Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn as a Devouring Python, Medusa is taken home.

Chapter 216, The Dan Family's Purpose

"Then I thank Sect Leader Ning in advance. I have other matters to attend to and cannot stay any longer. My daughter will remain here," Danfeng said.

"Chen'er, remember to obey Sect Leader Ning's orders, okay?"

"Understood, Father."

Danfeng left without a word, not even staying for a cup of tea.

Ning Su suddenly felt something was off, like something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Dan Chen stood obediently to the side, looking somewhat reserved.

After all, she had rarely interacted with outsiders since she was a child. Although she was quite familiar with Ning Su, she was now all alone here, and Dan Feng had left. She still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Miss Danchen, let me take you to a place to stay first. We'll officially begin our cultivation tomorrow," Ning said.

"Mm." Dan Chen lowered her head slightly and followed behind Ning Su.

……

After leaving Chang Le Sect, Dan Feng led his men back towards Dan City.

An elder couldn't help but ask curiously, "Patriarch, why did you leave Miss alone at Chang Le Sect? Given her personality, she's not comfortable being alone in an unfamiliar environment, is she? And if it's just to teach her how to control her soul power, wouldn't it be more suitable to keep her at the Pill Tower?"

Many of them had watched Danchen grow up and liked the little girl very much.

In addition, Dan Chen has now proven her abilities in front of countless people at the Dan Conference.

Dan Chen's status in the Dan family has been elevated to an unprecedented level; he can even be considered one of the most important people in the Dan family at present.

Now, Danfeng has left Danchen alone at Chang Le Sect, which they can't understand.

"The reason we left Chen'er at Chang Le Sect was partly so that she could learn from Sect Master Ning how to better manipulate soul power."

"On the other hand, we actually wanted her to have more contact with Sect Master Ning," Danfeng said.

After Dan Chen's soul was repaired, her soul power increased greatly, and she couldn't control it well on her own.

Danta could certainly teach her how to better cultivate her soul power, but there was no longer any need for the Dan family and Danta to cultivate a relationship.

On the contrary, it is more necessary to be with the Chang Le Zong.

For Danfeng, keeping Danchen in Changle Sect so that she could learn from Ning Su was secondary; the real purpose was to use Danchen to bring the Dan family and Ning Su closer together.

"Patriarch, do you mean... you want to matchmake Miss and Sect Master Ning?" The elder standing to the side finally understood.

Danfeng nodded: "Chen'er is still young, and we shouldn't be in such a hurry, but once an opportunity arises, we must seize it firmly."

"With Chen'er's current alchemy skills, most people are not good enough for her, but even our Dan family has to curry favor with Sect Master Ning. It would be a good thing if Sect Master Ning could take a liking to Chen'er."

Even Xuan Kongzi personally went to congratulate Ning Su, which is enough to prove Ning Su's high status.

Given the Dan family's status, it did indeed have a hint of currying favor with Ning Su.

But that's the reality. To survive in Zhongzhou, you have to learn to assess the situation, curry favor with the powerful, and create favorable conditions for yourself.

Danfeng was using Danchen to help the Dan family gain a powerful patron, while at the same time finding someone for Danchen to rely on.

……

"Why is that little girl from the Dan family here?" Medusa noticed Dan Chen's presence at Chang Le Sect only after she finished her work.

"The head of the Dan family sent a generous gift and said she wanted me to teach her how to better control the power of the soul," Ning said.

"The Dan family is a family of alchemists, and one of the five major families of the Pill Tower. Why would they need to come to you for instruction? There's something fishy going on here," Medusa said.

Even though she's not an alchemist, she's been by Ning Su's side for so long and has experienced so much in Zhongzhou that she knows a lot of things, even if she doesn't know them.

"Well, maybe they were all too busy, and they thought my alchemy skills were better."

"It seems the Dan family has some interesting ideas, but since they're asking you, you can handle it yourself. I can't be bothered with it."

Medusa and Little Fairy Doctor are both too busy managing the sect to think about such things for Ning Su.

"Alright, I don't have much to do lately anyway, I'm pretty free."

"That's because Xian'er and I did all the work!"

"Thank you for your hard work." Ning kissed Medusa before leaving.

The moon is bright and the stars are few; the sky is clear and bright.

The Chang Le Sect is quite lively right now, with many disciples, most of whom have only recently joined and are getting to know each other.

However, they all stayed in the disciples' rooms. Chang Le Sect also had special guest rooms, and Dan Chen was arranged to stay in a guest room.

In the vast courtyard, only Dan Chen's room was still lit, and she was all alone.

After all, the Chang Le Sect had only been established for a short time, and there were no guests staying here.

Upon seeing Ning Su arrive, Dan Chen immediately went out to greet him: "Sect Leader Ning."

The latest novel is first published here!

"Don't call me Sect Leader Ning, it's not a habit. Just call me 'Master' like before," Ning said.

"Yes, Mr. Ning..."

This name sounds better.

"I was worried you wouldn't be comfortable here alone, so I came to check on you. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Dan Chen shook her head: "No, I was used to being alone when I was in the family, and I actually think it's fine as it is now."

Others might not like this empty courtyard where everyone lives alone, but she felt the opposite and didn't think it was a problem.

"That's good. Get some rest tonight, and we'll officially begin our cultivation tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, I'm available anytime, Mr. Ning," Dan Chen said.

She knew that she was the one causing trouble for Ning Su, so she wanted to avoid causing Ning Su any more trouble as much as possible.

……

Early the next morning.

Dan Chen had been waiting for Ning Su for a long time.

She would rather wait herself than make Ning Su wait, after all, Ning Su's time was more precious than hers—she didn't know that Ning Su was very leisurely now, and he was the most leisurely person in the entire Chang Le Sect.

He left all sorts of troublesome matters to Medusa and Little Fairy Doctor; he was a hands-off manager.

"Miss Chen'er, are you ready?"

"Yes, I can start anytime," Dan Chen replied obediently.

Today she wore a light blue dress, which was fresh and elegant, giving her a pure and beautiful look like a girl next door. In addition, her personality was naturally well-behaved, making her even more lovable.

"Our sect also has a place for cultivation, but there's no one else here right now. If you don't want to go to a place with too many people, we can stay here."

"Let's do it here then... I really don't like crowded places," Dan Chen said softly.

She still somewhat prefers crowded places, and this is the best place for her.

"Alright, let's get ready to begin."

"Tell me first what bottlenecks you've encountered in your cultivation of soul power, so I can give you targeted guidance," Ning said.
