Under such circumstances, wouldn’t all his previous efforts be in vain?

Kong Xuan frowned at Lu Ping. “You’ve already accepted my benefits!”

Lu Ping smiled. “Benefits? Indeed I did, but our agreement at that time was only to accept him as a disciple in my name and pass on the cultivation technique you gave me to him. At the same time, I gave you the title of a joint master. I’ve already done it. You can’t possibly want me to teach him for the rest of my life, right?”

Kong Xuan was rendered speechless by his words.

One had to know that both of them were cultivators with outstanding memories. Back then, it was true that there was no stipulation on how long Lu Ping would teach Kong Jing.

Just like what Lu Ping said, he couldn’t teach Kong Jing for the rest of his life.

Speaking up to this point, Lu Ping faintly asked, “Can I know what exactly is different about me? Mr. Kong, did you take a fancy to me and let me complete this task?”

Lu Ping didn’t believe in coincidence! He also didn’t believe in luck!

Kong Xuan stared at Lu Ping and sighed, “You’re very smart!”

“It’s not bad! It’s just that people can’t be muddle-headed when they’re alive,” Lu Ping said softly, “I still have what I need to understand.”

Kong Xuan fell into silence.

After a long while, he said, “You don’t need to know about this. It’s not good for you to know.”

Hearing this answer, Lu Ping smiled again.

He smiled very happily!

He confirmed his guess that there was indeed something different about him.

No wonder both this guy in front of him and Uncle Sun came looking for him.

Was this because of the system?

In fact, Kong Xuan didn’t dare expose it!

He didn’t know whose chess piece Lu Ping was, but if he exposed it, it would affect the people behind Lu Ping. That person would definitely not let it go, and his plan would definitely not be successful.

This was something Kong Xuan didn’t want to see.

Seeing that Kong Xuan didn’t seem to want to say anything more, Lu Ping didn’t insist.

He said seriously, “Mr. Kong, it’s like this. After a while, I might be able to establish a sect. I wonder if you can come to my sect and become a guest elder?”

Guest elder?

Upon hearing this title, Kong Xuan fell into hesitation.

It had to be said that Lu Ping was very smart.

Guest elders were different from ordinary elders of the main sect. Basically, guest elders didn’t belong to the internal members of the sect. They belonged nominally.

They did not really join that sect.

Perhaps it was because of personal feelings, or perhaps it was because of a relationship of interest.

In any case, the restrictions of this relationship were relatively weak!

Moreover, it made sense no matter where they were placed.

The reason why Lu Ping proposed this position was to prevent Kong Xuan from using the sect or the existing sect as an excuse to shirk.

At the same time, the guest elders generally did not participate in the management of the sect.

This also prevented the other party from disregarding the rules.

Kong Xuan was very hesitant to join the sect that Lu Ping had founded.

How was this guy thinking? Why did he suddenly want to establish a sect? Was it the person behind him who designed it?

Kong Xuan began to guess.

But guessing was actually useless.

Especially when he did not even dare ask.

Kong Xuan kept pondering whether Lu Ping’s invitation was the will of the person behind it?

Was it to form a tacit understanding with him?

Just like what Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong had said.

At this time, they didn’t have much of a choice!

“Okay! I promise you!” Kong Xuan believed that if there was a saint behind Lu Ping, the matter of him becoming a guest elder of Lu Ping’s sect would definitely not be discovered!

Since he had the idea of leaving Buddhism, then having external help was better than nothing!

In the end, he chose to agree. Moreover, after he agreed, Lu Ping’s teachings to Kong Jing became logical.

Lu Ping was overjoyed!

This was too good.

With this person in front of him joining, if anything really happened, he would have a trump card.

Even though he had the Mountain Protecting formation, what if something happened to his disciples? What if the enemy’s cultivation was high and he couldn’t handle it?

It would be too unsightly for him to swallow his anger.

With this fellow in front of him, it would be different.

Although he had never seen this fellow make a move, Lu Ping believed that since he was able to casually give away two Bo leaves like that, he was definitely not an ordinary person!

However, Lu Ping did not know that unless it was absolutely necessary, Kong Xuan would not make a move.

“I have already joined the sect. Then you can continue to help me teach Kong Jing in the future, right?” This was what Kong Xuan was very worried about.

Lu Ping said helplessly, “Once I open the sect, it is very likely that I will have to go outside the city. Kong Jing is unwilling to join my sect. I’m afraid there is nothing I can do about it. When he joins the Azure Cloud sect, I’m afraid he won’t be able to come out anytime soon. How can I see him?”

Hearing this, Kong Xuan frowned.

Kong Jing was joining the Azure Cloud sect?

This was definitely not what he wanted to see.

In Kong Xuan’s opinion, Kong Jing’s choice was unreasonable.

After cultivating his own cultivation technique and looking at the crude cultivation techniques of these sects, how could he continue to cultivate?

No matter what, he should have followed Lu Ping!

However, reality was always so surprising. Kong Jing had chosen the Azure Cloud sect!

At this moment, Kong Xuan suddenly felt something and said anxiously, “I have something to do first. Let’s talk another day!”

As he spoke, he took a step forward and appeared a hundred meters away. After a few steps, he disappeared.
