Reincarnation Of The Businesswoman At School Chapter 3480 Three Months Later

"Should you prefer not to risk it alongside us, hold off until our revenge is taken before setting out. Going now would be too hazardous. That said, we aren't departing immediately. We'll first head to Dragon Bone Forest for training, then slowly slip into Tiancheng Sect. We'll strike only when victory seems certain, though danger still exists—no one can predict future events with absolute certainty," Leng Xiaoyao explained. Though brimming with confidence, she avoided firm promises, refusing to endanger Nan Weiyue.
Nan Weiyue felt stunned at first, but she soon resolved to join them. "I'll come along with you."
Leng Xiaoyao had rescued her life and generously shared this information. Rejecting now would feel ungrateful.
Nan Weiyue's decision wasn't driven solely by that concern. She was aware Leng Xiaoyao had reached the Yuan Ying Period, and her companion likely matched that level.
From their travels together, Nan Weiyue had gained insight into Leng Xiaoyao's nature. She trusted her decisions, convinced Leng Xiaoyao wouldn't act without confidence in success.
"You're certain?" Leng Xiaoyao inquired. If Nan Weiyue committed, she'd bear the consequences herself. Should disaster strike, Leng Xiaoyao wouldn't shoulder guilt.
Her utmost was to shield her to the best of her ability.
"I'm certain, but can I bring Qin Er too?" Nan Weiyue requested, unwilling to abandon Qin Er.
"Naturally," Leng Xiaoyao replied, fully aware they were inseparable. She'd never dream of dividing them!
Thus, Nan Weiyue and Qin Er eagerly gathered their belongings.
Come the next day, they arrived at the inn housing Li Mochen and his group.
Introductions made, they shared a breakfast.
Following that, they departed Dragon Bone City.
Fatefully, Long Qi crossed their path on the street.
"Senior, where are you headed?" Long Qi inquired with curiosity.
"To Dragon Bone Forest for training," Li Mochen answered truthfully.
Long Qi's eyes sparkled instantly as he pleaded, "May I join you? I've been eager to go too."
He'd long yearned for Dragon Bone Forest, particularly its depths, yet his cultivation barred solo ventures unless guided by a family senior.
Dragon Bone Forest split into outer, inner, and core zones.
Outer zones suited foundation-building or early Golden Core cultivators typically.
Golden Core experts could venture into the inner zone's front half. Seldom did they risk the latter portion near the core, uncertain of lurking high-level magical beasts there.
Li Mochen's team differed markedly. His superior cultivation offered protection; even passively, his presence mitigated dangers.
"Certainly." Li Mochen welcomed him readily. Training trips posed no hassle with Long Qi added.
Tiancheng Sect probes weren't needed from the group; Li Mochen could handle them solo anyway.
Brief absences went unnoticed easily.
Delighted by Li Mochen's nod, Long Qi tagged along solo, sans escorts.
Leng Xiaoyao teased lightly, "Trailing us by yourself—are you not worried we might do you harm?"
Long Qi paused, caught off guard by the notion.
Truth be told, fear eluded him entirely!
"So, will you?" Long Qi bantered back.
"Who knows? You're the Long family heir, after all—quite valuable!" Leng Xiaoyao quipped. Facts underpinned it, yet her tone stayed playful; exploiting him lay far from their plans.
"Fair point, but I'm unafraid regardless!" Long Qi chuckled heartily.
Fresh acquaintances though they were, Li Mochen and Leng Xiaoyao struck him as harmless.
Witnessing Leng Xiaoyao's banter with Long Qi, Li Mochen's jealousy flared. He clasped her hand firmly, unleashing his aura boldly.
The pressure hit all, leaving them bemused and silent. Such intense envy?
Long Qi offered an awkward grin, steering clear of further chat with Leng Xiaoyao.
The party exited the city, soaring on flying swords straight to Dragon Bone Forest.
Only Li Mochen, Leng Xiaoyao, and Long Qi wielded such artifacts. Long Qi ferried two, Leng Xiaoyao two more, leaving Li Mochen with the rest.
They descended at the inner fringe of Dragon Bone Forest.
Low-tier magical beasts drew no strikes from Li Mochen or Leng Xiaoyao—too trivial. Instead, Nan Weiyue's crew handled them for hands-on practice.
Minor injuries stayed untouched mid-fight; healing came afterward, unless critical.
True battles forged experience, toughened meridians, boosted magical energy intake, and elevated cultivation.
Three months passed.
Leng Xiaoyao advanced from Yuan Ying Period peak to early Out-of-body Stage.
Long Qi leaped from Golden Core Stage to early Yuan Ying Stage.
Leng Yan hit Golden Core Stage peak. Nan Weiyue ascended to early Golden Core Stage immortality.
Qin Er progressed from early Foundation Building Stage to mid-stage. Others claimed early Golden Core Stage.
Li Mochen held at Out-of-body Stage peak, solidifying his prior unsteady realm.
Only by trailing Li Mochen's crew did Long Qi learn their real prowess, leaving him awestruck.
Guiyun boasted fewer than a hundred Out-of-body cultivators total.
Hence, they commanded immense prestige across Guiyun.
Long Qi burned with envy for Li Mochen, not yet thirty yet at Out-of-body peak. Vast years loomed, promising swift Achievement Stage ascent!
Over these months, Tiancheng Sect scouting occurred too.
Li Mochen even forged a pact with junior brother Immortal Ling Chen: aid in slaying Ling Feng, gain sect leadership support.
To Immortal Ling Chen, Li Mochen posed as Ling Yin's clone, not the man himself.
Ling Yin's whereabouts? Unknown to Li Mochen, who claimed directives alone to eliminate Ling Feng.
Ling Yin's token convinced Immortal Ling Chen.
As Tiancheng Sect elder, Immortal Ling Chen shared scant past ties with Ling Yin but nursed deep grudge against Ling Feng.
