Red Envelope Group of the Three Realms

Yue Changkong forced a smile.

Obviously, he hated Chen Xiaobei's guts. Because he was standing before tens of thousands of people, he put on an impartial, magnanimous front.

If he wrangled with Chen Xiaobei now, he would be accused of being petty. It was not easy winning people's hearts and it could be easily lost just like that.

Hence, the primary goal now was to recruit Tai Yitan, Wu Aofeng, and Huo Yuanba.

As for the 3,000 Spiritual Stones, from Yue Changkong's perspective, was just passing through Chen Xiaobei's hands. No ordinary man could use up so many Spiritual Stones in a short period of time.

After today, they would still have a chance to take it back from Chen Xiaobei!

After making his calculations, Yue Changkong ignored Chen Xiaobei and smiled cheerfully, waiting for Tai Yitan's reply.

"I'm sorry!" Tai Yitan did not even need half a second to think before answering, "I won't join Mount Hua Faction!"

"Huh…" Yue Changkong was furious!

What was the meaning of this?

Why was he rejected again?

How could this be? This was just too ridiculous!

Even those watching were struck dumb. The ancient factions had extended an invitation! How could one just reject it just like that?

Su Dongrup thought for a while and said, "Then, would you be willing to join Green Town Faction? I will endorse you…"

"I'm not!"

Before Su Dongruo could finish his proposal, Tai Yitan cut him off and straight up rejected him.

"You…" Su Dongruo wanted to speak but kept his mouth shut; his face stung from the rejection.

"Tai Yitan! Chen Xiaobei's rejected our offer because he already has his own faction. Tell us, what is your reason?" Yue Changkong asked solemnly.

The crowd pricked up their ears, eager to get to the bottom of why Tai Yitan rejected both ancient faction's invitations to join their faction.

Even Luo Puti was eager to know.

"My reason is very simple!" Tai Yitan fell on one knee and put his hands together and said ceremoniously, "I've already joined Bei Xuan Faction and my Sifu is Chen Xiaobei!"

"What???"

Tai Yitan's one simple sentence blew the minds of the crowd!

Yue Changkong's and Su Dongruo's eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.

Luo Puti stared open-mouthed. Her tiny brain whirring, her thoughts temporarily short-circuited.

The crowd exploded in a heated discussion.

"What the heck! Am I imagining things? Tai Yitan refused to call the faction leaders of Mount Hua Faction and Green Town Faction his Sifu. Instead, he chooses to call Chen Xiaobei his Sifu! This is insane!

"Where in the world is Bei Xuan Faction? Could it be better than Mount Hua Faction and Green Town Faction that are built upon ground that is filled with Spiritual Qi?!"

"Wow! To reject two ancient factions for Bei Xuan Faction! He's trading money for magic peas!"

...

The crowd murmured incessantly, looking at Tai Yitan like he had lost half his brain.

Who else but a retard would turn down this golden opportunity?

"Huo Tuanba! Wu Aofeng!" Yue Changkong took in a deep breath and asked sourly, "You two won't be rejecting our faction, would you?"

Both Huo Yuanba and Wu Aofeng fell down their knee, put their hands together, and said, "We are the disciples of Bei Xuan Faction. Our Sifu is Chen Xiaobei, how could we possibly join other factions?"

"What? They are also Chen Xiaobei's disciples?"

"Wu Aofeng and Huo Yuanba are also Chen Xiaobei's disciples? My goodness…am I dreaming?"

"Who the hell is this Chen Xiaobei? Tai Yitan, Wu Aofeng, and Huo Yuanba—these three are the top geniuses of the century! Why would they willingly follow a kid in his twenties?!"

"Who would've thought that the top four winners of this round's martial arts competition belong to Bei Xuan Faction!

"What is it about Bei Xuan Faction that is so alluring? This is really unbelievable!"

Once again, the crowd rambled on.

If it were Tai Yitan alone who had joined Bei Xuan Faction, they could simply count him as naïve.

But now, all three of them made the same decision!

This could only mean that Bei Xuan Faction was really special!

"I wonder if I would be able to join Bei Xuan Faction?"

"Once this is over, I will inquire! I have a feeling that joining this faction will provide me with a bright future!"

"Count me in! I will go and enquire about when the martial arts competition is over!"

The audience's attitude had changed drastically. They had wondered if Tai Yitan had lost his mind; but now they were speculating if they would stand a chance to be a part of the faction.

"Is…is…is this real…" Luo Puti gaped, stood on the ground, unmoved.

She was still making head or tail of the situation—the three prodigies, Tai Yitan, Huo Yuanba, and Wu Aofeng that she used to idolize were now all Chen Xiaobei's disciple!

"I had misjudged Chen Xiaobei…"

Luo Puti bit her red lip, deep in thoughts. Her heart was shaken. Then a thought crept into her mind, should she join Bei Xuan Faction?

*Blurgh!*

Raged boiled so violently inside Yue Changkong that he vomited blood.

The one thing that he could not accept was losing all the resources and talented individuals.

At this moment, the 5,000 Spiritual Stones had all been given out. But there was not a single talent joining his faction!

But there was something else that deeply disturbed him.

He had spent a fortune in terms of money, material, manpower, and time but at the end of the day, all he did was help advertise Bei Xuan Faction!

All it took was one competition and nearly 9,999 people wanted to join Bei Xuan Faction.

Through word of mouth, from one person to another, Bei Xuan Faction would be known all over China!

All that he Yue Changkong had worked so hard for ended up benefitting Chen Xiaobei!

He would become the laughing stock of elites in Jianghu! Which meant that, other than losing all the resources and talented people, Yue Changkong had lost face—in fact, the entire Mount Hua Faction had lost every last shred of face and dignity!

If you were to count Yue Junmo who was defeated by Chen Xiaobei, Yue Changkong had lost four valuable things: talent, Spiritual Stones, face, and a son!

His only luck was in not having died from all this anger.

"Faction Leader let me help you!" Zhuang Bihuang ran up the platform to give support to the crumbling Yue Changkong.

"I want to kill them… I must kill them…"

There was a streak of blood in the corner of Yue Changkong's lips.

Zhuang Bihuang quickly advised, "Faction leader, you must stay calm. If you do anything rash now, we now not be able to take revenge!"

"That's right! Irrationality would be damaging!" Liu Xiyuan quickly agreed.

Situ Hengfeng also nodded, "Faction Leader Yue don't do anything rash. Chen Xiaobei is not someone you can afford to offend!"

"What? I am the Faction Leader of Mount Hua Faction! How can I not afford to do that? I… I... blarghhhh…"

Yue Changkong spat blood.
