Chapter 389 - Xuan Junwei (1/2)

While Young Master Xuan Hao was facing the members of the Blue Ember faction in the Grand Ember Hall, Lu Tianzi and company were led out by a servant.

They entered a beautiful garden, where the servant gestured towards a small pavilion within. ”Please wait here for a while. Young Master Xuan Hao will be here after speaking to the elders. If there is anything you need, feel free to let me know.”

The small pavilion might be simply designed and only held a round table and a few chairs within, but it did not feel lacking at all.

A gentle breeze blew through the inside of the pavilion, carrying along the floral aroma from the spiritual plants within the garden.

Just standing within the pavilion gave one a pleasant feeling that was only attainable when close to nature.

”Thank you, Senior,” Lu Tianzi replied.

”Haha, you are too polite, you are too polite,” the servant laughed in embarrassment.

He might already be in his fifties, but it had still been a while since someone last called him senior. Most sect members simply called him 'you' or 'servant'.

It was just a small gesture, but it still gave him a rather good impression of Lu Tianzi nevertheless.

”Let's take a seat and wait,” Ruan Ling settled comfortably in one of the chairs. ”Oh? That is...?”

The moment she sat down, Ruan Ling noticed a famliiar figure heading towards them.

Her reaction drew the attention of Lu Tianzi and Ruan Ling, who similarly looked at the direction that she was looking at.

Not too far away, a suave looking young man was walking over with confident strides.

He looked to be in his late twenties, and wore a dark yellow long robe that screamed nobility. Perhaps more importantly, he was a martial artist at the Ninth Cycle Origin Core realm.

When he saw that Lu Tianzi and the rest had caught sight of him, he gave a gentle smile while continuing over.

”Xuan Junwei, widely known as the leader of the younger generation within the Blue Ember faction,” Ruan Ling sent a voice conveyance to the two of them. ”Ever since Brother Xuan Hao was selected as the heir candidate, he has always been unhappy with Brother Xuan Hao.”

Lu Tianzi nodded.

If it was true that his reputation and cultivation level were both superior to Young Master Xuan Hao, it was not unreasonable for him to feel wronged.

Then again, there were probably other aspects in which he was inferior to Young Master Xuan Hao.

Why else would he not be the one selected as heir candidate?

Under their curious gazes, Xuan Junwei eventually arrived at the small pavilion.

”It's been a while, Sister Ruan Ling,” Xuan Junwei greeted with a smile. ”Seeing that you are here, I suppose Junior Apprentice Brother Hao must have returned?”

”That's right,” Ruan Ling answered. ”We just returned not long ago.”

”That's good. He has been out for so long that we have all been worried for his safety. Now that he is back, the elders can finally put their mind at ease,” Xuan Junwei said before turning his attention to Lu Tianzi and Nanlan Qianxue, especially the latter. ”And who is this beautiful lady with you? Why have I never seen her before?”

”This is Sister Qianxue, and this is Brother Tianzi. Brother Xuan Hao invited them back with us this time,” Ruan Ling introduced.

”Nice to meet you,” Lu Tianzi clasped his fists towards Xuan Junwei, and Nanlan Qianxue did the same.

”I am Xuan Junwei. Let me know if there is anything at all that you need. It is not that I want to brag, but in the Blue Ember faction, I can be considered to have quite the influence over those of the younger generation. As long as I give the word, you will be able to get whatever you need,” Xuan Junwei said to Nanlan Qianxue.

Xuan Junwei had obvious disregard for Lu Tianzi, ignoring him after taking just a single glance at him.

In fact, had it not been for Nanlan Qianxue's extraordinary looks, he would not have bothered with her either.

After all, the two of them were only at the Third and Second Cycle Origin Core realm respectively.

For someone like Xuan Junwei, there was simply no need to associate himself with people of such level.

”Actually, the faction leader has already promised the same thing, so we won't have to trouble you,” Ruan Ling interjected with a meaningful smile.

”Hmm? My great grandfather did?” Xuan Junwei revealed a look of surprise. ”Why?”

”Who knows?” Ruan Ling shrugged with a smirk.

This woman...!

Xuan Junwei could obviously tell that Ruan Ling was teasing him, and had to consciously tell himself to stay cool.

Xuan Junwei continued to smile at Nanlan Qianxue. ”Nevertheless, it is good that he did. Since you just arrived, I suppose you have yet to take a look around? If that's the case, I can bring you around and introduce you to the elders. Who knows? If you so wish to, there might even be a chance for you to join us if I put in a good word for you!”

Xuan Junwei was proud of how smooth he was.

What was the Timeless Flame Sect?

It was one of the four ancient sects, a tier above the rest!

Their sect members had the freedom to travel unhindered throughout the continent, and even the elders and sect leaders of major influences would have to treat them with a certain level of respect!

By throwing out the ultimate bait that was the opportunity to join their Timeless Flame Sect, Xuan Junwei did not believe that any sensible martial artist would be able to resist his offer.

In fact, he had already used this same routine multiple times in the past, and had thus managed to get acquainted with many beauties with ease.

Unfortunately, this was not going to be the same as one of those times.

”Brother Xuan Hao has already offered to show us around, so we will be waiting for him,” Nanlan Qianxue replied nonchalantly.

The light in Xuan Junwei's eyes dimmed a little.
