As they talked a little further, the first of the two people concentrating on learning the technique to open her eyes was Wei Lan, as soone more experienced she was considerably faster to successfully conceal her cultivation. Cao Xiang took a little longer but eventually succeeded as well.
"It is good to see that you have managed to do it, but your disguise is still not perfect. As expected, without Mingyu here the way I teach is limited in its effectiveness"
Wu Long nodded and then chuckled as he never had a problem with teaching anyone since he rarely had an impulse to do so in the first place. But once he actually cared it proved much more difficult, and involved far more than just knowing how to do sothing to relay it to others.
"It's okay, Mingyu is not far, you will be going to get her soon, right?"
Wu ngqi smiled seeing the slight vexation on his face, a rare sight for others but quite nostalgic for her. Unexpectedly, Wu Long raised his eyebrow at her words.
"Hm? You're not going with ?"
'It backfired! I should've just kept quiet!'
"Eh? Ahaha, well... you said it yourself, this period of peace is no longer as stable, so having more people to secure the sect might be better, plus I am sure there will be a lot of preparations with so many things going on around here..."
The beauty's dry laugh with a look to the side made others narrow their eyes, with so of them realizing sothing and beginning to smile. It was definitely unusual for soone so eager to go with him to the capital to suddenly want to remain in the sect.
'Hah, so you're going to stretch out eting Ling'er as much as possible, huh?'
Wu Long chuckled as he saw the blue-eyed beauty shift her eyes from side to side, avoiding his gaze.
Sui Luxiao and Bi Rui who have yet to know the circumstances could only curiously look at the others until Cao i winked at them with a giggle, signaling a promise to explain it later.
"Then, are you going to the Fantian Kingdom soon?"
Wei Lan shifted the topic for which Wu ngqi gave her a grateful look.
"Yes, tomorrow or the day after at the latest... we have to make it in ti to join the Winter Forest Hunt, and there are a lot of things to do, not to ntion I planned on visiting Tingren Kingdom as well"
"Tingren Kingdom? Did you leave unfinished business there last ti?"
"Sort of, or more precisely I have new business there"
He smiled.
"Is it about the remaining Lust Cultivators? If I rember correctly, Sister Shen Min wanted to hunt them down..."
Wu ngqi chid in when she rembered the last conversation about Tingren Kingdom before they departed to the capital.
"Hmm, that too but to be honest it is not high on the list of priorities, as they have nowhere to run, they can only hide until the ti cos when we have ti for them"
Wu Long traced his chin in a thinking gesture and Wei Lan nodded along.
"If the Lust Cultivators there are still connected to the ones who were behind the Supre Master Pavilion it might be wiser to not touch them for now"
"I agree, in this environnt, any move can beco the spark that starts the fire, so acting with caution should be better. It is the sa reason why I think freeing Liugwei Kingdom from the usurpers should wait as well, even if I am a little impatient about it"
Cao Xiang sighed as she agreed with the Grand Elder.
"Don't worry, once the conflict starts in full there would be nothing stopping us from liberating your country, Xiang'er"
Wu Long ensured the forr Pirate Queen.
"I know, I trust you"
"But, why not just start the conflict already? It seems more like your style of doing things, simple and straightforward..."
Cao i asked as she saw that Wu Long was acting this cautiously only toward this particular problem. It was a stark contrast to his usual way of pushing through whatever problems by blunt force.
"Hmm, I may have given you the wrong impression, but I am not strong enough yet to handle it in a safe way"
Wu Long chuckled.
"Eh? You're not?"
Both Cao i and Bi Rui asked out loud while the others only showed surprise silently. It was the first ti that he openly admit inability to deal with an opponent.
"Haha, of course not. Why on earth would I waste ti on them otherwise?
The reason I could act with impunity up until now is not because the other side does not have enough strength to deal with , but because the strength they can currently deploy without becoming vulnerable to other people of the sa circle like the Song Family is not enough to deal with .
Their political and tactical restraint were simply part of the consideration I had for my movents.
In other words, if the other side seriously went in for a kill with all of what they have got, I hardly would have survived. But since I knew that they could not make such a rushed move, there was no reason for to be cautious"
Wu Long chuckled at the surprised faces of the won around him and shrugged his shoulders.
"Though of course, I am talking about the ti before departing for the Wood Spirit Continent. Now... well, even if I may not be able to deal with them in a desirable way, I have the ans to gamble and possibly co out on top, and as the ti goes the chances of my win only rise"
He then smiled, reassuring them since he now was far more powerful than he even thought he would beco by this point. Though it was still not enough to comfortably deal with his opponents.
"Hmm, and the recent unexpected improvent in Spiritual Qi made this balance unstable, which is why you are being more cautious than ever..."
"Exactly"
Sui Luxiao caressed her delicate chin in thought and he nodded with a smile.
"I don't think I need to emphasize this, but this information should never leave this room, as any other information Wu Long tells only us"
Wei Lan said just in case and the others nodded with serious faces, as this was quite a huge piece of information, since part of the other side's reluctance was the uncertainty in Wu Long's personal strength.
This made them feel the gravity of the situation and how important it was to maintain this suddenly fragile calm before the storm.
At the sa ti, the beauties around him felt a warm and fuzzy feeling since telling them this information that left him at least a little vulnerable showed his trust toward them, as well as was a confirmation of sorts about his feelings toward them.
Wu Long smiled at the sight of the gorgeous faces around him turning rosy and shy.
'Haha, how cute'
