"I wasn't interested either, but who told us to become the leading figures of the sect without even realizing it? They won't care whether you're in league with the Thousand Mountain Society. They'll only crush everything connected to tradition. You're one of those things." The crew-cut man smiled.
"Oh, right." He suddenly changed the subject. "I heard you're the strongest genius the sect has seen in a hundred years. Back then, quite a few organizations had their eyes on you. If our Moving Mountain Sect hadn't acted quickly, you might not have joined us at all. Right?"
"Yes," Lu Sheng answered firmly.
"Then can I ask you something? Right now, can you defeat Ouyang Ji and Zhao Quangen? According to the two of them, you even thought they were too weak?
"Well then, there's an opportunity right in front of you now, one that'll let you show everyone just how powerful you are. Dare to do it?"
"..." Lu Sheng could not even be bothered to answer him. Such low-grade baiting nonsense had no skill to it whatsoever. Only an idiot would fall for it.
"Don't stay silent. Let me tell you, this really isn't me trying to stir things up. Very soon, you'll be forced into it whether you like it or not. Do you know what title you have outside now?" The crew-cut man grinned and raised a thumb.
"This!" He wiggled his thumb. "People call you the strongest of the Moving Mountain Sect, ranked seventh on the Blue Lagrange Star Moon Ranking. Among all geniuses in the entire Republic, you rank seventh. Ouyang Ji, whom you defeated before, ranks ninth."
"..." Lu Sheng looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"What? You don't believe it?" The crew-cut man laughed again.
"I said I wasn't interested."
