Chapter 330: Arrangements (2/2)
“Sure.” Chen Wentian said, maintaining a straight face.
Zhu Yao’er nodded and started, “Our abbotesses have sent word. Their mission to hunt down and kill Abbotess Liang has hit a delay. They tracked her to the border region of the Northern Wasteland but that’s where the trail disappeared. They believe that she is hiding somewhere, trying to heal herself.”
“They still want to kill her?” He asked.
“Yes, they will keep at it for two more weeks at least. Because of this delay, we won’t be able to convene at Ten Thousand Flower Valley. They have instructed us to begin Long Yifei’s initiation and we can have a formal ceremony at a later date.”
“That’s fine.” He agreed. He didn’t want them visiting his sect in the first place. He would have to hide Jasmine and it would be a hassle.
Zhu Yao’er fished out a small spatial bag and handed it to Long Yifei, “This contains the introductory instructions for our order. It includes rules, customs, basic history, and other information. It also includes things that an acolyte may learn…”
She smirked, “Including how to properly take off our attire.”
Chen Wentian snorted indignantly but he had to admit that he was interested.
“Does everyone get a spatial bag? Your order is quite prosperous.” He asked.
Gui Li spoke up, “Not quite. Long Yifei is special Those at the lower levels are not given such treatment.”
“About her divine daughter status...”
“Your concerns are the same as ours and we have well prepared for it.” Gui Li said, “The statuses of holy daughter and divine daughter are too special and the truth of their talent evaluation is only known to a select few. Long Yifei will enter the order with a nominal status as a sacred daughter and so will other holy daughters. Those with higher talents will eventually reveal themselves but having everyone enter the order as sacred daughters provides a sense of unity in the beginning.”
“The sacred daughters are taught by the order in a school system. They all attend a school together for nine months out of the year. The other three months, they are allowed to travel the lands to gain experience and complete various tasks. As for their acolytes, there are no requirements for their attendance but they are responsible for helping the daughters learn and improve. A good acolyte can greatly increase a daughter’s progress while a bad acolyte will only hinder her.”
Both immortals shot pointed looks toward Chen Wentian, as if daring him to slack off in his task of being Long Yifei’s acolyte. He felt a bit insulted but chose not to say anything.
“Anyway,” Zhu Yao’er said, “The new school year for the School of Brilliance in the Martial Brilliance Continent just happens to start in a month and a half. We will arrange for Long Yifei and you to travel there for the opening ceremony and for her to be officially inducted into the order. In the meantime, we will remain here to provide any assistance she may need.”
“…”
Chen Wentian didn’t know what to say. Since he had chosen this path, there was not much he could do except nod his head and accept the arrangements.
The good thing was that their system of teaching sounded reasonable. He couldn’t find any fault with it. A school system gave him plenty of freedom and Long Yifei wouldn’t be alone by herself forever. She would still have plenty of opportunities to reunite with her fellow disciples. Her bond with Ten Thousand Flower Valley would not be cut off and that was enough for him.
