The representatives were stunned by the interaction, but they quickly realized something.
Those two knew each other.
This wasn't common, but it happened from time to time. After all, many powerful members of other Sects were made up of Ascenders that had been in the highest world for a while. Old and new Ascenders could have known each other.
Even more, the new Ascender was a plant, which gave the previous Ascender way more time to become more powerful due to a plant's inherent longevity.
The representatives quickly threw a look at each other.
They didn't want the new Ascender to join any other Sect, but they wanted her to join a completely unknown Sect even less.
The representatives in the hall, at least, had several treaties on how to manage this whole affair. In comparison, this new guy was completely unrelated to them.
