Chapter 12: He Can Really Boast!

Upon hearing his son say the words ‘Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect’, Clanlord Li felt as though he had been struck by lightning. He was dumbstruck and could not move an inch from his original spot.

Half a year ago, Li Qingyang’s test result had revealed that he possessed a high-grade spirit root. This had made him wild with joy.

The Li Clan had been extremely excited and treated him as the pride of the family. Moreover, they had even thought of how their family could become more glorious with the lead of this younger generation.

After the test ended, Clanlord Li had given his son the best resources and even started to plan out his future. He had decided that when the Hundred Sects Recruitment began, he would choose a sect with heritage and prestige.

Never could he have imagined that Li Qingyang would leave secretly while he was showering and changing his clothes. He did not manage to find him even after searching the entire house.

“Little brat, could he have gone to meet that lowly maid in private again?”

Clanlord Li could not find Li Qingyang and was so angry he was pacing up and down the hall.

Just at that moment, the servant came hurriedly to report, “Clanlord, Young Master has gone to the Recruitment Site alone. He has been strongly regarded by the fifth-grade Azure Mountain Sect, and they want to recruit him as a disciple!”

“What!” Clanlord Li was extremely happy.

The Azure Mountain Sect had the best power within the Qingyang region. Its status was no weaker than the lord of Qingyang City. If his son was recruited by such a sect, he was not only bringing honor to his ancestors but was also paving a bright future for himself.

“But” The servant paused for a while and softly said, “Young Master has rejected the recruitment offer from the elder of Azure Mountain Sect.”

“What!” Clanlord Li almost fell to the ground.

The same word was spoken, but the different tones had clearly shown how his mood had suddenly fallen from heaven to hell.

“Is this little scoundrel’s brain spoiled? How could he have rejected Azure Mountain Sect’s recruitment!

“This won’t do. This won’t do!

“This thing matters his entire life and the future of our Li family. I can’t let him be willful!”

Hence, Clanlord Li rushed to the recruitment site with his servant.

He coincidentally met the elder of Azure Mountain Sect who was preparing to leave, so he accepted the previous invitation on behalf of Li Qingyang.

When Clanlord Li heard that his son had joined another sect, he had wondered if there was another sect that was more outstanding than Azure Mountain Sect.

Yet, in the end, that little brat had joined the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect!

The Li family had a certain status in Qingyang City that was equivalent to an eighth-grade sect. For their son to join a ninth-grade sect, that was something Clanlord Li could never accept!

After being momentarily dazed, he spoke with a heavy tone. “Qingyang, don’t joke with me.”

“Dad,” Li Qingyang said, “I’m not joking. I’m now a disciple of the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect.”

This sentence came like a double blow to the Clanlord Li. It caused his body to shudder, and he took two steps back involuntarily.

“Clanlord!” The servant came over hastily to hold him.

Clanlord Li stood still and pointed his finger at Li Qingyang. He spoke with a shaking voice. “The face of the Li family has all been thrown away by you today!”

He could have accepted it if his son joined a sixth-grade sect, but he could never accept that he had joined Iron Bones Sect. After all, that was only a ninth-grade sect!

Not only that, this kind of rubbish sect would not only ruin his future. It would also cause the Li Clan to become a laughingstock!

The various cultivators who were watching started laughing.

The first talent of Qingyang City had something wrong with his brain, but his father was considered normal. At least he knew that joining the Iron Bones Sect was a disgrace.

“Young Master!” the servant of the Li Clan said hastily. “Don’t infuriate the Clanlord anymore. Guickly break away from that rubbish sect!”

Snap!

Jun Changxiao gently held up his fists.

Even a clan servant saw his own sect as rubbish. This made him very unhappy!

“Dad,” Li Qingyang said seriously. “One must have integrity and be sincere. Since I have already joined the Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect, I will not break away from them.”

“You” Clanlord Li was so angry his teeth were chattering. “Unfilial son!”

