Chapter 40: Best Course Of Action
Although he didn't completely understand, Wu Yuan was not an actual 14-year-old boy. With a little critical thinking, their intentions grew clear.
Gao Yu had spotted his potential. The request for Wu Yuan to join the Finance Hall in the future likely arose from the competition between the five halls of the Cloudstride Sect.
Invitation? It seemed like a choice, but was it really?
Clearly not! Accepting the offer was his best choice!
Refusing Gao Yu's offer would immediately offend him and possibly sour Huan Xinyan's attitude. Even if she didn't intentionally trouble Wu Yuan, it could lead to complications. Plus, the Finance Hall held both wealth and influence; there was little reason to decline. Therefore, he did not hesitate.
"Senior Gao, Instructor Huan." Wu Yuan said seriously, "I trust the sect and Instructor Huan. I am willing to join the Finance Hall after entering the sect."
Since he chose to agree, he would endeavor to leave the best impression possible, possibly reaping more benefits.
"Excellent," Gao Yu smiled satisfactorily, "Wu Yuan, trust me, you won't regret this choice."
Huan Xinyan's expression was even brighter. She and Wu Yuan were not too familiar with each other, just slightly closer than the ordinary teacher-student relationship. Yet, Wu Yuan, her first mentee, held a special place in her heart. Observing his blossoming talent and knowing he would join the sect's Finance Hall made her truly happy.
"Your swift progress in physical strength and martial skills is due to your awakening,” Gao Yu explained, “though this phase will soon end, it'll permanently boost your potential."
"Once you commence training in the Cloud Martial Hall, resources from both the Cloud Martial Hall and my Finance Hall will accelerate your progress several times over. Natural treasures to assist in physical cultivation, top-tier cultivation methods, and specialized training facilities..."
"Strive hard, and by twenty, you may well become a first-rate Adept!" Gao Yu solemnly declared.
"Really?" Wu Yuan's eyes lit up with enthusiasm, but in his heart, he felt indifferent. Drawing cakes [1] was indeed every leader's forte. Leaders who couldn't draw cakes didn’t make good leaders!
Of course, Wu Yuan also understood that even if Gao Yu exaggerated things a little, it should not be too outrageous.
Since I've decided to leave Li City and the Cloudstride Sect offers natural treasures, why not give it a shot? While the Cloudstride Sect might not be the mightiest faction, gaining trust from other organizations is far more challenging.
He didn't care much for secret techniques and specialized training facilities. Only natural treasures truly enticed him.
For Wu Yuan, his top priority was to improve his physical constitution. Martial skills? They would be naturally restored to the level of his previous life in time, and ordinary secret techniques or specialized training environments wouldn't help him improve any further.
There are Savant experts within the Cloudstride Sect, and perhaps even Land Rankers. I'll soon have the chance to witness the true martial arts elites of this world. Wu Yuan was looking forward to it.
In his past life, Wu Yuan had taken part in multiple Human Federation Martial Arts Competitions and engaged in one-on-one duels with numerous martial arts Grandmasters. Deep down, Wu Yuan was eager to exchange blows with experts and face the mightiest among them!
Granted, it was a different setting; the competitions in his previous world posed no threat to his life. In this life? Without ample confidence or benefits, Wu Yuan would not rashly challenge those martial peak powerhouses.
"Senior, the Cloud Martial Hall will only recruit new disciples next year, right?" Wu Yuan asked.
"Haha, that's the standard procedure for ordinary martial artists. But for genuine prodigies, these rules need not apply," Gao Yu chuckled, "I'll promptly report your invitation to the sect, and you'll enroll via the special recruitment channel of my Finance Hall."
"Nonetheless, all new disciples must undergo official verification by the Instruction Hall. When you factor in the substantial distance between Li City and the sect, it will take at least a month, at most two. Afterward, a special envoy will arrive to escort you directly to the Cloud Martial Hall," Gao Yu explained.
One to two months? How slow. Yet, considering the primitive transportation methods of this world, combined with his special recruitment, it was true that a lengthy process was required. In this case, the wait wasn't that long.
"Senior, is there anything else I should be mindful of?" Wu Yuan tactfully inquired.
"I understand, everything is for the sect." Huan Xinyan nodded subtly.
Raised within the sect since they were children, they had a strong sense of allegiance to the sect.
"How is Wu Yuan's background?" Gao Yu asked.
"A native of Li City, his clan has been deeply rooted in Southdream for over a century, with many members choosing to join our sect as members," Huan Xinyan responded. "His father was a former member of the Southdream Army, who tragically lost his life in the Battle of Hillstride."
"So, you've conducted a thorough investigation already? You're quite prepared," Gao Yu remarked with a knowing smile.
"His background is exceptionally clean, even more so than Xu Hui. Once the Inspection Hall carries out a more detailed inquiry, there shouldn't be any issues," Gao Yu affirmed.
Huan Xinyan nodded in agreement. Wu Yuan's background and childhood experiences would satisfy any high-ranking member of the sect, proving him worthy of their full support.
"Senior Brother, what gift will you prepare?" Huan Xinyan asked.
"I have an idea in mind." Gao Yu responded with a smile, "The Hall Master is currently inspecting Southdream City. I will journey there to report this to him, and the final decision will be his."
"Travel to Southdream City? That’s more than a thousand li away," Huan Xinyan exclaimed in surprise.
"That's why I advised Wu Yuan to wait for five days," Gao Yu explained, still smiling. "I can undertake the journey alone and make a swift return; five days should suffice for the round trip."
Huan Xinyan nodded. She keenly felt the level of importance her senior brother placed on Wu Yuan.
...
I'm curious, what kind of gift is Gao Yu preparing? Wu Yuan navigated the bustling streets.
My entry into the Cloudstride Sect has been significantly smoother than I anticipated. I've already got my foot in the door. Demonstrating one's talent is truly crucial.
But I have to wait for one or two months? That's okay, the spiritual liquid in that jade vial should sustain me for a month.
Wu Yuan's physical constitution had reached its current limit. From now on, he needed to focus on nourishing his body, and no longer needed as much spiritual liquid.
I need to inform my mother that I've been specially recruited into the Cloud Martial Hall and also relay the news to the chieftain.
Oh, and the clan must have received those ten pigs from the courtyard house.
The city's unrest following the Vicious Tiger Gang's elimination had gradually subsided.
As for those pigs that had consumed the spiritual liquid, Wu Yuan didn't want them to go to waste. Though he didn't make an appearance himself, he arranged for their delivery to the Wu Clan, covering the transport expenses. Judging by the timing, they should have arrived by now.
...
Deep within the county martial academy, in a rather luxuriously decorated hall.
"I hope Wu Yuan and Wu Qiming are willing to reconcile," Headmaster Zhang Da muttered while adjusting his appearance in front of the mirror.
"Xu Shouyi, you've certainly put me in a difficult position," Zhang Da sighed as he picked up a stack of silver notes from the table, a pang of regret in his heart.
Yet he understood that he had no other alternative. If he waited any longer, he would have to make far greater sacrifices.
Reconciling now was his best course of action!
1. A drawing of a cake cannot fill one’s stomach. This means making absurd and unrealistic promises, and then using rhetoric to make people believe and serve them ?
