Shangguan Qingyun was stunned when he heard this.
He couldn’t understand why Jiang Yiming would suddenly say something like this.
Not to mention that this was their first time meeting and they didn’t know each other very well, just the fact that he was being chased by someone and had only escaped here by accident, anyone with a normal brain wouldn’t want to get involved in such matters.
After all, if there was one Core Formation Realm cultivator pursuing him, who knew if there would be a second or a third?
Getting involved with a person of unknown origin like him for no reason was just looking for trouble.
No matter what, Jiang Yiming was the person who saved his life, thus he didn’t want to involve Jiang Yiming in his troublesome matters.
As such, Shangguan Qingyun shook his head and said with a wry smile, “I appreciate your kindness, but please forgive me for not being fated to be your disciple.”
“Oh? Young master Shangguan, are you looking down on me?” Jiang Yiming frowned and said unhappily.
Shangguan Qingyun had to explain quickly, “You have misunderstood me. I have no other choice. Your cultivation realm is outstanding, and I’m just a weakling. I wouldn’t even dare to form ties with someone powerful like you. How could I be looking down on you?”
Jiang Yiming looked at his expression and felt that Shangguan Qingyun didn’t seem to be lying, so he nodded and asked again, “I don’t know what your difficulties are. Why don’t you tell me? Maybe I can even solve this matter for you.”
Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyun was instantly stunned, but his expression was soon filled with bitterness.
How could this matter be so simple? The Core Formation Realm cultivator was someone his family had sent to take his life!
Although Jiang Yiming could easily take care of an early-stage Core Formation Realm cultivator, Shangguan Qingyun still didn’t think that he had the strength to solve the trouble behind his back.
One had to know that the cultivation of a Core Formation Fealm was only considered to be in the middle range in his family.
Even the Nascent Soul Realm couldn’t be considered a higher up in his family.
Any Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could easily take down a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
Therefore, Shangguan Qingyun guessed that Jiang Yiming might be in the Nascent Soul Realm. Such strength wasn’t enough to make his family pay attention to him.
If he really joined Jiang Yiming’s sect, it would only bring him the disaster of having his entire sect exterminated!
Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingyun’s expression became resolute.
He said seriously, “Sir, you don’t have to say anymore. This matter involves too many people and details. You don’t have to get involved in this mess. Moreover, my meridians have long been severed. It is already a blessing from Heaven that I have my current cultivation realm. I don’t dare to presumptuously hope that I can continue to cultivate. This is already enough.”
All cultivators knew that if their meridians were severed, they would be no different from a cripple.
Shangguan Qingyun felt that since he had told him of such a secret, Jiang Yiming would give up on his idea no matter what.
Who would have thought that Jiang Yiming’s regretful expression that he expected to appear didn’t show at all?
On the contrary, there seemed to be a trace of excitement in Jiang Yiming’s eyes.
Shangguan Qingyun was instantly puzzled and confused.
Indeed, Jiang Yiming was immediately excited after hearing his words.
One had to know that those who had their meridians completely severed were even inferior to ordinary people.
Under such circumstances, Shangguan Qingyun was still able to reach the middle-stage of the Qi Meditation Realm by relying on hard work.
Jiang Yiming could already imagine how monstrous his talent was.
Instantly, his determination to take in Shangguan Qingyun as his disciple became even more firm.
As for the matter of his meridians being completely severed, others might have no way to help, but he might have.
After all, he was someone with a system!
Jiang Yiming shook his head and said without a care, “You don’t have to worry. Maybe I can even restore your meridians. Besides, if I can’t, it’s fine too. My sect can support you for a lifetime.”
