Chapter 14: Zhao Qing, A Person That Refused To Be Misled By Fallacies

The two of them didn’t talk for long. Seeming anxious to leave, Shi Hua swiftly departed Clearwater Street. As for Wen Ping, he returned to the foot of Cloudmist Mountain via the end of Clearwater Street.

At the same time, in the Yang Residence of Cangwu City…

Ever since a few days ago, when the news of Yang Lele choosing a sect to join spread, the Reliance Sect had sent people over to visit the Yang Clan twice.

Their purposes were direct. They wanted to invite Yang Lele to join the Reliance Sect, and there was an elder at the thirteenth level of the Body Refinement Realm that was willing to accept him as a disciple. This was originally a matter that was guaranteed to succeed, but everything changed when the night arrived.

Yang Lele rejected the invitation of the Reliance Sect and refused to take that elder as his teacher.

This caused everyone to be extremely taken aback.

During the afternoon today, Yang Lele didn’t chat much with anyone. He simply took a few pieces of banknotes worth a thousand gold each and headed to the Hucheng Riverside in Cangwu City.

There was a tiny house there with simple adornments. It was a contrast to the luxurious robes Yang Lele was wearing.

Boom!

Boom!

Yang Lele knocked on the door.

The person inside seemed to have expected Yang Lele’s arrival. They responded, “The door is unlocked, just enter.”

Once Yang Lele entered, he found a chair and sat down with great familiarity.

On the bed in front of Yang Lele, a young girl was sitting there cross-legged. The sunlight streamed through the windows and landed on her.

Her upper and lower body seemed to be clad in robes made from golden light. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Yang Lele extremely calmly before she said, “Yang Lele, I’ve said it. After that journey to the mountains, there is no more relationship between us.”

“Don’t be like this. I came here today to bring you good news.” Yang Lele didn’t mind the girl’s coldness.

Because compared to the scenes back in the mountains where she tore apart demonic creatures at the seventh level of Body Refinement and ate their hearts when they were still alive, the cold expression on her face and cold look in her eyes didn’t count for much.

If one were to compare the scene back then and how she looked now, it could only be described with the difference between heaven and earth!

The girl was still very calm as she spoke, “You want to leave Cangwu City with me to look for a 2-stars or 3-stars sect, right?”

Today, she heard from some people that Yang Lele had rejected the invitation from the Reliance Sect. Currently, there was only a single sect in Cangwu City that they could join. Since he had rejected the Reliance Sect and came to look for her, there should only be one other purpose in his mind.

He wanted to leave Cangwu City together with her.

However, Yang Lele shook his head. He said, “No. I discovered a place that’s even better compared to a 2-stars and 3-stars sect. In addition, that sect suits us a lot. No one will covet the cultivation art we are training in.”

“Don’t lie to me, how could there be such a place?”

“Believe me, I only returned home at midnight yesterday and immediately rejected the invitation of the Reliance Sect. I don’t care about being a disciple of an elder, so I naturally won’t go to the Reliance Sect.”

“Hehe.”

The girl completely didn’t believe Yang Lele’s words.

“Stop giggling, I’m telling you that I’m serious. Back then when we were in the mountains, didn’t you say that you wanted to cultivate in a sect that could allow you to go further down the path of a cultivator? This sect that I found for the two of us will surely help us walk further.”

“A lie to swindle kids, don’t use it on me.”

“You don’t believe me? Let me tell you, you might not be able to join even if you want to. That sect’s recruitment standard is very harsh…”

“Mn?”

“To reach the fifth level of the Body Refinement Realm at 15 years old. Can you do it?”

“Just nice.”

“In that case, do you have the entry fee which is 1,000 gold coins?”

“No.”

“There, you have no chance.” Yang Lele chortled. “The entry fee to join that sect is 1,000 gold coins. Also, after joining, you still need to pay gold coins to cultivate. The current price is 10 gold coins for two hours.”

“You must have been fooled.” She had never heard that one must pay money when it came to joining a sect.

“Fooled? My Yang Clan was developed through running a business. Let alone 1,000 gold, I’m willing to pay even if the entry fee was 10,000 gold.”

After hearing Yang Lele’s words, she sank into contemplation.

Indeed, Yang Lele wasn’t an ordinary person. His clan had been running businesses for generations and had terrifying prowess when it came to judging people.

They would be able to tell who were swindlers with a single glance.

Alright, she admitted that the place Yang Lele was talking about made her feel interested. However, she didn’t believe that things at that sect would be so good and worth paying 1,000 gold coins for.

Yang Lele continued. “It’s fine, I’ve prepared the gold coins for you, and it’s enough for us to cultivate in that sect for one year.”

“Bring me over to take a look.”

“Sure.” Yang Lele felt joyful. He was precisely waiting for this sentence.

After helping her pack her belongings simply, it was already evening and the sun had set behind the other side of the mountain.

Dusk started approaching and the lively Cangwu City gradually became peaceful.

Right now, Yang Lele employed a carriage to head from the city to Cloudmist Mountain. After some time, the carriage then stopped at the foot of the mountain.

After they got down the carriage, Yang Lele pointed up the stone stairs and said, “This is the sect I’m talking about.”

“The Immortal Sect?”

She only laughed, not showing any good expressions as she looked at Yang Lele’s face.

The Immortal Sect had declined for such a long time, and it was said that everyone in the sect had departed and brought everything away with them.

This was the miraculous place that he would even be willing to pay 10,000 gold to join?

Yang Lele laughed, not saying anything. After that, he pulled her along and proceeded up the mountain. But after taking two steps, they saw a sign erected next to the stone monument.

Because the skies had not completely darkened yet, the words on the sign were extremely clear.

The girl took a single glance and the shock on her face didn’t fade for a long time. So, what Yang Lele had stated about the requirements was real.

However, she didn’t believe it. What sect was this? It actually needed those who joined to pay 1,000 gold?

4-stars sects?

5-stars sects?

Right now, the Immortal Sect didn’t even have a single star.

Could it be that the sect leader wanted to use the previous fame of the sect to swindle others before leaving Cangwu City?

…

“Is someone here?” After reaching the mountain peak, Yang Lele brought her to the area before the brightly-lit great hall.

The main hall during the night was different from the day. Right now, white-colored light rose from both sides of the stone stairs and illuminated the area, giving an additional sense of solemnity to those walking toward the main hall, causing one to feel respect.

“Is there someone here?”

Yang Lele shouted again.

Naturally, no one replied. Things were the same as yesterday afternoon when he had come here.

However, when he turned, he saw Yun Liao standing outside the main hall again. Yun Liao had his hands placed behind his back, but the scrutiny from yesterday had disappeared.

Yang Lele hurriedly called out, “Elder Yun.”

Yun Liao responded in acknowledgment and didn’t continue to bother with Yang Lele. He then directly walked toward the depths of the main hall.

“What’s going on with this elder from the Immortal Sect? He didn’t even want to bother with us?” the girl asked Yang Lele in a low voice.

No matter what, both of them were at the fifth level of Body Refinement and were considered geniuses among the crowd.

Could it be that they were considered unworthy to join the Immortal Sect?

Yang Lele smiled and explained. “No, it’s because Elder Yun isn’t responsible for the matter of recruiting disciples. I know where the sect leader is, so let me bring you there. After meeting him, you will know the reason why I brought you here.”

The girl calmly replied, “I’ve planned to head to the northern side of the Eastern Lakes to find a 3-stars sect to join. You are merely wasting my time by bringing me to the Immortal Sect..”
