Chapter 1002 - 1000 I Need Your Help
"That's exactly the point," the Venerable Lord seemed invigorated. "Since it's a new faction, it must naturally differ from the Haotian Alliance and the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. The foundation of this new faction is non-competition! I believe that if it truly becomes that way, it would certainly attract a large number of cultivators. In this world, there are not a few cultivators tired of the conflict between the two major factions."
Yu Daiwei stood behind the Venerable Lord, looking at the exuberant expression on his face, feeling quite incredulous.
Because after all these years following the Venerable Lord, she had never seen such an expression on his face, and what made it even more unbelievable was that the person who elicited this reaction from the Venerable Lord was actually a young man in the True Lake Level 5 realm!
She understood the Venerable Lord's high aspirations and pride. Even the Sect Masters of the top sects in the Nine Provinces might not catch his eye. In the Venerable Lord's view, those so-called Sect Masters were mostly corrupt beings, and summer insects cannot speak of ice.
Yet, in front of her now, the Venerable Lord was chatting happily with Lu Yiye, almost as if they were sitting and discussing the Dao. How could she not be astonished, and further realized how much the Venerable Lord valued this young man.
But even she did not understand why the Venerable Lord regarded Lu Yiye so highly.
"There should be," Lu Ye nodded.
If such a faction truly emerged in this world, it would likely attract many people to join, just as the Venerable Lord said, there were many who were tired of the conflict between the two major factions, only often caught in the momentum, unable to extricate themselves.
Most cultivators had no real grievance with each other, but simply because of factional rivalry, they found reasons to draw their swords.
Changing the topic, Lu Ye said, "Strictly speaking, the Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union is such a faction."
The Venerable Lord was momentarily taken aback, then chuckled, "That's different. The Heaven's Augury Mercantile Union is in the business of trading. They indeed do not compete with others, but business relies on harmony for wealth. How can they contend with others?"
"Is the Venerable Lord considering founding such a faction?" Lu Ye roughly grasped his meaning.