The elder of Azure Mountain Sect could not watch any longer. “Young Master Li, filial piety is the most important virtue. For you to disobey your father this way, it’s extremely unfilial.”

Li Qingyang had expressions of hesitation and guilt on his face.

“That’s it,” Jun Changxiao murmured. “The duck I just got hold of is about to fly off.”

After a while, Li Qingyang spoke with a firm gaze. “Father, I’ve been following the path you set out for me since I was young. Now I have grown up to become an adult, and I shall make my own choices.”

Clanlord Li pointed at the horizontal scroll of Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect and said, “Is it your choice to join a ninth-grade sect!”

“Yes.” Li Qingyang was very serious.

Clanlord Li was so angry he almost vomited blood. His fingers shivered as he spoke with fury. “If you don’t withdraw from the Iron Bones Sect, then you shall not have me as your father anymore!”

“Young Master Li, there are no prospects in the Iron Bones Sect, you should quickly withdraw now.”

“There are so many outstanding sects here. You can choose any of them randomly, and it will be better than the Iron Bones Sect. Don’t be so stubborn, alright?”

“Clanlord Li is not young anymore. If he becomes ill from this anger, as his son, you will regret it for the rest of your life!”

“Young Master Li, please think twice before you act.”

The various cultivators were enjoying the scene as it did not concern them. Hence, they were all commenting noisily one after another.

They were not doing this in consideration of Clanlord Li. In fact, they simply did not want to see a talent with high-grade spirit root join a rubbish sect.

“A bunch of idiots,” Jun Changxiao secretly scolded.

“Clanlord Li.” He cupped his hands and said, “Your son should choose his own future. As his father, you should give him your support instead of violently obstructing him. Furthermore”

He paused for a moment before speaking again. “My Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect isn’t as bad as you think. If Young Master Li joins my sect, his future accomplishments will only become greater.”

“Only become greater?” Clanlord Li suppressed his fuming anger and coldly replied, “You really consider your Iron Bones Sect as formidable, huh?”

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, “My Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect is not formidable. It is a beautiful jade waiting to be polished.”

“Bah!”

“A rubbish sect calling themselves a beautiful jade, how shameless!”

“If I can glib talk like him, I won’t fret about not having disciples!”

The cultivators from various sects scoffed.

Clanlord Li said with a towering rage, “My son must have been conned into joining your Iron Bones Sect by your flowery words!”

“This seat is the sect leader of Iron Bones Clang Clang Sect,” Jun Changxiao said earnestly. “I have always been recruiting disciples seriously. I don’t care about conning people.”

“Your cultivation is not even as good as my family’s visitors. What face do you have to call yourself a sect leader?” Clanlord Li spoke coldly.

Jun Changxiao replied, “Clanlord Li, this seat’s cultivation may not be strong, but I can coach Young Master Li to become one of the strongest, and that’s enough.”

“Dang!”

“He can really boast!”

“Young Master Li has an outstanding innate talent. Who are you to coach him?”

“In my opinion, Young Master Li can totally take over as the Iron Bones Sect’s leader to teach him how to increase his realm!”

The crowd had strong contempt for Jun Changxiao but were also impressed by him. For him to have such thick skin and powerful boasting skills, he could also be considered a talent.

Clanlord Li could feel his increasing fury. He could not wait to point at Jun Changxiao and start verbally abusing him. However, he was considered a prominent figure in Qingyang City after all. He forcefully suppressed this urge.

“Sect Leader Jun.” Just at this moment, the elder of Azure Mountain Sect spoke. “In order for your disciple to become the strongest, you must first have an extraordinary understanding of martial dao. Since you are so confident, you must surely have a deep understanding of martial dao, right?”

This old man, he’s trying to set a trap for me, huh?

Jun Changxiao could understand the scheming trap. If he answered that he had experience with martial dao, the elder would definitely go hard on him. If he said that he had no experience, Clanlord Li would definitely make his son withdraw from the sect.

Sigh, he was at a total loss.
