Chapter 21 - Pick Them

After getting out of the shop, Gai Luo and Ye Xin both moved towards the registration building again, they wanted to know the information about where they could form a team.

Soon they reached the place and there was still a long line in front of the building there were many stalls all around, selling all sorts of things and they could also notice one more thing that they failed to notice previously.

Many small groups around the area were trying to talk to the examinees. And Ye Xin instantly understood what these people were trying to talk about.

"Look, they are all recruiting the people for their teams." Ye Xin said with a smile.

Gai Luo looked at the small groups and nodded. "Should we go and ask them?" He said.

"No, let's wait and see first." Ye Xin didn't wanna take any hasty decision. He knew that things were not as easy as they seemed in this world, and soon he realized what was the problem here and then sighed.

Gai Luo noticed the uneasy expression on Ye Xin's face and frowned. "What happened to you Ye Xin, you look troubled?" He asked.

"Most of the people here are scammers. Look they are promising that they would help you get in a good sect and they will charge money for that, however I am sure that they are scammers and would never show up tomorrow." Ye Xin said and pointed at some of the groups.

"How are you so sure that they are scammers?" Gai Luo asked.

"Or why would they let people get in the sect for so cheap, that group there is only charging five gold coins for a top-grade sect, it's even less than a silver beast price." Ye Xin said.

Gai Luo looked at the groups again and then suddenly an enlightened expression appeared on his face, he even got slightly angry at the fact that these people were trying to scam innocent guys and girls.

And if not for Ye Xin then he might have gotten scammed by them too.

"Then what should we do?" Gai Luo asked with a worried expression on his face.

Ye Xin listened to him and took in a deep breath, "Let's wait for now, I am sure that we will get our chance. It's no use worrying about the matters we can't control." He said.

Gai Luo understood his words and also turned silent and it didn't take long before they saw the first genuine group looking for a member.

They knew that this group was genuine because the leader of the group was someone they were familiar with.

It was none other than Mao Roulan from Gale City, one of the biggest cities other than the capital city, and she was the daughter of the city lord there.

Ye Xin has seen her at the beast taming ceremony where she tamed a four-winged Pegasus which was a spirit beast.

And that four-winged Pegasus was currently standing by her side, looking at everyone present with a threatening glare.

Beside her, there were two more people, one of them was a thin guy and the other one was a girl, she was wearing a red colored robe and even her hair was red. Her figure was enchanting as if she was a succubus.

The thin guy was covered in a cloak and even his face had a black colored mask. Ye Xin also knew him as he had seen him in the beast-taming ceremony. He was none other than Kang Huang from Kang Clan.

It was a clan full of assassins. Although his face was covered Ye Xin instantly identified him because of the small cat that was resting on his shoulder.

It was a Death's Kiss and although it looked harmless, it was also a spirit beast.

"So he has decided to help Mao Roulan to get first place, it seems like he wants to stay as an underdog." Ye Xin murmured and nodded.

There were already three people in their group and they needed two more, it was clear that they came here looking for people to recruit.

Mao Roulan coughed a few times to get everybody's attention and just like she expected the whole area turned silent.

"I need two more people to join my team, if anyone wants to then summon your beast and let us see them, if they meet our standards then you can join our team."

"For anyone that meets our standards not only do we guarantee entery to the Heihui Sect we will even give them a hundred gold coins each." She said in a calm tone, however, her voice was loud enough that everyone in the area understood her words.

Ye Xin also listened to her words and was interested, although he didn't care for the seat in Heihui Sect as he was confident that he could get it himself if Gai Luo was in his team, both of them could get into the sect.

What he was interested in were the hundred gold coins, which was a huge sum of money for them.

He turned around and glanced at Gai Luo and his eyes were glimmering, he understood that Gai Luo was also extremely interested in the gold coins.

Everyone soon started summoning their beasts in the area to show them to Mao Roulan and the other two.

Gai Luo on the other hand looked at Ye Xin with an excited expression on his face. "Ye Xin, what do you think? Should we also try?" He asked.

Ye Xin chuckled at his expression and then nodded, "There is no harm in trying." He said and also pulled out Hong Hai.

Gai Luo looked at Ye Xin pulling out his squid and then also summoned his sand eater.

Soon they were hundereds of beasts in the area.

Mao Roulan looked at the beasts and sighed, she even shook her head in disappointment. She then looked at Kang Huang who was standing near her.

"Kang Huang, I told you before we won't get anyone good if we kept looking like this, we have already wasted so much time, it would be better if we asked your clan for help." She said.

Kang Huang stayed silent at her words for a few minutes, however after some time he finally spoke. "No, I can't take help from my clan, they will laugh at me if they find out that I can't even form a good team on my own and by the way, I am not even interested in getting the first place." He said in a lethargic tone as he swept his eyes throughout the area once more.

As he was looking around, his gaze suddenly stopped on a beast silently floating in the air. It was a red-colored squid and just as he looked at the beast even the cat on his shoulder opened its eyes and looked at it.

Kang Huang looked at his cat and after some seconds of silence, he chuckled.

"What are you laughing for? I am worried here." Mao Roulan complained in an annoyed tone. "Let's go back, there is no one good here." She said and turned around.

"Wait." Kang Huang stopped her suddenly.

"What? You want to laugh at me even more?" An annoyed expression appeared on her face.

"You have to trust me on this one, don't ask questions, just go and select that guy with the red-colored squid." Kang Huang said and looked at the squid.

Mao Roulan frowned at his words and then turned around to look at Ye Xin, to her he looked extremely average. From his clothes, she could tell that he was a poor villager.

So why does Kang Huang want this guy on her team?

"Are you sure?" She asked again.

"I can tell that he is pretty strong and the sand eater guy near him is also quite good." Kang Huang said.

Mao Roulan looked at the sand eater standing near Ye Xin and then her eyes narrowed suddenly, she could feel a strong murderous aura from the beats, and even her Four Winged Pegasus reacted when she landed her gaze on the beast.

"That sand eater... It's strong..." She murmured under her breath as she looked at Kang Huang.

"Told you so, and I am sure that the squid is even stronger than the Sand Eater." He said.

Mao Roulan looked back at the squid and narrowed her eyes. She could feel a strong murderous aura on the sand eater but she couldn't sense anything on the squid.

It looked extremely normal to her. And what was most surprising to her was the fact that she couldn't identify the species of their beast, she had never seen or heard about any beast like this squid. It has hundreds of arms.

One has to know that Mao Roulan was a study freak, she has read many books on the various types of beasts and the fact that she had never heard about this kind of squid only meant one thing.

"That's a wild one." She looked at Kang Huang with a frown on her face.

"That's what makes it even more interesting." Kang Huang said and chuckled again.
