He Can Really Brag!

Hearing his son mention the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect, Patriarch Li was struck as if by lightning, standing frozen in place like a wooden chicken.

Half a year ago.

Li Qingyang had tested for a High-grade Spirit Root, which had left him ecstatic.

The Li family had been in an uproar, viewing him as the pride of the household, and he could even imagine the family becoming even more glorious under the leadership of this descendant.

After the verification, Patriarch Li provided his son with the best resources and planned his future, deciding that once the Hundred Sects Recruitment began, he would choose a sect with a deep foundation and prestige.

Little did he know that today, while he was bathing and changing, Li Qingyang had snuck away, and he couldn't find him even after turning the mansion upside down.

"That brat."

"Could he have gone to meet that little wench in secret again!"

Unable to find Li Qingyang, Patriarch Li paced back and forth in the main hall in a fit of rage.

Just then, a servant hurried in to report: "Patriarch, the young master went to the recruitment venue ahead of time and was scouted by the fifth-rate Cangshan Sect, who wants to take him as a disciple!"

"What!"

Patriarch Li was overjoyed.

The Cangshan Sect was a top-tier power within Qingyang County, with a status not inferior to the Qingyang City Lord. For his son to be recruited by such a sect was not only an honor to his ancestors but also promised a bright future!

"However..."

The servant paused and said weakly: "The young master rejected the recruitment of the Cangshan Sect Elder."

"What!!"

Patriarch Li almost collapsed to the ground.

The same two words, but with a different tone, clearly showed his mood plummeting from heaven to hell.

"Has that bastard's brain been kicked by a donkey? To actually reject the Cangshan Sect's recruitment!"

"No, this won't do!"

"A matter that concerns his entire life and the future of the Li family cannot be left to his whims!"

Consequently, Patriarch Li took his men and rushed to the recruitment venue.

He happened to run into the Cangshan Sect Elder, who was preparing to pack up and leave, and accepted the invitation on Li Qingyang's behalf.

Upon learning from the other party that his son had already joined a sect, Patriarch Li subconsciously wondered if there could be a sect even more excellent than the Cangshan Sect.

And the result?

That brat had joined the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect!

The Li family had a small scale in Qingyang City and could be considered comparable to an eighth-rate sect; for his son to join a ninth-rate sect was something Patriarch Li absolutely could not accept!

After a brief moment of shock, he said in a deep voice: "Qingyang, don't joke with your father."

"Father."

Li Qingyang said: "I am not joking; I am now a disciple of the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect."

This sentence dealt a double critical hit, causing Patriarch Li's body to tremble and forcing him to take two steps back involuntarily.

"Patriarch!"

The servant hurried over to support him.

Patriarch Li steadied himself, pointed at Li Qingyang, and said with a trembling voice: "The face of my Li family has been completely lost by you today!"

If his son had joined a sixth-rate sect, he could accept it, but he could not accept him joining the Iron Bone Sect; after all, it was only a ninth-rate one!

What's more.

Such a trash sect not only had no future, but it would also make the Li family a laughingstock!

The martial artists from various sects watching the commotion began to laugh.

The number one genius of Qingyang City had a problem with his head, but his father was still normal, knowing that joining the Iron Bone Sect was a disgrace.

"Young Master!"

The Li family servant urged: "Stop making the Patriarch angry and hurry up and leave that trash sect!"

"Crack."

Jun Changxiao clenched his fists slightly.

For even a family servant to think his sect was trash was truly infuriating!

"Father."

Li Qingyang said earnestly: "A person must have integrity. Since I have joined the Iron Bone Unyielding Sect, I will not leave."

"You..."

Patriarch Li was so angry his teeth were chattering, and he said: "Unfilial son!"

The Cangshan Sect Elder could no longer stand by and said: "Young Master Li, of all virtues, filial piety comes first. To defy your father in this manner is a great act of unfilial behavior."

Li Qingyang's face showed signs of hesitation and guilt.

"It's over."

Jun Changxiao thought to himself, "The duck that was already in my hand is about to fly away."

After a moment, Li Qingyang's gaze turned firm. "Father, I have walked the path you paved for me since I was a child. Now that I have grown into a man, I should make my own choices."

Patriarch Li pointed at the banner of the Iron Bone Sect and said, "Joining a Ninth-rate Sect—is that your choice?!"

"Yes."

Li Qingyang replied earnestly.

Patriarch Li was so angry he nearly vomited blood. His finger trembled as he roared, "If you don't withdraw from the Iron Bone Sect, you will no longer have me as your father!"

"Young Master Li, the Iron Bone Sect has no future. You should withdraw quickly."

"There are so many excellent sects present; any one of them is better than the Iron Bone Sect. Don't be so stubborn."

"Patriarch Li is not young anymore. If you anger him into a health crisis, you, as a son, will regret it for the rest of your life."

"Young Master Li, please think twice before you act."

The martial artists from various sects, who were just there to watch the chaos, clamored loudly.

They weren't doing it for Patriarch Li; they simply didn't want to see a trash sect possess a genius with a High-grade Spirit Root.

"A bunch of idiots."

Jun Changxiao cursed under his breath.

"Patriarch Li."

He cupped his hands and said, "Your son's life should be chosen by himself. As a father, you should support him, not obstruct him."

"Furthermore."

He paused, then continued, "My Iron Bone Sect is not as unbearable as you think. If Young Master Li joins my sect, his future achievements will certainly be higher, not lower."

"Higher, not lower?"

Patriarch Li suppressed his rage and said coldly, "Does your Iron Bone Sect really think it's something special?"

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, "My Iron Bone Sect is not something special; it is a piece of raw jade waiting to be carved."

"Pah!"

"A trash sect comparing itself to jade—how shameless!"

"If I had his silver tongue, I wouldn't have to worry about failing to recruit disciples!"

The martial artists from the various sects scoffed.

Patriarch Li was incensed. "My son must have been deceived by your flowery words to join the Iron Bone Sect!"

Jun Changxiao said with a straight face, "As the Sect Leader of the Iron Bone Sect, I have always recruited disciples in a proper and upright manner. I never bother to deceive anyone."

Patriarch Li said coldly, "Your cultivation is not even as good as my family's retainers. What face do you have to call yourself a Sect Leader?"

Jun Changxiao replied, "Patriarch Li, although my cultivation is not high, I can guide Young Master Li and help him become a powerhouse. That is enough."

"Damn!"

"He really can brag!"

"Young Master Li has exceptional talent, and he wants to guide him?"

"In my opinion, Young Master Li could completely serve as the Sect Leader of the Iron Bone Sect and teach him how to improve his cultivation realm!"

The crowd's disdain for Jun Changxiao grew stronger, but they had to admit that having a thick skin and the ability to brag was a talent in its own right.

Patriarch Li's anger continued to mount, and he wanted nothing more than to point at Jun Changxiao and curse him out, but as a prominent figure in Qingyang City, he forced the urge down.

"Sect Leader Jun."

Just then, the Cangshan Sect Elder spoke up. "To make a disciple a powerhouse, one must first have an extraordinary understanding of martial arts. Since you are so confident, you must have a wealth of Martial Arts Experience, right?"

This old man is trying to set a trap for me.

Jun Changxiao could tell that if he answered that he had Martial Arts Experience, the elder would surely make things difficult for him on purpose. If he said he had no experience, Patriarch Li would certainly force his son to withdraw from the sect.

Sigh, this is such a dilemma.

Seeking votes.
