Chapter 3: Recruitment Ceremony
Crimson Snow Sect’s disciple recruitment ceremony was being held on a vast expanse of unnaturally flat land. It was entirely covered in a layer of ankle-high, soft grass, clearly the result of attentive nurturing.
Rows of tents had been erected in this area for the families of test takers, especially those who had arrived from afar. Servants of the sect could be seen running from tent to tent with food and other necessities.
When the envoys from the Green Curtain City walked out of the Spirit Flower Valley, the first thing they faced was a surprised look from everyone in this area.
"So late?"
"Are you all here to take part in the recruitment tests?"
"Go! Go! Go! Don’t just stand there! Hurry!"
"Today’s the final date. They’ll close down the procedures by the evening. Almost all slots have been filled!"
Facing the urging of the servants and the snide comments of the early birds, their group fell into utter chaos.
Old man Ming Zi grabbed Han Xuhan by the collar and kicked him out of the carriage.
"Why are you taking so long to get ready? You’re not headed to war! Go participate in the closest testing area, dammit!"
Watching the young lad trudge behind his rushing peers, Ming Zi shook his head despondently.
