"I want to focus purely on martial arts."
After saying this, Lou Cheng felt as if the dust in his heart had been swept away. Those social interactions, quarrels, trifles, and turbulent undercurrents were all not what he wanted.
Being sincere to martial arts, to the people he loved, even if it was just holding textbooks and discussing topics, was much better than fighting for power!
At the same time, he felt Mo Jingting's tense body soften. She smiled with a delicate voice and said, "Martial Granduncle, what you said just now was wrong. Nowadays, professionalism is very important. There are professional managers and talented disciples in the company watching over them. The Sect Leader is just a general manager and a supervisor. How can he be so busy? He's also very free and leisurely! "
Uh, what does she mean? Which side is Mo Jingting on? What is she thinking? Or is she just saying it casually to diffuse the awkwardness … Lou Cheng was stunned. He was puzzled by the words of the Sect Leader's Martial Niece.
Compared to her, his social experience was indeed too shallow.
"You little girl, you can't even hear a word of truth from your mouth. How many companies have the Sect developed until now? How many industries are involved? Just the supervision alone is enough to give me a headache. Besides, this is not the only thing. Within the Sect, within the Alliance, and in the Jianghu, there are many traps that need to be kept alert. "Geezer Shi snorted. He looked as if he had eaten more salt than she had eaten rice.
"These can also be assisted by people who are good at them. The Sect Leader is very leisurely. He only needs three to four hours of work every day." Mo Jingting answered with a smile.
Geezer Shi ignored her and turned to look at his silly disciple.
"Don't rush to answer. Think carefully. Don't worry about external factors. If you're afraid of these little things, how can you survive in the Jianghu in the future?"
"Don't think about other things. Just ask yourself what you really want. Someone once said that once you've tasted power, it's like being addicted to drugs. Don't make a decision blindly because you haven't experienced it."
He said it casually, but the meaning behind his words made Mo Jingting stunned. She unconsciously frowned.
Is this the spirit of a Mighty One with physical invulnerability?
Don't worry about external factors. With me here, it's not a problem?
"Yes, Master." Lou Cheng closed his eyes, reminiscing about the past, imagining some scenes he had seen on TV and heard from others.
Geezer Shi chuckled and said, "I won't say more about the benefits of being in charge of a sect. But if you choose to be an idle person, you won't have to stick to the Wuyue Club if you really have the chance to participate in the top professional competitions in the future."
"Ah? How can I not participate in the Wuyue Club? "Lou Cheng opened his eyes in surprise.
Once he knew about the situation of the sect, he believed that joining the Wuyue Club would be a sure thing after he reached the High Pin or even the Physical Invulnerability Stage!
How could he betray the sect?
Geezer Shi clicked his tongue and said, "The Wuyue Club is just an alliance, not a sect. We've done our duty by ensuring that there is one Physical Invulnerability Expert representing the Wuyue Club in the top professional competitions. Other powers are willing to recruit Guest Elders. You don't teach your martial arts to outsiders, don't hold authority, and don't do things that are detrimental to the foundation of the Wuyue Club. Joining them is not a betrayal. There are precedents.
"However, sects like Daxing Temple and Shangqing Sect almost never invite Guest Elders. Like Yanzhao League and Longhu Club, there is no lack of foreign Mighty Ones. Heh, you can also marry into Shushan Study. I don't mind."
Marry into? Lou Cheng wiped the cold sweat in his heart. He wanted to roll his eyes at his Master.
Marry into Shushan Study? Mo Jingting's plump lips were half opened. She took a deep breath thoughtfully.
At this point, Geezer Shi sighed.
"Shangqing, Shushan, and Longhu Club are in charge of the Restriction Sect of Taoism. I've been eyeing it for many years. Sigh …"
The Restriction Sect, the head of the Five Sects Unique Arts of Taoism, is in the hands of Shangqing Sect, Shushan Study, and Longhu Club? Lou Cheng had never heard of such a secret before. He blurted out, "I thought part of it would be in the hands of the government …"
No wonder these three sects, regardless of their ups and downs, were always in the top six of the top forces.
Geezer Shi looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. "Longhu Club has caught up with the sects with a long history in more than 30 years. Who do you think is behind them?"
"Oh, I see!" Lou Cheng didn't care about his Master's look at all.
He took out his phone and shared the news with Ke out of habit.
"I know … My grandpa and grandma have experienced it … The one in Shushan Study's hands is called the Tai Qing Chapter …" Yan Zheke sent a blank emoji and shared the secret with her boyfriend. "I just found out about Longhu Club. Sigh, I'm so ignorant … It's all my grandpa's fault. They rarely talk about this!"
"Same! My Master looked at me like I was an idiot just now … "Lou Cheng complained to his girlfriend.
"You are an idiot ~ Idiot Cheng ~! You don't even know you're being flirted with ~! "Yan Zheke snorted.
"It means I'm simple and honest. I only have my little fairy in my heart." Lou Cheng said affectionately.
After the conversation just now, Mo Jingting became silent and focused on driving.
