The disciples were all gathered outside of town. Testing them inside the city wasn't a good idea because of the mortals and some unfriendly cultivators who might try to do something funny, like getting in the way of my test.
Tang Yusheng felt good about himself after finding many disciples for us. I felt good for him too. It was a decent job coming from him, and yet again, he's someone I can trust to finish the tasks.
Was he working that hard because I was his master? Or was he seeking the Elder position so much he would do anything, like finding disciples for the Sect? That was a dull job to overtake, and he did it flawlessly.
I asked Tang Yusheng to call all the twelve disciples and wait for me outside. I did not want to be there with them from the start. It would be best to come out of nowhere and show my mighty power and why I was the Patriarch of the Sect.
"I am so nervous," one of the candidates said, "All the other Sects refused me, so this is my best chance!"
