Finally, the farce was over.
After understanding Qian Lian’s identity, just as Leng Shuang expected, Su Mo did not reject her. A talent like hers was indeed sothing he valued. Moreover, Qian Lian’s personality, although sowhat eccentric and unreliable at tis, was still acceptable to him.
At the very least, she was straightforward.
So straightforward that even her thoughts practically leaked out onto her face.
Although Qian Lian was still slightly disappointed that her brilliant "becoming Master Su’s daughter" plan had failed, becoming his subordinate was already acceptable enough.
As long as she could learn cultivation and obtain those magical powers, everything was worth it.
As for loyalty?
Oh, please.
She had already been willing to call him "Daddy" earlier.
Did she still need to prove her loyalty anymore?
anwhile, Su Mo looked at Qian Lian calmly and spoke:
"For now, join Shuang’s daily training routine."
"Your body is too weak."
"If you want to cultivate properly, your current physical condition is far from enough."
Su Mo could clearly see that Qian Lian’s physique was no different from that of an ordinary internet-addicted shut-in who had not exercised for years.
Pale skin. Weak stamina. Chaotic biological clock. Heavy vitamin dependence.
Her body condition was honestly terrible.
Without cheats, she still had a very long road ahead before officially stepping onto the cultivation path.
At least, Leng Shuang and Zhang Xulin’s cultivation paths clearly weren’t suitable for her current condition.
Still, Su Mo did not plan to invest heavily in her imdiately.
Talent alone wasn’t enough.
He still needed to observe her value and loyalty properly first.
Qian Lian, herself, clearly understood her own condition.
However, she did not complain. Instead, she nodded obediently.
"I’ll work hard, Master."
At this mont, she had already made up her mind. Since she had only just joined, she should behave properly first.
Then, as their relationship improves, she would carefully ask Master Su about her concerns.
After all, in her eyes, a mysterious person like Su Mo definitely had solutions to everything.
Su Mo continued calmly:
"After your body training begins, I also want you to help investigate so matters."
He glanced toward Leng Shuang.
"I’ll be leaving for several days soon. Those matters we discussed earlier, including the shipping routes..."
"I want a complete, detailed report by the ti I return."
"It’s not a problem, Master." Leng Shuang nodded imdiately.
"With Lian here, handling intelligence and investigation work will beco much easier."
The mont Qian Lian heard this, her eyes instantly lit up.
"Master!"
She imdiately raised her hand enthusiastically.
"Leave it to your Little Lian!"
"Intelligence gathering and investigation are my forte."
While speaking, her chest puffed proudly.
Leng Shuang silently stared at her strangely.
Honestly, she had known Qian Lian for many years already.
Yet she had never seen this woman act so eager to please soone before.
Just how excited was she about cultivation?
"Master, you are going out this ti. Is it to chase that guy? Do I need to prepare anything?"
Su Mo nodded lightly before speaking again. "Yes, this ti I’m heading toward the Frostspine Mountains. We already know the White Moon Sect’s approximate location. It shouldn’t take much longer before we discover the exact coordinates."
"Frostspine Mountains..." Leng Shuang quietly repeated the na. Then fell silent.
Actually, she also wanted to accompany him. However, she understood her current strength very clearly.
Even those rogue cultivators captured by Master previously. The weakest among them was still stronger than her.
With her current cultivation... What qualifications did she have to enter a place filled with cultivators? Wouldn’t she only beco a burden?
Thus, Leng Shuang ultimately suppressed her thoughts silently.
Instead, her resolve to beco stronger grew even firr.
Strong enough to one day stand beside her master and fight alongside him.
Su Mo noticed her slightly distracted expression and casually reminded:
"Also..."
"Stop referring to Ye Chen as ’him.’"
"She’s already a woman now."
"Have so basic respect, alright?"
Leng Shuang’s lips twitched slightly. Inside her heart, she complained:
’As expected of you, Master.’
Qian Lian seed to have caught another shocking piece of information from their conversation.
Her master is going to a place called White Moon Sect.
This place... Doesn’t it sound exactly like those cultivation sects in the novels?
OMG! I am so curious. I want to see it. I have to go. But how? How should I let Master take along as well?
Also, Ye Chen..? Isn’t he the King’s Palace Leader? Has he beco a woman now? Strange.
But she pushed that thought aside. Her focus was more on how to tag along with Master in his excursion.
She also knew she currently lacked qualifications.
Thus, Qian Lian imdiately began thinking seriously.
’How can I convince Master to take along later...?’
While thinking, her gaze subconsciously landed on Li i, who was also quietly staring back at her.
Qian Lian imdiately revealed a gentle smile toward the little girl.
After all, this child was her Master’s adopted daughter. Building good relations with her carried only advantages and no disadvantages.
What she didn’t know was that Li i was silently looking at Qian Lian with pity.
At this mont, in her innocent little mind, this strange elder sister clearly had sothing wrong with her brain.
Too pitiful.
Thus, Li i quietly took out a candy from her pocket.
Then tugged Qian Lian’s sleeve gently.
Qian Lian froze slightly.
"Hm?"
The next second—
A candy appeared before her.
"For you."
Li i spoke softly.
Qian Lian blinked.
Then imdiately accepted it with a bright smile.
"Thank you~"
Inside her mind:
’Hehe...’
’Even Master’s daughter likes already.’
’I rember Master also has a girlfriend.’
’As long as I gain both their favour...’
’My future path will beco limitless.’
Li i looked at Qian Lian, who suddenly started giggling after receiving a candy.
The pity in her eyes deepened further.
’Poor elder sister...’
’She beca this happy from just one candy.’
’Her life before this must’ve been really hard.’
