The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 461 - 269: Rejection

Bai Qing only looked at her without speaking. She waited for a while, and seeing that he showed no intention of objection, she then stroked Qi Zai’s crown feathers preparing to take her leave.

At that mont, Bai Qing suddenly said, "Ning Xiaoxian, are you willing to join the Chaoyun Sect under ?"

His voice was not loud, but his words struck her like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky, buzzing in her ears. Even Nangong Zhen, who was sitting beside him, was taken aback.

She looked at Bai Qing, seeing his serious expression, entirely unlike soone joking—he did not seem like a man with a sense of humor. "Sect Leader Bai, I am soone without a Spirit Root." She could not learn the Divine Skills of the Human Clan.

As soon as she spoke, Nangong Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed. If this young lady lacked a Spirit Root, she would be incapable of cultivation, but he and Bai Qing both knew she possessed Divine Skills. It seed she must have found so accommodating thod.

"I know," Bai Qing said indifferently, "I am only asking if you are willing to join the Chaoyun Sect under ?"

As he said this, Nangong Zhen, sitting behind him, nodded at Ning Xiaoxian, signaling her to agree. Even if Ning Xiaoxian could not learn the Divine Skills of the Chaoyun Sect, having the na of a Chaoyun Sect disciple could make her journeys much safer and more convenient.

The formidable reputation of the Human Clan’s Great Sect, Chaoyun Sect, was sotis a golden signboard. Bai Qing was offering her protection.

The God Demon Prison was also silent, Qiongqi closed its mouth tightly, Changtian closed its eyes, both waiting for her response just like the two people outside. As long as she beca a na-disciple of the Chaoyun Sect, her path ahead would surely beco much easier.

Under everyone’s gaze, she suddenly raised her head and stated word by word, "This junior is unwilling!"

She said she was unwilling! She actually refused to beco a disciple of the Chaoyun Sect.

Nangong Zhen raised an eyebrow, while Bai Qing’s face twitched, barely suppressing the killing aura that nearly escaped his eyes.

Proud as he was, for the first ti in his life he personally invited a female with low cultivation to join the sect, only to be rejected. She answered with an even prouder stance: she was unwilling!

Fortunately, Ning Xiaoxian then sincerely added, "Thank you for the kind offer, Sect Leader Bai, but I was born to attract trouble and do not wish to flaunt the Chaoyun Sect’s golden sign in deception outside, bringing disgrace upon your reputation." She paused for a mont and then said, "I will make sure Senior Brother Quan is aware of your earnest favor towards him." She could tell from Bai Qing’s appearance that he bore no good feelings toward her; his interest in having her join the Chaoyun Sect was rely out of consideration for Quan Shifang. Unexpectedly, this peculiar Sect Leader, while seeming detached and indifferent, was indeed very caring towards his disciples.

Still, did this an that he was no longer opposed to Quan Shifang pursuing Ning Xiaoxian?

Watching Nangong Zhen struggle to withhold laughter, and Bai Qing struggling to contain his anger, she had no ti to ponder this issue. With Bai Qing’s temperant and cultivation, he was close to losing control. His face alternating between shades of green and white, he barely restrained the impulse to split her with his sword, and it took a good while before he could squeeze out two words through his teeth: "Leave now!"

She respectfully bowed, then supporting Qi Zai’s long neck, walked to a distant part of the beach before taking flight.

The sumr breeze was cool, lifting the hem of her robes. Changtian remained unexpectedly quiet, not making a sound, and she too maintained her silence. Only Qiongqi proudly said, "Mistress, I knew you would definitely not join that trashy Chaoyun Sect! Hmm, why didn’t you join? That sect has quite the reputation."

She ignored the noisy old tiger. Joining the Chaoyun Sect would indeed provide her with a strong backing, but then she’d be entangled with Quan Shifang. Not to ntion that Changtian would not agree, she herself felt it was improper; Senior Brother Quan was such a good person, and since she could not join hands with him, she did not wish to exploit him. Though she wasn’t a great man, she still knew what she should and should not do.

Furthermore, standing behind her was a great monster that had lived for tens of thousands of years. She did not believe that without the protection of the Chaoyun Sect, she couldn’t make her own way brilliantly.

After Ning Xiaoxian’s departure, Nangong Zhen watched her retreating figure and chuckled, "I haven’t descended the mountain for many years. I did not expect that the younger generation has beco so interesting."

Bai Qing stared blankly towards the horizon, and when he regained his gaze, the anger on his face had subsided, once again becoming impassive. He took a swig of liquor and said, "She has no Spirit Root, and originally could not cultivate, yet she beca an emotional obstacle in my disciple’s heart; I sent Huo’er to kill her, but to no avail; upon the first eting today, she has already acquired Divine Skills, even surpassing my sect’s female disciples of the sa age." Uncharacteristically, he sighed, "Finally, when I changed my mind and wanted her to join my sect, she rejected ."
