The guests each took their seats, chatting pleasantly.
The two Foundation Establishment juniors, led by Zhang Jiadi, had gone outside to explore.
Inside, after some pleasantries, the conversation gradually shifted to the main topic.
"Qingyang Zi, I, Huo Fang, represent Wu Zhong Valley in inviting you to join our sect. Of course, if you prefer, the Tianqu Chen Family and Coral Sea Zhou Family can also be options for you." Huo Fang spoke earnestly.
The answer he received, however, was an unequivocal rejection.
"Apologies, I've always been accustomed to independence and cannot bear the constraints of a sect. Huo Daoist, I appreciate your goodwill."
Huo Fang wasn't surprised by this answer. Years ago, Mo Yun Cave Lord had rejected him in a similar manner. Still, he wanted to try his best.
"Won't you at least hear the terms we're offering?"
Luo Chen chuckled, "Better not, otherwise your terms might be so enticing I won't be able to resist."
