Shangguan Qingyun was stunned when he heard this.

He couldn’t understand why Jiang Yiming would suddenly say something like this.

Not to mention that this was their first time meeting and they didn’t know each other very well, just the fact that he was being chased by someone and had only escaped here by accident, anyone with a normal brain wouldn’t want to get involved in such matters.

After all, if there was one Core Formation Realm cultivator pursuing him, who knew if there would be a second or a third?

Getting involved with a person of unknown origin like him for no reason was just looking for trouble.

No matter what, Jiang Yiming was the person who saved his life, thus he didn’t want to involve Jiang Yiming in his troublesome matters.

As such, Shangguan Qingyun shook his head and said with a wry smile, “I appreciate your kindness, but please forgive me for not being fated to be your disciple.”

“Oh? Young master Shangguan, are you looking down on me?” Jiang Yiming frowned and said unhappily.

Shangguan Qingyun had to explain quickly, “You have misunderstood me. I have no other choice. Your cultivation realm is outstanding, and I’m just a weakling. I wouldn’t even dare to form ties with someone powerful like you. How could I be looking down on you?”

Jiang Yiming looked at his expression and felt that Shangguan Qingyun didn’t seem to be lying, so he nodded and asked again, “I don’t know what your difficulties are. Why don’t you tell me? Maybe I can even solve this matter for you.”

Hearing this, Shangguan Qingyun was instantly stunned, but his expression was soon filled with bitterness.

How could this matter be so simple? The Core Formation Realm cultivator was someone his family had sent to take his life!

Although Jiang Yiming could easily take care of an early-stage Core Formation Realm cultivator, Shangguan Qingyun still didn’t think that he had the strength to solve the trouble behind his back.

One had to know that the cultivation of a Core Formation Fealm was only considered to be in the middle range in his family.

Even the Nascent Soul Realm couldn’t be considered a higher up in his family.

Any Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could easily take down a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

Therefore, Shangguan Qingyun guessed that Jiang Yiming might be in the Nascent Soul Realm. Such strength wasn’t enough to make his family pay attention to him.

If he really joined Jiang Yiming’s sect, it would only bring him the disaster of having his entire sect exterminated!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Qingyun’s expression became resolute.

He said seriously, “Sir, you don’t have to say anymore. This matter involves too many people and details. You don’t have to get involved in this mess. Moreover, my meridians have long been severed. It is already a blessing from Heaven that I have my current cultivation realm. I don’t dare to presumptuously hope that I can continue to cultivate. This is already enough.”

All cultivators knew that if their meridians were severed, they would be no different from a cripple.

Shangguan Qingyun felt that since he had told him of such a secret, Jiang Yiming would give up on his idea no matter what.

Who would have thought that Jiang Yiming’s regretful expression that he expected to appear didn’t show at all?

On the contrary, there seemed to be a trace of excitement in Jiang Yiming’s eyes.

Shangguan Qingyun was instantly puzzled and confused.

Indeed, Jiang Yiming was immediately excited after hearing his words.

One had to know that those who had their meridians completely severed were even inferior to ordinary people.

Under such circumstances, Shangguan Qingyun was still able to reach the middle-stage of the Qi Meditation Realm by relying on hard work.

Jiang Yiming could already imagine how monstrous his talent was.

Instantly, his determination to take in Shangguan Qingyun as his disciple became even more firm.

As for the matter of his meridians being completely severed, others might have no way to help, but he might have.

After all, he was someone with a system!

Jiang Yiming shook his head and said without a care, “You don’t have to worry. Maybe I can even restore your meridians. Besides, if I can’t, it’s fine too. My sect can support you for a lifetime.”

Shangguan Qingyun really didn’t expect Jiang Yiming to say these words. For a moment, he was quite touched.

However, he only thought that Jiang Yiming was comforting him. After all, it was impossible to restore one’s meridians unless the restorer was a god.

The more Jiang Yiming was so indifferent, the more Shangguan Qingyun didn’t want to be a burden to him.

He sighed lightly. He felt that it was getting late, and the people who were chasing him were probably arriving soon.

He no longer hesitated, cupped his hands and said, “Sir, I really don’t dare to agree to this matter. I still have something to do. I’ll take my leave first. Goodbye!”

After saying this, he didn’t wait for Jiang Yiming’s reply and directly disappeared on the spot.

Jiang Yiming didn’t stop him. He just looked at Shangguan Qingyun’s back and couldn’t help but ponder.

It was very much apparent to him that Shangguan Qingyun’s background was very complicated.

There were only two possibilities for the force that was pursuing him to send a Core Formation Realm cultivator to do so.

Either Shangguan Qingyun had some secret that they were determined to obtain, or that force had many experts, and a Core Formation Realm expert was unimportant to the point this was their job.

No matter which possibility it was, Shangguan Qingyun was definitely not a simple person.

Or rather, he had a huge problem with him!

Shangguan Qingyun probably refused to be his disciple because he did not want to get him into trouble.

At least, all his meridians being severed was probably not the main reason why he refused to become his disciple.

Because from the change in his expression just now, Jiang Yiming knew that Shangguan Qingyun was a little tempted.

However, he seemed to have thought of something later and suddenly refused with a firm expression.

Jiang Yiming knew that this was probably because he didn’t want to implicate himself.

“Not bad, he’s a good seedling. His talent is good, but his character is rare too. Now, I’m more and more interested in him,” Jiang Yiming muttered to himself, laughed softly, and then flashed out of the restaurant.

Shangguan Qingyun seemed to be deliberately hiding something, and very cleverly hid in the crowd.

If it weren’t for Jiang Yiming’s strong perception, he would have successfully escaped.

Looking at his back from afar, Jiang Yiming laughed proudly.

Without any hesitation, he used the Breath Concealing Technique and caught up with Shangguan Qingyun.

The Breath Concealing Technique was a secret technique he had obtained a few days ago. It could conceal his aura and make it impossible for others to detect him.

Unless someone was a whole realm higher than him, it was absolutely impossible for them to detect him!

Therefore, Jiang Yiming didn’t have to worry at all that Shangguan Qingyun would discover that he was following him.

The people in the restaurant heaved a heavy sigh of relief when they saw that the two of them had left.

“Oh my God, they’ve finally left.”

“Exactly. If that person doesn’t leave, I won’t even dare to breathe loudly. It’s really too terrifying!”

“That person probably has the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, right?”

“Nonsense. To be able to defeat a Core Formation Realm expert with a single finger, what can he be other than a Nascent Soul expert?”

“But why would such a figure appear in Ancient Moon City? Could it be that something major is about to happen?”

For a moment, everyone suddenly felt uneasy in their hearts, as if a storm was about to come.

They left the restaurant in a hurry.
