Chapter 1087: A Good Idea
As for the nirvana flower, it could be a coincidence or there could have been another reason. Ling Chuxi had yet to figure it out so she decided to put it aside for now.
The existence of the Cang Yuan Sword heart was supposed to be a secret and revealing it to be a potential reason for the sect’s destruction might truly crush Su Yizhi and the others. It was best to keep it a secret for now.
“Forget it, don’t think too much about it. Let’s deal with it when it happens. If it’s really them, I will definitely avenge our ancestors even if I have to rally the strength of the entire sect,” said Su Yizhi.
“That’s right. If it’s really them, they will come looking for us eventually even if we don’t find him first. Rather than waiting for death, it’s better to take a gamble and wait. Why should we bother ourselves?” Elder Yuan agreed.
“That’s it, then. Sect Master Ling, Elder Su, I’ll arrange the guest rooms for you now. Everyone should rest early.” Although Zhang Shizhao was reluctant to let go of the discussion, he that if he continued pushed, he might find out something he might not want to know.
“Oh right, there’s one more thing I want to discuss with the sect leader,” said Elder Yuan.
“Please speak, Elder Yuan,” said Ling Chuxi politely. She respected Elder Yuan very much.
“Sect Leader Ling, Elder Su, I don’t think it’s appropriate to rush the matter of letting the descendants of the sect return to the sect yet,” said Elder Yuan. Seeing Su Yizhi’s slightly furrowed brows and Zhang Shizhao’s strange gaze, he quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. In fact, as you’ve seen, the disciples already can’t wait to return to Golden Pill Sect as soon as possible. This loyalty is definitely not fake. However, the sect has just been established. It’s not a good thing to attract attention. Think about it, if it arouses fear in other sects, it will not be good for our sect’s development. Also, if Golden Pill Sect proceeds to establish itself in the sacred realm, it will inevitably offend other sects and attract some form of action. If we show all our cards now, we might be at a disadvantage. I believe it’s better to hide in the dark before we fully expose ourselves.”
Ling Chuxi nodded silently. This was exactly what she had thought of before, but it wasn’t easy for her to speak up about it. Who knew that Elder Yuan would also share the same concerns and thoughts? After living in a chaotic place such as Qianzhong Ridge for so many years, the way Elder Yuan and the others’ think was indeed much more cautious than the others.
“Elder Yuan is right. The reason Golden Pill Sect was destroyed back then was because we exposed ourselves too much. Thus, the other party was able to come prepared and we had no way to defend ourselves,” said Elder Su in agreement with a frown.
“But will it make the descendants of the sect disappointed?” Zhang Shizhao was not very willing to part with the sect so soon. It had been such a painstaking effort for generations of Zhang family’s to be where they were now. And now they had even exchanged their lives for it. Could they possibly be so open-minded just to give up like that? There shouldn’t be any objections, but he was still a little worried.
“There’s no need to worry about that. We can let them return to the sect in batches to cultivate. At the same time, we can also send the descendants of the Su family to Qianzhong Ridge for experiential learning. As long as they know our good intentions, they will definitely not have any objections,” said Ling Chuxi. She already had a solution in mind.
“Good idea. This way, not only will their cultivation level increase but their experience as well. If it’s not convenient for the sect to act directly, the people from the Qianzhong Ridge can act on their behalf. As long as they don’t leave any evidence, the sect’s reputation will not be affected,” said Elder Yuan happily.
