Chapter 370: Chapter 370 Inquiring about the Hehuan Sect!

"Chen Lu, with your strength, joining a third-rate sect is a sure thing, but in my opinion, you could even try for a second-rate sect!"

"That’s right, I think so too. Second-rate sects like Qingyun Sect, Heavenly Profound Sect, and Myriad Beasts Sect would all be quite suitable!"

"The key point is, these sects are easy to find, and they don’t care about one’s background, only one’s talent!"

"Does Chen Lu’s talent even need to be mentioned? I remember Ming Ru said that when he entered the academy, he was only in the Bone Refinement Realm! How much time has passed? Not even a year!"

Watching these teachers flatter so fervently, Lu Chen’s heart was like a clear mirror; they were just spouting niceties to appease him.

Go to a second-rate sect?

It was indeed a possibility.

But joining a second-rate sect was not so easy!

Qin Yaotiao, with her Heaven’s Mandate physique, might have a chance to be directly selected!

What was his talent?

If it weren’t for the bloodline of the Hatetian Clan, he might never step onto the Immortal Cultivation Path in his lifetime!

The hardest thing for a person to achieve is self-awareness.

So, Lu Chen’s choice was to enter a third-rate sect!

However, talking to them about this was actually to gather information about the Hehuan Sect!

Otherwise, going there blind would be like walking into death’s embrace, wouldn’t it?

But oddly, they had not mentioned the Hehuan Sect, which was a surprise to Lu Chen.

He knew early on that Qingyun Sect was in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Xuanji Sect was merely a branch of Qingyun Sect.

Beyond that, Lu Chen knew nothing at all.

And as for the so-called Heavenly Profound Sect and Myriad Beasts Sect, he had just heard of them for the first time.

Lu Chen feigned contemplation, then asked, "What about Hehuan Sect?"

His question changed the complexion of the entire assembly.

Lu Chen of course noticed this, which clearly indicated that these people had heard of it as well.

"Chen Lu, sects like Hehuan Sect that rely on male and female Dual Cultivation as their technique are better avoided!"

"Nonsense," someone countered, "where you can enjoy pleasures and also cultivate, isn’t that the best of both worlds?"

"Hehe... that’s because you don’t know. If Chen Lu were a woman, entering the Hehuan Sect would naturally be good. But since he is a man, it’s not going to be so simple!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen’s interest was piqued, and he raised an eyebrow to ask, "How so?"

Seeing Lu Chen’s expression, the teacher perked up and eagerly shared, "Chen Lu, I just happen to know a little about the Hehuan Sect! Within the sect, women are revered over men, and it is said that during that particular act, men must take the lower position!"

Lu Chen’s expression suddenly turned cold as he said, "Let’s not stray off-topic, please!"

The teacher immediately felt a chill, realizing he had gotten ahead of himself, and quickly became serious, saying, "Within Hehuan Sect, female cultivators dominate. Although there are male cultivators, they have no status until they reach the Core Formation Stage! In other words, female disciples have a higher status and can freely choose a male disciple to cultivate with. But male disciples don’t have that choice, unless they have reached the Core Formation Stage!"

With that explanation, Lu Chen understood.

Originally, he was quite worried that Qin Yaotiao would be taken advantage of.

But after hearing this information from the teacher, he felt somewhat relieved.

It seems that Qin Yaotiao didn’t know what the Hehuan Sect was like, which is why she agreed to join.

Even, she might have been coerced by some of those at the Core Formation Stage.

However, this situation would definitely change after arriving at the Hehuan Sect.

And...

With Qin Yaotiao’s talent, it’s likely that ordinary disciples weren’t worthy to Dual Cultivate with her!

Thinking this, a sharp light flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes.

Perhaps, he could take this angle to join the Hehuan Sect!

As long as nobody knew he was the one who killed Chen Gaoshang and Yan Zhiyi, it would be fine!

All that was left was to wait for the teacher who would bring Shang Qing over to him.

Meanwhile.

The teacher also found Shang Qing.

"You’re saying Chen Lu is looking for me?"

Shang Qing’s entire body shook, and he became visibly agitated.

Why hadn’t he joined the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, and why had he come back to the Heavenly Book Academy?

"Shang Qing, what’s wrong?"

Seeing his reaction, the teacher worried that Lu Chen had come to seek revenge and asked with concern.

"No... nothing," Shang Qing took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, I can’t go see that Chen Lu!"

"Have you wronged him?"

The teacher’s expression changed.

"Teacher, don’t speak nonsense in order to avoid bringing disaster upon yourself!"

Shang Qing pondered for a moment and then said, "If I flee now, I’ll most likely die either way. At this critical moment, I can only go and see, to bet on a chance, maybe there is hope!"

"You..."

The teacher hesitated, holding back what he wanted to say.

Shang Qing spoke with a grave voice, "Teacher, please go to my family and deliver this letter to my father!"

He produced a letter sealed with wax and handed it to the teacher. Afterward, he resolutely left.
