The third elder's face revealed a trace of a smile as he said, "Hmm, that kid is not bad. He is well worth the hefty reward we've put forward this time. I will take good care of him from now on."
Nangong Wan laughed heartily and said, "Third Brother, stop playing these games. I noticed that kid first. Spirit Summoning is a perfect match for me. You already have so many disciples, and I haven't found one capable of inheriting my mantle. I've already spoken to the Vice Sect Hierarch. This competition is just another test for him. I intend to take him as my direct disciple. Otherwise, why would I ask the Vice Sect Hierarch to arrange for this level 9 fixed soul cannonball to be brought in? I've invested so much, so you can forget about snatching him away."
