Chapter 699 - Ruthless!

“You’re ruthless!” Lan Xinyu finally exclaimed after staring at Fu Huayi for ages, speechless.

Her Majesty the Empress had just ascended the throne a couple of days ago, but was already pregnant out of wedlock. If such a big thing happened, even if they were from sects or the Deity Temple, they truly would feel embarrassed and reluctant to pursue the matter.

Lan Xinyu thought that Ling Chuxi was ruthless, but she never expected that Fu Huayi would be even more ruthless! However, thinking about it, it was possible. Lan Xinyu and Ling Chuxi were like sisters, but Ling Chuxi and Fu Huayi were master and disciple. This situation could also be considered as the disciple surpassing the master.

“Alright, stop fooling around. These pills are for all of you, they’ll be very beneficial for your future cultivation.” Ling Chuxi took out a huge pile of pills and gave them out to everyone. Everyone who was there got pills and no one was left out.

“Master, what are you up to?” Fu Huayi suddenly felt uneasy.

“To be honest, when Mister Mo returns, I will go to the former location of the Golden Pill Sect with Elder Su and attempt to rebuild it,” Ling Chuxi admitted.

“So soon?” Fu Huayi asked sorrowfully.

Ling Chuxi had brought up the matter of the Golden Pill Sect during their casual chats the past few days. Either way, it was not a secret and they never really took it to heart, but nobody thought that she would leave so soon.

Although the rest of them did not say anything, they all looked upset, and the initially happy atmosphere became depressing.

Ling Yichen wanted to say something, but looking at Ling Chuxi, he swallowed his words. His cultivation had already reached the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage, and to an ordinary person, such cultivation speed could only be described as terrifying. However, he himself knew that although the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage and realm of True Essence appeared to be just a step away, in actuality, they were as different as heaven and earth. After all, Battle Qi and True Qi had innate differences too. He wanted to protect Chuxi, not burden her.

“Actually, sects are not as mysterious as you all think. The people in sects are also not necessarily as strong as you all think either. With your abilities, you’d be considered top-notch in any sect. If you all would like to go together, there is no problem,” Su Yizhi said, clearly seeing that the small group was reluctant to separate so soon.

“Really?” Lan Xinyu asked in delight.

Su Yizhi nodded. He really admired these youngsters’ capabilities. The Golden Pill Sect had been gone for over a thousand years, and even if they were to rebuild it, they needed people with potential. Even the weakest, smallest sect might have a background stronger than the Golden Pill Sect, so if he could win over these young people with infinite potential, perhaps in just a few decades, the Golden Pill Sect might once again become one of the top sects.

“Coincidentally, nothing much is going on with the Lan family right now, so I will go along to have a look,” Lan Xinyu immediately said, knowing that this was not an opportunity to be missed.

“I… also want to train through experience… together,” Baili Han said right after.

“I won’t be going. Yichen, the Ling family has me to look after it, so you should go and take a look. Perhaps you might come across the opportunity to breakthrough,” Fu Chengyu suggested.

With his indifferent personality, he was originally unwilling to stay in the capital. However, the situation right now did not allow for him to leave so easily.

Ling Yichen nodded, a complicated look in his eyes.

“That’s right, Elder Su, where is the former site of the Golden Pill Sect?” Gao Wentian asked.

“From Nan Xia, we must enter Shang Yuan, then after that, turn left to Feng Ze Country’s Southwestern hinterlands.” Su Yizhi said. His instructions were not very detailed, but just by hearing them, one could tell that sects were well-hidden, secret places. Even if he gave them more details, they probably still would have trouble finding it.

No wonder the sects were considered so mysterious.
