Han Qingyu felt an overwhelming oppression as she lowered her head instinctively. Not daring to meet the gaze of a peak expert.
Meanwhile, when Shen Yuan felt the overwhelming oppression, his bloodline reacted instantly, releasing a soft energy throughout his body that dispelled any sense of oppression.
Shen Yuan didn't mind this as he could tell that she was not doing this purposely, but instead, it was an instinctive reaction from their bodies when meeting someone at a much higher cultivation base than theirs.
After standing there for a while, the sect leader finally finished her song as she opened her eyes to look at Shen Yuan and the others, her eyes sparkled with divine light as if containing the myriad world. It felt like no secret could be veiled in front of those divine eyes.
Han Qingyu nearly kneeled when she felt the pressure intensifying, but Shen Yuan put a hand on her shoulder and the pressure vanished for her as well.
The Sect Leader's eyes flashed with surprise as she retracted all her pressure, "My apologies. I couldn't resist examining you more closely when I saw you standing before me. You truly are something else, even I can't see through you completely."
Shen Yuan left Han Qingyu's side and stepped forward a bit, he bowed slightly in respect before speaking, "No need to mind about that, my mom talked a lot about you before, Senior Mei Hua."
He took a good look at her after finishing speaking, she was wearing a thin pink veil, covering her face as they revealed her enchanting pink eyes, and her pink hair reached her waist.
She was sitting barefoot beside the lake with a zither, looking curiously at Shen Yuan.
Mei Hua's eyes curled slightly as if smiling a bit, she asked gently, "Yuxin, huh..., what did she say about me?"
'Fuck! She never talked about you! I was just being polite.' Shen Yuan groaned inwardly while thinking about what to make up.
Shen Yuan nodded in understanding, "I see...so that's how it was arranged. Then I will..."
Huo Rong, Han Qingyu, Xun Shuren, and Mei Hua waited with bathed breaths to hear Shen Yuan's decision.
"...join the Radiant Lotus Sacred Sect, since that was why I came this far. And my family is already here, so it would be better to just stay here until I'm strong enough to travel the land on my own." he finished speaking with a smile on his face.
All the other women heaved a sigh of relief hearing his decision. Then they all got happy receiving a peerless genius in their sect.
"Welcome to the Sect, Shen Yuan." Xun Shuren came forward a bit and welcomed Shen Yuan into the sect.
Mei Hua also nodded her head, "Very well, Shen Yuan, you are welcome to the sect. But where do you think we should place you?"
She asked him for his opinion on this matter since he would be the one to receive the treatment of that rank.
Shen Yuan thought for a second before replying, "Outer Sect disciple would be the best for now."
Huo Rong stepped forward a bit and nudged him, "Are you sure about that, Yuan'er? You can directly become a core disciple you know. Why do you want to become an outer disciple."
Shen Yuan turned around and patted her head lightly before explaining in a gentle tone, "You tell me, when an unknown male disciple, who no one has even heard of, joined one of the most powerful all-female sects of Eastern Desolate Region, and as a core disciple at that. How would the sect disciples react?"
Huo Rong contemplated for a bit before answering, "There would be unrest in the sect, disciples might even be dissatisfied with the treatment of the sect. And the top disciples will think that an outsider stole a spot of the core disciple from them."
