Ultimate Scheming System

Ultimate Scheming System Chapter 50

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 60 act tough points!"

The system rang out within Xu Que's mind.

Su Yun Lan stood outside his window and paused in shock. She didn't expect Xu Que to flat out reject her this way.

"I wonder if my Daoist friend Xu can tell me the reason for his answer?" She asked warily.

Reason?

Damn... Do you expect me to tell you that the reason was because I have to kill many more people and demonic beasts in order to increase my level? Or should I say that I need to continue acting tough in order to become rich? If I agree to stay here, won't that mean that I'm contented with falling behind?

What a joke. Do I, Xu Que, look like someone who's contented with falling behind and remaining stagnant?

Nobody can ever stand between me and acting tough!

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Que's face still emitted a radiant smile as he replied, "Talents and success are rewards of hard work and constant pursuit. A good and proper man knows this and would do as such. I've been to the four corners of the world and I enjoy my adventures tremendously. Sect Leader asked me to stay behind and be a Sect Elder. That would be equivalent to breaking my wings and crippling me."

Su Yun Lan was dumbfounded. She was clearly in shock.

Talents and success are rewards of hard work and constant pursuit. A good and proper man knows this and would do as such!

What an interesting thing to say!

"It surprised me that Daoist friend Xu is so elegant and refined in speech. Looks like I was presumptuous and blunt. Since my friend Xu objects, I shouldn't force him as well." Su Yun Lan gave a bitter smile, her eyes exhibited confusion.

She initially thought that Xu Que was just a glib tongued, lazy rogue cultivator but wasn't a bad person. Besides, she knew that he was quite powerful as well. If only he would agree to stay here in Great Change Sect, he would probably be able to lift the sect to new heights.

She didn't expect to hear such flowery and refined words from him as if he was a poetic scholar of sorts, full of confidence in his linguistic abilities. Especially that line about doing what was right as an upright man, which really took her by surprise.

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 50 act tough points!"

After receiving the system beep which sounded out in his head, he gave a cheeky smile. He didn't expect that the common phrase used back in his modern world was so uncommon here and even managed to impress her. This was going to be good for acting tough.

He looked at Su Yun Lan and continued, "Sect Leader Su thinks too highly of me. Actually, someone like me who's so unlimitedly cool and outrageously stubborn is not suitable to stay here at a sect. Having me around would bring problems to the Sect. Hence I have to kindly refuse Sect Leader's good intention."

"Chi-chi!" Su Yun Lan couldn't help but let out a soft giggle as she covered her mouth.

Unlimitedly cool and outrageously stubborn?

She's never heard of anyone describing themselves that way. This Xu Que was such a strange person.

She then continued, "My Daoist friend Xu is indeed not like an average person. It's just that you seem like an outrageously stubborn person on the surface but is warm on the inside. You're not cool or cold at all!"
