Fairy, you call this repaying a debt of gratitude?

Chapter 105 Distinguished Guest

After sitting quietly for a long time, Shen Wei thought it over and over and decided that he might have to go back to the Jade Balance Sect.

To compete in the Immortal Alliance Conference and seize the Nine Dragon Soul Bone that could resolve the hidden danger, he must abide by the rules and become a registered disciple of the five major immortal sects.

Now, after much thought, becoming a disciple of the Jade Balance Sect is a good choice, after all, Chu Qianqiu had tried to win him over on several occasions before.

Having figured it out, Shen Wei didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately got up and headed towards the Jade Balance Sect.

In just one day, Shen Wei returned to the territory of the Jade Balance Sect.

However, this time coming back was not as easy as before.

Last time he entered, he was personally received by Chu Qianqiu, but this time he was stopped at the mountain gate by the disciples on duty.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Shen Wei calmly cupped his hands and said, "Please inform them that I wish to see Sect Leader Chu. Please allow me to pass."

The disciple had a snobbish look on his face. He looked Shen Wei, who was dressed in a plain white brocade robe and had a noble demeanor, up and down. He assumed that Shen Wei was just a spoiled brat from an ordinary noble family who was trying to climb the social ladder by relying on his high status in the secular world.

He had seen many such overconfident people during his years guarding the mountain gate.

However, this was the first time he had ever met someone who wanted to see the sect leader right away.

"What do you take my Jade Balance Sect for? Do you think some insignificant cat or dog dares to dream of seeing the Sect Master?"

Shen Wei was already getting impatient upon hearing this.

"I have urgent business to discuss with you."

"What important matter could it be? You must be making this up. Don't think that just because you come from a prominent family, you can set foot in my Jade Balance Sect at will. We are a celestial sect, not a place where a young master from a noble family like you can overstep your bounds."

Seeing this, Shen Wei didn't want to waste any more words. With a thought, he instantly revealed the pressure of his Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

The disciple, who was only at the Core Formation stage, was instantly terrified, his face turning deathly pale, and he almost lost his footing.

He had a bad feeling. The person in front of him was quite strong. It seemed that he had offended someone he shouldn't have. What should he do now?

Just then, three white figures flew in from outside the sect and stood behind Wan Yi.

All three were dressed in the white brocade robes of the Jade Balance Sect, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

However, the leading disciple, with his slender build, striking features, and distinguished air, fixed his gaze on the pale and disheveled Wan Yi, asking in bewilderment, "Wan Yi, what happened?"

Upon seeing his fellow disciples arrive, Wan Yi grasped at a straw and rushed forward, crying, "Senior Brother Huo! This person's identity is unclear, yet he insisted on forcibly breaking into our sect's gate. I tried to stop him according to the rules, but he bullied me because of his cultivation level!"

"Is that so?"

His gaze fell on Shen Wei, and his expression darkened.

"Isn't your behavior a bit too much of a bullying tactic and unfair?"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be someone who could communicate, Shen Wei slowly withdrew his aura and prepared to explain to the other party.

"Fellow Daoist, I have no intention of forcibly entering the mountain gate. I have come here only to meet Sect Master Chu."

"reason?"

"I heard that the top prize in the Immortal Alliance Conference is very generous, so I thought I'd give it a try. However, to participate in the Immortal Alliance Conference, one must be a registered disciple of one of the five major immortal sects. I remember that Sect Master Chu had tried to recruit me several times before, and that's why I've come here today."

Shen Wei answered truthfully, but the two disciples beside Huo Jichuan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, the top spot in the Immortal Alliance Tournament? This person must be dreaming!"

"Haha, Sect Master Chu is trying to win him over? I've never heard of such a thing before."

The three had just returned from a mission. They were not present when Chu Qianqiu led him and Ye Qingci past the sect earlier.

Upon hearing this, Huo Jichuan frowned, rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice, "He's spouting nonsense. This man must be insane. Take him down."

Upon hearing this, the two disciples behind him instantly stopped smiling, drew their swords, and rushed towards Shen Wei.

Shen Wei sighed softly. Was he really going to have to draw his sword and fight after all?

Shen Ying drew his sword, facing the two people who were flying towards him with swords drawn.

