Is It Love? Part Two

One by one the line moved as the new disciples brought up their medallions. There were quite a few who had stood off to the side with an embarrassed look on their faces. Ah Chun who had seen these people figured that they had not been able to find any medallions. She had also recognized a few of the disciples to be people who had originally tried to rob her of her own medallions only to end up on the losing side and got their medallions stolen instead.

Upon the high stage, there was a large array that worked as a ranking board. The ranking board used Spiritual Qi to write out the name of the disciple and the number of medallions that they turned in. The names changed with every disciple that went up.

Right now the highest number was three hundred and twenty. The one who turned these in was a young girl that seemed to be around eleven years old named Zhi Ruo who was currently on stage. Ah Chun looked up at this young girl around eleven years of age and was amazed at how beautiful she was. This girl Zhi Rou had long silver hair that glittered in the sun. Her phoenix eyes were dark and deep so much so that one could get lost in them. Her red lips contrasted well with her white porcelain skin. Ah Chun thought to herself, 'If I was a boy I would have fallen in love at first sight. This girl was truly the meaning of the phrase "A beauty that could cause the downfall of a nation". ' Ah Chun could not take her eyes off this girl.

Zhi Rou who was standing on stage felt that someone was staring at her intensely and looked around to see who it was. Being a cultivator these types of feelings were warning signs that she should be careful. But when her eyes fell on Ah Chun who was obviously staring at her. Their eyes met and Zhi Rou felt as if she had been struck by lightning and her cheeks started to redden. Zhi Rou did not know why but when she looked at this girl her heart began to pound and her face began to feel hot. She quickly shook her head and ran off the stage. She stood off to the side where the current top disciples were standing. Lowering her head to look at the ground trying to calm her pounding heart. Ah Chun who watched the girl leave the stage felt it was a shame that the girl left. Her beauty was something to be looked at.

Three hours passed and it was finally Ah Chun's turn. Zhi Rou still held first place, while the second place and below kept changing left and right. As Ah Chun walked up on stage she felt a pair of intense eyes on her. Ah Chun looked over to see Zhi Rou quickly looking away with a red face. Ah Chun thought nothing of it and walked up to the table that was used to count the medallions. Mei Liling who was sitting in her seat on stage and had caught all the interactions between Ah Chun and Zhi Rou. Mei Liling smiled slyly, a glint of light could be seen in her eyes. Nobody knew what she was thinking at this time.

Ah Chun stood in front of the table and started to pull hand full after hand full of medallions from her interspatial ring. Since her hands were small, it took a total of fifteen minutes to get all the medallions out of her ring. When she was done the entire table was covered in medallions. All the disciples were speechless after seeing Ah Chun take out so many medallions. The elders who were counting did not say anything they had all seen everything that happened in the mystic realm so it was not surprising that Ah Chun had so many medallions.

Once they had finished counting the medallions the ranking board's number one spot finally changed. Zhi Rou's name was moved to second place while Ah Chun's name appeared in the first row signaling her taking first place. The total number of medallions reached one thousand two hundred. This number reached a new record for The Heavenly Sword Sect's admissions test. Shi Quan was sitting in his seat stroking his beard while nodding. He thought this little girl really did match up to being Mei Liling's daughter.

Ah Chun was the last to go up, which brought the second test to an end. Ah Chun walked off the stage and stood next to Zhi Rou. Zhi Rou kept sneaking peeks at Ah Chun with her cheeks flushed red. Ah Chun noticed Zhi Rou sneaking peeks at her and turned and smiled. This caused Zhi Roy's face to turn red all the way to her ears. Zhi Rou kept playing with her fingers and continued to sneak peeks at Ah Chun. Finally, after a few minutes of mustering up her courage, she turned to Ah Chun opened her mouth…

"That ends the second part of the admissions test. For the 100 disciples that will have a chance to prove themselves in the third part of the admissions test congratulations. For the rest, you can follow Elder Sheng to get situated in your courtyards. The rest will follow me towards the arena before heading off to rest." Shi Quan voice bellowed out as poor Zhi Rou was interrupted.

Zhi Rou was utterly embarrassed and cursed the Sect Master in her heart. 'Why did he have to choose that moment to speak!? Why couldn't he wait till after I talked to her!? Does the Sect Master have something against me? It took everything I had to try to talk to her!' Zhi Rou's lips turned into a frown. She was really depressed at this moment.

Ah Chun who had noticed the girl wanted to say something to her but was interrupted, felt bad when she noticed the girl was about to cry. Ah Chun reached over her little hand and grabbed Zhi Rou's hand in an effort to try to comfort her. This surprised Zhi Rou at first before blushing and gripping Ah Chun's hand. The two girls looked at each other smiled and started giggling. The two did not know but an inseparable bond was formed at this time and a friendship that would last for centuries had just been created. Mei Liling, who saw everything got up from her seat and whispered into Shi Quan's ear. Which in turn made Shi Quan look at Mei Liling with a shocked expression, but did not say anything and just nodded.
