As soon as Sheng Ning finished speaking, the atmosphere around them suddenly became quiet.
It wasn't until someone in the crowd raised their hand and asked, "Excuse me, are you the Invincible Sect, the one that won first place in this year's sect competition?"
Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow and nodded, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you have a very sharp eye."
Upon seeing Sheng Ning nod, the other party's expression immediately became excited.
He took two steps forward, barely managing to suppress his excitement, but his limbs still began to dance uncontrollably.
"Can I join your sect? I don't mind that Invincible Sect is small; I'm just shameless enough to..."
Lu Qingan frowned. "This sounds really strange to me."
Even the Invincible Sect has a sense of shame, okay?
They only do unusual things when necessary.
The sect competition has always been a good opportunity for various sects to recruit students.
After all, strength is a given, and all cultivators want to go to the best and strongest sect.
Therefore, after the Invincible Sect won first place in this competition, the news spread like wildfire to every corner of the continent.
The cultivators of Youyun City never expected to encounter disciples of the Invincible Sect here.
Once it happens, it will happen again.
The cultivator who first spoke up to sign up for the Invincible Sect set a precedent, and was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd.
"I also want to sign up for the Invincible Sect. I have no other purpose than to experience what it feels like to be shameless."
"Me too! Me too! The Invincible Sect has few members. Maybe I'll become an elder someday. I want to join the Invincible Sect too!"
"Would you take in a child? My child is quite talented. Small sects are good, they don't show favoritism..."
Sheng Ning and his companions, who were suddenly surrounded by the crowd, exchanged glances.
Some people even put an infant in her arms.
Sheng Ning was both amused and exasperated. He returned the child to the family and said, "Fellow Daoists, the Invincible Sect welcomes everyone to sign up."
"However, this is not the registration period. When the Invincible Sect recruits students in the future, we will definitely inform everyone as soon as possible."
"My fellow disciples and I are still working to earn funds to expand the sect, so we'll have to trouble you all to wait a little longer."
If the Invincible Sect wants to crush the Taixu Sect, it must expand its sect.
However, the Invincible Sect's presence is still too small.
Now that the Invincible Sect's reputation has been established, they need to accelerate the development of the sect.
It is indeed not the time for sects to recruit students now.
The sect competition has just ended, and everyone needs to rest for a while.
As soon as Sheng Ning finished speaking, someone nodded in understanding.
Finally, someone in the crowd tossed a mustard seed bag into Sheng Ning's arms, "Future senior sister, catch!"
Sheng Ning glanced down at the mustard seed bag, then looked up at the young man who had thrown it away, a look of confusion on his face.
Then the other party revealed a hearty smile, "These are the spirit stones I invested in the Invincible Sect. When the Invincible Sect recruits students in the future, Senior Sister must not forget me."
Who would send money to a sect before even joining it?
Sheng Ning hadn't seen such a resentful person in a long time.
Previously, she had only encountered the scenario of research institutes attracting investors to invest money when developing new weapons.
Now she's finally managed to... secure investors?
Sheng Ning looked embarrassed and was about to say that she couldn't accept the money when she looked up and saw that the other party had already left the crowd.
They have long since disappeared into the vast sea of people.
"Does she think she's so great? One day, I'll tear her to pieces!"
Outside the crowd, the Taixu Sect disciple holding a long sword glared angrily at the Invincible Sect disciple who was surrounded by the crowd.
In the past, it was always the Taixu Sect that was surrounded by crowds offering congratulations.
Now that this scene has shifted to someone else, and to the Invincible Sect whom they despise the most, it makes him even angrier.
Elder Qian was also angry.
However, he was an elder, having lived for hundreds of years longer than the younger generation, so he was able to remain calm at this moment.
Elder Qian stroked his mustache and said in a deep voice, "It's alright, let them be smug for a few more days, they'll have their day to cry later."
Once they leave Youyun City, the disciples of the Invincible Sect will be left unprotected.
Sheng Ning blew up the gates of the Taixu Sect twice; he was determined to settle this score with them.
A venomous gaze fell upon Sheng Ning and his companions in the crowd.
While everyone's attention was still on the Invincible Sect, Elder Qian quickly led a group of disciples to escape from Youyun City.
By the time Sheng Ning and his group managed to break free from the crowd, the disciples of the Taixu Sect had already vanished without a trace.
"They ran pretty fast, though. I've never seen them run like this before," Lu Qingan sneered.
Sheng Ning was still panting.
She had just explained the time and requirements for the Invincible Sect's enrollment to the cultivators who were surrounding them for a long time before the crowd dispersed.
Her throat was dry from talking, so she pointed to the roast goose shop not far away.
"Since we're already here, shouldn't we bring some gifts back for our master?"
-
For some time, no one lived in the Invincible Sect, and the atmosphere within the sect was somewhat serene.
After settling Bai Ze in the courtyard where Shi Yueyao had previously lived, Sheng Ning picked up the roast goose and prepared to visit Mo Jingchun.
As soon as she arrived at Mo Jingchun's courtyard, she saw a bolt of lightning flash across the sky.
The lightning struck right in Mo Jingchun's courtyard.
Startled, she forgot all about the roast goose in her hand and immediately pushed open the door, calling out, "Master!"
Mo Jingchun, whose face was charred from being struck by lightning, widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Sheng Ning drop the roast goose in his hand and rush into the courtyard.
"My...roast goose..."
He followed the scent out of the room.
Unexpectedly, the consequences of him leaving the room this time were even more serious than last time.
Last time, at least he sat in the yard for a while.
He had just stepped out the door when the lightning struck him.
And his roast goose...
Sheng Ning followed his blank gaze and looked back.
Upon seeing the roast goose wrapped in oil paper fall to the ground, she quickly picked it up and brought it to him.
"It's not dirty, it's wrapped in oil paper. But Master, have you...did you do something wrong?"
Otherwise, why would someone get struck by lightning every day?
Mo Jingchun stood under the eaves, holding the roast goose that his little apprentice had brought to him tightly in his arms.
Hearing his apprentice's question, he blinked, his dog eyes glistening with tears.
He shook his head and said softly, "No."
Having learned from her previous experience, Sheng Ning didn't press the matter further.
She glanced at the roast goose he was holding tightly in his arms and said, "How about we go inside and eat, Master?"
Mo Jingchun smelled the aroma of roast goose and silently swallowed, "But my room... is a mess."
As he finished speaking, a blush of embarrassment flashed across his face.
Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Is Master's room messy?
Can anything be as chaotic as hers?
So she waved her hand and said it was no problem.
It wasn't until she followed him into the house that she realized what he meant by "chaotic" was truly chaotic...
