Chapter 1003: Obedient Above All Else

In the past, Lin Xian'er had always longed to obtain freedom.

But after regaining her freedom, she suddenly discovered that she did not seem as happy as she had imagined.

It was not until this moment that she suddenly realized her own thoughts had quietly undergone a change.

Without the constraints of Wang Jianqiang, was she truly free?

After experiencing one turmoil after another, she had long since understood the dangers within the cultivation world.

Without Wang Jianqiang, without the Gentleman Alliance.

She absolutely would not have lived until today.

Wang Jianqiang was indeed a form of constraint for her, but at the same time, he was also a form of protection.

Moreover, all these years, she had watched as Ye Qingxue's cultivation base surged.

Once upon a time.

She was the number one genius of the Xuanqing Palace Outer Sect, while Ye Qingxue could only rank fourth.

Now.

Ye Qingxue had not only reached the Nascent Soul Stage Perfection, but had also Manifested Will, and was nearing the end of her training in Will Power.

And she...

Had only just cultivated to the Golden Core Stage Perfection, and her training in Soul Power had only just begun.

Because cultivation resources were precious, she could only constantly perform tasks for the sect to earn limited resources; it was unknown how many years it would be before she could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The gap in cultivation between her and Ye Qingxue was already like the difference between heaven and earth.

She knew very well.

The reason Ye Qingxue was able to soar was not because she worked harder than her, nor was her talent stronger than hers.

It was simply because she took the initiative to attach herself to Wang Jianqiang and chose the correct path.

Sometimes, choice really is greater than effort!

Thinking of this...

A look of determination flashed in her eyes.

She absolutely could not let this opportunity slip by.

She also wanted to progress!!!

She looked at the figure ahead that had almost disappeared from her field of vision, flashed, caught up in an instant, and blocked Wang Jianqiang's path.

Wang Jianqiang frowned, "I have already returned your freedom; is there anything else?"

Lin Xian'er took a deep breath, "Master, I also want to be like Ye Qingxue and continue to stay by your side."

Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Wang Jianqiang was stunned, then he laughed, his smile revealing undisguised mockery, "On what grounds?"

Lin Xian'er was stunned.

Wang Jianqiang's reaction was somewhat beyond her expectations.

In her mind, since she was so beautiful, shouldn't Wang Jianqiang have readily agreed after hearing her express her willingness to follow him and continue being his maid?

"Do you think that just because you are beautiful, I would readily agree after hearing you are willing to follow me?"

"I have to admit, you are indeed beautiful, but by my side, I already have Dong Yue, Lingxi, Su Yutong, Wang Yuyao..."

"They have experienced many hardships with me and are obedient to my every word."

"And compared to them, your appearance, which you are so proud of, has no advantage."

"Why should I take in a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator like you to stay by my side, consume my resources, and take advantage of me?"

Wang Jianqiang's words were very blunt, bordering on humiliation.

But after hearing his words, Lin Xian'er could not offer a single rebuttal.

Because what Wang Jianqiang said was the truth!

After a moment of silence, a look of determination flashed across her face, "I will be obedient; I will definitely be more obedient than anyone else."

"I beg you to give me a chance."

The rise of her good sister was more painful for her than anyone else.

She had had enough of the pain of only being able to watch her good sister break through rapidly while she herself could only cultivate at a "snail's pace."

She wanted to progress too much!

Hearing Lin Xian'er's words, Wang Jianqiang stared at her for a moment.

He sighed.

"Fine, I value a Fairy with a strong desire for self-improvement the most."

"For the sake of your strong desire for self-improvement, I will give you a chance for now."

"However, if your performance fails to satisfy me, I will have you leave immediately."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang relent, Lin Xian'er was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master, for the opportunity given to Xian Er; Xian Er will definitely strive to perform well and will never let Master down."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

"Since that is the case, then come back with me."

"Since I have taken you back as a maid, I will not be stingy."

"I will treat you to something good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xian'er felt a surge of joy in her heart.

The first thing she thought of was a Pill.

Could it be that Wang Jianqiang wanted to reward her with a Pill?

That's great!

She could finally receive the same treatment as Ye Qingxue; with her talent and the same supply of resources, in the future, her cultivation would surely be able to catch up to and even surpass her good sister Ye Qingxue.

Afterwards, Wang Jianqiang took Ye Qingxue and walked all the way toward his own residence.

Along the way, all the Disciples of the Gentleman Alliance who saw the two of them bowed respectfully.

Immediately after, they looked at the backs of the two, their faces revealing expressions of astonishment.

Elder Lin Xian'er, who had always been cold-natured and never interacted with any Cultivator of the opposite sex, was actually walking around inside the sect today for the first time ever.

And she was with Supreme Elder Wang Jianqiang?

Could it be that there was some story between these two?

As soon as this thought appeared, it was shaken away by the crowd.

Within the Gentleman Alliance, there were many stunning female Cultivators.

But almost all of them held high positions, were part of the Gentleman Alliance's decision-making layer, and were existences that many Disciples could only look up to from afar, not even daring to harbor the slightest bit of disrespect.

Only Lin Xian'er, whose appearance was almost not inferior to those powerful figures in the decision-making layer, and despite her strength and high status, did not make the crowd of Beast Taming Sect Disciples afraid to even think about her.

Therefore.

In the hearts of the vast majority of Gentleman Alliance Disciples, Lin Xian'er was their dream goddess.

Their attention toward Lin Xian'er was naturally far greater than that toward Dong Yue and the others.

These Disciples had heard more than once the rumors of Lin Xian'er refusing to let such-and-such Elder get close to her.

Even some Elders with stronger power and higher status could not obtain the slightest bit of favor from her.

Therefore, in the hearts of all the Disciples.

She was holy and inviolable, a holy goddess who would never yield because of someone else's status or power.

Although Supreme Elder Wang Jianqiang had a lofty status and remarkable achievements.

He certainly could not make Elder Lin violate her own principles.

The reason Elder Lin was following Supreme Elder Wang Jianqiang must be because there was official business to attend to.

Did you not see that when the two were walking, although the distance was close, there were no further actions?

Thinking of this.

The sense of loss in everyone's hearts, as if their beloved goddess had been snatched away, immediately vanished.

Wang Jianqiang did not know Lin Xian'er's status in the hearts of the Disciples, and naturally, he was also unaware of the thoughts in the Disciples' hearts.

Even if he knew, he would not care about these things.

After returning to the residence.

His footsteps paused, and he signaled to Lin Xian'er, "Follow me."

Seeing Wang Jianqiang walk toward a room, she was stunned for a moment.

It's just giving a Pill, wouldn't it be fine here?

Could it be that the Pill was kept inside the room?
