Chapter 194: Already Have a Faction (1/2)
“Keep quiet! You are the cause of all this trouble! I even violated the ancestors’ rules because of you! I persuaded you earlier but you didn’t take a step back. Why are you refusing to admit defeat now? If you agree to bet, you must accept the loss. You should’ve anticipated that something like this would happen if you lost. There is nothing else for you to say.” The Phoenix King Valley Elder was afraid that the merchant’s son would use cultivation resources to threaten them and his tongue would slip. If that were to happen, the Phoenix King Valley wouldn't be able to take a step back. This young man had already created dissatisfaction in the audience and he must not be allowed to create another disturbance.
The young man seemed as though he wanted to say something else but he swallowed his words. His serious injury, coupled with the elder’s formless pressure caused him to be unable to speak.
He fainted due to the pressure the Phoenix King Valley Elder was emitting.
When the Phoenix King Valley Elder saw the young man fainting, he let out a breath of relief. As soon as he turned to look at Guan Yue, the expression on his face had changed.
According to the elder, the white-clothed young man was more suitable as a disciple. It wasn’t only because of his strength, but his demeanor was much more fitting for the Phoenix King Valley’s image. If he wasn’t the elder of the Phoenix King Valley who had to put the interest of the sect before himself, he would definitely accept the white-clothed young man as a disciple into the inner valley. Just his strength and attitude was enough for the Valley Master to accept him as a disciple. However, he was a descendant of a declined aristocratic clan and wouldn’t be able to help the Phoenix King Valley develop. There was no choice but to throw him into the outer valley. In the case where he achieved outstanding results as an outer valley disciple, it wasn’t impossible for the elder to personally recommend the white-clothed young man into the inner valley.
This was the Phoenix King Valley Elder’s brilliant plan. However, he didn’t know that Guan Yue didn’t hold the Phoenix King Valley in high regard at all.
“What is that Phoenix King Valley Elder doing? He has been dilly dallying for quite some time now.” Ying Lan noticed that the elder was standing still like a pillar and felt very strange.
“He is in a difficult situation.” Guan Yue didn’t feel surprised and replied. It was as if he wasn’t the person who caused this entire mess.
“Mm? What do you mean?” Ying Lan couldn’t understand.
Ying Lan fell silent. He wasn’t sure if Guan Yue was willing to stay in the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence if the Phoenix King Valley Elder offered him a spot. After all, everyone knew how high Guan Yue’s aspirations were.
“Young master, this old man will now officially represent the Phoenix King Valley to invite you as a new disciple of my Phoenix King Valley. After you enter the valley, I hope you can continue to cultivate diligently and contribute to this continent in the near future.” The Phoenix King Valley Elder spoke respectfully to Guan Yue.
