Chapter 16: Mr. Jiu Yaoqin (Part 1)

Ning Wuxie was momentarily speechless. How did a member of the Hehuan Sect come knocking on his door?

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

The Hehuan Sect was a sect on the Lingwu Continent that walked the line between righteousness and evil, specializing in dual cultivation techniques, which were looked down upon by orthodox immortal sects.

However, lust was one of the ultimate driving forces of humanity, and the Hehuan Sect still had many disciples, with influence spanning both the immortal and mortal realms.

Upon hearing Ning Wuxie’s words, the effeminate man showed a hint of appreciation:

“Ning Wuxie is indeed straightforward. Speaking directly without beating around the bush. Truly a role model for us cultivators. If we save time like this, we can devote it all to cultivation.”

The beautiful woman twisted her slender waist, adopting a flirtatious posture, her eyes filled with affection:

“Ning little brother doesn’t even look like he’s reached adulthood yet, how can he be so handsome? Not to mention his strength… it’s unbearable.”

Ning Wuxie paused, furrowing his brows.

“Please, get to the point. Enough with the flattery.”

Seeing Ning Wuxie unmoved, the effeminate man and his companion exchanged a glance, showing a hint of embarrassment.

He turned his head, adopting a more serious attitude.

“Ning Wuxie is truly a young talent. So young, yet possessing such a superior temperament.”

“To be honest, I am a disciple of the Hehuan Sect. I am Qin Jiuyaoqin, and this is my junior sister, Liu Zhiyue.”

“Ning Wuxie’s crossing of realms to defeat Jiang Ren yesterday has already spread throughout half of the Lingwu Continent. We were also sent by our sect to come and make friends with Ning Wuxie, as well as offer a generous gift.”

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

Trying to get close, huh? Should have said so earlier instead of beating around the bush and spouting nonsense.

Qin Jiuyaoqin and Liu Zhiyue were not ordinary in their cultivation levels; otherwise, they would not have been sent by their sect to reside in the Yinsi Valley.

At least Ning Wuxie couldn’t see through their cultivation levels at a glance, indicating they were clearly above him.

For an ordinary person, being praised by a senior with higher cultivation levels would likely have made them ecstatic. Not only would they appear happy on the surface, but there would also be some joy in their hearts.

But Ning Wuxie was not just a young man who had recently embarked on the path of immortality; how could he be fooled by a few words and lose his bearings?

He was well aware that in this world, strength ultimately reigned supreme. Based on this foundation, all so-called personal relationships were nothing more than exchanges of interests.

Although the Hehuan Sect was not a major orthodox immortal sect and had some suspicions of being shady, since they came to woo him, Ning Wuxie did not reject them.

Given the opportunity for free benefits, why not take it? Besides, if the other party wanted something from him, it would be like holding a blank check against himself in the long run.

Ning Wuxie smiled faintly, stepping aside to gesture for them to enter and talk.

“Qin Xiong is too kind. The Hehuan Sect is willing to make friends with me; I couldn’t ask for more.”

“I’m just a little curious. What kind of generous gift has your sect sent me? Is it spiritual stones or…?”

Qin Jiuyaoqin and Liu Zhiyue were about to step through the courtyard gate when they also paused.

Was Ning Wuxie being too straightforward, directly asking for benefits before they even sat down?

They hadn’t even settled down yet!

Although Qin Jiuyaoqin appeared ten years older than Ning Wuxie, he felt like he was always a step behind in conversation when facing this young man.

Last night, their sect leader had sent word upon learning that Ning Wuxie was only ten years old. They immediately dispatched them to win him over.

Hoping that Ning Wuxie would remember this favor, and perhaps even have the chance to directly recruit him into the Hehuan Sect.

But at this moment, Qin Jiuyaoqin felt like they were the ones being taken advantage of…

However, he quickly reacted with a relaxed smile.

“Ning Wuxie is straightforward. In that case, if I beat around the bush again, wouldn’t it seem petty?”
