Chapter 64 I'm a sweeper from the Tianyun Sect!\
The sun set in the west.
Zheng Xiaofeng took a deep breath. At this moment, he could only use that one move. He then gave a bitter smile and said:
"Then following you will lead to a way out? You are disciples of the Tianyun Sect from Central State. The Qingfeng Sect naturally wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
"And me?" Zheng Xiaofeng looked up, gritting his teeth and said, "I am just a cultivator who climbed up step by step from the very bottom. Every step for me was extremely difficult..."
This kind of clumsy talk.
Chu Xingchen had no patience for him to continue and directly interrupted:
"If you have a bad reincarnation, blame fate. There are people who can't even reach the Golden Core stage. Why don't you compare yourself to them?"
"Just because we have a good reincarnation, do you think our competition isn't fierce? Do you think we all reached the Golden Core stage by drinking water?"
"Do you think only you have it hard? Was it easy for my martial sister and me?"
Seeing that Chu Xingchen's expression showed no pity, and even his rebuttal was very reasonable, Zheng Xiaofeng understood that this set of words would absolutely not work on this high-ranking disciple of the Tianyun Sect.
Who the hell said that those key protected disciples from Central State were ignorant of the ways of the world?
Damn it, what he said was no worse than his own.
Chu Xingchen said with a sincere expression: "Little Zheng, you haven't seen through the current situation because you are just afraid of death. It's actually very easy to solve if you don't want to die."
Zheng Xiaofeng was stunned by these words and looked at Chu Xingchen with suspicion: "You mean?"
Chu Xingchen said solemnly: "From now on, you are an externally hired gate-sweeping staff member of the Tianyun Sect."
Hearing this, Zheng Xiaofeng suddenly frowned and thought carefully—a gate-sweeping staff member of the Tianyun Sect?
Soon, after careful thought, he came to a conclusion—what the hell is the use of this?
Isn't this just the person who sweeps the main gate of the Tianyun Sect?
Chu Xingchen saw through Zheng Xiaofeng's expression and explained seriously: "If you met a Qi Refining stage old man sweeping the gate at the Tianyun Sect's entrance and he scolded you as a grandson, would you dare to make a move on him?"
Zheng Xiaofeng quickly came to a conclusion and said frankly:
"I wouldn't dare."
After all, anyone who could sweep the gate at the Tianyun Sect, regardless of their cultivation level, relying on the great mountain that is the Tianyun Sect, was not someone he could afford to provoke.
Zheng Xiaofeng then quickly said: "But this isn't the Tianyun Sect's gate. Even if I were the chief sweeper, it would be useless."
"Your vision is too narrow." Chu Xingchen put his arm around Zheng Xiaofeng's shoulder and said, "Think carefully, are you afraid of the name Tianyun Sect, or the cultivators behind the name of the Tianyun Sect?"
"That's naturally..." Zheng Xiaofeng looked as if he had a sudden realization, but then looked at Chu Xingchen with suspicion.
The words sound good now, but if there was a real conflict and those elders suddenly rose up and killed, wouldn't they still come for him?
Your mouth is yours, you can say whatever you want, but your life is your own!
Facing Zheng Xiaofeng's suspicious gaze, Chu Xingchen sighed:
"Little Zheng, you must understand one thing. What you have now is not the right to choose, but the right to be chosen. This is your last chance. Ask again, and you should think carefully about how to face the Sect Leader."
Chu Xingchen's words ended here. Without hesitation, he turned and left with Yaoqin.
Yaoqin also stepped to follow, at the same time sending a voice transmission to ask Chu Xingchen: "Will he take the bait if you say it like this?"
"For this kind of person, the more perfect the guarantee you give him, the more suspicious he becomes. Often, an explanation that has flaws but is barely reasonable will make him take the bait." Chu Xinghen replied via voice transmission.
"Besides, he no longer has any choice. Trust me, in ten seconds, he will beg you to let him sweep the ground."
Yaoqin nodded, half-convinced, and at the same time started counting the seconds in her heart.
One...
