Chapter 460: Refuse to Join!
"Damn it. Damn it all."
In the lake, the pale-faced youth could not stop himself from roaring in anger.
He was a dignified 6th level Mortal Core Realm expert and the number one newly joined Outer Sect Disciple of the Heaven Severing Blade School. Yet he had been defeated by Li Yun in a single move. Even after using his full strength, he had still lost to Li Yun.
To him, this was an enormous humiliation.
"He actually won."
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect all gasped, barely able to believe what they had just witnessed.
They had been certain that Li Yun was about to lose. They had never expected him to reverse the situation at the critical moment and defeat the pale-faced youth at full strength while still only being at the 6th level of the Essence Qi Realm.
He had turned the tide completely.
It was almost like a miracle.
"Good."
Jian Wuchen slapped his thigh hard, his expression filled with excitement as he shouted, "Li Yun, well done."
"Not bad. Very good."
Lan Yue also stood up, and a sharp light flashed through her beautiful eyes.
Her words shocked everyone around her even more.
Everyone knew that Senior Sister Lan Yue’s standards had always been extremely high. For an ordinary person to receive even one word of praise from her was already rare, yet she had now said not bad and very good in succession.
This alone showed how much she appreciated Li Yun.
"Ruan Qingsha, it seems that among this batch of newly joined Outer Sect Disciples, our Heavenly Sword Sect is still superior."
Lan Yue then looked toward Ruan Qingsha, and a faint smile of victory appeared on her face.
"Hmph."
Ruan Qingsha’s expression became extremely ugly.
She had come here aggressively with the pale-faced youth, intending to make Lan Yue lose face in front of everyone. She had never expected Li Yun to suddenly appear halfway through and ruin everything. Not only had she failed to achieve her goal, but she had also ended up losing face herself.
"Let us go."
She gave a cold snort and grabbed the pale-faced youth. Then, her figure quickly vanished from everyone’s sight.
"Hahaha, Ruan Qingsha certainly left quickly."
"Of course she did. That pale-faced youth was defeated so miserably. If she did not leave quickly, was she supposed to stay here and be laughed at?"
"Speaking of which, we really have Li Yun to thank this time. If not for him, Ruan Qingsha would have truly succeeded today."
Seeing Ruan Qingsha leave in such a hurry, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect burst into laughter.
Many of them now looked at Li Yun with completely different gazes.
A 6th level Essence Qi Realm cultivator who could defeat the 6th level Mortal Core Realm pale-faced youth had already proven how astonishing his potential was. If such a prodigy continued to grow, he would definitely become a major figure in the Heavenly Sword Sect. It was not impossible for him to become a True Disciple in the future.
Only Bai Yichen and the red-robed young man had extremely dark expressions.
They had carefully planned to suppress Li Yun, but not only had their plan failed, it had instead allowed Li Yun to rise even higher. His performance was like a loud slap across both of their faces.
"Li Yun, this Azure Origin Immortal Wood and Profound Yin True Water are yours."
At that moment, Lan Yue waved her hand.
A piece of azure wood and a thick drop of water suspended in midair floated toward Li Yun. Both were Rank Seven spiritual materials, and both were treasures that countless Outer Sect Disciples could only dream of obtaining.
At the same time, Lan Yue smiled slightly and said, "Li Yun, I wonder if you are interested in joining the Moon Orchid Society I founded?"
Hearing this, Bai Yichen’s face became even darker.
He had come to the Moon Orchid Tea Gathering specifically to prevent Li Yun from joining the Moon Orchid Society. In the end, all of his calculations had come to nothing.
If Li Yun joined the Moon Orchid Society, he would gain a backer. Dealing with him in the future would become far more troublesome, which was clearly not something Bai Yichen wanted to see.
"There is no need."
Just as Bai Yichen was feeling deeply irritated, Li Yun’s indifferent voice rang out. "I have no plans to join any faction for the time being."
"Hm?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yichen was stunned.
The other disciples also revealed expressions of disbelief.
He refused?
Facing Lan Yue’s personal invitation, Li Yun had actually refused?
"Li Yun, what are you doing?"
Jian Wuchen looked anxious and could not help speaking quickly. "The Moon Orchid Society is a top-tier faction in the Inner Sect, and Senior Sister Lan Yue clearly thinks highly of you. If you join the Moon Orchid Society, you will surely become someone they focus on nurturing. Why would you refuse such good conditions?"
"Hahaha."
Nearby, Bai Yichen finally reacted. He laughed coldly and said with open sarcasm, "Senior Sister Lan Yue, even after you personally invited him, Li Yun still refused so decisively. It seems he truly does not respect you at all."
"Exactly."
The red-robed young man quickly followed up with a sneer. "Li Yun may have some talent, but he is far too ungrateful. Senior Sister Lan Yue, someone this arrogant is not worthy of joining our Moon Orchid Society anyway."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the others changed.
Their gazes toward Li Yun were no longer as warm as before.
Although Li Yun’s talent was indeed extraordinary, the red-robed young man’s words were not completely unreasonable in their eyes. Refusing Senior Sister Lan Yue’s personal invitation so directly was far too arrogant.
A person like this, even if talented, might not be able to go far in the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Never mind. Since you are unwilling, I will not force you."
Lan Yue shook her head. A trace of disappointment flashed through her eyes, but it disappeared almost immediately. She then said calmly, "However, do not worry. The doors of the Moon Orchid Society will always remain open to you. As long as you are willing, the Moon Orchid Society will welcome you at any time."
After saying this, Lan Yue was just about to announce the end of the tea gathering.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
