"A day apart feels like three years. But Domoto, you're all talk and no action. If I were you, I would take out all my money today. Junior Sister Scarlet has just entered the Holy Land. As a cadre of the Alchemy Apprentice Union, shouldn't you express your gratitude?" Faye was also quite optimistic about this pair. Both Okuyama Domoto and Scarlet were the cream of the crop in the Mystic Sect. More importantly, Okuyama Domoto had never found a Dual Cultivation Partner. It was rare for him to fall in love with Scarlet, so it could be considered a marriage.
"You guys don't have any control over your words. A good relationship between a fellow disciple and a junior sister has changed after hearing your words. Don't scare our Junior Sister Scarlet." Okuyama Domoto laughed. "Of course, I have no problem with that. Junior Sister can look for me anytime if you need anything."
It had to be said that this guy was indeed very gentlemanly. Although he was expressing goodwill, he did not go overboard, and it was difficult to dislike him.
However, it was a pity that Scarlet did not have any intentions of accepting them. Just as she was about to tactfully reject them, she suddenly saw Grai, Mario, and Sharmie walking over from the other side of the room. Scarlet's heart instantly skipped a beat. She immediately knew who had arrived.
"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, I'm sorry." Scarlet suppressed the excitement in her heart. She wanted to fly to the door immediately. "Excuse me."
It was obvious that her voice was slightly trembling. She turned around eagerly and dashed to the door at a jogging speed, leaving Okuyama Domoto and the others dumbfounded.
Laura also excused herself and ran behind Scarlet. Molton, who was at the side, knew who was outside the door when he saw their expressions. He laughed and smoothed things over. "Let's go, I have a little brother here. I made friends with him on Earth recently. I'll introduce you two to each other."
Although they said it was a little brother of Molton's, as long as one was not blind, they could see the lovey-dovey expressions on Laura and Scarlet's faces.
Robben coughed softly, while Faye looked to the side with a faint smile. Okuyama Domoto smiled slightly. "Let's go and see who this person is."
The person who appeared at the door was a young man who looked a little unkempt. He had been traveling alone in the desert for more than a month. Although he had accompanied Molton back to Katchirda Village, it was obvious how precious clean water was in a village in the desert. The two of them naturally couldn't bear to use the water that the villagers regarded as precious to bathe in. At most, they only used it to wash their faces. Molton had returned to the villa early to clean up, but Wang Zhong had been handling the paperwork ever since he entered the city. When he arrived, he was covered in dust, and there was an old, yellowed travel bag slung over his shoulder. Although his face looked clean, his clothes were covered in dust, and he looked no better than a beggar.
However, it was precisely this sloppy man that caused Scarlet, who had always been cold and aloof during the small gathering, to rush forward and give him an affectionate hug.
This …
Most of the people present were old foxes in the Mystic Sect, and they knew the power of the legendary 9-star Great Teacher who appointed Scarlet. Although this junior sister was just a newcomer, her future achievements in the Mystic Sect and even the entire Holy City would definitely not be inferior to anyone present. Thus, they naturally valued her very much. This new girl also had a rather imposing aura. She was nice to women, but she was unapproachable to men. Even Okuyama Domoto, who was recognized as the most charming, couldn't get close to her. There had long been rumors in the Mystic Sect that she was known as the 'Iceberg Saintess.' But what did everyone see now? She actually hugged that beggar-like man?! Hugged?!
The senior brothers and sisters who came over all had meaningful expressions on their faces. Faye nudged Okuyama Domoto with her elbow, looking as if she wasn't afraid of things getting out of hand. She said with a faint smile, "There's a love rival."
"Hehe." Okuyama Domoto smiled slightly and didn't fall for her provocation. When he made up his mind to pursue Scarlet, with his power, he had already learned about all of Scarlet's ancestors on Earth. He also knew about Wang Zhong, the so-called number one person in the CHF, but so what? What kind of Dharma Idol could a person who hadn't even entered the Dimensional Blessed Lands and spent a lot of time and energy on low-level combat research during the Casted Soul Stage?
Furthermore, he had been in the Holy Land for many years and had seen too many young couples who were originally very close to each other, but they soon parted ways after entering the Holy Land. It was very normal. The so-called love was fragile in the face of reality, not to mention that these young people didn't know what love was at all. When they set foot in the Holy Land and pursued their true futures, unless they were always on the same level, even if there was no third party involved, they would eventually part ways.
