Appear, stranger

"In the name of the Young Sect Master, Blackwood brought them here to participate in the assessment," Blackwood spoke up.

Upon hearing Blackwood's response, the two disciples exchanged glances, both knowing that Blackwood was the trusted confidant of the Young Sect Master.

Since Blackwood said so, there should be no mistake.

The two disciples immediately nodded and made way, their figures swiftly disappearing from the sight of Xia Zhiqing and the others.

Witnessing this, Xia Zhiqing and the others couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment on their faces. "This is the means of a sect. It's truly amazing."

Listening to their amazement, Blackwood smiled and said, "After you all participate in the assessment competition, you will have such strength as well."

Xia Zhiqing and the others exchanged glances, their eyes filled with anticipation, hoping that one day they could also become that strong.

Before long, the group arrived at Tian Gang Sect.

The cultivators of Tian Gang Sect looked at Xia Zhiqing and the others who suddenly appeared, their eyes showing a unanimous surprise.

"Why are these people coming to Tian Gang Sect? Their cultivation level seems too weak."

"I don't know. Our Tian Gang Sect is not a place where anyone can enter casually."

"Isn't the person leading them at the forefront Blackwood, the Young Sect Master's personal guard? Could this be the Young Sect Master's intention?"

The crowd constantly scrutinized Xia Zhiqing and the others. With their cultivation levels, they could easily tell the cultivation levels of Xia Zhiqing and the others with just a casual glance.

With their current cultivation, they didn't even have the possibility to set foot in Tian Gang Sect. They couldn't understand why this group of people would appear here; it was truly strange.

Hearing the comments from the surrounding cultivators, the expressions of Xia Zhiqing and the others turned somewhat ugly.

After all, the surrounding cultivators were all stronger than them, and they could feel the contempt these cultivators had towards them.

"Don't worry about them. You are friends of the Young Sect Master and his wife. They will soon shut their mouths," Blackwood explained.

The cultivators in the special enrollment class were all friends of the wife, so he naturally couldn't let them feel displeased.

Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiqing waved her hand indifferently, "It's alright, we don't care at all."

Wherever there are people, there will be gossip. If it weren't for their acquaintance with Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen, they would never have appeared here.

From a different perspective, if they saw a group of unfamiliar cultivators appearing, they would probably have the same thoughts.

Since they were friends of Emperor Beichen and Bai Li Hongzhuang, they couldn't embarrass them by appearing here.

Dongfang Yu and the others also nodded, "That's right, everyone is just curious and discussing it for a moment."

Seeing that Dongfang Yu and the others understood, Blackwood also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "The Young Sect Master and his wife should be in the sleeping quarters. I will take you there."

With Blackwood's words, Xia Zhiqing's eyes brightened. She would finally get to see Hongzhuang!

It had been some time since they last met. She wondered how Hongzhuang was doing now.

Tian Gang Sect was quite large, and even though they had already arrived at Tian Gang Sect, it still took some time for them to reach Emperor Beichen's sleeping quarters.

"Miss, Blackwood is leading a group of unfamiliar cultivators to the Young Sect Master's sleeping quarters!" Tao Congrong hurriedly rushed over to report to Han Xilin after seeing Blackwood and the group pass by their residence.

Upon hearing Tao Congrong's words, Han Xilin couldn't help but pause, her eyebrows slightly furrowing. "A group of unfamiliar people?"

"That's right, complete strangers," Tao Congrong nodded.
