Chen Changming looked at the blazing light in Li Huayuan's eyes, but inwardly remained on guard.
Could this guy be planning to use "joining the Mountain-Suppressing Sword Sect" as a pretext to lure me out of the Red Luan Immortal Sect, then hand me over to the Beast Taming Immortal Sect for the reward?
Although the reward on the Beast Taming Immortal Sect's wanted notice was not particularly generous to an eighth-level Spirit Transformation expert and might not be enough to tempt Li Huayuan, one could never afford to let down one's guard.
"Little Friend Chen Shan, our sect master thinks extremely highly of your talent in the sword dao. If you join us, the sect will devote every resource to nurturing you. We will never allow your talent to be buried!"
Seeing that Chen Changming still had not stated his position, Li Huayuan raised the stakes, his tone brimming with earnestness.
Chen Changming's expression remained calm. He cupped his hands slightly and politely declined, "Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Li, but this junior is living steadily in the Red Luan Immortal Sect at present and has no plans to seek another place for now."
"Steadily?"
Li Huayuan frowned, his burning gaze fixed on Chen Changming as he said in a deep voice, "Though you have entered the Red Luan Immortal Sect, you cannot cultivate its core Red Luan Immortal Art at all—it was a cultivation art tailored specifically for women. Staying here will only waste your time!"
After a pause, he deliberately brought up Ye Xuanji. "How powerful is the sword dao inheritance of my Mountain-Suppressing Sword Sect? If you can master it, your future achievements will certainly not fall short of Ye Xuanji, that genius of the Beast Taming Immortal Sect!"
Chen Changming understood at once.
