Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Chapter 3477 Such a Well Rounded Man
Previously on Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School...
The Long family steward swiftly uncovered Nan Weiyue's origins. She truly hailed from the Nan family as their eldest daughter, yet her fate had been exceedingly unfortunate.
Far from being cherished, after her stepsister's death, that stepsister attempted to seize her body. Even Patriarch Nan placed a seal on Nan Weiyue, compelling her to share a body with Nan Weiyun.
Though Nan Weiyue possessed a kind heart, Nan Weiyun did not. Using Nan Weiyue's body, she committed numerous wicked deeds, bringing endless shame.
Just days prior, Nan Weiyue encountered a mighty expert who removed the seal for her. She then consumed Nan Weiyun's soul, drawing the Nan family's relentless chase.
The Nan family's treatment of Nan Weiyue was utterly heartless.
Patriarch Long had only one wife, two sons, and a single daughter, all deeply adored.
They never oppressed the offspring of their siblings; resources were distributed equally based on each individual's cultivation aptitude.
In such a vast clan filled with numerous siblings, disputes were bound to arise. Young ones typically settled them independently, but if Patriarch Long stepped in, justice was always served impartially.
…
Having lingered in Dragon Bone City for a full ten days, Li Mochen and his group at last made their entrance.
Everyone had assumed new identities, save for Song Qingling. Leng Xiaoyao failed to spot the others right away, requiring their self-introductions.
By possessing bodies of Foundation Building Stage cultivators, their current cultivation stood at an ordinary level.
"I intend to train them up first before heading to the Tiancheng Sect. We'll also need to boost our own cultivation and gather intel on the Tiancheng Sect's state," Li Mochen declared. "Even though Ling Feng now leads as sect leader, he hasn't fully seized control of the Tiancheng Sect. Our priority is identifying those at odds with Ling Feng who hold enough influence to claim the sect leader position. We'll ally with them to oust Ling Feng."
"Are you truly uninterested in the sect leader role? It signifies immense authority!" Leng Xiaoyao teased.
Li Mochen abruptly drew near her. His warm breath brushed her ear, sending a tingling sensation through her. "My sole interest lies in you."
Heat rushed to Leng Xiaoyao's face, her pulse quickening. She shot Li Mochen a fierce look. Others were present! How could he utter such words?
Leng Xiaoyao swiftly shifted the subject. "Since you've all altered your looks now, why not enter the Tiancheng Sect straightaway and seek chances within?"
"That's my plan as well, yet they require cultivation first. Without sufficient strength, the Tiancheng Sect won't admit them. After all, I have no desire to remain sect leader. I'll serve as an elder at most. Plus, I wish to show you more sights, so we can't linger solely in the Tiancheng Sect. Eventually, they'll need to stand on their own," Li Mochen explained.
Leng Xiaoyao nodded in agreement. Their cultivation demanded further effort.
"Night is falling. Let's secure an inn for the evening and venture into Dragon Bone Forest for training come morning," Li Mochen suggested.
Dragon Bone Forest served not just for beast hunting but also for advancing cultivation via fierce combats. True progress in cultivation required ample real combat exposure.
Yet sparring with fellow cultivators proved impractical, as concerns over injuries prevented unleashing full power. Such hesitation yielded minimal gains.
"Alright." Leng Xiaoyao consented, then recalled something. Turning to Li Mochen, she added, "Oh, right, back in Black Cloud City, I rescued Nan Weiyue, daughter of the City Lord. She's now hunted by the Nan family and seeks entry into the Tiancheng Sect. She might need to include her maid. Shall we bring them along?"
Nan Weiyue and Qin Er shared a bond like true sisters, so Nan Weiyue refused to abandon Qin Er.
Should the Tiancheng Sect reject them both, they'd retreat to Dragon Bone City as a pair.
Though the Tiancheng Sect perched atop a mountain, a town sprawled at its base to supply essentials like rice, oil, and salt.
This settlement bore the name Tianshui Town. Not as grand as Dragon Bone City, it remained a sizable hub.
Should Nan Weiyue gain acceptance into the Tiancheng Sect while Qin Er did not, Nan Weiyue could settle Qin Er in Tianshui Town.
They avoided Tianshui Town initially because it differed from Dragon Bone City, under the Long family's strict domain where the Nan family feared to act rashly.
Tianshui Town fell outside the Tiancheng Sect's direct oversight. While the sect offered some safeguarding, any Nan family assault on Nan Weiyue there would count as personal vengeance, leaving the Tiancheng Sect powerless to meddle.
Thus, residing in Tianshui Town heightened their peril.
That said, for Qin Er alone, caution would suffice to avert major threats.
Ideally, Nan Weiyue yearned for both to enter the Tiancheng Sect.
"It's your call, but warn her clearly that the Tiancheng Sect path holds no guarantees of safety. In battle, we might not shield everyone," Li Mochen replied. Adding one more posed no issue. Leng Xiaoyao's proposal meant she wished to aid them.
"I know! I'll discuss it with her. She can decide freely whether to join us or not," Leng Xiaoyao affirmed. Accompanying them carried risks, so choice was essential.
Once Leng Xiaoyao, Li Mochen, and the rest finished dining, the others retired to the inn, while Li Mochen and Leng Xiaoyao slipped out for a stroll and private moments.
Separated for so long, mutual longing burned strong between them.
Their striking appearances drew countless gazes wherever they went.
All at once, Leng Xiaoyao and Li Mochen sensed two pairs of eyes fixed upon them.
No malice laced those stares, yet they stirred deep unease.
Those gazes originated from two stunning women at the second-floor window of a nearby teahouse.
Both boasted ravishing beauty, their eyes brimming with awe. One displayed even greater intensity, greed flashing as drool nearly dripped from her lips.
Then, one woman spoke up. "Heavens, this man is utterly gorgeous! From his physique to his looks and aura, he fits my ideals perfectly. Never have I beheld such a flawless man! How wonderful it would be to become his Dao partner."
"Yet he's accompanied by a woman who suits him ideally; she must be his Dao partner!" the other replied. Though captivated, she harbored no such ambitions as Long Jiaojiao. Before such perfection, she deemed herself unworthy.
