"Why not join the Immortal Sects?" Lu Yuanzhen smiled proudly, his expression filled with an indescribable pride.
One look at his face, and Tang Changsheng understood most of it.
"Back then, those experts from the Immortal Sects who were my peers weren't much stronger than me. Now most of them are elders or sect leaders, and their cultivation has at least reached the True Immortal realm...
"How could I bow my head before their junior disciples now and serve them?"
In his youth, Lu Yuanzhen had been an unmatched talent. Who knew how many Core Disciples of the Immortal Sects had tried to recruit him?
Lu Yuanzhen had refused them all. Most of those people had since made names for themselves, become elders or sect leaders, and reached the True Immortal realm.
They had long since stepped out of the competition and no longer recruited people.
Only disciples of the new generation who hoped to contend for high positions still went about recruiting Rogue Cultivators in droves.
Tang Changsheng could do such a thing. But with Lu Yuanzhen's pride, how could he bow his head before those juniors?
If word got back, the older generation would laugh themselves to death.
"Look at that Lu Yuanzhen. Back then, he strutted about like he owned the world. We called on him three times, and he wouldn't budge. Now he's gone to serve under a disciple of mine... It's simply..."
The mere thought of such gossip meant Lu Yuanzhen could never make that choice.
Then again, there probably weren't many elite disciples with the nerve to invite Lu Yuanzhen out of seclusion...
Even if Lu Yuanzhen agreed, few could afford the price!
Once Tang Changsheng understood, he could only sigh.
He could not do it himself, so he could hardly urge Lu Yuanzhen
