Chapter 191: Your Luck, Sister, is Excited for You in Advance
Today's testing arena attracted many martial artists, but only fourteen were recruited in the end.
Including Su Chen, five of them were at the Eighth Stage Novice Realm.
The other nine were at the Ninth Stage Perfect Realm.
They were the ones with the closest strength among the many Ninth Stage Perfect Realm cultivators.
The other eliminated martial artists seemed to have little complaint.
Before coming, they seemed to have already expected it.
In the Northern Abyss Kingdom, Windriding Pavilion was not an ordinary minor sect.
Not being selected was not something they could complain about.
After the selection ended, Su Chen and the others entered the Windriding Pavilion's manor compound.
As Yang Yueyao watched Su Chen's back, she couldn't help but still feel a little dazed.
Although she said she didn't feel that way, Su Chen's long blade wielding just now had truly made her a little dazed.
Feeling her state of mind fluctuate slightly, Yang Yueyao shook her head gently.
She tried to stop thinking about him, about that senior brother who filled her with hatred.
When she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Su Chen again, a hint of coldness appeared in Yang Yueyao's expression.
At this moment, Su Chen was still unaware that he had been mistaken for someone else.
Yang Yueyao's subtle actions, though hidden, were still noticed by her junior brothers and sisters.
Everyone also understood that their senior sister still had Senior Brother Yin on her mind.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have stared at Su Chen's figure in a daze.
After entering the Windriding Pavilion's manor compound, the accommodations had already been arranged.
Chi Xiaoyun explained the Windriding Pavilion's regulations to the group and left each of them with a booklet.
The content of the booklet also introduced some information about the Windriding Pavilion.
This was to prevent mistakes due to the group's lack of understanding of the Windriding Pavilion.
As for task execution, it would begin after two days of simple training.
After explaining everything, Chi Xiaoyun began distributing the booklets.
As she handed the booklet to Su Chen, a faint smile appeared on her face.
"You might be in luck, oh, seize the opportunity~"
In Chi Xiaoyun's eyes, Su Chen's figure when wielding the blade technique resembled Yin Nanyi.
For this reason, their senior sister Yueyao would likely be a little more partial towards him.
So, she naturally felt that Su Chen was in luck.
The others around them also heard her words, their faces subtly showing a hint of jealousy.
But Su Chen didn't catch the deeper meaning in her brief statement.
His first reaction was to suspect that his true strength had been discovered by them.
However, after careful consideration, that shouldn't be the case.
Finding a comfortable spot to sit down, Su Chen began flipping through the booklet.
In the Windriding Pavilion, there were a total of six court masters and one pavilion master.
Each court master led a branch, recruiting disciples and expanding their influence.
The branch that came to recruit guards today was one of them.
Yang Yueyao was the senior sister of this branch.
When it's time to go out and execute tasks, it will be arranged by the senior sister and senior brother of each branch," the booklet stated clearly.
Su Chen continued reading, and the booklet provided a clear explanation.
The Windriding Pavilion was strict in recruiting disciples, so each branch had a limited number of disciples, usually no more than twenty.
A sect with deep heritage indeed had a small number of disciples.
Precisely because of this scarcity, becoming a Windriding Pavilion disciple was highly prestigious.
However, with a small number of disciples, there were often not enough people to handle some tasks.
This was the reason for recruiting guards.
Within the Windriding Pavilion, guards had to follow the arrangements of the disciples.
But during task execution, the contribution rewards were the same for both guards and disciples.
The Windriding Pavilion, however, would not actively cultivate and guide the guards, essentially treating them as helpers hired through resource rewards.
But the booklet also specifically stated that as long as one's conduct was proper and without major mistakes,
The Windriding Pavilion would never drive out their guards without reason.
The booklet also mentioned several guards who had been appointed in the Pavilion for over a decade.
However, it didn't mention the strength and cultivation realms of the Pavilion's top experts.
From overhearing others' conversations, Su Chen learned that the cultivation realms in this realm were called the Radiant Glow Realm and the Jade Flower Realm, corresponding to the Ninth and Eighth Traces, respectively.
What realm would be above these? Su Chen didn't delve deeper, as he would soon begin his task.
He would find out about others' cultivation levels when the time came.
Living in the Windriding Pavilion, Su Chen enjoyed decent treatment in terms of clothing, food, and accommodation.
Wearing the Pavilion's outer robe in Great Arsenal City, he could feel the respect from the common folk.
Over the past two days, Chi Xiaoyun and the other disciples had been giving lectures to the newly recruited guards.
The content of these lectures was not related to cultivation but focused on task execution, understanding various concise instructions, and making decisions in different situations.
It was a sharing of experience.
During these lectures, Senior Apprentice Sister Yang Yueyao, as the eldest sister, would occasionally come to observe.
Her gaze would unconsciously linger on Su Chen for a moment.
She tried to control herself, but her fellow disciples noticed her actions.
These subtle movements were not missed by the others.
The faint smiles on her fellow disciples' faces made Yang Yueyao realize that her actions had been noticed.
She understood that her behavior had been seen.
At the same time, her face turned serious.
After two days of lectures, the related tasks were finally assigned.
For the Windriding Pavilion, as long as they wanted to take on tasks, there would always be some available.
However, the Pavilion usually chose tasks with a moderate level of difficulty.
This time, they were tasked with dealing with a manor occupied by a group of demons, including a Crystal Demon.
Su Chen guessed that this Crystal Demon was likely a powerful demon, approximately equivalent to an Eighth Trace cultivator.
If it were just a powerful demon, he could easily handle it alone, even without weapons.
Just before dawn, the group set off together, led by Chi Xiaoyun and two Windriding Pavilion disciples.
The demon-occupied manor was located next to another city.
The manor had originally belonged to a family of carpenters who chose this location outside the city for easy access to timber.
They had assumed that being close to the city would deter the demons from causing trouble.
Now, the entire manor was directly occupied by demons.
During the journey, Chi Xiaoyun would occasionally turn to look at Su Chen, a smile she couldn't suppress on her face.
After a few such instances, Su Chen directly asked Chi Xiaoyun what she meant by her smiles.
"You're in luck, and Senior Sister is happy for you in advance~"
"I don't know what Senior Sister means by 'luck.' What are you referring to?"
Chi Xiaoyun's smile deepened as she stroked her chin in thought.
"I can't explain it clearly, but rest assured that you'll definitely gain some benefits.
If this stand-in of yours can replace that person,
the rewards you'll receive in the future will be countless."
Chi Xiaoyun seemed excited as she spoke, as if hinting at some significant event for Su Chen.
Su Chen furrowed his brows upon hearing this, not understanding what she meant by the "stand-in."
When he asked further, Chi Xiaoyun just smiled and refused to elaborate.
She even suggested that Su Chen already knew too much, and it wouldn't be appropriate to say more.
