Luo Qingyu smiled and introduced them to Ye Qiao. “We are disciples of the Changming Sect. This is my Junior Brother, Mu Zhongxi—you probably already know him. As for me, I am Luo Qingyu. Might I ask where Fellow Daoist Ye is heading?”
Ye Qiao looked up slightly at her words and replied calmly, “I plan to find a sect to register with. I wonder if you two have any good recommendations?”
Mu Zhongxi opened his mouth, wanting to jump in first, but Luo Qingyu's sharp glare instantly silenced him.
She turned back to Ye Qiao, her tone warm and sincere.
“Fellow Daoist Ye, why not join our Changming Sect? Our sect's meals are fantastic—we have meat with every meal, and the treatment of disciples is top-notch.”
Standing to the side, Mu Zhongxi was dumbfounded as he listened to his Fourth Senior Brother spin this blatant lie.
He wondered to himself how he had been in the Changming Sect for so long and never known the sect's meals were this good.
If the cafeteria really served meat at every meal, he wouldn't have snuck down the mountain with his senior brothers to go home in the middle of the night when he first joined the sect, only to be caught by their master and beaten with a ruler.
Oh, except Fourth Senior Brother, who never got caught.
Upon hearing Luo Qingyu's words, Ye Qiao's eyes instantly lit up.
This sect was simply too wonderful! Meat with every meal, and she could slack off. It was the absolute sect of her dreams.
To hell with being a simp or a backup option—she was definitely going to the Changming Sect.
Luo Qingyu smiled and coaxed, “So, how about it? Do you want to join our sect?”
The moment the words left her mouth, Ye Qiao nodded vigorously and exclaimed excitedly, “Yes, yes, yes! Of course I want to go!”
Mu Zhongxi watched this play out with an utterly speechless expression. “Wait, dude, where's your integrity?”
Ye Qiao retorted, “Integrity can't put food on the table.”
【007: Friendly reminder to Host, there is only one hour left before the Changming Sect's registration deadline. Please depart as soon as possible.】
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyu immediately urged the two of them to set off. Mu Zhongxi looked at her sudden haste with confusion.
“Fourth Senior Brother, why are you in such a hurry?”
Hearing this, Luo Qingyu cast a helpless glance at him. “You might not be in a hurry, but she is. There's only one hour left before our Changming Sect's recruitment ends. Any later and she won't make it.”
Mu Zhongxi gasped in shock, “Huh?”
Luo Qingyu didn't pay him any more attention. She reached down and touched the jade pendant at her waist. With a flicker of spiritual energy from her fingertips, the pendant transformed into the Somersault Cloud.
She reached out, grabbed Ye Qiao beside her, and leaped onto it with her.
Luo Qingyu channeled her spiritual energy, flying swiftly toward the sect. Fearing that Ye Qiao might feel uncomfortable during the high-speed flight, she specially channeled a portion of her spiritual energy to wrap a windproof barrier around Ye Qiao.
Looking at the thoughtful Luo Qingyu, Ye Qiao felt a warm current wash over her heart, her face filled with gratitude.
A quarter of an hour later, the two finally arrived at the recruitment plaza outside the gates of the Changming Sect.
Luo Qingyu steered the Somersault Cloud to land right in the center of the plaza. The massive, pure white cloud was exceptionally eye-catching, instantly drawing the attention of the newly registered disciples.
Completely ignoring the stares of the onlookers, Luo Qingyu grabbed Ye Qiao and walked briskly toward the registration desk.
Seeing everyone's eyes fixed on her, Ye Qiao didn't care in the slightest. Instead, she proudly raised her head and let Luo Qingyu pull her along.
Standing beside Elder Zhao, Xue Yu had already witnessed their grand and spectacular arrival.
The corner of Xue Yu's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he grumbled inwardly. Fourth Junior Brother was being way too flashy this time. It was as if he was terrified others wouldn't notice him deliberately protecting the girl behind him, looking just like an old hen guarding her chick.
The two quickly reached the registration desk. Elder Zhao looked up and saw Luo Qingyu tightly holding the hand of the blue-clad girl beside her.
Luo Qingyu spoke to Elder Zhao, “Elder, it's her turn to register.”
Elder Zhao couldn't help but subconsciously size Ye Qiao up a few more times, thinking that since she was personally brought back by their own Personal Disciple, her talent surely wouldn't be lacking.
Standing nearby, Xue Yu looked at Ye Qiao and asked, “Name?”
“Ye Qiao.”
Xue Yu nodded. He used his spiritual energy to imprint Ye Qiao's name into a jade pendant, handed it to her, and instructed.
“There will be a unified talent test in two days. Remember to arrive on time.”
Ye Qiao took the jade pendant and thanked him, though her eyes continued to wander around the surroundings.
Xue Yu leaned toward Luo Qingyu and asked via sound transmission, “Fourth Junior Brother, where did you pick up this little girl? You even escorted her here to register yourself.”
Luo Qingyu narrowed her eyes slightly and replied through sound transmission as well, “Third Senior Brother, you don't need to ask about that. I'm afraid our Changming Sect is going to become much livelier in the future. Just sit back and enjoy the show.”
With that, Luo Qingyu took Ye Qiao's hand and led her toward the inner grounds of the sect.
She left only her receding figure for Xue Yu to look at.
