Chapter 416: My Peace of Mind Is My Home

Nalan Xinxin bit her red lips, not daring to look directly into Victor and Nalan Lengling’s eyes. She was afraid that the disappointment in her eyes would be discovered by them.

This disappointment was not only due to her sister knowing that Victor had destroyed the sect yet insisted on leaving with him. More importantly, it was because Victor had lied to her.

“I don’t know either. You should make the decision yourself…”

Nalan Xinxin shook her head helplessly. Her eyes were filled with tears. She looked pitiful and made people have the urge to bully her.

“Xin’er, this is the only time I want you to make the decision.”

Facing her weak sister, Nalan Lengling did not blame her. She just grabbed her hand, looked at each other, and were silent for a long time.

“You already have an answer in your heart, don’t you?”

“That’s true. However, if you wish for me to return home with you or stay in the Fire Sect, I will listen to your opinion.” As she spoke, the corners of Nalan Lengling’s mouth curled up, revealing a smile.

It was this smile that utterly convinced Nalan Xinxin.

She originally wanted to refuse. After all, they were enemies. However, Nalan Xinxin had never seen her smile so happily. This was the first time, and she did not want this to be the last.

Nalan Xinxin let go of Nalan Lengling’s soft hand. She turned to Victor and said, “Can you promise that you won’t let my sister down?”

“I can promise you. At the same time, I will promise your sister that I will never leave her.” Victor’s tone was very sincere. Nalan Xinxin had to believe him.

“If that’s the case, you can leave.” Nalan Xinxin sighed. She knew she could not persuade her to stay, so how could she bear to ruin Nalan Lengling’s mood?

“Then what are you going to do? Stay here? Or go back to our family?”

“I won’t go back. Our family is like a cage to me. I escaped from it with great difficulty, and I don’t want to go back. So, I plan to stay in the Fire Sect. If you fail my sister in the future, I will bring the Fire Sect to besiege you!” Nalan Xinxin revealed a rare look of determination on her face, surprising Victor.

All this time, Victor’s impression of Nalan Xinxin had always been that she was an opinionless and hateful person. Though now, it seemed that she had just been overly protected and did not have a bad nature.

“That’s good too. I’ll come back often to visit you.”

Nalan Lengling nodded and held Nalan Xinxin’s hand. The both of them slowly stood up and hugged each other.

Seeing this scene, Victor pursed his lips as he felt a lump in his throat. He wanted to go forward to hug the sisters, but he was verbally warned by Nalan Lengling.

“It’s just that the current Fire Sect has become the target of public criticism. Without a nascent soul realm cultivator holding down the fort, coupled with the need to re-nurture the souls in the Rose Sword, what the Fire Sect will face next may be even more terrifying than hell. To be honest, you shouldn’t stay here.” Victor’s analysis seemed to be more reasonable, right now, the elders of the core formation realm disciples of the Fire Sect were either dead or injured. There were only two existences that could fight against nascent soul realm cultivators. One of them had killed himself, while the other had been stolen by Victor. How could the others let go of such a great opportunity?

Therefore, for now, the best option was probably to leave.

“It doesn’t matter. I’m already prepared.”

Nalan Xinxin shook her head and smiled, she said, “Sister has always been my goal and the person I admire the most. So, I want to become a strong person like my sister who can take care of herself. Sister said that if I want to become a strong person, I have to go through trials and tribulations.

“Indeed, it seems that the Fire Sect is full of dangers, but what if I survive?” Nalan Xinxin’s smile was very optimistic. “If I survive, I can grow.”

Having said that, Victor knew that no matter what he said, it was meaningless. Hence, he only left behind a few words of entrustment.

“Take this waist token with you. If anything wrong happens, don’t force yourself and leave this place immediately. Go to the Eastern Plains. When the time comes, the waist token will guide you in the right direction.

“In addition, keep these medicinal pills to assist in your cultivation techniques. You can quickly cultivate and breakthrough. If you’re talented, you can advance to the core formation realm within half a year.”

This time, Victor had invested a lot of capital.

Not only had he imparted the Divine Tree Building technique to Nalan Xinxin, but he had also given her precious pills worth ten million spirit stones. People who were interested in them and even Victor were reluctant to eat them and had kept them until now.

However, thinking about it carefully, there was only so much Victor could do.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony with you. But don’t worry, I’ll return them to you when I soar to great heights in the future!”

Nalan Xinxin took the cultivation method pills and put them away in satisfaction. Although Victor and Nalan Lengling were not official yet, this did not stop Nalan Xinxin from accepting the gifts.

Moreover, she indeed needed to raise her strength as soon as possible. With the foundation establishment realm, it would be difficult for her to achieve great things.

“Alright, you guys should leave quickly.” Nalan Xinxin waved her hand and urged Victor and Nalan Lengling to leave.

“If you don’t leave now, it will be difficult to leave when the Central Plains Sect Alliance comes after us.”

“Xin’er…”

Nalan Lengling looked at her sister who was burying her head in silence. Her eyes turned even redder. “It will be difficult to see you again after we leave…”

“Who said that? As long as my sister wants to see me, I will go and find her even if I have to risk my life.”

“Good… That’s good.”

Nalan Lengling nodded and said nothing else.

Seeing this scene, Victor knew that it was time for him to make a move.

He rushed down and pulled Nalan Xinxin into his arms before Nalan Lengling shed tears.

This move instantly blushed Nalan Xinxin’s face. She stuttered and pushed Victor away, saying, “You, you, you! What are you doing!”

“Nothing. I’m just comforting you.”

“Go, go, go! I don’t need your comfort!” Nalan Xinxin glanced at Victor and threw herself into Nalan Lengling’s arms.

“It’s enough for my sister to comfort me. What’s wrong with you?”

“Tsk, treating my kindness as malicious intents. Alright, you can hug for a while. We need to leave soon.”

Victor picked Nalan Xinxin up like a chicken and put her aside.

“Remember this, where your peace of mind lies is where your home is. If your heart wants to stay here, then this is your home.”

“My peace of mind… is my home… I got it.”

Nalan Xinxin stopped smiling and nodded.

“Alright, we’re leaving. You don’t have to see us off. You should cooperate with the others to find the survivors and discuss how to rebuild the Fire Sect. See you later!”

“Okay… Goodbye, sister. Goodbye, Wang Cheng…” Nalan Xinxin waved her hand with a smile on her face. She watched as Victor and Nalan Lengling left the sect arm in arm.
