CHAPTER 630: 630 DECISION

Luo Yinghui didn’t intend to do anything much, just wanted Tan Shaoting to see her attitude.

"I understand. But please pay attention to your methods.

The impression this fellow cultivator gave me just now was that he wanted to make a move."

"Fellow Daoist Luo, are we going to wait here all the time? Let’s come up with a plan. This isn’t a solution, is it?" Qiu Shangkun also walked over.

Now, even Ou Shifeng and Guo Shen Zhi, who had been watching the show, gathered around.

"Yeah, let’s discuss what to do? It’s not certain whether we can leave, but just sitting here isn’t realistic."

Luo Yinghui was also worried about this but truly didn’t know.

Jiang Xueyan had been watching from the side, finding Tan Shaoting more and more fascinating the longer she spent with him.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I think waiting here isn’t realistic. After all, there are dozens of us."

"I’m also troubled by what Fellow Daoist Guo said. Why don’t we act separately? After all, the Trial Tower hasn’t changed since we’ve been here.

If we just sit here and miss the chance to find a way out, then it would be a real loss."

Finally, the few people agreed, each choosing their own direction, which was the best.

"Let’s set off too."

Tan Shaoting was truly indifferent. Knowing they would return in a month and the Trial Tower would disappear by then, they would be transported out together.

So, at this time, taking the children to see more and experience more was a very rare opportunity.

The father and his three sons stayed at the back and would stop to study any spirit plants they hadn’t seen before, keeping track in their minds.

Though they wouldn’t stay here in the future, learning more while bored wasn’t a bad thing.

The Shushan Sect had the most cultivators left, so this team of theirs was really quite large.

Jiang Xueyan was still walking ahead of Tan Shaoting and would occasionally turn back to glance.

"Dad, why are we following them? It’s so boring this way."

"Qi Wen, you need to understand this is for our protection. Sometimes following the crowd is the best option."

"Dad, I don’t like it."

Tan Shaoting decided this time not to indulge the children and ensure they wouldn’t become socially isolated, though he didn’t like it either, he needed to judge the situation moderately.

"We’re about to leave, so we must follow the main group for this period."

Qi Wen nestled into her father’s chest with a grievance.

The one leading the team was Xing Chongshan. Even on the road without any discoveries, no one complained, eager to leave. This was not a place to stay.

Jiang Xueyan was ahead of the father and sons, and when gathering spirit plants, she would sometimes return to help the three children.

In actuality, the children were very sensitive. In the cultivation world, especially the three children who came here, they held a skeptical attitude toward others approaching them.

But they still greeted Jiang Xueyan politely.

Tan Shaoting said nothing about these things. The children would grow up, especially joining the Shushan Sect when they went out, encountering even more diverse people.

After ten days, everyone was disheartened; they hadn’t seen a First Rank demon beast. In the evening, everyone sat around together.

"This approach isn’t working, do you have any ideas?"

No one spoke up, because what could they do? People are like that; when they don’t have ideas and the idea-maker is wrong, all the blame gets shifted onto them.

"Mr. Tan, do you have any thoughts?"

Tan Shaoting was slicing meat for the three children when he heard Luo Yinghui’s question, "We’ve been walking for so long, not stagnantly, but there’s been no real change.

The only different thing in this secret realm is the Trial Tower, so I think we should return there.

This is just my opinion. If in three more days we still don’t find anything else, my sons and I will head back."

Having thought it through, Tan Shaoting felt it was the right moment to speak up.

The rest of the people remained silent, watching Tan Shaoting and Luo Yinghui, waiting for the senior sister’s decision.

"Mr. Tan, after listening to your analysis, it makes a lot of sense to me.

Since entering this secret realm, nothing’s truly different besides the Trial Tower.

What are your opinions, everyone? Let’s discuss it."

Qin Weichuan paused his eating, "I agree with Mr. Tan, I also want to return to the Trial Tower."

"I agree too," Xing Chongshan chimed in.

"I agree as well."

Li Wenhui and Jiang Xueyan also expressed their agreement.

In the end, everyone agreed.

"Alright, since that’s decided, let’s head back tomorrow. Our gains from this secret realm have been good, so let’s wait by the Trial Tower."

Everyone felt much better than before. Some even began to chat quietly.

Tan Shaoting continued taking care of the three children, making sure they had their meal before eating himself.

There were eight female cultivators in the group, and watching Tan Shaoting like this stirred ripples in their hearts. There was no other such man in the cultivation world.

Although children are rare in the cultivation world and even if there’s a lucky next generation, they’re usually cared for by others, not personally.

How strong must a man be to bring children into a dangerous secret realm? Moreover, with the danger already passed, the three children at the Qi Refining First Layer weren’t injured at all, well-protected by him.

He’s absolutely a man worth marrying; any woman marrying such a man would be happy for a lifetime.

The three children sat beside Tan Shaoting meditating in cultivation.

Luo Yinghui suddenly felt that the spiritual energy absorption of the three children didn’t seem like Qi Refining First Layer, so she tried to investigate using her Divine Sense.

Tan Shaoting sensed it and directly blocked her with his Divine Sense.

Luo Yinghui, though unharmed, felt quite uncomfortable.

This made her unhappy. She had no ill intent, so why treat her this way?

Tan Shaoting completely ignored her, continuing his meditation with his eyes closed.

Luo Yinghui, being a proud person, found Tan Shaoting’s treatment of her disgraceful, so she turned away in a huff and started meditating.

Xing Chongshan had always been paying attention to Luo Yinghui, sensing what had happened, and gave a bitter smile at her actions.

Being ignored, while Tan Shaoting received attention, left him realizing he truly had no chance.

Let it go, she doesn’t see me that way. Best to focus on cultivating. That kind of affection isn’t suited for me. Xing Chongshan sat upright and began to cultivate.
