“May I ask the few of you what these flowers represent?” Lonemoon could not help himself.
The woman replied, “The two of you are new here, so you might not know. The water on this plane is known as the New Water Mirror. It has the ability to reflect a manager’s true form. The flowers that it sprouts show the manager’s powers. The lighter the colour of the flowers, the higher the cultivation of the manager walking atop the water surface. It is the first time we’re seeing the water body sprout white flowers like yours.” Among the 16 people they have received so far, not one of them had white flowers.
Were their leg auras really that useful?
Lonemoon turned to face Chef, a strange expression on his face. Were their skills as managers considered so high? He did not think so at all! What’s more, if it was true that the higher the manager’s skills, the lighter the colour of the flowers, why was it that there were no flowers behind Shen Ying as she walked?
Perhaps their leg aura… Ah pui! Because of the flowers, the 16 people seemed to be looking at them much more kindly. Even Tu Zhi, who was treating them with contempt earlier, shut up.
“It looks like we should congratulate both of you in advance for becoming one of us,” the woman was becoming warmer and warmer toward them.
Lonemoon held himself back from turning her down immediately. Of course he had no intentions of joining this so-called Big Dao Organization. It was obvious that this was not an upright organization.
But the Fang lady they met earlier was right. There was no need to conflict with them, even if they were not afraid of them. What’s more, these people had their own planes backing them. If they joined forces to deal with Lonemoon, Yi QIng and Shen Ying, who knew what could happen? This was also why Lonemoon and the others had decided to make a trip down here instead of turning back to go home. Since they were already here, Lonemoon decided to just act interested in joining the organization.
“With your powers and skills, it’s no wonder that you so easily passed the test,” the woman continued. She raised her hand and conjured a seal. “As long as Boss Yu Heng… Eh?” She suddenly paused.
“What’s the matter?” Seeing that her expression had gone awry, the person beside her asked.
“The small testing world is gone!”
Everybody stiffened and their expressions changed as well. They all looked once again to the people in the middle. Their warm expressions became icy.
The woman scanned the two of them from head to toe and said in a low voice, “Managers, I sensed that the small world we normally use for testing has left our radius of control and disappeared without a trace. Can you please tell me what happened after you passed the test?”
It’s coming!
Lonemoon stared blankly back at her with a confused expression. “Test? May I know what you mean when you say “test”?” He was careful to look like he did not understand a word she was saying. “Must we still pass a test in order to join this organization?”
“You didn’t go through the test?” The woman scanned him from head to toe suspiciously. “Then how did you get here?”
“Of course we followed the aura in your invitation!” Lonemoon retrieved the red ribbon that he had prepared earlier. He regulated his immortal Qi, then sent it floating toward the woman.
The woman took it. Immediately, her expression darkened.
The manager Tu Zhi who was beside her caught on to something. He burst into laughter, “Ha ha ha… I really thought that the two of you managed to pass the test so quickly. So you didn’t even take the test!” Once he finished speaking, he turned to the woman and said, “Xiao Yun, how could you mess even something as small as this up? I’m going to watch how you’ll explain yourself when Boss comes.”
“You-” The woman was enraged. She shot a glare at Tu Zhi, then turned back to Lonemoon and Yi Qing with resentment. There was not a shred of warmth left in her eyes. “How does everyone think we should deal with this? Should we accept them or not?”
