238: Two women meet

Upon hearing this, Mu Chun was somewhat displeased and said in a deep voice, "Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, how can you go back on your word? Are you changing the conditions you offered?"

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall snorted coldly, "What your Righteous Path Alliance can offer, our Human Emperor Hall can offer just the same. Mu Chun, it's not that simple to snatch people from us!"

Seeing that the two were starting to get heated, Lu Xingchen spoke up, "Two Seniors, there's no need to argue anymore. I will not join the Human Emperor Hall, nor will I join the Righteous Path Alliance."

Upon hearing this, both of them were slightly stunned.

They believed that the conditions they offered were hard for any ordinary youth to refuse, but they hadn't expected Lu Xingchen to actually refuse.

Mu Chun said in a deep voice, "War God His Excellency, what is the meaning of this?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Have the two of you forgotten how I earned the title of War God? Only through continuous combat can I grow stronger. If I were to join either of your organizations and be protected by Human Race Experts, I would lose the opportunity to fight, and my Cultivation speed would drastically decrease."

"Therefore, I will not join any organization, but will instead wander the Tianyuan Continent alone."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chun nodded slightly, "War God His Excellency is right. With your Physique, it is indeed not suitable for secluded bitter Cultivation. Wandering the Tianyuan Continent is the fastest way to improve!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Since that's the case, the two of you don't need to argue anymore. I should return to Cangxuan Sect."

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall stared blankly at Lu Xingchen, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He hadn't expected that someone could actually resist the temptation of a vice hall master from the Human Emperor Hall.

As expected of the Human Race War God, such a spirit is truly rare in the world!

Lu Xingchen continued, "It's easy to continue wandering the Tianyuan Continent; I'll just use a different identity. However, Senior Mu Chun, could you allow me to have my name registered with the Righteous Path Alliance, publicly announcing that I've entered the Righteous Path Alliance for Cultivation? This would help avoid many malicious intentions from petty individuals."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chun was overjoyed.

Hadn't his painstaking efforts to recruit Lu Xingchen been precisely to have him register his name with the Righteous Path Alliance?

Now, he wouldn't have to provide Cultivation resources and could still gain the War God's influence—killing two birds with one stone!

Mu Chun said with a smile, "Of course, no problem. I will spread this news as soon as I return."

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, however, frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "War God His Excellency, actually, for matters like registering a name, our Human Emperor Hall can also assist."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Thank you for Senior Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall's kindness. However, Miss Wanqing and I are Dao Companions, and since she is currently Cultivating in the Righteous Path Alliance, I would prefer to have my name registered there as well."

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall smiled bitterly, "Alas, our Human Emperor Hall is truly one step behind, always behind. Since War God His Excellency has made up his mind, I won't try to persuade him further."

"However, you must accept this token. It represents the status of an Human Emperor Hall devotee, and you might need it in the future. If you crush this token, I will sense it and will definitely come to your aid, no matter where you are in the Tianyuan Continent."

With that, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall handed a token to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen didn't decline and accepted the token directly.

The opportunity for a Martial Saint Expert to act was quite precious; there was no reason to refuse it.

Mu Chun also handed a token to Lu Xingchen, saying with a smile, "If War God His Excellency encounters any difficulties in the future, crush this token, and I, Mu Chun, will also rush to your aid."

Lu Xingchen took the token, cupped his hands in greeting to the two, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your generosity, two Seniors!"

Mu Chun said with a smile, "This is what you deserve. After all, if you hadn't turned the tide this time, the Demon-Rejecting Pass would have already been breached."

Xu Chengyang waved his hand, "Alright, since War God His Excellency's affiliation has been determined, let's disperse!"

The many Human Race bigwigs left one by one until only Lu Xingchen and Lin Wanqing remained in the room.

Lin Wanqing clapped her hands and laughed, "Big Strong One, you're something else! The two major superpowers of the Human Race were vying to recruit you, and you rejected them both."

Lu Xingchen smiled bitterly, "What could I do? I've already explained that my Physique is special; I can't undergo bitter Cultivation and can only wander outside."

Lin Wanqing chuckled, "Then you'd better work hard and not let me surpass you."

Lu Xingchen could only smile bitterly again, "Your Cultivation speed is simply too fast! You've already entered the Martial Venerable Realm so quickly. I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch up to you."

Lin Wanqing said with a smile, "The Power of Kindling Fire has been nourishing my body and perfecting my Physique, so my Cultivation speed will only get faster and faster. Coupled with the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Art that Uncle Ning gave me, this speed is normal."

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "As expected of the Human Race Kindling; I'm so envious!"

Lin Wanqing chuckled, "By the way, you said before that after this war ends, you'd take me home. Does that still count?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled awkwardly, "Of course it counts. However, Miss Wanqing, would you mind if I brought one more person?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Oh? I also want to see what kind of peerless beauty Yun Li, who has captivated our Big Strong One, truly is."

Lu Xingchen smiled bitterly, "Miss Wanqing, please don't tease me. I truly was in the wrong regarding this matter."

Lin Wanqing chuckled, "I didn't say no. Hurry up, take me to see that Yun Li."

The two left the meeting hall and walked towards the living quarters of the Cangxuan Sect members.

Mu Chun also followed closely behind them.

He was Lin Wanqing's Dao Protector, and protecting her safety was his top priority.

As they walked, Mu Chun also marveled inwardly.

Lu Xingchen was also a formidable person; he had already formed a Dao Companion relationship with Her Excellency Xin Huo, yet he had still attracted other girls.

If this matter were to spread, who knows what a stir it would cause.

Half an hour later, Lu Xingchen knocked on Yun Li's door.

Opening the door and seeing Lin Wanqing's face for the first time, Yun Li immediately guessed her identity and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Her Excellency Xin Huo!"

Lin Wanqing quickly helped her up and said with a smile, "Miss Yun Li, there's no need for such formality. By age, you're even my elder sister!"

Yun Li was slightly stunned, not expecting Lin Wanqing to be so easygoing, and said softly, "Sister Wanqing, I'm sorry."

Lin Wanqing chuckled, "I don't blame you. Who can resist our Big Strong One's charm? If anyone's to blame, it's this philanderer!"

Yun Li nodded heavily and stepped on Lu Xingchen's foot.

"That's right, Lu Xingchen, it's all your fault!"

Lu Xingchen could only smile bitterly from the side, not daring to speak.

Lin Wanqing said softly, "Sister Yun Li, sleep with me tonight and tell me the stories of you and Big Strong One over the years."

Yun Li nodded slightly, "Okay."

Lu Xingchen whispered, "You two, pay attention to the time. We have to set off for Cangxuan Sect tomorrow."

"None of your business!" the two women said in unison.

Then they linked arms and left, leaving Lu Xingchen standing there.
