Chapter 2139 - 2139: Rejection 2

Normally, the disciples would receive missions directly from the elders, and refusal was a rarity. It was even more uncommon for someone to outright decline and express a desire to focus on personal cultivation and journey into the mystic realm.

In the span of a few seconds…

A heavy silence descended upon the room.

Di Hongyun’s gaze settled on his junior sister, whose expression was resolute, as though she harbored a strong aversion to the proposed task. Once again, a pang of disappointment crept into his heart.

This marked the second instance.

The first had been when the disciples tasked with obtaining the Green Sun Grass had failed to return. During that ordeal, she had exhibited little concern, seemingly detached from the safety of her fellow disciples. Now, with numerous members of the Supreme Sect having gone missing, possibly due to the influence of the Undead Race, her junior sister appeared nonchalant, showing no inclination to involve herself.

At times, he found himself utterly perplexed by the nature of his junior sister.

Her compassion had shone brilliantly when she had rescued them, yet her current indifference felt as chilling as cold blood.

This newfound detachment in his junior sister unsettled him.

Di Hongyun remained silent.

The Elders of the Supreme Sect exchanged meaningful glances, quietly sharing their thoughts.

Gu Chaoyan’s refusal had taken them all by surprise.

Elder Lin, in particular, was profoundly astounded. In her perception, this disciple had always possessed a mischievous yet determined demeanor. A sharp tongue was balanced by a gentle heart. A case in point was when she had declined involvement with the Weapon Refining Sect, only to eventually offer assistance when needed, much like her interaction with the Medicine Sect.

How could her demeanor turn so icy?

His thoughts drifted to the sword acquired from the Weapon Refining Sect.

Elder Lin maintained a patient tone, “You needn’t fret over the mystic realm. With the plight of our Supreme Sect’s disciples, the sect will undoubtedly prioritize locating the missing members. The arrangements for the mystic realm will be appropriately handled, ensuring you don’t miss your chance to enter. Furthermore, once you step within the realm, the acquisition of treasures depends on luck rather than your cultivation level. Your strength won’t determine your success in obtaining them. Are there any objections to

Reliant on chance?

In essence, there was a possibility she might not secure the One Origin Grass?

Upon absorbing Elder Lin’s explanation, Gu Chaoyan’s countenance didn’t brighten; instead, it darkened.

The One Origin Grass was essential, the only salvation for Huaijin.

“Any objections?” Noticing Gu Chaoyan’s silence, Elder Lin reiterated.

The remaining disciples craned their necks, all curious about the capacities of this newly inducted disciple who had prompted the Elders to assign her this task and were now coaxing her into acceptance.

Collecting herself, Gu Chaoyan finally responded, “I have no objections.”

Elder Lin nodded approvingly. “Very well, then prepare your belongings at home. We depart for Xuhai City tomorrow.”

The disciples respectfully bowed and exited.

The Elders observed their departure in silence.

“She’s merely a recent addition to the peak of the Martial God Realm. Despite her two impressive mission completions, she’s still at that stage. Why insist on sending her?” mused one of the Elders from the Fist Faction. “And her True Spiritual Root, though rare, showcases limited potential. It’s likely she’ll remain confined to the Martial God Realm for this lifetime. Witnessing a True Spiritual Root cultivator ascend to the Paragon Realm is unprecedented.”

The Elder of the Fist Faction said in confusion..
