"Do you deserve it?"
Xiao Yi looked coldly at Shang Duxing, responding neither humbly nor haughtily.
Even though Shang Duxing promised that if he bowed his head and accepted him as his master,
not only would he become Shang Duxing's direct disciple, one of the supreme masters above the two Sages of the Supreme Sect, but his entire faction would also receive the sect's protection.
Even when the Unharmed Heaven Realm launched a large-scale invasion in the future, taking control of the Qingtian Realm, he and the Xiaoshanhe Institute could still be protected.
Safe and sound!
It seemed like having all benefits without any harm!
But...
Xiao Yi still decisively chose to refuse!
Because he knew.
Even with Shang Duxing's strength that could protect him and the Xiaoshanhe Institute, he absolutely could not, nor would he ever, protect the entire Qingtian Realm.
Scholars strive to cultivate virtue when poor and help the world when prosperous!
