913 The Ship Of Thieves And A Show-Off (1/2)

After listening to Shi Wuchen, Ren Qingkuang and Lan Ruojun lapsed into a state of deep thought.

Why was Shi Wuchen giving out such a strange vibe today?

It was completely different from his indifferent self in the past.

Could a person possibly experience such a massive change in just three years?

”What are you looking at? Me anxiously pushing you to join the Residence of Nine Supremes was only for your own good. If the both of you join now, there is a huge chance that I might be able to seize a few positions for you…”

Shi Wuchen persuaded them earnestly and patiently. ”Time will wait for no one if one is too late. Once a sect starts developing, it'll flourish as fast as it can. Today, your presence is still considered a vital addition to the sect, but if you miss this opportunity, you can't even be extra icing on an already perfect cake!”

Ren Qingkuang and Lan Ruojun pondered upon these words. What he said did make quite some sense.

Being a great help in a dire time of need would certainly deliver a bigger impact than being the icing on an already perfect cake. If they joined now, although they might not completely be of vital assistance, it would certainly be more impactful than being inconsequential icing in the future!

”Fine!”

Under Shi Wuchen's guidance, the two individuals first made the oath of God's Will to join the Residence of Nine Supremes. It was followed by paying respects to the sect leader Yun Yang, officially making them members of the Residence.

After confirming that they had really become members of the Residence, they were both overwhelmed with confusion.

There was no other reason; they both did not feel the assimilation of the Celestial Luck Banner into their bodies…

”Why… Why can't I feel the stacked-effect of luck from the Celestial Luck Banner? Have my senses stopped working properly because of my severe injuries?” Lan Ruojun was utterly confused.

Shi Wuchen's face darkened. ”It's only a problem if you can feel the effects of the Celestial Luck. The Residence of Nine Supremes is just a newly-formed sect. The sect has not even finished construction, so how would we possess a Celestial Luck Banner? You think too much!”

Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang felt a fleeting sensation of dizziness.

”A… A newly-formed sect?”

”Yes,” replied Shi Wuchen. ” With the two of you, there are altogether five people in the Residence of Nine Supremes — the numbers make up an entire palm.”

He pointed towards Yun Yang. ”There's our sect leader, me, the two of you, and a majordomo who's at our headquarters, overseeing the construction of the sect.”

Upon hearing that, both their bodies shuddered involuntarily. Lan Ruojun slapped a hand over his forehead. ”Shut up… Stop talking… Oh… I feel a little faint…”

The same feeling surfaced simultaneously within their hearts. ”We've boarded a ship of thieves for real…”

Yet, the oath was already made in the name of God's Will. Under the witness of God's Will, no matter how much they regretted their decision, it was simply too late!

At that moment, the two of them were overwhelmed by a sudden urge to wail.

Their motivation for joining quickly was to avoid being redundant icing on top of an already perfect cake — but they had never expected the so-called cake to be so distant from them!

”Shi Wuchen… Y-Y-You…” Ren Qingkuang exuded a huge sigh even as he began to wail. ”You really think you're not responsible for screwing us over, do you? Aaargh!”

Shi Wuchen snorted as he folded his arms. ”I'm telling you — don't be ignorant regarding my good intentions. Only heaven knows how much of a good deal you've gotten yourselves into, and you still dare to accuse me of screwing you over in front of me? Hmph! The time will come where you fellows will be grateful towards me!”

Lan Ruojun gritted his teeth. ”Shi Wuchen, I'll thank you right now. I'll thank all eight generations of your ancestry. I don't think it's enough to thank every each one of them just once — perhaps I should deliver a whole new round of gratitude!”

Shi Wuchen gave a huge snort and replied, ”It's really hot today.” He then proceeded to remove his garments.

Lan Ruojun and Ren Qingkuang restrained themselves from sniggering.

Although the weather today was not that cold, it was not that hot either. How hot could the weather be around the time from March to April?

Furthermore, judging by Shi Wuchen's Saint Level cultivation base, he should be immune to the cold or the heat. He should not have felt anything, no matter how hot it was.
