Chapter 365 The Fairy is Destined, But Her Eyes Were Misjudged
Only the two of them remained in the room.
The storage bag flew into Nangong Xue's palm. She examined it closely, and a surge of joy immediately welled up in her heart.
That's right, this is indeed Junior Sister Yu's storage bag, and the two precious Core Formation spiritual items are still perfectly intact inside.
Nangong Xue breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed her joy, and carefully put away the storage bag.
Then, her gaze fell on the ordinary girl opposite her, her eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
The mortal girl who delivered the storage bag was Chu Lengyu's second incarnation.
She deliberately refrained from cultivation and maintained her mortal form, but her temperament and demeanor made her appear anything but simple in front of Nangong Xue, as if she were hiding some secret.
"How did you obtain this storage bag?" Nangong Xue's voice was calm and cold, carrying an undeniable pressure.
This oppressive aura made Chu Lengyu feel a bit of pressure, but she still maintained her humble yet confident attitude and calmly dealt with it.
"Reporting to Senior, I discovered this item by chance on the beach. I know it belongs to your sect, so I brought it here in the hope of obtaining an opportunity to join the Hundred Swords Pavilion and learn immortal arts." Her eyes gleamed with longing.
Nangong Xue raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
She questioned, "How can you, a mere mortal, be so certain that this item belongs to my Hundred Swords Pavilion?"
Chu Lengyu smiled slightly, as if she had expected Nangong Xue to ask this question, and replied: "Although I am a mortal, I have heard about the affairs of immortals. The reputation of the Hundred Swords Pavilion is well-known, how could I not know it? As for the mark on this storage bag, I have seen similar ones in the market, so I can recognize it."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Xue remained silent for a while.
She could tell that what Chu Lengyu said was true, but her intuition told her that this girl was definitely not simple.
Her clear, watery eyes held a depth and composure that seemed out of place for a ten-year-old girl.
Nangong Xue pondered to herself. She rarely interacted with mortals, let alone children. Could a ten-year-old mortal girl be so mature and calm? She couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
After a moment, she decided to change the subject and continue probing: "You're so determined to join my Hundred Swords Pavilion?"
Chu Lengyu's eyes were firm as she said sincerely, "Since I was a child, I have longed for the immortal sect. I know this path is not easy, but I am willing to give everything for it, I only ask that you give me a chance."
Nangong Xue nodded; she could sense the sincerity and persistence in Chu Lengyu's words.
She walked up to Chu Lengyu and gently placed her hand on her forehead.
Chu Lengyu's body trembled slightly as she sensed Nangong Xue's spiritual energy invading her body, but she did not resist in the slightest.
Nangong Xue's spiritual power circulated within Chu Lengyu's body, carefully probing her innate qualities and aptitude.
After some investigation, she discovered that although Chu Lengyu's natural talent was not top-notch, it was still above average. Given time, he would definitely achieve something.
More importantly, she could sense that Chu Lengyu's mind was completely clear, which was truly rare.
“The Hundred Swords Pavilion opens its gates to accept disciples once every twenty years, and the next time it will accept disciples will be ten years from now. As for your aptitude, it has not yet reached the level that would make me make an exception.” Nangong Xue slowly withdrew her hand, deliberately showing a cold and distant expression on her face.
Chu Lengyu was immediately disappointed upon hearing this, but then she smiled playfully and said, "I beg you, fairy, to be lenient with us since we are destined to meet."
Her words were witty, and coupled with her youthful appearance of around ten years old, they didn't seem out of place at all.
"Fate?" Nangong Xue was amused by her words, but she still maintained her indifference and seriousness, and said coldly, "Very well, considering that you returned the storage bag, I will give you a chance. As for whether you can pass the test, that depends on your own fate."
Upon hearing this, Chu Lengyu was overjoyed and agreed without hesitation, saying, "I am willing to accept the test."
Nangong Xue nodded in satisfaction.
She decided to give Chu Lengyu a chance. If she could pass the test, she would not mind taking her as her disciple, or at least making her an outer disciple of the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
“Very good.” After saying that, Nangong Xue turned and walked towards the door of the private room. “Come with me.”
Manager Hu sat in the luxurious and elegant inner hall of Jubaoge, holding a delicate jade cup in his hand, savoring the rising aroma of the tea.
In his eyes, mortals were nothing more than weeds, and their lives and deaths were insignificant.
Therefore, he was certain that Nangong Xue would eliminate the mortal girl after interrogating her.
What he was truly curious about was the secret hidden in that storage bag.
However, Nangong Xue is not only a highly skilled Golden Core cultivator, but also possesses remarkable talent, making her a strong candidate for the next generation of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Hundred Swords Pavilion.
Faced with such a person with extraordinary potential, Manager Hu naturally dared not harbor any covetous thoughts, but instead went to great lengths to curry favor with him.
Jubao Pavilion was only recently established here and cannot be compared with the well-established Baijian Pavilion. Even though the latter is only a second-rate sect, its founder was a formidable figure. Who knows what trump cards he left behind for the sect?
The maid carefully refilled his teacup, softly echoing, "The steward is truly wise and capable."
Upon hearing this, Manager Hu's lips curled into a smug smile, quite pleased with his own judgment.
However, just as he was feeling smug, the door of the Accord was opened and footsteps were heard, interrupting his thoughts.
He looked up and saw Nangong Xue slowly walking out of the private room, and behind her was the mortal girl he thought had long since died.
Chu Lengyu was completely unharmed, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
Not only that, Nangong Xue also released a spirit boat, seemingly intending to take her away with her.
This scene left Manager Hu completely astonished.
This mortal not only didn't die, but was also taken back to the Hundred Swords Pavilion by Nangong Xue, which was completely beyond his expectations.
His arrogant attitude vanished instantly, replaced by shock and bewilderment.
Seeing this, the maid thought to herself, "I've long heard that Fairy Nangong is beautiful and kind-hearted. Seeing her today, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved."
Manager Hu's face turned extremely ugly. He coughed, trying to cover up his embarrassment.
He didn't expect that Nangong Xue would not only not suspect Chu Lengyu, but would also accept her.
Nangong Xue didn't notice Manager Hu's embarrassment and said, "Manager Hu, thank you for this. If there are any similar situations in the future, please let me know as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Manager Hu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Fairy Nangong, rest assured, Jubao Pavilion will do its best to cooperate."
Nangong Xue didn't say anything more and left Jubaoge with Chu Lengyu.
Manager Hu watched their retreating figures, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He knew he had misjudged the situation this time.
