1453 Faction War
'Although I don't want to admit it, he's right. Because of my stubbornness, our faction has been declining for the past several months, and our overall morale has dipped. The others say that everything is fine, but they're probably doubting my ability to continue leading Eternal Lotuses effectively…' Bai Lianhua sighed inwardly as she pondered her own faults.
'I have already managed to bring my faction to the top 10 of the world through my own efforts. I wanted to reach first place, but there's only so much a single person to do, especially considering the current world's circumstances…'
She turned to look at Yu Rou, who sat there with a calm expression, and asked, "What do you think of your brother's proposal, Yu Rou?"
"I think this isn't a decision for me to make, even if it's my brother's offer," she quickly replied.
"I know; I am just asking for your input. What do you think about our faction's current standing?"
Yu Rou nodded, her face serious, and said, "Our faction is struggling, even though everything appears normal at a glance. My fellow sisters are feeling frustrated because we're being bullied without the ability to retaliate. The fact that nobody was able to bully us before makes that feeling much worse."
"I understand that Senior Sister has her own pride and ambitions, but please reconsider accepting my brother's help. I think we need it, and it'll recover our fellow sisters' morale."
Even though Bai Lianhua was already aware of everything Yu Rou had mentioned, it still felt bad to hear it coming from another person's mouth.
Bai Lianhua sighed, "You're right. I am often told that I have a stubborn personality. Sorry if I've been such a useless leader…"
"Please, Senior Sister, don't call yourself useless! You're anything but useless!"
She shook her head and said, "A leader that cannot protect their own faction is useless in my eyes."
Then, she turned to look at Yuan and said, "Okay, I will accept your generous donation, but I won't accept it for free. With that being said, I don't know how to repay you, so let's just put it on my tab for now, if you don't mind."
Yuan nodded while chuckling, "Sure, I don't mind. And since I don't know what techniques would benefit you the most, I'll bring you to the Myriad of Techniques so that you can pick them for yourself."
"Eh? But aren't you in the Fourth Heaven, brother?" Yu Rou asked.
"Yeah, so? If you think we can't meet because of that, I can simply just go back down to the Third Heaven."
"Wouldn't that cost you a tremendous amount of resources? Most people who have ascended aren't able to descend, mostly for that reason," Bai Lianhua said.
Yuan raised an eyebrow. Although he had never tried descending before, he always assumed it would be free for some reason.
