Chapter 278 Confidante
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Bai Rouyun was pleased with her decision, but she could not help but snort when she noticed how the rest of her travel companions from the Blue Water Institute were unhappy but dared not voice their dissatisfaction.
It was obvious that their displeasure was due to her decision of giving Mo Chu a luxurious room, and that the fourth one was left empty.
They all felt that they were the most suitable for those two rooms, and the Gu siblings were especially unhappy.
Although they were the direct target of Bai Rouyun’s anger, they had also suffered greatly, and Gu Xinxing was still hurt, so she should be given the best conditions possible for her recuperation, as her healing process was very important for their standing in the tournament.
Even if Bai Rouyun disliked them, they felt that she still had to consider the overall picture. She was from Canglan City and she should, naturally, wish for their results to be as good as possible.
"They seem to have a great misunderstanding of you."
Jiang Wei’s words landed by Bai Rouyun’s ear, and she looked back slightly to see the cheeky smile on the young man’s face.
She raised an eyebrow in amusement and smiled happily. "Isn’t it more fun like this?"
Although Bai Rouyun was usually willing to let others go, and not trouble herself with them, she felt rather frustrated recently.
Li Moyun had been gone for so long and she had gotten no message from him at all. Although it was common for cultivators to separate for long periods of time, she could not help but miss him.
Bai Rouyun had lived for so long, but she had never before known that loving someone would have such a great influence on her emotions, but she was not against these foreign feelings.
She knew very well that Li Moyun had to be waiting for her in the Wushi Continent, so the more she missed him, the more motivated she became in working hard.
This was also why she had gone to the center of the continent. To increase her strength, she needed to get her hands on the most beneficial resources.
Most pills were not suitable to continue consuming as it would influence one’s cultivation base, but there were still certain treasures which could be a great assist to her wish for rapid progress.
However, due to the low amount of heaven and earth essence in the air at the edges of the continent, these treasures could not appear there.
Almost everything of value to cultivators originated here from the center of the continent, and Bai Rouyun had been looking for a reason to travel here for a long time.
However, she understood her position well. Although her identity was that of the Madam of Eternal Shadow Palace, her strength was not enough to hold onto this seat easily.
While she did have guards to protect her, it was much better to depend on her own strength, not to mention that certain dangers could not be avoided.
If she had entered the center of the continent on her own, she would, without a doubt, be targeted by many factions and individuals who wished to use her for their own purposes, but now that she had appeared as a member of the Blue Water Institute group, they had to hold back.
As such, these members from the Blue Water Institute did not mean much to her. She was a part of their group for her own benefit, and although the tournament prizes were very good, she did not see any reason to struggle for something like this.
If she had a chance to win, she would naturally give it her all, but she had a great understanding of both her own, and the other experts’ strength.
While it was possible for her to fight those of a higher rank than her, there was a limit to how many levels she could jump in battle, and the experts that had arrived from the more prominent colleges were definitely above her current strength.
As for the group stage, that was even more impossible. The other experts in the Blue Water Institute team were useless in this battle, so she was not going to struggle to humiliate herself.
Since she had no fate with the prizes, there was truly no reason for her to fight hard for them, and instead she began to consider which other treasures she should go hunting for.
Jiang Wei was leaning against the wall and smiled happily as his arms were crossed over his chest. He could not help but chuckle as he looked at the mocking gaze of Bai Rouyun as she looked at the Gu siblings that were still pretending to be pitiful.
While she had never put her thoughts into words, he had a strange ability to understand her thoughts by merely looking at her eyes, and he shook his head happily as he began to imagine the facial expressions on the other team members when they found out the truth.
Bai Rouyun did not need to look closely to know that he understood her thoughts perfectly, and she could not help but grin happily.
Although Jiang Wei was very powerful, and his aura was somewhat oppressive, Bai Rouyun felt at ease around him. She did not feel the same kind of palpitating heart as she did when she thought of Li Moyun, but more to that of a confidante.
"Well, then, let us go to rest for a bit.. I will take you and Little Chu out to experience the brilliance of Xiumeng City tonight."
