Attacked by the Female Demon at the Beginning - Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Take Me as Your Disciple?

Jiang Hao sat at the table and listened to the story, which was somewhat unexpected.

The situation seemed complex, but when summarized, it was quite simple: a servant with exceptional talent who did not want to leave her master.

“By the way, we’ve already settled the others, and they can be sent back to their parents. If they wish, the Chen family is also willing to take them in. After all, they are all talented individuals. It’s not easy to find seven talented people at once under normal circumstances,” Fang Jin added about the others.

Jiang Hao nodded and looked at Chu Chuan in the corner, puzzled.

“This young man also has talent, can’t you take him back with you? With his talent, can’t he even enter the outer sect?”

“Indeed, he can’t.”

Fang Jin sighed, “I’ve just checked. This young master Chu Chuan’s talent is somewhat average, barely reaching three meridians. It’s not that we can’t take him back, but that his talent is worlds apart from Junior Sister Chu Jie. Moreover, he would be at the very bottom of the entire Mingyue Sect. For him, that might be an even greater blow. Not only would he be doing menial work, but he would also only have access to ordinary techniques.It would be better for me to teach him a better technique now, so he can cultivate elsewhere.”

“Although I’m not very famous, my word still carries some weight in smaller sects. This way, he can cultivate better and receive better treatment. Unfortunately, my Junior Sister refuses. Actually, even placing him in the outer sect wouldn’t be good. Daoist Jiang, you should understand that competition exists in the cultivation of any sect.”

Jiang Hao understood.

Where there is competition, there is inevitably a hierarchy, and bullying, both overt and covert, can occur.

Those with lesser talent are often treated this way.

It’s even worse in the Demon Sect.

That’s why from the beginning, he had to show good talent and accumulate cultivation before showing even better performance. But not too good.

That way, he wouldn’t be targeted.

The lower ranks couldn’t bully him, and the higher-ups had no reason to suppress him.

Looking at the two children on the edge, Jiang Hao couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Two people who depended on each other for life were about to embark on two completely different paths.

At that moment, Fairy Lan Jin was still trying to persuade the two.

Chu Jie was not willing to give an inch.

However, Chu Chuan seemed to understand the situation.

“Go with them,” he earnestly said to the girl beside him.

“Once I make a name for myself here, I’ll come to your sect to find you. By then, I’ll definitely be able to protect you.”

To Bai Qiong and the others, these were just words of comfort.

Because in the future, Chu Jie would far surpass this young man, to say they were as different as immortals and mortals wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Even Jiang Hao would think so.

The gap in talent was too great, so vast that effort alone couldn’t bridge it.

Unless this young man encountered some extraordinary fortune, he could only look up to his own maid.

Moreover, once the girl went to the Mingyue Sect and saw the wider world, this small-town boy would seem insignificant in her eyes.

She might not look down on him, but the gap between them could not be erased.

Yet, this young man always seemed out of place to Jiang Hao.

“Appraisal.”

Out of curiosity, he activated his divine ability.

【Chu Chuan: A down-and-out young master with an obscured immortal heart but an unyielding spirit, a frail body but an unbeaten belief. Crush him, torment him, trample him, he grows stronger with each setback, more formidable with each battle, and when the wind rises, he soars through the heavens like a dragon.】

Seeing the results of the identification, Jiang Hao was somewhat surprised.

Another one of these types.

Somewhat similar to Senior Sister Zhou Chan.

If such a person truly joined the Mingyue Sect, there was a high probability he would rise to prominence.

Especially if he joined as a menial worker, he would certainly face oppression.

Not to mention he has a connection with a remarkable disciple.

A natural existence to be tormented and suppressed.

“Perhaps you could consider taking him back with you,” Jiang Hao suggested to Fang Jin.

“If there’s no other way, we’ll have to do that, but our uncle master has also dealt with the affairs of the Tiansheng Sect and will arrive in a day or two. The specifics will have to be decided by him,” Fang Jin replied with a slight shake of his head.

Jiang Hao didn’t say much more, not taking him back might be a loss for the Mingyue Sect.

“No, without me, who will take care of the young master’s daily needs?” Chu Jie immediately shook her head in refusal.

“Then, when you return with your accomplishments, won’t you be able to take better care of me?” Chu Chuan continued to persuade.

“Right, in a few years our sect will have a discourse, and by then your young master can come and see how much you’ve grown,” Fairy Lan Jin coaxed like she was talking to a child.

“When you become powerful, you can protect your young master.”

These words seemed to move Chu Jie.

Jiang Hao smiled and then said goodbye to Fang Jin.

He didn’t want to get involved for the time being and decided to stroll around the town instead.

This time Jiang Hao had no particular goal, just wandering aimlessly.

Looking to see if any bubbles might drop somewhere.

On the way, he pondered Chu Chuan’s situation, with his obscured immortal heart, like a rabbit with a hidden bloodline.

It was a pity that helping the rabbit unlock its bloodline would yield bubbles, but polishing someone’s immortal heart wouldn’t.

Otherwise, he would definitely be interested in taking him back.

People couldn’t drop bubbles, Jiang Hao had understood this long ago.

Whether it was killing or anything else, they wouldn’t drop anything.

After wandering around and buying some food, he returned to the inn to continue contemplating the nameless secret manual.

The more he pondered, the more he felt he could better control the power of his body.

Although his spiritual energy wasn’t abundant, his strength should be steadily increasing.

The next morning, Jiang Hao was suddenly awakened.

He felt a powerful aura coming from a distance, eventually settling in front of the inn.

“So strong, Zuo Lan seems like a grain of rice in front of him, this must be beyond the Nascent Soul stage. I wonder what realm it is.”

The first thing Jiang Hao thought of was Fang Jin’s uncle master.

It was best to see as little as possible of such a strong person.

He decided not to go out today and focus on cultivating instead.

……

The next day.

Today was the third day of Hong Yuye’s seclusion.

It should also be the last day.

On this day, someone knocked on Jiang Hao’s door.

“Is Daoist Jiang there?”

It was Fang Jin’s voice.

Awakening from his contemplation of the third style of the Heavenly Saber, Jiang Hao was puzzled as to why Fang Jin would come knocking.

Was he coming to say goodbye?

It was very likely.

After opening the door, he saw Fang Jin with an awkward smile saying:

“Do you have a moment, Daoist Jiang? Could you come downstairs for a gathering? Actually, my uncle master wishes to meet you. Oh, don’t misunderstand, he just has a favor to ask.”

A favor to ask? Jiang Hao was surprised.

But he still nodded in agreement, the strength of the other’s uncle master made it difficult for him to refuse.

If it really came to a fight, even if Hong Yuye could handle it, he would suffer.

It was naturally convenient to be accommodating.

After going downstairs, Jiang Hao saw three new people in the hall.

A middle-aged man and two young men.

Those two aren’t worth paying attention to; they are both at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

The person who truly demands attention is the middle-aged man sitting in the seat of honor.

His expression is calm, his powerful aura is evident, and his presence is as vast and profound as the ocean.

“Junior Jiang Haotian pays respects to the senior,” Jiang Hao said respectfully with a bow.

This person is indeed powerful. He is not someone I can contend with.

“Sit,” Han Xiao gestured towards the chair, speaking calmly.

“I am Han Xiao. I would like to ask you a small question, young friend.”

“Please ask, senior,” Jiang Hao said modestly, sitting opposite the man.

Han Xiao looked at Jiang Hao with a smile and said, “I’ve heard that you possess considerable strength. I wonder if you have considered taking on disciples?”