Could you imagine a high and mighty Great Teacher at the Heavenly Soul Stage falling in love with an insignificant Holy Disciple? What kind of person was Scarlet? She was a genius favored by a legendary Great Teacher and was destined to be extraordinary in the future. Did such a woman really think that any random man from the Mortal World would be worthy of her?
Now that he was here, he was just a passerby. Okuyama Domoto was rather calm and still had a smile on his face.
On the other side, Wang Zhong received the highest level of welcome. Scarlet hugged Laura and followed behind him, followed by Grai, Sharmie, and Mario. Everyone was already very good friends before the CHF. Although they had only been separated for a few short months, too many things had happened. They had experienced great ups and downs, and life was like a dream.
In the shadow of 'Wang Zhong's exile', there was no doubt that it was a lifetime ago. Everyone had always held the thought that they would definitely see Wang Zhong again. Even when they chatted, they treated Wang Zhong as if he would return at any time. But in fact, everyone was very clear that it was just a fantasy, and they might not have the chance to see him again in this lifetime.
Scarlet and Laura's eyes were a little red. Fortunately, they had already received the news in the morning and were mentally prepared. Otherwise, they would definitely cry on the spot.
They naturally had a lot to say when they reunited after such a long time, but at this moment, the entire hall was focused on them, so they naturally couldn't neglect others.
"Come, Wang Zhong, let me introduce you to a few Senior Brothers and Sisters." Molton enthusiastically introduced Okuyama Domoto and the others to Wang Zhong.
As the host of the small gathering, Okuyama Domoto was particularly enthusiastic. He shook hands with Wang Zhong, smiled, and said, "I heard that Brother Wang Zhong won first place in the CHF of the Earth Federation this time. You were framed by jealousy and exiled to a dangerous place, but you managed to survive and return safely. You even condensed your Dharma Idol and obtained the opportunity to enter the Holy Land. You are indeed a promising young man. I admire you."
"Senior Brother, you're too polite."
"Brother Wang Zhong, you're late. There are only a few days left until the official disciple selection of the major cultivation forces. Do you know about the cultivation forces here? Have you considered which cultivation force to join? "
"I know a little. I've heard of some of them, but I'm still considering."
"We can't be careless in choosing a cultivation force." Okuyama Domoto said to Robben and the others in a serious tone, "Junior Brother is a friend of Molton and a good friend of Miss Scarlet. With these two layers of relationships, we can't just ignore them. Why don't you all give us some suggestions?"
Robben was usually the closest to him, so he immediately understood. He smiled and said, "That depends on what kind of Dharma Idol it is. The choice of cultivation force is quite related to one's Dharma Idol. The three major forces have different cultivation directions, and their requirements for Dharma Idols are also different. This will have a huge impact."
"That's right, Wang Zhong. What kind of Dharma Idol did you condense?" Laura was in a state of excitement and blurted out without thinking. Being able to pass the procedures in the Holy Land proved that Wang Zhong had already condensed his Dharma Idol. She was also very curious, and she had been swaying between choosing the Mystic Sect and the Sparta Clan during this period of time. She was all too aware of the importance of making a choice, so she couldn't wait for someone to help her.
The others were also curious. Who was this guy? How could a newcomer attract so much attention?
Under normal circumstances, it was taboo to ask others about their Dharma Idol, but in the Holy Land, who would care about an Apprentice?
"A Flaming Spirit Guard." Wang Zhong smiled and didn't pay too much attention to it.
As the host of this small gathering, Okuyama Domoto still had to maintain his composure. He smiled at Wang Zhong and said, "I heard that Junior Brother Wang is very valued by the Federation, and you don't even care about the Dimensional Blessed Lands. We are all very curious about what great Dharma Idol you have condensed."
Dharma Idols were actually like a girl's three measurements. This was a personal privacy, and other than teachers, no one else had the right to ask about it. Okuyama Domoto's words were a little provocative. In fact, all the Apprentices were very respectful to the Holy Disciples, especially when they were the leaders of the Holy Disciples. However, Wang Zhong didn't know his place from the moment he came in. In their eyes, he was arrogant, and Okuyama Domoto wouldn't spoil a poor kid.
