Chapter 568: Problems with the Primordial Crystal Mine

Below the veil, s.h.i.+ Huidi seemed to be frowning. Wei Liangyue, are you actually unaware or just pretending not to know that problems have occurred with the primordial crystal mine Iridescent Sect and Heavenly Law Sect have been collaborating on?

What problems? Ning Shu was sincerely curious. She was a naive young maiden that didnt step out the doors of the ladys chambers, so she really hadnt heard about what happened.

s.h.i.+ Huidi took in Ning Shus expression, then laughed bitterly. The output of the primordial crystal mines are very low. Iridescent Sect and Heavenly Law Sect suspect each other of secretly taking some of the harvest for themselves, so theres no way for the collaboration to continue. With what happened with Junior Brother Xie, Iridescent Sect currently cant take any more hits, so the collaboration must continue. Our Iridescent Sect has great need of cultivation resources.

Ning Shus eyes widened in realization. So basically someone was embezzling. She had a feeling that Heavenly Law Sect was probably the side that was doing this. They were probably doing this to cause trouble for the Iridescent Sect because one of Iridescent Sects disciples obtained the celestial residence.

It was very likely that Old Man Wei was the one behind this.

So now the sect leader of Iridescent Sect had personally made a visit to re-negotiate the collaboration and even brought s.h.i.+ Huidi along. Ning Shu looked towards s.h.i.+ Huidi. Your sect leader intends?

The collaboration has to continue, and to express both sects sincerity, a marriage is the best way. s.h.i.+ Huidis voice contained unconcealable sorrow.

Oh So they were trying to marry s.h.i.+ Huidi off to Wei Liangyue again? What a troll of a storyline.

After she went through all that trouble to finally break off the engagement, they were back on the path of getting engaged. Ning Shu could tell that s.h.i.+ Huidi really didnt want to get engaged with Wei Liangyue.

Oh. Forgive my blunt speech, but if youre not willing, why dont you just say it? asked Ning Shu.

s.h.i.+ Huidi looked towards Ning Shu coldly and replied, Not everyone has a father like yours that would tolerate your willfulness. I grew up in Iridescent Sect since I was a child. Since Im not strong enough, my only choice is to listen to the sects arrangements to repay the sect.

This is the sadness that those who are born women have to deal with. I dont want to become a tool that others can use as they please. Sadness filled s.h.i.+ Huidis eyes.

Ning Shu:

She curled her lips in disdain without saying anything.

What? You dont agree with what I said? asked s.h.i.+ Huidi sharply when she saw Ning Shus disagreement.

Ning Shu shrugged. Since you dont want to be controlled by others, why not leave Iridescent Sect?

Leave Iridescent Sect? Thats easier said than done. Ive grown up in Iridescent Sect since I was a child. I owe the sect leader a lot. s.h.i.+ Huidis voice turned even colder.

Ning Shu said mildly, If I were you, Id leave Iridescent Sect. Since you dont want to be controlled, then youd definitely have to live through even more suffering. This is the price of leaving home to make ones way in the world. But you cant bear to part with Iridescent Sects resources and the status that the sect gives you, can you? Since Iridescent Sect has given you so much, of course you have to make sacrifices for the sect. Everything has a price, nothings perfect.

Ning Shu was a little fed up with this. Perhaps in the original storyline, s.h.i.+ Huidi didnt love Xie Yu that much either. Back then, when Xie Yu crashed the wedding, s.h.i.+ Huidi had probably weighed her options before choosing Xie Yu.

In plain terms, s.h.i.+ Huidi was just someone who liked to make herself suffer and always acted like as if she was going through some enormous suffering that no one else could understand.

Dont worry, I wont get engaged with you, said Ning Shu mildly as she moved to walk past s.h.i.+ Huidi.

s.h.i.+ Huidi stared blankly at Ning Shus back for a moment, then she seemed to lose control slightly as she cried, You dont understand at all! Your father dotes on you, so you have no idea what my life is like at all!

Ning Shu left without even bothering to look back.

When Old Man Wei came and asked Ning Shu if she wanted to get engaged with s.h.i.+ Huidi, Ning Shu rejected the idea firmly. She didnt want to get engaged with s.h.i.+ Huidi. If the original host decided something different after he came back, that was his choice.

Ning Shu told Old Man Wei that she wanted to go travel and train.

The moment Old Man Wei heard that, he was gratified and worried at the same time. He didnt want to let his son go, but it occurred to him that his son would probably stay timid his entire lifetime if he didnt get to see the world for himself and mature.

Ning Shu had thought about things carefully before deciding on this. Constantly training without taking a step outside wasnt very effective, so she decided to join team Hunt Xie Yu Down.

In the end, Old Man Wei agreed to let Ning Shu head out to train. Ning Shu asked Old Man Wei, What are you guys going to do about Iridescent Sect?
