"No need to thank , just focus on your work." Su Yuwei said indifferently with a wave of her hand.
"I will do my utmost!" Wang Junze replied solemnly, clasping his fists in a gesture of respect once more.
"By the way, you’ve now entered the Condensing Truth stage, yet your understanding of the Sword Dao is still too shallow. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to seek out Luo Qingxuan." Su Yuwei suddenly suggested, looking at Wang Junze.
"..."
These words imdiately caused Wang Junze to be montarily stunned.
Could this be sarcasm?
"Alright, off you go." Without giving Wang Junze a chance to respond, Su Yuwei directly instructed him to leave.
"... Yes!"
After Wang Junze had left, Lu Qing couldn’t help but ask, "Miss, aren’t you pushing him towards the Profound Moon Sword Sect? This kid’s Opening Veins might exceed eighty-one veins, and Luo Qingxuan will not easily give up on such a Sword Path Genius. If he really becos part of the Profound Moon Sword Sect..."
"You still don’t understand. The more outstanding he is, the less likely Luo Qingxuan will let go easily. Even if he’s recruited by the Judgnt Departnt, as long as he remains in the Northern Domain, Profound Moon Sword Sect won’t give up the chance to recruit him." Su Yuwei answered calmly, "If he chooses Profound Moon Sword Sect now, it’s better than him betraying us later to join the Profound Moon Sword Sect."
"This ti with the opening of the Ancient Ruins, the challenges he faces aren’t just these."
"Ultimately, it depends on his own choices!"
"Lu Qing, rember, talent is important, but for our Judgnt Departnt, disposition is more important than talent."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’s expression turned serious, and he replied solemnly, "Yes!"
...
After leaving the inn, Wang Junze thought it over several tis and ultimately returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.
There was no choice; in today’s Jubei City, finding a suitable place to stay isn’t sothing that can simply be accomplished with money. Moreover, upon careful consideration, Su Yuwei’s specific reminder to et Luo Qingxuan wasn’t just a casual suggestion.
Unlike before, Wang Junze’s reputation had already begun to rise, and as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, a servant ca forward to greet him.
"Please co in, Young Master Wang!"
"No need to announce my arrival?" Wang Junze asked in surprise.
"No need, both the City Lord and the Saintess have instructed that you may enter the mansion directly at any ti." The servant explained as he led Wang Junze inside.
A mont later, Wang Junze was led to the back garden, where Luo Qingxuan was sitting in the garden, drinking tea.
The garden after the rain was particularly beautiful, and Luo Qingxuan was even more radiant than the flowers. Such a scene was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat at just a glance.
This ti, unlike before, Luo Qingxuan did not wear a veil and displayed her delicate features, which differed from Su Yuwei’s beauty. Luo Qingxuan’s beauty was more elegant, naturally enticing people to draw near.
"Greetings, Saintess!"
Slightly bowing, Wang Junze stepped forward and paid his respects.
"There’s no need for formalities; Qingxuan is just an ordinary person. If you join our sect in the future, you may call Senior Sister." Luo Qingxuan said warmly with a gentle smile, "Sit down, there’s no need for formality."
Compared to Su Yuwei, Luo Qingxuan appeared more approachable, especially in such private settings where a few words could relax a person.
Sitting down beside her, soon a maid ca forward to serve tea.
"Your aura still seems a bit unstable, did you just break through?" Luo Qingxuan asked proactively when looking at Wang Junze.
"Yes!" Wang Junze nodded, not hiding anything, and explained, "I fortunately broke through last night. This morning, after eting Princess Changlin, I left the inn, and visiting the Saintess was actually the Commandery Princess’s suggestion."
"Su Yuwei indeed isn’t skilled in the Sword Dao." Luo Qingxuan smiled lightly and said softly, "With your talent, joining our sect is the best choice, of course... Even if you truly wish to enter the Judgnt Departnt, I can personally give you so guidance as long as it’s not related to sect cultivation techniques; the rest will not be withheld."
Having spoken to this extent, if Wang Junze were to naturally request Luo Qingxuan’s guidance in Sword Dao, it would be quite appropriate, but at this mont, Wang Junze found himself unwilling to ask about these matters.
Hesitating briefly, Wang Junze lifted his head and looked at Luo Qingxuan, asking earnestly, "Saintess, I’ve had a question in my mind these past few days. I wonder if you could enlighten ?"
"I just ntioned there’s no need for formality; ask whatever you wish." Luo Qingxuan replied with a smile, taking a sip of tea.
"Rumor has it that deserters have already infiltrated Jubei City." Wang Junze spoke directly, "Knowing that the news would inevitably leak, why did you choose to divulge it?"
"Su Yuwei must have told you this, right?"
Regarding Wang Junze’s question, Luo Qingxuan was seemingly unsurprised and shook her head lightly before replying, "She probably explained it to you, but our sect also has its difficulties. I won’t elaborate on them, but you need to understand that the opening of the ruins is an opportunity for all cultivators in the Northern Domain! We cannot cut off the chances for ordinary cultivators just because we fear news leaking."
"Take yourself, for instance; would you forgo the opportunity to enter the ruins out of fear of danger and the deserters?"
"..."
"Ultimately, it’s a matter of different stances. You need to know that the Judgnt Departnt represents the Court, while we of the Profound Moon Sword Sect represent cultivators!" Luo Qingxuan continued, "Court mbers focus on the stability of imperial authority, whereas cultivators should be fearless!"
"If soone colludes with deserters, I’ll kill the traitor. If the deserters dare co, I’ll kill the deserters too. There’s no need to consider right or wrong—my three-foot sword is the reasoning!"
