Chapter 1663: Chapter 983: Together with You Chapter 1663: Chapter 983: Together with You Chapter 0983: To Be with You
The team selection proceeded swiftly, and in a blink of an eye, the vast majority had made their choices. To everyone’s surprise, they all, without prior agreent, chose Master Zhengyu, with not a single one opting for Qi Tian.
Without needing to ask, it was plain to see that their choice was entirely due to the apparent disparity. After all, Master Zhengyu had beco a Nascent Soul Master, a figure of imnse strength who would not compete with them for opportunities. Whereas Qi Tian, like them, was still at the peak of the Gold Core Realm. Should they encounter a chance for advancent, Qi Tian’s needs would be t first. If one opportunity wasn’t enough for him, then two would be given; if two were insufficient, then three, creating a bottomless pit of demands, possibly leaving teammates with no chances at all.
As for the respect Master Zhengyu showed Qi Tian on a daily basis, that was rely superficial. Qi Tian never directly contended with Zhengyu since the latter’s ascension to Nascent Soul Master—a reluctance possibly rooted in gratitude for Qi Tian ceding the opportunity to advance to Nascent Soul Master, not out of any real fear of Qi Tian.
Master Zhengyu was not only a Nascent Soul Master now but also possessed a Nascent Soul magical treasure, wielding enough power to move with impunity throughout the entire mystic realm. Seeking fortune with him seed like an easy catch, free from major problems or excessive risks.
Given such considerations, who would they choose if not Master Zhengyu over Qi Tian?
However, within the team, there were two who had yet to decide: Cheng Jianli and Gao Yuqiu.
Cheng Jianli had quite a presence in their small squad, but what choice she would make didn’t draw much concern from the others, whose attention was drawn more towards Gao Yuqiu. After all, Yuqiu was their squad leader and the reason their small squad could form. Her decision was sothing to look forward to.
Qi Tian, from beginning to end, remained calm, not showing any anger over being chosen by no one.
Gao Yuqiu found her gaze alternating between Qi Tian and Master Zhengyu, weighing her options. Before entering the mystic realm, her Master Dugu Bosi had expressly told her to keep Qi Tian by her side at all costs, not to let him go.
If she followed her Master’s command, obviously, she should choose to stay in the sa team as Qi Tian. However, the feeling Qi Tian gave her was too risky. Ti and ti again, reality had proven to her that she had no power to control him. Even if she stayed with Qi Tian, it was doubtful she could make him act according to her wishes.
On the other hand, she saw potential in Master Zhengyu.
For one, Zhengyu had always harbored affection for her. Even though there was now a gap in their cultivation realms, Yuqiu was confident that the affection remained, simply not as intense as before. Yet, when it mattered, this sentint could possibly surge, providing leverage she could use.
Moreover, now that Zhengyu had beco a Nascent Soul Master, he had reached a power level capable of challenging Qi Tian. Her Master wanted her to keep Qi Tian for his strength, and now Zhengyu was a suitable replacent.
If she could use her charm to influence Zhengyu’s decisions and cooperate with her, then she stood to gain imnsely. Such a partnership would bring incalculable benefits, both for herself and her Sect.
Conversely, if she attempted to wield her charm on Qi Tian, there was simply no chance of success, as reality had proven.
Another advantage of choosing Master Zhengyu was that the rest of the team had done so, too. She could sway these team mbers, who would beco her support. However, should she opt to join Qi Tian, she would have no connection with these team mbers.
Gao Yuqiu’s eyes flickered several tis before she finally clenched her teeth and said, “I’m sorry, Fellow Daoist Qi Tian. Thank you for your companionship along the way. I think our affinity ends here. This ti, I choose to stay with Master Zhengyu, and I implore your understanding.”
Qi Tian, unconcerned, waved his hand, saying, “I respect your choice. I hope that your ti with Master Zhengyu will be rewarding.”
After offering a casual blessing, Qi Tian’s gaze turned to Cheng Jianli, asking, “Now it’s only you left. What’s your decision? Here’s my suggestion: choose Master Zhengyu, like Fellow Daoist Yuqiu. That way, you can look out for each other in a larger group.”
However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Cheng Jianli decisively said, “Qi Tian, I choose to be with you.”
Qi Tian blinked and replied, “Are you out of your mind? What good can co from being with ?”
Cheng Jianli responded, “I don’t care. I just want to stay with you and team up with you. You said it yourself, let us make our own choices. This is my choice. You won’t go back on your word, will you?”
