Chapter 62: Useful
Lan Ming closed her eyes as she felt a change in soul. It was as something was Awakening in her and elevating her soul to higher stages. It was a weird yet comforting feeling.
It didn't take long for her to realise what was happening and her hands trembled understanding it. A shiver of shock ran through her body as she thought.
'Nascent Soul! I have Awakened my Nascent Soul, how is that possible? I'm barely in Early-Stage Core Formation Realm and before Nascent Soul Realm, it's impossible to awaken your Nascent Soul. Then how come I have Awakened my Nascent Soul? How does this even make sense?'
She was in such a shock that she didn't even listen to what Shen Yu was saying. However, his voice soon broke her reverie.
"Hmm, are you alright? Ming'er?"
"Ah! Yes, I was just thinking about your words... they're really Profound and helped me a lot. Thank you, Master Shen."
Shen Yu chuckled and again petted her red head. He said, rubbing her head.
"It's all fine as long as you are good. If you understand my words then you should know that you shouldn't feel guilty for traitors who betrayed you. It doesn't matter what their motive was, they had betrayed you."
Ning Xi on the sides nodded and said.
"He's right. I mean, tell me, would you forgive the people who killed your whole family, if it was under the so called righteousness?"
Lan Ming looked at Ning Xi and could sense bitterness in her words, as if she was saying that with experience. Knowing that Ning Xi was worried about her, she got a warm feeling in her heart. Her gaze then swept past Xiao Lan and Ying Yue, and they both smiled at her. Even Xiao Lan who didn't smile often was offering her rare smile because she wanted to show her that she was with her.
Shen Yu smiled and said.
"See? You already have a new family so you should now look at your future. We'll always be there to support you. That's why I'm making such a big family, you know. And you are now a part of that family, or do you have a problem with that?"
"Ah! No, of course not. I will be more than happy to join your family but...."
Lan Ming instantly got flustered and waved her hand in front of her face. However, then she looked at Song Junwan and pursed her lips.
"I am still a part of Wine Flower Sect and until the Sect Leader makes any decision, I can't say anything for sure. However, I'm pretty sure she will agree to this agreement."
"That's great. I've seen her vitals and she is recovering rapidly and should be able to regain consciousness. We'll ask her then. Well, let's go, we should let her rest. Though, I'll stay here for a bit to help her Soul recover effectively. You can go, I'll join you guys in a few minutes."
Lan Ming nodded and after glancing at Song Junwan one last time, left the room with others. They didn't go elsewhere and settled themselves on the ground floor. They all sat on sofas facing each other and Xiao Lan began to prepare them the tea.
Ning Xi looked at the tea and then at her wine gourd, she seemed reluctant to put it away but making her decision, she put it away and picked up the tea cup.
They didn't start the conversation but enjoyed the calm atmosphere and delicious tea. However, Lan Ming was drinking rather slowly as if something was going in her mind.
Finally, she asked, looking at Ning Xi.
"Sister Ning, Master has destroyed a whole Sect, would that cause any problems?"
Ning Xi raised an eyebrow and asked.
"You're really worrying over a man who had casual destroyed a whole damned sect? Even if those Four Major Sects combined their forces, they wouldn't be able to stand against him. Though that's a different matter if they had help from Holy Lands. I won't comment on that."
"It's not about whether they can do anything or not. It's more about how troublesome they would be to him. Even a mosquito is powerless against mortal humans but even they are irritating. I've already disturbed Master's peace and I don't want more people to trouble him because of me."
Lan Ming shook her head and said. Ning Xi understood her point and shrugged.
"You shouldn't worry for the Federation as I'll handle it, however it's only till the day you guys reveal yourself as this sect members. Then, the situation will get heated. Till then, you're all safe from federation side since I'll give the data I want to give them."
"Thanks, brute. Although you're a muscle head, you're proving to be quite useful for Master."
Ying Yue sipped her tea and said, looking at Ning Xi who had put her legs on the table. Obviously, Ying Yue didn't like such actions and combined with how Ning Xi always acted, Ying Yue didn't like her at all. In her opinion, Ning Xi was the last person who deserved her master's benevolence. If she could, she would have thrown her out of the sect however, she couldn't do that because it was Shen Yu who took Ning Xi in.
Ning Xi as usual just laughed it off and said.
"Atleast I'm good at something."
Seeing such a strange interaction, Lan Ming was speechless and decided to ask the only person who wasn't glaring at each other, Xiao Lan.
She went closer to her and asked.
"What happened between the two of them?"
Xiao Lan looked at the two ladies in interest as her eyes shined in excitement. She then answered her question.
"It's because Senior Sister Yue didn't like the fact that junior Sister Xi wants to dominate Master in bed."
Hearing her straightforward answer made Lan Ming's face flush as she looked away. It was then she caught onto something and asked Ning Xi.
"But sister, what about other Sects? I doubt they stay idle."
"What can they even do? They'll search and search, finding nothing."
