nInside the Teleportation Circle Building aka the TPC building.

nThere were many people gathered around the circle. They were the examinees who had passed the entrance exam and their families had come too.

nTheir children would be going to the Sect for a long time now so how could they not see them off.

nZhao Luo entered the building with Yan. The only thing in his mind was that he wanted to see the Sect. He had watched the Sect Mountain many times till now and finally, he was going there.

n

"There are so many people here.

"

nZhao Luo said as he could see a crowd gathered inside the building.

n

"It's because there are others like the friend and families of the examinees here too.

"

nYan explained as she looked around and noticed some familiar faces.

n

"Hmmm. I don't see Feng Mei. Brother Sang isn't here either.

"

nZhao Luo told Yan after he scanned the crowd.

nThey had planned to meet in the building but both of them weren't even here yet.

nZhao Luo walked towards the crowd and mixed in with them. After passing through so many people gradually he reached the place where the Second Elder was standing.

n

"Hope you are well Elder.

"

nZhao Luo paid his respect to the Elder as he bowed in front of him.

nAs Zhao Luo said that to the Second Elder everyone looked at him for a moment then they turned to what they were discussing.

nIt was simple, so many people were already gathered here. Every one of them had come to pay his respect to Elder Dousan but except for a nod, nobody could get any other reaction from him.

n

"Haha, Young man you are finally here. I have two new riddles for you.

"

nElder Dousan started laughing as he saw Zhao Luo greeting him.

nThe people around them were shocked.

n'Who was Elder Dousan?'

nExcept for being one of the smartest elders in the Xin Sect, he was also in the top 5 elder ranking in terms of raw strength and cultivation level. But now the same elder was looking genuinely happy and talking with this kid like he was a Junior of Elder. Others were quite shocked by this interaction between The Elder and Zhao Luo.

n

"Haha, Elder please not today.

"

nZhao Luo jokingly declined the offer of solving the Second Elders' two brand new riddles.

n'His riddles are easier than boiling an egg.'

nZhao Luo thought as he was still maintaining a carefree smile.

nIf he had easily solved the riddles of the Second Elder in front of so many people then wouldn't the Elder's title 'The Master Of Riddles' turn out to be a scam.

nWhile Zhao Luo had refused the Elder, the Elder didn't mind it even a single bit. But the same thing couldn't be said for the people around them.

nSome were all looking at this interaction between Zhao Luo and the second elder with their mouth open. While others felt that this was very interesting.

n'Where did this young man come from.'

nSome thought as who would dare to refuse the second elder's offer.

nMost of these people were flabbergasted by Zhao Luo's attitude towards the elder and how elder dousan treated him.

nWhile this interaction between the elder and Zhao Luo was going on, three people had entered the building. Two were in the front while the third one was behind them.

nThe one in the front was Feng Mei who was walking in front of her subordinates. The subordinates were like her guards.

nAs she entered the building Zhao Luo noticed her but before he could move to her, the big teleportation circle next to him glowed.

n'Whoosh.'

nBrother Sang and Su Shi appeared on it.

nNow all of Zhao Luo's companions had appeared in the building. Yan came with him from the hotel. Feng Mei arrived with her subordinates from Feng's Palace.

nWhereas Su Shi and Brother Sang appeared in the circle together.

n'They are together. Huh.'

nZhao Luo thought as he grinned while looking at Brother Sang.

nBrother Sang knew what Zhao Luo was thinking as he nodded at him before moving closer to Zhao Luo.

nAs for why Su Shi and Brother Sang appeared in the circle is a different story.

nYesterday night.

nBrother Sang had returned to the Second City just to find Su Shi at the gate of his 'Sang Sang Merchant'. But there was a reason behind her visit at such a time of night.

nThere was an item that she had to receive from one of Brother Sang's Merchant stores in the Second City. But she didn't know where the store was thus she decided to visit him directly.

nThe item was a gift to Su Shi prepared by her father but he didn't give her directly instead choose a roundabout way.

n'A tale for later.'

nA beautiful small sword with a mysterious name. It had a ruby carved on its hilt. It was a shorter replica of the sword that Su Shi's father uses.

nBrother Sang passed the sword to her.

nHe also gave the message of her father.

n

"Good luck my daughter.

