Chapter 361: Seeking Help From Nalan Lengling
“The cause of the incident was an argument between Nalan Xinxin and someone else while she was wandering around the Talisman Edict Department. Although Nalan Xinxin’s sister is Nalan Lengling, this is the Fire Sect after all, so there are naturally the rules of the Fire Sect. Nalan lengling’s name can only be used to intimidate others, but in reality, she can’t do anything excessive. Therefore, the other party is clearly not afraid of Nalan Xinxin.
“But she’s used to being unreasonable. She insisted on making a bet with them. If she completes the grade one talisman, they’ll kneel down and apologize to Nalan Xinxin.”
“What does that have to do with you guys?”
“We’re all in the same group, so we have to bear the consequences together.”
Lin Yiya pinched her brows helplessly.
Nalan Xinxin was an idiot. Not only was she unreasonable, but she also caused trouble for them.
Initially, everyone wanted to pay a certain amount as punishment and treat it as a failed mission. However, the reward of the talisman edict was extraordinarily expensive. Even if they emptied out all five of their belongings, they still could not afford it. They had no choice but to turn to Victor.
Of course, they did not want to borrow some treasures from him. Instead, they wanted him to help them complete the talisman edict.
“But… a grade one talisman edict needs to be completed by a cultivator above the core formation realm, and I’m only at the foundation establishment realm. I’m still some distance away from the spiritual pedestal realm, so I’m not capable…”
Victor sighed lightly and turned to look at the silent Nalan Xinxin. He continued, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you either. Not to mention that I’m weak, can you guarantee that there won’t be a next time?
“This time, you guys will clean up Nalan Xinxin’s mess. What if there’s a second and third time? We will all be killed by her sooner or later. If you want me to say it, you should go to the elder and ask him for help.”
Victor’s words were rough but not harsh. Everyone’s att.i.tude toward Nalan Xinxin was also very resentful. She was incapable, but she was also the first to get into trouble. If it were not for the fact that there were only six of them and they could not be separated, they would have kicked Nalan Xinxin out long ago.
“Forgive me for being blunt, but you actually have a better choice, don’t you? Isn’t Nalan Xinxin’s sister Nalan Lengling a core formation cultivator? With her help, you’ll definitely be able to complete it.”
After all, after spending a month together, Victor still provided them an alternative for everyone.
“It’s useless. Of course, we thought of this in the beginning. However, after asking, we found out that if Nalan Lengling knew that Nalan Xinxin was causing trouble for others, she would definitely kick her out of the sect.”
“What’s wrong with that? Killing two birds with one stone, isn’t it?”
“w.a.n.g Cheng, what did you say!”
“Is this the att.i.tude you should have when begging for help?”
Victor glared at the shameless Nalan Xinxin and continued, “Wouldn’t it be much easier for the four of you if she leaves? You don’t have to worry about something like this happening again in the future.”
“That being said, try not to let her be expelled. The situation at Nalan Xinxin’s home… is a little complicated. If she leaves the Fire Sect, there’s a high chance that she’ll be kicked out of the family.”
Lin Yiya glanced at Nalan Xinxin, then looked at Victor. “Please, w.a.n.g Cheng! Help us!”
“Forget it. For the sake of our cla.s.smates, I can help you persuade Nalan Lengling to help us. This is my limit. If the six of us handle the grade one mission, what’s the difference between that and suicide?
“Don’t even think about me asking for help from others. I just entered the inner sect and I’m not familiar with the place. They might not agree to help me.
“At the end of the day, Nalan Xinxin, this is all your responsibility. Are you expecting everyone to bear the consequences when you’re the one who caused all the trouble?”
Victor snorted coldly, he continued, “I’ll go and find Nalan Lengling for help. Right now, only she can help us solve the problem. Nalan Xinxin, I don’t care how you’ll end up in the future. If you don’t know how to repent, it’s better for you to leave the Fire Sect as soon as possible.”
After saying that, Victor turned around and left with everyone.
After entering the inner sect, Victor became the disciple of the great elder. Therefore, his place was not far from Nalan Lengling, which was only two minutes away.
During these two minutes, Nalan Xinxin had begged Victor multiple times to not tell her sister the truth, but Victor had rejected her mercilessly.
“w.a.n.g Cheng! You…”
Nalan Xinxin’s eyes were red as she stared angrily at Victor, as if she was going to cry in the next moment.
“I know what to say. I don’t need you to teach me.”
After Victor rejected Nalan Xinxin, he knocked on Nalan Lengling’s room door.
As there were very few people who came to look for Nalan Lengling, she quickly guessed that the people who came were Victor and Lianhua.
“w.a.n.g Cheng, w.a.n.g Cui, and Xinxin? What are you doing here?”
Nalan Lengling frowned as if she did not like to be disturbed, but in fact, she was just afraid that people would gossip about her.
As the second best person in the inner sect of the Fire Sect, many people coveted Nalan Lengling’s position.
“Sister… sister…”
“It’s like this, senior sister.”
“Before entering the inner sect, the seven of us agreed that after entering the inner sect, we must complete a grade one talisman edict together to prove our growth.
“However, I didn’t expect that I would enter the inner sect so quickly. I don’t think that our strength is enough to complete a grade one talisman edict, so I thought of asking senior sister for help.”
“I refuse. You can go back now.”
“As expected… is that so?”
Nalan Xinxin looked at Nalan lengling with a slightly regretful expression, and her eyes were filled with fear.
“Senior sister, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. Don’t you want to hear my conditions?”
“I’m not interested, and I doubt you have anything that can move me.”
“I heard that senior sister cultivates both the water and fire techniques?”
“That’s right.”
“I’m sure you’ll feel their incompatibility during the process of cultivation, right? After all, the water and fire techniques won’t complement each other. Instead, they’ll restrain each other.”
“So?”
“So, I have a way to solve this problem. As long as senior sister agrees to help us complete this grade one talisman edict, I’ll naturally hand this method over to senior sister. Of course, even if senior sister refuses, I’ll still hand it over to you.”
“Why should I believe you?”
“Senior sister can refuse to help, but I will still hand this method method. Senior sister, you won’t be at a disadvantage, right?”
As Victor spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a crafty smile.
Yes, Victor was about 90% confident in convincing Nalan Lengling. The reason was very simple.
Nalan Lengling was a very proud person. Her pride would not allow her to accept things from others and still remain indifferent. At the same time, Victor concluded that if Nalan Lengling wanted to take a step further, she had to resolve the incompatibility between the fire and water techniques in her body.
Only through this could Nalan Lengling’s strength rise to a higher level. She was comparable to the number one person in the inner sect, the disciple of Elder Fengzhang!
the peak elder!
“If the method works, I will partic.i.p.ate.”
