He stood there frozen and shook his head. ""This child has some strange words. What does she mean goodbye?""Inside the gate, strange things started appearing and suddenly the door turned solid and the girl disappeared. The cultivator smiled at the man. ""Congratulations. Your daughter pa.s.sed the test. She was directly transferred to her dormitories.""
The man stood there frozen and scrunched his eyebrows. ""What do you mean directly transferred? She needs to tell me what position she got.""
The cultivator shook his head. ""I am here only to let them through the gate. What kind of position they have to know only those from the inner yard. From now on your daughter is part of our sect so until Headmaster doesn"t permit she can"t leave the sect premises until she doesn"t pa.s.s rest of tests.""
The man came closer and roared. ""What do you mean she has no right to come out. I need to know did she get a good position or not?""
Cultivator smiled at him. ""In our sect, there is no such thing as bad position. Those that fail to have the right to live in the village or go back home. As she already pa.s.sed the test she is part of our sect and until she doesn"t voice her own wish to come out, we will not push her into anything.""
The man suddenly rose his fist and wanted to hit the cultivator, but he hit the wall and bounced a few feet back. ""What"s going on? I am their father and I have right...""
Suddenly a pretty woman came out of the gate and smiled at him. ""Father, I heard you wanted to sell sister to that disgusting man from the Inner Turmoil sect? Are you crazy? Father, I know you look down on the two of us as we are females but we belong to Grounding Fairy sect. Do not look down on us.""
He started laughing. ""I felt bad about her tears so I wanted to give her chance to be with you together. But now she doesn"t want to listen to me? What is her position in the sect and what is yours?""
She sighed. ""I was lazy and didn"t cultivate so they lowered my position from senior to junior. Sister will know after going through more tests. But we are all cultivators so..."" Suddenly she saw a hand coming down and she calmly caught his arm. ""Father, as I said, you look down on our sect. We are strong, be we don"t show off. I am just junior in our sect and I can hold your surge of power, think how strong are others inside? Sister, even by pa.s.sing the test, became powerful being. Be happy for us. I have to go. I stopped cultivating just to see you. Too bad, even after fifty years, you didn"t change much.""
He was thrown away to the side and in surprise fell on is back. From the impact, he could hear a few bones cracking and yelped. ""You unfilial child, I am your father. Grounding Fairy Sect... If your mother didn"t push me to send you a few decades ago to this place I would have sent you to Inner Turmoil sect. That person liked you even more than he likes your sister. He told me he will take her in only because she looks like you.""
She sighed and shook her head. ""You killed our mother after I left. If I knew at that time you had such ideas I would have taken the little one with me and have raised her myself. Father, we are no more than just pieces of meat that can be used to bargain with such disgusting people? How could you?"" There was no more she could say so she just gave up.
She turned around and saw Kendra, her feet stocked but when she saw Kendra avoiding her eyes she knew there must be a story behind so she calmly pa.s.sed her. In pa.s.sing, she heard a whisper. ""Your sister has a strong wish to become a cultivator. That is good. Don"t worry, they won"t be able to touch you ever.""
She smiled brightly while raising her head. ""My sister is young but pa.s.sed such strong test. I am honoured."" Before entering the gate she turned her head. ""Father, you should feel honoured as well. You have no idea that only a small amount of people can pa.s.s the tests."" She pointed at a long line of people that waited at different gates and a long line of people that were going back from wherever they came from.
He humphed and stood up. ""From today on you and your sister have nothing to do with my clan. I will erase you two from our bloodline. Do not even dare to ask us for help.""
She chuckled. ""In that case, I am thanking father. Senior brother, did you hear his words? If someone comes from that clan, they have no right to call for us. We do not belong to them anymore anyway. No need to notify us.""
The cultivator gave her a slight nod. ""I will write that as an official matter and all the gatekeepers will get notice. Don"t worry. It was his words. From now on, you and your can sister cultivate in peace.""
She smiled and pa.s.sed the gate. Slowly she started walking the beautiful steps up to the sect island and after while she disappeared between clouds in mid of stairs. Everyone outside that waited for the test was astonished and couldn"t wait to go up.
Most of them already heard stories about beautiful gardens and saw a beautiful sight even from outside. Living and cultivating at such a beautiful place seems quite exciting and enjoyable.
The cultivator waved his hand for the next to come closer while the man looked at the clouds. A strange sound made him come out daze as the person was denied entrance. ""Sorry. Your cultivation level is fine but your soul was affected by greed. We need stable people that don"t have such thoughts. I will give you test results and you can apply to some other sect with this.""
The cultivator just snorted and when he saw his test results he took the paper and carefully put inside his clothes. ""Then thanks."" And left while that man stared at him in wonder but the gatekeeper just shrugged. It is not first or last time...
