"Greetings, Shenyi! Greetings to all the envoys!"
Qiao Jia, holding Qiao Hua's hand, ceremoniously paid her respects.
At that moment, everyone's gaze converged on them, and it was blatantly obvious that the just of-age little girl was trembling, her face written with panic.
Yet Qiao Jia, the rank 5 Human Master, remained unflinching, her heart not skipping a beat, her excitement completely settled.
"Very good, resilient in character, calm in the face of adversity, a promising seed indeed."
Ye Hanjun reached into his brow with two fingers and pulled out a gray, starry key, which he then inserted into Qiao Jia's forehead.
Her slender body shook, and the gray star mark that had been shining on her brow was instantly erased.
A second, identical but larger and clearer mark, immediately emerged.
"With my authority, I directly promote you to a high-ranking congregant," he said.
"As for you... being young, appropriate hardships will aid your growth, start from the junior level."
