Upon seeing Baili Junyu choosing to cultivate in the same hall as Xia Zhiqing, a touch of melancholy appeared in Yuan Xiaoman's eyes.
Does this mean that Xia Zhiqing always holds a special place in Baili Junyu's heart?
She and Zhiqing were good friends, and she had never had any intention of competing with Zhiqing for someone's affection.
All these choices revolved around Baili Junyu.
If Baili Junyu chose her, she would be happy.
But if Baili Junyu chose Xia Zhiqing, she would still offer her blessings.
No matter what, they were all great friends.
Yuan Zhixin also noticed the change in Yuan Xiaoman's expression and knew of her feelings for Baili Junyu.
Although Yuan Xiaoman usually appeared carefree and didn't seem to care about anything, he had grown up with her and knew that this was the first time she had developed feelings for someone.
To have her first love rejected was undoubtedly a painful experience.
As her older brother, all he could do was provide comfort.
Yuan Zhixin patted Yuan Xiaoman's shoulder, hoping that she wouldn't be too upset about this matter.
At least, he would always be by her side as her brother.
Feeling Yuan Zhixin's concern, Yuan Xiaoman forced a smile on her face and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
Because Yuan Zhixin and Yuan Xiaoman would practice together, and Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu had been close friends for many years, they naturally wouldn't separate.
Thus, the groups were quickly determined.
Baili Hongzhuang, Xia Zhiqing, and Baili Junyu stood before Qin Ai.
Qin Ai smiled faintly. He had long known that Baili Hongzhuang would join his team.
Not to mention Baili Hongzhuang's identity as the Sect Master's granddaughter, just her first-place performance in the assessment competition was enough for him to nurture her well in the Zhuque Hall.
The three of them saluted Qin Ai, acknowledging him as their hall master. They would follow him from now on.
Gong Shaoqing, Dongfang Yu, and Pan Zimo stood before Yan Kaicheng. They chose the Qinglong Hall.
It happened to be suitable for the three of them to cultivate in the Qinglong Hall.
Yuan Zhixin, Yuan Xiaoman, and Dong Hongyun chose the Baihu Hall. Compared to Cheng Hefeng and the others, they were more familiar with Dong Hongyun.
Although they had conflicts with Dong Hongyun in the past, all those disagreements had already dissipated.
Moreover, Dong Hongyun had later helped them, so their impression of him was quite good.
Cheng Hefeng, Yu Junfei, and Shi Cairong remained in the Xuanwu Hall.
Seeing that everyone had quickly made their choices, the four hall masters nodded in satisfaction.
"Today is your first day of reporting. Once you have determined your respective halls for cultivation, there won't be any issues.
Later, you will go to your designated halls, and the elders will inform you of your future accommodations. From now on, focus on your cultivation within the halls," Yan Kaicheng said slowly.
"Yes!" Baili Hongzhuang and the others responded in unison.
"Although you have defeated many opponents to become members of the Tian Gang Sect, don't think that you can relax once you arrive here.
Your cultivation journey has just begun!
If you don't work hard to improve, you will be eliminated by the Tian Gang Sect just the same!
The achievements you made in the assessment competition are indeed impressive, but here, there are countless cultivators who are superior to you in talent.
Therefore, you have no right to be proud; you can only continue to strive. Do you understand?"
