Yin Xiu giggled.

"Fine. If you don't want to tell then don't. It's not my problem."

Yin Xiu was not even listening to Su Hui and was looking at the dresses in the shop. She found all of them very colorful.

"How about this? This is nice too. Try it now."

Yin Xiu came out of the shop 2 hours later.

She captured the attention of all the disciples in the mountain. She was adorned with a simple necklace and a pair of earrings. All the disciples agreed that Yin Xiu would be ranked in the Top Beauties of the Guang Province once she became 16 years old.

Yin Xiu wasn't aware of this. She was happily strolling back to the 36th mountain. She wanted to show her master her new look.

She reached the mountain and looked back. She suddenly saw a the people who were following her.

"Do you need something from master? I will go now and call him out. Please wait here."

Yin Xiu ran up to the mountain and went inside the small house at the top. She crossed it and went to the courtyard where she found her master.

"Master! There are a lot of fellow disciples outside that are here for you."

Chen Jiang smiled.

"You don't worry about that. They already left. How was your day?"

"Oh. My day? It went spectacular. Did you notice anything different now?"

Chen Jiang looked closely at Yin Xiu.

"No. Nothing that I can see. Why? Did something happen?"

Yin Xiu pouted. Chen Jiang laughed at this.

"It's alright. I saw that you have changed your outfit. You are looking very cute today. I don't abhor it. It is all right for a girl to feel pretty. But do not obsess over it. It will not do you any good. Always be simple."

Yin Xiu nodded lightly.

"Thank you master!"

She ran away. Chen Jiang sat down, thinking about what he was supposed to do.

He had made a huge mistake by simply accepting Yin Xiu. Now she had no company and was alone in the entire 36th mountain. Moreover, he had no one to teach the actual 36th Mountain sword style. He had truly failed as an Elder.

Chen Jiang rolled his wheel chair slowly down the mountain to the 2nd Mountain.

When Chen Jiang was going up the 2nd Mountain, everyone was looking at him. All the younger disciples were looking at him with curiosity, but the older deacons were looking at him with an expression filled with regret, like they lost something precious.

Chen Jiang finally reached the top of the mountain. He stood in front of the huge building that was in front of him. He waited for somthing.

"Enter."

Chen Jiang went into the building. He saw the Grand Elder sitting down on the floor drinking tea. Chen Jiang rolled his wheel chair to him.

"Grand Elder."

"Chen Jiang. I am very surprised to see you here. I am happy that you are changing."

"I would like to propose an emergency recruitment for my Mountain."

"I have some news from you grandfather. Would you like to here that first?"

Chen Jiang looked at Grand Elder Lu without any change in expression.

"Tell him that I will personally talk to him myself when I come to the main continent in 3 years. I am sure both of us can wait that long."

"You are planning to attend the 10 years meet?"

"My disciple will be attending. I will accompany her. And if this emergency recruitment goes well, I will be taking 2 disciples there."

Grand Elder Lu looked at Chen Jiang and sighed.

"You are so confident that your disciples will be similar to you. If they are half of what you once were, they will be able to attend, but are they. Look at what happened to you."

Chen Jiang smiled lightly.

"Talent is a boon. By cultivating, we are going against the heavens. We are trying to determine our fate by ourselves. I was expecting something more than just a pair of crippled legs. I should go back now. I hope you will arrange everything. I am looking for disciples below 14 who are not bulky. I will let you judge based on that. I do not care about cultivation level. I will take only 1 or maybe 2 disciples. If there are any good talents within this crowd, I will send them to you. Do what you deem fit."

Chen Jiang left as slowly as he came. It took him 3 hours to go back and yet he patiently went in a steady speed without any sense of impatience or irritancy. If someone noticed closely, they would say that they speed he went in was the exact same for the entire time.
