“Become a disciple of the temple?” Yang Kai looked at her in amazement.
“Are you not willing?” Gao Xue Ting looked over coldly, her voice dropping a few degrees, “Are you looking down on the temple? Is it not good enough for you?”
“No, absolutely not,” Yang Kai waved his hands frantically. “It’s just that Azure Sun Temple is such a big Sect. Is it really okay to recruit someone without any procedures?”
Gao Xue Ting snorted, “Normally you’d have to pass all kinds of examinations and tests to become a disciple. To put it bluntly, the temple only recruits new disciples once every ten years. At that time, several hundred thousand people participate in the trials in Azure Sun Mountain Range and no more than three hundred are ever accepted. Even among these three hundred disciples, only half will become true disciples while the others will remain outer disciples who never have an opportunity to enter the Inner Sect, but you…” she slanted her eyes towards Yang Kai, “We might be able to make an exception.”
She looked at Yang Kai as if she just offered him a great deal, and it would be a great loss if he were to refuse.
“Hehe…” Yang Kai laughed dryly. “Then many thanks to Elder Gao and Elder Chen for their good intentions.”
“So, what is your decision?” Gao Xue Ting questioned further, not giving Yang Kai time to think at all.
Yang Kai cleared his throat, fully aware of the seriousness of this question. He appeared to be calm, but his mind was spinning.
Soon, he replied, “Elder Gao should know that Junior is used to wandering freely and has never joined any Sect before…”
“What about the Blue Feather Sect?” Gao Xue Ting interrupted him directly.
Yang Kai stared at Gao Xue Ting and asked, “Elder Gao, did you secretly investigate me?”
Gao Xue Ting said lightly, “We performed a casual check, and this information wasn’t hard to obtain. As you said, our Sect is a great Sect and has many connections, it’s not a difficult task at all to investigate a few people.”
The corners of Yang Kai’s mouth twitched and said, “Then how much does Elder Gao know about this Junior?”
Gao Xue Ting said, “Apart from the colour of your underwear, this Queen knows everything, including that you’re not a native of the Star Boundary.”
Yang Kai was sweating profusely as he wiped his forehead, “Elder Gao is really well-informed.”
On the inside, he was cursing out Bian Yu Qing. If he was not mistaken, Gao Xue Ting’s source of information was definitely her.
Bian Yu Qing was just a Third-Order Dao Source Realm cultivator. If Gao Xue Ting really wanted information from her, there was no way Bian Yu Qing could refuse.
Yang Kai just wondered when Gao Xue Ting had done this.
“Since Elder Gao knows about Junior’s past with Blue Feather Sect, Elder Gao must also know why I joined and what happened after,” Yang Kai knew he could not hide it any longer and could only tell the truth.
“En,” Gao Xue Ting nodded.
“I was quite unhappy during those months in Blue Feather Sect!” Yang Kai said seriously.
“Oh, don’t worry, the temple is different from those small Sects like Blue Feather Sect. You will feel at home here. If you want, this Queen can even take you as her Disciple and teach you how to cultivate,” Hearing this, Yang Kai gaped at Gao Xue Ting in surprise.
Her making such a proposal showed that Gao Xue Ting really wanted to recruit him into Azure Sun Temple.
However, even from an objective standpoint, Yang Kai did have such potential.
He was young and had good cultivation, an obvious target for all major Sects to compete for.
Moreover, he was a Dao Source Grade Alchemist and also a cultivator from the Lower Star Fields. He was strong and had a strong foundation, having also taken an Extraordinary Treasure Pill. In other words, it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Emperor Realm.
Azure Sun Temple did not want to let go of a potential Emperor. His qualifications were enough for Gao Xue Ting to want to recruit him.
Of course, with Gao Xue Ting’s aloof personality, this was not a task she would normally take up unless someone had directed her, and who other than Wen Zi Shan could be the person behind that?
Yang Kai figured everything out very quickly and was honestly quite tempted.
Gao Xue Ting’s proposal was not very shrewd, but it was very sincere. During this period, Yang Kai also felt the sincerity and concern of the few Azure Sun Temple Elders and he got along well with Xia Sheng and the other disciples.
It was not a bad idea to be a disciple of Azure Sun Temple.
There would be all kinds of advantages to joining a great force like Azure Sun Temple and few would ever dare to challenge such a disciple.
However, Yang Kai had his own concerns.
His biggest concern was the Demon Spirit sealed in his body.
When he was possessed by the Demon Spirit and was reduced to a Demon that day, he had battled against Gao Xue Ting. If he really joined the temple, in the case that this information was disclosed, he was unsure what Gao Xue Ting would do to him.
The Demon Spirit of the Ancient Great Demon was not something that could be ignored.
