"How do you intend to help me?" Linghu Xiao asked hesitantly.
Mo Hua’s face lit up with a bright smile, exuding warmth:
"Come hunt monster beasts at Taixu Sect’s mountain. Sever Gold Sect is too afraid of us to cross the boundary, let alone rob your monster beasts."
Linghu Xiao froze, frowning slightly.
Too afraid of Taixu Sect to trespass...
Since he joined the mountains late and was somewhat reclusive, he mostly focused on his swordsmanship and seldom paid attention to other matters. He wasn’t aware of the disputes between Taixu Sect and Sever Gold Sect.
However, in his impression, Taixu Sect wasn’t necessarily stronger than Sever Gold Sect.
And Sever Gold Sect was known for its shamelessness and underhanded tactics. How had they ended up being intimidated by Taixu Sect?
Linghu Xiao couldn’t quite understand.
"Moreover..." Mo Hua seized the opening while Linghu Xiao was distracted. "You could team up with Taixu Sect disciples to hunt monster beasts together, which would help earn merit points faster."
Mo Hua had already calculated this. With the power of Linghu Xiao’s Sword Qi, he only needed to pair up with someone to scout monster beasts, set traps, and arrange formations.
Once the formation exploded and weakened the monster beast, Linghu Xiao could likely finish it off with one sword stroke.
If one sword wasn’t enough, then two swords at most.
But Linghu Xiao looked a bit resistant.
"I don’t team up with others," he said.
"Why not?" Mo Hua asked.
Linghu Xiao lifted his head slightly, his voice cold:
"I aim to perfect my swordsmanship, and the path of a Sword Cultivator is destined to be a lonely one..."
Mo Hua was speechless. After a long moment, he took a deep breath, visibly exasperated:
"Why are you obsessing over this nonsense?"
"What does perfecting swordsmanship have to do with being lonely?"
"If your swordsmanship becomes strong, you can choose to be lonely if you want. If your swordsmanship is weak, what’s the point of being lonely? You might be cut down by someone, and no one will even bother to bury you..."
"The key is cultivating swordsmanship!"
"And cultivating swordsmanship requires merit points."
"Right now, the priority is to earn as many merit points as possible, as quickly as possible, and then concentrate your resources to rapidly improve your Sword Dao..."
