“If you manage to secure entry into the Medicine Sect, there’s no need for you to involve yourself with the Medicine Sect again. Besides, I’ve already promised you considerable benefits. Why remain so discerning? I fail to see what aspect of your character warrants such selectiveness,” Kang Yan shouted pointedly.
His tone implied that Kang Shi was merely a low-grade disciple of the clan.
Yet, despite this, Kang Shi held the position of the Clan Leader’s son. Matters like these could be deliberated upon by the Clan Leader.
However, it appeared that Kang Yan was advocating for his own interests.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but smile, reflecting on Ziluo’s presence earlier in the day. “Naturally, I have my preferences. I’m not like you, Senior Brother Kang Yan, grabbing things without discrimination.”
Initially, Kang Yan didn’t react.
Then, when he did, his anger flared. “You useless waste, what did you just say? Ziluo chose me because you’re utterly worthless. What’s there to dispute? Even if she doesn’t choose me, she certainly wouldn’t choose someone as worthless as you.”
Gu Chaoyan, however, remained composed, standing her ground.
She refused to be at a disadvantage, especially not in front of these two individuals.
Enraged, Kang Shi attempted to confront her but was restrained by the First Elder.
Sometimes, young individuals needed to endure.
In this regard, Yan’er couldn’t even compare to Kang Shi. Kang Shi exhibited even greater tolerance.
The First Elder sighed.
Then, he explained, “While Shi’er’s words may be harsh, they hold some truth. The clan’s competition occurs every three months, and those who have reached 18 years of age, without improving their cultivation, face expulsion and are required to work outside the clan.”
“…”
“Although your father holds the position of Clan Leader, changing this matter is nearly impossible. Don’t make it difficult for your father. Joining the Medicine Sect is a viable way out. The cultivation requirements there are more lenient,” the First Elder advised.
Regardless, compliance with his directives was imperative upon reaching the Medicine Sect.
The quality of the pills was commendable.
Firstly, he would refine the pills and allow them to benefit from their effects.
Subsequently, he planned to instruct his associates in the art. In the eventuality that direct confrontation became unnecessary, he could continue dealing with this individual seamlessly.
The First Elder had meticulously considered every aspect of the plan.
All that remained was Kang Shi’s agreement to his proposal.
“Thank you for your concern, First Elder. I appreciate it. However, I have no inclination towards pill refinement; my expertise lies elsewhere. Venturing to the Medicine Sect would be inappropriate for me. I prefer to reattempt the competition,” Kang Shi responded with sincerity.
The First Elder frowned, visibly displeased.
Kang Shi’s rejection seemed outright and illogical.
Did he truly believe that his life within the clan would be trouble-free?
“I’ve experienced this scenario before. My advice stems from firsthand experience. If you remain obstinate, you’ll only have yourself to blame for the hardships ahead.”
“…”
“I’m sure your father wouldn’t wish to see you expelled from the clan, correct?” the First Elder persisted.
“It’s fine regarding my father,” Gu Chaoyan interjected, uninterested in prolonging the argument with the First Elder.
This elder seemed intent on scheming against Kang Shi.
The First Elder snorted.
“I’ll grant you two days for consideration. Hastiness won’t aid your decision-making. Return for now. Aspirations are well and good for the youth, but practicality should guide your choices. The paramount goal is to make decisions that empower you the most.”
“…”
“You’re not a youngster anymore; it’s time to find a suitable partner for marriage.”
“…”
“Who would want to marry you in your current state?”
