"Of course I want it! Why would I even reject such a blessing?" Ning Qi hurriedly responded, as though the system would regret it. The more members of the sect there are, the more experience he will gain.
'Ding! The host's sister, Ning Jing, has an exceptional comprehension aptitude but an ordinary cultivation aptitude, which perfectly suits the Sect's requirements. If the host decides to make her the sect's elder, the position of the next elder will be locked for a hundred years."
The voice of the system rang out again, surprising Ning Qi. He then looked at his sister, as if wondering where this little girl gets her talent.
He expected it to be either Kang Jia or Wen Fen.
"Jing! Why is brother Ning acting weirdly?"
Wen Fen couldn't help but ask, as she saw Ning Qi doze off while standing and open his eyes to look at her bestie for a moment before dozing off again.
"No! Fen, brother is not dozing off! He is also cultivating while standing, and he probably has found out that I may have exceptional cultivation aptitude that he couldn't find out before."
Ning Jing said with a bit 'all-knowing' expression, as she had already seen him doze off like that at their home. Under constant interrogation, Ning Qi pretended to cultivate while standing.
Wen Fen just made an 'oh' expression, while Kang Jia slowly moved towards them with perked ears to listen to their conversation.
"System? Does she have an even better aptitude than me?"
Ning Qi asked, as though he felt he had never seen his sister showing any exceptional behavior, except for beating him on all those video games.
'Ding! The host is being a bit narcissistic. The host has even less comprehensive aptitude than the disciple Nangong Xu. While Host's sister has an equal or even more comprehensive aptitude than your other siblings.'
The system responded, making Ning Qi open his eyes wide. He is surprised by two things about the system's response. The first is his little sister having such a monstrous aptitude, while the second is the system's use of words.
He had never seen the system use such words, and it never described him as 'narcissistic'. Even though the tone the system uses is still the same cold, mechanical voice. The choice of words that the system has been using recently has a bit of 'humanity' in it.
"It looks like the sect upgrade has changed the system a bit. Isn't that right, system?" Ning Qi asked, to which the system didn't respond, neither denying nor agreeing with him.
Ning Qi recognized that the question was still not within his "authority." He quickly asked the more important question.
"System! If my sister has such a monstrous aptitude... why didn't she get recruited by that sect?" Ning Qi inquired, knowing that those guys would never have let her go if they knew.
'Ding! Please pay close attention to what the system explained in the first few sentences, host. The system said she has exceptional aptitude in comprehensive aptitude but not in cultivation. And the sects on earth don't have a proper technique or tool to test one another's comprehension yet. Even if they found one, they still won't recruit someone without cultivation aptitude, as the spiritual energy on earth is too sparse for such people to even reach the golden core realm.'
The system again explained as though it is complaining that Ning Qi is not putting enough concentration on its notifications.
Ning Qi ignored its complaint as he opened his eyes again to look at his sister, as if curious about what makes her soul so unique.
"Damn! This little girl resembles the world's protagonists. If I can make her reincarnate in some cultivation world with a super cheat 'Spiritual orb', she will probably reach the peak in no time." Ning Qi exclaimed.
But he knows he would never let his little sister go through all that, even if he could make her reincarnate.
Just as the four of them were consumed by their thoughts. Nangong Xu, Shen Yue, and Kang Xuan slowly opened their eyes before quickly making their way to this group.
Kang Xuan quickly flashed and stood by Kang Xia's side, while Shen Yue and Nangong Xu stood beside Ning Qi.
"Sect Master! Have you already found the third disciple?"
Shen Yue asked as she eyed the three female 'disciples' with a smile on her face. She felt that she was finally going to have a team of female warriors to chat with. But she couldn't take her eyes off this big sister, who looked too cute... and wanted to pinch her.
Nangong Xu simply gave a polite smile towards Ning Jing and Wen Fen. He doesn't have many thoughts, but he feels these two big sisters are very pretty and pleasing to the eyes.
Seeing that the two of them were giving them polite smiles, Ning Jing smiled back at them, too. While Wen Fen simply gave a nod with a slight smile.
"Hey! Little brother and sister, as well as this u-uncle. Glad to meet you all."
Ning Jing said a bit excited, that she was going to spend her life with them from now on.
Everyone rolled their eyes, including Ning Qi. But they didn't say anything, simply gave her a wry smile, waiting for Ning Qi to start. But they felt a bit troubled by this energetic big sister, who looks like a person who is never going to follow rules.
Only Kang Jia smiled at the faces that his father and the other two disciples were making.
"Alright! Stop making trouble, Jing." Ning Qi said, instantly shutting down her enthusiasm.
"Well! This is my little sister, Ning Jing, and this is her best friend, Wen Fen."
Ning Jing formally introduced them, instantly making three of them surprised, and a thought flashed in their minds, the same one as Kang Jia's.
"There is a slight change to what we initially discussed... " Ning Qi told them, which was a bit confusing for them. He then paused for a moment before looking at Wen Fen.
"Fen! I'm going to break the promise I made to you before... As I am going to recruit you today itself. No need to wait until the next recruitment."
Ning Qi said the first sentence a bit seriously, stopping for a moment before continuing the next sentence with a smile on his face.
Wen Fen, on the other hand, didn't process what Ning Qi was talking about initially. But soon her face lit up with surprise and happiness.
"It's good to break the promise, brother Ning! Hehe." Wen Fen giggled, and she responded back.
The remaining people also understand a bit of what's going on from the conversation between them. But they are puzzled why the sect master didn't recruit her directly, as they already had an extra spot from the very start.
"That's only the first part of the change in plans. We are also going to recruit the first elder of the sect. The first elder of the sect will be my little sister, Ning Jing, the fourth disciple will be Kang Jia, and the fifth will be Wen Fen. So we still have one more spot to fill."
Ning Qi stated as he was tired of going around in circles anymore.
"Elder? Brother, are you making me an elder? Just like the elders in the cultivation novels?" Ning Jing asked with a bit too much excitement. She was just happy for her bestie a moment ago, but this announcement made her head go a bit dizzy.
Wen Fen also felt happy for her bestie. She was also a bit troubled at how this girl, who was a bit mischievous, was going to mess with those 'senior' disciples and create trouble for Ning Qi. But now everything will be settled.
Shen Yue simply rolled her eyes at Ning Qi for taking such a decision. Of course, she is not jealous or something, as she just felt she may not be able to pinch this big sister's cheeks.
Nangong Xu simply smiled at it, as he felt it was for the better. He also perceived this big sister to be a rule-breaker. He also thinks it is good to have one person above him, except for the sect master, who can take care of the sect when the sect master is absent.
Kang Jia and Kang Xuan are simply content with whatever Ning Qi decides, and their thoughts are even more favorable to Ning Qi, as they believe that it is the authority that Ning Qi possesses, and they simply have to follow him accordingly.
If Ning QI were to know their thoughts, he would scold them and have prepared a great lecture 'to change their thought process.'
Not bothering them, Ning Qi opened his eyes to check on the stats of Wen Fen, as she was the only one for whom he hadn't checked the stats.
Name: Wen Fen - human
Cultivation: none.
Stats:
Strength: 1
agility: 1.2
intelligence: 1.2'
"As expected, this girl is quite athletic and a top-ten student in her class." Ning Qi commented, seeing her stats.
