Chapter 504
by fanqienovelChapter 504: Returning to the Sect
As the powerful horn sound echoed, the enormous flying ship steadily landed at the dock.
The gangway automatically lowered, and the passengers disembarked in an orderly fashion.
Once all the passengers inside had left, the travelers waiting at the dock boarded the flying ship one by one.
Among them were Wang Chen, Meng Fei, and a dozen other children.
After receiving the sect’s decree, Wang Chen swiftly arranged all necessary affairs and booked the tickets.
This flying ship belonged to the Four Seas Trading Association, and even though Wang Chen was an inner sect disciple of the West Sea Sect, he still needed to purchase a ticket to board.
He had arrived on the sect’s flying ship, but the timing was inconvenient; unless he was willing to wait half a month, he had to pay out of pocket.
Considering it might not be convenient to travel with Meng Fei and the others on the sect’s flying ship, and due to time constraints, he decided to buy the tickets.
He booked five cabins in total; one for himself and the other four for Meng Fei and the others.
It was the first time for Meng Fei and his younger siblings to ride a flying ship, and they chattered excitedly with joy.
After settling them in, Wang Chen called Meng Fei into his cabin for a private conversation.
“This time I return to the mountain gate, I probably won’t come back again.”
Wang Chen said to the boy, “When we return, I plan to introduce you and your two sisters to the sect.”
Meng Fei stared in surprise and whispered, “What about the others?”
He did not ask which two sisters, knowing full well that Wang Chen valued him the most, along with his biological sister Meng Jiao Jiao and his second sister Meng Qing Qing.
He also understood that he and his two sisters had the best talents!
But leaving his other younger siblings behind was something Meng Fei genuinely struggled with.
He would never forget the days they all relied on each other through thick and thin!
“You three can go in first.”
Wang Chen smiled slightly and said, “As long as you are willing to work hard and make progress, it will be very easy to support your younger siblings later on.”
Meng Jiao Jiao and Meng Qing Qing both had Six Patterns root bones, making it very easy for them to join the West Sea Sect.
With such talent, no immortal sect would let them slip by.
And Meng Fei’s qualifications were unquestionable.
Additionally, there were three more who possessed Five Patterns root bones, all of whom were excellent cultivators.
They were also fully qualified to join the West Sea Sect.
However, Wang Chen felt that having all these children join the West Sea Sect at once would attract too much attention.
His plan was to first introduce Meng Fei to the sect, then, at the right time, let Meng Jiao Jiao and Meng Qing Qing in, and finally consider the others.
As for those with no cultivation qualifications, Wang Chen had also thought about how to arrange for them.
During this process, Wang Chen hoped Meng Fei would first establish himself and then create a supportive environment for his younger siblings.
He wanted them to stand confidently on their own rather than relying on him for everything.
This was also Wang Chen’s test and tempering of Meng Fei!
“I will definitely strive hard!”
Meng Fei clenched his fist firmly and assured Wang Chen with an unwavering tone, “I will guide my Younger Siblings into the sect!”
“I believe in you.”
Wang Chen smiled and said, “Remember your responsibilities.”
At that moment, the horn sound echoed once more, and the flying ship at the dock gradually rose under the influence of the formations.
It then swiftly flew towards the east.
After seven days and nights of flight, the flying ship of the Four Seas Trading Association landed outside Wailing City.
Upon disembarking, Meng Fei and the others followed Wang Chen into this outer sect city of the West Sea Sect. Like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, they found everything strikingly novel.
In terms of size, Wailing City still couldn’t compare to Daying City.
But compared to the fortified Daying City, the prosperous, stable, and affluent Wailing City was undoubtedly a true immortal city.
Its unique celestial aura was something Daying City could never match.
Not to mention, the spiritual energy here was much denser than in Daying!
Most importantly, the streets were teeming with cultivators, each handsome and beautiful, exuding an extraordinary presence. Their attire and demeanor made Meng Fei and the other children feel somewhat inadequate.
Seeing Meng Fei somewhat restrained, Wang Chen secretly found it amusing.
He really wanted to take out the memory stone to capture this moment.
Once this child of fortune gained momentum, he would soar like a dragon and charge like a tiger, unstoppable in his rise.
Wailing City was merely his new starting point!
Wang Chen first took them to the Xu family.
After a long separation, Xu Xinlan, upon seeing Wang Chen, rushed into his arms without regard for the presence of others or the maids.
She wept with joy!
Having grown accustomed to solitude, it was bearable, but after tasting the sweetness of love, the prolonged separation was particularly agonizing.
Wang Chen gently patted her back and softly comforted her.
Xu Xinlan, after all, was no ordinary woman; she quickly regained her composure, her cheeks flushing slightly.
Wang Chen didn’t mind this; he held her hand and introduced Meng Fei and the others.
The children, well-taught in manners, addressed her sweetly as sister or mistress, which made Xu Xinlan beam with delight.
Wang Chen asked her to arrange for the children to settle in the mansion first, and then…
He spent a tender moment with her before outlining his plans.
Meng Fei and his Younger Siblings were precisely the reinforcements Wang Chen had prepared for Xu Xinlan.
A child of fortune like Meng Fei was not someone even Xu Xinlan could claim as her own; not even Wang Chen had the qualification to take him under his wing.
Introducing him to the sect was the best choice.
As long as he remained grateful, it would be effortless to support the Xu family in the future!
Children with exceptional talents would naturally join the West Sea Sect, while those with lesser talents would stay within the Xu family to be nurtured.
With this bond continuously strengthening, Xu Xinlan would undoubtedly benefit.
By sowing a seed of goodwill now, they could reap a bountiful harvest in the future.
Xu Xinlan had never imagined that Wang Chen’s considerations were so far-reaching; she was stunned for a long time before coming to her senses.
She bit her lip, “My lord, will you leave again?”
Wang Chen’s arrangements clearly indicated he did not plan to stay for long.
“Not for now.”
Wang Chen sighed and said, “But the future is unpredictable; I must prepare in advance.”
He gently embraced Xu Xinlan, “Trust me; one day we will be together forever.”
Cultivators, especially those at higher levels, must not lightly make promises that involve karma.
Wang Chen was not using sweet words to deceive Xu Xinlan; he was determined to reach the upper realm but never intended to abandon her.
The first sword upon landing, to cut off the beloved?
Even wielding the Wise Sword, Wang Chen would not sever his emotional ties; he would ascend first and then return to bring Xu Xinlan with him!
However, Wang Chen increasingly felt the urgency of time.
Although the West Sea Spiritual Realm had not yet shown signs of the great Calamity approaching, Wang Chen knew he did not have much time left.
The problem was that he still had no clue about how to reach the upper realm.
He could only take it step by step!
