Mu Chen walked to stand before Jun Xie, and looked at the unusually calm kid, his face that had been tense finally broke into a smile.
"What's your name?"
"Jun Xie." Jun Xie replied, neither haughty nor humble.
The youths who were waiting to watch a good show suddenly felt that something was amiss. Why was the Elder of the Qing Yun Clan being so gentle? Shouldn't he have thrown Jun Xie off the mountain?
"Are you willing to join the Cloud Treading Peak?" Mu Chen asked gently.
Jun Xie's heart jumped, but she did not show it on her face.
Mu Chen's words caused an uproar. The youths who had wanted to see Jun Xie thrown off the mountain could only stare at Jun Xie, dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Shouldn't the little brat who had offended the Qing Yun Clan be kicked off the mountain? Why had he suddenly caught the eye of an Elder of the Cloud Treading Peak?
If he was accepted into the Cloud Treading Peak, he would be officially recognized as an Inner House disciple of the Qing Yun Clan!
No one would have thought that such good fortune would befall such an insignificant little brat!
All they needed was for Jun Xie to agree, and he would be accepted as a disciple of the Cloud Treading Peak, and officially recognized as an Inner House disciple of the Qing Yun Clan!
This was the kind of good fortune that many dreamed of, and many of the youths were gnashing their teeth in jealousy.
Just as Jun Wu Xie was about to reply, another voice suddenly rang out!
"Elder Mu, please wait." A low and shrill voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Ke Cang Ju was walking towards Mu Chen like a dark cloud, his hideous face expressionless.
Mu Chen frowned, his dislike for Ke Cang Ju.
"What is it, Elder Ke?"
Ke Cang Ju asked slowly, his slightly hunched back giving off an eerie vibe. His clothes were adorned with old copper bells, and the bells clanged against the ground as he walked.
"These two brats, I want them." Ke Cang Ju raised his hand, and pointed a bony finger at Jun Xie and the stunned Qiao Chu.
Mu Chen's face darkened.
"What does Elder Ke mean by this? I have already declared that Jun Xie is to be accepted into the Cloud Treading Peak. If Elder Ke lacks disciples, you can look for more! "
Ke Cang Ju snorted sarcastically. "Elder Mu, are you trying to make things difficult for me? I must have these two brats today! If Elder Mu has any objections, you can bring it up with the Sovereign. If the Sovereign agrees, I will hand over this kid named Jun Xie to you. If he does not agree, it would be best if Elder Mu did not say anything. "
Mu Chen's hands were tightly clenched within his sleeves as he glared at Ke Cang Ju. Everyone knew that he was on extremely bad terms with Qin Yue. The Cloud Treading Peak had always been the poorest in terms of resources and Ke Cang Ju had always been the one with the most advantages, and was the closest to Qin Yue. If he really went to ask Qin Yue for his opinion, he was afraid that Qin Yue would only say that he didn't agree!
This guy was obviously trying to rob them!
The two Elders of the Qing Yun Clan quarreled in front of the crowd, and that made the youths who were already extremely jealous of Jun Xie hate him even more.
One elder was not enough! Yet another Elder popped out to snatch him away!
How capable did this kid have to be, to be able to win the favour of two Elders of the Qing Yun Clan so easily!?
Little did they know, that Jun Xie, who was the target of everyone's jealousy, was not feeling the slightest bit of joy. She was frowning as she stared at Ke Cang Ju, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She had not expected that Ke Cang Ju would step out to snatch Jun Xie away from Mu Chen.
