Chapter 1664: Chapter 983: Together with You_2 Chapter 1664: Chapter 983: Together with You_2 Qi Tian raised his eyebrows slightly; he had imagined various scenarios but had never expected soone to choose to stay with him. He shook his head and said, “Fine, since you’ve made your choice, make sure you don’t regret it. Alright, everyone has regrouped, Master Zhengyu, I’m heading in that direction, we shall et again.”
Xiu Zhengyu quickly clasped his hands towards Qi Tian and said, “I’m here wishing that Sir may seize nurous opportunities in this great competition, enough to even make the Holy Land’s connected parties bow down before you.”
Qi Tian laughed heartily and said, “I’ll take your auspicious words. Alright, let us part ways here. I’m off.”
Qi Tian casually waved at Xiu Zhengyu and Gao Yuqiu, then released his flying sword, jumped onto it, soared into the air, and flew into the distance.
Cheng Jianli hurriedly released her flying sword and, in a frenzied manner, followed behind Qi Tian, leaving together.
Once Qi Tian left, he never looked back. His flying speed wasn’t fast, but it still left Cheng Jianli sowhat disheveled in her attempts to keep up.
As a female cultivator, Cheng Jianli wasn’t particularly skilled in this regard; however, she clenched her teeth and desperately kept up with Qi Tian, fearing that he would leave her behind. Since she had already made her choice, teaming up with others would now be difficult. If Qi Tian didn’t want her, she would have to navigate the secret realm alone, and she was all too aware of the dangers that would entail.
Qi Tian continued flying for about half a day before finally stopping. He landed on the ground and casually chose a spot to sit cross-legged.
It took a while, but Cheng Jianli finally managed to catch up, driving her flying sword while gasping for air. This half-day’s flight was undoubtedly a huge challenge for her; she had never flown this fast even in previous battles alongside Qi Tian and Gao Yuqiu.
Cheng Jianli landed next to Qi Tian, took a few breaths, and then started taking out items from her Storage Bag, which were Spirit Fruits commonly consud by cultivators of their level. She ticulously selected so and respectfully presented them to Qi Tian.
Qi Tian glanced at Cheng Jianli, and she felt as though her entire being was transparent under his gaze; she quickly lowered her head.
Qi Tian pointed to the ground opposite him and said, “Sit down, I have sothing to ask you.”
Without daring to say anything, Cheng Jianli imdiately followed Qi Tian’s instruction and knelt across from him, maintaining an exceedingly submissive deanor throughout, as if she were facing an elder, careful not to make any mistakes in her behavior.
Qi Tian said, “Tell the truth, why did you choose to stay with ? Don’t tell you don’t know the benefits of staying with Master Zhengyu.”
Cheng Jianli looked directly at Qi Tian, trying to make her eyes appear more sincere, and said, “I want to beco a Nascent Soul Master. I know that being with Master Zhengyu might offer an opportunity, but it’s a very slim chance, hardly ever reaching my turn. However, if I choose to follow you, Sir, I feel the chance would be much larger. I even have a feeling that not only would you grant opportunities, but with your help, I could successfully ascend to Nascent Soul Master, just like Master Zhengyu.”
Qi Tian nodded and said, “You are indeed frank.”
Cheng Jianli said, “Please grant this opportunity, Sir.”
Qi Tian’s lips curled into a small smile and said, “I can give you the opportunity, but what can you give in return? You wouldn’t be thinking of marrying and becoming a cultivation couple, would you?”
Cheng Jianli spoke, “That was because I didn’t know the extent of your abilities, Sir, and uttered so reckless words, so please do not take them to heart. I still rember that you said if I wanted the opportunity granted by you, we would need to serve you diligently. At the ti, I felt it was not worth it, but now I have seen clearly that you indeed possess great skills and divine powers. Since you were able to help Xiu Zhengyu beco a Nascent Soul Master, you can certainly help beco one too. For this reason, I am now willing to agree to the conditions you proposed initially. As long as you can help beco a Nascent Soul Master, these over a hundred pounds of mine are entirely at your disposal. You decide how many years it’s appropriate for to serve you diligently, and I can agree.”
“You need to think it over carefully. I’m not concerned about promises you make to others and whether you can fulfill them, but if you make a promise in front of and later want to go back on your word, there will be no opportunity to do so, and the consequences of reneging will absolutely be more than you can bear. Are you sure you still want to say this?”
Cheng Jianli bent over and knelt in front of Qi Tian, saying, “I have thought it through and will not go back on my word. Please grant your favor and give an opportunity to beco a Nascent Soul Master too.”
Qi Tian said, “You really don’t need to rush this decision. You are still young and will have many more opportunities to reach the Nascent Soul Stage in the future. You are giving up those chances now in exchange for freedom, and you might regret it later.”
Maintaining her kneeling posture, Cheng Jianli said, “I know my own situation best. If it weren’t for the ti I spent in the secret realm, I might still believe that I could definitely beco a Nascent Soul Master on my own in the future. But now, I won’t hold on to such illusions. I’ve clearly realized that the chance of advancing on my own is almost non-existent. I don’t want to waste hundreds of years of my life hoping for that one in ten thousand chance. Instead of enduring despair again and again in the future, it’s better to bypass that despair right now and accept the outco I long for. I’ve thought it over thoroughly. This is the best outco for —I not only get to beco a Nascent Soul Master but also have the opportunity to follow a powerful figure like you. I’ve gained a lot, and it’s a huge win.”
While Cheng Jianli was saying this, Qi Tian was using the Heavenly Dao Engine’s detection function to monitor her closely. From start to finish, he didn’t sense anything abnormal from her, aning that her words were genuine and heartfelt, not just to please him.
Qi Tian nodded and said, “Alright, since you are so sincere, I will give you an opportunity.”
Cheng Jianli raised her head, her eyes filled with surprise. She hadn’t expected Qi Tian to agree to her request so easily.
“Don’t you need to test a few more tis?”
Qi Tian chuckled and said, “Weren’t the words you just said heartfelt? Or do you plan to deny them once you succeed in becoming a Nascent Soul Master?”
Cheng Jianli quickly shook her head and said, “Of course, they are heartfelt, truer than true gold.”
Qi Tian laughed and said, “Then that’s settled. Why test further? It’s purely a waste of ti. But I must remind you one last ti: once you make this decision and accept my favor, you will have no space to regret it later. Are you really sure you want to do this?”
Cheng Jianli nodded firmly and said, “Sir, if you are afraid I might renege, you can implant sothing in to ensure I won’t. Just don’t turn into an Immortal Slave. I don’t mind any other thods.”
Qi Tian showed a gratified smile and said, “Your words are enough. I’ll forego placing any asures in you. After all, I already made it very clear, and since I dare let you beco a Nascent Soul Master, I’m not afraid of you reneging.”
Cheng Jianli knelt once more before Qi Tian and said, “Thank you, Sir, for giving this opportunity.”
Qi Tian flipped his wrist, and his hand now held a few items—a Fruit of Infant that nearly cost Xiu Zhengyu his life and a Dragon Eel he had secretly snatched from the lake.
He handed the Fruit of Infant directly to Cheng Jianli and said, “Keep this Fruit of Infant for use during your tribulation. As for this Dragon Eel, I will prepare it for you, brewing you a pot of fish soup. Later, drink it all to strengthen your foundation. Once your foundation is solid again, we will undertake the tribulation.”
