Chapter 9

"Welcome, Young Master Xie, welcome, welcome."

Young Master Xie was also a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, an inner gate disciple.

This was the first time Lu Shaoqing and Xiao Yizhang had met, but he was already very familiar with the one in front.

Xie Chong, an inner gate disciple of the Biyun Peak of the Lingxiao Sect.

He was exceptionally talented and was now at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.

It was said that he would soon be promoted to a core disciple.

Xie Chong and the other two entered with the arrogance of disciples from a major sect.

They only nodded at Zhang Jin, who came to greet them.

"Arrange a room for us."

Xie Chong spoke calmly, "Today, I will be hosting two senior brothers from the Guiyuan Pavilion here."

"Ah, disciples of the Guiyuan Pavilion, I am the manager here, welcome, welcome."

Zhang Jin wasted no words, leading the three to a private room.

However, upon arriving at the private room, Xie Chong was somewhat displeased, "Manager Zhang, what's going on?"

"Is this your best private room?"

"Or do you think I and the two senior brothers are not worthy of your best private room?"

Xie Chong's tone was unfriendly, his gaze sharp like a sword, staring at Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin broke into a sweat.

These were people from the Lingxiao Sect and the Guiyuan Pavilion, not someone a mere manager could afford to offend.

He hurriedly explained, "Young Master Xie, it's not that I don't want to, but the best private room is already occupied."

"Oh, by whom?"

Xie Chong was unconcerned.

"Ask him to leave, I can give him some compensation."

Zhang Jin said, "I heard it's the personal disciple of the Tianyu Peak of your sect, Young Master Lu and Miss Xiao."

"Lu Shaoqing?" Xie Chong was immediately surprised.

The two young men from the Guiyuan Pavilion also showed surprise.

"Is it the Tianyu Peak where Senior Brother Ji Yan is from?"

Ji Yan had recently made a big impression at the gathering of the three major sects, leaving a deep impression on these cultivators.

If one were to say that Ji Yan was the top among the young generation of the three major sects, no one would object.

"Is this Young Master Lu also very strong?"

One of the two from the Guiyuan Pavilion, Zhang Zheng, asked.

He had a look of admiration.

Ji Yan's performance was impeccable, even the people from the Guiyuan Pavilion had no thoughts of competing with him.

"Two outstanding figures of one peak?"

The other young man, Wu Tianzong, had a similar expression.

However!

After being surprised, Xie Chong's face was full of disdain.

"Senior Brother Wu, there are no two outstanding figures of one peak."

"Senior Brother Ji Yan is our pride, while Senior Brother Lu Shaoqing is our disgrace."

"To be honest, when we meet outsiders, we don't even want to mention him."

Zhang Zheng became interested, "Why is that?"

Zhang Jin also perked up his ears. Although he had been here for a long time, he had hardly heard anything about Lu Shaoqing.

He was too low-key, to the point where Zhang Jin didn't even know there was such a person on the Tianyu Peak.

But it couldn't be helped; the most dazzling figure on the Tianyu Peak was Ji Yan.

Even Master Shao Cheng seemed to pale in comparison under such brilliance.

"To put it simply, this person can be described with two words: lazy and useless."

"Lazy, because he hardly cultivates, and it's unknown if he has even reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Useless, naturally, he is a waste. If he were in a noble family, he would be a spoiled brat."

"The sect's head and elders have criticized his behavior many times, but he never listens, relying on his master's protection."

"So, the reason you rarely hear about his deeds is that the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect are ashamed and don't want to mention him outside."

I see.

After hearing this, Zhang Jin looked down on him.

So he's a spoiled brat, no wonder he was so arrogant, kicking me out.

Wu Tianzong asked, "Since he's like that, why did the peak master of the Tianyu Peak take him as a disciple?"

Xie Chong replied, "We don't know either, but according to rumors, Senior Brother Ji Yan is very good to him, maybe that's why he was taken in by the Tianyu Peak."

"After all, getting Senior Brother Ji Yan is worth it, even if it means taking in others as well."

Zhang Zheng and Wu Tianzong nodded in agreement.

If Ji Yan were to join the Guiyuan Pavilion, even if he brought a hundred or a thousand useless people, the Guiyuan Pavilion would gladly accept them all.

After hearing this, Zhang Jin no longer cared about Lu Shaoqing. He asked Xie Chong, "Young Master Xie, do you need to ask him to give up the private room?"

Xie Chong thought for a moment and said, "No, it's fine."

Although he looked down on Lu Shaoqing, Lu Shaoqing was a personal disciple, with a much higher status than he, an inner gate disciple.

He didn't dare to offend him rashly, and he was also afraid of offending Ji Yan.

Ji Yan was very popular in the Lingxiao Sect, and offending him would be cutting off ties with the Lingxiao Sect.

Zhang Zheng and Wu Tianzong exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.

Zhang Zheng smiled, "Brother Xie, we two want to meet this Young Master Lu, is that okay?"

Xie Chong hesitated, "This..."

To be honest, he wasn't familiar with Lu Shaoqing, having seen him only a few times.

To be honest, many disciples of the Lingxiao Sect had never even seen Lu Shaoqing.

Lu Shaoqing had missed many sect gatherings, so some disciples had never seen him after joining the sect.

Xie Chong had only seen him once from a distance at a sect gathering.

Wu Tianzong said, "Brother Xie, are you afraid of him?"

This involved a man's pride.

Xie Chong immediately stiffened his neck, "You're joking, how could I, Xie Chong, be afraid of him?"

Zhang Zheng said, "Let's go and meet him. After all, being able to connect with a personal disciple of the Lingxiao Sect is rare."

"Moreover, he is Senior Brother Ji Yan's junior brother. If we can connect with Senior Brother Ji Yan through him, it would be beneficial for both of us."

Xie Chong agreed, "Alright, let's visit Young Master Lu."

Zhang Jin was happy to see this. As a shrewd person, how could he not see through Zhang Zheng and Wu Tianzong's ulterior motives?

But he didn't expose them; instead, he eagerly led the way.

On the way, Wu Tianzong asked Xie Chong again, "Brother Xie, is his strength really average?"

Xie Chong nodded firmly, "Everyone says so, even the sect head calls him a lazybones."
