On the other hand, Ye Tian Yun was also surprised by Jun Xie's invitation to Hu Xing; he was under the impression that Jun Xie would be inviting Zheng Xiang; however, now, two of the top three Core disciples have invited Hu Xing to their leagues.
Now that the two had invited him, the third one was not going to fall behind. After all, a disciple with sword intent wasn't easy to find.
And as expected, Yuan Shuchun turned to her right, crossed her hands, and said, "Junior Brother Hu Xing, well, I won't say much, but I think Heavenly League is best for disciples of your caliber."
"In fact, you should know my cultivation in terms of the sword is second to none among all the disciples; this reason alone should be enough for you to be a part of my League and cultivate with me."
If Jiang Yun's invitation wasn't shocking enough, Yuan Shuchun's words really numbed all disciples' minds.
Who didn't wish to get a chance to talk to her, and here she was offering a disciple to cultivate with her.
If looks could kill, by now, Hu Xing would have been dead for more than a thousand times as all the disciples now stared at him as if he had killed their family.
Ye Tian Yun was also surprised by her words; he hadn't gauged that it was this important for her to get the disciple to join her league.
As for Hu Xing, now in a state where he couldn't even think or say, he was just too overwhelmed even to speak.
After a few moments of silence, Hu Xing opened his mouth and said, "Seniors, this junior brother is overwhelmed by all the invitations I have just received. However, I can't accept any of the invitations and end up offending the other leagues."
"So, I hope you three decide between yourself about which league I should join; I won't object to the decision."
Ye Tian Yun lowkey appreciated this witty reply, and now he was interested to see what the three core disciples will do.
Jiang Yun suddenly smiled at Hu Xing's words and said, "Junior Brother Hu Xing, you don't have to be worried about any repercussions. After all, you will still be the disciple of our Gracious Sword Sect, whether you be a part of my World League or any other league. So, as long as you're loyal to the sect, you won't offend me at the least."
After Jiang Yun finished his words, Jun Xie spoke, " Junior Brother Hu Xing, you don't have to be worried about offending these two. Once you become part of the Nine Supremes, there will be no one who would dare to touch you; in fact, even the cultivation resources that you are so worried about would be like sand for you."
"Being a part of nine supremes gives you lots of privileges; Not only inside the sect but outside the sect, there will be a protective cover over you, wherever you go because outside cultivators have a profound level of respect and fear towards us."
"No one would dare to bully you or your family."
These words stirred Hu Xing.
He understood that tonight could most probably be his luckiest night.
To become a core member of any top League of the Gracious Sword Sect was not a small matter.
And for him, who had suffered lots of hardships in his life, this matter couldn't be any bigger.
Hu Xing was from the Hu Clan of the Capital City, and in the city, the four big clans, Fang, Ling, Gao, and Kang, ruled alongside the Xin Royal Clan.
Hu Clan was part of the Fang Clan's alliance. However, Fang Clan treated them like slaves. This was also why Hu Clan was ridiculed throughout the capital and had to live in suppressed shame.
Hu Xing, who turned out to be a very talented disciple of the Hu Clan's younger generation, aroused Fang CLan's interest and jealousy.
Thus, Fang Clan forced Hu Xing to be the butler of Fang Chen, their clan's young master, saying that Hu Xing will get to learn from a true talent.
Hu Clan had no choice but to comply, and thus, Hu Xing, from one of the best cultivators of the younger generation, became a laughing stock in the capital after he was appointed as the butler for the Fang Clan young master, Fang Chen.
Being an arrogant young master, Fang Chen treated him like a slave and humiliated him in every chance he got.
But one good thing that came out of this was the chance to get into the Gracious Sword Sect with Fang Chen.
However, before the Entrance Exam, Fang Chen suffered Qi Deviation for an unknown reason, and thus, he alone went to be a disciple of the Gracious Sword Sect.
Even then, he hated his fate, he hated the fact that he was born from a weak clan, and he hated Fang Chen the most in the whole world.
Thus, he was determined to cultivate better and overcome his fate and possibly crush the Fang Clan one day.
And tonight, God Of Luck had graced him with a chance to reach his goal faster.
He could now become a core member of any of the two top leagues in the Gracious Sword Sect!
…
While Hu Xing was lost in his thoughts, Ye Tian Yun suddenly decided to get down from the platform and take his seat, not before gesturing Zheng Xiang to follow him.
Seeing Ye Tian Yun's move attracted the attention of many. However, he didn't care and headed towards the platform's edge.
It didn't take long for Zheng Xiang to catch up as they both headed for their seats. And soon, the other disciples of the Seventh Peak followed them.
With Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang leading ahead, the other Seventh Peak Disciples, except Hu Xing, followed them.
However, just as both of them passed Yuan Shuchun, her eyes opened wide in disbelief as two words flashed through her mind.
'Sword Intent!?'
