Chapter 204: Receptionist
Walking down the mountain took Chen Tian and Su Bingxin two hours. If there weren't cultivators, it would have been impossible to descend the mountain without stopping to take breaks; there was no way a mortal would be able to do it.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin didn't mind too much since the sceneries were breathtaking and worth the effort.
As they descended, the air grew cooler, and the sound of rushing water from a nearby waterfall became increasingly clear.
They arrived at a clearing at the base of the mountain, where a sign said Outer Part was written on it.
Moreover, they started seeing other Immortal Sword Sect disciplines making their way up the mountain or down.
Maybe because they were new faces, some disciplines looked at them, but it was just a normal look as they continued on their way.
Maybe because they were new faces that caught their attention.
It was evident that the Outer Part of the mountain was a bustling place, filled with activity and dedicated practitioners.
Most of the gazes were from males who couldn't help but look at Su Bingxin.
Su Bingxin could also feel those gazes lingering on her, as if they were trying to dissect her with their eyes.
It made her uncomfortable.
On the Tevat continent, she never got these kinds of stares from anyone.
She was seen as an outcast there because she couldn't summon her dao companion.
"W-Why are they looking at me?" Su Bingxin whispered to Chen Tian, who just smiled and muttered in a low voice that only she could hear.
"My wife is so beautiful that everyone can't help but admire her."
Maybe on the Tevat Continent, because everyone can have one companion, and maybe because the men there are gay, she didn't experience such intense gazes.
But Su Bingxin herself was a top beauty that could captivate anyone's attention. Her delicate features, porcelain skin, and flowing white hair made her the epitome of elegance.
Not to mention her amazing figure that seemed to defy gravity, with curves in all the right places.
Chen Tian could speak all day about Su Bingxin's beauty and never tire of it.
He didn't mind the stares; as they say, a man has the right to appreciate beauty in all its forms.
But only gazing if someone dared to think bad thoughts about any of his women. Chen Tian didn't mind raining hell on that person.
Following the map, they arrived at the Sect Pavilion.
It was a big and grand structure, with intricate carvings adorning its walls and a majestic entrance that beckoned visitors inside.
The building was indeed impressive.
Chen Tian and Su Bingxin walked up and entered the building.
Inside were many disciplines. Chen Tian couldn't help but notice that some of the disciplines had the same Green jade identity token, like the one they had, but some had two swords or even three swords on the identity token.
It puzzled Chen Tian. 'Maybe it's rank-based,' he thought to himself.
Some disciplines were looking at a board and were picking up the papers on the board; it looked like they were picking up missions from the board.
Something that Chen Tian would definitely visit in the future.
'Xu Zhiyuan told us to head here and ask for more information,' Chen Tian thought.
There were ten receptionists sitting behind a desk.
Chen Tian raised his eyebrow as he looked at a peculiar receptionist who, unlike the others, nobody approaching her.
She seemed to be engrossed in a book, oblivious to the bustling activity around her.
Intrigued, Chen Tian decided to approach her and ask for more information.
"H-Hey, that guy, is he an idiot?!"
"He definitely has a death wish!"
The discipline in the room exchanged whispers and shocked glances as Chen Tian made his way towards the receptionist.
They looked at Chen Tian as if he was a crazy person, daring to disturb that woman.
"Hey guys, I think his a new discipline," one of them said to the others.
"Oh! You're right!"
"Tskk, what bad luck just when he was accepted into the sect..."
"Should we at least save the woman behind him? It would be a pity if she pisses off that woman!"
They looked at the token hanging from Chen Tian's and Su Bingxin's waists.
After seeing the green one-sword token, they instantly knew that Chen Tian and Su Bingxin must be new because no discipline wanted to interact with that woman.
"Excuse me," Chen Tian politely asked.
"We're new here, and we're looking for more information."
"Hm?" The woman raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting from the book in her hand to Chen Tian.
"What do you want?" she asked arrogantly, clearly annoyed by his presence.
Surprised by the woman's arrogant response, Chen Tian raised an eyebrow and took a step back.
He hadn't expected such hostility from someone he had just met.
However, he remained composed and replied, "We were hoping to find out more about the different disciplines and training opportunities available in this place."
Despite the woman's initial dismissive attitude, Chen Tian hoped that she might eventually warm up and provide the information they needed.
'New discipline?' The woman thought for a moment, her expression softening slightly.
'He probably doesn't know who I am, which is why both of these two dared to approach me. Well, it wouldn't hurt to give them some information,' she thought to herself.
"Well, I suppose I can give you a brief overview," she said reluctantly.
Chen Tian's optimism grew as he listened attentively to her explanation.
As for the other disciplines who were close to hearing, the woman wanted to explain without doing anything to these two disciplines, which made them cry out loud in their minds.
They couldn't believe that the new discipline managed to break through the woman's arrogant facade and actually get her to cooperate.
Are they dreaming?
This woman had a terrifying reputation in this sect and was known for her arrogance and how she beat whoever dared to question her authority. It was unheard of for anyone to challenge her, let alone talk to her.
