Chapter 1741: Grudge Against Her Family
“Sure, but not now. We can go there when there is a good time,” said Jing Yunyao.
Although with Shangguan Yang’s help, the Jing family wouldn’t be able to hurt them, they still wanted to take revenge on their own.
“When will there be a good time?” asked Shangguan Yang in a hurry. He always wanted to go to the cultivation world. If Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting could enter it, he would have asked them to take him there.
“Well, to be honest with you, I have a long-standing grudge against my family, so I’ll directly take revenge when I go back there. Master Shangguan, I know you’re at a very high level, and the Jing family won’t be able to hurt us with your help, but we want to take revenge on our own. Shaoting just became a cultivator. Although he’s talented, his level is still low, so I plan to wait till Shaoting has reached a high level,” said Jing Yunyao.
Although Jing Yunyao hoped that Leng Shaoting could reach above the Yuan Ying Period, she knew it was very difficult, and it would take a long time. After all, many talented cultivators had spent dozens of years on it.
Even though Leng Shaoting was more talented than other people, it could still take him years to reach a very high level. They might not be able to wait for such a long time, because their enemies might find them first. Anyway, no one knew what would happen in the future.
Actually, if they avoided their enemies on purpose and hid themselves in Kunlun Mountain, it was possible that no one could find them. However, it was impossible for them to hide themselves like that, because Leng Shaoting had his work to do. If he gave up his job to avoid other cultivators, it would be irresponsible.
Shangguan Yang nodded after hearing the reason, and had no intention to force them to take him there.
As for Jing Yunyao’s grudge against the Jing family, he didn’t ask about it either, because it was her own family affair. He was curious about many things, but he knew what he could ask and what he shouldn’t. Therefore, in order to change the topic, Shangguan Yang complained about Leng Shaoting. “He’s been too busy these days, and he doesn’t have much time for cultivation.”
Although he understood that Leng Shaoting had a very important job, he was still a little dissatisfied. As Leng Shaoting’s master, he wanted him to be the best. If Leng Shaoting could have an extraordinary achievement, it also proved his ability as his master. Unfortunately, Leng Shaoting was too busy to come back, and he sometimes wondered whether Leng Shaoting already forgot him. Only Gu Ning often called him and cared about him. He even had a feeling that Gu Ning was his disciple.
In fact, Leng Shaoting also called him, but not as often as Gu Ning. Leng Shaoting served in the army after all, and there were strict rules.
Thinking of Gu Ning, Shangguan Yang remembered that she also wanted to become a cultivator. If she succeeded, he would spare no effort to help her with her cultivation whether she wanted him to be her master or not. She was his disciple’s further wife after all, and wasn’t an outsider. In addition, he had a very good impression of Gu Ning.
“Our team has field training the day after tomorrow. It’ll last about three to five days. After training, if there are no unexpected tasks, I can rest for a week, then come back and concentrate on cultivation,” Leng Shaoting said.
Although he didn’t forget his cultivation in his daily life, it was different when Shangguan Yang taught him face to face. He made slow progress when he practiced alone, but he could make much quicker progress with Shangguan Yang’s help.
“If it’s possible, we can go back to the Kunlun Sect’s place together. There is thick magical power in the Universe Tower, and it’s very helpful for your cultivation. As for how much you can benefit from it, it depends on your talent,” said Shangguan Yang.
“Universe Tower?” Hearing that, Jing Yunyao was surprised. “Is it still the same?”
The Universe Tower was the treasure of the Kunlun Sect, a holy place for cultivation, because of the thick magical power inside and the actual practice of clearance illusions. Clearance illusions meant that there would be illusionary cultivators fighting against you. If you defeated this cultivator, you could pass the level, which was a proof of your ability. If you failed, you wouldn’t be able to go up to the upper level.
When you were hit in the illusions, the pain was real, but you wouldn’t really be hurt.
The Kunlun Sect was able to be the leading orthodox sect in the wulin that year and became the sect with the most masters not only because the Kunlun Sect was located in the holy land of magical power, which was of great benefit to cultivation, but also because of the Universe Tower, which was regarded as the best place for cultivation.
Many people wanted to go inside to cultivate that year, but only disciples of the Kunlun Sect were allowed to enter the tower. Even the disciples of the Kunlun Sect could only go in at the specified time, and couldn’t enter it as they like.
After all, there were over a thousand disciples in the Kunlun Sect, while only 10 people could be allowed to enter the Universe Tower at a time.
Even if the Universe Tower was empty, it was forbidden to sneak inside to cultivate, because there were formations. No matter who wanted to go inside, he or she had to be led by the tower guard.
If anyone insisted on breaking in, he or she wouldn’t even be able to open the door, just like what happened when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting had tried at that time.
As a result, even though outsiders were jealous, they could do nothing about it.
Many people were attracted by the magical power and the Universe Tower and wanted to join the Kunlun Sect, but the Kunlun Sect had a very high standard for its disciples. Not everyone would be accepted.
If anyone could be easily accepted, the Kunlun Sect would have tens of thousands instead of only over a thousand disciples.
“Yeah, it hasn’t changed much,” said Shangguan Yang.
Jing Yunyao hesitated for a while, then asked, “Master Shangguan, can I go with you?”
Although it wasn’t very likely, because she wasn’t a disciple of the Kunlun Sect and outsiders weren’t allowed to go in there according to the rule set by the Kunlun Sect, she was eager to improve her cultivation in order to take revenge earlier.
“Of course, the Kunlun Sect is different now, and there is no need for us to obey the old rules,” said Shangguan Yang. There were indeed many rules in the old time, but everything changed now, so they didn’t need to obey them nowadays. However, Shangguan Yang still wouldn’t allow strangers to go there.
“Thanks!” Jing Yunyao beamed when Shangguan Yang agreed.
After that, they casually chatted with each other. When it was almost 6 pm, Lao Zhang prepared dinner which they enjoyed together.
After having dinner, they took a rest for a while, and left at 8 pm.
Because Gu Ning had something else to deal with tonight, she didn’t go back with Leng Shaoting and Jing Yunyao. Instead, they got in their own cars and left separately.
