CFSMS -Chapter 229 Cultivation Done Improperly, and Tears for Your Loved Ones

Have you ever seen a meteor crash into the earth? Probably not.

Neither had Lu Wu.

Because just as she was preparing to flee upon thinking disaster had descended from the sky, the “meteor” suddenly spoke.

“Boss Lu, help!”

That single shout froze Lu Wu in place. She paused mid-motion—her hand was about to pack up the stall into her storage bag—and squinted up at the sky.

Only then did she realize that the two leading “meteors” clearly had the faces of Ye Chi and Qi Jing.

This wasn’t some humanoid illusion.

They were actual people.

The only question was—what exactly were they shouting?

Help?

“Chirp chirp!”

“So many people!”

The ever-excited little Firefire flew higher into the sky, seeing things even more clearly.

Behind Ye Chi and Qi Jing, even more “meteors” were chasing them—those were also people. Judging by their trajectories, all of them were headed straight toward the small island.

Ye Chi and Qi Jing had obtained treasures and were discovered. After failing to be robbed, they had narrowly escaped, but their pursuers refused to give up…

Lu Wu had already mentally completed the entire storyline.

In situations like this, a hidden expert would usually jump out to resolve everything.

Apparently, in these people’s story… she had become that “expert.”

After weighing the difference in strength between both sides—looking at the group of Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators, then at her own mid-Core Formation cultivation—Lu Wu didn’t dare move.

She couldn’t win. Not at all.

“Don’t come over here!”

Lu Wu screamed inwardly, but due to a communication gap, her mental shout did not reach Ye Chi.

Ye Chi rushed forward.

The moment he saw Lu Wu, his relief and excitement could not be concealed.

Lu Wu’s face turned green.

If she had known, she would’ve run earlier.

Regret!

But did she have a way to handle the situation? Of course she did.

After learning from last time when Lu Wu suddenly vanished, the “old Li next door” had prepared some backup measures for her.

Among them, within her sword technique—“I Have a Sword”—was sealed with ten percent of that senior’s full power.

According to Grandpa Li, once unleashed, it would cause the heavens and earth to change color.

To prevent Lu Wu from suffering from “insufficient firepower syndrome,” he had sealed it multiple times without complaint.

Lu Wu wasn’t afraid of the world changing color—but she was afraid of mutual annihilation.

It was basically a nuclear bomb. One wrong move and everyone—enemy and ally alike—would be gone.

There was also another option.

She could summon Grandpa Li’s true body.

A strand of his divine sense was inside her. If she was in danger, she could simply activate it with a thought, and he would descend across space.

That scene would be even more terrifying than a world-shattering strike.

Faced with these two choices, Lu Wu pulled out “Heavenly One Sword.”

Don’t misunderstand—she wasn’t planning to die heroically here.

She intended to use its power to escape.

Just as she was about to activate the guardian force within it, she saw Xiao Hong and Xiao Zi stepping in front of her.

“Don’t panic.”

Xiao Hong comforted Lu Wu.

But at the same time, she frowned as she looked up at the situation above.

Not long after they had sent Ye Chi and Qi Jing away… the two of them were back again.

Although they already knew this kid had a strong survival instinct, returning so quickly could only mean one thing:

He had a deep fate with the Rainbow Stone.

Otherwise, under the rejection of its aura, even if Ye Chi had a map, he still wouldn’t be able to approach this island.

“Could it really be him?” Xiao Hong murmured.

Thinking back on Ye Chi’s past behavior in the Rainbow Sect, she felt a headache coming on.

Handing the future of the sect to such a cautious, timid person—was that really a good thing?

But the guidance of the divine stone would not be wrong.

“He may have average talent,” Xiao Zi added calmly, “but his temperament is good.”

A little timid? That’s fine. It just meant he knew how to survive. They could train the rest later.

At worst, they would back him up.

As the foundation of the Rainbow Sect, only high-level members knew that the Rainbow Stones could take human form. This secret was hidden from ordinary disciples.

Every hundred years, they would appear to select the next sect master.

And this time, the chosen one seemed to be Ye Chi, this overly cautious young man.

Although it was unexpected, Xiao Zi was confident they could “correct” him.

After all, the fundamental reason people ran instead of fighting was simply weakness.

Under their training, he would eventually transform.

Their conversation was not hidden, and Lu Wu heard everything clearly.

She instinctively touched her head.

Good—still attached.

So… she probably wouldn’t be silenced, right?

The “meteors” descended.

Lu Wu could clearly see Ye Chi’s tense expression, as well as the anger and hesitation of the pursuers behind him.

With the little stone people backing her up, Lu Wu relaxed a bit.

Then she smiled.

“So it turns out… Heaven, I misunderstood you. You really are my mother after all.”

She felt emotional.

Look—she just wished for customers, and now a whole group had arrived from the sky.

The future was bright.

“Here they come.”

Ye Chi landed first and rushed straight toward Lu Wu.

“Boss Lu, help!”

No matter how many times he tested it, he still couldn’t see through her cultivation. That only meant one thing—she was a true expert.

Seeing Lu Wu standing calmly and even casually waving at them, Ye Chi finally felt reassured.

They were safe.

“Quick, stand behind them,” Lu Wu said, waving them over.

Only then did Ye Chi notice the two small figures standing with their hands behind their backs, exuding an intimidating aura.

But…

He measured the small figures, then looked at the swarm of pursuers behind them like locusts. His confidence immediately wavered.

“Can they handle it?” Qi Jing asked, voicing his thoughts.

“I don’t know,” Lu Wu shrugged.

She was just a street vendor—how could she predict the outcome of a battle between experts?

“Maybe… Boss Lu, you should come with us,” Ye Chi said almost immediately.

He grabbed Qi Jing’s hand and gave Lu Wu a look.

They had dragged her into this. If they were leaving, they would leave together.

This “retreat before battle” attitude immediately irritated Xiao Hong.

“Hmph. Look at you—so cowardly.”

“No backbone.”

“I’m not cowardly, I’m cautious,” Ye Chi quietly argued.

Everything should prioritize survival.

This is the rule of cultivation.

If cultivation is done improperly, even your relatives will be left in tears.

The cautious “brave man” was here, and Lu Wu felt she no longer needed to transform into a struggling crawler.

She crossed her arms, preparing to observe the battle between the two little stone figures.

“Ye Chi, you brat—prepare to die!”

A furious roar echoed from the sky.

Wang Xiaowu had finally caught up.

Seeing Ye Chi stop running, Wang Xiaowu’s expression turned to delight.

He immediately executed a palm technique descending from the heavens, striking down toward them.
