Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2300 - 2303: The Sword Clan’s Invitation
A string of self-righteous, condescending admonishments made Ling Xiao’s good impression of this Jian Liufeng plummet instantly.
He absolutely detested these self-important folks who always liked to put themselves in the position of an elder or teacher.
"Heh, my path in martial arts does not require pointers from an outsider!"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You did save me, but that doesn’t mean you can scold me at will!"
Jian Liufeng sneered, "If it weren’t for you having some skills, I wouldn’t even bother speaking a single word to you.
Are you really considering yourself a hero? In the eyes of our Eight Great Families, you’re just a schemer at best.
Humph, I came here today specifically for Ling Jiaojiao."
As he spoke, Jian Liufeng directly looked at Ling Jiaojiao and said, "Ling Jiaojiao, congratulations, you have been specially selected by our Sword Clan."
As he spoke, Jian Liufeng maintained his arrogant demeanor.
It seemed as if anything said by the Sword Clan must be accepted by others without question, let alone refusal.
"Sorry, I’m not interested."
Ling Jiaojiao shook her head and said directly.
What?
Upon hearing this, Jian Liufeng thought he had heard wrong.
Could someone actually refuse the solicitation of one of the Eight Great Families of Mount Eight Immortals?
Could someone actually dare to do this!
"Are you sure?"
Jian Liufeng exuded a chilling killing intent: "With your Sword Emperor Martial Soul, joining our Sword Clan would be highly beneficial for your development.
We care to recruit you, so don’t disregard the offer and choose the hard way!
Do you think your brother Ling Xiao is so impressive?
If you join the Sword Clan, in less than a year, you could surpass him with ease.
There are far too many more outstanding than him in the Sword Clan."
"Jiaojiao, agree with him."
Ling Xiao suddenly spoke.
Honestly, although Jian Liufeng was arrogant and rude, this was a common problem among those from great families.
It’s really not a huge issue.
He had no deep-seated hatred against the Sword Clan. If Ling Jiaojiao could join them, it would definitely be fortunate.
How could he let Ling Jiaojiao refuse such a great opportunity for his sake?
"But Ling Xiao, I don’t like his attitude toward you."
Ling Jiaojiao shook her head and said.
"That’s a trivial matter, what really matters is gaining the skills. Didn’t you say you want to turn around and protect me in the future?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said.
"But!"
"No buts. If you ruin a great future because of me, it would really weigh heavily on my spirit."
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Listen, don’t forget, you are the clan leader of the Ling Family, if you are not strong enough, how can you protect so many in the Ling Family in the future?"
He strongly recommended Ling Jiaojiao to join the Sword Clan, and this was for a profound reason.
Know this, he struggled to become a disciple of the Lower Eight Immortals Mountain, not even considered an Upper Eight Immortals Mountain disciple.
And as long as Ling Jiaojiao joined the Sword Clan, she’d have a direct ticket to the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain.
The assessment would only be a formality; as long as her cultivation level was reached, she’d be promoted smoothly.
Moreover, once joining the Sword Clan, whether resources or martial arts, she would receive the best among her peers.
Unlike those disciples of the Lower Eight Immortals Mountain who have to endure humiliation for a few pieces of Elemental Jade.
"Can my brother Ling Xiao join the Sword Clan with me?"
Ling Jiaojiao looked at Jian Liufeng and asked.
Though the other party brought great pressure on her, she still insisted on asking this, neither humble nor arrogant.
"No."
Jian Liufeng shook his head and said, "Ling Xiao is unruly, loves to steal the spotlight, our Sword Clan can never accept someone like him.
But rest assured, as long as you join the Sword Clan and become one of our disciples, your brother Ling Xiao will also benefit as long as he’s within the Eight Immortals County.
Our Sword Clan will be able to help him."
"Fine, I agree to join the Sword Clan, but if there’s anything I’m dissatisfied with, I will immediately leave."
Ling Jiaojiao clearly and seriously stated.
"Naturally."
Jian Liufeng’s face did not look good, and he was inwardly furious.
Did this Ling Jiaojiao regard their Sword Clan as a family that cannot recruit disciples?
As beggars begging for food?
If it weren’t for the secret order from his family to bring Ling Jiaojiao back no matter what.
He really wanted to teach this ignorant girl a lesson.
"Jian Liufeng, you don’t have to feel so aggrieved!
The Sword Emperor Martial Soul is a special martial soul, my Sister Jiaojiao joining your Sword Clan is your fortune.
You can deny it now, but you will realize years later that this grievance doesn’t count for much."
Ling Xiao looked at Jian Liufeng and spoke calmly.
Though Jian Liufeng was displeased by Ling Xiao’s words.
He had to admit that recruiting Ling Jiaojiao into the Sword Clan was indeed a rare opportunity.
"Future matters are unpredictable, but I can assure you right now, Ling Jiaojiao joining the Sword Clan will not lead to regret."
Jian Liufeng said in a cold voice.
"Heh, indeed."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Let’s do this, I’ll take Sister Jiaojiao back to Yuhua Town to handle some family affairs, then bring her back to the Eight Immortals Mountain, how about that?"
"As you wish, but you must be careful, the remnants of the Demon Shadow Sect are still lurking around, and they currently view you as a thorn in their side, you never know if someone might seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."
Jian Liufeng gave Ling Xiao a mild glance and said, "Farewell then, Ling Jiaojiao, I’ll be waiting for you at the Sword Clan!"
With these words, he turned and left just as casually as he came.
"Ling Xiao, than Jian Liufeng is just how he is, don’t mind him, even though the Sword Clan didn’t see your potential, I believe some of the Eight Great Families do, with your strength, you will definitely pass the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment this time."
After Jian Liufeng left, Lin Ruoxian said with a smile.
She had witnessed Ling Xiao’s final battle with the Demon Envoy, and she was very aware of Ling Xiao’s strength.
Though probably not as talented as Sha Mo Yun and Chi Ling’er, he was certainly more powerful than most others.
Unless the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain only accepted two people, Ling Xiao was bound to succeed.
"I will work hard."
Ling Xiao nodded.
Lin Ruoxian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t.
Because she knew if she told Ling Xiao about the unfairness of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain assessment to ordinary disciples, it would shatter his confidence.
So it was better left unsaid.
"Farewell, you should go back and visit your family first."
Lin Ruoxian cupped her hands slightly and left.
Ling Xiao and Ling Jiaojiao also left the underground city, heading back to Yuhua Town.
At this time, Yuhua Town was already bustling and festively decorated.
Ling Yuhua, Old Black, and others waited outside, having learned some things from the Blood Pigs who had submitted to the Ling Family.
They knew Ling Xiao and Ling Jiaojiao had not perished and had eradicated the Demon Shadow Sect’s leaders in the Eight Immortals County.
"Xiao’er, I was unjust to you before, and now I regret it deeply, how I wish time could turn back.
Let me make up for my past mistakes.
Even so, I still must say, having you in the Ling Family is our greatest fortune.
And also our greatest pride."
Ling Yuhua excitedly looked at Ling Xiao, tears falling uncontrollably.
"I’m not that significant. Compared to me, Sister Jiaojiao is truly impressive, she has now been invited by the Sword Clan, once she reports in, she’ll officially become a disciple of one of the Eight Great Families of the Upper Eight Immortals Mountain’s Sword Clan."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and said, "In the future, the Ling Family will probably take pride in her."
