At least someone wasn't too into the idea of attending a banquet by the GuBaiJin sect.

"Young master s.h.i.+, I know you don't think this is a good idea, but if you don't show up, what would others think?!"

s.h.i.+ Yunxu paced up and down his room, angry and worried that things could become ugly as they gathered at the GuBaiJin sect.

"I seriously want to turn down the invitation, but with father laying in bed with an incurable illness, what am I to do?!"

"Young master! I beg of you, don't let your emotions rule you. ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect is not number two for nothing, your father and many others have worked hard to solidify our standing among other sects! Don't let all their blood and labor be in vain!"

s.h.i.+ Haikuan was one of s.h.i.+ Yunxu's confidants as the other was trying to appease the righteous anger of the younger master of the ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect.

They were both similar in height and built, but one looked visible upset while the other was more of a peacemaker.

"I don't want to see that annoying man!"

Without being told who it was that he was making reference to, s.h.i.+ Haikuan could tell that the one being spoken about was the sect leader of the YuanLi sect, Li Guoliang.

"Young master s.h.i.+, how are you so sure that he would show up?!"

Turning around all of a sudden, s.h.i.+ Yunxu almost ran into his friend.

"I think he would! I really think he would show up just to make me suffer through the whole feast!"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

s.h.i.+ Haikuan let out a sigh, as he didn't know what to make of his young master's wild thoughts.

"You could ask to be seated away from him if that is the case! There would be others in there that would want to speak to him, I doubt if he would single you out to talk to throughout the entire festivity!"

"You don't know him! He could do something like that!"

s.h.i.+ Haikuan watched as his young master let out an exaggerated quaver of fear from his body.

"Please, Young master s.h.i.+! Think of the future of ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect!"

In the puligistic world it was not only skills that mattered but also how well a sect or clan was able to form ties with others. In other words, ranking was based on cultivation and political skills, the higher the sect did on both the more likely they were to remain at the top.

"I'm not any good at conversing with other sect leaders, everyone of them look down on me for being so young! Father hasn't pa.s.sed on the t.i.tle to me yet, so why should I have to go there?! I already did enough at the last a.s.sembly!"

Within, s.h.i.+ Yunxu felt frustrated by his powerlessness, he knew what others taught of him, as one who wasn't strong enough to lead the ShenJiangs.h.i.+ sect.

"Young master s.h.i.+, isn't it better to have an enemy that you know than the one that hides in the dark only to spring up out of nowhere at you?!"
