Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Chenyu’s Worries

"Huh?"

The female martial artist named Chenyu snapped back to her senses, her face slightly flushed, stammering somewhat incoherently, "Senior Sister Ye, I... I’m not preoccupied..."

Senior Sister Ye giggled and edged closer to Chenyu, nudging her with her shoulder, and whispered, "Come on, my Junior Sister Xia, there’s no need to hide it from your senior sister. I’ve been through it all, do you really think you can keep secrets from me? Tell me, did you set your heart on one of our fellow brothers from Golden Crow Manor, wanting to be his martial dao companion?"

"It’s not like that, Senior Sister Ye... I..."

Chenyu shook her head, quickly regaining her composure, then let out a deep sigh and looked up at the dark night sky that had set in.

At that moment, a bright moon rose, and the cold moonlight filtered through the gaps between the ancient trees of the sky, casting its light on Chenyu’s face, which bore a hint of heroism amidst its stunning beauty. The faint silver halo that surfaced on her fair, jade-like skin added an ethereal, captivating allure to her.

"Junior Sister Xia is exceptionally talented and highly gifted, and with her beauty, it’s no wonder that after becoming a disciple of Golden Crow Manor, she has been given special attention for her development by the higher-ups, and so many fellow brothers have been smitten with her. If I were a man, I too, would likely fall for her."

Senior Sister Ye admired the delicate profile of Xia Chenyu under the moonlight, feeling a tinge of envy in her heart.

"Senior Sister Ye, to tell you the truth... I’ve already given my heart to someone. In this life, I wish only to be his martial dao companion..."

Xia Chenyu murmured, and in her trance, the bright moon before her eyes gradually transformed into the smiling face of the man she yearned for day and night.

Seeing Xia Chenyu talk about the man of her dreams so fondly, Senior Sister Ye became immensely curious, wanting to know what sort of outstanding man could make this breathtakingly beautiful, disinterested-in-all-others junior sister so infatuated.

"Let me take a guess; your beloved must be tall and valiant, supremely talented, and extraordinarily strong, right?"

Senior Sister Ye propped her cheek with one hand, tilting her head as she asked.

Xia Chenyu nodded, "In my eyes, he is all-powerful; no other man in the world can compare to him."

Senior Sister Ye snorted with laughter, "Whoever one loves, they always think is the best in the world. It’s like that for everyone."

Chenyu, seeing Senior Sister Ye’s disbelief, hurriedly said, "Senior Sister Ye, you haven’t met Fang Bai. If you did, you’d know I’m not blindly praising him."

Senior Sister Ye uttered an "Oh," smilingly said, "So your heart belongs to someone named Fang Bai. Tell your senior sister, is he a disciple of a Sect or one of the Prominent Clans?"

Xia Chenyu realized she had slipped but felt it was not a big deal. Answering Senior Sister Ye’s inquiry straightforwardly, she said, "He’s not a Sect or Prominent Clan disciple, but a Loose Cultivator..."

"A Loose Cultivator?"

Senior Sister Ye was taken aback, her expression full of astonishment. She could hardly believe that her sister, who had an immeasurable future in the martial dao, would actually fall for a Loose Cultivator.

In the True Martial Realm, the majority of martial artists come from Sects and Prominent Clans, then rely on the powerful Cultivation Resources of these Sects and Clans to enhance their Cultivation Levels, eventually becoming mighty figures who dominate the land.

The relatively few Individual Cultivation Martial Artists are generally divided into three categories:

The first category is due to mediocre talent, with no Sect or Prominent Clan willing to take them in.

The second type either have a proud backbone or a naturally free-spirited nature, unwilling to submit to others or be restrained, which is why they prefer not to join any Sects or Prominent Clans.

The third type consists of Martial Artists who, for various reasons, have betrayed and fled from major Sects and Clans or have been expelled by them.

These Individual Cultivation Martial Artists often lack Cultivation Resources, and it is rare for them to possess exceptional strength; the vast majority remain obscure throughout their lives.

