Chapter 632: Courage
Qin Sang handed the Cold Gold Sword to Mute Girl and laid bare the true purpose behind Winged Serpent Village’s selection of a saintess. Then he met her gaze and quietly waited for her decision.
Cultivation was no banquet.
The only way Qin Sang could repay Mute Girl for saving his life was by giving her the strength to take control of her own fate. He could not remain by her side forever, shielding her from harm.
His own path remained uncertain, and many urgent matters demanded his attention. Once he left, he might never return.
If Mute Girl lacked even the courage to raise a blade against the enemies who had intended to turn her into a pill, then no matter how powerful she became, she would be like a tiger without fangs, destined only to bring disaster upon herself.
Those who save themselves will be saved by the heavens.
If Mute Girl dared not take the sword, Qin Sang would consider finding a safe and peaceful place for her, letting her live a life of luxury and comfort, never to be entangled in the turbulent world of martial conflict.
Perhaps that would be better for her.
Turning people into pills. Feeding insect gu with them.
The brutal reality of the cultivation world was torn open by Qin Sang and laid bare before Mute Girl, just a glimpse of the iceberg.

Mute Girl stood frozen in shock.
