Chapter 52: 52.Broken Crystal? A malfunction?! Or Not?

Taking it he asked Fu Yao Yao to extend out her hand.

Fu Yao yao averted her gaze from the blockheaded guy and bowed down as she took the tag.

"Congratulations you have passed the test." Elder Shen kept the tag on her hand.

"With this tag, you have officially become the disciple of the Eternal Blossom Sect of Vermillion Bird Peak."

"Thank you elder Shen." She held the bamboo name tag and walked down the platform.

The whole audience cheered up and clapped for the beautiful junior disciple that passed the test and without doubt the one who were clapping the loudest were the male disciples.

She passed right by Le Fangling who too was kind of impressed by what Fu yao yao just did. It was indeed pretty to look at and she was not going to deny it.

"Good job." Le Fangling sincerely gave her congratulations on passing the assessment test.

"Humph, don't think you are so much like me and in my level just because you are the daughter of lord from the southern province." Fu yao yao gave a slight snort before she headed back of the line to wait for the remaining students.

"….."

"Oh well, and there goes the miss snorky pants, snorking." Le fang ling let out a sigh as she looked at the back of Fu yao yao.

.

"We will continue with the remaining test." Elder Shen announced.

Soon the assessment test of the students took place one by one.

"Strength 210"

"Strength 120"

"Strength 193"

"Spiritual roots: Earth realm Wind"

"Spiritual roots: Heaven Realm Water"

"Spiritual roots: Erath realm Earth"

Almost all the disciples passed the first phase of test despite having even lower cultivation and strength since it was just initial assessment. They were given one more chance for another assessment test to prove their worth.

.

Le Fangling waited for his turn but it seemed like an eternity before his turn came. Since he was the last one to arrive it was only natural for his name to be called at last.

Finally the wait was over.

"Le Fangling!!"

The Elder called out the name that Elder Lin had been eagerly waiting for although it did not show in her face.

With a big smile Le Fangling walked towards the central platform, her heart thumping in nervousness and anxiety but excitement mixed in it.

The air in the playground got stagnant as silence enveloped the entire area. Everyone looked with complex gaze at the beautiful girl walking with a straight and proud back towards the assessment area.

'Isn't that the Le family girl?'

'I thought she was going to return back..'

'I heard she made a scene and even senior Zhang Wei was made to go to seclusion..' One of the old outer-sect disciples whispered.

'Beautiful as the moon but her reputation sucks..' One of the disciple shook his heads thinking it was such a loss.

Soon every people started to whisper lowly among themselves.

Ming Jiu stole a peek at An Lin who was staring at her, his eyes' following each of her step.

If not all, Ming Jiu An Lin held some kind of hatred towards the Le Family. Since Ming Jiu was from the Northern region, he had only heard of notorious acts of Le Family which were quickly suppressed by who knows whom.

But An Lin and his twin sister An Cheng were from Southern region. The fact that there was enmity and hatred could only mean one thing!

Le Family did something unforgivable to them but what??

"Man, you okay?" Ming Jiu patted his shoulder as he swallowed his curiosity that was stuck on his throat.

"Its fine.." An Lin answered absent mindedly. He was only focused on one thing at the moment.

'Le Fangling!'

An Cheng who had taken the seat of chief disciple after the short orientation also had her attention and focus engaged at one point..a person to be precise.

Grandmaster Lan was doing a favor for the Old family head of Le Family and his duty was done when he had dropped her to the sect leaving whatever happened next to her own fate but..

He too felt a little restless looking at her each step his fingers tapping on the side of the chair he sat on unconsciously.

"Destiny..Grandmaster Lan…" The Sect Leader noticed his restlessness and spoke silently. He too was looking forward to see the child that Grandmaster La brought himself with some expectation in his heart.

"Leave everything on its hand.. All we can do is wait and see."

"Yes, Sect leader." Grandmaster Lan nodded his head in agreement.

Unaware of all these nervous and restless gazes of people she had known for just a day, Le Fangling climbed on the stage.

Grandmaster Lan, Elder Lin, An Lin, An Cheng and all the other student held their breathe as Le Fangling brought out her palm and placed them in the crystal.

A second passed.

Thirty seconds passed.

A minute passed....

*Nothing happened.*

.

The Elder Shen who had been holding the scroll had a complicated time looking at the crystal which showed no any sign of anything.

"What's happening?" Everyone started to murmur and grumble looking at the motionless disciple who had her hand stuck to the crystal and the unchanging crystal Lacrima.

It was indeed weird for such a high sensitive crystal to not sense and show anything.

An Cheng who had been holding in her anxiousness about this test looked at Le Fang Ling with a concerned expression. She did not really care about the girl but she felt bad seeing her standing like that alone on the stage with eyes all around her,

"It's fine. You don't have to worry about it." Elder Lin sensed her anxiety and gave a soft sigh.

"I am not..I-I am not wo-worried or anything.." An Cheng answered as she was caught off guard of Elder Lin.

"I have got this." Elder Lin knew what was happening and so she stood up and started walking towards the central stage.

"Junior! What's the meaning of this?" Elder Shen gave a glance full of doubts and suspicions to Le Fangling who just stood silent with her hand pasted to the crystal orb.