Of course, there are also a few Individual Cultivation Martial Artists with remarkable talents who manage to encounter serendipitous opportunities while experiencing the world of the True Martial Realm, enabling them to achieve extraordinary accomplishments on the path of Martial Dao and become powerful figures admired by thousands of Martial Artists.

However, the likelihood of an Individual Cultivation Martial Artist reaching the Martial Dao Peak within the True Martial Realm is exceedingly scarce.

Therefore, when Senior Sister Ye heard that Chenyu’s beloved was a Loose Cultivator, she found it hard to believe at first, and then thought that even if it were true, it would surely be met with strong opposition from the higher-ups of the Manor. She feared that Junior Sister Xia’s wish to become Martial Dao companions with that Loose Cultivator would be difficult to fulfill.

Senior Sister Ye, named Ye Qingxuan, had the closest relationship with Xia Chenyu among all the disciples at Golden Crow Manor, and knew that Chenyu herself had also been an Individual Cultivator. Over a year ago, after being severely injured in a conflict, she was saved by a high-ranking member of Golden Crow Manor who was out on training and subsequently became a disciple of the Manor.

Initially, Chenyu’s Cultivation Level was only at the initial Vast Level, which was far below even that of a menial servant disciple at Golden Crow Manor. However, due to possessing an Innate Fire Spirit Root, Chenyu received special cultivation from the Manor’s leaders, who provided her with a large amount of Cultivation Resources and had an Elder personally direct her in her Martial Arts Techniques.

And Chenyu’s performance had astounded the leaders of the Manor, earning their admiration and revised perspectives.

In just over a year, Chenyu’s Cultivation Level had made breakthroughs, advancing from the initial stage of the Vast Level to the initial stage of the Cosmic Level, leaping an entire realm, and joining the ranks of the External Courtyard disciples of Golden Crow Palace Mountain.

Even though Chenyu was just one among tens of thousands of External Courtyard disciples, she was the only one with an Innate Fire Spirit Root. Given her astonishing rate of advancement in strength, perhaps the External Courtyard was merely a temporary stay for her.

Chenyu was seen as a promising disciple by all of Golden Crow Manor’s upper echelons, who believed that if she were supported and cultivated with full effort, she would surely become a cornerstone of the Manor.

How could Golden Crow Manor possibly allow such a disciple with boundless potential and laden with high expectations to become Martial Dao companions with a Loose Cultivator?

Even if one day Chenyu wished to find a Martial Dao companion, given her innate talent and the resources of Golden Crow Manor, without daring to say of seeking out disciples from reclusive Innate Sects or prominent families, at the very least she would need to match with a talented disciple of equal standing.

Therefore, in Ye Qingxuan’s opinion, it was impossible for Xia Chenyu to become Martial Dao companions with her unschooled beloved.

If Xia Chenyu insisted on becoming Martial Dao companions with that Loose Cultivator, it might even bring lethal trouble upon him.

For the Manor, eliminating an unschooled, unaffiliated Loose Cultivator for self-interested reasons, would not be problematic at all.

But Ye Qingxuan also understood Chenyu’s character, knowing that she was soft on the outside but tough on the inside, and extremely tenacious. Applying pressure on her would likely provoke fierce resistance.

If Golden Crow Palace Mountain objected to Chenyu becoming Martial Dao companions with her beloved in the future, Chenyu might react extremely and could possibly turn against Golden Crow Palace Mountain and stand as its adversary.

Thinking of this, as Chenyu’s good friend, Ye Qingxuan couldn’t help but worry for her.

"Junior Sister Xia, you really must think this through! If you become Martial Dao companions with a Loose Cultivator, you will surely face opposition from the Manor’s higher-ups. Your relationship is doomed to fail..."

Ye Qingxuan glanced toward two Golden Crow Manor Stewards in the distance, then spoke to Xia Chenyu using the Thread Condensation Sound Transmission Technique.

Ye Qingxuan knew that such topics were best discussed privately, and it would not be good for the two Stewards to overhear.
