"Matters of the heart cannot be forced. Group Leader Hua should not do such childish things in the future. If I really had to take action just now, you would already be dead."
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "It’s late at night. You should go back. I have things to do tomorrow, so I can’t spend more ti with you."
"Young Master Ling, I can go back, but besides my own intentions, I also co with a task from my sister."
Suddenly, Hua Lueying spoke in a serious tone.
"Oh? Your sister has sothing to find for?"
"Yes, my sister hopes that you can join our Twin Flowers Pirate Group."
Hua Lueying replied.
"I have no interest in being a pirate."
Ling Xiao shook his head and directly refused.
After all, he was the Dragon King of the Phoenix God Empire and the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty; how could he join pirates?
"Young Master Ling, perhaps you look down on our Twin Flowers Pirate Group, but you might not know that in the Mysterious World, the ocean covers nearly seventy percent of the area, with only a little over thirty percent being land. The power of the forces on the oceans is far stronger than you imagine.
Joining our Twin Flowers Pirate Group, you will definitely witness a brand-new world."
Hua Lueying continued to persuade.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao fell into deep thought for a mont.
Hua Lueying’s words he believed; if the Twin Flowers Pirate Group did not have a powerful force behind them, it would be very difficult for them to thrive in this area.
Especially since there are other pirate groups near Cri City that are close to their strength level.
Such as the notorious One-eyed Pirate Group.
The head of this pirate group, One-eyed, is also extrely strong, although not as much as Hua Fuguang, but much stronger than Hua Lueying.
"Sorry, I’m not interested in whatever powerful force is behind you, and of course, I appreciate your kindness. We can be friends, but I have no intention of joining you."
Ling Xiao’s stance was clear.
Joining an unknown powerful force also involves taking unknown risks, which for him, is not worth it.
He dislikes such feelings.
"Young Master Ling, I still hope that you will carefully consider it."
Hua Lueying said earnestly, "By joining us, you can gain the extensive cultivation resources you previously lacked, including pills, martial arts, and so on.
You can also receive the protection of the powerful force behind us; not to ntion here, even across the entire Divine Phoenix Continent, no one would dare to easily offend you."
"The conditions are indeed generous, but I really have no interest. Group Leader Hua, please return and convey my thoughts directly to your sister."
Ling Xiao said indifferently, "And this so-called powerful force behind you is too insincere. If they wanted to join, why didn’t they co to invite themselves, but sent you instead?"
Hua Lueying didn’t know how to respond. Should she say that the mighty force behind them actually had no interest in Ling Xiao at all?
Was it just them, the sisters, who thought Ling Xiao had great potential and decided on their own to invite him?
However, she still sowhat didn’t understand why Ling Xiao was uninterested in pills and martial arts.
She didn’t know that after receiving help from the King of People, Ling Xiao already had a systematic thod of cultivation and did not need external martial arts to interfere.
As for the pills, he was a powerful Alchemist, why would he need to rely on others?
This man detests being bound by others, especially by an unknown powerful force, feeling as if he was being pen up, which was unbearable.
"Young Master Ling, in words you might not like, the powerful force behind us has never seriously considered you. It’s just that my sister and I think you have potential, so we ca to invite you. If you miss this opportunity, it might be hard for you to join this force even if you want to in the future,"
Hua Lueying cautioned.
"Heh, there’s no powerful force in this world that can make , Ling Xiao, plead to join."
Ling Xiao gave a faint smile.
If it had been before he joined the Moon Hua Sect, he might have considered it, but having experienced so much, he already has everything he needs, and there’s simply no necessity to rely on any major force. So now, he decidedly won’t do such a thing.
"You are too conceited."
Hua Lueying sighed and said, "You might not know, but you’ve already been marked by soone. If the Gluttonous Martial Soul had ended up with the Black Python Clan, likely nobody would dare say anything, but now that it’s in your hands, it might not be the case."
"Thank you, Captain Hua, for the reminder, I am well aware."
Would Ling Xiao be afraid?
He is not even afraid of the Black Python Clan, so why would he fear soone who would be wary of them?
"Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. Young Master Ling, please think carefully. I’ve been staying in the Black Wind Building in Cri City these past few days. If you figure it out, you can contact anyti. Goodbye."
Hua Lueying could see that Ling Xiao was very stubborn and determined; to try to threaten him with sothing is almost an impossible task.
She didn’t want to press too hard, so she chose the right mont to take her leave.
"I’ll walk you out. You probably don’t know, but when you entered this house, you were already being watched. It won’t be easy for you to leave alone."
Ling Xiao stood up and said.
"Impossible, I was very careful when I ca in."
Hua Lueying said.
"Then you can give it a try."
Ling Xiao smiled faintly.
Hua Lueying hesitated for a mont, then leapt out swiftly, but after a short while, she returned, looking sowhat embarrassed.
"Hehe, now you believe it, right? Next ti you co to see , you can just enter through the front door, to prevent others from treating you like an assassin."
Ling Xiao smiled and walked ahead.
Hua Lueying followed behind him, and only then did they successfully leave Princess Emma Ya Cloud’s residence.
"Thank you, Young Master Ling, for seeing out, I will be going now."
Hua Lueying was confronted with continuous blows tonight, no longer having the arrogance she had when she arrived.
"Hmm, be careful on your way."
Ling Xiao watched as Hua Lueying left.
He then turned and entered through the door.
As Hua Lueying turned a corner on the street, there was a small stall lit by an oil lamp selling foods like wontons under the cover of night.
This is not unusual; many retired Martial Artists from Jianghu like doing this kind of thing here in Cri City.
They are tired of the strife in Jianghu and treat such tasks as a delight.
At the wonton stall, a woman is sitting who looks strikingly similar to Hua Lueying but appears more mature and composed.
She is dressed in armor, heroic and distinguished, clearly soone often engaged in fights.
Despite the occasional wicked gazes thrown her way on the street, the sight of the woman scares them into quickly avoiding her.
The leader of the Twin Flowers Pirate Group, Hua Fuguang, is a woman who kills without blinking; even in Cri City, not many dare to provoke her.
"Sister, I’ve really lost face this ti."
Hua Lueying sat beside Hua Fuguang, sketching out a lovely scene in the night.
The two are twins, both exceedingly beautiful; they truly are a delight for the eyes.
