In the courtyard.
Jiang Ning stood beneath the tree, silently pondering.
The sudden turn of events today had greatly exceeded his expectations.
Whether it was Cao Bin suddenly coming to arrest people, Cao Rong making a move, or Shen Congyun's arrival, all of it had gone beyond what he had anticipated.
After a long while.
Having gone back over everything that had just happened, Jiang Ning shook his head to himself.
"At the root of it all, I'm still too weak! And I have no power or influence!"
"Thankfully, I gained the regard of an important figure like Shen Congyun."
"But what Wang Jin said just now was right too! Relying on others is ultimately no long-term path. In the end, one's own strength is what matters."
"And what Wang Jin said wasn't without reason either. Shen Congyun stepping in meant breaking the rules of Myriad Blossom Pavilion."
"If he's punished by Myriad Blossom Pavilion's headquarters and loses his imposing power, the Cao Family may not necessarily bow their heads as obediently as they did today."
Afterward.
He clenched his fist again. As his Blood Qi circulated, he sensed the state of his own body.
"If I want to grasp my own future and stop something like today from happening again, I have to strengthen myself as quickly as possible."
"I hope the help Master Wang gives me tomorrow will be good."
Immediately, he thought again of what Shen Congyun had said before leaving.
If he wanted to fully memorize the subsequent cultivation method of the Inner Alchemy Nourishing Life Skill, he had to go to Myriad Blossom Pavilion as soon as possible.
"I hope Pavilion Master Shen can give me some help as well," he murmured inwardly.
In the blink of an eye.
Night had arrived.
