Chapter 11-Three Pure Sec (1/2)
t
Xiao Yifan noticed his son's bad look and asked carefully, ”What's wrong?”
Xiao Chen recovered his sense and forced a smile. ”Nothing.” At this moment, he didn't know why he felt like he had lost his soul. This was not a coincidence but someone's arrangement.
”Master, let's go. Don't let the Immortal wait for too long.”
Lil Ruo had packed their stuff. She would follow Xiao Chen as a maid. She would neither join the Three Pure Sect nor take the test.
Xiao Chen nodded and walked to her when Su Qing called him to stop. She sighed and took out something like a badge.
”I know I can't talk you out of this now. Be careful out there. If some senior made things difficult for you, just show him this thing.”
Xiao Chen took over the badge and did not know what it was made of. Also, it was carved with a super complex pattern that he did not know of. He nodded and said, ”Okay. Mother, trust me, I'll be fine.”
...
Many elders in the Fly Cloud Hall were very courteous to a youth in white who was at his 20s. He carried a long sword on his back and sat still on a chair. He nodded to the maid who sent him a cup of tea and looked very punctilious.
Many people had crowded outside the hall. Xiao Wan'er had a beaming face. She wore a pink dress today and looked like a little princess adored by people. A youth in teal clothes stood beside her, and he was about the same age as Xiao Chen. He looked cold and kept silent as if he were a piece of 10,000-year-ice. His name was Xiao Han.
Xiao Chen walked into the hall and greeted that senior brother from the Three Pure Sect. Then, they were about to set off.
A dozen elders and many Xiao Family disciples saw them off at the mountain gate. Xiao Wan'er turned around and waved to the crowd, saying, ”Go home, my friends! See you!”
The youth in white also turned around and said with a warm smile, ”Seniors of the Xiao Family, please go back now.”
There was already a carriage waiting at the foot of the mountain. After they boarded the carriage, Xiao Wan'er opened the curtain and waved goodbye to the crowd until she could not see them.
The youth in white from the Three Pure Sect smiled gently and said, ”I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Cheng Ying. Just call me Senior Brother Cheng.”
Xiao Wan'er immediately sat upright and smiled. ”Brother Cheng Ying, a pleasure to meet you. I'm Xiao Wan'er, you can call me Wan'er.”
Xiao Chen put his zither box beside and smiled slightly. ”Senior Brother Cheng, well met. I'm Xiao Chen.”
Xiao Han looked at the blue sky as he moved his lips, uttering a cold voice, ”Xiao Han.”
Cheng Ying nodded and looked at Lil Ruo, asking, ”How should I address you then?”
Lil Ruo was always afraid of strangers, now she dared not to say anything with her head down. Xiao Chen smiled and said, ”This is my sister. She's used to living with me. She will accompany me there and won't take the entrance test.”
It was a beautiful day in spring. After the carriage rode off the city, grass and orioles welcomed them as groups of butterflies danced among the flowers. Xiao Wan'er said with a smile, ”Brother Cheng Ying, why don't we travel on the flying sword?”
Cheng Ying was quite embarrassed and smiled, saying, ”My cultivation is rather low. I can only ride the sword near the mountain gate of our sect.”
All along the way, Xiao Wan'er had asked many weird questions. She seemed to want to get close to Cheng Ying, but instead, her questions always made him look awkward and even flushed from time to time.
”About the Spiritual Meridians. I'm not sure how many you've got, junior sister. You'll know when we get back in the sect where you'll get tested.”
”Alright...” Xiao Wan'er nodded and asked again, ”Can we be apprenticed as soon as we reach the sect? Can I be apprenticed to Senior Brother Cheng Ying?”
Cheng Ying scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, saying, ”You will take the test first when you get there. Our sect will only recruit five Inner Disciples and 50 Outer Disciples. The competition is pretty intense. Good luck to all of you...”
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Han with his split vision and found that man confident. Xiao Chen was sure that Xiao Han's achievement in martial arts was higher than that of Xiao Yuan. He believed that Xiao Chen had been keeping a low profile.
Xiao Wan'er asked again, ”The Violet Manor that Senior Brother Cheng Ying mentioned, where is it? Is it a place for Immortals to live in?” She looked so innocent when she spoke.
Cheng Ying smiled and said, ”No, it isn't. It's a place of Cultivators' sects. The Spiritual Qi there is much more abundant than in this Human World. If you can reach the Foundation Building Realm, you'll have the chance to be sent to the Violet Manor, people that can be sent there are limited every time though.”
”Got it!” Xiao Wan'er nodded and asked again, ”Senior Brother Cheng Ying, what level are you in the Foundation Building Realm?”
Cheng Ying scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. ”The truth is that I haven't reached the Foundation Building Realm yet. I'm now at Lv 6 Qi Refining Realm.”
”Awesome!”
”Barely. The truly awesome one is Senior Brother Mo Yu. He's at Lv 9 Qi Refining Realm now, and he's the most promising disciple to be admitted to the Violet Manor.”
”Wow! How powerful Senior Brother Mo Yu is!” Xiao Wan'er bore this name and Violet Manor in her mind.
