Chapter 128.2 : The Decision (Part 2)
Su Lingyuan originally wanted to say that she should go.
But when she thought about her current level of cultivation—although she was already outstanding among the younger generation—it still wasn't enough if she were to handle most dangers on her own.
[Luo Huangjun]: Elder Ying, you… are indeed a very suitable candidate…
After giving it some thought, Luo Huangjun felt that Ying Qingjue truly was the best person to accompany Chu Ge.
She herself was the Sacred Lord and needed to remain behind to preside over Taihuang.
Dantai Jinglian was also unsuitable—not to mention whether she would even be willing.
If her own senior sister were to go out on a journey, Chu Ge might not be in danger at all—rather, danger might come looking for him because of her.
Because of all the things she had done in her younger years, even now there were still many who harbored deep hatred toward Dantai Jinglian.
The number of people she had offended was simply beyond counting.
As for Shui Qianrou, she was actually quite suitable as well. If Ying Qingjue were not an option, then Shui Qianrou would have been the best choice.
Her Great-Power realm cultivation was enough to deal with the vast majority of situations in the outside world, not to mention that she was also an alchemist.
But with Ying Qingjue—an Eighth Heaven expert—present, Shui Qianrou could only be placed behind her.
As for the others, Luo Huangjun didn't consider them at all.
The Lu sisters aside.
Su Lingyuan's cultivation was decent, and she possessed many methods and trump cards. Even if she faced a Great-Power expert, she could still maneuver and hold her ground for a time.
But she lacked experience traveling the cultivation world. If she were to go with Chu Ge, it was hard to say who would end up taking care of whom.
[Lu Fuyao]: Tingni, we need to cultivate diligently from now on.
[Lu Tingni]: Got it, Sister!
From beginning to end, the two sisters never mentioned accompanying Chu Ge.
They knew their own limits. With their current cultivation, following Chu Ge would only become a burden.
If real danger were to arise, Chu Ge would inevitably have to look after them, and they were unwilling to add trouble to the man they loved.
Yet they also had their own thoughts.
If they couldn't do it this time, then they would cultivate harder. They had both obtained their respective highest-tier rewards, and their progress was by no means slow.
With such supreme rewards backing them, the two sisters were confident that they were already inferior to no peerless genius in the world.
Given time, they would eventually possess both the strength and the qualification to travel alongside Chu Ge.
[Zhao Qinghui]: Senior Brother Chu is finally going out into the cultivation world? His first stop should be Wangjian City, right? Then I'd better prepare—I'll have to give Senior Brother a proper welcome!
[Dantai Xuanyin]: Qinghui, I've encountered a bottleneck in sword dao these past few days. You wouldn't mind if I came over to the Heavenly Sword Sacred Land to trouble you for a while, would you?
[Zhao Qinghui]: Sister Xuanyin is more than welcome to visit our Heavenly Sword Sacred Land!
Zhao Qinghui naturally understood Dantai Xuanyin's true purpose.
Not only her—everyone in the group, even Su Lingyuan, could see it clearly. Yet no one chose to expose it.
Everyone had their own intentions. What's more, Luo Huangjun had already laid things bare with them some days ago, allowing them to act freely and rely on their own methods.
In the past, when Chu Ge remained in Taihuang, Zhao Qinghui and Dantai Xuanyin had very few opportunities.
Now that Chu Ge was about to walk the cultivation world, their chances had naturally arrived—and of course, they would not let them slip by.
[Luo Huangjun]: No rush. For now, Xiao Chu has only mentioned this in his diary—he hasn't formally brought it up with me yet. When the time comes, I'll ask for his thoughts: whether he wishes to travel alone, or is willing to have someone accompany him.
Chu Ge, naturally, had no idea that a single mention of going out had already stirred so many emotions in the group chat.
Beyond worry and reluctance, each of the women also harbored her own thoughts.
All of them intended, during these final few days, to let him fully enjoy the devotion and companionship of this place called Taihuang—a land that was, in truth, a gentle paradise.
They could all foresee that once Chu Ge left, he would inevitably encounter other, unknown holders of diary replicas, and face all kinds of temptations.
They were unwilling to let their impressions in Chu Ge's heart fade.
And so, in this final stretch of time, they intended to leave behind the deepest, most unforgettable memories in his heart.
