Chapter 199 To the East Sea and Tame the Wave of Demon (2/2)
Shen Lian had other plans for Meng Xunzhen and his disciple. Just as he fell into deep thoughts, a ray of light traveled from beyond the mountains. The light landed outside of the hall and it was a woman as beautiful as a painting, and that person was Gu Caiwei.
She entered with grace just like the stream of the spring water.
Upon her presence, Shen Lian nodded his head and said, ”Senior Apprentice-Sister, you're finally here.”
Gu Caiwei smiled, ”Other people would never to go to a temple for nothing and you would not summon me to Qing Xuan for nothing. Tell me, what is it.”
Shen Lian responded with a smile as he did not mind the banters with Gu Caiwei. They both enjoyed a friendship deeper than any other people. He waited for her to stop laughing and said, ”I want to set up another lower house somewhere around the sea. I'll send some disciples over to base there and at the same time recruit some outstanding cultivators from overseas to join as our periphery disciples. If there are any impressive candidates, we can just take him in here to cultivate.”
Gu Caiwei responded, ”Are you assigning me to this task?”
Shen Lian sighed, ”You are the perfect candidate for this task. But the decision is on you, I will not force you to accept it.”
Gu Caiwei rolled her eyes, revealing a flirtatious expression. Although she was not extremely beautiful, she possessed very pure qualities. Naturally, Shen Lian did not be a killjoy as he took extra glances at her.
Gu Caiwei retreated, she thought to herself, ”After becoming the chief, this kid has gotten more thick skinned and black-hearted.” She quickly retracted these thoughts as it might be disrespectful to Zhang Ruoxu.
She had her hesitations but it was not reflected on her face as she casually answered, ”Considering that you've put it that way, how could I reject it? If I do not break through in the next twenty to thirty years, I probably have no more hopes of achieving it in this lifetime. I am also bored of staying in Qing Xuan, it's not entirely a bad thing to go out.”
Shen Lian said, ”You don't need to worry about it. Lately, I've been able to comprehend Taixu and gained some knowledge from there. Within the next three to five years, I should be able to help you with that.”
”That would be awesome and I wouldn't be all formal with you. Since you want to build a lower house, you must give me a title and a token for keepsake.” Gu Caiwei was somewhat motivated. Previously, Qing Xuan had to stay low because they suffered heavy losses hundred of years ago. Now that Qing Xuan had recovered, there was no more need to play down. Times had indeed changed.
Shen Lian knew that Gu Caiwei was an understanding person. She had been a great help to Zhang Ruoxu and that was why he went straight to the point, ”I've prepared a talisman order and you can use it to build the new lower house. As for your title, you can decide it yourself. Now that the demons are running wild overseas, maybe you could use your powers to eliminate some demons and win the hearts of people.”
Gu Caiwei said, ”And no one would stop me this time around?”
Shen Lian fixed his gaze to somewhere far away and said, ”Senior Apprentice-Sister, have you heard of this military tactic that says, a man could take a thousand steps and yet remained as a shape without soul that can be crushed with one step.”
Gu Caiwei smiled, ”And who is this person?”
Shen Lian responded, ”That would be me.” Although his tone did not sound determined he was definitely confident and dominating.
Gu Caiwei was somewhat stunned, the current Shen Lian reminded her of the founding master who was a warm person but also possessed the charisma to despise all things. Perhaps that was the destiny of a cultivator of the Taixu Strategy; it would somehow bring out the other side of a person.
Would Shen Lian have two different sides to him sharing a single body, just like Qingxiao and Ziling?
Gu Caiwei could not predict things like that. All she knew was Shen Lian would never let down the hopes of Zhang Ruoxu. Prior to the rise of Lu Jiuyuan, the Xuantian Sect was not any better than Qing Xuan. But after Lu Jiuyuan, they raised to become the best Dao sect in the universe.
These thoughts flashed across her mind but she just smiled and said, ”Just like the common saying, there's no point breaking a butterfly on upon a wheel. Just hand me the talisman order and I will calm down the wave of demon within three days.”