In an instant, the sword light ripped through the sky. With just a simple sweep of the sword, the two disciples immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to get up again.

However, Shen Wei had a trick up his sleeve and did not harm the two of them.

"He's quite the madman."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Jichuan flashed forward and personally stepped forward with his sword.

As a direct disciple of the Jade Balance Sect, his cultivation has reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage. He is well-versed in the sect's core sword techniques, and his Seven Star Hengtian Sword is exquisite in its moves, combining offense and defense. He has already mastered some of its essence, and his strength far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators of the same generation.

Although the opponent was very strong, that was only in terms of others, so Shen Wei did not plan to use the power of the Evil Dragon Fiend. After all, the opponent was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm and was not his opponent.

Swords flashed and winds howled as the two fought for several rounds, and the difference in skill became clear.

Just as Shen Wei was about to use this final sword strike to defeat Huo Jichuan, a clear and cold voice fell from mid-air.

"Stop! What nonsense are you spouting here?"

Both of them looked up, and Shen Wei saw that the person speaking was Chu Yaoxi, whom he had met before.

The moment he saw her, Shen Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief; at least he wouldn't have to fight his way to Chu Qianqiu.

Chu Yaoxi also saw Shen Wei from afar.

Why is it him? Why did he suddenly return to the Jade Balance Sect and fight with Huo Jichuan and others at the mountain gate?

With deep questions in her mind, Chu Yaoxi approached Shen Wei.

"Miss Chu."

Knowing that he would be staying at the Jade Balance Sect for some time this time, Shen Wei was not as indifferent as last time, and his attitude became gentle and polite.

"Why is it you?"

Chu Yaoxi's gaze was deep as she swept over the scene before her.

On one side was Shen Wei, calm and composed, while on the other side was Huo Jichuan, whose breathing was disordered and whose chest was heaving. He was somewhat shocked.

I never expected this person to be so strong.

"Young Master, do you know this person?" Huo Jichuan asked in a low voice, looking surprised.

"Yes, he is a distinguished guest of my mother's. However, I thought that because I did not entertain him well last time, he would never return to my Yuheng Sect."

"That's not true."

Upon hearing that it was the sect leader's distinguished guest, the four were all taken aback. They hadn't expected that what Shen Wei had said earlier wasn't just nonsense, but the truth!

"Tell me, what caused your fight?"

Chu Yaoxi's eyes were cold as she turned to look at Huo Jichuan and the others, her tone carrying a questioning tone.

Looking at him like that, Huo Jichuan felt the pressure increase, but he still answered truthfully: "Young Master, when I returned to the mountain gate after completing my mission, I noticed some unusual activity. Out of a sense of responsibility, I came to check. I heard from Wan Yi that this person was trying to force his way into the mountain gate and could not give a reasonable explanation, so I had no choice but to stop him."

Huo Jichuan tried to comfort himself, but Chu Yaoxi's expression didn't change much after listening. Then she asked Shen Wei, and finally learned the whole story.

"You three, you'll be fined a year's salary and confined for three months." She pointed to the three people behind Huo Jichuan.

"You too, you're fined a year's salary and confined for three months. Besides, as a direct disciple of the Jade Balance Sect, you not only failed to manage your subordinates, but you're also less skilled than others. Come back to the inner sect with me and reflect on your actions."

Huo Jichuan's face was gloomy, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he could only accept the punishment with his hands clasped.

"Disciple—yes."

Shen Wei watched quietly from the side, silently commenting in his heart that she was indeed a decisive and efficient person in the sect.

Not wanting to make enemies so soon after arriving, Shen Wei thought for a moment and then advised, "There's no need to be so harsh. It's my fault for not explaining things clearly beforehand and for not stating my purpose in advance, which is understandable."

Chu Yaoxi, however, was unmoved and gave Shen Wei a cold glance: "You're not a member of my Jade Balance Sect. It's none of your business to deal with my disciples."

"Very well, you are the young master of the sect, so do as you see fit."

Shen Wei spread his hands at the four people, indicating that he was powerless to help.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go to the Hall of Enforcement to receive your punishment."

"We obey!"

After the four finished speaking, they dared not linger for even a moment and bowed as they withdrew.
