Chapter 1364: Selecting Disciples

Staring at the unfamiliar woman at the door, Lin Yi's first reaction was a bit dazed, and he blurted out, "Who are you?"

"Pfft— what, you don't even recognize me?"

Hearing that voice, Lin Yi quickly caught on: "Miss Hongxiu? Why are you wearing a mask too?"

Hongxiu walked in with a smile, having changed into a white outfit, and with the mask on her face, no one would think she was the famous Miss Hongxiu.

"Of course I'm going with you all. It's way too boring here by myself. If you won't take me along, I'll just secretly follow."

As she spoke, Hongxiu leaned slightly toward Xiao Han. That was only one reason; there was an even bigger one — Xiao Han had finally come back, so she had to stay close to him. What if he disappeared again?

Hongxiu's abilities were very strong, so they had no reason to refuse her. Besides, even if she were discovered, it wouldn't really be a big problem.

Thus, the departing group split into two. One team was Xiao Han, Lin Yi, Xu Chenchen, and Huo Jinglin together.

The other team was Ning Chen, Gu Yanqi, Hongxiu, and Yan Lu and Little Qiongqi inside the Mount Kunlun Mirror.

As for Little Yunyao, she stayed behind at the inn. After all, she was a Snow Demon — going would make it far too easy to expose her identity.

Since they had already made masks, the two teams definitely couldn't head to the site together.

After discussion, Ning Chen's group would arrive at the Dongqing Sect Sect first and blend in among the others who had come to take part in the disciple selection, while Xiao Han's group would head over a little later.

If Xiao Han's group arrived first, there would probably be no one to receive Ning Chen's group.

Ordinary people who wanted to go to the Dongqing Sect Sect had to travel a long road, because the Dongqing Sect Sect was located up in the mountains. Ning Chen's group, however, only needed a single flight or teleportation to arrive.

Hongxiu teleported everyone to the gate of the sect. Quite a few people had already gathered outside. Ning Chen immediately led the two of them to blend into that crowd, listening to their talk.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard? Something happened at this Dongqing Sect."

"Yeah, yeah, I heard the so-called traitor the Dongqing Sect had identified has come back — the problem is, that person actually isn't a traitor."

"Is that so? I really don't know about that. But how long do we have to wait here? The sun is scorching — it's way too hot!"

"No idea. Could this be some kind of test for us?"

……

Ning Chen glanced up at the sun. When they had set out it was already close to noon, and now it was fully noon. The sun was hot and vicious — it really was hard to bear.

The great gate of the Dongqing Sect Sect before them remained tightly shut, showing no sign of opening.

"How is it? Are you hot?" Ning Chen asked with some concern, looking toward Gu Yanqi.

Having been tempered through an entire world, Gu Yanqi felt nothing at all from this level of fatigue and scorching sun — let alone the fact that her own ability was water.

Seeing that Gu Yanqi was truly fine, Ning Chen let out a slight breath of relief.

"Creak—"

Suddenly, the great gate swung open, and a baby-faced disciple with big eyes walked out.
