Chapter 34 Get Stronger, Miss Wang
Hearing his wife's complaints, Wang Heng stroked his short beard.
"Madam, our Miaoyin Sect has been affiliated with the Star Palace for many years. The elders in the palace treat us as if we are summoned at will and dismissed at will."
To put it bluntly, he's nothing more than a rather useful dog under the Star Palace's command.
As the sect leader, Wang Heng had his own long-term considerations.
He paused, then lowered his voice.
"Qingyang Sect has a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in charge, making it a powerful sect that dominates the region. Even the elders of the Star Palace have to give it some respect."
If Ning'er could become friends with Qingfeng, or even... I mean, if there really were such a predestined relationship...
For our Miaoyin Sect, this means we have another way out, another reliable support.
In the future, if the Star Palace tries to manipulate us at will, they'll have to think twice about the Qingyang Sect's attitude.
Wang Heng said earnestly.
When Zhou Yuan heard that her husband had such a plan, she frowned and showed disapproval on her face.
"You're using your daughter's happiness as a bargaining chip!"
Yes, the young master has been kind to us, and he seems to be an upright person.
However, he already had two exceptionally beautiful concubines by his side.
How is Ning'er supposed to face this? Is she supposed to compete with others for favor?
In my heart, no matter how good he is, if he cannot be devoted to my daughter, he is not a good match.
I would rather Ning'er find an ordinary cultivator and live a peaceful and happy life than have her get involved in such a complicated relationship and suffer unnecessary heartbreak!
Zhou Yuan said excitedly.
Looking at his wife's slightly angry face, Wang Heng knew that she truly loved their daughter.
"Madam, you have misunderstood me."
No matter how much I, Wang Heng, value the interests of my sect, I would never use Ning'er's lifelong happiness for a naked transaction.
As you just saw, it was Ning'er who took the initiative to want to go out with Young Master Qing.
Have you ever seen her so lively and excited?
Wang Heng softened his tone and took Zhou Yuan's hand as he spoke.
What is happiness? Is it the forced social status, rules, and respectability imposed on her?
Or is it that she herself feels happy and at ease?
Ning'er has been taught to be too sensible since she was a child.
Now that she can temporarily put down those burdens, isn't that a kind of happiness?
Moreover, Ning'er is intelligent, and the young master is no ordinary person either; they have their own destiny and choices.
Let's not worry about it unnecessarily; let nature take its course.
At least for now, befriending the Qingyang Sect is definitely not a bad thing for Ning'er or the Miaoyin Sect.
Wang Heng spoke his mind.
Hearing her husband's words, Zhou Yuan recalled her daughter's heartfelt smile just now and was speechless for a moment.
"Ugh."
She silently sat back down on the edge of the bed, letting out a long sigh, and gazed at the sunlight outside the window.
Perhaps her husband has a point; ultimately, their daughter has to walk her own path.
……
Meanwhile, Qingfeng, who had successfully abducted Xiao Wangning, was summoning a flying sword from his storage bag.
His flying boat was destroyed by the extreme Yin, and now all he has left as a flying artifact is an ordinary flying sword.
Originally, Core Formation cultivators could carry Qi Refining cultivators while flying by releasing their magical power.
But who is Qingfeng? In order to increase Xiao Wang Ning's intimacy, he deliberately stood on the flying sword and had Xiao Wang Ning stand behind him, hugging him as they flew together.
Huoyangdao covers a large area, but the spiritual veins are concentrated there, so the only suitable places for cultivation are Qingfeng Mountain and the area near the foot of the mountain.
The entire Qingyang Sect is arranged according to cultivation level and social status, and cultivation locations are assigned accordingly.
The top floor must be the palace where the Venerable Sanyang secluded himself for cultivation, as well as his treasure vault and forbidden area.
Slightly below is Qingfeng's luxurious cave dwelling, where he, Yuanyao, and Yanli live.
Further down were the cave dwellings of several Core Formation stage elders of the Qingyang Sect, but two of them were dead, leaving only Elder Liu.
The pavilions and guest rooms where Han Li, Wang Heng, and others were located were situated in the mountainside area.
The main hall of Qingyang Gate is also located in this area.
