Chapter 479 Elder Xuan Jiao's offer

Monarch of Time

It was obvious that the young man behind the 'Faction Registration counter' was angry at Shun Long and would no longer mince his words. If he wasn't obliged to do it, he wouldn't even be willing to explain how Shun Long could accept someone else in his faction.

At that moment, his eyes suddenly lit up as he stared at the peerlessly beautiful black-haired young woman next to Shun Long, while a flattering smile appeared on his face as he then continued

''You are sister Liu Mei right?

Although Shun Long has refused senior brother Qian Tao's offer, the offer still stands for you.

As long as you are willing, you can join senior brother Qian Tao's faction by yourself.

For someone like you, I am sure that senior brother Qian will be very happy to accept you in his faction!''

As he finished his words, an eager look flashed past the young man's eyes, certain that he would definitely receive a sizeable reward if he could really get one of the geniuses of this batch to accept this offer.

This was even more so for Liu Mei, Xie Xingyi, Jiang Chen, Bai Longtian and Jun Ren, since word of all 5 of them possessing an immortal fate had already started to spread among some disciples of the sect.

Although those who possessed immortal fates within the sect weren't too rare, they weren't common either!

Everyone knew that those with immortal fates were the most talented ones in the sect and they could very likely even reach the top 100 rankings of the Martial Roll of Honor! Someone at the top 100 rankings in the Martial Roll of Honor was even qualified to enter one of the top 10 factions!

''Having someone at the level of the 100 strongest disciples in the future in his own faction in the future would definitely make even senior brother Qian Tao mad with joy!''

As he thought of this, the young man behind the 'Faction Registration' counter stared at Liu Mei eagerly as he waited for her answer.

However, contrary to his expectations, Liu Mei only shot him a derisive look that was filled with contempt, before she looked at Shun Long and asked gently

''Long-ge, can I be the first one to join?''

The young man's face suddenly turned extremely stiff and looked like he had just swallowed a fly.

He couldn't believe that not only Liu Mei would reject his offer in public without a second thought, but she would even ask Shun Long if she could be the first one to join his faction.

This was no different than if she was slapping him in the face.

After all, he had just said that no one else would join Shun Long's faction aside from Jiang Chen, but his words were swallowed before Shun Long had even left the Administration Hall!

Besides, she wasn't just rejecting him, she was also rejecting senior brother Qian Tao's offer as well!

Shun Long's lips curved up as he patted Liu Mei's head with a smile on his face, before he nodded his head and extended his right hand that had just grabbed his sect identification token from the counter in front of him, and said

''Here.''

Without any hesitation, Liu Mei placed her token next to Shun Long's, before a white light covered her own token a few moments later.

The words 'Shun Long's faction' appeared on the back of her token for a single moment, before they quickly disappeared.

Not paying any attention to the young man behind the 'Faction Registration counter' any longer, Shun Long held Liu Mei's hand as he turned around and walked out of the Administration Hall.

After walking through the sect for a while, Liu Mei looked at Shun Long and asked curiously

''Long-ge, are we heading to the Assignment Hall?''

Liu Mei clearly remembered that Shun Long had mentioned how he wanted to purchase some things from the sect, so she had assumed that they would go towards the Golden Treasures Hall right away. However, the direction that they were headed towards was the Assignment Hall instead.

Shun Long nodded his head as he said

''I'm actually a bit curious about the missions of the sect and their classification. Let's take a look at those faction missions before we look for the Golden Treasures Hall.''

Liu Mei nodded her head, as she too was curious about the sect's missions after hearing the words of the young man behind the 'Faction Registration' counter.

From his words, it seemed like the C-rank and even the D-rank faction missions that one needed to complete for one's faction to become eligible to join the faction wars wouldn't be easy.

After all, regardless of whether he was just a follower or not, it was true that the young man behind the 'Faction Registration' counter had reached the peak of rank 4 of the Nascent Soul.

A few moments later, Shun Long and Liu Mei arrived just a few meters away from the gates of a bustling, enormous building, where hundreds of outer disciples were coming and going from its entrance.

At the top of the building, the 2 words that were plated in gold instantly attracted Shun Long's attention

''Assignment Hall''

At that moment however, before he and Liu Mei even had the time to start walking towards the Assignment Hall, Shun Long felt a gust of wind that carried the fragrance of a perfume sweeping past his face, as a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared in front of him and Liu Mei practically out of nowhere.

This woman was dressed in white robes, while her facial features were gentle, with limpid black eyes, a small nose and curved eyebrows.

However, what surprised Shun Long and Liu Mei the most, was her white robes that were similar to Elder Cao Ling's.

During the fourth test Shun Long had noticed, that the white-robed Dao Emperor's Elder Cao Ling's and the peak Dao King's Elder Zhuan's robes had some differences.

Cao Ling's and this woman's robes had 2 golden threads around their waist, while Elder Zhuan's robes only had one of them.

The beautiful middle-aged woman who had her hair tied up in a ponytail first looked at Shun Long for a few moments while her lips formed a bright smile, before she then turned her attention towards the yellow-robed Liu Mei next to him.

The beautiful woman's smile turned even more enchanting as she stared at the peerlessly beautiful young woman in front of her, before she asked in a gentle tone

''You are Liu Mei right? Hehe, you did well not covering that pretty face any longer. My name is Xuan Jiao and I am an inner court Elder of the sect. After taking a look at your fight during the fourth test and after seeing your fate I have taken a liking to you. Hehe, you are the only disciple in the entire sect who has comprehended the Dao of Death, and I am also the only Elder who can give you some guidance into it. Are you willing to accept me as your master?''
