Chapter 1338 - 359: Yuan Xuan: I Really Admire You_5
Others just want to curse, it’s just a matter of whether you’re worth cursing or not.
"Though Cuncha City is closer to my sect and doesn’t take much time to reach, I don’t know when Yuchi will arrive in Cuncha City. Perhaps I’ll have to wait a month, or maybe two. But either way, this is definitely the best solution I have right now. Otherwise, if he won’t help me, I might only be able to go to the lower three states."
"And if he’s willing to help me, then perhaps I’m willing to do anything, or rather, I shouldn’t say just anything, but finally, I can say I’ve lowered my head to cultivation. No matter how, it’s better than being watched by that group in the State Capital; they are truly disgusting and frustrating, making people want to vomit."
On the way to Cuncha City, the reason she had such thoughts was very simple. Somehow, there was an additional cultivator beside her. This cultivator was riding his sword from afar, following her. His face exuded a very arrogant confidence.
"How do they know my troubles? How do they know I’m short on money now? How do they know this is the best time to contribute? How do they know? It’s incomprehensible; I really can’t understand this, even though it’s clearly my own business. But why do they know? Why do they persuade me to join them?"
It’s quite distressing.
The nearby cultivator did not think this way. His idea was very simple; since Yuan Xuan is already lacking money, since she can’t maintain her sect anymore, and needs financial help, then there’s no problem. We have money here, just come and take our money, so he said nothing and simply followed her from afar.
Just waiting for her to speak up.
"So the problem is, why has it come to this, and she’s still stubbornly in denial, still thinks she can solve this issue?"
"You know, her damn brother already gambled all his assets away — such a large amount, gone in an instant, not even a bit left. This might be wealth accumulated over a millennium, and just like that, it’s gone. Such assets are shocking to talk about, yet she’s still thinking? Still thinking she can solve this issue? Impossible."
"In fact, some things aren’t as complicated as they seem. The first time, there might be resistance, but after doing bad things often, it becomes a habit. If you don’t become a bad person, how do you earn money? If you don’t earn money, how do you become a bad person?"
"So this is a vicious cycle. Wanting to be a good person, how’s that possible? There are no absolutely good people in this world; it’s all about interests. So if we can provide money, then we’re the good people, we’re your saviors, aren’t we? Then why reject us now? If you don’t listen to your saviors, who will you listen to?"

"I really can’t understand how you’re thinking about this matter."
"My God, how could anyone be helping you now?"
"And how would anyone dare help you now?"
"We’ve already stepped forward, we’ve already made a statement, we’ve already explained the situation to all the Nascent Soul cultivators. We want to get you, and you’re still seeking help from others, even if they have a deep relationship with you, but you’ll be harming them this way. After all, we’re quite ruthless; we don’t reason when we speak."
The cultivator thought more and became more perplexed, not understanding at all how she’s thinking now.
But there’s no problem, when the last straw is used up, Yuan Xuan will surely give up. At that time, this downcast and desperate cultivator will be easier for them to control. There are many above who like Yuan Xuan; first, make use of her, then wait for a day to push her out to die, that’s all.
"Oh beauty, cultivation is very cruel, more convoluted than the mortal world. If you can’t acknowledge even this, why are you cultivating?"
"Sigh."
"Disturbing."
So, this cultivator followed Yuan Xuan, the two arrived in Cuncha City, one after the other. After reaching Cuncha City, the cultivator didn’t understand why Yuan Xuan came here, was it desperation? Was she still hoping someone would help her? Impossible, no one would dare help her now, they don’t have the courage.
Yet, as usual, this cultivator remained silent, merely tagging along behind Yuan Xuan, wanting to see who she tries to seek help from in the end, wanting to see that final hopeful expression on her face, watching it vanish into dead calm and indifference. That expression of surrender that comprehends everything in the world is truly mesmerizing, just like women who finally bow to money... Oh, not just women, men’s dignity is trampled for money too.
