Chapter 1229 – Deliberately Making Things Difficult (2)
At first, Shui Ling didn’t care, but as Shen Yanxiao ascended into the second floor, An Ran directly became one of
the longest stayers among them in the first floor, and Shui Ling noticed a difference.
In these few days, these elves had been occupying the position where An Ran cultivated, but their results were still
far less than those of An Ran.
This point made Shui Ling determine that Shen Yanxiao must have told An Ran some cultivation secrets; otherwise,
how could An Ran stay in the tower for so long?
Moreover, the relationship between Shen Yanxiao and An Ran had always been good. She would inevitably tell him
something that was unknown to others.
The progress of other elves was slow; on the other hand, An Ran was progressing quickly, which was something
that all the elves were unwilling to accept.
How could a traitor have a faster cultivation than them?
An Ran wrinkled his brows and looked at Shui Ling, who was full of evil intentions.
“Secret? Yan Xiao just had me slow down the pace of my cultivation, and carry out a period of absorption.” An Ran
did not conceal what Shen Yanxiao said to him as he very honestly stated.
Shui Ling sneered, looking at An Ran he said, “Do you think I’m an idiot? Carry out a period of absorption? Do you
think we don’t know such a simple truth? An Ran, you’re so dishonest. You just don’t want to say it, so you’re
actually treating us like fools?”
The method that An Ran said had been discovered by them a few days ago, but the effect was so little that it was not
obvious at all.
If An Ran really cultivated according to this method, then his progress would have never been so fast.
“I didn’t lie to you, I said the truth.” An Ran helplessly looked at Shui Ling. The reason why Shui Ling had a lot of
hostility towards him was related to the Qingyuan Tribe which Shui Ling belonged to.
The Qingyuan Tribe and the Moonshine Tribe were both the highest-ranking tribe of a black-level city. The strength
of the two tribes was not at all different. Until a Lady Saint had come out of the Moonshine Tribe, and the Qingyuan
Tribe had been pressed down by the Moonshine Tribe. The elves of the Wind City knew that the Qingyuan Tribe
and the Moonshine Tribe found each other disagreeable.
At that time, the Moonshine Tribe was still at its peak, and the Qingyuan Tribe could only conceal their strength and
bide their time to avoid the spearhead. However, after the Moonshine Tribe suffered a demotion, the Qingyuan Tribe
began to suppress the Moonshine Tribe elves.
This was also why Shui Ling always aimed at An Ran in all respects.
“Truth? Do you think that I will believe you? The elves of your Moonshine Tribe are really so shameless, that it
even lets others blush with shame. In the past, in order to have the glory, your tribe unbelievably used a mixed-race
to pretend to be a Lady Saint to win the favor of the Elf King, and now for the sake of your ascension, you’re
actually hugging Yan Xiao’s thigh. Just who do you think the heroes of the hero tribe are? This currying favor
behavior is indeed truly shameful.” Shui Ling ferociously narrowed his eyes at An Ran. He was angry at the
Moonshine Tribe, but more indignant at An Ran.
Why did Shen Yanxiao give such a treatment to an elf from a traitor tribe?
Shui Ling was the elf of a highest-ranking tribe. He was more suitable to be on good terms with the members of
hero tribe. He did not know what kind of means this An Ran had used to make Shen Yanxiao so fond of him. If
Shen Yanxiao were willing to tell Shui Ling that cultivation secret, then he believed that with his strength, his
progress would definitely be much better and faster than An Ran’s.
“I didn’t do that! I don’t care if you believe it or not, but I won’t bother to say anything more. Let go of me!” An Ran
was a little angry. He utterly despised hearing others describe the Moonshine Tribe as a traitor, but Shui Ling had
repeatedly mentioned this.
