116 Get Out of The Way, Let The Professional Handle It! (2/2)

Being countered by Wang Lu, Zhu Qin was momentarily speechless; but after a moment, he sneered. “Even if you want to experience the Immortal Cultivation World in the Nine Regions, you don’t have to throw yourself in the bog!”

Wang Lu lightly laughed. “Have Junior Brother Zhu Qin never heard of the phrase ‘to grow out of the mud unsullied?’ Looks like your intelligence is not enough.”

“You motherf…” Zhu Qin almost lost control of himself! You have the nerve to say this thing to me!?

After Yue Xinyao and Zhu Qin had been, one by one, rendered speechless, unsurprisingly, that cold female voice rang through his ears. “Oh? So, according to your argument, you joined the Wisdom Sect because you want to cultivate?”

Wang Lu inwardly sneered, thinking, “I’m just waiting for you to say this! Ha! Although you can force the awakening type Wen Bao into a dead end, which shows that there’s indeed a capable person in this place, what a pity...”

“A pity that you’ve encountered a professional!”

“Not because of cultivation, but because of liking other people,” Wang Lu said, casually denying Qian Hu’s assumption.

Qian Hu sneered. “Because of your own affair, therefore, you…”

However, before she could finish her sentence, Wang Lu abruptly interrupted her. “Therefore, it’s not only for Junior Sister Yue but also for you.”

Qian Hu’s long argument was immediately choked in her throat. “...me?”

Wang Lu leisurely said, “Yeah, because I like you.”

Puff!

Wen Bao who had just regained his consciousness was thoroughly screwed.

Meanwhile, the hall had fallen into a deadly silent.

“You, you…” Qian Hu’s voice was rough and dry. Her initial plan was abruptly cut off by Wang Lu’s remark, which completely threw her off balance.

If the other side was just any other person, she could just utter a sneer and say, “What a load of crap!” Then she would promptly execute him on the spot. However, the other side was clearly the fellow martial brother of the Crown Prince. Moreover, he wasn’t a commoner either, which made her rather afraid.

Striking while he was still ahead, Wang Lu laughed. “I like you, that’s why I joined the Wisdom Sect. While struggling diligently to become a man worthy of Junior Sister Yue, I also want to do things for you to the best of my ability.”

“Y-You joined the Wisdom Sect, also because of me!?”

“Yeah.” Wang Lu went silent for a moment, and then said, “Li Nana, ancestral home in Golden Yue Country, Southern Heaven Region. Your parents moved here, and your father was entrusted by the Great Ming Country’s Imperial Court to be the head of the Mansion of Light. When your father died, you inherited his official position. However, because you’re limited by your age, and also because of lacking in means of doing things, the people who works in the Mansion of Light were discontent, and the court’s support was not as robust as before. Thus, the institution’s power and influence began to decline, unable to reach its former glory… am I right?”

Li Nana was somewhat surprised, but she soon realized that this information was not a secret, so it was normal if the other side could find it.

Actually, at this time, thousands of miles away at Wang Family Village, Wang Lu indeed had just gotten the information from Ye Chuchen; he had said that information while he read it!

“Your qualification is very good, and your parents have also taught you a great method. Now in your young age, you’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, faster than many disciples from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. Moreover, you’ve been taught the ways of the world since you’re still very young, and you’re also much more intelligent than the average cultivators. But even so, your hands and feet are actually tied in this Mansion of Light that even the rapid development of our Wisdom Sect you’re nearly powerless to prevent, and almost couldn’t detect. Of course, it’s not because you’re incompetent, but because this deformed institution is already decayed… that’s why I want to help you.”

“You…?”

“What is the most lacking in the Mansion of Light right now? It’s manpower. If you have this, you can set up massive amount of branches throughout the country; you also need plenty of grassroots worker, just like the country’s official system. However, because of too many reasons, these several years, the Mansion of Light was practically just a mere figurehead, like a pavilion in the air that lacks the connection to the ground. However, it just so happens that our Wisdom Sect is built on the ground, with grassroots support and unparalleled influence all across the country; the information that you have found about us is but a bit of loose sand that leaked from the crevices of our fingers… Of course, if we really want to change the sky, we have neither the ability nor the need. However, actually, I think the Mansion of Light and Wisdom Sect should establish a cooperative relationship, each takes what he needs, using other’s strength to make up for one’s weak points. You need the basic manpower from the Wisdom Sect to carry out your power, and we need the upper echelons power of the Mansion of Light, at the very least, we need a status. If only by virtue of interests alone, the cooperation between the two organizations is not stable enough, then if we add the emotional factor, wouldn’t it be very good?”

“This…” Li Nana’s delicate eyebrows furrowed, her arms crossed, deep in thought; apparently, she was moved by these words.

“Ridiculous!”

At this time, Zhu Qin spoke against that notion, “Are you kidding me? You expect the Great Ming Country’s Mansion of Light to collude with you cult!?”

“Cult?” Wang Lu threw another sneer. “Besides me, have you ever seen any other member of Wisdom Sect? Your knowledge of this sect is limited to the filtered and modified information from other people, yet you boldly assert that it’s not worth cooperating with a cult, even in spite of our relationship as fellow martial brothers of the same sect!? Junior Brother Zhu Qin, is this your eight months of experiential learning cultivation achievement? Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!”

“You…”

“As early as thousands of years ago, Great Ancestors De Sheng have already said that, without investigation, no one has the right to judge. I can’t believe that until today, you have yet to learn from experience… You want to know whether Wisdom Sect is a cult or not? It’s very easy, just come with me and experience the life in the Wisdom Sect, investigate it in deep, and then think about it and make a conclusion.”

“…”

“What do you think, Junior Sister Yue? This invitation is also for you. Just consider this as a rare experience.”

Zhu Qin felt silent for a long time before he roared, “Absurd! This is absolutely absurd! You…”

Before he finished his words, however, he heard the cold female voice beside him. “Okay. I do have some interest in your so-called cooperation.”

Zhu Qin felt that his eyes socket couldn’t hold back his eyes!

“Senior Qian Hu, y-you need to consider this clearly!”

However, Li Nana no longer cared for him.

Zhu Qin had to turn his head to seek another person for help. “Junior Sister, you…”

But behold, Yue Xinyao gently smiled as she said, “I think what Senior Brother said is right. Without investigating it, no one has the right to judge.”

“What the! You’re not serious, aren’t you!? He’ll kill you!”

Yue Xinyao seriously shook her head and, with her clear and gentle eyes, looked across from her. “No, I don’t think so. He said he likes me.”
