Chapter 239 I Want to Go with Hua Zong
"Thank you, Brother Longtan!"
Seeing the smile on the monk's face, Longtan also walked to him with a smile and patted him on the shoulder a few times.
The monk who was patted on the shoulder by Longtan had a look of honor on his face. He felt that he was appreciated by Longtan and was quite excited.
The actions of the independent cultivator in dealing with Zhang Wei were clearly seen by the Hua Sect. Bai Jie was very surprised when she saw Zeng Wenyu. She had never expected Zeng Wenyu to appear here. She originally wanted to invite Zeng Wenyu to the Hua Sect, but when she saw that Zeng Wenyu did not look in her direction, she thought about it and decided not to come over to say hello.
After dealing with Zhang Wei, there wasn't much left for the independent cultivators. The next step was whether to follow Hua Zong or leave on their own. The independent cultivators who had rested all looked at Long Tan, waiting for his decision.
Long Tan felt the gazes of the monks around him, and he pulled Zeng Wenyu towards Hua Zong.
"My fellow Daoist, I am Long Tan, the leader of the current independent cultivators. I wonder if I can meet the Young Master Bai Jie of the Hua Sect?"
The person standing in front of Longtan was a casual cultivator who had always been following Hua Zong. After what happened before, he had a stronger sense of identification with Hua Zong and was also proud to be a casual cultivator recruited by Hua Zong.
"You want to see the young master? Why? What's the matter?"
"We think that Hua Zong is very good to independent cultivators, and we want to follow Hua Zong to explore this ruins. Of course, we just want to have some soup with Hua Zong. I wonder if this fellow Taoist can go in and inform the young master?"
"Okay, then you guys wait here for a while, I'll go in and ask the steward."
"Thank you, fellow Taoist."
The monk turned and left the outside of the camp. Not long after, he was followed by a female monk. Judging from the expression of the monk, the female monk should be the person in charge here.
Looking at the female cultivator walking over, Zeng Wenyu recognized her as the female cultivator who had always been with Bai Jie and was called senior sister by Bai Jie.
The female monk walked over and looked at Longtan and Zeng Wenyu. Zeng Wenyu was standing behind Longtan. The female monk did not greet Zeng Wenyu. She just glanced at Zeng Wenyu and began to ask about Longtan's affairs as a wandering cultivator. After asking for some information, she said that she could take the two of them into the camp to see Bai Jie.
Bai Jie's tent was in the middle of Hua Zong's camp, but because it was built in a hurry and had just experienced a flood and the aftermath of a battle, it was already in tatters, with many parts torn and leaking.
Entering the tent, the nun bowed to Bai Jie and said, "Miss, I have brought the person here."
"Okay, please help me, Senior Sister." Bai Jie asked her Senior Sister to sit on a stool beside her, turned to look at Long Tan and Zeng Wenyu, and waved her hand gently. Two chairs appeared behind Long Tan and Zeng Wenyu, "Please take a seat, both of you."
"Thank you, Young Master."
"I already know why you two are here, but I haven't asked for your names yet."
"My name is Longtan, and the person next to me is my friend Gao Yi," Longtan introduced himself and Zeng Wenyu to Bai Jie, and then bowed deeply to Bai Jie, "Young Sect Master, all of us independent cultivators want to follow the Hua Sect. After all, the Hua Sect has no prejudice or discrimination against us independent cultivators. It will definitely be much more convenient to follow the Young Sect Master and the Hua Sect than to explore alone."
Bai Jie stared at Long Tan. She had also seen Long Tan's performance when resisting the aftermath of the battle just now. Long Tan's dedication to helping the casual cultivators made her feel that he should be a good person.
"You..." Just when Bai Jie was about to agree, she suddenly saw Zeng Wenyu, who was sitting behind Longtan, shaking his head slightly. Out of trust in Zeng Wenyu, Bai Jie immediately changed the subject, "...whether you can join the Huazong team, we still need to discuss it. How about this, the Baiqing Snake Clan has left, we will rest here tonight, I will discuss it with the sisters in the Huazong at night, and give you a reply tomorrow?"
"Okay! Then we will wait for good news from the Young Sect Master. I hope he can take us in."
Bai Jie did not answer. She asked her senior sister to send Long Tan and Zeng Wenyu out of the camp.
After being some distance away from Hua Zong’s camp, the smile on Long Tan’s face disappeared, and he walked ahead with a gloomy face.
Seeing Longtan's expression, Zeng Wenyu asked, "Brother Longtan, are you in a bad mood?"
"Not good. I didn't expect that Hua Zong didn't take us in directly. With so many independent cultivators like us, don't we have a very strong fighting force? As long as we don't encounter cultivators from large sects who also have the means to break through the upper limit, where in these ruins can we not go?"
"Alas, maybe the Hua Sect also has their own difficulties. After all, with so many people, they consume a lot of supplies every day, and they also come here to explore and seek rewards. With so many of us independent cultivators, maybe they are worried that after dividing the resources among us, the harvest will be too little."
"That's right, we do have too many people..." Long Tan turned his head and looked at the independent cultivators who were celebrating their survival. "The Hua Sect may not only be worried, but also afraid of us. After all, they were originally acting together with the Haimen Sect. Now all the people from the Haimen Sect here are dead, and the number of our independent cultivators is already greater than that of the Hua Sect."
"So it's no wonder that Hua Zong has to consider this. They also have to consider their own safety."
After hearing what Zeng Wenyu said, Long Tan's expression became a little uncertain. He also knew that this was the case, but with so many independent cultivators around, he didn't really want to give up. If he didn't give up, he wouldn't be able to take advantage of Hua Zong, but he was reluctant to give up. Finally, his expression became firm and he finally made the decision.
After returning to the group of casual cultivators, Longtan's face showed that simple and honest smile again. He smiled and took out the monster he had hunted before from his storage ring. After plucking and skinning the monster, he placed it on the re-lit bonfire and began to roast it.
Seeing this scene, Zeng Wenyu knew that Longtan was going to take action against this group of casual cultivators. Unfortunately, these casual cultivators did not know what Longtan was thinking. They even praised Longtan for being magnanimous for giving them such a monster with a high level of cultivation.
The celebration of the scattered cultivators continued until the night. In just a moment, Zeng Wenyu saw that Longtan had contacted all the scattered cultivators. As for what he was going to do with those scattered cultivators? Zeng Wenyu could easily guess that this was what Longtan had done outside the ruins before. It was just that this time, more people were controlled by Longtan, and no matter which cultivator's cultivation level was high or low.
Returning to his tent, Zeng Wenyu knew that something was definitely going to happen tonight. He reached out and patted Xiaoli in the hood to wake her up. He wanted Xiaoli to find Bai Jie and talk to her about something.
