Chapter 117: I’m More Coquettish Than Them
Su Wen clenched his fists unconsciously.
The citizens outside the city had been abandoned? As he thought about those emaciated faces along the way, the skeletons lying by the roadside, the children who craved for food, Su Wen felt as if a fire had been lit in his heart.
Ever since he transmigrated, Su Wen had been very satisfied with his life.
The start of his life was akin to throwing out a royal flush at the start of a card game, standing at the end of a life that others could never achieve.
Power, money were all easily obtained. Even the martial arts he saw had a complete system.
What he had to do and think about was to continue the Su family’s power.
Usually, when they heard about the deaths of those at the border, the great disasters and plagues were like fairy tales to him.
It was merely a cold number.
In his opinion, which dynasty didn’t go to war? Which dynasty did not have people going hungry?
Was it a big deal?
He was already used to these things subconsciously.
At this moment, he recalled all the things that he encountered in Li Prefecture. The refugees on the edge of life and death, the idle guards, and the arrogant Ma Wu, Su Wen suddenly understood that behind those cold numbers, there were countless hidden secrets, and it was also unknown how many people were forcefully sacrificed.
He was in the flourishing capital and had seen the most beautiful side of the Great Zhou. It could even be said that in his entire life, he had never even seen a true dead person.
However, when he really left the capital city and saw those real faces, everything felt different.
It was then that he realized that the privilege of being unrestrained must have been produced through extreme corruption.
The Secret Shadow Guards had to be established!
“If everyone only cherishes their body, will there ever be a time when the world is clear? Old man, how much darkness have you seen?”
Su Wen recalled the old man who stood outside the door for an entire night in the capital.
Su Wen suddenly thought of something and said, “Didn’t His Majesty send people to Li Prefecture to send disaster relief? Don’t they have rations? Why would the disaster continue?”
Murong Yan looked at Su Wen and sighed. She said meaningfully, “This Li Prefecture is not a place where you can save people just because you have food.”
After saying this, Murong Yan looked at Ma Wu and said, “Since we’ve entered the pass, Lord Ma Wu doesn’t need to follow us anymore. This batch of provisions naturally has a place they will go to!”
Ma Wu nodded and left.
Murong Yan looked at Su Wen and smiled warmly. “Little Brother Qiang, come with me. I’ll cook for you.”
“Um… I don’t really want to go…” Su Wen replied with a smile.
“Don’t be so polite!”
“I’m not being polite. I really don’t want to go.”
Su Wen prepared to leave. He had no intention of interacting with Murong Yan anymore.
All of a sudden, Su Wen’s expression turned solemn.
A person had appeared behind him.
“Hall Master!”
Murong Yan cried out in surprise.
“Is this the new brother you’ve pulled in?” A rough male voice sounded from behind Su Wen.
Su Wen pretended to be surprised and turned around to see a muscular man standing behind him.
Earth Rank… but he should only be in the early stages!
When this man came behind him, Su Wen had already sensed it.
The him who was always guarded by powerful figures instantly determined this person’s cultivation level.
When the man saw Su Wen turn around, a smile appeared on his face and he threw a punch at Su Wen’s head!
Su Wen’s eyes widened!
However, he suppressed the urge to counter the fist with all his might.
From the moment the man made his move, Su Wen could tell that he did not exert any strength!
That’s right, it wasn’t that he didn’t use his full strength, but that he almost did not exert any strength.
Su Wen also got into his stance and met the punch head-on!
Peng!
The two fists collided and Su Wen took three steps back.
That man’s eyes also flashed with a bright light as he shouted, “Good lad, your foundation is not bad!”
After saying that, he looked at Murong Yan and said with a smile, “This kid’s foundation isn’t bad. Although he’s only at the 9th Grade Common Rank, his true qi is vigorous and hot, and he’s still young. After entering the sacred cult, he’ll definitely become a valiant general after a few years of training!”
He did not do anything and only casually tested Su Wen’s strength.
Murong Yan hurried over and said, “Little Brother Qiang, this is the Moon God Hall Master Wei Jinyong! From now on, we’re all members of the sacred cult!”
Wtf?
Su Wen really wanted to punch this woman in the face.
However, he didn’t want to go all out against this damned Wei Jinyong.
“What kind of cult is our sacred cult?” Su Wen pretended to be curious.
“The Moon Worship Sect!”
After Murong Yan’s words sounded, Su Wen was so anxious that he almost choked.
What is this? I came here to exterminate the Moon Worship Sect, and you want me to join it instead?”
If he were to meet his colleagues from the Martial Inspectorate, where should he put his face?
Tell them that he had infiltrated the enemy’s ranks in advance?
Wei Jinyong looked at Murong Yan and said with a smile, “We heard that the Royal Court sent out the Martial Inspectorate to target the martial sects in the Li Prefecture. I was afraid something would happen to you, so I came to pick you up in advance! Let’s quickly leave the city, this isn’t the place to talk!”
As he spoke, he led Murong Yan and Su Wen through another city gate.
On the way, Murong Yan rambled on about the benefits of the Moon Worship Sect to Su Wen. “Little Brother Qiang, let me tell you, our sect master is already a 7th Grade Earth Rank expert. He’s only forty-five years old this year and is in his prime. If he can break through to the Heaven Rank in a few years, our Moon Worship Sect will be incredible in this Li Prefecture!”
“Little Brother Qiang, after joining our Moon Worship Sect, no matter if you want to become a powerhouse or earn money, it will be easy. Let’s not talk about anything else, but our Sect only needs to bring in a martial artist above the 5th Grade and have him pay an application fee. The more you pay, the more money you’ll get back.
Moreover, the higher the cultivation of the person being brought in, the higher the sum you’ll obtain in return. Didn’t you give me 300 taels of silver? That’s your fee. When we get back, I should be able to get 150 taels, and then I’ll return you 30 taels first.
Think about it, although you’ve paid an extra 270 taels, as long as you pull in a few people, not only will you be able to return the capital, but you’ll also be able to earn money. The more people you pull in, the more money you’ll be able to earn!”
“If you pull in more than 10 people, then you’ll be able to choose a secret skill within the sect! If you pull in more than 30, then you can choose a second secret skill. How good is this compared to the other sects!”
The more Su Wen listened, the more he found it familiar!
Wasn’t this f*cking multi-level marketing?
This transmigrator protagonist is being forcibly dragged into a pyramid scheme?
Serves you right for being targets to be annihilated!
Seeing that Su Wen didn’t seem to be moved, Murong Yan continued, “Think about it. Although you have a 9th Grade cultivation, what advantage do you have when compared to those young heroes of the martial world? Their cultivation levels are above yours, they are better looking than you, and they are richer than you.
If you travel the martial world like this, can you make a name for yourself? After entering our Moon Worship Sect, you should save up some money and learn one or two absolute arts from our sect. After a few years, it won’t be too late to go out and adventure!”
She began to brainwash Su Wen.
Su Wen looked at him and chuckled before confidently saying, “I’m more coquettish than them!”
Murong Yan : “…”
What kind of term was this?
Murong Yan had never heard a man talk about himself like this before. For a moment, she was speechless.
Wei Jinyong smiled and said, “It’s alright, we’re all from the same family now. Once we return, we’ll let you take a look at the benefits of the sect. I believe you’ll see the benefits of joining then!”
Su Wen’s expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice, “What are you talking about, Hall Master Wei? I’ve long fallen in love with the Moon Worship Sect. The reason why I came to the Zhi Province this time is to join the sacred cult. From now on, I’ll be a member of the sacred cult in life and in death. Even if I go to the eighteenth level of hell, I’ll still be a ghost of the sacred cult!”
