Will walked toward Sia and took his hand as she was new to all this. He wanted to have fun with her too because he knew that after this they would be separated for some time.
In his previous life, while he was finding answers for his physique he found a technique that could help hide one's cultivation, It was not a powerful technique and he never came to a situation where he had to hide his cultivation but now he had to hide his cultivation to stay low-key.
'Sigh... I never thought that I would come to a situation where I would have to hide my cultivation.'
'But this is for the best. Now is not the time to come to light.'
They started walking the streets of Esaka, which were bustling with people buying and selling different stuff. The street had its unique aroma everywhere even the people were excited to see two very beautiful kids walking on the street.
'I am certain that there won't be a young master cliché here seeing my cute sister. Those kinds of people come here to curry favor from the three major sects. So even they have to be here with their best and most respectful attitude'
Will wanted to visit a lot of shops with Sia. She was also very excited as this was very new to her, It was like a new world opened before her.
'Even the attire cultivators wear are so different and beautiful...'
Will could almost hear her thoughts; He chuckled and took her hands and said,
"Fio~ why don't we buy some clothes, we have money and our current clothes don't look good."
Fionna knew that her brother would understand her feelings hence she happily agreed.
They walked toward an expensive clothes shop. the employees of the shop were also excited to see two beautiful people coming their way but when they saw their current clothes they lost their excitement, one of the employees was on his way to shoo them. This all could not escape Will's eyes, he decided to make his move before anyone.
"Can you guys show me some beautiful clothes for my beautiful sister? Don't worry about the money" He showed his pouch of gold coins, seeing that the employees became very cheerful.
"Young master you came to the right place. We have the best clothes in the whole Esaka city."
"Young miss come here, allow us to dress your beautiful self."
She started trying different dresses, mainly because the employees enjoyed dressing her.
"Brother, do you think I look good in these clothes"
"You look like a princess, my cute sister~"
Even though each cloth cost 70 to 80 gold coins and Will only had 1000, Will couldn't care less; He wanted Fionna to enjoy... They bought dresses for both of them. Wearing them, next they went to a restaurant with a private room.
"Brother the food is very but your cooking is the best!! I wish sister Sia could enjoy with us..."
"Humph...Obviously, my cooking is the best. Let's buy some ingredients tomorrow I will cook you something very unique and delicious" Will said in an excited tone.
"Don't worry about Sia, you will see her in no time," Will said in a solemn tone.
They ate their fill in the restaurant and then, they went to the market. Some of the condiments for cooking used in his previous life were low-level raw materials used for alchemy. Even though they were expensive Will bought them. At the end of their shopping spree, they were left with very little money but he was not concerned about that, as he thought of hunting monsters for money.
They went to their rented house and then after leaving Fionna there, he went out...
'Fio should be safe there, security is very good in this city. Now, all that is left is to ask about 'it'.' 'recruitment for the ice heart sect.'
Will went toward a very bustling tavern where he knew, free cultivators, vanguards, etc all came there to enjoy the night. It was not some major information so he thought it would be appropriate to collect it there.
He sat there in front of the bartender with some men. the tavern had very less people than normal. he started with some casual talks with people then he asked his real question...
"Hey, do you guys know when the recruitment for new disciples is for the ice heart sect?"
"Hahaha, kid are you gonna go to the ice heart sect?"
"Kiddo if you wear girl's clothes you will look no less than a heavenly beauty. I guess it's appropriate for you... hahaha"
"You only lack two mountains... If you get that... slurp~ slurp~"
"Kid wearing women's clothing is hard. You have to tie the knot properly or else... I learned that the hard way... hahaha"
"After wearing women's clothing don't do your business while standing or else you will look...hahaha"
Will: "...."
Will: "...."
Will: "...."
"Kid, don't worry about them." said the bartender with a slight smile.
"Man... drunken old men are really..."
"The doors of the ice heart sect are closed.
The recruitment of the new disciples for the ice heart sect happened three months ago." the bartender spoke before Will could say anything.
"WHAT" Will shouted and went near the bartender...
"Really it happened only three months ago"
"Yes, kid... but why do you ask??"
"It's for my sister... We just came to the Esaka city from far away and.." Will said in a sad tone.
"You don't have to worry kid, the next recruitment test will happen 3 years later. If your sister is powerful and talented enough she will surely get in" The bartender said trying to cheer Will up.
Will stood up and went out after he threw in the last of his gold.
He reached the rented house with a heavy heart and a lot of thoughts.
'No... No... No... Why is my luck so bad...'
'If it would have been 6 months or a year, I would have taught her hunting, survival tactics, and all about cultivation to make her ready. But...
Fionna can't wait for almost three years. A 16-year-old mortal... I don't think they would even consider...'
It's not like people at the time of recruitment are mortals every time or they are always 10 or 11 years old. Children from major families start their cultivation at the age of 10 with a neutral cultivation technique and learn about cultivation. And then after some years or so, they join the sect for the cultivation technique they have an affinity for...
Will thought that it would be great for Fionnas's adaptability if she starts with the ice heart cultivation technique from the get-go.
'Huuu... don't worry Fio, I will get you in the ice heart sect some way or the other.'
'I will just have to think of something like 'accidentally' catching some elder's eye. or something... I don't know... but I will not lose hope.'
Will had many ideas going on, in his head which put him to ease and hence he could have a good night's sleep.
