<h4>Chapter 430: Unwilling to Part</h4>


    Tears welled up in her eyes as Lian Hua’s voice choked with sobs. She threw herself into Victor’s embrace and cried out loudly, “But why? Why do I feel so ufortable…”


    “Alright, alright…” Victor rubbed Lian Hua’s head and poured a wave of soul power into it, stabilizing Lian Hua’s crumbling emotions.


    “Don’t cry anymore. Since you’ve already made up your mind, you shouldn’t cry because of them. Don’t worry, I’ll be by your side no matter what.”


    Victor could more or less understand Lian Hua’s thoughts. She hated the master of the Xiao family, which was also what her father had done to her. She also could not ept the fact that they were both that person’s children. However, the treatment she received was vastly different from Xiao Chenggan’s.


    However, Lian Hua was too kind. Even though she had suffered such treatment, she still could not convince herself topletely sever her ties with the Xiao family. Therefore, today, she forced herself to reveal her true self… she forced herself to recall memories that she did not want to recall. She forced herself to say words that went against her heart.


    “You’ve really done your best… Lian Hua, leave the rest to me…”


    Hearing this, Lian Hua nodded. Feeling the warmth in her chest, she finally stopped crying.


    On the other end, Nn Lengling brought Ping An back to the tavern.


    “Sister… Master…”


    “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine. As long as he wants to leave, Xiao Chenggan won’t be able to stop him.”


    Nn Lengling was very familiar with Victor’s strength. She knew all of his trump cards and abilities.


    It was also because of this that Nn Lengling suddenly felt that she was so insignificant.


    All along, Nn Lengling had thought that as long as she worked hard to cultivate, she would be able to stand by Victor’s side and fight alongside him.


    However, when Nn Lengling saw Xiao Chenggan today, she understood how important talent was.


    As both of them were at thepletion stage of the core formation realm, it was not an exaggeration to say that Nn Lengling could not evenst ten rounds in front of Xiao Chenggan, but Victor could easily resolve it and even counterattack.


    This caused Nn Lengling to feel a great sense of defeat.


    Fortunately, she was not the kind of person who could not recover from a blow.


    Nn Lengling began to reflect. Other than the difference in talent, how inferior was she whenpared to Victor and Xiao Chenggan?


    Although the Fire Sect’s cultivation method was not as powerful as the Xiao family’s soul method, this did not mean that the Fire Sect’s cultivation method was not up to par. Moreover, the strength of the cultivation method could not be defined as strong or weak, it all depended on the user’s proficiency.


    A fire technique that was cultivated to perfection might not necessarily be weaker than the soul technique. In the end, it was all because of Nn Lengling.


    “I still haven’t worked hard enough…”


    Nn Lengling sighed softly as a hint of disappointment shed across her eyes.


    Indeed, her cultivation was the highest among the three of them. However, in reality, her strength was not as good as Victor’s and her talent was inferior to Lian Hua. Just based on her status as a member of the Xiao family in the Southern ins, Lian Hua’s future achievements might not be inferior to Nn Lengling’s.


    Therefore, what she could do was to do her best to make up for her shorings.


    As her thoughts surged, Nn Lengling did not notice that Victor had already returned with Lian Hua.


    “What are you thinking about?” Victor walked up to Nn Lengling.


    “Nothing… nothing.”


    Nn Lengling hurriedly stood up when she heard this. She revealed a smile and continued, “Has it been settled?”


    “Yes, Xiao Chenggan gave up. He probably has some reason as to why he can’t be injured and must maintain his peak condition. He didn’t choose to fight with me. As for Ping An, Xiao Chenggan will give me a satisfactory answer to your matter.”


    “Thank you, master…”


    Ping An nodded, aplicated look shing in his eyes.


    To be honest, if it was possible, Ping An naturally hoped that Victor would be able to kill Xiao Chenggan and avenge his mother.


    However, he understood that his master could not do that either. Although he had never heard of the Xiao family, he could tell from Victor’s tone that the Xiao family was not a force to be trifled with. Therefore, since Victor was able to make them retreat, Ping An was already very satisfied.


    “Master, I want to cultivate!” Ping An raised his head and looked at Victor with his bright eyes. He was more determined nowpared to his previous cowardice.


    “If you’re willing to learn, then I’ll teach you. However, before that, I’ve made a decision that requires the three of your consents.” Victor looked around and confirmed that Lian Hua and Nn Lengling had no objections, he continued, “I’ve decided to send the three of you back to the Eastern ins’ Green Dragon Sect. To be honest, at this point, the three of you staying here will only be a burden for me. Of course, I can keep you in the Small World, but this isn’t a foolproof n. Moreover, what I’m going to do next is fraught with dangers. If you stay by my side, you’ll only be my weakness.”


    Victor had been wanting to do this for a long time. After all, although Lian Hua and Nn Lengling could protect themselves. However, Victor’s enemies could not be defeated with a core formation or spiritual pedestal realm cultivation.


    If anything happened, Victor was afraid that something would happen to the two girls.


    In addition, now that there was an extra person who did not even have the strength to bind a chicken, Victor’s actions would more or less be affected.


    For example, if Nn Lengling and Ping An were not present, Victor would not hesitate to anger Xiao Chenggan and fight with him. On one hand, he wanted to understand Xiao Chenggan’s strength. On the other hand, he wanted to help Lian Hua.


    Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Victor finally made up his mind.


    After all, the Fire Sect matter had been resolved. The Central ins Sect Alliance of the Central ins could not spare any effort to deal with Victor. Against the Green Dragon Sect, his identity as a traitor could be abandoned.


    As for what would happen next, the Central ins Sect Alliance of the Central ins, the Xiao family of the Southern ins, the Western ins, and the Northern ins, it would be easier for Victor to do it alone.


    However, regarding this, the two women and Ping An’s attitudes were very united.


    “I refuse, Victor. You said that you’ll always bring me along!” Lian Hua looked at Victor with tears in her eyes.


    “Victor, do you think that our strength is too weak and will cause trouble for you?”


    “Master, you haven’t taught me how to cultivate yet. I… don’t want to leave.”


    “You have no room to refuse.” Victor shook his head. This scene was within his expectations.


    “Lian Hua, you said that you wanted me to bring you back to the Southern ins and send you home, right? But now, you’ve already severed your rtionship with the Xiao family of the Southern ins. There’s no point in continuing to travel together. Moreover, what you need now is a stable environment. With your talent, when you truly grow up, you might not be inferior to me.


    “And you, Lengling, although you’ve already advanced to thepletion stage of the core formation realm, you still feel as though you’re not enough. The reason is very simple. The quality of your core is not good enough.”
