Chapter 586: Leaping onto a god’s head to make trouble
Upon hearing this voice, the trio looked towards the door and saw the long-faced man walk into the shop with a smile.
He was the general manager of this Li Fire Sect shop.
He was dressed fabulously and his body was covered in treasures. Just a simple pendant he wore was worth several hundred low-ranked relics.
Although the two siblings did not know him, they could feel a pressure coming from the long-faced man.
He was a person with prominent status.
As the girl had this thought, she saw the arrogant-looking fat shopkeeper turn respectful to the long-faced man.
“Young master Lai, I gave an additional two low-ranked relics because I pitied these two siblings. Yet, they were ungrateful, I am really… Hai!”
The fat shopkeeper gave an expression of being doubted despite his kind grace, while shaking his head.
He knew that with Gongsun Lai’s discernment abilities, he would long since have seen the value of the rock; hence, he began to put on a play with him.
The long-faced man gave a dismissive look, “Old Luo, you are in the wrong. The way our Li Fire Sect do business, we must also do kind deeds while pursuing profits. A mere look at this siblings, and you would know they have come from afar… They likely come from an average background. Are you here in Heaven Martial City to search for your martial path?”
The long-faced man had been in business for many years, so he could guess the siblings’ purpose in Heaven Martial City at a glance. It was not any wonderful ability, because he had seen numerous people like them over the years. They would come from some rural place, and would sell off all of their assets before coming to Heaven Martial City to chase their dreams at all costs, but in the end… most of them ended in misery!
The siblings before him would likely end up the same, besides… they also had a mysterious rock that they lacked the capacity to protect.
This was not something good for them.
This was how the long-faced man came to this conclusion as his smile turned warm. Taking this mysterious rock away from the siblings was in a way averting any disaster that might later befall them because of it.
This was also a reflection of his own words, The Li Fire Sect would do kind deeds while pursuing profits in business.
“Hey, Sister, it is that generous sir.”
The youth saw Yi Yun standing behind the long-faced man…
From the matter of entering the city, the siblings had a good impression of Yi Yun. With Yi Yun standing behind the long-faced man, the siblings assumed they were friends. Since birds of a feather flock together, and Yi Yun was a nice person, willing to help the weak, then the long-faced man was likely not bad himself. They subconsciously felt a little more trust towards the man.
“Yes, to be honest with this young master, I brought my brother out because of his good talent. I wish for him to enter a large sect to learn their crafts.”
“Oh?” The long-faced man’s smile was that of approbation. He said, “Not bad. To have a martial heart despite coming from poor origins. This sort of intent is rare and deserving of praise. It seems that this little brother has pretty good talent. Let us do this. I will introduce you to enter the Li Fire Sect to become a Li Fire Sect disciple. However, I need to make it clear first that although you have good talent, your origins have limited your growth. You have already been surpassed greatly by warriors your age. Although I can admit you into the Li Fire Sect, you will not be able to become an official disciple. You can only start from being a Miscellaneous Chores disciple. You might even become the servant of an official disciple. However, if you can prove your worth in the future, there is a possibility you can become an official disciple.”
The moment he said those words, the siblings were momentarily at a loss. Enter the Li Fire Sect?
That was a top sect in the Tian Yuan world.
In a sect, there were many cultivation techniques, numerous resources and deep foundations. It could not be any better if one entered one.
They had never even dared to think of entering such a large sect before now.
Although it would only be a Miscellaneous Chores disciple, it did not matter. There was still the possibility of becoming an official disciple.
