Long Chen was stunned. What, fighting all the way in, and then fighting all the way out? The inner sect welcomes you here, isn't it a bit special?
Seeing Long Chen's displeased expression, Luo Bing quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "They're not here to fight, they're here to post a name card." Sure
enough, as soon as Luo Bing finished speaking, someone rushed up to Long Chen and said very politely, "
Junior brother, welcome to the inner sect. First of all, congratulations on becoming one of the elite disciples of the inner sect."
I know everyone is quite busy, so let me cut it short: our Fenghu Sect is a prominent force within the inner sect. Although it has only been established for half a year, the sect leader's ranking has steadily improved, and the sect leader is generous, the family power is strong, and the funds have been abundant .... That
person spoke at length, and after a long while, Long Chen figured it out—this person was here to recruit people.
"Junior, come to Qingfeng Valley. Our Valley Master is a beauty. With your talent and aptitude, honestly, I think you have a great chance of winning the hearts of a beauty."
"Long Chen, come to our Tianlong Sect. Let's not talk about anything else, just because your surname is Long, if you don't join us, you're letting down the fate between us, aren't you?"
Long Chen's head suddenly went blank. All these people were here to recruit people. Not only was Long Chen surrounded by a crowd, but Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, and the others were also surrounded.
"Sorry, we're members of the Luo family. We won't join any other guilds." Luo Bing hurriedly said. As soon as she said this, those people immediately abandoned them and all rushed toward the Xiaoyao Alliance.
"Come on, you don't need to rush to reply yet. Let's shop around. First, take our name cards—they'll have our introduction. When we get back, think it over carefully." Someone was so confident that they didn't even introduce it, directly handing Long Chen a beautiful masterpiece card.
Long Chen took it and opened it. It was densely filled with an introduction to the guild, including its glorious achievements, benefits, direct benefits after joining, and future prospects.
Only then did Long Chen realize that competition in the inner sect was much fiercer than in the outer sect, and they had already started fighting for resources so early.
Moreover, there were actually hundreds of people coming to recruit people, each representing a guild. This startled Long Chen—how could there be so many guilds in the inner courtyard?
Long Chen put away all these people's name cards. He didn't have time to look at them yet, so he'd look back when he got back.
"Third Brother, once you enter the inner courtyard, do you plan to set up a guild?" Mu Qingyun asked.
Long Chen shook his head and said, "I'm not really interested in that. Actually, if it weren't for Chu Kuang this time, I wouldn't have participated in this Divine Academy Championship."
Actually, even if I don't participate in the competition, I can still enter the inner court through the Alchemy Institute, passing a level of assessments one by one.
After entering the inner courtyard, I had many things to do, and I didn't want these trivial matters to delay my cultivation. After
entering the inner courtyard, the resources available to him increased and increased. Long Chen needed to focus on improving his strength; he didn't want to waste time chatting with these kids.
After hearing Long Chen's words, Mu Qingyun felt a bit disappointed. Although she had mentally prepared herself, she still felt a bit disappointed.
If Long Chen wanted to establish a guild, she would bring everyone to join. But with that explanation, it was as if he had no interest in competing with such guilds.
Mu Qingyun was somewhat unwilling. She wanted to keep the Xiaoyao Alliance, but relying solely on herself, she felt that among so many inner sect prodigies, she feared she wouldn't last long. But if the Xiaoyao Alliance just disbanded like this, her heart would ache.
Long Chen looked at Mu Qingyun and smiled, "Everyone has their own mission and their own burden. Your burden may be carried for a while, but not for a lifetime."
If you can't bear to let go, then try hard to carry it forward. No matter the outcome, at least you have tried, so there will be no regrets. As long as you give it your all, who cares whether it succeeds or not? "
Third Brother, I understand."
After hearing Long Chen's words, Mu Qingyun smiled. Indeed, before meeting Long Chen, wasn't the Xiaoyao Alliance just fine? How can cultivation rely on others?
