Although this little fellow’s realm is a bit low, he has so capabilities, and if given to Purple Cloud Palace just like that, he might beco a competitor in the future.
"Um, I haven’t joined yet. I’ll have to wait until next month. Yu Ying will take our group to Purple Cloud Palace for the entrance examination, but I’ve actually already taken an early ntorship, no, it’s a senior sister. My senior sister taught on behalf of her ntor."
He shrugged his shoulders, as this wasn’t really a secret, but this suddenly made Cen Yueyue stick out her chest proudly.
As long as one has not been initiated, one can’t be considered a disciple of Purple Cloud Palace, but!
"I also can’t appear too desperate, otherwise it would lower my own value. It looks awful to undermine others’ footing with obsequious behavior, no, no, it’s like I’m belittling myself too much. Let think."
Her mind raced quickly and soon Cen Yueyue had an idea, probing: "If I rember correctly, the entry examination of your Purple Cloud Palace is very strict, isn’t it?"
Taking a different approach!
By indirectly hinting, she attempted to make Jiang Feng see the difficulty and back off.
"It is said to be so, starting from Foundation Establishnt for entering the Outer Disciple level, with the High Grade being the best. There’s a lot of pressure on now, who knows how powerful those demons and ghosts are."
Noticing Jiang Feng’s sowhat helpless tone, Cen Yueyue imdiately turned around, her eyes spinning, and then coughed a few tis, pretending to be a senior.
"Cough cough, yeah, with your current level in Qi Refinent, going there wouldn’t really help, you should understand this point."
"Losing is not the most important thing. Think about it, if you go to the examination, and being defeated by an opponent in front of everyone, trampled underfoot, you’ll regret it too late."
"Moreover, even if you’re initiated, you’d still be an Outer Disciple. Climbing up would be quite difficult, even if you have a ntor... no, it seems like a senior sister, it would still be hard for her to be your support in such a huge power as Purple Cloud Palace."
"Trees may die when moved, but people thrive with change. Sotis it’s wise to be flexible, to seek and create more opportunities for oneself."
"You’d agree, right?"
Looking into Cen Yueyue’s eyes, he was also sowhat unable to fathom what this woman really wanted to do. Could she be planning to steal him away?
Am I, a re Qi Refinent Realm cultivator, also worthy of such treatnt?
Although he was flattered, Jiang Feng would definitely not change his initial desire to join the Purple Cloud Palace, not only because of his connection with Purple Cloud Palace but also because of his senior sister’s earnest efforts.
Before comncing his cultivation journey, he didn’t know just how much Liu Tangxi had spent on him, nor was he aware of the sealed remnant soul in his body.
Until.
He was drained by Lu Luo.
Ever since then, he understood what Liu Tangxi was doing during those three missing months; the agony of her soul splitting was unbearable for most, undoubtedly due to severe injuries she was recuperating for such a long ti.
Seeing how Yu Ying behaved, he knew that for both emotional and rational reasons, he could not just switch sides.
"Uh... you are right, but my senior sister should still be able to take care of ."
The young girl shook her head solemnly, saying, "Purple Cloud Palace is truly a colossus, its internal forces are exceedingly complex. Since that crazy woman Yu Ying calls you elder brother, it seems you must have taken ntorship under one of the Nine Peaks."
"But since it’s your senior sister teaching you on behalf of your ntor, it ans your ntor doesn’t really consider you important. Perhaps you rank higher than Yu Ying in seniority, rely as a nominal disciple, but practically you’re only your senior sister’s disciple."
"Barely counted as a third-generation disciple, not even a core disciple."
"It’s a pity if your talents go to waste due to lack of cultivation resources. Why not... co and see our Cen Family Village?"
The fox finally revealed its tail.
Licking her lips, the young girl maintained a confident smile and directly said, "Cen Family Village also welcos talented individuals from all walks of life."
"With your talents, plus my guarantee, it’ll be easy for you to enter under the tutelage of a Hall Master. Oh, I forgot you’re from Central Plains, the status of a Hall Master in our village is comparable to a Nine Peaks Peak Master."
