“Master, I… I have only been in the inner sect for a short while.

Fang Yuan was not too happy about it.

He was a low-profile person.

To live a new life, he cherished his life very much.

He knew the principle that the tallest tree in the forest would be destroyed by the wind.

How could he be willing to stand at the center of the storm as the leader and be stabbed in the spine by the other nine people?

To be honest, he did not have much of a reputation in the Gu Immortal Sect.

He was not even as good as Zhang Wenbin.

Even Wan Qian’s reputation was more resounding than his.

She had at least the title of one of the three experts of the younger generation. What about him?

He had no battle results and no achievements.

At most, his strength was passable.

No one knew about him yet!

No matter how amazing he was in the outer sect competition, it was only the outer sect.

Those who could enter the inner sect were all amazing.

Only the status of Gu Zhenren’s personal disciple could make others think highly of him.

But this could not convince the masses.

In this world, status did not matter.

Fang Yuan did not want to adjust his relationship with the other nine teammates, and in fact, there was no need to.

He only wanted to cultivate silently. When crisis came, he could take care of himself and the people around him.

Gu Zhenren thought he did not have enough experience, thus he explained, “Actually, the Gu Dao convention is a way for the empire to befriend rising stars of the sects.”

“It is held once every four years, and it happens to be held at the same time as the inner sect competition of each sect that happens every four years.”

“Our Gu Immortal Sect’s outer sect competition that you were in happened to be the fourth year.”

“And in the past three years, the results of the disciples who got into the inner sect were not as good as yours.”

“Moreover, you are my personal disciple, it is only natural for me to let you lead the team.”

Fang Yuan scratched his head, feeling annoyed. He did not know how to reject.

Gu Zhenren smiled. “The Gu Dao convention is a grand gathering of Gu masters from the entire empire. The victorious sect will not only receive the title of Yan Shen’s number one sect, the top hundred will also be rewarded.”

Fang Yuan’s eyes immediately lit up. “Are the rewards generous?”

Looking at his money-grubbing little disciple, Gu Zhenren couldn’t help but laugh. “Those who perform well will even get a chance to enter the palace to meet the emperor. If they can receive the emperor’s appreciation, the benefits naturally go without saying.”

Fang Yuan wasn’t interested in the so-called emperor’s appreciation, but since it was the ruler of the Yan Shen Empire, he definitely wouldn’t be stingy with his attacks.

After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Yuan felt that the benefits of this trip were greater than the disadvantages.

If he could get a Platinum quality Gu worm, it would be limitless for his future development.

“Okay! Master, I’ll go!”

Fang Yuan agreed immediately.

“You’re so straightforward, aren’t you going to make any requests?” Gu Zhenren asked in understanding.

“Hehe, can I?”

Fang Yuan was a little embarrassed that his thoughts were exposed.

“No!”

Gu Zhenren’s expression was serious, “You are going out with the glory of the sect this time, don’t embarrass me.”
