The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1319: Chapter 1319: Being an Outstanding Man Is Also a Sin

Carson Flores never thought of his family as a burden, but his aunt’s words suddenly brought him back to his senses.

The Immortal Path is merciless.

Why merciless?

No one can cultivate as a whole family, living for tens of thousands of years, especially since the path of cultivation diverges, no one can always walk together, each has their own fate and destiny, eventually they must part ways.

When he returned to the Mortal Realm, Samantha Tate’s parents chose to stay behind and did not follow to the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, perhaps it was now time for his own family to make a similar choice.

Samantha’s parents didn’t love her any less, just like his mother and aunt didn’t love him any less, perhaps it was precisely because of love that they needed to let go, to let them fly, walk their own paths, live the lives they wished for, without being a hindrance.

Even if he brought them to the Immortal Realm, what then?

It might hasten their cultivation, but it wouldn’t necessarily be as comfortable and pleasant as it was in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, and even if they went to the Immortal Realm, how much time could he spend with them?

How much time had he spent with his family during his years in the Barbaric Wilderness?

Not to mention his mother and aunt, even his wife had to endure separation due to cultivation.

This is the price one must pay in the pursuit of the Immortal Path.

His aunt wasn’t wrong; as the Human Emperor of the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, he made great contributions to the Human Race there, and his prestige was sufficient. In the Barbaric Wilderness, his family could live securely, but who knew if one day his troubles would extend to them in the Immortal Realm?

Although the cultivation resources in the Barbaric Wilderness couldn’t compare to the Immortal Spirit Qi of the Immortal Realm, with sufficient resources, their strength wouldn’t be weak, nor would their lifespan be short; at least a thousand years would be no problem.

As for the future, that’s for another time.

When they have the strength and desire, and he is more capable, he will see their choices and help accordingly.

After staying at home for a few days, under the supervision of his mother, Grandfather Chu, and Sophia Roth, Carson Flores, Shirley Miller, and Samantha Tate held a ceremony.

There weren’t many guests present, at most a tableful, but the feeling of marriage was completely there.

Lucy Frost’s eyes reddened with joy as she watched her son and daughter-in-law perform their salutes.

At that moment, she thought of her husband, how wonderful it would be if he were there, with the family reunited.

Carson understood his mother’s thoughts. His current strength might be even greater than that of the Demon Emperor, and if he gave it more thought, leading his five Demi Immortals, he might be able to take down the Demon Emperor, but what then?

As long as it’s dominated by the Demon Emperor’s Will, he is the Demon Emperor, not a father.

He must wait until he reaches the Immortal Realm, find a reliable way to separate the Divine Spirit, before he can take concrete action to retrieve his father.

After the ceremony, the two brides were sent to their bridal chambers, while Carson stayed in the front hall to drink with everyone.

Carson took turns toasting his master, senior brothers and others, until it was his senior sister Delaney Hunter’s turn.

”Sister, thank you for taking care of me; without you, there wouldn’t be the me of today.”

Delaney held her wine cup: ”Don’t mention it. If we’re talking about care, you’ve helped me more. Without your help, I might still be stuck in the Nascent Soul Stage, without achieving Sword Bone Great Achievement.”

Delaney’s words weren’t false; if Carson hadn’t used the Life Essence Pearl to treat the problematic bones whenever Delaney was refining her Sword Bone, it would have been absolutely impossible for her to refine it all at once.

Stagnation for a few years was normal; how could she have experienced such a meteoric rise otherwise?

The two exchanged looks, and there was a fleeting subtlety in their eyes.

Thinking back to the process of refining the Sword Bone, they inevitably remembered those months of constant companionship, and couldn’t forget those blush-inducing moments.

Delaney’s eyes flickered with a fleeting sorrow; if Carson had no lovers before, perhaps she and Carson would have progressed further.

There were no fiery passion between them, but there was a subtle affection, tender and delicate.

Liking each other yet maintaining distance.

An unspoken understanding that couldn’t be voiced.

Under the gaze of everyone, Delaney zoned out only for a moment before snapping back to reality, smiling and clinking her glass with Carson.

”Congratulations on finally achieving great success in your cultivation.”

”Thank you.”

Carson sighed inwardly, his heart filled with unsaid words, yet unable to express them at this time.

Then came Lydia Howell, Lilly Compton, and others.

Initially, Lydia followed Carson to repay a favor, but later hoped to become stronger. Although she admired Carson’s strength, her feelings were not of the romantic kind.

Lilly, however, couldn’t quite disguise her disappointment.

She liked Carson.

She hoped to catch up with him, to walk side by side with him, but along the way, she couldn’t even see his silhouette.

Perhaps Lilly most understood the merciless nature of the Immortal Path; she was destined to be left far behind by Carson.

This sentiment was doomed to fade away.

Fortunately, though they could not be lovers, their friendship remained, so her loss wasn’t too great.

Lucy Frost and Leah Frost exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting subtle nuances.

This young man seemed to have entangled quite a few hearts.

Marrying two brides was one thing, but it seemed there were also two other women whose thoughts were on him during this banquet; his night might be filled with deep sorrow.

Ah, to be too outstanding as a man is also a kind of sin...
