Chapter 424 A Small Favor (1/2)

”W-Wait… Let's not be so hasty. You haven't even given me a chance to explain the benefits…” Gu Tan immediately began panicking, as he didn't expect to be rejected so quickly.

”I don't need to hear the benefits because I won't join the Gu Family no matter what you offer me. Sorry.” Yuan rejected him once again, this time being more stern, even a little brutal.

Gu Tan began sweating profusely after hearing this, and he asked, ”C-Can I at least ask why you're refusing us? Did you already join another family?”

”No. I just don't want to join any families, especially the Seven Legacy Families.” Yuan answered.

Gu Tan wondered if one of the Seven Legacy Families had offended him.

”I-It seems like something has happened between one of the Seven Legacy Families and you, but I can promise you that our Gu Family is different.” Gu Tan tried a different approach.

However, Yuan still shook his head and said, ”Don't bother. I won't join.”

And without waiting for Gu Tan to respond, Yuan walked around him and continued his journey to Xuan Wuhan's living quarters.

Of course, Gu Tan wasn't willing to give up so easily, as his parents had assigned him to recruit Yuan with his head on the line.

Thus, he proceeded to follow Yuan and continue to try and recruit him.

”What do you desire, Disciple Yuan? Do you want wealth? Fame? Power? The Gu Family will do everything in their power to fulfill your dreams. If needed, we'll even get the Gu Family from the Spirit Heaven to help.”

”I desire for you to leave me alone now. If you cannot do even such a simple thing, what makes you think you can help me with the other stuff?” Yuan said to him.

Gu Tan was speechless, and he immediately stopped following Yuan after hearing his response.

'Looks like I will have to give up for now and ask him again later. Maybe he's just in a bad mood.' Gu Tan tried to soothe himself.

About ten minutes after Gu Tan left Yuan alone, another individual blocked his path.

This time, it was a pretty young lady around Min Li's age.

”Hello, are you Disciple Yuan?” The young lady greeted him with a beautiful smile on her face.

”I am. How can I help you?”

”I'm Xue Yixin, and I was wondering if you have some time to spare so we can talk.” This young lady spoke with an enchanting expression on her face.

”What do you want to talk about? I'm busy right now, so we'll have to do it later.”

”Are you sure you can't delay it for me? It won't take long… Or it can take as long as you want it to…” This young lady then slightly lowered her body whilst spreading the clothes around her neck, revealing two large peaks without showing everything.

Meixiu frowned when she saw this, and she quickly grabbed Yuan's arm before pulling him away.

”Let's go, Yuan. This girl is a dangerous one,” she said to him.

When Xue Yixin saw this, she quickly chased after them and said, ”W-Wait! I'm not someone suspicious! I'm from the Xue Family, one of the Seven Legacy Families!”

Xue Yixin hoped that her background would change the situation, but to her surprise, it only made the situation worse.

”Sorry, but if you're here to recruit me to the Xue Family, I will have to decline. I have already refused to join the Gu Family a few minutes ago. My decision won't change now even if you're from a different family.” Yuan stopped for a moment to reject her before walking again.

”Uhh…”

The young lady was speechless, and she stood there like a statue with a dazed expression on her face.