The only trouble is your identity as a person from the Central Plains, but even if they are reluctant to rely heavily on you, the cultivation resources will definitely be sufficient. If you run out of Spirit Stones for cultivation, just co and ask for more anyti. Plus, I have a dedicated Cultivation Cave Mansion and a Spiritual Spring that can increase the refining of Spiritual Energy by at least three tis."
"I occasionally go out to have fun, and it’s not out of the question to let you sit in there. Besides, look at how poor you appear; you don’t even have a single Xuan Rank Magic Treasure on you, no, not even a High Grade Yellow Rank."
"Your senior sister is really stingy too, not even willing to give you any Protective Dharma Treasure."
"Joining our family will be different, at least I’ll make sure you have all the Magic Treasures you need. Young man, don’t joke about your future prospects."
Honestly, paired with Cen Yueyue’s sincere expression, the offer was quite tempting.
Unfortunately...
"My senior sister in the Purple Cloud Palace should still hold so sway, I should be fine under her protection. Thank you for your kindness."
His words were said in a very subtle, humble manner.
This made Cen Yueyue even more anxious. Why couldn’t he see the bigger picture? Was he joking about his future?
"No, how can just a senior sister cover for you in the Purple Cloud Palace? To put it bluntly, as a nominal disciple, you’d be lucky to even receive ten Spirit Stones in a year!"
"Your current quick progress is because your realm is still low; once you start formal training, all those core disciples and direct disciples use dium or even high-grade Spirit Stones for cultivation every day. How can you keep up with their pace of cultivation?"
"In a maximum of two years, you’ll completely fall behind!"
Although Cen Yueyue’s intentions were sowhat apparent, what she stated was indeed true. A Great Sect certainly enjoys the richest resources, but it also faces the most intense competition.
Jiang Feng was like a rootless weed, without any connections. Even if talented, entering a Great Sect without anyone to look out for him, he was easily marginalized, and this wasn’t a problem that could be resolved just by a senior sister.
At least a decision-maker or a person in power is needed to procure him enough cultivation resources. She didn’t want to find that in a few years at the martial arts festival, she had already advanced to the Nascent Soul stage while Jiang Feng was still stuck in the Foundation Establishnt stage.
Staring blankly at Cen Yueyue for a few seconds, he realized that her anxious expression did not seem feigned. It was apparent that she truly wanted to invite him to Cen Family Village and was genuinely concerned about his lagging cultivation.
"I appreciate your kindness, but my senior sister might be different from what you imagine. She should still be able to protect in the Purple Cloud Palace."
"You just don’t recognize a good opportunity! The senior sister you speak of is rely a second-generation disciple, how capable can she be? Maybe she can teach you a few cultivation techniques, but when it cos to resource distribution, a second-generation disciple doesn’t have a say! It’s not possible that your senior sister is the current Sword Immortal Liu Tangxi, right?"
"..."
An unexpected silence always catches one off guard.
"..."
Staring blankly at each other.
After a mont, the atmosphere between them grew sowhat strange, as if to disguise the awkwardness. The young man cracked a smile, revealing eight snow-white teeth.
He smiled very politely.
"You, even if you pretend to be calm, it’s useless, she is the contemporary..." Cen Yueyue originally wanted to bluff Jiang Feng, but suddenly she thought of sothing.
Who taught Jiang Feng his swordsmanship?
This kid admitted he only started his cultivation two months ago, so who taught him these skills?
Also, Yu Ying, that crazy woman, no matter what she did to herself, she seed half-dead but still rushed out from the city to ensure Jiang Feng’s safety.
Based on what she heard within her family, the current Sword Immortal Liu Tangxi had been lingering around the borders of the East Continent for the last five years, not more than a thousand miles away from Peak Province. With her speed, she could arrive in a matter of days.
The more she thought about it, the weirder it felt, and she even got a little scared. But seeing the still polite smile on the young man’s face, she couldn’t hold back.
"You... you can’t be serious, right?"
