Ye Cheng chuckled, knowing the words concealed sharpness and pointed out the recent evil deed, hinting at who was causing trouble. Yan Hao glanced over indifferently. He had just felt mutual disdain with Hao Qingshe, almost coming to blows; hearing Li Xian’s words, he naturally felt no goodwill towards ng Han as well.
Shi Yufei stared intently. Whenever Hao Qingshe appeared, she was always brutal and unreasonable, causing trouble and chaos. Therefore, they never let her participate in any Water Altar matters. ng Han’s "luring the snake out of its hole" must harbor malice. Disrupting the order of the grand event was an entirely foreseeable outco. His actions suggested his narrow-mindedness, focusing solely on personal grudges. The Flower Cage Sect was not a righteous sect, so this was understandable. Although Shi Yufei felt displeased, she did not criticize.
ng Han glared at Li Xian, awkwardly laughing as he explained a couple of sentences. Li Xian thought, "My grievances must be settled by myself. All my current sches are futile, and I must quickly improve my strength!"
Anger and killing intent... all suppressed. Li Xian won first place; the awarding ceremony should be led by the elder. But after the matter with Hao Qingshe, Shi Yufei led it personally.
They arrived at the rit Pavilion.
Shi Yufei asked, "Are you new to our sect?" Li Xian answered truthfully, "Indeed." Shi Yufei said, "Your appearance is unusual, why did you enroll in Flower Cage?"
Li Xian knew he should speak truthfully at this point, and said, "It was indeed an accident, a chance encounter. I was being pursued, and happened to board Elder Ye’s flower boat. I used his boat to avoid my enemies."
"Moreover, I originally had no sect or affiliation. Elder Ye did not mind my origins, so I joined the Flower Cage Sect as the opportunity arose."
Shi Yufei laughed and said, "You’ve co to the right place!" They arrived at the accountant’s office. More than ten people were calculating on abacuses, computing each and every "rit."
He took out "three taels of rit," handed it to Li Xian, and then said, "I see your martial arts moves are quite skillful, yet scattered and disordered. Although you intend to organize them, the martial arts scriptures you obtained are limited. I assu your access to martial arts is limited, making it rare to select suitable martial arts."
Li Xian had displayed the "Four Directions Fist," "Clear Wind Leg," "Vast Leg," "Thunderbolt Finger," "Vomiting Blood Scripture"... fists, legs, and finger techniques mixed, thus scattered and disorganized indeed.
Without familial martial arts, naturally he was not born into a prominent family.
Shi Yufei said, "If you went to any Li Mountain Sword Sect, Yue Mountain Sword Sect, Bare Copper Gate... haha, you would surely face rejection. This has nothing to do with talent."
Li Xian said, "Please instruct , General Envoy."
Shi Yufei said, "Seeking sects for martial arts is very profound. Joining a sect... represents a stable environnt to obtain resources and can accumulate reputation, with boundless prospects."
"Sects have complex roots, complex benefits, intertwined with the interests of local prominent families. Even if your talent is extrely good, does that an no one will envy you? The world is vast; where does it not conceal corruption?"
"Without family protection, how can one easily enter a sect?"
Li Xian couldn’t help but ask, "Then for those of ordinary birth, is there truly no hope for advancent?" Shi Yufei said, "Naturally that’s not the case. Those of ordinary birth, if they desire to rise, must take detours."
"Detours?" Li Xian was quite intrigued.
Shi Yufei said, "When sects recruit disciples, you cannot directly respond. Instead, first investigate the family’s strength surrounding the sect, and try to beco a family guest first. Lurk for three years; if you obtain a recomndation letter, then proceed to selection, and perhaps join the sect. If not in a year, then two or three years, as long as you succeed, to secure a relatively stable resource path."
"If you fail to obtain a recomndation letter, you should carefully observe. Seek opportunities to connect with sect figures, actively participate in Jianghu battles, catch criminals, showcase talent, make friends, attend grand events, whether in musical instrunts, chess, calligraphy, painting, or songs, flutes, dance, music..., gradually creating a reputation. If you accomplish these two points, you can also join a sect."
"This is the detour! All roads visible to you are direct paths. Those born ordinary, walking directly will inevitably hit obstacles; detours are necessary, gradually exploring."
Shi Yufei reminisced, "I ca from an ordinary farming family; to reach today, I took many detours."
"Similarly... if you want to survive, you also need to take detours."
Li Xian said, "Grand Envoy ans, rely relying on the bet, that Elder Hao Qingshe is insufficient to spare my life?"
Shi Yufei said, "Naturally." Li Xian said, "Then the bet..."
Shi Yufei said, "The bet still needs to be fulfilled, yet more cautiously. anwhile, you must prepare ’detours’."
Li Xian said, "Please speak directly, Grand Envoy."
Shi Yufei laughed, "Have you heard of the ’Candle Sect.’
