Chapter 219: Chapter 188 Reward_1

This kid, he’s actually playing tricks on me!

The Leader of Tianhe Sect couldn’t hold back a twitch at the corner of his eye, but it didn’t seem right to continue pressuring Xu Mu.

“No matter the reason, a wrong is a wrong!” The Leader of Tianhe Sect’s voice was severe.

“Starting from today, Lu Baiyu will be locked in Tianfeng Valley until he genuinely repents. Lu Baiyu, do you accept your punishment?!”

“I accept the punishment!” Lu Baiyu answered respectfully.

“And you, being unable to impart discipline also requires punishment!”

The Leader of Tianhe Sect looked at the Leader of the Shenjian Peak.

“I will leave it all to the Sect Master’s judgement!”

“Your punishment will be to face the wall and think about your mistakes for ten years. If any disciple from Shenjian Peak makes a mistake again, you’ll be stripped of all your sect positions!”

“Thanks for your mercy, Sect Master!”

The leader of Shenjian Peak bowed in respect, then left along with Lu Baiyu.

“Is this even a punishment! Whether or not he sincerely regrets, doesn’t that just depend on the elders? And what’s with facing the wall for ten years, isn’t that just the duration of a Golden Core Stage retreat?! And about the reward…”

Li Heng couldn’t help muttering this next to Xu Mu.

“Senior brother, watch your words!”

Xu Mu warned him.

Since the Leader of Tianhe Sect had already spoken, it was impossible for him to go back on his word, especially in front of so many people. If Xu Mu insisted on arguing, it would only make him a laughingstock.

Now that things have ended up this way, it would only trouble to complain. Eventually, Li Heng could only express his dissatisfaction with a cold hum.

“If only the Master was still normal!” Luo Qingchen let out a sigh.

The reason the Leader of Tianhe Sect dared to impose such a punishment was not only to protect the genius Lu Baiyu, but also because Xu Mu didn’t have anyone to back him up.

Speaking of the Person on Gu Feng, a sparkle flicked through Qi Yue’s eyes. He moved closer to Xu Mu and whispered, “Senior brother, why don’t you consider joining our Luo Jian Peak? My master is magnanimous and will certainly not treat you poorly!”

Previously, other peaks didn’t want Xu Mu, thinking his shattered soul limited his talent. But looking at Xu Mu’s results in the big competition, apart from advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage due to his damaged soul, he has almost no other faults. If he manages to advance to the later stages of Golden Core in the future, then that would be a great success.

After all, apart from a small number of cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage, those in the later stages of Golden Core are already considered top-tier figures. They hold significant influence in the Tianhe Sect and can serve as the pillars of various peaks.

“That’s right. As long as you join Luo Jian Peak, your sister will definitely take care of you every day. You know what they say about seizing the first chance, don’t you want that?” Qu Qingdream leaned in closer to Xu Mu and asked in a tempting voice.

The Lonely Sword Peak is different from the other thirty-five peaks. It’s a peak that sect officially allows to leave freely. Even if Xu Mu agreed to join Luo Jian Peak, the other sect members wouldn’t question it.

After all, the Lonely Sword Peak is already an empty shell, keeping a person of Xu Mu’s talent there would be a waste.

“Noway!”

Before Xu Mu could say anything, Li Heng and Luo Qingchen interjected, refusing simultaneously.

Xu Mu is the only hope of the Lonely Sword Peak. If he leaves, the only way for the Lonely Sword Peak to rise again is to wait until the Person on Gu Feng passes away.

“Let’s be real, elder brothers and sister, you’re all aware of the situation at Lonely Sword Peak. Why would you obstruct Junior Brother Xu’s future!” Qi Yue said.

Luo Qingchen and the others seemed unpleasant, yet they were speechless.

“So, Junior Brother Xu, what do you say?”

“Thanks for your kindness, but no need!”

Xu Mu shook his head and laughed in refusal.

It wasn’t that he was nostalgic, he just didn’t see the need. With all the resources about to be gifted to him next, the rewards he had received, and the secret cultivation cavern, whether he moved to another peak or not didn’t make much of a difference to him. If so, why would he bring trouble to himself?

“Junior Brother Xu, are you sure you won’t reconsider!”

Qu Qingdream moved closer to Xu Mu, giving off a faint fragrance.

“If sister is willing to become my Dao companion, then perhaps I might reconsider!” Xu Mu joked.

“In your dreams! Humph!”

Qu Qingdream’s face changed and she immediately refused.

“Then there’s nothing I can do!” Xu Mu shrugged helplessly.

Qu Qingdream glared at him, then turned and left.

She realized Xu Mu was just teasing her and had no intention of joining her peak.

Luo Qingchen at the side looked as if she thought of something, a slight blush appeared on her face.

“Senior Brother, aren’t you afraid that Sister Qu will hold a grudge against you for teasing her?” Qi Yue curiously asked.

“Let her come. Am I supposed to be scared of a woman? In any case, I can always teach her a lesson!” Xu Mu said nonchalantly.

“Senior Brother, you’re really brave! Don’t you know that sometimes when a woman wants to trouble you, she doesn’t necessarily need to take action herself.” Qi Yue warned.
