Chapter 680 - 682: A Worthy Opponent
Chu Ge categorically stated that he was all too familiar with the aura emanating from him—a long-time rival who was an old friend, how could he possibly not recognize it?
However, what made him curious was why Uncle Liu would associate with such a person.
Uncle Liu wasn’t surprised that Chu Ge recognized him as a disciple of the Black Witch Sect, because in his eyes, this man was not any disciple of the Black Witch Sect, but his own disciple.
Uncle Liu chuckled and said, "He used to be a disciple of the Black Witch Sect, but it was all due to a moment of greed that led him astray."
Chu Ge was puzzled.
Uncle Liu explained, "Initially, Xiao Shuai wanted to learn ancient martial arts but had no way in. He happened to meet a disciple of the Black Witch Sect who boasted to him. Xiao Shuai mistook the Black Witch Sect for a righteous sect, so he went up the mountain to seek teaching. Only after joining the sect did he realize that it was not what he had imagined. When he wanted to leave, he couldn’t do so anymore.
Because of the recent conflicts between the sects, the Black Witch Sect suffered. Xiao Shuai took the opportunity to escape from the sect.
As the training methods of the Black Witch Sect are different from those of other righteous sects, and Xiao Shuai no longer had the support of the specific pills from the Black Witch Sect, his body couldn’t hold up at times, which was when I encountered him."
Uncle Liu simply recounted the story, but the underlying implication was clear: although Xiao Shuai had joined the Black Witch Sect, he was actually a good person.
Chu Ge became curious as he had always wanted to know which sect Uncle Liu belonged to. Thinking thus, he asked, "May I know from which sect Uncle Liu hails?"
Uncle Liu burst into laughter, "I belong to no sect, I’m just a lazy person. All the sects and disciples are but passing clouds to me."
Although Chu Ge was not sure if Uncle Liu was telling the truth, seeing that he declined to say more, Chu Ge did not pursue the matter.
