Chapter 51: Brother Ning Was a True Gentleman! (1/2)

Not long after returning home, a knock sounded at the door.

Ning Wuxie went to answer the door and discovered that it was disciples from the Confucian Sect, Human Sect, and Hermit Valley.

They came to invite Ning Wuxie to join their sects on the orders of the elder.

Ning Wuxie was confused; he wondered when he had attracted the attention of the Human Sect and Hermit Valley, even though he could understand the Confucian Sect’s interest.

Was it that he was not hidden enough?

After hastily sending off the three disciples, Ning Wuxie closed the door.

He did not take the invitations from the three sects too seriously.

He had no intention of joining any sect.

As for the Human Sect, there was no need to mention it; the enmity from a previous life made him unwilling to get involved, even if it was centuries ago.

Hermit Valley required following a powerful master, which came with too many rules and restrictions, leaving no freedom.

He planned to reach the peak of the Spirit Condensing Realm before starting his revenge plan.

In his previous life, Li Luobing’s subordinates and those elders from the Human Sect who had bullied his genius friends would be sought out one by one.

If he followed a master, he would not be able to act freely.

The Confucian Sect, on the other hand, had no such taboos. It was a large faction with a free atmosphere and abundant resources.

However, the Confucian Sect was a prestigious sect and would not invest too much effort for a mere Spirit Condensing Realm cultivator.

The benefits offered would be limited, making it not worth joining.

……

In Hermit Valley, at the Confucian Sect’s residence.

Unlike the imposing and fierce Human Sect, the Elder Pavilion was simple and elegant, while the Confucian Sect’s courtyard was decorated in extreme luxury without being gaudy.

Jade bamboo, jade tables, and jade wall tiles adorned the place. The Confucian Sect revered gentlemen as jade, warm and elegant, so valuable jade products were found everywhere in the courtyard. There was almost no vulgar color like gold or red.

The entire courtyard resembled a celestial pavilion built with clear sky blue and lustrous ivory white, shining and transparent, radiating brilliance.

In the main hall, Dongfang Yu sat with several other disciples from the Confucian Sect who had come to this place.

After the disciple reported Ning Wuxie’s response, before Dongfang Yu could express his opinion, a tall and slender man with narrow eyes suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

“This guy is too arrogant! I think our Confucian Sect does not need such a human!”

After he spoke, the other disciples from the Confucian Sect nodded in agreement, their faces showing indignation.

“Yin Pingzhi, please calm down,” Dongfang Yu reassured. “Let’s first hear what Cangran thinks.”

He turned his head to Meng Cangran, who was sitting on the other side.

“Cangran, you completed a mission in the demon domain with this young man. What do you think?”

Meng Cangran stood up excitedly, cupping his hands to Dongfang Yu.

“Uncle Dong, Ning Wuxie’s cultivation is profound, and his character is upright. He possesses the demeanor of a gentleman! Our Confucian Sect must recruit him!”

“The reason he said such things is undoubtedly to test our sincerity!”

“Oh?” Dongfang Yu was taken aback, not expecting Meng Cangran to hold Ning Wuxie in such high regard.

He had felt some dissatisfaction when he heard the disciple’s report earlier.

But Meng Cangran’s praise of Ning Wuxie as having the demeanor of a gentleman was an extremely high evaluation for someone from the Confucian Sect!

He felt uncertain and decided to listen to Meng Cangran’s opinion, as he had interacted with Ning Wuxie the most and was also his senior brother’s favorite disciple.

“Ning Wuxie is a righteous human, serious and steadfast, and he is certainly capable of great things!”

“He showed great care for his companions. When I was trapped in the demon domain, he risked himself to come forward and save me.”

“His intellect is exceptional, and he casually shared some profound insights that left the disciples pondering and feeling enlightened!”

Dongfang Yu’s expression gradually became strange. “Is that so?”

Images involuntarily surfaced in his mind of Ning Wuxie in the forest outside the Peak Valley, using his words to shatter Jiang Ren’s heart, defeating him, forcing Li Luobing to beg for mercy, and marking her with a wish curse…
