Chapter 121: I have half a Fasting Pill, do you want it? (2/2)

“Did you guess my ident.i.ty? Did Ah Qi request everyone on the group to help him?” Ah s.h.i.+lu suddenly asked. If this man was a new member of the Nine Provinces Number One group, then he would likely have guessed her ident.i.ty already.

“…” Song Shuhang’s face went stiff, trying to decide whether to fob her off with a white lie.

“No need to deny it. You’re definitely not suited to lie. Your expression has already told me the answer.” Ah s.h.i.+lu sighed.

“…” Miss, you’re not Zhou Yaya alright? Don’t just casually guess the correct answer from someone’s expression! It’s so rude! I’ll have no more face if you do this!

“Will you say that I’m here to Ah Qi?” Ah s.h.i.+lu wrapped her arms around her knees, asking softly.

“…” Probably?

“Someone as rottenly good as you, will definitely tell Ah Qi.” Ah s.h.i.+lu answered her own question.

If you’re going to say everything I have to say, what do I get to say?

The two sides quietened down

After a while without words…

In the end it was Song Shuhang who broke the silence, asking, “Why did you run away from the Su Clan? Wouldn’t you be able to get a better treatment at the Su Clan?”

He remembered that on the day of the Heavenly Tribulation, Su Clan’s Ah Qi had said on the group that Ah s.h.i.+lu had only suffered some slight wounds, which could be recovered when she went back to the clan. If that was so, why did she run away? And why did she have to regularly get injections?

“Because, I’m about to die…In about twenty days, I will die.” Ah s.h.i.+lu said peacefully, she hugged her knees. “Su Clan records have no methods to save me. Ah Qi also can’t. My injuries aren’t just from the Heavenly Tribulation, but also some cultivation deviation I had before. This time’s Heavenly Tribulation just worsened my previous injuries.”

“Let’s change this topic. I hate this topic.” Ah s.h.i.+lu suddenly stopped explaining. “Yu may my name already. My name is Ah s.h.i.+lu. This is also my Daoist t.i.tle. What about you? You haven’t introduced yourself to me yet.”

“Song Shuhang.”

“Daoist t.i.tle?” Ah s.h.i.+lu asked.

“Daoist t.i.tle… I don’t have one temporarily. I’ll think about it in a few days?” Song Shuhang sighed. This had to be quickly settled. Or else once all the seniors recognised him as Great Pressure of Mt Books, it’ll be hard to make them change it.

“You’ll think of it yourself? Which senior in the group are you apprenticing under? Your master isn’t giving you your Daoist t.i.tle?” Ah s.h.i.+lu asked suspiciously. Formally accepted disciples would always be given their Daoist t.i.tles.

And for a disciple that would be introduced to the Nine Provinces Number One group, it must be one greatly favoured by that senior. How could he have no Daoist t.i.tle?

“About that, the process I joined the Nine Provinces Number One group with was rather…coincidental.” Song Shuhang scratched his head, and began to narrate how he had joined the group to Ah s.h.i.+lu.

Song Shuhang quietly explained, and Ah s.h.i.+lu hugged her knees as she listened quietly.

It’s roughly something like that.” Song Shuhang shrugged his shoulders, saying.

“You…chose yourself to be a cultivator?” Ah s.h.i.+lu looked at Song Shuhang. “Could you not be aware of the dangers? Like, the Heavenly Tribulation I met, and much more! There are uncountable dangers!”

“I know. When I chose to be a cultivator I already knew about the Heavenly Tribulation you met. Actually, I even witnessed that Heavenly Tribulation lightning that formed.” Song Shuhang said calmly.

“The why did you choose to become a cultivator?” Ah s.h.i.+lu opened her eyes wide, staring at Song Shuhang.

“Why?” Song Shuhang thought about it. He answered, “Perhaps, I wasn’t satisfied with living this life ordinarily.”

“Before becoming a cultivator, the only thing that made me happy in this world, was to put my all into helping people. If I didn’t meet the Nine Provinces Number One group, perhaps I’ll live an ordinary life like normal people. But, that is not the life I want…I don’t have much ambitions, but I like a magnificent and exciting life. Even if there are the terrifying Lightning Tribulations, even if there are the calamities brought forth from evil cultivators, I will never ever regret my choice.”

Song Shuhang realised he was unable to use any appropriate phrases to describe what he felt. All he wanted to express was that the path of cultivation was one he would never regret!

Ah s.h.i.+lu rolled her eyes. “I suddenly feel that there is something very off about you when you act pa.s.sionate. But…it’s quite interesting. Prepare, we’re about to leave.”

Her pain from her injuries had subsided even earlier. Now, her body had acc.u.mulated some small amounts of True Qi, enough to deal with the Immortal Farming Sect Uncle!
