Chapter 289 – Too Much Interference (2/2)

“Could it be that Sir does not know our Four Illusory Court is located here?” The surprised look on Lei Yu’s face made the youth feel strange. In the Immortal World, there’s not many people that didn’t know where the location of the five great Sects were.

As the two looked at each other smiling, “This is embarrassing; I came from the Chaotic Star Sea and had just entered the Immortal World. I’m not familiar with the places and previously strayed into the Southern Wild Lands. I had just left that place in a hurry and arrived here. I won’t disturb you anymore and will take my leave.” After saying that, Lei Yu was prepared to leave.

“Excuse me.”

“Excuse me!”

Lei Yu was just about to leave when a voice came from within the tornado, “Sir, please stay for a bit!”

Turning his head around, Lei Yu noticed a middle-aged man - a wooden hairpin held his long salt and pepper gray hair in an orderly fashion. Although this person’s face looked like he was easy going, but he had a pair of mouse-like crafty eyes that Lei Yu hated. He would often see people on television with those mouse-like eyes and they would all happen to be treacherous individuals. Towards these people, Lei Yu didn’t have a good impression of them but since he had already stopped, he couldn’t be rude. Lei Yu then smiled, “Is there something you need?”

“Earlier I heard that Sir came from the Chaotic Star Sea?”

“Right.” Lei Yu nodded in response but was inwardly shocked. Not even mentioning the chaotic atmosphere this tornado created, to be able to hear his own words while the wind was screaming about while maintaining the formation; this made Lei Yu feel like it was just too incredible. Lei Yu unconsciously focused his spiritual perception on this middle-aged person and realized he was an expert at the mid Fusion Soul stage!

The middle-aged man nodded, “I’m going to be presumptuous and ask: How did Sir with your current strength manage to pass through the dangerous Chaotic Star Sea and arrive at the Immortal World?”

The question by the middle-aged person was considered a low blow. If this was asked in the modern Mortal World, most likely this middle-aged person would be pummeled by others already. This question was clearly him looking down on Lei Yu!

But since he was in someone else's territory, Lei Yu didn’t want to act rashly and lightly replied: “It was all due to luck. There were several risky encounters but it was somehow solved eventually, allowing me to safely arrive at the Immortal World.”

“Is that really true?” The middle-aged man’s small eyes evaluated Lei Yu.

“It’s true!” Lei Yu didn’t bother looking at him in the eyes. He didn’t know what this middle-aged guy was up to but he knew he had to be careful.

“Master Uncle, this friend had merely gotten lost.” Said the earlier youth.

“Go back and guard your position.” The middle-aged person waved his hand and the youth turned around to leave.

Immediately after, the middle-aged person’s little beady eyes landed on Lei Yu. “I wonder if Sir would be willing to have some tea in my Four Illusory Court?”

“Oh?” Lei Yu was slightly puzzled by this gesture. He already told the middle-aged person that he came from the Chaotic Star Sea so why was he inviting him in? Shouldn’t the great Sects of the Immortal World be closed to outsiders?

In fact, what Lei Yu didn’t know was that even though the Four Illusory Court excelled with formations, the Sect didn’t have a lot of disciples. The Sect was almost at the edge of the Immortal World and bordering the Southern Wild Lands, so many cultivators would first past by the other great Sects and wouldn’t be willing to continue further to try their luck at the Four Illusory Court. Therefore even if the Four Illusory Court wanted to recruit more disciples, they couldn’t because of their location.

But it’s not like any average Joe can join their Sect; they do have their own requirements for accepting new disciples. Whether what those requirements are, Lei Yu will understand it once he enters.

Lei Yu felt he shouldn’t refuse another person’s good intentions, and plus he had nowhere to go to for now so he smiled and nodded, “It is better to accept deferentially than to decline courteously, so thanks for your hospitality!”
