Several factions are now extending an olive branch to Tang Zhong.

But right now, Tang Zhong doesn’t want to join any faction, and more importantly, he’s just following Ading.

"I don’t want to join any faction at the moment, so please, stop pulling me in."

The leaders of several factions still wanted to recruit Tang Zhong.

After all, they’re not fools. This person surviving the attack by the Star Sword Association definitely indicates he has capabilities.

However, Tang Zhong was determined to refuse, and the others had no choice but to leave, shaking their heads.

He wasn’t planning to stay here long; he planned to leave soon.

But at this moment, an unexpected guest walked up next to him; it was Jian Jiu.

As the President of the Star Sword Association, Jian Jiu naturally came here to recruit new members.

He had seen from a distance many people trying to bring Tang Zhong into their factions. Tang Zhong had previously rejected their Star Sword Association, and if he joined another faction, it would be a slap in their face. So he came over to take a look.

Suddenly, Jian Jiu and Tang Zhong faced each other again. The aura on the other party made Jian Jiu feel extremely familiar, but he couldn’t recall where they had met before.

"We meet again," Jian Jiu said, looking at Tang Zhong.

Tang Zhong smiled and said, "Yes."

"Since you’re here, you must be looking to join a faction. I now invite you on behalf of our Star Sword Association," Jian Jiu needed to recruit Tang Zhong into their Star Sword Association. If Tang Zhong joined other factions, it would be a significant embarrassment for them.

After that incident, the Star Sword Association was looked down upon by many.

Causing Jian Jiu to have a hard time holding his head up at the Spring Autumn Academy for a while.

Many members of the Star Sword Association had brought this issue to Jian Jiu’s attention.

Jian Jiu also said he would resolve it, but he hadn’t found a solution yet.

Today, the only solution was to reinvite Tang Zhong. If used well, this person could be a potent spear, with limitless potential.

As this scene unfolded, many eyes turned to them.

Because Tang Zhong had already rejected Jian Jiu before, everyone wanted to see what would happen this time.

Only to see Tang Zhong look at Jian Jiu and say, "I might not be able to."

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiu’s expression turned dark, another rejection?

After the last rejection, he lost a lot of face, and now it was happening again.

If he didn’t do something, their Star Sword Association would likely be trampled underfoot by other factions.

This was a scenario Jian Jiu absolutely did not want to see.

Then, his voice turned cold as he stared at Tang Zhong ahead, "Aren’t you going to reconsider?"

His voice carried both questioning and commanding tones.

If the other party still refused, then their Star Sword Association’s greatest enemy would be Tang Zhong, giving them their greatest disgrace.

"I have no need to join your Star Sword Association, so there’s no need to say more. I refuse." Tang Zhong said slowly, ready to leave, as staying here any longer would bring a lot of trouble.

Tang Zhong now just wanted to keep a low profile.

But as he took a step, a sword was thrust out in front of him.

This was a sword Tang Zhong had seen before, it was Jian Jiu’s sword, named Evil Slayer.

Seeing this, Tang Zhong turned his head and looked at Jian Jiu beside him and said, "What are you doing, President Jian Jiu?"

Jian Jiu replied coldly, "I’m just asking you again, will you join our Star Sword Association?"

Tang Yan’s eyes instantly turned cold, "I won’t join your faction, so what, will you force me?"

"What I want to hear right now is not this, but a yes," said Jian Jiu coldly.

At this moment, everyone around turned to look, understanding what Jian Jiu was saying.

After all, being rejected twice by one person was very serious for the face of the Star Sword Association.

So what Jian Jiu was doing now was totally understandable, but what everyone didn’t get was why Tang Zhong was so adamant about refusing the Star Sword Association. If he joined, the benefits would be endless.

Tang Zhong, at this moment, was seething with anger, saying coldly, "I advise you to put the sword down; my patience has its limits."

His voice was frightfully cold.

Jian Jiu felt very uncomfortable hearing this, "Let’s see if you’re faster or my sword is faster."

"I’ll count to three, put your sword down." Tang Zhong said coldly.

This time, Jian Jiu’s eyes flashed with killing intent, as no one had ever dared speak to him this way in front of him.

Especially a newcomer.

If this person doesn’t die today, what right does Jian Jiu have to mingle in the Spring Autumn Academy?

"Fine, since you’re seeking death, I’ll help you."

Tang Zhong was not afraid of Jian Jiu. He was ready to pull out the Dragon-breaking Staff to kill the opponent if needed. Initially, he entered the Spring Autumn Academy only to investigate matters regarding the Dragon Realm. But now, if he had to do this, then he would kill Jian Jiu and leave the Spring Autumn Academy just the same.

One of the reasons he’s still staying at the Spring Autumn Academy is that it’s relatively stable, giving him a status that lets him survive peacefully in the Lingyuan Continent.

Tang Zhong was ready to make a move when, just then, a woman’s voice could be heard.

A woman with a swaying figure walked over, smiling, "The Academy encourages us to build our forces but never says to forcibly recruit people into our factions. Jian Jiu, you’ve really broadened my horizons."

A woman stepped forward, immediately capturing everyone’s attention.

However, as the woman stepped forward, many quickly stepped back, not daring to get close to her.

As if they were afraid.

Jian Jiu turned back and saw the woman, with a deepened gaze.

"I don’t think this has anything to do with you, Qing Xuan."

The woman smiled upon hearing her name, "I’m just curious why you’re so intent on having this person join your faction. Looking closely, he’s just a bit handsome, nothing extraordinary."

"But since you value him so highly, I’m a bit interested. If this young man is willing to join us, that’s fine too."

The woman named Qing Xuan said.

Her words immediately attracted everyone’s attention and shocked them.

They couldn’t believe it was true.

The Listening Wind Pavilion actually wanted to bring this person into their faction too.

Tang Zhong was truly speechless now. Why did another person suddenly appear? He initially intended to kill Jian Jiu and then leave the Spring Autumn Academy, but now it seemed that wasn’t an option.

However, he was curious why this woman was speaking up for him.

But at that moment, when he saw Qin Chuchu behind the woman, everything became clear.