Long Chen didn't want to interfere in someone else's cultivation path. In his view, he was just a passerby in someone else's life, and the help he received now might not be a good thing for them in the future.
Besides, Long Chen hated these boring disputes. His time was precious; he needed to cultivate hard, find his confidante early, and find his own parents. He didn't have time to mess with them.
Just then, a group of inner disciples dressed in white robes suddenly walked in, embroidered with a golden character "Luo" on their chests.
"The Luo Alliance people are here." Someone whispered, recognizing those people.
A total of more than a dozen people entered, but each exuded a powerful aura. Although only at the Divine Fire Realm, in terms of aura, they were no weaker than those guards at the Four Extremes Realm. Clearly, they were all experts.
Leading them was a tall, slender man with a jade-like face and delicate features, exuding the aura of a master with every gesture.
"Senior Brother Qingyang, we finally meet." Seeing the man, Luo Bing and Luo Ning hurried over, their faces full of excitement.
That person was none other than Luo Qingyang, the prodigy of the Luo family and leader of the Inner Sect Luo Alliance. By seniority and age, Luo Bing should have called him 'big brother,' while at the academy, he was usually called 'senior.'
But in the Luo family, when Luo Bing was young, he was the same person as Luo Qingyang's first teacher, so at home he called him senior brother, and here he also called him senior brother, which was already a habit.
"I've heard about it. Your entry this time is all due to luck." Luo Qingyang nodded.
"Isn't that right? If Gu Fei and the others hadn't been fooled by Chu Kuang, our chances of winning would have been slim. Luo Ning also felt a lingering fear as she spoke.
Gu Fei was formidable, but she and Luo Bing were not afraid at all. Besides Gu Fei, the opponents also had several powerful figures like Yuan Xinghui who had hidden their true strength.
Even if the two of them could temporarily remain undefeated, the other disciples would inevitably suffer massive casualties. Once the other disciples withdrew, no matter how strong they were, they wouldn't be able to withstand the assault of so many powerful opponents, and the probability of defeat in the end was extremely high.
So Luo Qingyang was right. The reason they were able to enter the inner sect this time was purely lucky—like getting a huge bargain for free.
"Long Chen, let me introduce you. This is Senior Brother Luo Qingyang, also a genius of our Luo family and the leader of the Luo Alliance. From now on, in the inner sect, everyone should look out for each other." Long Chen was still collecting his name card when Luo Bing pulled Long Chen over to introduce Luo Qingyang.
Only then did Long Chen notice Luo Qingyang and the others. But when he saw Luo Qingyang's expression, he was stunned. Long Chen saw Luo Bing tugging at his sleeve and immediately understood.
Long Chen smiled slightly, cupped his fists, and seized the opportunity to break free from Luo Bing's tug: "I am Long Chen. Pleasure to meet you." Luo
Qingyang's expression was a bit awkward, but she still forced a smile and cupped her fists toward Long Chen, saying, "
Nice to meet you."
Luo Bing was taken aback. She had expected Luo Qingyang to greet Long Chen warmly, since he was their great benefactor, and he had given them pills. Luo Qingyang also knew about helping them awaken their spirits.
Even without considering repaying a favor, someone as terrifying as Long Chen with unlimited potential was something Luo Meng absolutely couldn't miss. Luo Qingyang didn't even offer an invitation, just greeted him and it was over.Luo Bing was stunned for a moment.
Luo Ning glanced at Luo Qingyang, then at Long Chen, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, but she said nothing, making the situation a bit awkward for a moment.
"The registration is over, and we need to go back to arrange some things, so we won't keep you any longer." After Long Chen finished speaking, he greeted them and left with his people.
Luo Bing looked helpless. She had happily recommended the two of them, but the result was something she hadn't expected.
Just as Long Chen reached the main gate and bumped into a group of people, the group that appeared had a large character "Chu" tattooed on their chests. When they saw them, the Luo family members immediately clenched their fists.