"

nAfter listening to the message Su Shi suddenly started crying. She had been showing a strong cover since she was little but now that she was going to the Sect she had finally accepted the truth. But it didn't mean she had given up her responsibilities.

nBrother Sang was confused as to how he should comfort her and in the end, he hugged her.

nAfter her crying had stopped Brother Sang have her a room to stay the night so they ended up coming here together.

nIn TPC Building.

nBrother Sang approached Zhao Luo as he could see the grin on Zhao Luo's face. This grin forced him to remember about the hug with Su Shi.

nBrother Sang was blushing slightly as he stood next to Zhao Luo now. Su Shi was with them there too. Yan who was standing behind Zhao Luo was looking at Zhao Luo and Brother Sang.

nOne had a grin on his face while the other was looking at him with innocent eyes.

n

"Absolutely nothing happened.

"

nBrother Sang suddenly said while looking at Zhao Luo and then changing his sight onto Su Shi. This caused Su Shi to blush too.

nShe didn't know why she was behaving like this. There wasn't even any reason to feel embarrassed.

n'These idiots.'

nSu Shi thought.

nFeng Mei had also approached the group.

n

"I greet the Elder.

"

nFeng Mei gave a bowing salute to the Second Elder as the Elder nodded at her with a smile.

nShe was a refreshment to his old eyes.

n'Such a cute child.'

nElder thought as he looked at Brother Sang and Su Shi who still hadn't greeted him.

n

"Ahem.

"

nThe elder scuffed.

n

"Sorry for my rudeness Elder.

"

nBrother Sang said as he and Su Shi gave a light bow with their shoulder while giving the elder a first palm salute.

nAs the greeting with the Elder had finished Feng Mei turned to Zhao Luo and the others.

n

"Brother I missed you.

"

nFeng Mei said as she hugged Zhao Luo while holding to his robe with her little hands.

nHer brother was looking even more handsome now with his killing beauty spreading through his persona.

nZhao Luo patted Feng Mei's head as little Feng Mei was looking cuter than ever. But right then a strange sensation started poking and he couldn't get away from this eerie feeling.

nIt felt like someone was trying to kill him with their gaze. Thus Zhao Luo looked around.

n'Who is it?'

nZhao Luo looked at the people around him but he couldn't find the person who was directing so much killing intent at him.

nEven though Zhao Luo wanted to find the one who was directing such a murderous gaze at him but he couldn't care much about it since they were in a place where any mishap would be stopped even before it could happen.

nZhao Luo turned his focus on Feng Mei.

nFeng Mei left Zhao Luo's embrace and blushed a little. Even though she was so young but it felt nice hugging such a handsome guy.

n

"Is everything okay now?

"

nZhao Luo asked while looking at Feng Mei.

nHe still couldn't forget about the look on the Little Queen's face when one of her subordinates had whispered something in her ear.

nZhao Luo still had a clear image of the sight of Feng Mei's lonely back when she had left the Sect Building.

n

"Brother, don't worry. I am strong.

"

nFeng Mei said as she showed Zhao Luo a cute smile.

n'How can I believe that?'

nZhao Luo felt his heart shaking.

nEven though his little sister said that everything was fine but how could he ignore the despairing look in her eyes.

n

"Feng Mei is the Strongest.

"

nZhao Luo cheered her as he patted her head.

nHe knew that she wasn't ready to share her problems with anyone yet. So he decided to give Feng Mei the time she needs. He could only cheer and support her from the sidelines.

nWhile everyone had thinks they were still talking about with each other, the Second Elder went inside the teleportation circle.

n

"Clap, Clap.

"

nA loud clapping sound echoed in the building as everyone focused on the Second Elder.

n

"Everyone bid farewell to your families and friends and be ready to look at your future. Gather around me. It's time.

"

nThe Second Elder announced. It was finally time to teleport to the Sect.

nZhao Luo clenched his fists as he moved in the circle with his friends.
