Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 655: Chapter 656: Never Lowering Oneself

Although Cui Hao didn’t know what to say to avoid getting beaten, he also understood that if he said nothing at this moment, he would definitely receive a lecture from Third Senior Sister.

He had just stepped out of the Tianyan Sect gates, not even an hour had passed... this lecture was absolutely not something he could stomach.

If only for the sake of his own face!

Moreover, this was a misunderstanding. If he cared about face, Cui Hao didn’t believe the Mahayana cultivator across from him didn’t care about dignity.

Even if he was truly seen through, the elder across would probably take the opportunity to step down gracefully.

Cui Hao’s expression immediately turned serious, and he bowed: ”Senior Wanban...”

”Apologies, Senior. There is no so-called Senior Wanban—my junior brother is talking nonsense.”

Chen Baiqing’s voice cut over Cui Hao’s.

The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect elder glanced sideways at Cui Hao, then showed a slightly embarrassed expression, roughly understanding the situation, and smiled lightly:

”My knowledge was lacking.”

Chen Baiqing reached out and patted Cui Hao’s shoulder beside her, bowing slightly with him:

”My junior brother has made you laugh, Senior. I hope you’ll forgive him.”

Cui Hao could only bow and reply:

”I hope you’ll forgive me, Senior.”

The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect elder used spiritual energy to gently lift them both, smiling:

”It’s not a big deal. It’s actually better that there’s no Senior Wanban—otherwise my Mahayana cultivation would have become the joke. The Sect Master is already waiting in the main hall. If there’s nothing else you need to handle immediately, please follow me.”

Chen Baiqing was full of apology:

”Sorry to trouble you, Senior.”

The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect elder nodded gently and turned to lead the way for them.

Chen Baiqing didn’t say much more, giving Cui Hao a look to follow.

The flying speed wasn’t fast.

Cui Hao looked at Chen Baiqing with a slightly aggrieved expression, the meaning clear—if he had been allowed to say a few words, he could have muddled through.

Chen Baiqing glanced at him and pretended not to see.

If they were just visiting the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect for a casual stroll, Chen Baiqing would probably have let Cui Hao freestyle.

But this visit wasn’t just a simple stroll and experience.

It was a long-term development at the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect. She herself had falsely transmitted Master’s orders in the Western Niu Continent, and although Master had properly ”debunked” it,

the effect of that debunking was also limited.

Chen Baiqing naturally had to be especially careful about her reputation at the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect now. Although letting Cui Hao bluff through would work, looking at it long-term, admitting fault now might be awkward, but it would leave a straightforward impression.

Cui Hao probably hadn’t understood this point yet.

Aside from cultivation, Cui Hao wasn’t stupid in other aspects. She simply hadn’t revealed the key points to him—she would need to explain later.

The magnificent main hall was already faintly visible through the clouds ahead.

Chen Baiqing glanced gently at Cui Hao, her eyes narrowing slightly—behave yourself for now.

Cui Hao nodded repeatedly to guarantee it.

The three figures descended.

The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect elder led the way, stepping into the hall, then bowed:

”Sect Master, I have brought the two as ordered.”

Cui Hao’s next foot followed into the hall, but he also subconsciously froze.

The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s main hall at this moment wasn’t like the Tianyan Sect’s, where even Lu Xuan didn’t like to stay there when there was nothing to do.

Inside the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s main hall,

Li Moze sat steadily in the main position, with core disciple Xu Jin standing to the side.

Then extending left and right were figures whose aura was so thick it was hard to describe—those who could sit here were probably at least around Mahayana Peak. The current scale of seating nearly filled this extremely grand hall.

Cui Hao looked up, and the first seat on the left was Huang Miao, who called himself Huang Butui.

Although he knew that the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect cultivators seated here were all restraining their own pressure,

the dao resonance instinctively spilling from their surroundings filled this luxurious hall.

Cui Hao only felt the space and air around him becoming viscous.

Chen Baiqing stepped forward, standing beside Cui Hao, her own aura pushing forward to shield him.

Cui Hao immediately felt much more comfortable, glancing sideways to see that Third Senior Sister’s face showed no particular expression.

Although Third Senior Sister occasionally complained about him, when it really mattered, she wouldn’t let him suffer.

Chen Baiqing bowed:

”Chen Baiqing greets Sect Master Li. This is my Fifth Junior Brother, Cui Hao.”

”No need for such formality.” Li Moze gestured toward two empty positions to his right front. ”Please be seated first.”

Chen Baiqing wasn’t intimidated by this, nor did she mind that the positions were ridiculously high—it was very possible that even as lower seats, the others were Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.

But so what?

Wasn’t Li Moze’s courtesy and the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s attention precisely because she was Master’s disciple?

Chen Baiqing’s expression calm, she stepped forward. Facing the scrutiny of many gazes, she showed no panic.

Although Cui Hao’s cultivation was low, his spirit had never been low. Although the pressure wasn’t directed at him, it did make him uncomfortable, but his expression remained extremely relaxed.

The two walked to their assigned positions, bowed slightly as a greeting, and then sat down without hesitation.

A smile appeared on Li Moze’s face, and he spoke directly:

”As expected—those who can be Chu Xingchen’s disciples are all exceptionally talented.”

Xu Jin’s mouth also held a smile, his gaze quite appreciative toward the two.

By any measure, Chen Baiqing and Cui Hao counted as his martial nephews and niece.

Chen Baiqing’s face showed a gentle smile:

”Senior Li overpraises us. We simply cannot fail Master’s teachings.”

Li Moze nodded gently, then gestured:

”These are all seniors of the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect. This is just a simple introduction for now—remember their faces. If there are any urgent issues, whoever is closest, go to them.”

”Additionally, the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s experience trials are not easy. Your Senior Uncle Xu practically came back half-carrying himself last time.”

”So act within your capabilities—your own safety is most important.”

Saying this, Li Moze tapped his space ring with spiritual light, taking out two sets of Xuanqing Heavenly Sect inner disciple robes and several tokens, which he passed to Chen Baiqing and Cui Hao with spiritual energy.

He continued:

”The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s experience trials are conducted in squads, looking out for each other. Since you are both Chu Xingchen’s disciples, your abilities are naturally beyond question. Chen Baiqing will be the squad leader. The squad codename is Changyang.”

”According to Xuanqing Heavenly Sect tradition, when a new squad is formed, members must first familiarize themselves with each other, understand each other’s abilities, and understand that squad members are people you can entrust your life to.”

”How you do this is up to you.”

Chen Baiqing stood, accepting the items and responding:

”Bai Qing understands.”

Li Moze smiled at Chen Baiqing.

To truly have weight in the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect, winning over this group of one-in-ten-thousand cultivators was inevitable.

Chu Xingchen had won over Xu Jin through action.

Chen Baiqing merely having the title of disciple was naturally not enough.

Although the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect did indeed need closer ties with Chu Xingchen now,

a sect that had once received Heaven’s mandate wouldn’t just go through the motions, would it?

Immortal sects had their own backbone.

The Xuanqing Heavenly Sect had immortal bone.

Never lowering itself.
