Do You Want to Join Us?

Just as Gao Xingqiu said, Su Jie returned and recuperated before leading her men out to fight, leaving rivers of blood in many places! The Market was filled with unease and uproar.

However, forces such as the Seven Stars Sect remained inactive, and the situation was calm.

It's hard to say whether they have the support of the Profound Yin Sect behind them, since they haven't made any moves at this time.

Of course, it's also possible that their descendants are all in the Purple Forest Secret Realm.

Or perhaps, through the mediation of Dragon Head Mountain, a cooperation agreement was actually reached with the Red Cloud Sect.

However, Chen Wang happened to be in the Red Cloud Sect at that time, thus avoiding the chaos.

The battle has not yet affected the Red Cloud Sect.

The Profound Yin Sect originally intended to cause some trouble, but unexpectedly, both sides were prepared, so the element of surprise was lost, and a fierce battle ensued.

It wasn't until the third day that Chen Wang was led to an elegant courtyard by a Red Cloud Sect Disciple.

There were only three people in the courtyard: an old man with a goatee, a middle-aged man with graying temples who looked extremely refined, and a young female cultivator named Su Jie, who had a long sword hanging at her waist, making her look even more aloof.

The middle-aged man sat at the head of the table, Su Jie sat next to him.

The old man kept fiddling with a string of beads in his hand, which was carved with some runes and was a fine magical Law Artifact.

Chen Wang walked in, and Chen Wang Su Jie nodded and smiled at him from the side.

Chen Wang nodded and smiled slightly at her.

The middle-aged man with graying temples said calmly, "My surname is Qin. You can call me Elder Qin. This is Elder Luo. Su Jie, you have met before."

Chen Wang nodded and greeted him.

Elder Luo simply gave a lazy reply.

The extremely refined Elder Qin, who looked like a dashing and handsome middle-aged man, said, "Thanks to you for bringing the news, otherwise we would have been in a very passive position. I have been busy with affairs these past few days and have neglected you. Please don't take it to heart."

This person spoke in a very calm manner.

Chen Wang waved his hand to indicate his understanding.

Su Jie clasped her hands in a fist salute to him. "Without you, I might have really fallen into the hands of thieves, and the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Chen Wang smiled and said, "I was just delivering a message. Elder Su's methods are profound; dealing with those thieves will be no problem for him."

Su Jie was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled, "Please call me fellow Daoist, I am not an elder."

Su Jie has a cool and aloof appearance, and her personality is even colder, but she is not the type to be taciturn. She is decisive and ruthless, and can command respect from others.

However, he didn't show such a relaxed smile or say much.

Elder Qin glanced at her indifferently, then at Chen Wang.

He continued, "Chen Wang, have you ever considered joining the Red Cloud Sect as an Outer Sect Disciple?"

Chen Wang was taken aback, not expecting the other party to be so direct.

However, he simply replied, "Of course I'm willing."

He had originally intended to get in touch with the Red Cloud Sect, but he hadn't expected it to go so smoothly.

Although the Red Cloud Sect has many enemies in secret, I've already incurred the wrath of the Profound Yin Sect, so it's better to join the Red Cloud Sect.

You should always bet on one side, whether it's big or small.

Elder Luo coughed and looked away from the bracelet. "Elder Qin, this doesn't seem to be in accordance with the rules."

Elder Qin said, "These are turbulent times. This young brother is chivalrous and came to deliver the news at this time. Joining our Red Cloud Sect will be a great help to us."

Elder Luo frowned and said, "Now the sect's standards for accepting disciples are even stricter. Those with ordinary aptitude should not be accepted."

As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Wang.

Those words were referring to Chen Wang.

Chen Wang didn't feel humiliated by being looked down upon; he was thinking about something else, "Did Su Jie tell the sect that I'm a body cultivator?"

Gao Xingqiu didn't mention this, but he knew about it; this older brother was very reliable in his work.

He simply said he got a minor injury on the way and was brought here by Chen Wang.

He didn't mean to erase Chen Wang's life-saving grace, but Chen Wang saving him was no merit to the Red Cloud Sect. After all, he had an employer-employee relationship with the Red Cloud Sect, and it wasn't like he had saved a Red Cloud Sect Disciple.

Gao Xingqiu had mentioned to Chen Wang that they were both intelligent people who understood things immediately.

He's the kind of person who won't say a word he shouldn't.

Chen Wang found it strange that if Su Jie had told the sect that she was a body cultivator and had killed a Profound Yin Sect disciple, the sect shouldn't have looked down on her so much.

He glanced at the female cultivator, who smiled slightly at Chen Wang.

Su Jie said, "In my opinion, talent is one aspect, but character is more important. Chen Wang has twice reported news for our sect, which has been of great benefit to the sect. If he is willing, I think there is no problem with him becoming a disciple."

Elder Luo frowned and said, "Little Su, you're young, you can't understand the intricacies of this matter, so you should learn more and talk less."

Su Jie said, "I'm just expressing my opinion."

She showed no dissatisfaction with Elder Luo's attitude, remaining extremely calm.

Elder Qin said, "Now is the time to start recruiting people. I think Xiao Su is right. Character is more important than talent."

Elder Qin was clearly a very influential figure, and Elder Luo couldn't question his words too much.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I need to test his aptitude. If it's too poor, it's definitely not good and would be a waste of resources."

His words were extremely impolite.

The minimum requirement for the Red Cloud Sect to recruit disciples is two ripples, which is already the lowest.

Most independent cultivators are merely a ripple, while ordinary people have only this level of talent.

To be honest, Chen Wang doesn't know his own aptitude at all, but he's not bothered by it.

Elder Qin looked at Chen Wang and asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Wang smiled. In this world, he maintained a harmless and cheerful persona.

"I have no objection. It's true that poor aptitude would drag down the sect, and I don't want that either."

Elder Qin nodded. "In that case, let Elder Luo test it for you."

Elder Luo, who was opposite, stood up.

The Red Cloud Sect's method of testing aptitude doesn't require Spirit Stone or anything like that; they have a special Method Formula.

At this moment, Elder Luo walked over to him and said calmly, "No need to be nervous, it will be quick."

Chen Wang nodded.

Elder Luo did not think highly of Chen Wang. As a rogue cultivator who mingled in the Market, his talent was questionable.

If he were truly capable, he would have already made a name for himself or joined a sect. Why would he choose this moment? He muttered incantations, a light flashing around him, and then pointed a finger at Chen Wang.

This one wasn't particularly dangerous. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed on Chen Wang's forehead, like a drop of water falling into a lake, instantly creating ripples that spread outwards in concentric circles.
