Chapter 747: Of course, I'll take something so beautiful
Tang Rao looked at Qin Nuahuai and couldn't help but wonder: he was certain he hadn't met this woman before, and as to whether she was a new guise of that woman by Lu Tianhao's side, he was also in the dark.
Everything this woman displayed seemed very natural, as if it wasn't an act.
"Do you know me?" asked Tang Rao, since Qin Nuahuai had called out his name.
This place wasn't the Nine Realms' Seventy-two Domains; he didn't have what you'd call a reputation here. Those who knew him could be counted on one hand.
"Yes, but I only know Mr. Tang's name. Nuahuai came from Dark Moon City, I heard about Mr. Tang through Mr. Shi Pang," Qin Nuahuai said.
From that fatso? Tang Rao slightly frowned, that fatso better not have been spouting nonsense.
"I see, so what is it that you want from me?" Tang Rao continued to inquire.
"Nuahuai knows of the bet between Mr. Tang and the Dark Moon Association and greatly admires Mr. Tang, thus, I wish to join Mr. Tang and enter Kao Shan Sect," Qin Nuahuai said, bowing.
Tang Rao: "..."
That fatso actually blabbed about the bet.
While this might somewhat enhance the Kao Shan Sect's reputation, it could also invite troubles for the sect.
Kao Shan Sect was still in its developmental stage. He had not yet recruited the ten Luo Xian experts, so, being targeted at this time would probably bring some difficulty.
But then again, it wasn't entirely that fatso's fault since he himself hadn't specified to keep the bet a secret.
"Mr. Tang can rest assured, Nuahuai has not spread the news," said Qin Nuahuai.
Tang Rao nodded and then shook his head.
You might not have said anything, but can you guarantee other people won't? Shi Pang, this silly bird, if he could tell you, he could tell others too.
The bet between Kao Shan Sect and the Dark Moon Association, it won't be long before it causes a stir.
"Come inside first," Tang Rao certainly wouldn't turn Qin Nuahuai away. Whether she was the true Qin Nuahuai or a new persona created by the woman next to Lu Tianhao, he intended to keep her around.
Qin Nuahuai nodded and followed Tang Rao into the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Xiao Yun was sitting on a stone bench, sucking on a lollipop.
"Tang Rao, so it's this woman who came looking for you?" Seeing Tang Rao bring Qin Nuahuai inside, Xiao Yun couldn't help but ask.
"What 'this woman', young children should know manners. This is Qin Nuahuai, show some discipline. Also, have you read today's book yet? You're always snacking, have you got no ambition?" Tang Rao glanced at Xiao Yun disapprovingly.
Xiao Yun: "..."
Tang Rao, this trash, other than threatening me with reading, what else can you do?
Of course, the matter of reading was still quite intimidating to Xiao Yun, as it was a request from Liu Mingyue, and Xiao Yun was always attentive to Liu Mingyue's requests.
"I'll manage, I'll read tonight," Xiao Yun snorted and then ignored Tang Rao and Qin Nuahuai, running off.
"Uh, Miss Qin, please have a seat," Tang Rao chuckled and said, "Don't mind her, Xiao Yun has just grown a bit wild, doesn't know the rules."
"Alright, Mr. Tang," Qin Nuahuai nodded with a smile on her face, seated herself gracefully, every movement fluid like water, each a sight to behold, hitting just the right note.
After Qin Nuahuai sat down, Tang Rao also pulled up a stool and sat down, then took out some food and drink from his Space Ring.
"Um, I'm a rather casual person, so from now on, I'll just call you Nuahuai," Tang Rao took the initiative to say with a smile on his face.
"Of course, Mr. Tang, it's an honor for Nuahuai." Qin Nuahuai picked up the wine jug and poured two cups of wine, "Mr. Tang, Nuahuai toasts to you."
Tang Rao naturally did not refuse, and lifted his cup to drink.
"By the way, Nuahuai, how did you find out I was here?" After a few drinks, Tang Rao asked inconspicuously.
"I first went to the Kao Shan Sect and learned that they are not accepting new people for the time being, so I asked around for Mr. Tang's whereabouts, intending to come and join directly," said Qin Nuahuai.
"Is that so? Since you've already been to the Kao Shan Sect, do you know about the restrictions Kao Shan Sect has for accepting disciples?" Tang Rao asked.
Qin Nuahuai was taken aback, then shook her head.
"For those who wish to join the Kao Shan Sect, my requirement is that they be under thirty years of age, with strength reaching the Luo Xian Realm or higher. You should still be in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, right?" Tang Rao said.
Qin Nuahuai clearly did not expect the Kao Shan Sect's requirements to be so high.
Accepting followers who are under thirty and above the Luo Xian Realm, you should know, even for the major forces, these requirements are already quite demanding.
But what level is the Kao Shan Sect? It's one of the lesser small forces that's always at the bottom.
Such a requirement is simply too unrealistic... How could there be geniuses of such caliber willing to join the Kao Shan Sect... They would choose those more powerful sects instead.
"Then...is there any other way to join the sect?" asked Qin Nuahuai.
"There's also participating in the sect's selection. Nuahuai, you should be able to pass it. The sect's selection isn't hard," Tang Rao said.
"The time for the sect's selection has already passed, Mr. Tang. Is there another way to join? I really admire you and want to join the Kao Shan Sect," Qin Nuahuai stood up and bowed to Tang Rao.
"Well... there still is a way," nodded Tang Rao, "Actually, I can have a special induction. Someone as pretty as you can be the image ambassador for our Kao Shan Sect. If you're willing, then you are a Kao Shan Sect member from this moment. However, you'll have to put in more effort when the Kao Shan Sect is recruiting in the future, as you know, a beautiful woman can always attract a lot of men."
"Really, Mr. Tang? Thank you so much!" Qin Nuahuai looked very excited, grabbing Tang Rao's arm in one go.
Perhaps realizing her own impropriety, Qin Nuahuai quickly let go.
"I apologize, Mr. Tang, I'm just... very happy," Qin Nuahuai said quietly, standing to the side.
The corners of Tang Rao's mouth lifted inexplicably, "No problem, it's my pleasure to shake hands with such a beautiful girl as Nuahuai."
Hearing Tang Rao's words, Qin Nuahuai's face turned slightly red.
"This is the Kao Shan Sect's sect badge. Take it for now; within it contains the Kao Shan Heart Method, which you can comprehend on your own. Oh yes, there are three sect rules in total for the Kao Shan Sect, all are written within the sect badge," Tang Rao said.
"I understand, Mr. Tang."
"It's 'Sect Master' now," Tang Rao said.
"Yes, Sect Master, Nuahuai has remembered it all," Qin Nuahuai nodded, her eyes brimming with a flicker of excitement.
"Good, then stay here for the next two days. When I return to the Kao Shan Sect, I will take you back with me, and then we can just register you in," said Tang Rao.
"Thank you, Sect Master."
"No need to be so formal; now that you're a part of the Kao Shan Sect, you are one of us. I'll introduce you to a few fellow sect members—Lu Jun, Xiao Hua, the Fool, come on out!" Tang Rao shouted loudly.
