Chapter 247
"However, the Liuyun Sect is ultimately a top tier sect, and its disciples are bound to feel superior. It’s not uncommon for people from other sects to lodge themselves at the Liuyun Sect, and sometimes even sects with their own academies would compete to lodge their disciples there. Overall, considering various factors, if the children were to stay at Liuyun Sect, I’m afraid it would be difficult to accommodate them all..."
Huo Lian said this and added, "It’s not that there’s anything particularly bad about Qian Ding Sect, but ultimately Liuyun Sect is recognized as the number one sect in the Immortal Cultivation World. Even though you are familiar with the Sixth Elder, he is still the Sixth Elder, and aside from having many affairs, there are many people whose position is above his. If you offend someone you shouldn’t, the Sixth Elder may not be able to guarantee the children’s safety."
Chen Muxue listened to his analysis, and it seemed to make some sense, causing her to furrow her brows in thought.
Mentioning Liuyun Sect, she found herself quite tempted. After all, she’d once made pizza—oops, I mean Heavenly Heart Jade Clear Pill for Liu Lingshi. She wondered how Liu Lingshi was now; if his condition had improved, she’d be Liu Quan, that is, the benefactor of the Liuyun Sect’s leader, right?
But, such a large sect like the Liuyun Sect could not be controlled by just one person. Even the Sect Leader would have to be cautious, much like how modern corporations have a board of directors behind the CEO.
Furthermore, beyond what Huo Lian mentioned, Liu Lingshi is an essential factor she must consider since she was the original book’s first female lead. If Xiao Feng were to get caught up with her and encounter the children, wouldn’t it be dangerous? It’s important to remember Xiao Feng surely hates Qian Ding Sect a lot after Fei Xing Sect attacked Qian Ding Sect.
Thinking of Xiao Feng, Chen Muxue actually silently crossed off Liuyun Sect.
Huo Lian continued, "Moreover, the disciples of Liuyun Sect, more or less, are all naturally gifted. In any other sect, they would be the focal point. Wanting to place the children who’ve always grown up freely among a few people at Qian Ding Sect into the Liuyun Sect, there’s bound to be a mental gap. The stringent rules at Liuyun Sect might be hard to adapt to right away."
When visiting as guests, one doesn’t feel the rigor of Liuyun Sect’s rules, but if lodging under their protection, they must comply with the rules like the disciples do. Lin Qing doesn’t have to worry about her level of Cultivation, plus being the Inner Chamber Disciple of someone unreliable like the Sixth Elder, but if placed before other elders, she’d also have to be honest and obedient.
Chen Muxue couldn’t help but ask, "Then, according to Young Master Huo, is there an academy suitable for them?"
Changgui felt extremely anxious. If there wasn’t one, he was willing to go to Liuyun Sect, as it was the top sect. Even if it was difficult to adapt at first, he would strive for it.
The other three children weren’t too concerned and had already started daydreaming. Xiaohua even had the urge to run away, but facing Chen Muxue’s gaze, she reluctantly pulled back her already extended leg.
"Well... I’m not trying to boast, but my Huo Family Academy seems quite suitable for the children," Huo Lian said, cupping his hands.
"Although the Huo Family is a mortal merchant family, because we are in the business of Elixirs, everyone places great emphasis on Cultivation. But ultimately, it is a family, and not everyone has a Spirit Root. Therefore, the academy mixes ordinary academic courses and cultivation courses, allowing the children to choose whatever courses they like," Huo Lian said, his eyebrows dancing.
