Chapter 899: Rejection (2/2)

”That Mo Wuji actually don’t know how to appreciate your kindness. Why don’t we ask Pang Jie directly? I doubt he will reject you.” Huang’Er transmitted the message back to her.

”Huang’Er, you must not spout nonsense. Senior Pang Jie is after all a God King expert and had his pride as a God King. Remember not to say such words ever again.” Lan Ou’s tone became stricter.

Huang’Er said disdainfully, ”Our Forgotten Creek Dao School has two God Kings. Our supreme lord is already in the advanced God King Stage. So what if he is a God King…”

Lan Ou could only answer, ”Huang’Er, our current strength is miles away from Sect Head Pang Jie’s strength. We are invited to the guest hall not because of our strength but because of the strength of our sects. Therefore, even if we want Mo Wuji, we cannot mention it now. Mentioning it now would be equivalent to slapping the Heavenly Mortal Sect in their face. With Mo Wuji’s capability, he would definitely want to be sent to the God Domain Nest’s incubation. At that point in time, we can ask our sect head to negotiate with God King Pang Jie for the exchange of Mo Wuji for a few items. This was possible as long as we don’t embarrass the Heavenly Mortal Sect too severely.”

…

Mo Wuji couldn’t understand why the Forgotten Creek Dao School’s Lan Ou must stare at him. Fortunately for him, she didn’t continue pestering him. Now that she had entered the guest’s hall, it would not be his problem to settle anymore.

Now that the welcoming ceremony had ended, Mo Wuji’s job was also almost finished. As for the receiving and entertaining of guests, that would be the task of Ancestor Pang Jie and the elders of the sect. He would only need to prepare himself by the side so that he could settle any problems that might appear abruptly.

…

After a few days, the reopening ceremony and God King ritual had finally concluded. Even though the Heavenly Mortal Sect didn’t have much manpower, Mo Wuji’s planning ensured that there were no major issues throughout the ceremony. At least there were still several praises from the public after the ceremony.

As the guests started departing the sect, Heavenly Mortal Sect’s Shi Su started recruiting new disciples on the Heavenly Mortal Plaza.

Mo Wuji was the External Affairs Hall Lord so the recruitment of disciples had nothing to do with him. Just as he was about to return to cultivate, Ancestor Pang Jie personally called him over.

”Wuji, please take a seat first. You have done a very good job for the guest reception this time around. If I were to do it, I might not have done a job as great as you. This was especially so in your treatment of the low grade disciples of the Forgotten Creek Dao School, Nine Evolutions God Sect and Moonlight God Sect. I’ve not misjudged you because not only are you extremely capable in comprehending issues, you have extraordinary abilities.” The instant Mo Wuji reached Pang Jie’s residence, Pang Jie started talking.

Mo Wuji replied calmly, ”This is all because of Ancestor Pang’s prestige which attracted so many experts here to observe the ceremony.”

Pang Jie exclaimed, ”You were in charge of reception so you should have realised that other than the Godly Grain Valley’s Elder, none of the big sects came. The few disciples of the big sects were merely passing by so they decided to join the ceremony coincidentally. Wei Zheng God King was also the only God King who came and he was a rogue cultivator who had a good relationship with us since a long time ago. Wuji, do you know why?”

”Disciple does not know why.” Mo Wuji didn’t know why Pang Jie was telling him these. Logically speaking, Mo Wuji was only an ordinary disciple who would have no qualification to discuss such matters with Ancestor Pang Jie.

”Many years ago, almost all the big sects, except the Godly Grain Valley and a few sects who were located further away, came to rob my Heavenly Mortal Sect. If there wasn’t a rule which prevented God Kings from plotting against or attacking each other, someone might have came to assassinate me already.”

Pang Jie didn’t continue as he looked at Mo Wuji, ”I want to help you find a master and that is God King Wei Zheng. God King Wei Zheng had a wide collection of sacred arts and was in the God King Intermediate Stage. If you’re willing to accept God King Wei Zheng as your master, I will do my best to help you cleanse your spiritual roots.”

When Mo Wuji heard that Pang Jie was finding a master for him, he stood up anxiously. ”Many thanks Ancestor but even though I have an average aptitude, my speed of cultivation is still decent. Moreover, I have my own technique so I don’t intend to take anyone as my master.”

Pang Jie was shocked because he didn’t expect Mo Wuji to reject his offer. Logically speaking, such a good offer wouldn’t be rejected no matter who the person was. As he recalled that Ku Cai had also rejected his offer to take her as his disciple, Pang Jie couldn’t help but feel agonised.

Fortunately, Pang Jie was open minded and kind as he didn’t mind Mo Wuji’s rejection. He sighed and said, ”Wuji, I know you have a low aptitude. I hold you in high regard because you are inspirational and is capable of supervising and managing. Even though you had the lowest cultivation level, you are still able to lead a group of senior brothers and sisters in getting the reception job done.

The truth was that after I become a God King, it wasn’t impossible for the Heavenly Mortal Sect to recruit a few peak grade talents. However, my Heavenly Mortal Sect would still need a leader within the disciples. If your spiritual roots could be cleanse, I intend to make you that leader. Also, for the God Domain Nest Incubation which would happen soon, I intend to let you lead a group of our Heavenly Mortal Sect’s newly recruited disciples over.”

Mo Wuji inwardly praised the good temper of God King Pang Jie as he stood up and bowed. ”Ancestor, I, Mo Wuji, am already a disciple of the Heavenly Mortal Sect so I would definitely do my best for the sect. As for the cleansing of my spiritual roots, I would like to search for that possibility in the incubating God Domain Nest myself.”

Looking at how convincing Mo Wuji sounded, Pang Jie could only say, ”Since that is the case, go back and cultivate then. As for cultivation resources, you can collect them from Elder Hui Yu. After the sect is completely rebuilt, you can choose a mountain for yourself.”
