Qiao Zhongbang went up and reported his name before saying, “These people behind me are my family.”
The scholar nodded and glanced at him. “Go over there and be tested.”
Qiao Zhongbang looked at the direction that the scholar pointed to. There was a transparent crystal ball silently laying on a long table.
He wryly smiled. “Sir, we don’t need to waste our time testing. I’m merely a normal person.”
The soldier on the side impatiently said, “If we have you test, then test. Why are you so wordy?”
“Why didn’t the husband and wife in front of us have to test?” Qiao Mu’s soft childish tone contained a trace of coldness.
The soldier shot her a glare, scaring Wei Ziqin into subconsciously reaching out and pulling Qiao Mu into her arms to protect her.
The scholar lifted his hand to stop the soldier and did not get angry. He gently looked at Qiao Mu as he explained, “Little one, you can tell that married couple are normal people with a single look. There wasn’t any mystic energy on them.”
Then, his voice paused, and he suddenly looked intently at Qiao Mu. “Little one, come and test.”
Qiao Mu expressionlessly shook her head. “I’m merely a normal child.”
“Hey, girl, do you not understand Sir Zhang’s words?” the soldier shouted, ill-tempered.
“Hm? What happened?” A cyan figure walked over followed by several men in white robes.
The scholar immediately stood up and properly saluted. “Greetings, City Lord, young masters from Daybreak Sect.”
The city lord, Gu Qingfeng, nodded minutely. “Testing?”
His gaze swept over Qiao Zhongbang and his group.
“Hey, look! Look quickly! Who am I seeing? Isn’t this our fifth junior brother?” a man in white robes suddenly exclaimed with a bright laugh.
This person was of a similar age to Qiao Zhongbang, about 30 years old, but he looked younger than Qiao Zhongbang. He had a very normal face, and his mouth contained a dash of derision, giving him an acerbic look.
“How come I have never heard of some Fifth Junior Brother? Eldest Senior Brother, did you recognize wrong?”
“Third Senior Brother, your memory is awful! This Fifth Senior Brother is the person who Master once complimented as being more astute than Eldest Senior Brother. How unfortunate! Less than two years later, Fifth Senior Brother’s cultivation was crippled and his meridians were damaged completely, so he was subsequently expelled down the mountain by Master! Tut, I really didn’t expect to meet him here! How coincidental!”
“Hey, why did our once high-spirited Fifth Junior Brother age so prematurely? Hasn’t it only been 10 or so years? You look so old that I nearly didn’t recognize you.”
There were three youths in their 20s who wore the same style of white robes with the same circular emblem embroidered on their cuffs and chest.
They circled around their eldest senior brother and were praising Eldest Senior Brother enthusiastically while disparaging Qiao Zhongbang unrestrainedly at the same time.
Qiao Zhongbang had become utterly frozen the moment that Eldest Senior Brother spoke.
After those people finished mocking in a fluster, Qiao Zhongbang returned to his family’s side without a word.
“Hahaha,” the people from Daybreak Sect chortled, unbridled.
They were unexpectedly interrupted by a soft childish voice, “So noisy like a group of ducks. Are we done registering? We have to leave if we’re done.”
The laughter of the Daybreak Sect’s disciples abruptly halted.
They looked at Qiao Mu in disbelief, as though they did not comprehend where the child got the nerve to speak to them like this.
The scholar hastily took a bamboo tablet and wanted to hand it to Qiao Mu. “Go on then.”
Qiao Mu glanced at him and was about to reach out.
To their surprise, a burst of mystic energy suddenly shot out from the side and sent the bamboo tablet clattering to the ground.
One of the youths in white robes sardonically looked at Qiao Mu and her family, lifted his robes up, and pulled into a martial-arts squat. “Fifth Senior Brother, you can pass if you want, but you have to go through here!”
“Hahahahaha,” the other people from Daybreak Sect all let out malicious laughter.
