Zhu Long"s voice was intimidating, although his voice wasn"t as deep as w.a.n.g Tiantang"s story told about him by w.a.n.g Tiantang as well as the coldness in his face made Zhu Long a very intimidating figure to those who were watching from the front gates. Zhu Long looked around and then looked towards Han Qiang, "Uncle didn"t give us that much time to decide how to select these people, how about we take the ones who have good enough cultivation, we will then slowly access their talent, I will try to base this out of hard work so if you work hard enough, you will be given opportunities to get more powerful as well as get more skills rather than basing on how much of a boost they have without working for it."
"Brother Lin"s thinking is really good but very different from most sects, who acknowledge the talent and only focus on those who have it. I"d say it is both smart and foolish, But If you can figure out a way, we could bring a difference on how different sects could work, maybe create a sect which is friendly to hard work as well as those with talent, we can"t focus on those who can"t pa.s.s a certain bottleneck just because he works more than others do. But we can commend them in different ways." Han Qiang said as she looked towards the different people who waited in silence, they saw Zhu Long and Han Qiang conversing so they tried to be in their best behavior.
But some weren"t respectful, some started to get irritated and rowdy. "He"s younger than me but he dares!? I don"t care who you are but to keep us quiet and just converse with you woman, is that why you called us here?!" A man said in anger as he looked towards Zhu Long with annoyance.
Zhu Long looked towards the man and a small smile came upon his face, "I shall do what I think, who are you to question my actions?!" Zhu Long said as he looked towards the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked"s face twitched, he didn"t know what to say, he thought that Zhu Long would have ignored his words but what happened was the opposite of his thoughts. The man looked down and said, "Master Zhu, forgive me, I didn"t mean to offend, I shan"t do the same mistakes again. I only have been getting a bit too anxious because of this upcoming war, please let this man go." He felt Zhu Long"s cold gaze and thought that he would be killed by Zhu Long.
Han Qiang looked towards the man and smiled, "There is no problem, just take this as a warning, If these disrespectful actions do continue, there will be punishments but just for this time, you are forgiven. But we are keeping an eye on you. Now, Let me begin.." Han Qiang spoke before Zhu Long because she knew that Zhu Long would have reacted more violently, "Becoming a leader also means you need to show some kindness, Brother Zhu, I hope you don"t mind this but I had to do it." She said to Zhu Long via Soul communication.
Zhu Long shook his head, He knew that Han Qiang was only doing this for the Sect"s own good. He crossed his arms and watched. Han Qiang smiled and then looked towards the crowd of people underneath her, standing in front of the gates. "Now, As all of you might have guessed, we don"t have many elders here and well, we didn"t have much time to fully make a course on sect entrance, so we will be selecting those who are above the nascent stage as inner disciples and those under the nascent as outer disciples. This is just a basic and simple division, if you all work hard enough, everyone will get an opportunity. Sect LEader Zhu is someone who admires hard work even more than talent so if you work hard enough to improve yourself, you will get more scrolls and even more weapons." The crowd cheered when they heard Han Qiang"s words, they felt like they could achieve something in the sect if they worked.
"Now, everyone, after the gates open, I want you all to enter in a coordinated fas.h.i.+on, no pus.h.i.+ng no pulling, I personally will make the selections so I will be observing everyone from now onwards, every action will is monitored." Han Qiang said as he told the people under Old King to open the door.
As the selections started, Zhu Long noticed a man rus.h.i.+ng over, by the looks of it, he was a 1st void cultivator, "Hmm… It seems like he is the Emperor"s guard." Zhu LOng got a closer look of the man, he looked towards Han Qiang and said, "I"ll leave this to you, it seems like Uncle sent a message."
"You"ll owe me." Han Qiang teased Zhu Long as she flew to the training grounds, "I just hope none of the partic.i.p.ants saw that, it could be embarra.s.sing." If there was anyone who could tease Zhu Long, it could be Han Qiang.
"Master Zhu!" The emperor"s guard said as he kneeled in front of Zhu Long. "Tell me, Why did uncle send you." Zhu Long went straight into the topic. The Guard smiled, "Just as the emperor told me, Straight to the point."
Zhu Long sighed, "Just tell me, I have to manage this sect as well."
"Actually, I am here for that reason, I have been appointed to help Master Zhu to manage these people, who might be the future disciples. I was told that you might need an instructor as well to teach them, Well, I can teach them proper combat, they may be useful if the war proceeds further, we will need more troops." The emperor"s guard"s words made Zhu Long smile.
"At least it makes my job easier, but tell me, Why did uncle send you here. A void cultivator working here training others instead of helping in the battle against the Fire Empire and the Sabre Sect."
