In an exquisite pavilion on Phoenix Spirit Island, Xiao Yu and Divine Master Zhu were chatting amiably.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, you should take those female cultivators back with you. They're all women of the grasslands, and I'm afraid they won't adjust to life here," Xiao Yu said, somewhat amused.
When Xiao Yu learned that the Mulan People had actually sent him a group of more than a dozen young, beautiful female cultivators, he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The grassland people really were that blunt. Sending beauties to someone else's dual-cultivation ceremony-were they not afraid his Dao Companion would bear a grudge? Once she whispered into his ear on the pillow, they might gain nothing and instead find trouble arriving one thing after another.
"It's fine. They'll just help you with miscellaneous chores while learning a little about the cultivation system here. Since we Mulan People have settled in the Heavenly South, we'll certainly have to integrate into its broader society.
"These Foundation Establishment Stage female cultivators have decent aptitude. We hope to use them to establish ties with the Southern Heaven Cultivation World.
"Previously, the other fellow Daoists of the Heavenly South have held many prejudices against us and remained unwilling to accept us Mulan People in their hearts. You don't seem to share those views, Fellow Daoist Xiao, so I thickened my skin and came to ask this favor. I hope you'll look after them a little," Divine Master Zhu said openly.
"If that's all there is to it, I can arrange for them to join the Yue Alliance. As for how much they learn, that will be up to them." Seeing that the other man insisted, Xiao Yu thought it over and gave this reply.
"Well... all right!" Divine Master Zhu seemed somewhat reluctant.
