Upon hearing the Sect Leader's words, he thought that Xiao Chen would fly into a rage. However, after he finished speaking, he did not receive a reply from Xiao Chen for a long time. For a moment, the Sect Leader began to feel a little uneasy. He did not know what Xiao Chen was thinking. Upon hearing the Sect Leader's words, he thought that Xiao Chen would fly into a rage. However, after he finished speaking, he did not receive a reply from Xiao Chen for a long time. For a moment, the Sect Leader began to feel a little uneasy. He did not know what Xiao Chen was thinking.
In fact, the Sect Leader did not have much resistance to merging his Sect into the Sword Sect. Firstly, it was because his Sect was not strong to begin with. It was a very small Sect force.
Secondly, he was the one who founded the Sect and did not have a complicated history. As such, he could easily merge his Sect into the Sword Sect.
Lastly, it was also because of his personal reasons. He knew that the competition in the Great Thousand World would become more intense in the future. For a small Sect like his, it would only be more difficult to survive in the future. Instead of that, he might as well find a big tree and hug it tightly. After all, everyone knew that it was better to lean on a big tree for shade.
It was precisely because of the above considerations that he secretly came to meet Xiao Chen. He wanted to gain some credit when he joined the Sword Sect. This way, it would be easier for him to mingle in the Sword Sect.
After not receiving a reply from Xiao Chen for a long time, the Sect Leader began to feel a little uneasy. A thin layer of sweat unconsciously appeared on his back, and his clothes were gradually drenched in sweat.
However, just as the Sect Leader was getting more and more nervous and was about to reach his limit, he heard Xiao Chen speak slowly.
"Raise your head."
After hearing Xiao Chen's words, the Sect Leader carefully raised his head. Xiao Chen also took the opportunity to ask, "What's your name?"
"Sect Master, my name is Tian Nong," Tian Nong replied cautiously.
Tian Nong. Hearing this, Xiao Chen murmured softly. Then, as if talking to himself, he said, "You are a very smart person."
Tian Nong took the initiative to find him and told him the truth about the affairs between the major sects. Although it seemed a little disgraceful, Xiao Chen was not disgusted by it.
Perhaps this Tian Nong was a little cowardly and even a little opportunistic, but as long as his heart was with the Sword Sect, or if he was on his side, that was enough. As for the rest, Xiao Chen could tolerate it.
He knew what Tian Nong was thinking, and he also knew the purpose of Tian Nong's actions. That was why Xiao Chen said that Tian Nong was very smart. However, after hearing this, Tian Nong was so scared that he immediately knelt down on the ground and said repeatedly, "Tian Nong, you're right.
Please forgive me, Sect Master. I know my mistake. I … "
Tian Nong thought that Xiao Chen was angry at him. After all, who would like a two-faced person? However, looking at the frightened Tian Nong, Xiao Chen interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.
"Alright, although your actions are disgraceful, I am not that narrow-minded. But there is one thing you need to remember. People can be opportunistic, but they can't be two-faced. After joining the Sword Sect, you were born as a member of the Sword Sect, and you will die as a member of the Sword Sect. If you dare to betray the Sword Sect one day, believe me, I have ten thousand ways to make you regret it."
Seeing that Xiao Chen had no intention of blaming him, Tian Nong secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he nodded respectfully and replied, "Don't worry, Sect Master. I will never betray the Sword Sect in this lifetime. If I do, may the heavens strike me with lightning."
"Alright, get up," Xiao Chen said with a smile after seeing Tian Nong's solemn expression.
Tian Nong stood up, but he still appeared to be very cautious. On the other hand, Xiao Chen didn't care too much about this. He even took the initiative to invite Tian Nong to sit down and personally brewed a cup of tea for him.
Tian Nong was touched and nervous when he saw Xiao Chen personally brewing tea for him. He sat on the ground beside Xiao Chen and felt as though he was sitting on pins and needles.
After pouring a cup of tea for Tian Nong, Xiao Chen didn't say anything else. He sipped his tea and leisurely looked at the night sky.
Since Xiao Chen didn't speak, Tian Nong naturally didn't dare to interrupt. At the same time, he didn't dare to leave. He originally thought that Xiao Chen would continue to be silent, but after about ten minutes, Xiao Chen suddenly spoke.
"Tian Nong, there are so many stars in the sky, but why is it that the light they emit still can't compare to the moon?"
Xiao Chen seemed to be asking casually, but the smart Tian Nong immediately understood Xiao Chen's intention. He immediately cupped his hands respectfully and replied.
"Sect Master, how can a firefly compete with the bright moon?"
"Haha, that's right. Then what do you think our Sword Sect should do if all the major sects join forces?" Hearing this, Xiao Chen laughed and immediately asked.
What should the Sword Sect do in the face of more than ten sects joining forces? Xiao Chen's question was indeed a bit tricky, especially for Tian Nong.
After all, he hadn't officially joined the Sword Sect yet. Therefore, when answering Xiao Chen's question, he had to be extremely careful. If he said the wrong thing, it was very likely that Xiao Chen would be unhappy. The consequences were unimaginable.
He couldn't answer carelessly, but at the same time, he couldn't not answer. Fortunately, Tian Nong was extremely good at reading people's minds. After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and replied.
"Replying to Sect Master, the Sword Sect is like the bright moon in the sky, and the other sects are like fireflies. How can a mere firefly compete with the bright moon?"
"Therefore, even if these factions join forces and want to compete with the Sword Sect, in this little one's opinion, they are just seeking their own deaths. Sect Master only needs to lightly move his finger and you can easily crush them. Therefore, there is no need to take it to heart."
Tian Nong's answer was indeed Xiao Chen's heart, and it was indeed what Xiao Chen was thinking.
When he heard that these factions wanted to join forces to compete with the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen didn't take this matter to heart.
This was because no matter how many ants there were, they were still ants in the end. Moreover, the alliance of these sects wasn't an iron plate. Moreover, even if they really lived and died together, and advanced and retreated together, Xiao Chen didn't care because they were still no threat to the Sword Sect.
They didn't even have the right to make Xiao Chen angry. As for the Shrines, haha, Xiao Chen could only say that they thought too simply. The new Sect Master of the Shrines seemed to be called Shen Hui. Xiao Chen could guarantee that the Shrines wouldn't care about the matters of the Sword Sect, especially at a time like this. Moreover, they didn't even know Shen Hui. They only knew a Shrines' elder. To put it bluntly, could an elder make the decision?
In Xiao Chen's opinion, the alliance of these factions was simply too laughable. Therefore, after hearing Tian Nong's words, Xiao Chen's gaze also looked in the direction of the courtyard door, and he smiled faintly.
"Tell me, are these fellows trying to make me laugh to death?"
