Chapter 635: Entering the Sect
The cave dwelling in Winged Serpent Village was excellent, and the cultivation resources left behind by the priests were abundant. Although they held little value in Qin Sang’s eyes, they would be a great boon to Mute Girl.
However, staying in Winged Serpent Village meant a lack of peers to learn with and teachers to guide her. Her prospects would be limited. It would also be easy for worldly distractions to creep in. Without strong cultivation or firm resolve, one could easily lose their way.
What Qin Sang had not expected was that Mute Girl would so decisively abandon power that lay within reach, cutting ties without hesitation.
He was not slow-witted. He could guess what Mute Girl was thinking.
But the two of them were destined to be fated without a future together.
In the world of cultivation, Mute Girl’s talent placed her at the very bottom. Even in Nanjiang, where the life-bound insect gu could aid in breakthroughs, her chances of reaching the Foundation Building Realm or Core Formation Realm remained slim.
As for Qin Sang, he would never give up his pursuit of immortality to indulge in romantic entanglements.
He had far too much to accomplish. He would certainly leave Xijiang, and he would not stay in any place for long. Wandering across the ends of the earth, it was not realistic to bring Mute Girl with him.
To help her grow, he had seized the moment and used heavy-handed methods. It was, in truth, due to time constraints.
His purpose on this trip was solely to repay a debt of gratitude. He would not respond to anything beyond that.
Still, when he heard Mute Girl’s decision, a trace of comfort rose in Qin Sang’s heart.
He recalled his own journey of seeking the Dao. Like Mute Girl, he had once resolutely given up easy wealth and power. Though their obsessions differed, they were walking paths that led to the same end.
