The Carnation Goddess

Chapter 127 Balloting the Group Number (2)



Chapter 127 Balloting the Group Number (2)

One by one, the protégés had queued in one line to pick the ballot ball from a big box that was with Elder Hua Zixia and the other elders.

Many of the protégés that were drawing the ballot number of their group were nervous as they were all hoping that they would be grouped into a powerful group or a group with many beauties.

Naturally, many of the protégés had also another wish and that was not to be grouped with Shen Lie, who was the weakest cultivator in their cohort and he had a messy spirit root in his cultivation core.

With a messy spirit root, he was destined never to become a 4th realm cultivator. Even for the 3rd realm cultivation, it would take him forever and that was why many of the protégés had thought that he would fail to become an official protégé in the first place.

Also, Shen Lie did not have any powerful cultivation sect as his background and he was merely a commoner.

This caused many of the young masters of the cultivation sects that had come to this holy land for their cultivation training to despise Shen Lie in their hearts.

Some had even thought that Shen Lie had purposely damaged the property of the Holy Carnation Sanctuary in order to stay in the place.

There was even one protégé in Shen Lie's cohort that tried to do the same as Shen Lie but he was given the death sentence by the Holy Saintess Sheng Feiyan for breaking the divine rule of her Holy Carnation Sanctuary.

After that, no one had dared to try anymore because the Holy Saintess Sheng Feiyan was renowned for melting her punishments on a whim; no one knows if the punishment would be light or heavy.

They concluded that Shen Lie was given a light punishment instead because the mood of the Holy Saintess Sheng Feiyan was good that day.

Eventually everyone had drawn their group number and many were looking at the number that Shen Lie had drawn.

Shen Lie flashed the ballot ball that he had drawn and a number 13 could be seen if one would to use their divine sense to read his ballot ball.

Many of the protégés were relieved that they were not in the same group as Shen Lie.

However, for Jie Ying and Yu Lingyue, they were quite delighted that they were in the same group as Shen Lie.

Yu Lingyue smiled coyly to herself as she thought that it was 'fate' that brought Shen Lie and her much closely together.

Mei Xuan was also looking quite delighted that she had also picked group 13.

Wang Xiao who had drawn number 7 was furious that Yu Lingyue was in the same group as Shen Lie and he was even fearful that Shen Lie may be able to pass his experiential training due to the higher cultivation realm of Yu Lingyue.

Many of the protégés that had drawn number 13 were now cursing loudly that they were part of the 20 that were in Shen Lie's group.

"This is impossible…"

"I've such a bad luck to be in the worse cultivator's group…"

"I don't believe it…"

"This is some shitty luck…"

Di Shitian and Lie Dun had drawn Number 7 as well and they were greatly delighted with this outcome as Wang Xiao was their new brother.

Shortie Lai had also drawn Number 7 and he was delighted too as Di Shitian and Lie Dun were his brothers.

Naturally they were being grouped together by Shen Lie and that was not by any luck.

Shen Lie also grouped them together with those that cursed him the loudest.

As there were many protégés that were presented in the great hall, they had failed to notice that their Number 7 group had only the male protégés and there were no female protégés.

Naturally, Shen Lie had arranged for that.

He did all that while pretending to look as innocent as possible.

Shen Lie had also picked all the prettiest maidens to be in group 13 as well.

This was a ballot and due to pure luck so no one would dare to voice any complaint once they had realized that Shen Lie had all the luck.

Elder Hua Zixia now said to all the protégés that were in the hall, "The minute that you have picked the ballot ball from the box, your profound signature is already registered with us. So you can't switch your ballot groups or cheat by switching your ballot box."

Then she added, "Alright now. Before we go to the teleporting array in the Teleporting Hall, I want to let you all know that we are going to the demonic cultivation lands that are 30 000 miles away…"

When she had said that, many of the cultivators were in great shock; it was because it was really expensive to use the teleporting array. Every mile teleported cost a bomb in spirit stones. Moreover, this was 30 000 miles away. Saintess Sheng Feiyan was indeed generous this time round.

Elder Hua Zixia continued, "You must be wondering if we got a teleporting array in the demonic cultivation lands in order to use the teleporting array. We have already setup a temporary teleport array deep in the mountains of the demonic cultivation land. So far, it seems to be quite safe…."

"All of you should be grateful in your hearts to our two Holy Saintess Sheng Feiyan and Qian Yufeng that give you this opportunity to obtain your lucky occurrences in the demonic cultivation lands. There are no more generous holy saintesses than our two holy saintesses…"

Many of the protégés were secretly cursing the two holy saintesses in their hearts instead. In fact, there were few cultivators that were grateful to them.

Shen Lie was also not grateful for this opportunity to find his lucky occurrences.

However, there were still some hardworking and honest cultivators that were grateful to the two holy saintesses for giving them an opportunity to improve their cultivation practice and to hone their profound arts in the hostile demonic cultivation lands.

There were also many maidens among the cohort that were chaste maidens the night before but they had decided to give up their chastity as the demonic cultivators won't be kind to them if they were captured by them.

This was a most dangerous undertaking for all the protégés in this cohort.

Elder Hua Zixia continued to say to them, "I will brief you again on your mission objectives once we are in the demonic cultivation lands and in your proper groups. Now, follow me to the Teleporting Hall."'

And with that, everyone began to follow Elder Hua Zixia and the other elders to the Teleporting Hall.

In the Teleporting Hall, there was another elder that was in charge of the Teleporting Hall with her protégés.

Elder Zixia nodded at this elder before she turned to say to all her protégés, "The teleporting array has now been activated. You may all go inside now."

And with that, the protégés began to walk into the teleporting array that were shimmering a blue light.

As they walked in, they began to vanish from view.

Shen Lie also walked into the shimmering portal with Jie Ying, along with several protégés as well. They all entered and vanished from view as they were sent 30 000 miles away.

Finally when all the protégés had entered the teleporting array, Elder Hua Zixia and her elders also began to walk inside the teleporting array.

Only Nangong Shu and Fairy Yue Shuwen did not enter into the teleporting array.

Nangong Shu muttered softly, "Good luck…"

Even Fairy Yue Shuwen was quite worried for Shen Lie and she was still thinking why the two holy saintesses would want to send Shen Lie or their precious protégés for such a dangerous undertaking.

The minds of the two holy saintesses were extremely difficult for them to read.
