If it were anyone else here, Murong Zhen wouldn't even need to take the initiative to extend her hand. Just a simple glance from her would make them kneel down and lick her feet. No one would be as cold as Lin Yi, not even willing to extend his hand.
Even though it was a little awkward, Murong Zhen quickly regained her composure. She said coquettishly, "In the future, we'll all be newcomers to Blue Cloud Pavilion. I'm just a weak woman who has no one to rely on. Brother Lin, you must remember to take care of me!"
The coquettish voice seeped into their bones, and since they hadn't seen a woman in a long time, even these practitioners with strong self-control couldn't help but feel their hearts fluttering. They wanted nothing more than to be in Lin Yi's place and pull this soft beauty into their arms, taking care of her.
Lin Yi's response to this was a noncommittal smile. He didn't have any intentions of responding at all.
This scene once again made everyone's jaws drop. If they had thought that Lin Yi was stupid and didn't know how to appreciate favors, now they didn't think that way anymore.
When they recalled the rumors that Lin Yi had countless girlfriends in the secular world, the crowd could not help but think that it was not that Lin Yi did not want to bother with the beautiful woman, Murong Zhen. He was just acting cool out of habit and preparing to play hard to get!
As high and mighty cultivators, even if it was difficult for them to gain the favor of female cultivators of the same cultivation level, their status among ordinary people was undeniable. If they really wanted to, people like them would definitely not lack women. Naturally, they had their own way of dealing with women.
Playing hard to get. As long as the situation was controlled well, not only could this move leave a deep impression on the other party, it was also more useful than trying to please them!
However, the prerequisite for using this move was that the person himself must possess sufficient attractiveness. In the world of cultivation where the strong were revered, the person must possess sufficient strength. At the same time, the person must also possess a powerful background. Otherwise, it would only produce the opposite effect.
In terms of strength … Although Lin Yi's strength was not bad compared to the newcomers in Blue Cloud Pavilion, he was only in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Murong Zhen, on the other hand, was an expert in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. She was superior!
In terms of background, Lin Yi was just a grassroots newcomer in the secular world. Even if everyone present was a grassroots loose cultivator, their background and strength were much better than Lin Yi's. After all, no matter how poor they were, as local cultivators, they still had friends and relatives.
Moreover … This Murong beauty was rumored to be related to Elder Murong of the Soaring Pavilion. Her background was unreachable to anyone here, let alone a weakling like Lin Yi who had come from the common world!
"Let's wait and see. Sooner or later, this pretentious old man will shoot himself in the foot. When that time comes, it'll be interesting when Beauty Murong steps on him." Meng Tong sneered.
Beside him, Li Zhengming couldn't help but grin when he heard this. Did Boss Lin Yi really have some thoughts about this Murong Zhen? He wasn't sure, but at least he knew one thing. If they really fought, Boss Lin Yi would definitely trample his opponent to death in a matter of minutes. There was no doubt about this!
Therefore, in his opinion, Meng Tong's self-indulgent thoughts could only be described with one word: naive!
However, he obviously wouldn't say this out loud. He just cooperated with the cold sneer. Of course, the target of this sneer was not Lin Yi, but the newcomer Meng Tong.
Seeing that Lin Yi didn't respond to her, Murong Zhen was a little annoyed. This guy, why didn't he take the initiative to give face!
The reason why she took the initiative to express her goodwill to Lin Yi was because she saw that Lin Yi was stronger than everyone else. Moreover, the other newcomers of Blue Cloud Pavilion seemed to be quite afraid of him. She felt that this person was not simple and could be used.
She originally thought that this kind of thing would be a piece of cake for a great beauty like her. She thought that she could easily make Lin Yi kneel under her skirt. She didn't expect that Lin Yi would be so unreasonable. He turned a blind eye to her in public twice!
Did this guy think that he was a super rich young master like Xu Lingchong? Could it be that he really wanted a great beauty like her to take the initiative to throw herself at him?
You're just an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator with no background. It's already a blessing that this lady is willing to look at you for a few lifetimes. And you want this beauty to throw herself at you? Bah, you're not worthy!
Although she was annoyed in her heart, there were so many people watching. Moreover, this was the first time she appeared in front of everyone. Murong Zhen didn't want to lose her poise and affect her image. She had not given up yet.
Even if she was inhumanely sent to Blue Cloud Pavilion as a newcomer, Murong Zhen didn't have the slightest intention of giving up. She still wanted to stay in Welcome Pavilion for a period of time. She wanted to take the opportunity to recruit a few powerful newcomers with a bright future. She wanted to prepare to deal with Shanghai Laner in the future!
If she wanted to deal with Shanghai Laner, the high and mighty lady, the newcomers of Blue Cloud Pavilion would definitely not be of much use. However, they were not completely useless. When the time came, she could set up a plan to use them as cannon fodder.
Because of Lin Yi's cold reaction, Murong Zhen was embarrassed and annoyed. Next to her, Meng Jueguang, the senior who was in charge, took the initiative to help her out of this predicament.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down. Let me formally introduce everyone!" Meng Jueguang pretended to be gentle and smiled at Murong Zhen. Then, he loudly introduced, "From today onwards, Lady Murong is officially a newcomer of Blue Cloud Pavilion. Like everyone else, she will be participating in the newcomer assessment. As for the assessment that she has already gone through, there is no need to make up for it alone."
After a pause, Meng Jueguang continued, "Also, because the fifteen caves at the foot of the mountain are already full, according to the orders of the higher-ups, we are to build a wooden house for Lady Murong as a temporary residence."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. If they said that they weren't the least bit confused about Murong Zhen's arrival, they would definitely be lying.
With Murong Zhen's strength and background, if she wanted to join the Three Great Pavilions, it would be a simple matter. The fact that she joined Welcome Pavilion halfway through was already strange enough. Moreover, she did not join Soaring Sky Pavilion, but Blue Cloud Pavilion.
Because of this, even if she left Welcome Pavilion in the future, according to the Three Great Pavilions' rules, she could only become an inner disciple of Blue Cloud Pavilion and not an inner disciple of Soaring Sky Pavilion. The difference in treatment between the two was huge!
For Murong Zhen, who was supposed to become an inner disciple of Soaring Sky Pavilion, this was simply inhumane and merciless suppression!
