My Master Disconnected Yet Again (Part 4)

Chapter 630: Switching to Gui Yi

"Congratulations on making it into the Tai Yan Sect, Fellow Daoist Lonemoon." Zuo Shuming was smiling at Lonemoon genuinely and admiringly. "I knew that you would get what you wanted."

Got what I freaking wanted alright – you've been let go of. What did they get themselves into this sect for then! He had ascended to immortality before after all; how could he be so lousy!

Lonemoon pursed his lips and sucked in a deep breath to keep himself from cursing at Zuo Shuming. "Zuo... Fellow Daoist Zuo! What do you plan to do from now on?"

Zuo Shuming scratched his head, looking embarrassed. "Well... To be honest, I heard that the Gui Yi Sect is recruiting in about three days at Ping Hua City. Gui Yi Sect is not as reputable as Tai Yan Sect, but it is one of the six main sects here. That's why I'm going to head over and try out over there."

So you had a back-up plan. You should have told us earlier!

"Oh? Is Gui Yi Sect that good?" Lonemoon asked.

"Of course," Zuo Shuming responded, his eyes twinkling. His voice carried some hope as he said, "The Gui Yi Sect does not have as many disciples as the Tai Yan Sect, but there are many core cultivators in the sect. There's also a ninth-grade alchemist in there. Among all the sects, Gui Yi Sect is quite well-known as well."

"A ninth-grade alchemist?" Lonemoon asked. Was Zuo Shuming a core cultivator?

"That's right." Zuo Shuming sounded more and more excited. "In Rainbow Light Realm, the only ninth-grade alchemist belongs to Gui Yi Sect. Those from other sects who want to train in pill cultivation are also forced to consult Gui Yi Sect.

"Sounds like Gui Yi Sect is not such a bad choice."

"Of course. What's more, the way the sect treats its disciples is very different. They don't focus on the spirit roots. No matter the spirit root, those who pass the test will be able to join the sect."

"That good? I think we should go as well."

"Of cour... Huh? Ah!" Zuo Shuming paused mid-sentence, staring at Lonemoon in disbelief.

"That's decided then! How do we get to Ping Hua City?"

"No... Fellow Daoist..." Didn't you just join Tai Yan Sect?

"We're going out of here for the first time, so we're not familiar with the way. Why not we go over there together?"

"That's alright, but..."

"Let's not delay any longer – we can head off now!"

"..."

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you!" He turned around and gestured to the two other people behind him. "These are my companions. This man is Yi Qing. He's a sword cultivator. This person is.... not important!"

Zuo Shuming: "..."

Shen Ying: "..." Son of a b*tch!

——————

Zuo Shuming was frankly quite confused. He could not understand why three people who had already passed the test to get into Tai Yan Sect, and who had a bright future ahead of them, would change their mind and want to join Gui Yi Sect after a conversation with him. Zuo Shuming kept trying to play back the conversation to figure out what he had said incorrectly, that caused the three of them to change their mind and choose Gui Yi Sect over Tai Yan Sect.

But no matter how much he tried to explain, the three of them seemed to have set their minds to joining Gui Yi Sect. By the time he got over his shock, they were already on the road to Ping Hua City.
