739: Chapter 223_2 739: Chapter 223_2 Furthermore, do you know why we came with so many people?
Because we must be prepared.
After we recruit disciples, we might be ambushed by the Demon Sect on our way back.
Those smaller Immortal Sects—their entire Sects combined don’t have as many experts as we do.
Even if they truly came, it’s not certain they could safely take someone away.
If you don’t want your daughter to join our Hundred Peaks Sect, then you can just wait.”
Although he hoped to have a new little sister disciple, he also knew the rules of the Hundred Peaks Sect could not be broken.
If they were broken once, what credibility would the Hundred Peaks Sect have?
What if others follow Liao Lao San’s example?
So, no matter what, they would not agree to Liao Lao San’s demands.
Upon hearing Little Beiyan’s words, Liao Lao San panicked and then shouted loudly, “You can’t do this!
The Grand Preceptor said you people of the Immortal Sects are supposed to protect us.
You must protect our family!”
To the side, Chang Tiance, who was watching Liao Lao San’s shameless antics, couldn’t help but yell out, “Don’t use the Grand Preceptor as leverage.
The Grand Preceptor is now in slumber.
Besides, even without the Grand Preceptor, our Hundred Peaks Sect has protected you.
When the Demon Sect attacked before, we in the Hundred Peaks Sect took action.
But we in the Hundred Peaks Sect cannot guard Jijiang City every day.
Moreover, the Demon Sect no longer easily targets mortals.
We have even less reason to guard this place now.
As for your family… Who are you to demand that we in the Hundred Peaks Sect specifically assign someone to protect you?
Your daughter has talent, indeed, but that’s just potential!
All of us present are at the Golden Core Stage, and who knows how many years it will take for your daughter to reach the Golden Core Stage!”
Meanwhile, Liao Lao San’s wife, seeing the immortals not agreeing to her husband’s conditions and even starting to turn around to leave, hurriedly called out, “Immortals, please wait a moment.
I am her mother, I agree, I agree to let my daughter join the Hundred Peaks Sect.”
She really didn’t want to hold back her daughter anymore.
Although she had hoped that her four sons could enter the Immortal Sects, since it was clear the Hundred Peaks Sect would not agree, it could only mean that her sons were not fated for immortal cultivation.
She had owed her daughter enough already.
Over the years, her daughter had not eaten or dressed well and even had to help her with all the hard labor every day.
She didn’t want to owe her daughter any more.
As soon as her words fell, Liao Lao San immediately wrapped one hand around the child and reached out with the other, violently pulling his wife towards him, causing her to stumble and glaring at her with anger as he yelled, “This house is not your place to speak, are you asking for a beating again?”
At the sound, the woman instinctively trembled in fear, but looking at her daughter next to her and feeling a pang in her heart, she bit her lipstick and raised her head to shout, “I’ve agreed!
Let her go to the Hundred Peaks Sect; I can’t hold her back or harm her anymore!”
“You’re asking for it!” Liao Lao San lifted an arm, but before he could bring it down, a figure suddenly sprang out and collided with his waist.
The unexpected impact caused him to stagger, nearly falling to the ground.
Regaining his balance, he saw it was Liao Youdi, who had hardly spoken a word, who had bumped into him.
“Little brat, are you rebelling?” Liao Lao San raised his hand.
Liao Youdi, however, stared fearlessly at her father and coldly said, “It’s not your turn to decide which Immortal Sect I choose.
I will join the Hundred Peaks Sect, and I will become an Immortal very soon and come down the mountain to see Mother.
If I find that you have mistreated Mother, I will make you pay.”
Despite her young age, the words Liao Youdi spoke were filled with chilling resolve and a strong self-confidence—a confidence in her own talent—that made it seem as if, after joining the Hundred Peaks Sect, she would not need many years before she could come down from the mountain.
Mi Lian’s face immediately showed delight upon hearing this, nodding repeatedly and saying, “Good, I believe that with your talent, you will definitely stand out in the Academy and enter into the various great peaks.
Moreover, if you wish to come down the mountain, you can come to me.
After consulting with your master, I can bring you down to see your mother.”
He paused for a moment, then hurriedly added, “I know that you’re afraid your father will harm your mother, but you don’t need to worry.
The Hundred Peaks Sect also has properties outside, including in Jijiang City. The source of thɪs content is novel[f]ire.net
We can arrange for your mother to work in one of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s light jobs.
We can even have someone here ensure your mother’s safety, so you don’t have to worry about her well-being.”
All the major Immortal Sects have properties in the mundane world, after all.
They would have surplus items from their own Sects, which are too numerous to use themselves and need to be sold.
Moreover, the disciples of the Immortal Sects sometimes require the mundane world’s currency for their needs.
In short, all the major Immortal Sects have their properties in the mundane world, and though they may be overseen by Immortals, it’s mortals who do the everyday work.
There are plenty of means available to those mortals to deal with a rogue like Liao Lao San.
