Heavenly Dao Child 186 New Teammates

Ryuu was annoyed at that the people treating him like some exotic animal inside a zoo, as such he turned towards Lucius as he spoke, "Senior, is this enough for me to register."

Lucius nodded at that wordlessly as Ryuu made his way to a remote corner further away from this people, he was even incensed when people moved from his path treating him like a leper, but what took the cherry on top of the cake was the Gaius fellow who was for the better part complaining and cursing Ryuu with great hatred and jealousy, as Ryuu heard about everything because of his superior hearing because of his higher cultivation level he frowned, 'That arrogant self-centered fellow with superiority and inferiority complex, I would never want to be near him, I could bet all the spirit stones I have that he would try to kill me out of jealousy.'

As he stood alone he was once again approached by a giddy Lu Wu who was literally jumping up and down, "That was totally awesome big brother I knew you were awesome but this is otherworldly you are so cool."

Ryuu smiled at her enthusiasm as he spoke, "Well if you try hard and listen to your teacher you will be as strong as me one day.", his eyes briefly flickered to Gaius who was looking towards him with intense hatred and for a brief moment his eyes landed on Lu Wu as his mouth turn into a vicious snarl.

Ryuu was getting angry as time passed, 'That no good wash up cultivator, if he damages a single hair on Lu Wu's body I will skin him alive then make him cook and eat his own entrails.'

He was about to give Gaius a good dose of his killing intent but stopped himself upon hearing a cold voice in his ears, "Junior do not worry about that jealousy dog, I will protect my student you do not need to worry."

He turned towards Frozen Flames as he gave a short bow full of gratitude to her, before he began speaking with Lu Wu again, "So sister what is your current cultivation level?"

Lu Wu puffed up her chest as she spoke in prideful tone, "I am currently at peak Houtian Level and soon I would catch up to you, just you wait big brother."

Ryuu cracked a smile as he ruffled her hair as he spoke, "Of course I expect nothing less from you Lu Wu."

As they were speaking Aliyah and Alhma made their way towards Ryuu as they approached him Aliyah spoke, "Sister Wu, how do you know Senior Ryuu?"

Before Lu Wu could speak she was interrupted by Lucius who once again clapped his hand bringing everyone's attention towards him as he spoke, "Well we have finished sorting everyone out of the 60 people who have tried to register only 56 makes the cut now as you have seen a couple of them were thrown out as they did not meet the requirements but that does not mean you all are safe, because at the end of one week we will drop anyone whom we find detrimental to the expedition, during this time you all will be trying to form a sense of teamwork with your teams, 'Nether realm Grotto' is a treacherous area the minimum level of strength required is at least peak Wanxiang Adept at the outer area only which most of you are not as such we will send only those whom we find that they would survive, now moving on to the primary team will Fairy Aliyah, Fairy Alhma and Daoist Ryuu step forward."

At that they both stepped forward as Lucius spoke to them, "You three will be inducted in the primary team now you will follow me I will show you your room and for the rest Vel will take care of you."

As such the new group was escorted out the teacher of the two women decided to follow them along with Lu Wu and her teacher, "Daoist Lucius I hope it will not be a problem for you if we follow our students."

Lucius shrugged as he spoke, "No I do not have any problem as long as you do not disrupt or cause any form of problem."

As they were being escorted they were being escorted Lucius showed them the canteen location, alchemist's room, and an array master's room where they could perform their craft.

Lucius escorted them to a large room with a couple of bunk beds as he said, "This will be your room for the rest of your stay and now I will lay down the rules.

1) In case of any problem you are to approach me or Senior Agrippa.

2) Secondly attached to this room is two bathrooms and a kitchen feel free to us the kitchen but remember to that use all the items present carefully.

3) No fighting amongst yourselves is allowed, but sparing is allowed as long as you approach one of us for permission and we would allow it under proper supervision.

4) You have male and female staying together in a room as such I hope there will be no form of illicit relationship which would be punished severely.

5) Remember this is done to form a sort of bonding between team members before the expedition as such you are to spend as much time as possible with each other in order to build trust."

