Chapter 14: New Members
They followed her into the second to top floor and sat down around a small table.
"What are your names?"
"Mu Qing, this is my sister Xue Ying" Mu Qing pointed at the girl next to him.
"Last name?"
"Lady Hua, we are orphans, we don't have last names"
"Sorry" Zi Hua apologized.
"It's fine" Mu Qing, brushed it off, used to it already.
"Xue Ying, Mu Qing I am extending out a formal invitation as the Sect leader of Light Phantom Sect to ask if you are willing to join" After saying that Zi Hua undid her disguise.
Frozen in shock the two didn't know how to respond, not because of her beauty after all from their time on the streets, they had met a fair amount of pretty young masters and misses but they were all really mean making them numb to appearances, but because of the lady's identity.
"Really?" Mu Qing asked, this was like a dream come true for him. Just previously he was lamenting on the fact that he couldn't take the test for recruitment but now he was being invited and even got to meet the mysterious Sect leader.
"Do I look like I'm lying?" Lifting up an eye brow in query.
"WE'D LOVE TO JOIN!" The two answered without hesitation, this was an once in a lifetime opportunity.
"Good, but remember our sect doesn't accept slackers"
"Understood"
"Anne, Nia they're our new members, give them a preaching- ahem I mean a briefing of our rules and principles"
"Yes master" The two aspiring cultivators were puzzled by the looks of sympathy and pity coming their way.
'So pitiful, although master is the best master in the entire world but...' Thought Anemone.
'...the training, although effective, is so hellish' Gardenia continued.
The two of them looked in each other's eyes and could tell what the other one was thinking and sighed helplessly.
"Follow us" Xue Ying and Mu Qing followed the two of them obediently and was warmly welcomed by the Sect members.
When they left, Xiao Hong, Xiao Bai and Xiao Zi came out.
"Master is this okay?"
"Why not, Xiao Bai?" Zi Hua raised an eyebrow is inquiry.
"They're only 10 and 11, won't they become a burden?"
"With their talent they should be fine, plus if I left them do you think after suffering such humiliation Xia Hen Chun wouldn't vent her anger on them?" To be honest, no matter how talented a person is, Zi Hua usually wouldn't rope them in but if she didn't they would have been be killed and it would be partially her fault plus there was something peculiar about them.
After contemplating and considering their talent, she decided to take them in.
After hearing her words the three spirit beasts understood, although their master was far from a saint she wasn't heartless especially when things were related to her.
"Not to mention, they're good hearted" When she saw the little girl it reminded her of her child self and the boy reminded Zi Hua of her elder brother...
.....
After the 'short briefing' (5 hours, so short...) Xue Ying and Mu Qing were led into the staff room and met with some members.
"Aww, so cute" Someone went and pinched Xue Ying on the cheek.
"Call me big sis okay?"
"If any bullies you I'll give them a good thrashing"
They were immediately surrounded.

Meanwhile, Xia Hen Chun paid a visit to her sister, the Crown Prince consort.
"Sister you must seek justice for me" Xia Hen Chun started acting pitiful.
"Today someone humiliated me and our General's Manor outside Light Phantom Hall" Although Xia Hen Chun was stupid she was after all a aristocrat lady and knew how to talk sh*t about others and shift blame.
"Who dares!" Xia Hen Chun proceeded to explain the scenes that day.
"I'll deal with it, you go back to the manor first"
Xia Wen Ya was smarter than her sister and had some suspicions, from what Xia Hen Chun said the girl had come out from Light Phantom Hall and seemed to have quite a powerful background to dare to say those words publicly, but since she dared to shame General's Manor she will have to pay for it.
The only problem was that after mobilizing people to find the girl, they couldn't find a single clue, even the two kids that Xia Hen Chun was arguing with seemed to have disappeared.
Xia Hen Chun had pinned the blame all on the siblings and the mystery girl, never even taking into consideration that all of that wouldn't have happened if she hadn't bullied the little girl.
