"Alright! If anyone has any questions... Raise it right away or else we will start to register."
Ning Qi said as he saw everyone look contended.
"Hm! Big brother Ning, Do you want me to stop going to school after this?"
Kang Jia asked as she just joined her high school.
"Yeah, brother! What about me and Fen?" Ning Jing asked, as soon as Kang Jia made that question. Her face went from excitement to frowning, making Kang Xuan sigh.
"Miss Ning is still such a diligent student."
Kang Xuan said while Nangong Xu nodded his head as though agreeing with him.
"Don't get deceived by this girl's expressions. Even though she had good grades in her college time, that's just because she was with Fen and also she wanted to get a 'big' job. But if she is presented with a chance to get away from that to play video games, she will simply not bother with studies."
Ning Qi understood his little sister better than anyone, after all. He knew that she was trying her best not because she is interested in his studies, but because she just wanted to help him by getting into a good job and improving their lives even better.
Of course, Ning Qi is not blaming her. He loved the fact she was trying her best, even though she has no interest.
"Alright, brother! What I am worried about is what will we say to our parents. You know my homeroom teacher has our parent's number."
Ning Jing said with a wry smile, instantly putting Ning Qi in a pinch.
"Hm! Then you all can go to school in the morning for now, until I find a solution for that, alright? But you must come back to the sect before night and start practicing. You can also practice in your classrooms, as the normal world studies aren't going to have much impact on your strength anymore."
Ning Qi said as he pondered for some time, before deciding to get help from someone regarding this.
"Brother Ning! I don't need to go to college and no one will disturb me, even if I drop out of my studies." Wen Fen said gently from the side.
"Noo! If I am going, you are also coming. My brother has no say in this."
Ning Jing screamed as she made a stubborn face, before moving her head towards both Wen Fen and Ning Qi in intervals, as though she is daring them to disagree with her.
Ning Qi smiled wryly as he looked at Wen Fen, asking her about this. He knows as soon as he disagrees, she won't do much but will start bawling.
"It's alright brother Ning! I was just reminding you... You know I also can't stay without her."
Wen Fen said genuinely with a smile on her face. Ning Jing also triumphantly smiled as she eyed everyone, as though declaring her victory over the war between her and her brother.
"Big Sister! You are so cute... Can I pinch you?"
Kang Jia couldn't help but ask. That was what was going on in Shen Yue's head too, but she restrained herself.
Wen Fen and Ning Qi instantly burst into laughter, making Ning Jing embarrassed.
"Not right now little sister! My brother will tease me endlessly later." Ning Jing nimbly moved to Kang Xia, before whispering in her ears.
Except for Wen Fen, everyone heard what she said, as their cultivations give them better senses than normal people. They simply rolled their eyes, as they thought she was the one that was acting cute.
"Alright! Jia, you also go to school for some time, as you just started school. When they both stopped going to college, you can also stop going to school." Ning Qi said as he eyed everyone.
"Raise your hands now! I will be marking you with the sect seal, meaning that you all will be sect members from today onwards."
Ning Qi said making them instantly raise their left or right hands, whichever they are used to.
" System! Register Kang Jia as the fourth disciple of the sect."
Ning Qi commanded in his mind, slowly a red 'Taohua' seal flow out of his hand before marking the hand of Kang Jia, before disappearing inside completely.
Ning Jing and Wen Fen's eyes went wide, as they saw such a magical thing. Even though they know it is a magical thing, they still felt incredulous.
"System! Register Wen Fen as the fifth disciple of the sect."
Ning Qi commanded again, as soon as he finished with Kang Jia. The same thing happened again, making the disciple count in the sect reach five.
He then looked at Ning Jing who looks to be a bit more serious than in her usual joking mode. His eyes turned a bit gentler than before, as he asked the system to brand her.
"System! Register Ning Jing as the First elder of the Taohua sect."
As soon as Ning Qi commanded a seal came out of Ning Qi's hand. But the seal is kind of silvery white, as it made its way before branding onto Ning Jing's hands.
'Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting the first elder of the sect and clearing the hidden quest, Issuing the reward. Please check them, host.'
The system voice came again completely surprising Ning Qi. But he didn't check them right on the spot, as he still needs to follow the ceremony right now.
"System! Give me three sets of Astral Qi cultivation techniques and Divine strengthening techniques."
Ning Qi asked the system, as he decided to not waste much time on their cultivation.
"Brother! Can you also teach me that trick?" Ning Jing asked as she saw Ning Qi taking out things from nowhere.
Ning Qi rolled his eyes and didn't bother with her anymore. He handed the books to Nangong Xu, Shen Yue, and Kang Xuan one by one.
" Nangong Xu! You will guide Jing! Yue, you will guide Fen and Kang Xuan will guide Jia." Ning Qi said as he dropped the books in their hands.
"Sect master? I- " Nangong Xu is a bit troubled as he eyed Ning Jing.
"What? I thought you were fearless. Why are you afraid to teach a little girl?"
Ning Qi said as he finds it funny to see him this troubled. He couldn't help but playfully tease him, as it is a rare chance.
"What little girl? She is older than me and she looks to be the type that is a bane to me. Not to mention her status as the First sect elder." Nangong Xu muttered as he forcefully made a smile towards Ning Jing, who is also looking at him cutely blinking her eyes.
"Don't worry little brother! I'm not going to eat you or something. When it comes to important things, I will make sure to follow the rules properly."
Ning Jing said not want to create more trouble for Ning Qi anymore. She smiled at Nangong Xu gently instead of the mischievous smile that she had from the very start.
" Alright! Stop being a wuss now. What Jing said is true. Even though she is a bit silly at times, she knows how to behave herself and won't irritate people."
Ning Qi said affirming Ning Jing's words, as what she said is true.
" Also! You both take a look at the rules clearly on the first floor later. Make sure to follow them strictly. Even though you both are very close to me, everyone will be treated the same under the sect rules, including me."
Ning Qi said as he put on a serious expression.
"We will check them and make sure to follow them, brother Ning!"
Wen Fen assured gently, as she knew that Ning Qi is truly serious.
Kang Jia who already knew the rules also nodded her head.
Ning Qi gave a glance at Ning Jing, who also hurriedly nodded her head, as though a chicken pecking the rice.
" Sect master! Can you order for us, while we guide them? I am quite hungry today." Shen Yue said as she led Wen Fen to one of the mats. While Kang Xuan also brought his daughter to another side.
Only Nangong Xu politely stood beside Ning Jing who is still choosing a mat to sit on with a wry smile on his face.
" Hm! Alright, Yue..." Ning Qi nodded as he took his mobile out, before slowly making his way to the sect masters chair.
" But daily eating outside is kind of hard. It's better to hire a chef to provide us with meals. Let's decide later."
Ning Qi thought to himself, as he ordered food first. He is quite impatient to check the rewards issued first.
"System! Open the sect panel!" Ning Qi commanded.