Frozen Sky, "Is there any problem if we maintain contact with my disciples during the stay?"

Lucius shook his head as he spoke, "No there is none Senior, as long as you do not cause any problem for the team there is no problem, you are free to visit them, teach them, advice but you may not spend the night here with them."

Lucius: "Information regarding the 'Nether realm Grotto' has been provided to you, they are all lying on your study table if you wish you may even carry them with you. Is there anything you may want to ask please feel free to ask now or I will be taking my leave and remember any form queries do not hesitate to ask your safety is our primary concern."

Ryuu: "Excuse me senior but what if we require any form of resources can we buy…."

Lucius stopped Ryuu's speaking with a chuckle, "Ah I forgot about the most important thing yes you can have any resource within limit for free of charge as such you do not have to worry about them just approach me or senior Agrippa with your requests."

He waited for a few seconds for any more questions before he spoke with a smile, "Well then I would leave all of you to settle down.", with that he turned towards the door to see Sylvana standing with a stoic visage studying each of them.

Lucius shook out from his shocked state as he greeted out as he kneeled in front of Sylvana, "Greetings Your Highness, how may I serve?", others following his example except Ryuu.

Sylvana spoke in a commanding tone, "Be at ease, Ryuu follow us.", with that she left with Ryuu running after her to catch up with her.

As Ryuu reached by her side an array flashed as a barrier enveloped them, Sylvana did not stop walking as the barrier moved along with them its work was to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.

Sylvana: "Brother there is something you should know, the hidden space is very fragile to the point that anyone above Immortal Level Cultivation entering it might cause the hidden space to start collapsing, we have tried to access it before and the result is disastrous the entire space started collapsing as such we had to postpone it, remember brother last time you had to a group protecting you secretly."

Ryuu nodded at that after how could he forget it, if it were not for the group he would not only have died even his soul would have ceased to exist because of his own foolishness.

Sylvana spoke with a heavy tone, "Unfortunately this time it will not be feasible so you have to watch your back seriously, if you make a mistake you might die as no one will be there to help you this time except your teammates who are very weak compared to you."

Ryuu sighed at that as he spoke, "I will try to keep it in my mind and be careful as much as possible."

Sylvana nodded at that with a smile as she spoke, "Ryuu so what do you think of you teammates?"

Ryuu shrugged as he spoke, "I have not spoken with them more than a few words as such I have no idea about anything about them, but one of their junior sister turned out to be a girl named Lu Wu, I hope you remember the girl we saved from being sold to the bastard of city lord's grasp by her own family."

Sylvana frowned hard before she cracked a smile as she spoke, "Ah I remember, also she had a Divine Body is that not right."

Ryuu nodded in affirmation as he spoke, "Yes big sister, but among them there is boy named Gaius, I have never seen someone so jealous with superiority and Inferiority complex, I will not be surprised if he tries to assassinate me out of sheer jealousy, the anger he showed towards not only me but anyone who surpassed him was astounding, not only that seeing Lu Wu speaking with me amiably I fear he might try to harm her just to spite me. How did someone like join the expedition is beyond me?"

Sylvana frowned at that as she spoke, "That is troubling I will make sure he will be thrown out of slightest of mistake, now baby brother I will have to leave so take care one of our sisters will definitely visit you again soon till then goodbye."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke innocently, "Good bye big sister and have fun with your paperwork.", before he ran away with a cheeky grin leaving an enraged Sylvana behind.

As Sylvana made her way to the carriage in front of which her guards and Agrippa stood dutiful, she stopped for a second as she whispered lowly, "You are already aware of our conversation with my brother, protect him from an hidden threat till he enters the hidden space and keep an on anyone trying to be hostile deal with them as you see fit but make sure they suffer for their transgression."

A shadow casted by a pillar simply shook a little as Sylvana resumed her walk towards her carriage.

Meanwhile Ryuu reached his room with a small smile on his face only to find himself being stared at by his future teammates as well as their teachers and their student he cursed himself from almost barging into the room without even being considerate of his roommates as such with a polite cough he spoke, "Excuse me but may I enter."