It was not until they got out of the ring road and turned into the winding mountain road that she regained her cheerfulness. She introduced with a smile, "Junior Uncle, nominally, the sect is still halfway up Mount Yanbing, but people rarely come back. There are hardly many people here unless there is a formal ceremony. However, it's very nice to come here for a holiday. It's especially good to avoid the heat in summer!"
"Why?" Lou Cheng asked in confusion.
Geezer Shi said impatiently, "Today is different from the past. A sect gathering in the wilderness, are they waiting to be bombed by missiles? Are they waiting to be wiped out? "
Mo Jingting laughed and added, "The sect has an 'Ice God Building' in the busiest business district in Moshang. All the daily affairs are done there. Normally, everyone lives in their own places. Only the junior brothers and sisters who haven't finished their apprenticeship are arranged together. Haha, every year, they are locked up here to practice martial arts for a period of time …"
Moshang was the provincial capital of Wuyue.
While listening to the introduction, Lou Cheng was also reading the information provided by his little fairy, such as the famous disciples and their respective masters.
When they were halfway up the mountain, he had a preliminary but relatively complete understanding of the Ice God Sect.
He Yi, Shen Guitian, and his master, who was not well-known, were the previous generation's three Physical Invulnerability Elders. There were still a few Dan Stage experts of the same generation, but their physical condition was much worse. There was no need for them to not fight.
In his generation, there was Senior Sister Yuejian, a Physical Invulnerability expert. There were also four high-ranked Dan stage Senior Brothers and Sisters who were in charge of different affairs in the sect, assisting the Sect Leader. There were also a dozen Dan stage peers who were basically managing the sect's businesses.
In the next generation, the oldest was only in his thirties. Including Zhu Tai, there were two high-ranked ones and ten low-ranked ones. Some entered the Wuyue Club to train with the Physical Invulnerability Mighty Ones, and some participated in professional competitions at other levels.
One of the Wuyue Club's sects had more than 30 Dan Stage experts, which showed how terrifying the top forces were. The Shangqing Sect alone probably had more Dan Stage experts than the whole Xing Province.
In the next generation, there were not many disciples, and most of them were underage.
"We're here," Mo Jingting announced in a light tone and parked the car outside the mountain gate.
The nearby pine forest was like a sea, and the sound of waves brought a refreshing feeling in the hot summer. The mountain gate was carved out of a huge stone, ancient and simple, with the words "Ice God Sect" written on it.
"Let's go meet your Sect Leader Uncle first. You'll officially become his disciple tomorrow." Geezer Shi got out of the car leisurely.
"Okay." Lou Cheng followed obediently.
Mo Jingting unbuckled her seatbelt, leaned over to the window, and said with a smile,
"Junior Uncle, let's add each other on WeChat. We'll be fellow disciples in the future. My poor Junior Nephew will have to rely on you to take care of him!"
"I don't use WeChat." Lou Cheng declined politely.
He had applied for WeChat, but no one around him used it, so he was too lazy to do it himself.
"Okay." Mo Jingting curled her lips and showed an aggrieved expression. She sat up straight and drove the car to the parking place.
Geezer Shi stood beside them and quietly watched their conversation. Then, he clicked his tongue and said, "This girl is so cunning. When she was still in the sect, she made a bunch of senior brothers fall head over heels in love with her. Heh, in the end, none of them even touched her hand."
"Master, it's not good for you to say that." Lou Cheng's mouth twitched.
You're an elder. How can you say that behind my back?
"What's not good about it? If they can do it, I can say it! " Geezer Shi chuckled. "This girl has been in the entertainment industry for a few years now. She's getting more and more capable. Don't be fooled."
"Master, don't worry. I'm not that kind of person." Lou Cheng replied calmly.
I only like girls like little fairies!
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly received a message from an unknown number.
"Young Martial Uncle, this is my phone number. Take care of me in the future. Your cute and pretty Martial Nephew: -D."
Lou Cheng shook his head. He only felt that this guy was a little annoying, so he casually saved the name Martial Nephew Mo.
Geezer Shi didn't say anything else. He led Lou Cheng through the halls and rooms, past the patrolling disciples, and arrived at the place where the plaque "Ice Queen Pavilion" was hung.
"Have you thought about what happened before?" Geezer Shi stopped here and asked again. He didn't hide his voice.
"Master, my answer is still the same. I want to focus on martial arts!" Lou Cheng answered seriously.
With strength, there would naturally be corresponding benefits. There was no need to scheme and fight for power!
Wouldn't it be better to live a simple and leisurely life?
"Okay, let's go in." Geezer Shi led his disciple, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Inside, an old man with sparse white hair was standing behind the desk. His cheeks were sagging, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deep. At this moment, he smiled and greeted them. "Jianguo, is this Lou Cheng?"
Jianguo?
Shi Jianguo?
This is Master's name?
Lou Cheng suddenly felt like laughing. Considering Master's age, this name is really unique!
It just lacks the feeling of a master of a generation!
Hmm? The master of a generation, Shi Jianguo?
Geezer Shi glared at his disciple. "Yes, Senior Brother Sect Leader, this is my useless disciple!"