Two...
Before Yaoqin could even count to three, an urgent voice sounded from behind.
"Wait! I surrender! I surrender!"
Zheng Xiaofeng's voice hurriedly came over. He quickly took a few steps forward to Chu Xingchen's side and said:
"But you have to guarantee that I can go to the Tianyun Sect to sweep the ground afterward!"
Yaoqin glanced at Zheng Xiaofeng and agreed calmly: "I promise you."
Zheng Xiaofeng looked at the speaking Yaoqin, then locked his gaze back onto Chu Xingchen.
From the very beginning, this man was in charge. Although he was nominally the junior martial brother, his status in the Tianyun Sect was likely higher.
He had to be the one to speak!
Chu Xingchen also wanted to laugh. The one who could actually make decisions you ignored, instead seeking out him who wasn't even a member of the Tianyun Sect.
"Naturally, that's not a problem." Chu Xingchen nodded in agreement, then his face turned serious as he said: "But you understand the consequences of betraying your own side now, don't you?"
Zheng Xiaofeng blurted out: "I will absolutely be loyal to you with utter devotion!"
Chu Xingchen nodded in satisfaction and affirmed:
"Very good, remember, whatever I tell you via voice transmission later, you just say that. Remember, from now on you are a member of the Tianyun Sect, remember to be more arrogant."
"Ah? Arrogant? I don't know how."
"Don't worry, you'll learn very quickly."
Qingfeng Sect.
Inside the side hall for discussions.
Just as he walked into the room, Chu Xingchen suddenly shouted at the Qingfeng Sect disciple at the door:
"Go! Get that damn Sect Leader for me!"
The Qingfeng Sect disciple was clearly stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to find the Sect Leader.
Chu Xingchen looked at the somewhat uneasy Zheng Xiaofeng beside him and said to reassure him: "Don't panic!"
Zheng Xiaofeng nodded instinctively.
Yaoqin looked at Zheng Xiaofeng's slightly panicked expression, feeling that this person was unreliable.
Will he be able to do it?
He's already scared out of his wits before even meeting them. If he actually sees them, won't his legs go weak before he can even say anything?
There wasn't much buffer time for Zheng Xiaofeng. The Sect Leader, having received the news, came flying over in a hurry and had just stepped into the discussion hall.
His gaze swept around the room.
Chu Xingchen, with an icy expression and eyes full of questioning.
Yaoqin, her hand lightly resting on her sword hilt, her eyes cold.
And Zheng Xiaofeng, who was extremely panicked.
The Sect Leader cupped his hands and asked: "May I ask what is so urgent?"
Chu Xingchen snorted coldly and said: "Intelligence from Central State has reached us, saying that someone from your Qingfeng Sect seems to be involved with evil cultivators. We've come specially to ask the Sect Leader for clarification!"
"Intelligence from Central State? May I have a look? If this is true, the Qingfeng Sect will naturally clean up its own house!" the Sect Leader replied seriously.
But the Sect Leader did not wait for Chu Xingchen's answer.
Zheng Xiaofeng's slightly unconfident voice came: "Cen... Central State intelligence is something you can see?"
The Sect Leader's gaze instantly turned to Zheng Xiaofeng, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Zheng Xiaofeng had seen that questioning gaze countless times and had endured it countless times.
At this very moment, for some reason, a surge of blood rushed to his head.
Zheng Xiaofeng shouted angrily: "What the hell are you looking at! I'm the one who said it, is Central State intelligence something you can see?!"
As this sentence was shouted, only one word could describe Zheng Xiaofeng's entire being—liberated!
It was a feeling of having let out all his frustration.
The Sect Leader suppressed his anger and asked in a lowered voice: "Little Zheng! Have you taken the wrong pill?!"
Zheng Xiaofeng shouted again without hesitation:
"I haven't taken any pills! I'm with the Tianyun Sect now! You old dog, show me some respect!"
"You? Tianyun Sect?"
"That's right! I'm a gate-sweeper at the Tianyun Sect now! What are you gonna do about it?!"
