That was precisely why Feng Jun felt that if he could repay Little Celestial Master's favor with a Foundation-Nourishing Pill, he truly did not want to take her into Luohua Manor.
At the same time, however, he smiled and said, "I do want to bring you into Luo Hua, but honestly... would Azure Mountain let you go?"
"Right now, the Buddhist School is flourishing. The branches of the Daoist Order can only rise again if they advance together. One flower alone does not make spring; when a hundred flowers bloom, spring fills the garden... Azure Mountain's future prosperity will depend on you, Little Celestial Master."
His words were quite stirring, but although Little Celestial Master acted unconventionally, she was not stupid.
She asked bluntly, "You're worried that if you take me in, Azure Mountain will demand cultivation resources from Luo Hua, aren't you?"
Seeing how direct she was, Feng Jun simply answered clearly, "Then let me ask you this: Little Celestial Master, can you really abandon Azure Mountain's lineage?"
Tang Wenji had no answer. Daoists cultivated themselves rather than their next lives, but the Daoist Order still placed great importance on its lineage.
In the end, she could only smile and comfort herself. "It seems my aptitude is still worthy of catching Master's eye."
Your aptitude really isn't that impressive! Feng Jun's brow lifted slightly.
But in the end, he chose to be decent. Smiling, he nodded. "Yes. Mainly because Azure Mountain has such a great foundation, while Luohua Manor is a small household. We really can't afford to support you."
His words were polite, but Little Celestial Master had already seen his dismissive attitude and could not help feeling resentful.
Yet she could not voice that resentment. "Can I enter your Little Tower and cultivate for a few days?"