The main hall of Qingyang Sect houses various functions, including where sect disciples receive missions and exchange rewards, and serves as the sect's treasury. It is the busiest place in the entire sect, with the most cultivators coming and going.
Slightly below the main hall is the cultivation ground for Foundation Establishment disciples, where they can freely build their own cave dwellings.
Finally, at the foot of the mountain, there was a mixed living area for Qi cultivation disciples and ordinary people.
At this moment, Qingfeng, riding on his flying sword, flew out of the pavilion with Xiao Wang Ning in tow.
The Qingyang Sect disciples who came and went all bowed respectfully upon seeing him.
"Hey. Who's that little female cultivator behind the young master's flying sword?"
"I don't know. Hurry up and go into the main hall to hand in the mission. Don't pry into the young master's affairs."
"That's right, didn't you hear what the guards who came back from Kuixing Island said?"
This time, the young master has killed the traitors Elder Zhang and Elder Wang!
Several Foundation Establishment stage disciples shrank back as they watched Qingfeng's departing figure.
Their Qingyang Sect only has a few Core Formation cultivators left, and now there's only the elderly Elder Liu left.
Meanwhile, the young master, whom the sect disciples greatly feared, was currently riding a flying sword with Wang Ning on a leisurely ride.
"Miss Wang, this area below is the port area of my Qingyang Sect, and that area is where Qi Refining disciples live and cultivate."
That's a wasteland without any spiritual veins, where some mortals cultivate the land...
On his flying sword, Qingfeng introduced the various areas of Qingyang Sect to Wang Ning.
As they flew overhead, it was the first time Wang Ning had ever seen ordinary people farming.
On that barren land devoid of spiritual veins, a few simple thatched huts were scattered about, and ragged mortals were bending over and working in the fields under the scorching sun.
"Brother Qing, do you think those mortals suffer a lot living here?"
Wang Ning asked thoughtfully.
"The environment in the Chaotic Star Sea is harsh, and for them, survival itself is already a difficult task."
"That's what Qingfeng replied."
"It's not just the environment; my father and mother told me that before."
The mortals of the Chaotic Star Sea face more than just sea breezes and barren land.
Villages near the sea are often frequented by low-level monsters that come ashore to devour people… I’ve heard that some villages have vanished overnight.
Wang Ning shook her head, her voice muffled.
"Furthermore, there are also demonic cultivators like those from Jiyin Island."
In their pursuit of martial arts skills and magical treasures, they disregarded the lives of ordinary people.
My mother said that some cultivators who practice evil arts would even deliberately slaughter people in places where mortals gathered, collecting their resentful souls.
Wang Ning expressed her feelings.
She had also observed the lives of mortals in Tianxing City, but that was at the foot of the Twin Saints.
The ordinary people living in Tianxing City are all locals and there is no danger at all.
But what is life like for mortals in other places, especially where there are no monks to protect them?
"Sometimes I think that the Miaoyin Sect relies on the Star Palace, always on edge and walking on thin ice."
My parents are always worried, and I feel like we're having a tough time.
But seeing them now, I suddenly realize that I'm already incredibly lucky to have grown up safely, to be able to cultivate, and to be able to see a wider sky.
Xiao Wang Ning sighed.
"Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs."
In the face of the vast Heavenly Dao and merciless calamities, there is actually no essential difference between cultivators and mortals.
It's simply a matter of how one struggles to survive, just different from their abilities.
However, it is precisely because they have witnessed hardship that they know how difficult it is to survive.
We should cherish the opportunities we have and strive to master our own strength.
Only when storms rage, monsters lurk, and evil spirits covet, can one have the power to protect those they wish to safeguard.
As Qingfeng spoke, he slowly landed his flying sword on a beach.
Then, he took out two fishing rods from his storage bag and handed the smaller one to Wang Ning.
"So, cultivate diligently, Miss Wang. Only by becoming strong enough can you determine your own destiny."
Qingfeng took the fishing rod and cast the fishing line out.
"Hmm, but Brother Qing, did you forget to put bait on your fishing hook?"
Xiao Wang Ning smiled slightly and reminded her.
"Uh, you don't understand, I call it 'willing to take the bait'."
