Chapter 1342 - 360: Yuchi: I Just Want to Play Hero Once! (3)
"So here’s the explanation: ’How about you join my sect and become my disciple?’"
"Of course, now that I’m proposing this, you must be hesitant, considering you don’t know whether I’m a good or bad person. It’s possible that I’m just trying to lure you into the deep mountains to do something nefarious with you. Then you’d be left lamenting that you haven’t read enough books, having been deceived by a man like me, leaving you heartbroken and in tears."
"Given this situation, you should follow me back to the sect first and take a look. If you’re willing to stay, then you can stay. As for your obsession with your sect, I think you can put it aside for now. Once you’re strong enough and have the ability to protect yourself, we can revive the sect together, right?"
Yuchi just wants to laugh right now. Such a thing seemed unimaginable, and I never expected things would come to this point. But since it’s happening, why resist? I’m really interested in Yuan Xuan.
Setting aside everything else, this little girl’s personality is truly charming. The key is that this beauty has an icy and aloof demeanor.
The contrast is quite significant.
Yuan Xuan slowly removed her hands from her ears, her eyes filled with a myriad of thoughts as she looked at the man before her. She could indeed sense his sincerity and that he had no intention of deceit.
But why suddenly say this? Why suddenly invite her to join his sect? This was all too abrupt.
"Uh, you want me to join your sect?"

"But wouldn’t joining your sect require a lot of money for cultivation? Moreover, who is the sect leader of your sect? What exactly is the situation with your sect? I know none of this."
"And then there’s the matter of my own sect. There are still many trivial things there that need attention. If I were to join your sect, I’d need some time to settle everything with the sect’s disciples, which would require a lot of effort."
Many, many issues flashed through her mind.
She was confused.
"It’s alright. Since you’re willing to trust me, why worry about this? Just come with me to take a look, won’t you? Do you really think I’d want to harm you? Or if I truly intended to harm you, would I need to use such a method to deceive you? After all, you’re a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, and if I wanted to bully you, you could always destroy us both in retaliation."
Yuchi drove the point home.
Yuan Xuan nodded seriously. What he said made sense; if she didn’t like it, she could just leave. Right now, she had no better choice but to believe that his words should be reliable.
But just as she was about to agree, there was a knock on the private room’s door, and a man’s voice came from outside. They heard him say:
"Sect Leader Yuan Xuan, can we start our discussion now?"
"I have many matters to handle. I’ve already wasted a month on you, and now I must return to the State Capital. I have others to recruit."
"Let’s chat here, and then you can follow me back. Trust us; we can provide you with plenty of money. With this money, you could continue running your sect, slowly cultivate, and avoid wasting time on such men."
Who’s this pompous guy appearing out of nowhere, even more pretentious than I am... Yuchi puzzled: "So who’s this man exactly?"
Yuan Xuan furrowed her brows: "He’s from some power in the State Capital. Precisely which power, no one knows. They’re very wealthy, capable of buying us Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and turning us into their lackeys, dealing with dark affairs. You know, this world has many such dark matters that can’t be discussed openly, but someone handles them—and that’s us."
Listening to this conversation is worth a year’s reading. Why a year? Because any more would be too much... He seemed aware of the man’s background but found it odd that Yuan Xuan, as the central figure in this matter, didn’t know the power behind him. It’s peculiar.
Then he began to feel nervous. His face started turning red, his back sweating, and his feet itching. Why? Because he sensed the perfect opportunity to play the hero rescuing the beauty was finally at hand.
