The Black Dune sect patriarch and the Light Harmony sect patriarch looked on at Lin Mu with anticipation while the rest did the same. To them, there was no reason why Lin Mu would deny an offer like this.
Any of the three sects would be a good option, though the people belonging to each of the sect hoped that Lin Mu would join them. All of them could see the value in him joining them, but at the same time felt a little envious that the position of the patriarch after that would be all but gone for them.
Even if these elders didn't have that great of a chance of becoming the patriarch, one could always dream. Once that was taken away entirely, it was a cold splash that would rudely awaken them from the dream, which wasn't exactly comfortable.
"I… Reject." Lin Mu firmly stated.
"WHAT?!"
"HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?"
"This is absurd!"
"Has he gone mad?"
