Chapter 503: Chapter 470 Selection_1
“Sister Mo! What do we do now?”
Not long after Yan Ruoxi left, Su Luan came in with Xu Tiantian, her face full of worry.
“Master, did Sister Yan pressure you again? How despicable!” Xu Tiantian said frostily.
She was usually a cheerful person, but she couldn’t bear her dislike for Yan Ruoxi, a backstabber.
“Tian Tian, watch your words. Regardless, she is your elder. Furthermore, she is doing this for the sect, not out of selfishness,” Mo Wuxin reproached.
“If she truly has the sect’s best interest at heart, why would she force you to become Dao companions with San Jue? Everyone knows his intentions lie in using you to break through his cultivation level!”
Xu Tiantian unusually showed a face filled with anger.
Mo Wuxin helplessly shook her head, not bothering to refute.
At this point, whether Yan Ruoxi was acting out of selfishness or for the sect wasn’t important. What mattered was how to deal with the upcoming situation.
“Sister Mo, what if we just run away? Our late husband left us plenty of lifesaving measures. If we scatter, he might not be able to catch us,” Su Luan suggested.
A bitter smile surfaced on Mo Wuxin’s face.
If they only had to deal with an ordinary Nascent Soul Loose Cultivator, she would not hesitate to put up a fight using the many means left behind by Xu Mu.
Now, however, they were facing the Big Palace Master of the Four Seas Immortal Palace. The power of the palace was daunting, and unless they fled to the Outer Sea under the protection of someone in the Nascent Soul Stage in a very short time, they would find nowhere to hide.
Why wouldn’t those who have offended the three major forces, like the evil, demon, and robber cultivators, stay in the Inner Sea? Was it because they didn’t want to?
It was because they couldn’t.
These loners could barely survive by hiding in dark corners, let alone a large group like them. Where could they hide?
“Tian Yi is still in their hands. If we run, her chances of survival are slim,” Mo Wuxin said.
Xu Mu didn’t tell Mo Wuxin about Xu Tian Yi’s identity, but anyone can tell from her name that she shares a close relationship with Xu Mu. Naturally, Su Luan knew this too.
If they really abandoned her, even if they could justify themselves, it wouldn’t sit well with Xu Mu.
Moreover, it wasn’t just the two of them now. There was Xu Tiantian, Xu Tianmei, Xu Tianlei, Xu Tianzhen, even the youngest Xu Tianchi, not to mention their many disciples.
Now they were truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.
“But if we continue to drag this out, our chance to escape will dwindle. Sister Yan has already won over many disciples in private. The sect is like a sieve now. Any small disturbance will be detected by outsiders!” Su Luan argued, “Sister, you’re not really going to agree, are you?”
“Even if I did agree, it wouldn’t change the outcome. I haven’t had much interaction with San Jue, but my master knows him well. He said that if San Jue chooses to act, he will make sure there are no loose ends,” Mo Wuxin replied.
This was why she chose not to agree. If she stood a chance to help everyone by sacrificing herself, she just might do it.
Since it was a dead-end either way, she wasn’t going to let San Jue take advantage of her.
“In that case, what are we hesitating for? If our husband blames us later, let’s just say that it was my decision,” Su Luan proposed with a pained expression.
Compared to Mo Wuxin, her attachment to Xu Tian Yi was much stronger.
When Nangong Suyi gave birth to Xu Tian Yi and chose to enter a period of isolation, Su Luan took over her care. Su Luan wasn’t fond of handling miscellaneous matters and spent most of her time caring for the child. After a long period of care, it felt as if there was no difference between Xu Tian Yi and her own child.
