Chapter 1347: Chapter 639: The Will of Chengyuan Chapter 1347: Chapter 639: The Will of Chengyuan If it were before, Tang Luo would never join in the hustle of a spring outing, but now he has a wife, doesn’t he?
Any relationship needs to be nurtured, even the deepest love between kin. Without spending ti together, they are likely to drift apart eventually.
The so-called love of one’s life isn’t about marrying a beauty and locking her away at ho, letting her wither away in solitude.
If you can’t even be together, then what’s the point of talking about love? In this respect, Tang Luo’s father, Tang Sen, was a role model for him.
He also understood that a true master of love isn’t a playboy who deceives a woman in a short ti, but a man who can truly make a woman fall deeper in love as she basks in happiness.
If he’s not there for the spring outing, the sumr festival, the moon-viewing, or even the Spring Festival, if Yun Xiu is still to love him, she would really have to brainwash herself with “Charming Eyes.”
But is a relationship that needs self-brainwashing to maintain really worth it?
So, even if one is truly busy, one must not shortchange family ti because without companionship, there is no affection.
Sharing a smile with Yun Xiu, Tang Luo cheerfully announced to the people disembarking, “Knowing that you’re bringing quite the entourage for this spring outing, I arranged for ten horses that can go up the mountain in advance. I imagine it will be enough to take us to the northern side of the mountain. That area is the forbidden land of Aran Mountain, which has been untrodden since the flood. I suspect it must have nurtured countless exotic flowers and plants, sure to delight my juniors!”
Thank the era that lacked entertainnt options. Even looking at flowers and plants could make the noblewon of great clans burst into delighted laughter.
The group entered the largest horse cart reserved for them, laughing and chattering as they set off into the mountain.
The ladies’ group ward up to Yun Xiu quickly after accepting her, as if won are born with the ability to chat with others of their gender. In no ti, they had blended in harmony.
But the things they talked about, Tang Luo couldn’t comprehend a single word, and when strung together, it made even less sense to him.
What’s the difference between the silk of Lanshan City and that of Jiejiang City? Don’t they both tear easily?
Aren’t all these silk gowns red? How could they possibly be made of several different pieces stitched together?
All sorts of perfus and scents mixed together—my sensitive nose can barely distinguish them anymore—but here you are, sniffing around pretentiously and showering each other with praises. Who are you fooling?
And then there’s the rouge, face powder, jewelry. Won are indeed shallow!
While his mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, his face maintained a serene smile, and he even uttered sounds of agreent like “Mmm, right, exactly, so that’s how it is,” as the won chatted.
This, of course, wasn’t hypocrisy but politeness!
After all, belittling sothing one doesn’t understand is foolish.
As he listened to the won categorically discuss their topics like experts, Tang Luo also gained so insight.
‘No wonder Xiehe never produced a martial saint. These won’s pursuit in cultivation is far too impure. They want to be powerful and beautiful, retain eternal youth, fear getting hurt, and even spend their leisure ti dressing up and choosing costics. How can they expect to achieve anything substantial with this mindset!’
Bored, Tang Luo glanced out of the corner of his eye at Xu Chengyuan sitting upright but looking uncomfortable, and finally found so sense of superiority.
At least I can still play the straight man with my ‘hmm,’ ‘ah,’ ‘alas,’ and ‘yes,’ but this lad has gone completely stiff.
It seems he has never experienced such a fervent discussion among four or five won before; truly pitiable.
Moved by sympathy for his future brother-in-law, Tang Luo, in a rare act of kindness, used his ability to transmit his voice in a low bell-like tone, whispering, “Now that you’ve reached the ‘unity of spirit and intent’ in your cultivation, have you thought about your next move?”
The sudden low male voice ringing in his ears made the tense Xu Chengyuan’s heart skip a beat, and after he had processed the words, he pretended to be calm and replied through voice transmission, “My next step will be to join the Divine Sword Army for further experience.”
“Join the military, huh?” Tang Luo paused, then asked, “Once you’ve joined the Divine Sword Army, will you still be able to move freely?”
“Following the army ans obeying commands and prohibitions, but at the Sword Sect or as a commander, I will have so freedom.”
Thinking that Tang Luo was rely curious about the Divine Sword Army, Xu Chengyuan didn’t conceal these publicly known details.
But having listened to Xu Chengyuan’s words, Tang Luo beca sowhat anxious. Indeed, without awakened bloodline, this kid, even with uncommon talents, would need twenty years to cultivate to the Fierce Realm, which ant before turning forty, he would be following the army. That would imply that his little sister’s main marital life would be spent waiting for her husband’s return, and that was unacceptable!
“Cough… Could you tell why you want to join the Divine Sword Army?”
“If Yuanzhou is seen as the country of sword cultivators, then the Divine Sword Army is where the Xu Clan’s most elite swordsn gather.”
With yearning and determination in his eyes, Xu Chengyuan said, “Chengyuan has cultivated the Five Absolute Divine Swords to the realm of the sword; beyond this point, progress requires painstaking effort. The Divine Sword Army has countless predecessors of sword cultivation from our clan, as well as profound inheritances of swordsmanship. My heart longs for them.”
As a youth who was sent to a Sword Sect at a young age because his family lacked the resources for his upbringing, Xu Chengyuan matured early and understood the importance of resources.
Therefore, he made career plans early on, and joining the Divine Sword Army is the best pathway to climb the ranks for soone of his background.
There, he can solidify all the essentials before advancing to the Fierce Realm, whether it’s supernatural techniques or resources needed for swordsmanship inheritance; he can obtain them at the lowest cost through the military rit system.
He has even greater ambitions—if he can secure a position in the Divine Sword Army, he could potentially beco a ruler in a part of Yuanzhou in the future.
Whether it’s being a garrison commander in a county or a leader of a combat team, both are excellent foundations—and he does not wish for his descendants to endure the hardships he had.
“So, the main reason you want to join the Divine Sword Army is to beco stronger, not for the glory of the Divine Sword Army, right?”
Tang Luo always considered himself good at grasping the essentials. After listening to Xu Chengyuan’s account, he understood that joining the army was the young man’s best option given his limited conditions, but that did not an it was the optimal choice in itself.
“What do you an by that, Tang Tianjiao?”
Feeling as though his inner thoughts were laid bare, Xu Chengyuan felt a sense of naked sha and replied back coldly.
“Don’t misunderstand; I’m just trying to offer you another perspective.”
Tang Luo said soothingly, “Think about it, getting stronger essentially involves a few aspects: heritage, resources, and secret techniques of divinity, along with one’s own aptitude, understanding, and realm. The latter three are beyond change, but the first three are not such monuntal tasks.”
“You are a swordsman of Yuanzhou, and even more, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Five Absolute Sword Sect. Just establish a reputation for yourself in Longzhou and then set up the Longzhou Branch of the Five Absolute Sword Sect. Disciples from noble families will break down your door to join. When that ti cos, you’ll have both people and wealth; being the master of a dojo isn’t any more invigorating than joining the army?”
