“Friend Xu, won’t you reconsider?!”
Seeing Xu Mu decisively refuse, Chi Feiyan couldn’t help but furrow her delicate eyebrows.
When the three major families joined forces to harvest several other great families which had lost the Foundation Establishment Stage, they originally planned to reap a windfall before they left.
After all, starting everything from scratch in a new place required additional resources, which would definitely be better for future growth.
As for the affection between sect members?
When the sect itself doesn’t exist anymore, what affection would remain?!
However, what they didn’t expect was their failed attempt to rob ended up costing them instead!
The seemingly modest Song family had an unexpectedly substantial wealth, not only hiding several Spirit Swords but also possessing the long-lost Divine Fire Sky Thunder Child.
Even though they eventually couldn’t escape destruction, the three major families also suffered backlash and enormous damage.
Their weakened strength forced them to abandon some of their people!
Xu Mu was originally one of those to be abandoned, but she pleaded with her father, Chi Yuan, and managed to keep him.
“No need! 1 won’t abandon my friends!”
Xu Mu shook his head.
Of course, this was pure nonsense!
The actual reason was, he had just overheard other people’s conversations while walking through the crowd, realizing that the three departing families, apart from the Chi family and Lv family, included the Luo family, which he least wished to face.
At that moment, Xu Mu had already started to hesitate whether to accompany the Chi family.
Now that Chi Feiyan is putting on this act, he decided to just jump at the chance to decline.
Considering the distance and danger of the journey, they’d probably have to travel for a month or two. In case he exposes his Fire Skill and swordsmanship while defending against hazards, he might draw the Luo family’s attention, and who knows what would happen then.
Living under scrutiny and suspicion, he truly didn’t feel safe!
“Friend Xu, thank you for your care over this period. Ning’er and 1 are not fragile and helpless, you should go with Yingying and the others!”
Lan Shijin struggled internally for a moment before finally speaking.
“My mind is made up! Friend Lan, don’t bother to persuade me!”
Xu Mu shook his head again, his stance firm.
“He can’t appreciate kindness!”
A cold voice retorted from behind Chi Feiyan, but when she gave him a glance, he turned his head away disdainfully.
“Friend Xu, don’t mind his rudeness!”
“Friend Chi, you’re too kind!”
Xu Mu didn’t take it to heart.
“Friend Xu, the journey from here to Liyang Sect is extremely dangerous. Without the protection of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, you won’t likely make it. 1 plead endlessly with my father for this opportunity, it’s a pity if you give up so easily!”
Chi Feiyan desperately tried to persuade him again.
She valued Xu Mu’s alchemy talent quite a bit.
Xu Mu smiled and replied, “Friend Chi, your kindness is appreciated, but I have my own plans and do not wish to bother you!”
“Alright then!”
Seeing she couldn’t convince Xu Mu, she didn’t say anything further.
She believed that she had already done all she could out of kindness.
“Friend Chi, 1 have an unkind request, 1 wonder if you could agree to it?”
“Hmph!”
Chi Feiyan’s guard couldn’t help but snort disdainfully again.
“What is it, Friend Xu?
Chi Feiyan, however, was still courteous.
“I would like to buy a map to Liyang Sect from you!
“Sure, okay!”
Chi Feiyan hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.
Finally, she returned to her family’s camp and fetched a beast skin map from someone.
“Thank you, Friend Chi! How many Spirit Stones do I owe you?”
Xu Mu took the map, his face lighting up with joy.
“No need for Spirit Stones! The map’s not worth much, consider it a gift for your travels!” said Chi Feiyan magnanimously.
“Thank you so much! 1 certainly will return the favor should the opportunity arise!”
Xu Mu took his leave with the three women.
“Return the favor? Hmph! 1 reckon we’d be waiting till our next life!”
The guard couldn’t help but mock again.
This time, Chi Feiyan didn’t say anything.
“Miss, why do you treat him so kindly? He’s just an ordinary tier two alchemist!” questioned another guard.
“There are things you don’t understand!”
Aside from valuing his talent, the other reason for her kind treatment was the toxin afflicting their family’s elder which only the Jade Marrow Pill could temper, although they managed to loot quite a few, having an extra alchemist capable of creating Jade Marrow Pill as a backup wasn’t a bad idea.
If he didn’t want to, she wouldn’t waste her breath.
A worthless map also served to maintain a good relationship!
In truth, she was quite impressed with Xu Mu’s actions at a deep level, despite her rational self thinking it foolish!
“Let’s not talk about this, let’s go back! Let’s see if we can recruit a couple of Loose Cultivators in the late stage of Qi Cultivation to join us!”
Chi Feiyan, not explaining much, took her two companions back to their family’s group.
“Feiyan, where’s the alchemist you recruited?”
Chi Yuan, the head of the Chi family, who had been discussing matters with the other two families with a longsword on his back, asked Chi Feiyan as she approached.
