Zhao Yuxuan was in a good mood, as the Pure Yang Technique, an extrely difficult and resource-consuming cultivation technique, had helped him attain the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation—a level that vastly differed from that of other cultivators at the sa stage. Already able to defeat most of his peers in the middle stage of Qi Cultivation, the Eighth Layer of the Pure Yang Technique represented a realm far stronger than what one would consider the Great Perfection of an ordinary cultivation technique.
Moreover, the Pure Yang Technique was harmoniously unified, and once he reached the Foundation Establishnt phase, his future potential would be boundless. By then, advancing to the Golden Core would not pose much of a problem.
His future was bright, and he looked down upon those beneath him.
That is, until he received a call from his sister and rushed to et her.
It was in a private club where n and won, all accomplished young adults, gathered. His sister was discussing sothing with a few second-generation individuals he recognized, likely regarding the situation in the Scorpio Minor World.
This was a sudden event that the Immortal Sect took very seriously, and Star Industrial had invested a substantial amount of capital to resolve the issue quickly.
"Yuxuan, you're here. Tell , how did you and ng Yu fall out?"
The breathtakingly beautiful sister dismissed the others and asked with tender concern.
"He refused a face-saving out."
Zhao Yuxuan did not hide anything and recounted the incident in full detail. The Zhao Family had treated him so well, having exempted him from a red mission once and provided him with the Pure Yang Technique and Nine Yang Pills, along with many promises. Yet that person dared to refuse!
What an insult, he simply looked down upon the Zhao Family!
Moreover, he restrained himself when suppressing ng Yu, not tornting him to death. And that idiot endured it all without ever bowing or apologizing, taking it like a block of stone. Hah, did ng Yu think that would make him let go? Did he know there was another review in three years, to assess if ng Yu's service in the Enforcent Hall was satisfactory?
Hmm, did he think things would just pass by working hard like an old ox?
"So it's like that... little brother, can you do your sister a favor and accompany to visit ng Yu and apologize to him?"
Zhao Yuxiang said gently. If it were anyone else, Zhao Yuxuan would have slapped them already, but this was his sister, who had always been kind to him from childhood.
"Is the operation in the Scorpio Minor World dangerous?"
The next mont, Zhao Yuxuan thought of this possibility.
"Yes, I feel sothing is amiss. We've sent quite a few elites there, and it all seems a bit strange. Although we've sent an exceptional force of five thousand, what if sothing goes wrong?
Also, as the commander, these people are all under . If I can minimize the casualties, then I should. ng Yu's combat ability is truly remarkable. Take a look at this, here's footage of his battles in the Changdong Minor World."
Zhao Yuxiang pulled up the footage, including scenes of ng Yu fighting against monsters. After watching, Zhao Yuxuan fell silent.
It was the true picture of a man defeating an army of thousands.
"Sister, I was wrong."
He suddenly realized the enormity of the blunder he had made.
With ng Yu's participation, the death rate for Penglai University's internship decreased from the expected three percent to only five casualties, completing the operation smoothly and successfully. So then, how many first-grade Minor Worlds needed soone like ng Yu, a one-man army?
Zhao Yuxuan and the Zhao Family's Foundation Establishnt cultivators were unhappy with ng Yu for resisting their attempts to win him over and suppressed him. But it was like buying a stubborn old ox and then confining it without letting it do any work—this cost who more?
By rights, ng Yu should have earned the Immortal Sect, and the Enforcent Hall, hundreds of tis in profits!
Of course, the most critical point was that no one had expected ng Yu to refuse this ti. Only then did everyone realize that this seemingly honest person had really said no!
"Good that you understand. The little sches you had before were truly foolish. You may dislike soone, but you must still cherish him rather than resorting to such low-grade tactics, do you understand?"
Zhao Yuxiang smiled and nodded, patting her brother's head.
"We still need soone like ng Yu for the operation in the Scorpio Minor World to guarantee absolute safety. And you too must always rember that the path of cultivation is long and dangerous, and must not be taken lightly."
"Yes, sister, I realize my mistake. I'll join you tomorrow to apologize to ng Yu."
Zhao Yuxuan felt humiliated but still agreed.
"That's good."
Zhao Yuxiang's face bead with confidence. She planned to give ng Yu an offer he could not refuse.
She scrutinized ng Yu's mission records in detail. Before, wasn't ng Yu quite obedient?
Moreover, the ordinary cultivation techniques he practices now, including techniques like 'Cloth-Brushing Fall' and so on, would consu his energy and even life if he lacked resources. So had already noticed his problem. By now, he must be in great need of resources, right?
Is there anything that money cannot buy?
…
The next day.
Entering ng Yu's courtyard, Zhao Yuxiang wore a smile as radiant as flowers.
After placing down the gifts and exchanging a few pleasantries, she had her brother apologize to ng Yu, and then the man politely interjected, indicating that there was no enmity between them. On the contrary, he was very thankful for Hall Master Zhao's favor and once again clarified matters concerning the Pure Yang Technique.
He wanted to achieve the state of 'emptiness in all four aspects' and follow his own path, so he did not wish to exclusively cultivate the Pure Yang Technique, and pleaded for Hall Master Zhao's understanding.
Understand, of course, comprehend—I understand perfectly. The Enforcent Hall possesses both Earth and Water divine technique secret manuals; you may cultivate whichever you desire. As for past grudges, it was rely a suppression that lasted over a year. On the path of cultivation, who would care about that?
Very well, excellent. Things were proceeding smoothly, so Zhao Yuxiang revealed her intentions.
She hoped ng Yu would participate in the ergency operation in the Scorpio Minor World.
This ti, the Scorpio Minor World mission included five thousand elites from several departnts, involving many people and nurous families' elite descendants. If ng Yu participated, he could make many friends who would be of significant help to him in the future.
At the sa ti, she would respect ng Yu's personal wishes regarding mission assignnts. She assured him she would never let ng Yu be cannon fodder; rather, he would be arranged as a vanguard with the freedom to act as he pleased.
Regarding the reward after the mission, ng Yu could beco an official staff mber of the Immortal Sect, transforming from a penitent to a formal civil servant. If he didn't want to stay with the Enforcent Hall, he could move to other places, and she would definitely help him.
She spoke those words earnestly, including offers to bring in dignitaries as witnesses.
Having said her piece, she awaited ng Yu's response, confident that he would agree.
The terms were the best, the attitude was amicable—there was no reason from any perspective for ng Yu to refuse. Even from a risk standpoint, this mission was less dangerous than the previous two.
"I'm sorry, I'm planning to go into seclusion soon and really can't participate. Thank you anyway."
ng Yu smiled and declined Zhao Yuxiang's invitation.
"Ah?"
At that mont, she was truly stunned.
She felt that there was no reason for ng Yu to refuse.
Staring at ng Yu for a full ten minutes, she suddenly understood why he wouldn't participate in this mission.
Despite his outstanding concealnt, he simply had his reasons not to join!
Your brother targets , and I dare to join your team?
Having joined the battle, what are the commander's assurances worth when I'm thrown to the frontline? What do I have to resist with?
I think you and your brother are cut from the sa cloth, just trying to trick into a death trap!
I have completely lost faith in your actions!
So that's it.
She suddenly found it amusing. Was this ng Yu's true scope? Was he truly so petty?
The girl raised her head in pride and left with her brother.
"Heh."
Such a person, no matter how talented, was of no use to her.
He dug his own grave!
In ten or a hundred years, he would remain just so.
