Afterward, Tang Ya and Bei Bei sat down on the chairs, carefully questioning each outer courtyard student who wanted to join, before they began to record…
The Tang Sect wanted to recruit students who truly wished to join the sect, not those who simply followed the crowd because others were doing it…
Such students, even if they joined the Tang Sect, would choose to leave once the excitement wore off…
Next to them, Tang Wutong sighed, "Sister Tang Ya and Big Brother Beibei are asking so thoroughly! This will make many students lose interest in joining."
Elder Qian Yu smiled faintly, "Can't help it. Joining a sect is no trifling matter. Some of these students are just here to follow the crowd, like…"
Just as he finished speaking, a shocked voice erupted from where Tang Ya and Bei Bei were…
A female inner courtyard student stood up in agitation, her face displeased, "What? Elder Qian Yu hasn't joined the Tang Sect but has only become a special-appointed teacher?"
As soon as these words came out, other female students who had come for Qian Yu sighed, "I always thought Elder Qian Yu had joined the Tang Sect! I didn't expect it to be only a special appointment."
"I still wanted to get close to Elder Qian Yu. I didn't expect it to be like this. Forget it then, I'm no longer interested in joining."
All of a sudden, six or seven female students shook their heads and left disappointedly…
Regarding this reactIon, Tang Ya and Bei Bei simply smiled indifferently as if they had predicted such an outcome…
Thus, those remaining were either truly sincere about joining the sect or had other ideas in mind…
Elder Qian Yu's gaze turned to the next student wishing to join the Tang Sect, surprised, "This guy is… Ling Ling?"
Upon hearing these words, Tang Wutong's eyes instantly became guarded as she looked toward the girl who was registering…
Seeing Ling Ling's face, fragments of memories began to emerge in her mind…
This female student seemed to have been grouped with Qian Yu in the newcomer competition five or six years ago…
Ling Ling, now grown and graceful, gave Tang Ya a delicate smile and said softly, "Sister Tang Ya, please register me. I want to join the Tang Sect."
Tang Ya's eyes showed surprise but she still asked, "Are you sure you want to join the Tang Sect? There's no need if you have other motives."
Ling Ling shook her head earnestly, "No, Sister Tang Ya, I just purely want to join a sect."
Hearing this, Tang Ya could say no more and earnestly said, "Alright, tell me your name, soul power rank, and Martial Soul. We need to collect these to join the sect."
Without any pretense, Ling Ling responded decisively, "Ling Ling, a Level 58 Control System Soul King, Martial Soul Bamboo Green Vine."
Tang Ya quickly wrote it down and smiled, "Alright, I've recorded it. Ling Ling, welcome to the Tang Sect."
"Thank you, Sister Tang Ya," Ling Ling said, then swiftly turned around…
Her gaze shifted to Qian Yu and Tang Wutong, batting her Beautiful Eyes as she slowly approached…
She then naturally took Qian Yu's arm and said tenderly, "Elder Qian Yu, it's been so long, have you forgotten about me?"
Qian Yu gave her a glance and decisively pulled away, his tone indifferent, "No, I've never remembered."
Ling Ling, feigning anger, retorted, "Hmph! Heartless! You once said you'd come to get me stepping on seven golden soul rings, and now you've forgotten!"
Qian Yu pursed his lips in silence…
This woman, just as troublesome as before!
She then turned to Tang Wutong with an affected look of surprise, "You must be the one from back then, Wang Dong, right? Who would have thought you'd look so pretty in women's clothes?"
Although the words seemed admiring, they were laced with a strong undercurrent of rivalry…
Tang Wutong's expression darkened, finding the woman even more presumptuous than she had imagined!
She then said with a hint of apology, "Sorry, but I've never remembered what losers look like."
Ling Ling bit her teeth when she heard this…
Retorted, "If I were to fail with Elder Qian Yu, I wouldn't mind."
Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes narrowed, her tone gradually becoming colder, "Losers are different from each other, some are born destined to fail."
Ling Ling too responded coldly, "Is that so? Well, I want to see if you have..."
Before Ling Ling could finish, Tang Wutong decisively unleashed her Bright Dragon God Butterfly Martial Soul, and suddenly, six soul rings began to flicker beneath her feet…
When the last crimson hundred-thousand-year soul ring rose, an overwhelming aura surged towards Ling Ling...
Ling Ling quickly released her own Martial Soul, Bamboo Green Vine, but still staggered back two steps under the pressure…
Her gaze locked onto the crimson soul ring at Tang Wutong's feet, she thought to herself, "So strong! Is this the power of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring?"
If it came to a fight, she feared she wouldn't last even three minutes!
However, she wasn't there to fight!
Ling Ling said softly, "Indeed, you have the strength of a member who represents Tang Sect in the Continent's Young Soul Master Elite Competition."
Tang Wutong replied lightly, "Likewise, your words are just as formidable!"
Ling Ling turned to look at Qian Yu, smiling, "Elder Qian Yu, let's talk privately when you have time!"
With that, she gently waved at Qian Yu and turned to leave…
Qian Yu softly asked Tang Wutong beside her, "Wutong, are you angry?"
Tang Wutong retracted her Martial Soul, her expression lightening, playfully saying, "A bit."
Seeing Tang Wutong upset made Qian Yu feel somewhat blissful…
It meant that Tang Wutong's feelings for her had truly taken a step closer…
Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation, "Qian Yu, Wutong, what's happening here? Why are there so many people?"
It was Huo Yuhao, who had hurried over immediately after leaving the Sea God's Pavilion...
Tang Wutong explained, "They all came to join Tang Sect!"
Then curiously asked, "But weren't you headed to the far northern lands? How did you return so quickly?"
Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Yes, because I had been there once before, I remembered a shortcut and the spots where high-rank soul beasts linger, so the journey went quite smoothly."
Tang Wutong nodded thoughtfully, "I see."
Then, Huo Yuhao turned his gaze to Qian Yu, speaking seriously, "Qian Yu, Elder Xuan has instructed that tomorrow, all of us from Tang Sect will accompany you and President Yan to the Aquipeia Forest to help the freshmen obtain their soul rings."
Qian Yu raised an eyebrow, "Hmm? To the Aquipeia Forest?"
Is Huo Yuhao worried about running into Soul Beast God Di Tian again?
The possibility wasn't unfounded!
Qian Yu said calmly, "Understood, I will discuss this matter with President Yan."
Tang Wutong, who had been listening on the side to the conversation that seemed serious but hid other intentions, her beautiful eyes revealing a trace of suspicion, "Yuhao, Qian Yu, are you hiding something from me?"
With Qian Yu and President Yan leading the way to the Aquipeia Forest, there shouldn't be any danger, right?
