Chu Mu spent a day digesting what he had learned from the Small Sword Pagoda challenge. Although his cultivation did not improve and his swordsmanship attainments were not profound, he made a breakthrough in his practical application and became more fluent.
Moreover, in the face of a continuous stream of strong opponents, he continued to use the Phantom Steps in actual combat. After a day of consolidation, Chu Mu could already display eight phantoms.
At the same time, Chu Mu's name swept through the entire Outer Palace like a storm. In the Outer Palace, apart from those who were in seclusion, everyone else had heard of this name and had a deep impression of it.
To be able to obtain 65th place in his first challenge of the Small Sword Pagoda challenge and leave his name on the Metal Sword Leaderboard, who could enjoy such an honor?
"In the past hundred years of our Great Kun Sword Mansion, there has never been a case of someone entering the top hundred and leaving his name on the Metal Sword Leaderboard. Even a hundred years ago, such a situation rarely occurred. This new student called Chu Mu is not bad, not bad at all. Continue to observe him. " In a unique sword tower in the Outer Palace, a dignified middle-aged man spoke slowly. His tone carried some importance and admiration.
"Yes, Palace Master." Standing below was a red-robed man. It was the red-robed deacon who had previously presided over the Small Sword Pagoda ranking battle.
…
"Senior Brother Chu, there are people outside who wish to see you." Shen Tao stood outside Chu Mu's room and spoke softly. He and Zhou Yi had become Chu Mu's sword attendants.
"Who is it?" Chu Mu's voice came from inside the room.
"It's Senior Brother Lian Qingyun and the others," Shen Tao said.
"Oh, let them in," Chu Mu said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." Shen Tao immediately went downstairs while Chu Mu opened the door and walked out.
Zhang Qingwei wasn't here. Chu Mu had instantly obtained 65th place, causing Zhang Qingwei to be extremely alarmed and inwardly rejoice. Thankfully, there wasn't any deep enmity between him and Chu Mu. It was merely a conflict that could be resolved.
Not long after, Shen Tao went upstairs with three people following behind him: Lian Qingyun, Nangong Haoyang, and Shen Rao.
The seductive Shen Rao's beautiful eyes fell directly on Chu Mu's body. She was three parts curious and three parts seductive. It was as if she wanted to see through Chu Mu. Normally, when faced with her gaze, even if they didn't blush, they would feel a little uncomfortable. However, Chu Mu's face was indifferent, as if he didn't feel anything at all. Even the look in his eyes didn't change at all. This made Shen Rao feel frustrated and at the same time, aroused her desire.
"Why are the three of you looking for me?" Chu Mu glanced at them, nodded, and said lightly.
"Junior Brother, do you know that the outside world has become very lively because of you? Everyone is talking about you, Junior Brother." Lian Qing Yun said. There was a bit of emotion in his voice, as well as a bit of envy that even he himself could not detect.
"It's just a temporary limelight." Before Chu Mu could answer, Nangong Haoyang said.
"You're right." Chu Mu nodded and didn't refute. Other than the burden and trouble of having a false reputation, there were no other benefits.
Shen Rao didn't say anything. She just stared at Chu Mu. Her beautiful eyes moved around as if she was competing with Chu Mu.
"Junior Brother, we came to find you because we have something important to discuss." Lian Qing Yun opened his mouth and went straight to the point. "I believe that by now, Junior Brother should have some understanding of how low the status of the new students is in the Great Kun Sword Mansion. There will be old students who will casually bully us. Of course, since Junior Brother has left his name on the Metal Sword List, there won't be any old students who are blind enough to provoke Junior Brother. "
Chu Mu nodded. He could vaguely guess the purpose of Lian Qing Yun and the other two's visit.
"However, other than Junior Brother, the new students who enter the Great Kun Sword Mansion are not as strong as the old students. They are simply no match for the old students." Lian Qing Yun continued in an impassioned tone. "As a member of the new students, we share a common enemy. I will definitely not allow the new students to continue being bullied. Therefore, we new students must unite and stick together. Only in this way can we resist the old students and not be at a disadvantage. "
"Brother Qing Yun is right." Nangong Haoyang said. He looked at Chu Mu and said, "Chu Mu, we new students have formed an alliance called the Qingyun Alliance. Brother Qing Yun will be the leader of the alliance. Our goal is to invite you to join the Qingyun Alliance. I believe that you won't refuse and can't refuse."
"Junior Brother, although I'm now the Alliance Leader of the Qingyun Alliance, the Alliance Leader should be someone who is stronger and more prestigious. With Junior Brother's strength and prestige, you're more suitable to be the Alliance Leader than me." Lian Qing Yun hurriedly said with a sincere face. "As a new student, unity is necessary. Junior Brother, as long as you agree, you will immediately become the leader of the Qingyun Alliance."
Nangong Haoyang and Shen Rao stared at Chu Mu, waiting for Chu Mu's reply.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Brother. However, Senior Brother is more suitable to be the leader than me." Chu Mu said.
Lian Qing Yun's eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction. Although he said that he would give the position of the leader to Chu Mu, the entire Qingyun Alliance was built by him. How could he be willing to give up the position of the leader?
"If that's the case, then Junior Brother will be the deputy leader." Lian Qing Yun smiled.
Nangong Haoyang snorted. He was also the deputy leader.
"I have no intention of joining the Qingyun Alliance." Chu Mu said faintly. Lian Qing Yun and the other two's expressions changed slightly.
"Junior Brother, what do you mean?" Lian Qing Yun's tone was slightly stiff.
"I have no intention of participating in the confrontation between the new and old students." Chu Mu said neither slowly nor quickly, "I was bullied because my skills were not as good as others. Only when I am strong enough can I face everything. Instead of spending my time on how to fight, I would rather invest my time in endless cultivation to improve my cultivation and strength. "
"Chu Mu, are you really not going to give us any face?" Nangong Haoyang's face darkened as he snorted coldly.
"My heart is like my sword." Chu Mu glanced at Nangong Haoyang and replied faintly.
"You …" Nangong Haoyang slammed the table and stood up abruptly. The fiery aura around him fluctuated continuously as he glared at Chu Mu.
"Enough." Lian Qing Yun pressed on Nangong Haoyang's shoulder and looked at Chu Mu. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Since Junior Brother is unwilling to join the Qingyun Alliance, we will not force you. I believe that with Junior Brother's strength, the old students will not dare to provoke you. However, I have a request. If the Qingyun Alliance needs Junior Brother's help, I hope Junior Brother can lend a hand. I will not let Junior Brother's help in vain. "
"Okay." Chu Mu did not refuse. Since Lian Qing Yun had already said so, if he still refused, it would be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of Lian Qing Yun. This would be unnecessary trouble for Chu Mu.
"Since that is the case, we will take our leave first." Lian Qing Yun said.
Before leaving, Shen Rao turned around and looked at Chu Mu. There was a strange light in her beautiful eyes as if she wanted to imprint Chu Mu deeply in her mind. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
