571 Follow My Lead


    Zhu Asi’s sudden arrival stunned everyone.


    Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes.


    “Zhu Asi?”


    He rubbed his eyes to prevent himself from seeing things.


    Zhu Asi nced over and said indifferently, “You’re not seeing things. It’s me.”


    Jiang Ming gulped. He wanted to say more, but Zhu Asi interrupted him.


    “I havee to assist you under Elder Mo’s orders. Additionally, I have brought other people this time around. The purpose is to cooperate with you toy the foundation of the Flowerfruit Sect…Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to join our Zhuyan Pce.”


    Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.


    “Why is this Elder Mo so insistent on letting me join the Zhuyan Pce?”


    There must be something wrong.


    If it was purely to form a good rtionship, Elder Mo would not have gone so far as to be a bootlicker.


    Therefore, Elder Mo definitely had ulterior motives.


    “Don’t look at me like that. I don’t know why Elder Mo thinks so highly of you. You’re just a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with a good aptitude.” Zhu Asi pursed his lips and continued disdainfully, “Your current cultivation and aptitude are indeed good, but you are not the best in the Zhuyan Pce. After all, aptitude is one aspect. The most important thing is whether you can reach the top. This requires not only aptitude andprehension but also a strong background. Which of the prodigies in the Zhuyan Pce does not have an extremely strong background? Even if I am an outer sect disciple, I was still born in the royal family of the Ancient Zhuyan Nation. My father is a prince of the ancient nation. On the other hand, although you are the master of the Flowerfruit Sect, the current Flowerfruit Sect is nothing. At most, there are only two powerhouses in the Deity Transformation Realm guarding it.”


    Zhu Asi seemed to be unscrupulous and said all kinds of unpleasant words. Everyone turned red with anger.


    “You’re courting death!”


    Rao Wuqing immediately wanted to stand up and teach Zhu Asi a lesson, but he was stopped by a shout.


    “That’s enough. Let Mr. Zhu continue. I am, after all, a person who humbly asks for advice.”


    Jiang Ming was all smiles and did not seem angry at all.


    Seeing this, Zhu Asi frowned slightly, looking a little surprised.


    How could Ning Caichen be so calm?


    He was testing Jiang Ming’s temperament just now. He thought that Jiang Ming would leave him in anger so that he could report it to Elder Mo when he went back. However, in the end, Jiang Ming was so calm.


    Zhu Asi looked at Jiang Ming with a slightly higher opinion, but he still said unkindly, “A good temper is useless. If you want to establish yourself in this world, you need to be powerful enough. Jiang Ming, let me give you a piece of advice. With your aptitude, you can’t enter the Zhuyan Pce at all… Of course, if you want to be an outer sect disciple, there’s no problem. However, if you want to be a true disciple, then you are not qualified. Therefore, don’t have big ideas. You’re not qualified enough, understand?”


    This time, everyone was stunned. They had never expected that Zhu Asi would escte things like this.


    “Mr. Zhu, that’s enough. Do you really think that you can say whatever you want just because my master has a good temper? I’ll teach you a lesson now!”


    Rao Wuqing took a step forward, his entire body exuding an astonishing aura.


    He was at the Soul Formation Realm!


    Zhu Asi frowned slightly when he saw Rao Wuqing’s attitude.


    “Twenty years ago, you had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm. How did you advance to the Soul Formation Realm in such a short time? It seems that you’re quite lucky. Since you’re this strong, why don’t you follow my lead instead of fooling around with a piece of trash?”


    He kept calling Jiang Ming trash!


    Zhu Asi had crossed the line! No matter how good Jiang Ming’s temperament was, he could not suppress his anger from being challenged.


    “Elder Rao, since you’ve met a Soul Formation Realm genius, why don’t you give it a try?”


    Rao Wuqing grinned.


    “Haha, that’s exactly what I was thinking. I’ve been thinking of paying a visit to the Zhuyan Pce to see how strong the prodigies at my level are. Since Mr. Zhu is here today, it has saved me a lot of trouble!”


    Zhu Asi’s face darkened. How dare Rao Wuqing make fun of him?


    “Rao Wuqing, I know that you have some talent. In the past, you were also the shadow of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land’s Holy Lord. However, your future path has been cut off. Even if you find an opportunity to rejoin the future path, it will not change your fate. Do you understand?”


    This time, Zhu Asi was obviously furious and wanted to teach Rao Wuqing a lesson.


    He also wanted to find a way to teach Jiang Ming a lesson and make thetter know his ce!


    Zhu Asi raised his hand, and a spiritual sword appeared. The cold and murderous aura made one’s heart tremble.


    “What?!”


    Rao Wuqing instinctively took a step back when he felt the might of the sword.


    However, before he could retreat far, Zhu Asi attacked first.


    “Zhuyan sword Qi! Fourth move!”


    Zhu Asi was indeed worthy of being a prodigy. He came from the Zhuyan Pce. Although he was very rude and arrogant, he was indeed cautious in battle. No matter how much he looked down on Rao Wuqing, he would still attack seriously and not hesitate.


    “It seems that your temper has nothing to do with talent… There are indeed too many geniuses in this world. For Zhu Asi to be able to grow to where he was today, talent wasn’t the only factor,” Jiang Ming muttered softly. He was sure of one thing, and that was that he still underestimated all the geniuses. These people looked arrogant and cruel, but that could simply be a single aspect of their personalities.


    Using himself as an example, he was definitely a very arrogant person, but he had several other aspects to his personality. Ordinary people could not see through him at all. Zhu Asi should be the same.


    Just as Jiang Ming was thinking, Zhu Asi had alreadyunched a series of attacks, attacking Rao Wuqing until he could not even lift his head. He could not even resist for a short time.


    “Elder Rao, take three steps back, one step back to the right, and five steps forward!”


    Jiang Ming suddenly spoke, and Rao Wuqing did as he was told without hesitation. He immediately avoided Zhu Asi’s attacks, which made Zhu Asi frown.


    “Ning Caichen, you have some talent. Can you actually see through my attack trajectory?”


    “Hehe, I can see through it, but that’s it. If I were to fight you, I wouldn’t be able to keep up. Moreover, the onlooker sees everything clearly. If I wasn’t here, I definitely wouldn’t be able to see through all of this.”


    Jiang Ming spoke slowly with a kind smile.
