Chapter 52: Confucian Sect Twelve Young Talents! (1/2)

The next morning, the small courtyard had another visitor.

Ning Wuxie was puzzled about why it had been so lively these past few days. When he opened the door, he saw a familiar face.

It was Meng Cangran.

“Brother Ning, long time no see!” Meng Cangran looked like he had seen a long-lost friend, wearing a bright smile.

“Brother Meng, how is your injury?” Ning Wuxie also smiled and exchanged pleasantries.

“Thanks to Brother Ning’s protection and concern, it is already fine.” Meng Cangran looked at Xuan’er, who was holding a white fox beside Ning Wuxie, with a look of surprise.

“This is the first time I have seen Miss Jiang’s true appearance. She is truly beautiful.”

“With Brother Ning, it is indeed a match made in heaven! With such a good relationship, marriage must be just a few years away, right?”

“Ah, ah, it’s still early…” Ning Wuxie quickly interrupted.

Xuan’er tried hard to maintain her expression but couldn’t help her cheeks turning red. She lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up.

“Where did this little fox come from? Why does it have purple eyes?” Meng Cangran asked curiously, looking at Bai Zhou in Xuan’er’s arms.

“After you and Dantai Ying left, Xuan’er and I caught it in the forest.”

“A little white fox like this, Brother Ning, you didn’t pick up Bai Ze, did you?” Meng Cangran joked.

“Impossible,” Ning Wuxie laughed.

Only Bai Zhou in Xuan’er’s arms drooped its tail, unable to smile.

Ning Wuxie invited Meng Cangran into the small courtyard to sit down and asked Xuan’er to serve tea.

“Brother Ning, I believe you already know the reason for my visit,” Meng Cangran was still as straightforward as ever.

Ning Wuxie nodded, “I know that the Confucian Sect is interested in me, but I didn’t expect you to come personally.”

“Some of the fellow disciples and elders in the clan did not agree with your joining. I insisted on pushing for them to meet your conditions.”

“Oh? What conditions?” Ning Wuxie was taken aback, and his eyes lit up.

The Confucian Sect was wealthy and definitely not lacking in spirit stones.

If they casually gifted him three hundred million, plus the two hundred million promised by Meng Cangran, then for a long time, he and Xuan’er could relax and focus on cultivation!

The precious celestial treasures within the Confucian Sect were also plentiful. It would be great to receive a suitable celestial treasure!

Meng Cangran smiled mysteriously, “A condition you cannot refuse.”

“I plan to make you one of the Twelve Young Talents of the Confucian Sect for the next seven years!”

Ning Wuxie frowned slightly, seemingly unable to process it.

Then, his eyes quickly widened, and the expression on his face was gradually replaced by disbelief and shock!

“Twelve Young Talents?!”

He repeated it again, unsure.

“That’s right. I will persuade my master to agree to your participation in the selection. With his influence from a wealthy family, plus your cultivation and character, becoming one of the Twelve Young Talents is absolutely within reach!”

Seeing Ning Wuxie’s reaction, Meng Cangran smiled with satisfaction.

It was no wonder Ning Wuxie lost his composure; this gift was simply too precious!

The Twelve Young Talents represented that this person was a leader among the younger generation within the Confucian Sect! It also granted the qualification to advance to a higher grade of Confucian scholars!

With this title, Ning Wuxie could travel the world as a distinguished scholar of the Confucian Sect, directly meeting kings and having a place in the court!

This would be more beneficial for Ning Wuxie than countless spirit stones! In the future, when facing the Human Sect and Li Luobing, such an identity was essential for developing influence in the world and having a strong backing!

The missions ahead were too daunting and difficult; the identity of an ordinary disciple could hardly protect him and Xuan’er.

Becoming one of the Twelve Young Talents was a good start!

“Thank you, brother Meng!” Ning Wuxie extended his hand and shook hands with Meng Cangran.

Meng Cangran was even more anxious. After seeing him agree, he said a few words and immediately went back to handle subsequent matters, planning to return to the Confucian Sect.

Ning Wuxie also intended to return with him to participate in the selection of the Twelve Young Talents.

Meng Cangran informed him that the funds he brought, after giving rewards to Liu Zhirui and Chang Han’s families, would only be enough to give one person to Dantai Ying.

And she, on the day of returning to the Hermit Valley, received news from the Yaochi Sect that there had been changes in the sect, and she immediately rushed back without stopping.

Since Ning Wuxie also needed to return to the Confucian Sect, there was no rush to collect the reward, and the Yaochi Sect happened to be on the way back to Gentleman Mountain.

Thus, Meng Cangran planned a route, heading north to the Yaochi Sect located in the eastern part of the Dayu Dynasty, then east to reach the Gentleman Mountain where the Confucian Sect was located.

Such a long distance was difficult for non-immortal cultivators to traverse alone; they had to take a flying boat.

It might take several months in between, but that was fine; there was still plenty of time for the selection of the Twelve Young Talents, which was more than half a year away.

After sending off Meng Cangran, Ning Wuxie immediately began to pack up, and Xuan’er followed him, busying herself.
