Chapter 1335 - 359: Yuan Xuan: I Really Admire You_2
But my parents are no longer by my side now, is there anyone left whom I can trust?
No, there isn’t.
My brother is already dead.
Now, all I have left by my side are disciples crying for help, and their cultivation levels are rather weak. It’s impossible to expect these disciples to assist the Sect Leader at this moment.
These disciples themselves are in a state of barely being able to protect themselves, not to mention their family and friends.
They can’t be relied upon at this time.
It seems the only one I can rely on is myself, so perhaps I should sell off all the precious items. After selling all these things, maybe I can accumulate some wealth.
Yuan Xuan quickly thought it over, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She’s feeling incredibly upset inside; those who haven’t experienced such things might never understand this sense of despair. As a Sect Leader, she has to bear so many responsibilities that she doesn’t even have the chance to cry.
In front of the disciples, I am always the strongest presence, in front of them I seem like a deity descended from the heavens, and to them, I am like their parents, slowly taking care of them.
The key issue now is that I’ve lost money.
I’ve lost so much money.
Moreover, I chose to trust my brother, chose to believe that he would repay this money within a year.
"And what was the result? The result is that all these years I’ve still been stuck in the reality that there are no windfalls, I still put myself in a predicament, and I can’t blame anyone else for this."
She started rummaging through her belongings, thinking if she could find something valuable to sell. But while rummaging, she found a peculiar little thing that led her into a brief daze. She couldn’t immediately recall what it was, it just seemed somewhat familiar.
"What is this?" Her eyes were somewhat dull, and her dark circles have deepened due to immense recent stress.
And in her hand was a Jade Token, which seemed ordinary at first glance. But upon closer inspection, it seemed to reveal an image of a man, a shadow of a young lad.
Yes.
It’s him.
I remember now.
Yuan Xuan immediately stood up and went to the window, opened it, letting the sunlight shine on the entire Jade Token. The token emitted a gentle glow, looking like a life-saving treasure, but she was uncertain whether this life-saving treasure would save her or, like how she saved her brother years ago, choose to harm her.
"If there’s any trouble, you can crush the Jade Token to find me..."
"Yes."
"That’s what he told me back then."
"How long has it been past? Is it a year now? Or has it been two years, I can’t remember anymore."
"So, does what he said still count?"
As memories began to unfold, Yuan Xuan recalled Yuchi’s visage, but now felt extremely uneasy inside. The path of cultivation is not easy. Her thousands of years of cultivation has already proved this point. This path is filled with numerous ordeals, especially now that she’s reached the Nascent Soul stage, even more so.
Once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul stage, generally, they can no longer trust each other because they have reached a level of mutual competition. In this situation, cultivators would rather see each other perish, refusing to offer any help.
It’s not about selfishness, but about inability, because even the best elixirs, the best forces, all these things are tightly controlled. The resources left for these loose cultivators are only so much. So, with limited resources, fewer people definitely is better... Indeed, it’s infighting, but who doesn’t want to try their hand at a battle outside? But there’s no choice, it’s already firmly controlled by those truly powerful cultivators.
Want to cultivate? Sure. Come find me. Become my dog.
Yes, it’s that simple.
The world of cultivators is as cruel as the real world, filled with childish temperaments. But these childish temperaments, when really empowered by cultivation, become incredibly terrifying. Only those who have experienced it know just how horrifying it is!
Without absolute tranquility of mind, obtaining overwhelming power is extremely terrifying!!!
As for the contention over toys, it’s something that exists from childhood and placed within the cultivators’ world, it becomes the snatching of various resources, the snatching of various people. People are no longer special beings but rather akin to magic treasures, mere tools.
"So, is he also the same kind of person?"

"So, would he harm me too?"
"Would he?"
As she pondered, she began to laugh, as if she still had a choice?
There’s no choice left for me anymore, either temporarily abandon my sect to earn money in the lower three states, or choose to trust Yuchi at this moment.
