The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Yes, apart from the five essays on Man, Earth, Heaven, Way, and Nature, he still has two in his mind: Relying on Momentum, and Relying on All Things.

"Damn it, looks like my genius might be a bit too much," Tang Rao muttered to himself. Understanding five essays means you're a child of the great Way and blessed by Kao Shan, but understanding seven? That's like an impregnable fortress of awesome.

Of course, Tang Rao wouldn't say anything about this.

The full moon wanes, and the lead goose gets shot.

It's better to keep a low profile until your own wings are strong enough.

He's a steady young man, not like those scrubs around him, all jabbering to each other.

Hearing someone grasped three essays is enough to cause a stir.

Of course, Tang Rao also heard about someone who grasped four, which nearly caused the whole scene to spiral out of control.

Even the higher-ups from Kao Shan Sect are very pleased with that person.

The guy's name is what, Rui Zong? Sounds like he's all that.

At this point, Rui Zong has already gathered quite a few cultivators joining the sect around him, all singing his praises, obviously trying to build relationships.

Regarding this, He Kaoshan and others did not stop it; relationship-building is also considered an understanding of Kao Shan Sect's principles.

However, Tang Rao had no interest in this. Understanding four essays, that's it? Daddy grasped seven but keeps it low-key. Talking about cultivation talent in Kao Shan Sect, I definitely surpass all of you, but I'm modest and keep silent.

Not saying it doesn't mean I'm not a genius, all you lesser sects, just wait for me to soar to the heavens, wait for my stunning emergence!

As for Rui Zong, he seems to really enjoy being surrounded and adulated. A slight smile on his face, he maintains it with anyone who tries to schmooze, as if he's the big brother with the strongest talent among all the newcomers.

"What's this act, putting on airs..." Next to Tang Rao, a creamy-looking young man snickered.

Why say a creamy-looking young man... well, it's really because this guy is a bit too pretty.

Such a pretty man is indeed rare.

Skin so fair and tender, features incredibly delicate, especially a pair of shiny, bright eyes.

Around 1.7 meters tall, but you wouldn't think he's short, he looks quite tall and lithe. In fact, raise his height a little bit and you would feel it's not right, seems to ruin the overall attractiveness.

"Bro, do you feel the same?" the young man looked up and asked Tang Rao.

Tang Rao pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

The young man blinked his eyes.

"I've always thought that putting on airs is a form of self-entertainment for those with strong abilities and unique talents. Clearly, this trash doesn't have any talent or strength; saying he's putting on airs is giving him too much credit. I can only describe him with two words: 'pure idiot'," Tang Rao shrugged and said.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, the young man's eyes brightened as if a new world had been unveiled to him.

"Hahaha, exactly! Spot on! Pure idiot, it fits so well!" the young man said excitedly.

"Hello, my name is Lu Jun, and you?" Lu Jun asked Tang Rao, his eyes rolling with little stars. Tang Rao's simple words had bowled him over.

"Tang Rao," Tang Rao nodded and replied.

"So you are Brother Tang, hehe, I think what you say makes a lot of sense," Lu Jun said.

"Not bad, not bad, I just can't stand people like that. Getting a little capability and showing off like mad, acting as if he's the best in the whole world," Tang Rao pursed his lips, he really couldn't stand that Rui Zong.

"Exactly, exactly, I feel the same!" Lu Jun nodded vigorously, the stars in his eyes multiplying.

Tang Rao: "..."

Lu Jun always seemed to Tang Rao like a soft and somewhat silly pet.

"By the way, Brother Tang, where are you from?" Lu Jun asked.

"I ascended from the lower realm," Tang Rao said. This wasn't a secret, he had nothing to hide.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Lu Jun's eyes were filled with stars, "I've heard that resources in the lower realm are very scarce, and anyone who can cultivate to the Human Immortal Realm is a genius. Brother Tang must be a genius too, can I hang out with you in the future?"

Lu Jun's words gave Tang Rao a lot of comfort.

It wasn't because he liked people flattering him, but because since his arrival at the Land of Immortals, he had been looked down upon, considered a nobody. Hearing Lu Jun calling him a genius warmed Tang Rao's heart.

"It's not about hanging out with me, but if you're willing, we can help each other. When you're new to a Sect, all you can do is rely on each other," Tang Rao said with a smile.

Lu Jun looked deeply moved.

"No one has ever said this to me, they all say I'm like a woman, that I need protection, that if I lack skills I would just depend on others... Is this... what it feels like to be needed?" As he spoke, Lu Jun actually started to cry.

Tang Rao: (▔□▔)

Kid, do you need to be so emotional?

To cry just like that, oh my, I really didn't do anything.

"Brother Tang, thank you," Lu Jun said earnestly.

"Hey hey, stop crying, or others will think I'm some heartless monster who won't even spare a young boy like you. Just so you know, my preferences are quite normal," Tang Rao said.

Lu Jun blinked away his tears, and a smile spread across his face.

Tang Rao hadn't expected such a quick change in mood.

"By the way, Brother, actually... I've comprehended all five chapters," Lu Jun said, glancing around and whispering to Tang Rao.

Tang Rao was stunned for a moment; Lu Jun was really talented.

You see, comprehending four chapters is already remarkable, and for a Sect like Kao Shan Sect, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a once-in-a-century event. To comprehend five chapters, probably not many in the entire history of Kao Shan Sect could do that, right?

After all, to comprehend five chapters is known as the blessing of Kao Shan Sect.

As for Tang Rao... truthfully, he didn't dare mention that he had comprehended seven chapters, as he feared it might scare someone to paralysis.

"Xiao Jun, you're so talented, it looks like I'll have to rely on you in the future." Tang Rao said with a laugh.

Seeing the smile on Tang Rao's face, Lu Jun's cheeks flushed slightly.

Still, Lu Jun nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Brother Tang, I will definitely work hard."

"Alright, now that you have all imprinted your own characters and your own Dao hearts upon the Sect. Now, it is time to assign the divisions you will belong to." Niu Ben shouted loudly.

As Niu Ben's voice fell, someone stepped forward, obviously a high-ranking member of Kao Shan Sect.

"I am Sun Kuangjiang, a five-layer Heavenly Immortal, an elder of Kao Shan Sect, the Sect Leader of Gold Sect. Those willing to join my division, stand behind me."

As soon as Sun Kuangjiang finished speaking, many people stepped out, swiftly lining up behind him.

One hundred and two people, and of those, fifty-eight stood behind Sun Kuangjiang, including that Rui Zong.

There was no choice; among the five divisions of Kao Shan Sect—Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—the Gold Sect under Sun Kuangjiang was the strongest, and its overall power was the most formidable, so naturally, more people wanted to join it.
