Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Selection Begins!
Before long, the duo arrived at the City Hall.
The place was alive with bustling activity, filled with herds of people eager to join the sect, including even those who had merely come to observe the contestants taking part in the competitions.
The hall itself stood as a monumental structure, boasting a vast width of 400 meters, typical of the exaggerations that were common among the cultivators. With no ceilings inside the hall, the open sky stretched over the head, making it visible to anyone within.
In fact, the guards guarding the gate were cultivators themselves.
Given the significance of the event, it was expected that many high-ranking individuals would be present among the attendees.
Notably enough, the heads of the three ruling clans would also be in attendance at the event.
As Long Tian made his way toward the gate, he couldn't help but notice that Xiao Mei seemed to be deliberately creating some distance between them.
A smirk tugged at his lips seeing her actions as he knew very well that she wanted to avoid any public association with him, which apparently was the same for him, though for different reasons.
After entering the City Hall, a loud noise assaulted Long Tian's ears. Despite the fact that many in the crowd were preoccupied with their affairs, he could sense a few lingering glances that were cast his way.
However, the attention swiftly shifted as all the eyes turned to the girl who had followed him inside. Her entry stirred murmurs, stating how it was their dream to make her glance at them.
"Isn't that Miss Xiao, she is as beautiful as they say. I won't regret failing after being blessed to see her."
"Hey, any guesses on just how exceptional Miss Xiao's talent might turn out to be?" Numerous murmurs of speculation and conversation amongst the onlookers soon filled the air.
"She will definitely secure a place in the sect. But do you know that she's engaged to someone from the Long family? It's a mystery as to who he is, but rumor has it that he can't cultivate and is worthless trash."
Another voice chimed in, weaving more intrigue into their discussion. nove(l)bi(n.)com
Xiao Mei's gaze flicked towards Long Tian as she tried to gauge his reaction, but he remained nonchalant and brushed off the attention and continued to move forward, before not being able to help but roll his eyes at the last comment.
Amidst the crowd, his attention was caught by Xiao Mei, who was engaged in conversation with his cousin, Long Bai, the one who often bullied him using his servants.
A smile played on her lips as the two exchanged words, her gaze occasionally flickering towards him.
Long Tian was easily able to see through her intentions with clarity. Her aim was as clear as day to the boy– to incite jealousy within him.
However, unperturbed by her efforts, he refused to entertain her provocations, instead, he chose to ignore her. 'Bitc# please! You want to make me jealous? Even if you suddenly gain a Steamy hot body, I won't spare a glance at you.'
Shifting his focus away, Long Tian moved his gaze to explore the hall, and it wasn't long before it settled on a wide, raised stage.
He could see that two orbs were carefully placed on a table and knew that these orbs held immense significance, as they would serve as the instruments which would be used to appraise the talents of the participating candidates.
After waiting for so long for the guests to arrive, he was now getting bored. But fortunately, he didn't have to wait any longer as an unmistakable loud screech echoed throughout the city.
*SCREECH*
The shrill cries of an eagle pierced the air, heralding the majestic entrance of a colossal beast with a wingspan of ten meters.
Despite the impressive display of raw power which gained a reaction from him, Long Tian rolled his eyes at the clichéd entrance.
While the massive bird descended gracefully, it landed upon the spacious rooftop that served as its landing platform.
After it landed, one was able to see four figures that were standing on its back—two elderly men, a youth of Long Tian's age, and a young woman dressed as a maid.
Jumping from the eagle's back, the young man gallantly carried the maid in his arms, but upon landing, he missed his footing and stumbled before barely managing to regain his balance and stand up straight.
But the momentary misstep caused the crowd to let out a chuckle before they could cover their mouths in an attempt to stop their laugh. Nonetheless, under the stern gaze from the two elders, the people managed to hold back.
As the quartet stepped onto the ground, they proceeded to walk side by side before arriving at the center stage, drawing the attention of the eagerly waiting audience in the hall.
Amidst the hushed anticipation of the crowd, one of the elders stepped forward, his voice commanding the attention of all those in attendance.
