Chapter 47.
Chapter 47 Rejection
Three years is not too long to say, and not too short to say.
Wei Dawu grew much taller, faded once childish, more and more calm, only vaguely familiar between the eyebrows.
Meeting Xu Chuniang’s line of sight, Wei Dawu smiled faintly.
He also did not expect that after three years of not seeing each other, the two would meet in this way.
He walked directly towards Xu Chuniang, his attitude sincere, ”Accompany me to the inner sect? The escort is important to me, and the spiritual plant specialty is not useless, not to mention …… that you and I are from the same hometown, and are closer than the next person.”
Xu Chuniang paused, the inner gate she was bound to go, but she didn’t want to go in this way.
She thought about refusing the solicitation, but she didn’t expect that the person who solicited her would be Wei Dawu.
Seeing that she didn’t agree the first time, the smile on Wei Dawu’s face slightly converged, taking on a persuasive tone.
“The Immortal Sect is not like the mundane world, without cultivation resources, it’s just a waste of time. With the connection between the two of us, as long as you do your best for me, after I build my foundation, naturally I won’t forget your help.
There is a world of difference between the inner sect and the outer sect, you wouldn’t want to stop at practicing qi for the rest of your life.”
Xu Chuniang naturally didn’t want to stop at practicing qi, but she had her own path to follow, rather than becoming someone else’s vassal and exchanging her allegiance for the chance to build her foundation!
She didn’t know what it meant to be true to her heart, but she wasn’t willing to force herself and do things she didn’t like.
Xu Chuniang raised her head and looked straight at this neighboring village elder brother who had joined the Immortal Sect with her and had taken care of her on the flying boat.
“I want to enter the inner sect on my own. Wasn’t it you who said that regardless of whether it’s the Inner Sect or the Outer Sect, our goal is to cultivate.”
Wei Dawu’s face was in a trance for a split second, had he said such a thing?
Perhaps he was too ignorant at that time to say such words.
Not to mention the vast difference in resources between the inner sect and the outer sect, even between the nine peaks of the inner sect, each peak was different from the other.
In addition to the most powerful main peak, Easy Peak, Dan Peak, Weapon Peak, and Royal Beast Peak each have their own strengths, and are considered to be some of the better peaks.
The Rune Peak, Thousand Machine Peak and Xuan Sword Peak, the overall strength is much inferior, and the disciples who join these three peaks are relatively fewer.
Hundred Flowers Peak is more special, although there are fewer people, but it makes good use of voodoo, and its reputation in the inner door should not be underestimated.
On the other hand, Nameless Peak exists in name only, in recent years, almost no new disciples have joined Nameless Peak.
He returned to his senses and spoke faintly, ”I take back this sentence now. After stepping onto the path of Immortal Cultivation, I realized how ignorant I was in the past.
You are now like the person I was once, nothing more than a frog trapped at the bottom of a well, with no chance to see the vastness of the outside world.
When you realize how small you are, you will use every means possible to make yourself strong.”
Xu Chuniang only felt her heart go cold, her expression fading, the elation of reuniting with her late friend cooling completely.
It was precisely because she knew how small she was that she kept trying to move forward moment by moment.
She thought that Wei Dawu, who had been chosen to join the sect from a small place with her, would understand her persistence.
But she didn’t expect that he would so easily, lose that original heart of cultivation.
Xu Chuniang’s feelings were complicated, there was disappointment in Wei Dawu, and there was also the firmness of wanting to prove herself, but she understood that the paths were different, and the two of them were no longer on the same path.
She didn’t want to explain anymore and said bluntly, “Brother Da Wu, I’m sorry to tell you that I refuse to become your squire.”
Wei Dawu’s bitter persuasion for half a day, but waited for such a sentence, he was a bit dissatisfied. Obviously, everything he did was for the sake of her immortal path.
But she is not the least bit appreciative, this stupid nature, how can she go far on the road of cultivation?
If the person standing here today was someone else, I’m afraid that person would have already rejoiced and accepted this kind of good thing, and there was no need for him to take such pains to speak.
Xu Chuniang, in the end, let him wrong.
His face was a little cold, “Do you really want to be good?”
“Think well.”
In the end, Wei Dawu chose another female disciple who had performed well.
He valued this recruitment of escorts, and although Xu Chuniang’s performance had disappointed him greatly, Wei Dawu was sensible and naturally wouldn’t waste the escorts’ slots indiscriminately.
These disciples standing on the stage were the most promising batch of all the new entry disciples, and were also his future help in gaining a foothold in the Inner Sect, so they could not afford to lose.
When the others saw this scene, they talked about it, with smiles on their faces as they watched the show.
Without going to listen to Xu Chuniang, she knew that they were all laughing at her own lack of understanding and her refusal of the inner sect disciple’s solicitation.
After all, amongst the hundred or so inner disciples, Wei Dawu was ranked thirty-seven, not just anyone could fall into his eyes.
But there are more people who choose to become escorts, is this the right path?
The outer door is difficult to cultivate, every year there are always some “unenlightened” disciples, refused to be recruited, refused to take this so-called shortcut, to go to the outer door to try a big competition!
She was like that, and so was Su Chen. There were also some older sisters and brothers who had made similar decisions.
These people of theirs, they had chosen a more difficult path, but as long as they cut through the thorns, and forge ahead, they would be able to walk more steadily and farther on this path of seeking the Dao.
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and admonished herself mentally, “Even a frog at the bottom of a well has the right to jump out of it! They all think I’m impossible, I’m going to show them that just because other people can’t walk the path, doesn’t mean I can’t!”
At this moment, Xu Chuniang only felt that her heart to cultivate had never been firmer.
Once upon a time, she had cultivated for some reason, but it was just her luck that she had been chosen by the Easy Sect.
After joining the sect, she thought that she wanted to cultivate well and not be kicked out by the sect, and it would be even better if she could enter the inner sect.
If one were to ask Xu Chuniang why she wanted to cultivate well and enter the inner sect, she couldn’t even answer.
But now, she had clarified her goal of cultivation: to jump out of the bottom of the well and see a wider world.
And to show everyone that she could!
Even if the path was difficult and dangerous, she would only rise to the challenge and soar high; even if she were to die on the path of seeking the Dao, her soul destroyed, she would have no complaints or regrets!
Xu Chuniang’s heart calmed down completely, due to the change in her state of mind, her cultivation gradually showed signs of loosening, a sign before a breakthrough.
However, now was not a good time for a breakthrough, Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and pressed down the restless aura in her body for the time being.
The fifty people on the stage soon left only two, it was Xu Chuniang and Su Chen who had refused the solicitation.
The two of them glanced at each other and smiled at each other, actually having a feeling of sympathy.
Steward Mu glanced at the two of them, revealing a rare hint of a smile, ”Since the two of you have refused the solicitation. Just don’t stand up here, go down.”
“Then our test results?” Xu Chuniang hurriedly asked.
A week of consecutive extra shifts, the stock of manuscripts is depleted extremely fast. I’ll slow down first, today first a single shift haha. I would like to ask everyone, do you want a single shift every day until April 1st on the shelves, or as soon as possible? After the shelves every day double, occasionally add more, and then the day of the shelves will explode more 10,000 words.
