Today Su Kang will go to the Qingyun sect. After discussing everything with the 'Fate' last night, now he will take steps to materialise that plan.
He decided to call the spirit 'Fate.' He was not comfortable talking to it without any name. It was awkward for him to talk like this. Fate did not have any problem with it.
After taking a bath, Su Kang changed his robe to a white robe with blue-coloured patterns on t. Changed his earrings to one that enhances his good looks.
Men from the South wear earrings and pierce their ears. The Su family had already moved here centuries ago, but they still pierced their ears.
This is a tradition from the South, and they decided to continue it. It reminds them of their humble origins and roots so that they should not let all this fame get to their heads.
The Su family is able to come this far by sheer hard work of its members, and Su Kang plans to take it to another level with the help of Fate.
After getting ready, he left for the Qingyun sect. He did not go to meet his parents because they were most likely busy with the secret realm.
As long as the Su family can get their hands on pill formation elixir, then his mother and uncle will be able to break through the Pill Formation Realm in the future.
Qingyun sect is not very far from Qingyun city. For a pill formation cultivator, it is only ten minutes away. Su Kang landed in front of a mountain range.
There were many hills in there.
Peaks of mountains were covered by white and grey clouds; meanwhile, hills were covered in green. These hills are used as living quarters for disciples and other major halls.
Su Kang went to his disciple's quarter room. He informed the elders, and they will call him for a meeting later.
Today he will meet Li Fang and his party. They will decide to leave Jiang state in this meeting.
Su Kang is patiently waiting in his room talking to Fate. Fate is hiding inside his spiritual consciousness. They can communicate with each other without being noticed by others.
Fate can see everything from outside without exposing itself in front of Li Fang. Since Li Fang is certainly a child of destiny, then if it is noticed by him, then the world might be aware of its existence. So precaution is better than cure.
Sometime later someone called Su Kang for a meeting. Then Su Kang left for the sect hall.
....
The manse hall of the Qingyun sect is located on the highest peak.
The main peak is surrounded by clouds, and the sight is wide and majestic. It is worthy of one of the top sects of Jiang state.
The main seat of hall is occupied by the leader of the Qingyun sect.
Below him elders from five peaks are seated in both rows.
After them there were elders from the inner pavilion, and then many young men and women were sitting next to them. Su Kang is sitting in the left row, and the right row in front of him is occupied by Li Fang.
He looked at the Su Kang and showed a carefree smile towards him.
Su Kang nodded and greeted back. It is their first meeting in two months. Li Fang was in seclusion for two months. But they had already agreed to go on this journey before his seclusion. So Li Fang is not aware of the surprise prepared by Su Kang for this meeting.
" Sect master and brothers, I have thought about it and made up my mind. I have decided to leave Jiang state for better opportunities. I am planning to practice in the Central Plains."
"After all, with our cultivation talent and current realm, we will be only limiting ourselves if we stay in the Jiang state."
"Only when we step out of here and go to better places like the central plains can we go higher in cultivation."
"I, Li Fang, am planning to go to the central plains for cultivation. Everyone, I don't know if you are willing to go with me on this journey and become famous in the entire Southern continent."
Li Fang's motivational speech, filled with desire towards cultivation and hope for the future, made everyone excited. They can feel their youthful energy awakening. Even old sect master Chu is looking proud and lifted his head. Su Kang feels his youthful energy from his eyes.
All the young people were feeling their blood running and their heart beating wildly.
"Brother Li, Shangyu'er is willing to follow you in this journey."
"Young master Li, Heng Tian is willing to follow you too."
"Big brother Li, Ling'er is also willing to go with you."
"Hahaha, senior brother Li, this younger brother of yours is naturally willing to follow too."
...
In the main hall a group of younger brothers and sisters are enthusiastic and hopeful about this journey.
"As expected, they are going to die. Li Fang is not afraid of death because of his destiny, but these younger brothers will naturally hand over their dreams to him, Su Kang thought.
After seeing Li Fang, Fate was confirmed that Li Fang is carrying a lot of destiny. Su Kang is sure that this guy is some kind of protagonist.
As a protagonist he is meant to go through hard times and become stronger as a result. He will carry dreams of his dead brothers and followers. His destiny is a manifestation of countless dreams and the destiny of his fallen followers that he, as a protagonist, is supposed to carry forward and fulfil.
Li Fang watched everyone's happy face, and even the old sect master showed a relieved smile.
He looked at Su Kang with expectation on his face.
A few moments later, Li Fang frowned. He realised something was wrong with Su Kang. In the past, Su Kang was the first to support him.
"Brother Su, you are...silent," said Li Fang.
Li Fang's word attracted everyone. They looked at Su Kang with a confused expression. Su Kang didn't say anything till now. Everyone is aware of the relationship between Su Kang and Li Fang. They can't figure out what's going on now.
"Brother Li, I definitely support your decision. After all, with the resources of Jiang state, it is difficult to go further in cultivation. But I cannot go with you right now." said Su Kang calmly.
"But why are you not willing to leave, Brother Su?" asked Li Fang with a frown.
Li Fang is reluctant to leave behind his number one horse. After all, in terms of cultivation resources, background, talent, and even in terms of cultivation level, Su Kang is top-notch. He respects Su Kang quite a bit.
"Brother Li, I have my reasons to stay," said Su Kang.
"As a young master of the Su family, I cannot suddenly leave like this. I have my duties as a young master that I need to fulfil," said Su Kang.
He believes everyone will think that he is talking crap after hearing this.
Duties of a young master? He is just making excuses for face-saving.
"Brother Li, I will participate in the recruitment of the Heavenly Sword Sect two years later. Then we can meet again in there." Su Kang is letting them know that his stay in the Jiang state is temporary. He will leave Jiang state later and join him.
This will make them think that he is not making random excuses, after all.
He will leave the Jiang state, but he is staying now for some personal or family reasons that he didn't want to speak about. In this way Li Fang will not blame him.
"As long as I am staying here, I can also take care of the Li family and madam. When I go to the central plains two years later, then I can also take them with me. In this way, when you are stable in the future, I can deliver them back to you safely," Su Kang said meaningfully.
The Li family is reduced to just a small group of people now. In the rise of Li Fang, the Li family has faced massacre many times. Now that Li Fang is leaving for war. He can't take them with him. He can only leave them in the care of the Qingyun sect.
But he has offended a lot of people from inside the sect as well. Breaking the legs of a pill-formation elder's grandson to slap the inner pavilion elder's face, he has done all kinds of deeds that a protagonist is supposed to do.
Su Kang knows that as long as he mentions his mother and Li family's safety, then Li Fang will be more likely to leave them in his care compared to leaving them in the Qingyun sect. After all, he is a filial son.
After hearing Su Kang's words, Li Fang is silent. He is thinking about this situation, and he feels like Su Kang is hiding something. But he didn't want to pry into his matter. Su Kang will join him two years later, so he believed he has some personal reasons.
After all, he knows Su Kang's personality. The war with demon cultivators will most likely end in one year. He would have stabilised his situation in the Central Plains till then.
When Su Kang will deliver his family, he can settle them easily.
Li Fang is convinced now, and he smiled at Su Kang.
"Brother Su, I respect your decision."
When Su Kang heard this, he knew that he had successfully changed his future.
