Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss Chapter 897 - Agreed

Chapter 897: Agreed

Ling Chuxi was indeed saying this to help Lu Chengfeng rebuild his confidence and get rid of his inner demons, but she also meant it from the bottom of her heart. The Golden Pill Sect lacked strength and reputation. Strength wasn’t something that could be built in a day or two, and reputation could only be gained by borrowing might. They had just come back, so where could they go and find an expert so soon?
Although Lu Chengfeng’s strength wasn’t considered that strong, his family’s renowned reputation was still there. As long as he wasn’t arrogant or a faker, and obediently reported the name of the Lu family on occasion, who would dare provoke him? It wasn’t fixed to have only one special guest elder in the Sect—as long as they were rich and powerful, they could invite as many guest elders as they wanted. When the Golden Pill Sect became rich and powerful, they could invite a few more. Of course, if the Golden Pill Sect could establish a foothold in the Sacred Realm of Sects based on its own strength, that would be even better.
“You… are you being serious?” Lu Chengfeng’s eyes immediately lit up. Although he was the guest elder of the Celestial Sect, he also knew his own capabilities. He was treated well because of the ancestors of the Lu family, but the guest elder position was actually just a meaningless position, if he was being honest.
It was different for a special guest elder, since that status was the same level as the sect master. As people said, better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion. Once he became a special guest elder of the Golden Pill Sect, his status would naturally be higher than in the past, and it would not be letting his ancestors down. Besides, the Golden Pill Sect wasn’t considered the head of a dog since it had been one of the five major sects in the past, and its reputation had been on par with the Celestial Sect back then.
Lu Chengfeng himself didn’t expect to become a special guest elder one day. The powerful Sects didn’t notice him, while the weak Sects wanted to depend on him, but none of them had caught his eye. As for the Golden Pill Sect, although its strength wasn’t strong, he could be useful to them. Also, since it had been one of the five major sects in the past, it wouldn’t be insulting the Lu family name, so Lu Chengfeng was moved by Ling Chuxi’s offer.
“Mister Lu, I can joke about other things, but how could I joke about a serious matter like this?” Ling Chuxi saw Lu Chengfeng’s bright eyes and knew that he was touched.
“Thank you, Lady Sect Master, for thinking highly of me. I’ll think it over.” Lu Chengfeng addressed Ling Chuxi formally, but because he was too embarrassed to appear hasty, he spoke reservedly.
Ling Chuxi silently laughed. It wouldn’t be easy for the old man to give up on his ego so soon.
“Mister Lu, could it be that you think my Golden Pill Sect is too small and unfitting for a master like you?” Ling Chuxi asked jokingly.
“No, Lady Sect Master, not at all. I’m very honored to be the special guest elder of the Golden Pill Sect.” After what Ling Chuxi said, Lu Chengfeng was too embarrassed to play it cool.
“Then Mister Lu agrees?” Ling Chuxi asked.
Lu Chengfeng nodded solemnly, his sadness fading away and his gaze becoming spirited like it used to be. To be honest, if Lu Chengfeng hadn’t continuously received so many challenges and had his confidence thrown out the window, his former arrogant self might have rejected the position.
“Then it’s decided: from today onwards, Mister Lu is the special guest elder of the Golden Pill Sect, and the sect disciples should treat Mister Lu with courtesy and kindness,” Ling Chuxi declared, taking advantage of the fact that everyone was present to make the announcement.
