Chapter 2107: He gave too much

Zuo Jue stood there with a determined look, his eyes like torches, as if he had already seen his future in the Dao One Immortal Sect.

He clenched his fists, his heart full of longing and resolve for the Dao One Immortal Sect.

However, his father standing beside him looked at his own son with a complex expression.

He simply couldn't understand how his son, who usually bullied the weak with his strength, could suddenly be so determined to join the Dao One Immortal Sect.

What does facing fear have to do with it? This kid must have gone crazy.

After a long silence, Zuo Fu finally couldn't help but speak.

"Given the current situation, will the Dao One Immortal Sect even accept you? You just fought an Elder from another sect and suffered a crushing defeat, yet this concerns your desire to join the Dao One Immortal Sect— isn't that nonsense?"

Facing his father's worry, Zuo Jue answered without hesitation.

"Father, I believe that sincerity can open metal and stone; as long as I have enough sincerity and determination, the Dao One Immortal Sect will surely accept me."

Hearing his son's firm answer, Zuo Fu couldn't help but be stunned.

He looked at Zuo Jue's serious expression and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Seeing his father say nothing more, Zuo Jue assumed he had tacitly approved his decision.

Thus, he leapt without hesitation, jumped off the immortal boat, and raced toward the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Watching Zuo Jue's receding back, Zuo Fu's heart filled with complex emotions.

He felt both helpless about his son's courage and determination and worried for his future.

"Can this son still be wanted?" Zuo Fu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Old Zuo, this..."

The people nearby also seemed stunned by Zuo Jue's action, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

He's already gone— are we really just going to watch him leave without chasing after him?

However, Zuo Fu seemed indifferent, even cutting off others mid-sentence, waving his hand decisively and saying:

"No need to chase; let's go to Wuji Xiancheng."

Zuo Fu's decision surprised some, but he obviously had his own considerations.

However, Zuo Fu didn't leave immediately; instead, he chose to first go to Wuji Xiancheng and wait there a bit.

This action showed his composure and patience, after all, in such a situation, impulsive moves are rarely the best strategy.

Hearing Zuo Fu's decision, the several strong ones from Pill King Immortal City also had no objections.

Originally, they had set out with Zuo Fu as their leader, all actions following his orders.

Thus, although they might have had doubts, they still followed Zuo Fu to Wuji Xiancheng without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Zuo Jue was dragging his injured body, struggling to return to the Dao One Immortal Sect.

He didn't know his father's complex thoughts; he only wanted to join the Dao One Immortal Sect.

However, when he finally reached the Dao One Immortal Sect, he found the Opening Mountain Ceremony had already begun.

Outside the mountain gate, the crowd that had gathered had already gone up the mountain, and it was extremely lively.

But Zuo Jue could only go alone, his steps unsteady as he walked toward the mountain gate; just as he reached the vicinity, two disciples of the Dao One Immortal Sect suddenly blocked his path.

These two disciples stared at Zuo Jue with unfriendly expressions and bluntly asked:

"What are you doing here?"

Obviously, they still remembered Zuo Jue's previous behavior, especially his disrespect toward Yè Chánglǎo, which made these disciples dislike him even more.

Faced with the two disciples' clearly hostile attitude, Zuo Jue remained unusually calm, as if he didn't take their hostility to heart at all.

In fact, before coming, he had already anticipated possibly receiving such treatment.

Only saw Zuo Jue's expression unchanged, speaking calmly and composedly.

"I came to participate in the Opening Mountain Ceremony."

However, his words vanished like a stone sunk in the sea, instantly leaving the two gate-guarding disciples stunned, unable to close their mouths.

They looked at Zuo Jue in disbelief, as if they had heard the most absurd thing in the world.

"What?"

One disciple exclaimed in disbelief, his face full of shock.

"How could this be? This guy actually wants to join their Sect? This is practically a huge joke."

You know, just a moment ago he offended Yè Chánglǎo; not being killed outright was already lucky, and now he actually dares to dream of joining the Sect?

The two disciples exchanged glances, seeing the same thought in each other's eyes; their gazes remained icy, full of contempt and disdain.

One disciple let out a cold snort, not hiding his disgust, and said:

"Hmph, did the fight just now knock you stupid? Do you think our Dao One Immortal Sect would want someone like you?"

Zuo Jue wasn't angry at the two disciples' mockery; he clearly knew whether he could join the Sect wasn't up to them. So he responded bluntly:

"It's not up to you to decide whether I'm wanted; I want to see Ye Zhangqing."

Zuo Jue didn't want to waste more time with these two disciples; after all, they were just minor gate guards, and the real authority lay with Ye Zhangqing.

So he decided to bypass these two stumbling blocks and go directly to see Ye Zhangqing.

Regarding Zuo Jue's request, the two disciples were reluctant but dared not make the decision themselves.

After all, although Zuo Jue looked down-and-out, who knew if he wasn't simple; if they provoked someone they shouldn't have, they couldn't bear the responsibility.

After a brief hesitation, the two disciples still chose to first go and report to Ye Zhangqing.

As for whether Ye Zhangqing would see Zuo Jue, that was beyond their control.

Inside the cave dwelling, upon learning that Zuo Jue had returned and even wanted to see him in person, Ye Zhangqing was suspicious.

"He's back again?"

"Yes, and he even declared he wants to join the Dao One Immortal Sect."

"Huh???"

As soon as he said that, Ye Zhangqing grew even more suspicious. He still wants to join the Dao One Immortal Sect? What is this guy thinking, looking for trouble for no reason?

At first he didn't agree, but after being refused, Zuo Jue didn't leave; instead he stood guard outside the mountain gate, saying he would wait until Ye Zhangqing agreed to see him.

As for this, the disciples guarding the mountain gate could do nothing; first, they dared not act against Zuo Jue.

Besides, his father is an unparalleled expert; hurting Zuo Jue is beyond their capacity, let alone killing him.

Moreover, Zuo Jue had no other actions; since that's the case, let him wait if he wants to.

For three straight days, Zuo Jue did not leave, and when Ye Zhangqing heard the news, he also frowned.

"Still not gone?"

"Yeah, it's been three days; this kid looks like he's serious, I estimate he won't leave without seeing you, and besides, his father hasn't gone far—he's right in Wuji Xiancheng."
