Let flames purify everything?
Xu Le's mouth twitched. Good grief, were young people these days all this reckless?
Just like that, she had elevated flames to heights they did not belong at-unprecedented heights, at that...
"Actually, under normal circumstances, we can set our sights a little lower when we're starting out."
Chi Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"So the goal is too lofty, rather than wrong? The direction is correct?"
Xu Le frowned slightly. From what he currently knew of Chi Xiao, with her stubborn personality, once she knew her path was correct, she would probably grind away at it to the bitter end.
"Uh..."
"Looks like it is correct." Seeing Xu Le hesitate, Chi Xiao immediately understood what he was worried about.
"Don't worry. Perhaps I seem a little stubborn to you, but I shouldn't be too stupid when it comes to cultivation. I know what I should do."
"You're too modest... If you count as stupid when it comes to cultivation, there aren't any smart people in this world."
"No. Sometimes, one crucial hint matters more than years of arduous cultivation."
Chi Xiao's control over her power had actually already reached its limit, but without Xu Le's guidance, she would probably have needed many years of exploration to set foot on the path of rules.
At the very least, it could not have been as simple as eating and drinking, the way her previous level increases had been.
Unsure whether Chi Xiao had shaken off her stubborn fixation, Xu Le instinctively asked:
"Then where do you think your rules should begin?"
"With flames being able to burn wood..."
Chi Xiao had no intention of getting stuck in a dead end. That was good.
"That's pretty good. Are you planning to leave, then?"
Chi Xiao smiled, then shook her head.
