Magic Sect of Beauties: The Strongest Mage is in a Cultivation World Chapter 150: Fostering Cooperation Between Both Sects. The M

Guo Xiaoi and Xiu Yulan took the lead, guiding their guests on a tour of the sect.

With its vast size, they couldn't cover everything in just one day, so they focused on showing the visitors key locations like the Dragon Vein Spirit Pool and Serpent's Spire.

Following directives from the first matriarch, they subtly hinted at and showcased the power disparity between the two sects, ensuring the White Serpent Sect didn't get any silly ideas.

This is so boring... Yang Wei yawned.

Without even realizing it, the afternoon had grown tired.

Gu Yen stopped and suggested, "Perhaps, it's ti my back rests a bit." Being the eldest physically, her words carried a lot of weight.

Many disciples halted, murmuring about their fatigue.

"Yeah, I'm tired too..."

"I feel like I've been walking for ages."

"This is why I don't like visits from other sects, we're always the ones that suffer these hospitality nonsense."

So were angry, so were tired, and others were just less concerned.

A good example was Lu Lin who looked quite down.

"Lady Lin, is everything alright? Are you also tired?" one of her followers asked.

Fanning herself with a folding fan, she tried to keep up her proud deanor as she said, as if a simple endurance trek would weaken her... this is child's play. Hmph!" she kept her proud, arrogant smile ever-present.

"Amazing as always, my lady!"

All her followers stared at her admirably.

Gu Zhi flexed her thin, wrinkled biceps and declared, "I'm not tired at all! I want to see more of what this sect has to offer!"

Guo Xiaoi turned to Gu Zhi and suggested, "Perhaps it's best to rest. Tomorrow, so of the disciples of both sects could pair up and explore together."

Sun Yurong smiled and agreed, "That sounds like a good idea. It'll create more opportunities for cooperation."

But Gu Zhi, in her usual blunt and adamant manner, held out her fist then shouted, "Screw cooperation!" Then, her back snapped again, and she scread in pain, "Ah, my back! izhen, help!"

Hu izhen left a chuckling Deng Rulan and rushed to aid her chief elder. "I'm coming!" she shouted as she ran to help Gu Zhi up.

"Ehhh..." Xiu Yulan chuckled awkwardly. After, she suggested, "M-maybe Ling iyan should just guide the disciples to their accommodations while we, the elders, head to the Golden Palace."

Resting in Hu izhen's arms, Gu Zhi lanted, "It's a sha I won't get to see that bastard, pretty boy, Yang Wei. I'd love to knock him down with my own two fangs!"

Concerned, Hu izhen replied, "Chief Elder, be careful not to worsen your back."

Gu Zhi then punched Hu izhen on her shoulder. The hit was supposed to be stronger, but given her current condition, that was the best she could manage. She complained, "Didn't that Yang Wei treat you like a dog? He sexually abused and spanked you! And now you tell to take it easy?! No one bullies my disciples and gets away with it!"

"Do you really care that much about , chief elder?" Hu izhen looked like she'd cry.

"What?" Gu Zhi squeezed her wrinkled face. "Of course I don't. What I care about, is my reputation. I can't have so talentless young man beating up disciples that I, Gu Zhi, trained...!"

"O-oh.."

Sun Yurong on the other hand gave Yang Wei a side glare that scread "is what I'm hearing true?".

I didn't sexually abuse anyone... Yang Wei thought as he pinched his nose bridge.

Xiu Yulan cleared her throat, attempting to ease the tension in the air. "Why don't we use this path to reach the Palace of the Golden Palace?" she suggested, pointing to another direction.

Sun Yurong let out a heavy sigh. "I was enjoying learning more about this sect, but I suppose it's ti to focus on more important matters."

Guo Xiaoi turned to Ling iyan and instructed, "Keep an eye on the disciples and take care of the accommodations, as agreed." It was a subtle hint for Ling iyan to keep the White Serpent Sect in check if absolutely necessary.

Forced to chuckle nervously, Ling iyan replied, "I'll do my best." She wasn't confident in her leadership abilities or comfortable with using force as a ans to relay an instruction.

It's tis like these I wish Yanran was here...

Gu Zhi interjected, "That's not fair! There should be leaders from both sects!"

"Grrr!" Guo Xiaoi felt irritated by the old hag's constant complaining, but before she could snap back, Xiu Yulan intervened, saying, "Feel free to choose a leader from your sect."

Gu Zhi imdiately nominated, "izhen! She's too useful not to lead." However, her suggestion was t with incredulous looks from everyone. Even those who hadn't t Hu izhen before now recognized her as nothing more than an airhead with a prominent chest.

Realizing her bias, Gu Zhi sighed and conceded, "Fine, Deng Rulan and Yurong Jr. will lead their disciples."

Sun Yurong glanced at her daughter and nodded, silently encouraging her to do her best. Sun Yujing smiled and bowed her head, accepting her mother's silent well wishes.

Gu Yen weakly smiled at Deng Rulan and reminded her, "Make sure things stay under control. I expect you to discretely handle any disputes that arise."

Deng Rulan respectfully bowed her head and replied, "Yes, Chief Elder."

"Alright, good luck!"

With that, Gu Yen, leaning on her support stick, joined the departing peak chiefs and elders. Gu Zhi, still nursing her weak back, struggled to walk with her walking stick, groaning heavily with each step.

...

As the elders walked along the different path, an uncomfortable silence escorted them, and Gu Zhi's constant groaning simply made it awkward. Finally, Gu Zhi couldn't take it anymore and complained, "When are we getting to that Golden Palace thing? My back is killing . Isn't there so kind of transportation array we can use?"

Xiu Yulan adjusted her hair bangs and replied, "If you can bear with us for just a few more minutes, we should be there. Transportation arrays can't reach the Golden Palace because it's out of sync with space."

Gu Zhi yawned, unimpressed. "I hope you don't expect to be impressed by such parlor tricks."

Out of sync with space?! That must be a high-level technique!

Xiu Yulan shot Gu Zhi an exasperated side-eye and muttered, "Sure."

Walking beside Sun Yurong, Guo Xiaoi struggled to find her voice.

Shortly after, Sun Yurong noticed her hesitation and asked, "Is there sothing you'd like to say?"

Guo Xiaoi took a deep breath and apologized, "I just want to apologize for what I said earlier. I know I went too far..."

Sun Yurong kept a subtle smile on her face as she listened. Then, she gently inquired, "Do you know why most of those girls are dual cultivating?"

Guo Xiaoi admitted, "Not really..."

Sun Yurong explained, "Exactly. So why judge them for it? Those girls have suffered a lot in their lifetis, especially at the hands of n. I don't bla them if that's the path they've chosen..."

Guo Xiaoi was left speechless, shocked by Sun Yurong's words.

Sun Yurong continued, "To keep it short, neither I nor any other higher-up in the White Serpent Sect have forced them to abduct or dual cultivate with n. It was their own free will, and we won't deprive them of it. After all, the n who scarred them for life didn't spare their will."

With that, Sun Yurong walked ahead, leaving Guo Xiaoi standing there in surprise.

It was then and there Guo Xiaoi realized it.

She's a victim of the Dragon Ridge Township Incident, isn't she... They all are...
