Thus, Hong Xuanlei continued to stir up trouble. "Patriarch, you might not know this yet, but the Azure Cloud Sect has been occupying the Five Elements Sect's stall for the past two days. Today, they've already been caught red-handed by the Five Elements Sect. Needless to say, the Five Elements Sect will definitely hold the Azure Cloud Sect accountable. Our Shangguan Family can't be the scapegoat for the Blue Cloud Sect. Let's take this opportunity to expel the Blue Cloud Sect to avoid any trouble. What do you think, Family Head? "
Shangguan Qing Yun said expressionlessly, "I think Sect Master Hong can go back now. I won't send you off!"
Hong Xuanlei was dumbfounded. Weren't they having a good conversation just now? Why did they suddenly turn hostile? Looking at the teacup in Shangguan Qing Yun's hand, he knew that Shangguan Qing Yun was sending him off.
"Family Head, this junior is thinking for our Shangguan Family!" Hong Xuanlei felt that something was wrong, so he quickly tried to salvage the situation.
Shangguan Qing Yun snorted and interrupted him, "The Shangguan Family is the Shangguan Family, and the Xuanji Sect is the Xuanji Sect. Sect Master Hong, please don't say anything about our Shangguan Family. We aren't that close!"
Why did these words sound so familiar? Although they weren't exactly the same, the meaning seemed to be the same. Hong Xuanlei was a little anxious, so he quickly stood up and said, "Family Head, did this junior say something wrong? Please tell me!"
Hong Xuanlei was completely confused. From Shangguan Qing Yun's tone, he seemed to have accepted the Xuanji Sect, but now, it seemed like he was rejecting it. What did this mean?
"You didn't say anything wrong. I was being too tactful. " Shangguan Qing Yun paused for a moment, then looked at Hong Xuanlei and shouted, "Get lost! Do you understand now?"
Hong Xuanlei was immediately embarrassed. He understood that Shangguan Qing Yun really didn't want to see him anymore. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he could only leave with his tail between his legs.
"Who do you think you are? You're just one of the four weakest clans, why are you acting so arrogant? You've offended both the Cosmos Sect and the Five Elements Sect, just wait for your sect to be annihilated! I, your daddy, lowered my status to join your sect, but you still dare to treat me like this! In the future, even if you all kneel down and beg me, I won't go back!" Upon leaving the Shangguan Clan's gate, Hong Xuanlei immediately started cursing in a low voice. His voice was only loud enough for himself to hear, if anyone from the Shangguan Clan heard it, the Xuanji Sect would be in big trouble.
Hong Xuanlei's followers were waiting outside, so they didn't know what was going on. They couldn't hear Hong Xuanlei's mutterings, but it was obvious that the Xuanji Sect had failed.
"Sect Master, it's fine if the Shangguan Clan doesn't want to accept us. After all, they are the weakest of the four great clans. Let's just try the Universe Sect!" The follower took half a step forward and whispered to Hong Xuanlei.
Hong Xuanlei sighed and said, "I also want to join the Qiankun Sect, but they didn't even pay attention to us before. Will it make any difference if we go now?"
"Master, did you forget that when we were still in the Five Element Sect, you were friends with a senior disciple who was in charge of the Qiankun Sect? Although you were using the name of the Five Element Sect, you were the one who established the relationship with them. Why don't you go and try?" The follower had been following Hong Xuanlei for a long time, so he knew who Hong Xuanlei had been in contact with, so he immediately reminded him.
Hong Xuanlei's eyes lit up. "That makes sense. If we go alone, the Qiankun Sect might not pay attention to us. But if we have someone we know to introduce us to, then it'll be completely different. Well done! If we succeed, I'll remember your merit! "
After finding a new way out, Hong Xuanlei immediately changed his direction. He went to the Qiankun Sect to look for the manager he was familiar with. However, when the manager heard that Hong Xuanlei wanted to join the Qiankun Sect, he immediately rejected him.
Even fair-weather friends were considered friends. If it was some trivial matter, then it was fine. But if they accepted the traitor of the Shangguan Clan, the Xuanji Sect … Wasn't that just asking for trouble? What if they attracted Lin Yi's revenge?
After Jin Hua suffered a loss at the hands of Shangguan Liuyun, the Qiankun Sect had already warned all of their disciples that they were forbidden from interfering with anything related to the Shangguan Clan or the Blue Cloud Sect. Those who violated the rules would be punished severely.
"How could this be? How could this be?" Hong Xuanlei muttered to himself in a daze as he walked. Three of the four great sects had already clearly rejected the Profound Secrets Sect's offer to join them, so the only choice left was the Heaven Enlightenment Faction.
Although Hong Xuanlei didn't have many acquaintances in the Awakening Heaven Faction, and he even had some conflicts with a small sect under the Awakening Heaven Faction, he had no other choice but to send a letter to the Awakening Heaven Faction. However, he was rejected without a doubt. The Awakening Heaven Faction didn't need a sect like the Xuanji Sect, which was like a burden.
"What's the problem? It's impossible that none of the four great sects and families want our Xuanji Sect! In terms of strength, our Xuanji Sect is much stronger than most of the sects and families that aren't part of the four big and ten small sects and families!" Hong Xuanlei was extremely depressed. If he knew this would happen, he would have just stayed in the North Island Alliance peacefully.
"Sect Master, don't you still have a spy in your hands? Perhaps it's not a spy from the Blue Cloud Sect, but a spy from the Shangguan Clan. That's why the Shangguan Clan rejected our Profound Ji Sect's offer to join them." Hong Xuanlei's follower could be considered as doing his best. When Hong Xuanlei was at a loss of what to do, Hong Xuanlei was able to come up with some ideas.
"That's right! If you didn't mention it, I would have almost forgotten about it!" Hong Xuanlei clapped his hands and an excited expression appeared on his face. "Let's go back quickly! It doesn't matter if this guy is a spy from the Azure Clouds Faction or the Shangguan Clan, we can only try to save a dead horse. If we rely on this spy to mediate between us, we might still have a chance!"
Hong Xuanlei was in despair, but it seemed like there was a chance to turn things around. He immediately sped up and returned to the Xuanji Sect, bringing out the disciple who had been locked up.
"Li Yunjia, I don't care if you're a spy from the Shangguan Clan or the Azure Clouds Faction. From now on, as long as you can complete the mission I've given you, I'll let bygones be bygones!" Hong Xuanlei sat on a chair, pretending to be amiable as he spoke to the innocent disciple, Li Yunjia.
Li Yunjia was still confused. He had only come back to report some information, how did he end up being locked up like a spy? What was going on?
"Sect Master, disciple isn't a spy, disciple's heart is only for the Xuanji Sect!" Li Yunjia tried to defend himself.
Hong Xuanlei raised his hand and made a gesture, then said, "Fine, fine, fine. I believe you're not a spy. How about this, I have something that fits your original mission, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear it."
