As soon as Nangong Ruoshui said this, Zhong Shenxiu's previously relaxed brow furrowed once more.
That was right—Su Shi'er was currently traveling the world as a Confucian cultivator.
"Fellow Daoist, perhaps we should choose another—"
Before she could finish, she met Su Shi'er's resolute gaze.
He shook his head. "No need to worry. I already have a way to deal with this."
Zhong Shenxiu hurriedly asked, "What way?"
Nangong Ruoshui blinked as well, casting him a surprised look.
Even after she had made things this clear, Su Shi'er still intended to continue with the Three Trials of Heavenly Ascent. She truly had not expected that.
Not to mention the issue of his state of mind; in her view, it was simply unsolvable.
She could not help wondering what method the man before her had to resolve this problem.
"For this matter, I'll need Martial Sister Nangong's help," Su Shi'er said with a smile as he looked at Nangong Ruoshui.
Without a moment's thought, Nangong Ruoshui answered, "If there is anything this junior sister can do, Martial Brother, please speak freely."
"Though I have read some Confucian cultivation spells, they are, firstly, all rather rudimentary, and secondly, I have never practiced them.
Over the next few days, I hope Martial Sister can offer me some guidance."
Su Shi'er continued.
"This... spell cultivation is not something achieved overnight.
Martial Brother wishes to train for only a few days before challenging the second trial of the Three Trials of Heavenly Ascent. I'm afraid..."
Nangong Ruoshui immediately understood.
She spoke again and again, yet no matter how she looked at it, she did not think this method was feasible.
Su Shi'er smiled. "Martial Sister need only guide me. Whether I can pass smoothly or not, we will know once I try."
"So be it!
