3 Elders are high right now, arenst they? (1/2)

A cacophony of birdsong resounded through the otherwise serene mountain.

Accompanying those chirps were the sound of galloping hooves and the plashing platter of steady rain on the numerous young entrants steadily moving towards the entrance of the Immortal Divinity Sect.

Although all these entrants seemed to be heading in the same direction, a closer look would reveal that there was a separation of group between them

Youths in rich clothing could be seen riding on handsome steads and cheerfully talking with each other as they ignored the other people walking on foot.

The people walking in foot could be seen to have formed their own clique, where they ignored the other people wearing poor clothes.

People wearing poor rags could be seen walking in separation. For they had faced and lived the worst of mankind.

While none of the upper groups were vocal regarding their statuses for fear that some of the people in the lower position may rise to become a disciple, there was a tacit understanding that until that time came, they were different from them.

This was the truth of the mortal world and soon this would be the truth of their immortal journey.

The only difference being that their currency would switch to their innate talent or their backing.

Among those walking in isolation was a figure whose face was riddled with scars and had a skinny physique which was so malnourished that it was hard to determine its gender.

Looking at the separation of group formed naturally among themselves, the figure had a certain thought.

'Sure enough, Human nature is hard to change.'

...….

(MC's POV)

People often say that dreams are nice, and reality is cruel.

However, I would like to assert that the alarm clocks which rob us of the very ability to dream are even crueler.

”-Elder Fan, wouldn't you agree?”

Almost by reflex, I replied.

”Damn, right.”

Shit.

Immediately after I said those words, a few sounds of gasp could be heard from the surrounding.

Even my superior who just asked me the question opened his eyes in shock.

Oops, I forgot that I was in the mortal plane where my image is of an icy cold master whose words are as heavy as gold.

Well, the die has been cast and it is not like I can control time, so I will just keep on maintaining my cool image for now. (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*)

In case you are wondering, the reason I am here with these fogies (they are younger than him mentally) is because I ended up losing my epic showdown against the speaker badge.

The speaker badge was a formidable foe. It even obliterated my famed sleeping technique like it was nothing.

So, after agonizing over my defeat for an hour and maintaining my looks for four, I finally decided to watch over the trial.

Of course, if I knew that this would happen, I would not have come.

Still…

Just how long are these guys going to act shocked and look at my face like that?

I agree that I am cool, dashing, and handsome, but this is too much.

And you, Elder Lan. Why are you looking like you want to eat me up?

Stop it. You are bringing my trauma of Orcs back.

Perhaps noticing my awkward situation, peak master Lin Fen (my direct superior) lightly coughed and tried to divert the topic.

”So, whom do you guys have your eyes on?”

Immediately after he said those words, the elders finally stopped paying attention to me and started a heated discussion among themselves.

”The son of the Sunfire City Lord is a good seedling. It is rumored that he was born with innate strength attribute.”

”What about the daughter of the Phoenix City. It is rumored that she has a trace of phoenix bloodline in her veins.”
