Chapter 1990: Recruiting Disciples

“Hey! This place is really dangerous, you know? If not for me coming at the perfect time, you would’ve had everything stolen by those two. Teaming up with me has only benefits and no consequences for you!” Zhang Zitong protested as she quickly chased after him. She even wanted to grab his sleeve to ask him again if he was sure, but she missed. She couldn't help but stare blankly in place.

Zu An thought to himself that she did have good intentions after all, so he stopped and warned her, “You’re really proud of those legs of yours, aren’t you?”

Zhang Zitong’s face heated up and she reflexively drew her legs closer together. One of her legs bent slightly, her toes gently tapping on the ground behind her. She said, “I thought that you were different from other people, but you were actually that kind of person.”

Zu An was speechless. He replied, “Do you really have no idea what kind of place this is? Everyone here is ruthless and vicious, and yet you’re strutting around in short-shorts all because you want to show off your legs? Your looks are passable too. Are you really not scared of drawing their attention?” She had been his subordinate, after all, and she had ‘saved’ him, so he felt he had to give her that warning.

Zhang Zitong also felt that it wasn’t too appropriate, but she wasn’t willing to admit it either. Her knuckles cracked from how tightly she was clenching her fist. She retorted, “Even so, who would bother me based on what I wear normally? If they did, I’d teach them why roses are so red.”

“Heh.” Zu An sneered, then turned around to leave. He had to act with a low profile this time. If he had a pretty lady who was so good at drawing enmity, he'd probably be forced to give up on trying anything.

He had wanted to ask around about why she was here, but when he saw that she actually wanted to form a team with him, he immediately realized that she knew nothing about this place and that she was looking for a local guide. In that case, he naturally wouldn’t team up with her. They would only hold each other back.

Zhang Zitong was stunned. She had never expected him to refuse so directly! She immediately chased after him and asked, “Are you really not going to even consider it? My cultivation is really high, you know?!”

“In my opinion, it’s nothing special, probably not even enough to protect yourself. I have no intention of protecting you.”

“Hey, why can’t you just act like a normal person?”

...

However, in the end, the other person didn’t pay her any attention. He didn’t even turn around, and left as if he were trying to avoid a demonic pestilence.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?!” Zhang Zitong protested, but in the end, her pride didn’t allow her to chase after him. She could only stomp her feet in anger as she watched him leave, feeling a bit angry.

You have successfully trolled Zhang Zitong for +37 +37 +37...

Because of her beauty and her pretty legs, she had been treated really well even inside the Embroidered Envoy. When had she ever been overlooked like this?

Hm? Something’s not right. Sir Eleven seemed to have acted this way too.

Hmph, how can this guy compare to Sir Eleven?!

When she thought of that person, Zhang Zitong released a deep sigh. A disappointed and frustrated look appeared on her face.

...

After Zu An left, he went straight toward the splendid and dazzling buildings. When he saw them from a distance, he had thought that they were a building complex, but only now did he see that it was just a single building. It was extremely strange in design and a bit similar to the gymnasiums of his past world. He could hear some sounds coming from inside, so there actually seemed to be quite a few people there. However, the building seemed to have a formation set up around it that made the sounds unclear. He couldn't tell what was happening at all.

He suddenly stopped, because he noticed that there were some guards at the building entrance who were checking for a small metal token.

“Are those invitations?” Zu An muttered with a frown. He had entered this place by decoding the defensive formation, so of course he didn’t have any invitation. He looked all around him and saw that the building seemed to be completely sealed from the outside. It wasn’t too difficult for him to break through the formation, but it wasn’t too realistic for him to sneak inside under so many people's prying eyes.

“Don’t block the way!” someone called out, coming from behind and pushing him heavily to one side.

Zu An naturally could have dodged, but there were too many people watching and he was worried that they would find out his real cultivation. That was why he let himself be pushed. He pretended to turn around to take a look.

In front of him was an impatient-looking young master with a cold and gloomy expression. Next to him was a girl who was similar in age. Judging from their outfits, it seemed like they were clearly together. The girl did have a bit of looks, but her expression was too cold. She had clearly seen this kind of situation before. When they oung master saw Zu An move out of the way, he sneered in contempt as if looking down on him for not even having the bravery to fight back, and didn’t even feel like giving him another glance. He headed straight inside with his female companion.

“Big brother, do you think we’ll be able to pass the Holy Sect’s test this time?”

“Don’t worry, with your cousin here, we’ll definitely be able to pass. Also, we’ll definitely be able to become the personal disciples of some incredible figure.”

“Big brother, as your little sister, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to become as confident as you are. If we really succeed, the Wu clan and Zhu clan will definitely rise to a new level!”

...

Even though their voices were quiet, how could their conversation escape Zu An’s ears? He was surprised. So it turned out this building was used by the Devil Sect to accept new disciples! No wonder its vicinity was so strict. However, where was their general headquarters then?

The boy and girl arrived at the main entrance. They were quickly stopped by a guard who called out, “Show your token!”

The young lady quickly took out a token and gave it to him. After the guard examined it, he nodded and gestured for her to enter. Then, he looked at the young man and asked, “What about you?”

The young master was icily arrogant as he reached into his robes. Suddenly, his expression froze and he was no longer as calm as before. His other hand began to flip all around his body. historical

“Big brother, what’s wrong?” the young lady asked when she saw that.

“For some reason, I can’t seem to find my token,” the young man said, starting to get nervous. His previous confidence was nowhere to be seen.

“Could it be that you forgot to bring it?” the young lady asked urgently.

“There’s no way! I remember touching it not long ago!” the young man replied, starting to sweat. His family had used up all of their resources; if all of their preparations resulted in failure at this juncture, how was he going to face them once he returned?

“Don’t block the way!” an ice-cold voice called out behind him, and he was roughly pushed aside. His brows immediately shot up. When he turned around, he saw that it was actually that passer-by from earlier.

“If you don’t have a token, move aside and get lost. Don’t get in the way of others,” Zu An said as he handed the token in his hand to the guard. His words immediately received the sympathy of the others in line. They all began to curse and berate the young master.

“You...” The young master’s face swelled and became a bit purple in color. He was about to say something when his eyes landed on the token. He quickly said, “That token you’re using is mine!”

You have successfully trolled Wu Bi for +499 +499 +499...

Zu An smiled and replied, “Is it yours just because you say it is? Why don’t you call out to it and see if it responds?” Then, he walked straight in.

“You damn kid, stop right there!” Wu Bi exclaimed, feeling shocked and furious. He reflexively tried to grab the other person, but was stopped by the guard.

You have successfully trolled Wu Bi for +666 +666 +666...

“Those without tokens are not allowed to enter!”

Wu Bi was speechless.

...

Zu An naturally wouldn’t pay any more attention to someone like that. When he entered, he saw that the place was divided into many display counters, with each one seemingly belonging to a branch of the Devil Sect’s three schools and six paths. It seemed that each branch was carrying out their own separate recruiting of new disciples.

Zu An’s gaze shifted to the Heavenly Devil School’s display counter. That was the most lively area, because the ones who were in charge of the exams were all beautiful women, so they of course drew the most attention.

Zu An sighed in relief. They were still recruiting disciples as usual. It didn’t seem as if anything was wrong there.
