"S-Sorry, I spaced out..." The bulky man said in a still dazed voice.
"You have passed the cultivation test."
ixiu nodded and stood up.
"If you don’t mind asking, what cultivation base have you achieved?" The bulky man suddenly asked her.
"Ninth Level Spirit Apprentice," ixiu responded in a calm voice.
"N-Ninth level!" The bulky man trembled upon hearing this.
"Is there anything else?" ixiu then asked him.
"N-No..." he quickly shook his head.
However, just as ixiu started walking back to Yuan, a loud voice suddenly resounded, causing everyone to turn to look at the source.
"Wait a second, young lady!"
At the end of the hall, an old man followed by four other individuals could be seen approaching them in a hurry.
"C-Chairman!" The bulky man exclaid when he saw this old man, and he quickly lowered his head to bow.
’Who?’ ixiu wondered inwardly as they approached her.
"Hello, young lady. My na is Zhao Zheng, and I am the chairman of the Cultivators’ Association. I saw your cultivation just now, and it left in awe. Can I get your na?"
"ixiu," she responded.
"Then, Lady ixiu, would you like to join my Cultivators’ Association? We are currently in need of talented cultivators, and you’re exactly what we are looking for. If you join us, we can guarantee you a Heaven-grade cultivation technique, and when we acquire a Divine-grade cultivation technique in the future, you will also get to practice it." Zhao Zheng said, trying to recruit ixiu into the Cultivators’ Association.
However, ixiu quickly shook her head and said, "Thank you for the offer, but I do not wish to join the Cultivators’ Association."
The spectators were shocked when ixiu refused Zhao Zheng’s offer so casually. Many of them had plans to join the Cultivators’ Association after this, so when they saw ixiu getting recruited by the chairman of the association, they were overwheld with jealousy.
"What! The chairman himself personally invited you to join the Cultivators’ Association and you dare refuse?! Know your place!" One of the figures standing behind Zhao Zheng suddenly exclaid.
Another one then said, "You may have so talents in cultivation, but without a proper cultivation technique, you can only go so far. However, if you join us, we can guarantee you a limitless future."
Despite their words, ixiu remained calm and said, "I refuse."
"You—!"
"Stop." Zhao Zheng suddenly interrupted.
Once there was silence, he continued, "Can you at least tell why you’re refusing my offer? Are you already part of another power? Or do you have sothing against our association?"
"I have nothing against the association. My hands are already fully occupied with other matters, and I’m not interested in the Cultivators’ Association in general." ixiu said.
"Other matters? There’s nothing my association cannot solve. If you join us, we’ll help you with whatever you’re occupied with." Zhao Zheng wasn’t willing to give up soone as talented as ixiu so easily.
Hearing his words, ixiu smiled and said, "No thank you. I enjoy what I am doing, and I will continue doing it until I am no longer needed."
"What a pity." Zhao Zheng shook his head.
He then said, "Well, if you ever decide to change your mind, my Cultivators’ Association will always have its doors opened for you."
Zhao Zheng turned around and walked away without saying anything else. The four people with him lingered for a little longer to stare at ixiu with displeased looks on their faces before leaving with Zhao Zheng.
Once the place returned to being sowhat peaceful, the bulky man could finally breathe properly, and he continued the examination shortly after.
"Young lady, you’re going the wrong way." The bulky man said to ixiu when he noticed her returning to the line.
He then pointed at the door on the other side and continued, "If you’re finished, you go to that room."
"I didn’t co alone," she said to him.
ixiu then walked to Yuan and began pushing his wheelchair.
"He’s with , and he’s also here to register," she said.
"He’s also a cultivator?" The bulky man raised his eyebrows when he saw Yuan.
This is his first ti seeing soone in a wheelchair registering as a cultivator.
As they approached the bulky man, ixiu whispered to Yuan, "I think you should keep it low-key. I don’t want those people coming back to bother you. They’re definitely a troubleso bunch. I can only imagine what will happen if they see your real talents."
"I know. I’ll restrain myself." Yuan said.
anwhile, after they left the test room, Zhao Zheng didn’t actually leave and stayed behind to continue watching ixiu.
"Do we have any information on that girl?" He asked the four behind him.
One of them pulled out his phone and said, "According to the clerk that spoke with them, she’s a servant from the Yu Family. They’re a powerhouse in the entertainnt industry."
"What about that young man in a wheelchair? How is he related to her?"
"He’s also from the Yu Family— their son. That girl is probably his caretaker or sothing."
"I see..."
Back in the other room, the bulky man said, "Whenever you’re ready."
Yuan took a deep breath and began to absorb the spiritual energy in the room, making sure to keep things to a minimum by imitating the cultivation speed of other cultivators that went before him.
When Zhao Zheng saw Yuan’s abysmal cultivating speed when compared to ixiu, he sneered in a cold voice, "She’s throwing away her talents for that trash? Ridiculous!"
After a mont of silence, he said, "Get the Yu Family on the line and tell them that I would like a eting with them! I am not going to let such a talented cultivator go to waste for that useless thing!"
"Right away, Chairman Zhao."
The person proceeded to look for the Yu Family’s contact information before dialing their number.
A minute later, the bulky man said, "Alright. You passed."
"Go through those doors to complete your registration."
ixiu nodded and left the room with Yuan shortly after.
