Chapter 661: Who Can Go Against Destiny and Change Fate for This Old One?
Looking at the lady’s expression, the old woman sighed and said, “Ningxiang, do you not understand this reasoning until now?
“An elite faction’s true pillar will never be any so-called resources, but thearch-cla.s.s experts.
“This old one’s soul has been damaged, and my body cannot move easily either. If I forcefully sustain my life, it is the same as lighting a candle that is about to extinguish.
“However, as long as this old one doesn’t die, this old one’s contracted fey will still be around, and no one will be able to pull down the Condense Fairy Orchard from being an elite faction.
“But Ningxiang, my condition can only last for another year at most. One year later, even if the Sun family’s Condense Fairy Orchard forms a close pact with the Miao family’s Connected Beast Park, the Condense Fairy Orchard still won’t escape the fate of being slaughtered.”
Sun Ningxiang’s tears that had been forcefully held back immediately rolled down her eyes. She then said with a sobbing voice, “Grandmother, even if I have to sell the entire Condense Fairy Orchard, I will find someone to cure your sickness.”
The old woman extended out her wrinkled hand to wipe off Sun Ningxiang’s tears and said in a benevolent voice, “Since you have decided to stand strong as a woman, you must not allow your tears to fall out so easily. If they need to fall, let them fall in your heart.
“Ningxiang, in the future, your younger brother, Liufu, will still need you to take care of him.” While speaking, the old woman let out a light sigh in her heart.
“If my sickness was so easy to cure, how could there be so many pairs of eyes targeting the Condense Fairy Orchard!?”
At that moment, a set of light footsteps and two excited voices echoed. “Madam, Young Lady, there is a new faction on the Star Web.”
Sun Ningxiang involuntarily touched her forehead upon hearing the excited calls. Her two female servants had been spoiled and were actually not behaving even at her grandmother’s place.
Sun Ningxiang said loudly while facing the door, “Peach Witch, Apricot, the residence for grandmother to nurse her health isn’t like the headquarters of the Condense Fairy Orchard. You are not allowed to disturb grandmother’s rest.”
The footsteps at the door got closer, and the figures of two women appeared at the entrance. One of them was wearing pink clothes while the other was wearing yellow clothes. They had rather similar looks.
When the duo heard Sun Ningxiang’s words, they immediately realized that they were overly excited by the information they saw on the Star Web.
Peach Witch and Apricot stuck out their tongue and quickly bowed to greet the old woman.
Sun Ningxiang asked the duo, “Why is there a fuss over the sudden appearance of a faction? The two of you have been handling the affairs on the Condense Fairy Orchard’s private faction territory on Star Web for some time. Which day doesn’t have at least two new factions being established?”
Peach Witch and Apricot quickly replied, “Young Lady, this newly established private faction announced that their profession is to provide custom high-quality Bronze feys according to one’s Willpower Rune.
“We believe that this faction should have plenty of Creation Master resources.”
Sun Ningxiang stood up abruptly in response and said to the old woman beside her, “Grandmother, I will go take a look at Star Web now. When I return later, I will accompany you for the flower arrangement.”
The old woman watched as Sun Ningxiang quickly walked away and returned to her room to enter Star Web. The old woman lowered her head and looked at her palms as she muttered softly, “This old one has not believed in fate for my entire life. But now, I can only pray that destiny is in my favor. It would be great if someone was able to cure this old one’s sickness!”
…
As more people entered Sky City’s private territory, the palace-sized entrance seemed to be rather congested.
Lin Yuan looked at the crowd at the entrance and suddenly saw a lady with long hair that reached the waist. She was wearing a plain white dress and was particularly outstanding.
The lady had a very special aura, and Lin Yuan was abnormally familiar with this aura. It was just like Gao Feng’s aura—it was a kind of n.o.ble aura that could only be produced under the great influence of a strong foundation.
He a.s.sumed that the ident.i.ty of this lady in the white dress wasn’t simple.
At that moment, the pink-dressed Peach Witch saw that Lin Yuan’s eyes were looking in Sun Ningxiang’s direction. She turned her head and whispered to Sun Ningxiang, “Young Lady, that fellow wearing the weird mask is looking at you!”
Sun Ningxiang didn’t bother about Peach Witch’s words, but she s.h.i.+fted her eyes away from the Bronze/Legend Oath Lily of the Valley. As a result, her eyes crossed paths with Lin Yuan’s eyes.
Immediately after Sun Ningxiang nodded to Lin Yuan and casually withdrew her gaze.
She then asked the yellow-dressed Apricot, “Apricot, what level do you think this newly established Sky City has achieved?”
The yellow-dressed Apricot pushed up the spectacles on her nose and said seriously, “Young Lady, just from the decorations, the lower limits of Sky City is a top-notch rising faction. As for the upper limits, Apricot cannot be sure.”
When Peach Witch heard Apricot’s words, she couldn’t help interfering, “108 Bronze/Epic Starlight Gra.s.s, 36 Bronze/Epic Floating Cloud Flowers, along with the roulette carved out from completely jade-textured wood. Just these decorations are more than what a top-notch rising faction can afford, right?
“Furthermore, there is a Bronze/Legend Oath Lily of the Valley. I think just by these decorations, they already have the standard of a veteran faction.”
Apricot responded very seriously, “Elder sister, when Young Lady is asking a question, it is natural to be stricter.”
The things displayed in Star Web’s Sky City might not be existent in reality. What if they are rented?”
“But even if they are rented, with so many items, they are at least at the level of a top-notch rising faction.”
Sun Ningxiang’s eyes flickered after hearing Apricot’s comment.
Sun Ningxiang knew that Apricot had always been strict with her words, but the moment Sun Ningxiang exchanged eye contact with Lin Yuan, she could see the steadiness and calmness from Lin Yuan’s eyes.
A person with such eyes must have utmost confidence in his heart.
But just by seeing the decorations, Sun Ningxiang wasn’t certain how much Creation Master resources the Sky City possessed.
Even if Sky City had a Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master, without sufficient high-grade Creation Master resources, they could only relieve the Condense Fairy Orchard for a brief period. It was still impossible to resolve Condense Fairy Orchard’s root problem.
Seeing Sun Ningxiang being so eager toward Sky City, Peach Witch knew that Sun Ningxiang wished she could borrow the Creation Master resources from Sky City.
As an aide to Sun Ningxiang, Peach Witch was naturally clear about the problem faced by the Condense Fairy Orchard.
Therefore, Peach Witch said softly to Sun Ningxiang, “Young Lady, why don’t I go tell them about our ident.i.ty to see if there is any chance of collaboration?”
Sun Ningxiang pondered for a moment and replied, “On Star Web, if a new faction announces its profession, it will surely reveal more again. Even if we want to make ourselves known, we don’t have to be in a hurry. Let’s wait and see first.”
