Chapter 47：Double Invitation (1/2)
”I can give you a True Earth Grade artifact if you let me take him right now.” Wen Cheng saw that Ma Rong was in contemplation, so he offered a transaction.
Seeing Wen Cheng actually offer something so expensive, Ma Rong was more than sure that there was something he wasn't revealing right now.
The other Tiger sect elders in the back started to murmur, and wonder why their sect leader would ever make such an offer. Was the kid really worth that?
Alex was stunned too. 'Did Luo Mei tell him about me? Is that why he is making such an offer?' He wanted to say something but couldn't think of what to say in front of such an important crowd.
”Sect Leader,” suddenly, a voice shouted from the back. Ma Rong looked back and found it was the Great Elder who had just spoken.
”What is it, Great Elder?” she asked.
”You see, about a week ago, the Eighteenth elder came to me and talked about how fruitful that week's examination was, and that over 25 participants had passed at once.” He started talking.
No one understood where this was going, so they kept listening.
”Apparently, one of those participants got a full score on the examination test. They had identified all 100 ingredients in their bag, and had managed to get a silver library token.” He said.
Ma Rong seemed to know what he was alluding to, so she asked, ” Are you trying to say that he is that disciple?”
Ma Rong looked at Alex and asked, ” Did you get a silver library token when you entered the sect?”
”Yes, Elder lang gave me one the day I entered,” Alex replied.
Ma Rong smiled. She finally had a reason to decline Wen Cheng's offer. ”See, Wen Cheng, My disciple is talented in alchemy as well. Even before joining the sect, he already knew a lot about alchemy. So you should give up on trying to force him to join.”
The purple robes duo were watching the ongoing drama with a little smile on their faces. Ma Rong and Wen Cheng kept going back and forth on how one wanted the disciple, and another didn't want to send him away.
The purple-robed female finally talked for the first time. ”How about this then Sect Leaders? Why don't we ask the young man himself which sect he chooses?”
Ma Rong and Wen Cheng stopped arguing and thought for a second. Wen Cheng was the first to agree.
”Yes, Lady Mo is correct. We should let the disciple choose.” Wen Cheng stepped forward toward Alex, who was still dazed. ”Your name is Yu Ming right? If you join my sect, you will have free access to all the cultivation methods and techniques in the sect. I will also allow you to choose 1-NO, 2 artifacts from the sect treasury. And on top of that, I will make you my direct disciple.”
