Chapter 494

"Many thanks, Sect Leader. This disciple understands. If this disciple violates Shushan's sect rules in the future, there is no need for the Law Enforcement Hall to punish me; this disciple will definitely end her own life and not lose face for Shushan."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and didn't dwell on this matter.

Although he resisted bullying others, acting recklessly, and didn't like disregarding life.

But...

In the final analysis, he is a cultivator, the Sect Leader of Shushan, and not the same kind of life as mortals.

To put it bluntly, when it comes to choosing, the lives of millions of mortals are not as important as a cultivation genius.

The things Rosalyne has done over the years, although sinful in the eyes of mortals, are also within the range of turning a blind eye.

As long as she hasn't fallen into the demonic path, everything is easy to talk about.

Who told her to have the Li-Fire Pulse?

Cultivation sects, no matter how they wear the skin of righteousness, are essentially respect for the strong.

Shushan cannot change this either.

This is the necessary fig leaf for survival in the cultivation world, and no one can be an exception.

Just like the saying goes, when you come out to mix, you always have to talk about some rules.

This point, everyone actually gradually understood.

Although their mood was complicated when they first understood, after they slowly knew that they had already cultivated immortality, they were no longer mortals.

Naturally, they had to talk about the moral standards of cultivators.

As long as they haven't entered the demonic path, then everything is easy to talk about.

Cultivators have always been double-standard.

Sects are even more so.

Today, after the Immortal-Inviting Ceremony, Shushan recruited five geniuses in one breath.

Among them,

Overall, Jiang Yan was still very satisfied.

After the Cryo Archon and the other four confirmed they wanted to join Shushan, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became much more cheerful.

Everyone was quite welcoming of their arrival.

The five of them were geniuses, after all; geniuses joining Shushan meant that Shushan's strength had improved once again.

Now, everyone was basically tied together with Shushan—they prospered together and suffered together.

From the bottom of their hearts, every Shushan disciple hoped that Shushan could become stronger and stronger.

Most importantly, the Cryo Archon, Focalors, and Neuvillette were already very powerful to begin with.

Once they switched their cultivation, although they wouldn't reach the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation like Seeing Zhongli and the others,

a conservative estimate would still place them at the early stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation.

Being a Peak Master or something like that would be a stretch.

But for now, considering their potential and talent, there should be no problem with them serving as Elders of the various peaks.

Thinking of this, everyone was quite willing to build a good relationship with them.

Furina was more direct; she huddled beside Focalors and Neuvillette, constantly whispering instructions to them.

She told them to remember to give her Spirit Stones once they became Elders or whatever.

To this, Neuvillette and Focalors would not refuse.

Jiang Yan and Seeing Zhongli also began to chat about the situation of the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

After all, once the Rite of Descension was over, they would have to begin their journey into the Demon-Suppressing Tower.

Although Seeing Zhongli was confident he wouldn't be stopped by the Demon-Suppressing Tower, that place was, after all, fraught with crises.

In the past, it had even served as a place for high-ranking Shushan members who had made mistakes to reflect on their wrongdoings.

Having confidence alone wasn't enough to stay alive.

It was still necessary to know some more specific information.

This would likely be one of the rare moments of peace in Liyue Harbor for the coming period.

Taking advantage of this time, everyone could still chat and discuss matters.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become more relaxed, Kokomi and Ayaka exchanged glances and finally took action.

The group walked up to Yae Miko, and Ayaka looked at her with a sincere expression.

"Guuji Yae, can we talk?"

"Oh?"

Yae Miko looked at Ayaka with great interest.

She had long since guessed why Ayaka and the others had come.

Although she didn't mind solving problems, but…

if things were solved in such a boring way, it wouldn't be to her taste.

Thinking this, Yae Miko looked at Ayaka with a smile and said softly:

"I thought you would endure for a while longer before coming to find me."

294. Kujou Sara: My Shogun is a puppet?

Ayaka opened her mouth, just about to say something, when Yae Miko leaned lazily against her chair and waved her hand to stop her.

That Heavenly Charm Body and the increasingly mature, alluring charm made Ayaka and the others blush for a moment.

They couldn't help but blame themselves for their unstable state of mind.

But…

they ultimately averted their eyes, not daring to look directly at Yae Miko.

Now, they finally understood why other people in Shushan basically didn't look at Yae Miko often.

The Heavenly Charm Body was truly not something an ordinary person could withstand.

"Let's not mention other things for now."

Yae Miko looked at Ayaka and the others with interest, implying something:

"Everyone else has already seized the opportunity to join Shushan; why haven't you taken action?"

"Opportunities to see the Sect Master are rare, let alone having such close contact with him."

"Now that the Sect Master is already discussing serious matters with Peak Master Seeing Zhongli, you have wasted a good opportunity."

"Regretful?"

Ayaka fell silent, and Kokomi and the others beside her also looked somewhat dejected.

Yae Miko was right; Jiang Yan basically didn't leave Shushan much.

If one wanted to join Shushan, this opportunity was naturally the best.

As long as they gathered the courage to ask Jiang Yan, given his personality, he would likely help take a look.

For the five of them, as long as one person could join Shushan, it would be worth it.

What's more, who knew if their talents were actually quite good?

Unfortunately, this opportunity had already been missed.

Jiang Yan was busy discussing serious matters with Seeing Zhongli; how could he spare any attention for them?

Joining Shushan to cultivate—anyone with a bit of foresight should know this was the only way to become a trendsetter in the future era.

As long as one joined Shushan to cultivate, they would basically forge an invincible golden body in the magnificent future of Teyvat.

But compared to themselves as individuals, they were currently more eager to let all of Inazuma escape its current quagmire.

The opportunity was gone; at worst, they could wait a few more years, and there would still be hope.

But if Inazuma's problems weren't solved, waiting a few more years would leave Inazuma with no hope at all.

Yae Miko didn't rush Ayaka and the others, looking at Ayaka with a smile.

After a long silence, the latter smiled bitterly.

"If you ask if I regret it, how could I not? Shushan's status is plain for all to see."

"The power of cultivators is also known to everyone. The future belongs to cultivators; one step slow, every step slow."

"Missing this opportunity, I don't even know if there will be another chance to join Shushan."

"But no matter what, I still have hope, we still have hope."

"We can continue to wait, waiting for the next Mountain Opening Ceremony, but Inazuma cannot afford to wait."

"Guuji Yae…"
