93 True arrogance. (1/2)
Li Yang met up with Song Jiahao again after leaving the meeting room, Song Jiahao escorting Li Yang back to his abode. It seemed like the elders were a bit worried that someone would try to attack Li Yang on the way back, looking to take advantage of his wounds to beat him down and show off their strength. Some might consider it a petty and low tactic, but to some, it was a perfectly legitimate one.
When the two reached the area where Li Yang's hut was located, Li Yang was slightly surprised to see that there were quite a few people gathered in front of his house. Blackstone and the two other servants were standing in front of the hut, talking to the crowd that had gathered, seemingly trying to send them away.
Since they had reached Li Yang's house, Song Jiahao's escorting duty had come to an end. He cupped his hands and gave Li Yang a polite farewell, turning around and leaving the area, returning to his own home so that he could focus on cultivation. Li Yang swept the gathered people with a quick gaze, letting out a sigh and speaking up to draw their attention.
”It was pointless for you all to come here, you can leave.”
Li Yang knew what these people had come here for, but he had no interest in bothering with it, so he simply told them straight away that they should leave. Hearing his voice, the group of people turned around and swiftly flocked over, surrounding Li Yang and calling out in loud voices.
”If you let me join your faction, I'm willing to hand over half of my monthly earnings!”
”I'll give you half of the contribution points I earn each month if you let me join you!”
”My family is famous for being skilled in alchemy, I'll personally create potions and medicines for you if you let me join your faction!”
People continued to shout out offers, doing their best to drown out the voices of the others. Li Yang had beaten one of the top five outer disciples, showing that he was just as strong as them. But Li Yang didn't have any faction, not even a single follower. If they managed to latch onto him early, there was no telling how many rewards they might reap. Just saying that they were part of Li Yang's faction would be enough to scare away most people who tried to go against them. Li Yang once again let out a sigh, shaking his head and pushing past the people that were blocking his path.
”As I said, it was pointless of you all to come here, you can leave.”
He just wanted to return to his room so that he could finish his healing and then start cultivating his body and soul. Some people would love to be flocked like this, but to Li Yang, it was simply annoying. Sadly, it seemed like these people were adamant about joining him, rushing forth to surround him and block his path again.
”I'm a strong fighter, I can even beat some people who have a cultivation one stage above me! You'll gain a mighty and loyal ally if you let me join you, I'm even willing to do most things!”
