The White Tiger's Peak Master is a famous fairy among the immortal sects, known for her martial feats and stunning appearance Mei Yue is an immortal cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage and possesses an indomitable spirit.
That fairy is now residing in her seclusion area where she has spent almost three years.
Lin Haoti walked the path to the seclusion area: a great cave rounded by a lake. He stood in a flat boulder near the cave entrance, submerged in water, and spoke:
"Chief Disciple Lin Haoti greets his master. This humble disciple apologizes for interrupting his master training, but I have come to tell you, master, that the Selection will happen within a month."
The young man didn't receive any words. He announced his leaving and moved out the boulder, without perceiving that, inside the cave, a tall figure was following him with her eyes. Her sharpened and regretful eyes.
...
Each three years the Gulong Sect opens its doors to an massive amount of cultivators from each direction of the compass card. After testing their strength; outer arts and inner arts, combat skills and wisdom the chosen will be accepted as internal disciples. That is what the Selection is for.
As the Chief Disciple, Lin Haoti has the duty to verify the organization for the Selection. He was in charge of the battle platforms where the cultivators would show their combat skills.
"Here you are Wang. I'm glad that you have spared some of your time to help me here."
" ... Senior Brother... It's okay, I'm not so busy today."
"Are you without lectures?"
"Yes, I'm completely free today. I was going to meditate and train my sword arts when I receive your letter, so I decided to help."
"I'm very thankful that you chose to come."
Lin, Wang and a third person verified the platforms for the combat test. It wasn't a difficult task, they just had to perform some movements and if they found an unbalanced spot they would report it.
That was an easy task and was quickly finished. Lin was leaving when Wang Xyue approached him.
"Senior Brother, would you go with me on a mission some day? I know that you will be busy even after the selection, so after that."
"A mission? I never thought that you would ask me to go on a mission with you, junior sister. We will have to wait and see if something shows up. But we have time, a month to be precise."
"Yes, you're right."
"So, if you excuse me. Ah, I almost forgot. Did you have news of Chi Wei? Had she left her room?"
"No, she didn't."
"Okay. I would like to ask you a favor, Wang. Would you go there and talk with Chi Wei? That behavior isn't common from her. I'm worried that something might have happened."
"Okay, I will."
"Oh, thanks Wang. She hadn't talked to me about any issues but she was crying the last time I saw her. I'm very grateful to you. Now I am leaving."
Lin Haoti walked towards the White Tiger Palace, leaving his thinking junior sister standing behind him. She, who was deepening in her own thoughts, was now heading to her room in the Senior Disciples Quarter.
"He is far more bright than I remember. Perhaps he isn't connected with them yet."
