatened her saying if she didn’t serve her properly, she’d be married to the guild president, binding her forever.
