This left Yang Chen momentarily startled, as he thought He Qiu Shui would personally investigate before believing his words. He didn’t expect He Qiu Shui to trust him so easily.
He Qiu Shui spoke in a stiff tone, “Regarding my senior brother’s case back then, I have been personally involved in the investigation for a long time. Over the years, although I haven’t found out much, there are still traces and various doubts. I have always felt that the so-called collusion between my senior brother and the Fire Spirit Beast Group at that time was not that simple. Given my senior brother’s temperament, there was no reason for him to do so, nor was it possible for him to do so. It’s just that I haven’t found a clue!”
“What you said has given me a breakthrough point. I don’t know exactly what He Shangfeng did, but I will start investigating this matter. If what you said is false, I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth and kill you. If what you said is true, Yang Chen, you have the courage to bring this up to me today – this courage, even if I am to go through fire or water for you in the future, I will not hesitate!”
Looking at the determination on He Qiu Shui’s face, Yang Chen smiled slightly, “If senior He Qiu Shui believes there’s falsehood in this matter, you’re welcome to come looking for trouble with me at any time. However, the premise is that I want to advise senior He to be extremely careful when investigating, so as not to alert the suspects! I promised elder He Yunxiao to make this matter public, but as it is now, neither you nor I can make this message public. This matter involves caution, and the Fire Spirit Beast Group is extremely fierce. We should not act recklessly until the situation becomes critical!”
“I am well aware of this!” He Qiu Shui took a deep look at Yang Chen and felt that the young man in front of him was even more extraordinary.
Honest and mature, with a demeanor akin to that of the leader of North Mountain County at the time.
Such a character reminded her of the shadow of He Yun Xiao while he was alive, and thus, she couldn’t help but nurture admiration. She gently said, “Yang Chen, my sincere intention to take you as a disciple is genuine, so I don’t know if you are really interested in it.”
Looking at Yang Chen, He Qiu Shui couldn’t be more satisfied.
Such temperament, such courage…
Moreover, where could she not understand that Yang Chen’s initial nonsense was aimed at testing her?
This was wisdom.
Talent, wisdom, and courageous character all in one, how could she not be tempted?
Yang Chen shook his head, “I won’t join the Canghai Sect!”
“Why, because of He Shang Feng?” He Qiu Shui frowned.
Yang Chen nodded, “Senior He can observe a trace of Elder He Yun Xiao’s shadow from me, and so can He Shang Feng. My Heavenly Thunder Origin remaining in the Canghai Sect would be equivalent to a hidden bomb buried in my body. If I were to become your disciple, not only would I harm myself, but I would also harm you, senior He! Considering all aspects, joining the Canghai Sect is too risky.”
“I didn’t expect you to think so far ahead.” He Qiu Shui let out a sigh, and what Yang Chen considered was even more comprehensive than what she had considered.
Not long after, He Qiu Shui got up and left, allowing Yang Chen to breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that, for now, his decision to bring up this matter to He Qiu Shui was the right one. At least the relationship between He Qiu Shui and He Yun Xiao was not exaggerated by He Yun Xiao alone.
After He Qiu Shui left, a large number of sects came one after another, trying to win over Yang Chen, but all of them were gently refused by him.
He did have some ideas in mind.
His original idea was to choose between Beishan Main City and Yuanshan Sect.
However, it seems that the Beishan Main City had no intention of recruiting him.
This made Yang Chen smile wryly, and with that, his idea of joining the Yuanshan Sect was settled.
The reason for deciding to join the Yuanshan Sect was simple.
It wasn’t because of anything else, but because the Sect Leader of the Yuanshan Sect, Mu Bai Sheng, had personally arrived without a word, and offered conditions beyond what other sects could manage. In one sentence, he said, “You can become the Young Sect Master of the Yuanshan Sect!”
He would be lying if he said he wasn’t tempted by such courage and efforts to win him over.
Therefore, he didn’t rush to join.
He was very calm.
He knew very well that the position of Young Sect Master was not something he could securely have just because Mu Bai Sheng had established it.
First of all, he must show enough strength to make everyone shut up and submit to his Young Sect Master status.
Three days later, two Elders in the Origin Martial Realm from Beishan Main City arrived. After their arrival, they quickly revealed their identities. The people they were looking for were Yang Chen and Zhou Yunxi.
‘Miss Zhou, Young Master Yang, the two of us are here today to invite you both to visit the Purple Gold Pavilion. Also, we are both your guides for today’s visit to the Purple Gold Pavilion. My name is Wang Hong, and I am responsible for Young Master Yang!” This Elder Wang spoke with a faint smile. Despite being a master in the Origin Martial Realm, he didn’t put on airs in front of Yang Chen and Zhou Yunxi.
They knew very well that these geniuses who could enter the Purple Gold Pavilion would, given time, inevitably become existences not inferior to them. Putting on airs like this would only cause displeasure.
There is a saying that goes, “Do not underestimate the young and poor.”
“I am Liu Zhi, responsible for Miss Zhou.” The other elderly man said gently.
Yang Chen and Zhou Yunxi exchanged glances, and Zhou Haoran, fearing that Zhou Yunxi might lack experience, hurriedly said, “Young friend Yang Chen, when you enter the Purple Gold Pavilion, please make sure to keep an eye on my niece. Make sure she doesn’t practice any unsuitable cultivation methods.” Yang Chen couldn’t help but smile, and replied, “Junior will do his best.”
After a brief discussion, Wang Hong and Liu Zhi led Yang Chen and Zhou Yunxi into the Purple Gold Pavilion.
They did not move quickly, and by the time they arrived, several of the geniuses who had secured the top ten quotas for the Secret Realm Jade had already arrived.
However, compared to them, most of these geniuses were from sects and rather arrogant. They didn’t pay much attention to each other, and when they saw Yang Chen, they didn’t even give him a glance.
This wasn’t a strange thing; although Yang Chen’s performance was amazing, his background was far behind theirs. What kind of relationship did they have with Yang Chen?
Since others didn’t have any intention of talking to him, Yang Chen naturally wouldn’t bother.
However, very soon, he raised his eyebrows as he noticed a seemingly gentle and elegant young man in the crowd staring at him. The young man appeared like a gentle spring breeze; however, a fleeting, obscure hostility in his eyes was caught by Yang Chen’s sharp perception.
This left Yang Chen slightly taken aback.
Because, wasn’t this man the famous Yuan Shaoyang of the Ziyang Sect?
