Chapter 2572: Ice Flame Continent 29

Editor: Henyee Translations

“In terms of cultivation, you cannot rely on personal achievements. Over the years, your progress has been stagnant, and considering your age, relying on further cultivation might not be a feasible strategy. Think about your father’s concerns. Joining the Medicine Sect could provide stability. It’s time to consider settling down, find a suitable partner, and alleviate your father’s worries,” the First Elder advised, attempting to persuade Kang Shi.

Gu Chaoyan discerned that the First Elder’s efforts were merely a façade. Deep down, he harbored dislike for Kang Shi. Recognizing Kang Shi’s perceived lack of potential, the First Elder believed this course of action to be the most favorable outcome for him.

Kang Yan, on the other hand, openly resisted, wearing an expression of disapproval.

The First Elder, with his advanced age, possessed experience and logic.

For the former Kang Shi, the First Elder’s advice might have held merit. Settling in the Medicine Sect could have offered a stable life. However, now that Kang Shi harbored Gu Chaoyan’s soul, his perspective had shifted drastically.

Kang Shi would not settle for mediocrity; the glory of the past would persist into the future.

Kang Yan feigned agreement, masking his true sentiments.

Kang Shi responded with a polite but firm smile. “I have not contemplated joining the Medicine Sect. Regarding marriage, I will discuss it with my father. Thank you for your concern, First Elder.”

“…”

“If there’s nothing else, I must return to my cultivation,” Kang Shi asserted, signaling his desire to leave.

“You’re making a grave mistake,” Kang Yan rebuked.

Despite the First Elder’s displeasure, he restrained himself. With the Clan Leader still in power, maintaining harmony was crucial; now wasn’t the time to disrupt it.

After Kang Shi left, the tension lingered.

The First Elder scrutinized Kang Yan and remarked, “Why the rush?”

“…”

“If Kang Shi is currently unwilling, it’s just a matter of time. His reluctance won’t change after the competition. Even his father won’t consent if Kang Shi remains unwilling,” the First Elder asserted confidently. “Patience is crucial in such matters. More haste, less speed.”

“…”

“Kang Shi is still young and headstrong, lacking the foresight for arrangements. Does his father not possess that skill? I’ll discuss this with his father,” the First Elder declared.

With that, he turned and departed, intending to address the matter later.

Meanwhile, Kang Yan remained in a daze.

Setting aside other concerns, the issue with Ziluo lingered in his heart.

With his father facing adversity, how could he find peace of mind?

Departing discontentedly, he vented his frustration on a few servants.

The First Elder reached the Clan Leader’s residence with a genial smile.

Being slightly older than the Clan Leader, the First Elder, in the past, had vied with the Clan Leader for leadership due to his inferior cultivation level.

“You must have heard about Shi’er’s situation. Although his cultivation has not progressed, there’s a positive development. He has acquired the skill of pill refinement. Joining the Medicine Sect would sidestep the impending competition, offering stability. If he excels in pill refinement, his standing in the clan could be quite favorable.”

“…”

“It’s a promising solution. What are your thoughts, Clan Leader?”

Kang Li met the First Elder’s gaze.

In the past, he would have welcomed and seriously considered such a suggestion. It was only natural to let Kang Shi go.

However…

Presently, he viewed the situation differently.

Kang Yan had married Ziluo, establishing ties with the Clan Leader of the True Martial Race behind the scenes.

Furthermore…

Over the last two days, he had learned some crucial information.
