Chapter 98 - 098 Wind rises and clouds move
Blood Shadow Sect.
Golden Lion knocked on the door of his newly acknowledged master, the Blood Butcher, Lan Nuotian.
Lan Nuotian was meditating cross-legged.
As Golden Lion entered, Lan Nuotian lifted his eyelids slightly. "Disciple, have you come to see me regarding any questions about the Cultivation Techniques?"
"Master, there is no problem with the Cultivation Technique." Golden Lion looked at his master, who was enveloped in a bloody aura, and tentatively asked, "Master, I want to donate one hundred thousand taels of Silver to standardize the Blood Shadow Sect’s attire. What do you think? I see that our brothers are wearing all sorts of clothes, and it doesn’t reflect the prestige of our Blood Shadow Sect!"
"Disciple, there’s no need to focus on such trivial matters." Lan Nuotian frowned slightly. "The Blood Shadow Sect is already viewed as unorthodox by the secular world. It’s easier for disciples to move about in ordinary clothes when they venture into the pugilistic world. If we standardized their attire, they would likely face obstacles everywhere. Besides, if you have one hundred thousand taels, why not buy some Magic Artifacts and Pill Medicine for yourself? Only with sufficient strength can you dominate the world."
Golden Lion was speechless. His expression turned sheepish, and the joy he’d felt upon joining the Blood Shadow Sect instantly vanished. He couldn’t even get them to standardize their attire, let alone put up an advertising sign for the sect. Compared to Lin, the Storekeeper of Righteous Door, my own master is too rigid. In this era of a market economy, he’s unwilling to make even the slightest change. How could Players possibly want to join? SIGH!
Lan Nuotian let out a faint sigh. I’ve really joined the wrong sect! Golden Lion thought, his spirits sinking further.
"Disciple, don’t sigh." Seeing his disciple’s dejection, Lan Nuotian tried to comfort him. "You are one of the Descended, born with all your meridians naturally clear, so there are no impediments to practicing our sect’s techniques. After cultivating diligently for some time, those so-called chosen ones of the righteous path will undoubtedly be trampled beneath your feet. Once you venture into the pugilistic world and understand the true nature of those renowned righteous sects, you will realize how carefree and liberating it is to be a member of the Blood Shadow Sect..."
Amidst a barrage of dissatisfied comments like, "Blood Shadow Sect’s NPCs aren’t smart," "Nowhere near as good as Shopkeeper Lin," "This is like watching a traditional martial arts drama," "Leaving, leaving! It’s more interesting to watch Shopkeeper Lin," and "Betray them, Old Jin! There’s no future sticking with the Blood Shadow Sect," the number of viewers in the live streaming room dwindled. Golden Lion’s face darkened, and he felt increasingly bleak about his future. "Understood, Master," he mumbled.
