As expected, a few days later, Huo Zun and Li Changmei came to pay a visit. Although they spoke in a roundabout way, in the end, they still brought up the matter of picking sides.
"These past few years, Thunder Cauldron and his lot have been in power, withholding our resource shares—especially cultivators like Fellow Daoist Lu, who don't have anyone backing them."
"Daoist, haven't you thought it through yet?"
Lu Chang'sheng shook his head and politely declined their invitation.
Huo Zun and Li Changmei bore no grudge against Lu Chang'sheng; as long as he didn't side with Thunder Cauldron's faction, they were still friends.
He walked them to the door and watched them head in the direction of Zhong Ming's courtyard.
"Probably won't work out either," he thought.
Zhong Ming was devoted to cultivation, and when it came to these power struggles, his view was much like Ziyou's, so it was impossible for him to get involved.
