Chapter 16: Mr. Qin Jiuyou (1/2)

Ning Wuxie was momentarily speechless. How did the Harmony Sect find him?

“…I have long admired your name. May I ask what brings you here?”

The Harmony Sect was a sect on the Spirit Martial Continent that was both righteous and evil, focusing on dual cultivation techniques, and was looked down upon by the righteous sects.

However, since desire was one of humanity’s ultimate driving forces, the Harmony Sect still had many disciples and its influence spread across both the immortal and mortal realms.

Upon hearing Ning Wuxie’s words, the effeminate man showed an appreciative expression.

“Brother Ning is indeed straightforward, speaking directly without beating around the bush. Truly a model for us cultivators, saving time that must be spent on cultivation.”

The beautiful woman twisted her slim waist, adopting a flirtatious posture, her eyes conveying affection.

“Brother Ning looks to be under twenty, yet is so handsome. It’s one thing to be good-looking, but to have such strength… it’s truly unbearable.”

Ning Wuxie was taken aback, his brows slightly furrowing.

“Please speak directly if there is something to discuss. Flattery is unnecessary.”

Seeing that Ning Wuxie remained unmoved, the effeminate man exchanged glances with the woman, revealing a hint of awkwardness.

He turned his head, his demeanor becoming more serious.

“Brother Ning is indeed a young talent. At such a young age, his temperament is already exceptional.”

“To be honest, we are disciples of the Harmony Sect. I am Qin Jiuyou, and this is my junior sister, Liu Zhiyue.”

“Brother Ning’s victory over Jiang Ren yesterday has already spread across half the Spirit Martial Continent. We are here on the orders of our master to befriend you and present a great gift.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Wuxie’s expression finally softened slightly.

If they had mentioned their intentions earlier, it would have been much easier, rather than beating around the bush with flattery.

Qin Jiuyou and Liu Zhiyue had considerable cultivation; otherwise, they would not have been sent by their sect to stay in Hermit Valley.

At the very least, Ning Wuxie could not see through their cultivation at a glance, indicating that they were clearly above him.

If it were an ordinary person, being praised by seniors with higher cultivation would likely make them feel elated, not to mention feeling happy inside.

However, Ning Wuxie was not truly a naive teenager just entering the path of immortality, so it was impossible for him to be swayed by a few flattering words.

He understood better than anyone that in this world, strength was paramount, and all so-called human relationships were merely exchanges of interests based on that foundation.

Although the Harmony Sect was not a righteous major sect and had some dubious reputation, since they came to win him over, Ning Wuxie did not reject them.

Why refuse a free gift? After all, what they wanted was a long-term investment in him, which was equivalent to an empty check.

Ning Wuxie revealed a faint smile, stepped aside, and gestured for them to come in and talk.

“Brother Qin is too kind. The Harmony Sect is willing to befriend me; I could not ask for more.”

“I am just a bit curious. What great gift has your sect brought me? Is it spirit stones, or…?”

Qin Jiuyou and Liu Zhiyue were about to step into the courtyard when they were taken aback by his words.

Ning Wuxie was too straightforward, directly asking for the gift?

They had not even settled down yet!

Qin Jiuyou appeared to be ten years older than Ning Wuxie, yet felt as if he had always been a head shorter in this conversation.

Last night, the master had sent a message, and upon learning that Ning Wuxie was only sixteen, the master immediately dispatched them to win him over.

They hoped that Ning Wuxie would remember this favor and perhaps even have the opportunity to directly recruit him into the Harmony Sect.

At this moment, Qin Jiuyou felt as if they were the ones being taken advantage of…

But he quickly regained his composure and smiled lightly.

“Brother Ning is straightforward. Since that is the case, if I were to continue to be evasive, wouldn’t that seem petty?” —
