At this moment, Clove was wearing a plain white robe. Her long hair hung loosely behind her back. She did not put on any disguise. If she were an ordinary woman, she would be called unrestrained. However, on her, she seemed to have merged with the entire world.
Her sleeves fluttered in the wind. She was cold and outstanding.
Even Wu Jiong felt ashamed when she saw this. If she were to dress like this, she would definitely look like a "crazy girl".
"The Immortal Lord and I have watched your test today." Lilac didn't reveal a smile. Instead, she spoke in a flat tone.
Wu Jiong was stunned for a while before she reacted.
"The Immortal … the Immortal Lord watched too?"
Not only was her voice trembling, but she also looked vexed.
If she had known this would happen, she would have performed more perfectly today.
At the same time, she kept recalling her words and actions today.
She thought about what she had done wrong, or what she had said wrong.
"There's no need to feel so much pressure." Lilac seemed to have seen through her thoughts and only said softly, "The Immortal Monarch can go straight to the essence. No matter how you perform, you will only have one evaluation in the eyes of the Immortal Monarch, and that is the evaluation of your essence."
"Then …" Wu Jiong's lips trembled slightly. She looked like she wanted to ask but did not dare to.
"When did you become so timid?" Clove looked at her calmly.
"Master …"
Wu Jiong dragged out the word and leaned forward to grab Clove's sleeve. She looked completely coquettish.
In fact, she was indeed acting coquettishly.
However, Lilac remained unmoved. She only said indifferently,
He said calmly, "Respect for the Immortal Lord is in your heart. However, don't worry about personal gains and losses because of this. That will lower your evaluation in the Immortal Lord's heart."
"Yes."
Wu Jiong took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down. However, intentionally or otherwise, she moved closer to Clove.
In her heart, the Immortal Lord was high and unparalleled.
However, her master had appeared in her dreams since she was young and had accompanied her throughout her growth. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Especially when she realized that no matter how close she got or how coquettish she acted, her master would not be angry.
She gradually fell in love with this indescribable feeling.
Even if it was her mother, she wouldn't have allowed her to be so reliant on her at this age.
However, Wu Jiong still remembered the important matter at hand. She clutched the corner of the Clove's clothes tightly and cautiously approached it. She asked apprehensively, "Master, Immortal Monarch … what did he say about me?"
She couldn't help but feel nervous.
That was an Immortal Lord!
Even her master, a seemingly omniscient and omnipotent fairy, had feelings for the Immortal Monarch that surpassed everything else. It was already rare for her to be able to calm herself down in such a short period of time.
"Not bad." A faint smile appeared on Clove's face. "This is the Immortal Monarch's evaluation."
Wu Jiao opened his eyes wide.
It had been six years and three months since her master had appeared in her dreams, but this was the first time she had seen her master's smile!
Although her master was not very strict with her, nor was she indifferent, she had never revealed a smile. She was always aloof from worldly affairs, unmoved by worldly affairs, not bitterly bitterly disappointed, not revealing a trace of warmth. She was like a clear and cold ancient spring, as if there would not be the slightest ripple even after thousands of years.
But it was this kind of master.
She actually smiled.
Those deep and wise eyes contained a trace of gentleness that had never been seen before.
And this kind of change.
It was all because of one sentence from the Immortal Monarch.
For a moment, a small bit of jealousy rose in Wu Jiao's heart, but she quickly dispelled it. Then, because of this sentence, she could not control her joy.
This meant that the Immortal Monarch was very satisfied with her.
Wouldn't that mean …
"You can be my official disciple," Clove said again.
A pleasantly surprised smile appeared on Wu Jiao's face. Even her body was trembling.
At this moment, she actually felt a bit of panic.
She was panicking about whether this was really just a dream.
Although she called Clove 'Master', in reality, Clove had already said that unless she obtained the Immortal Monarch's approval, she would never be his official disciple.
And now, from this moment onwards, she would be her master's official disciple?
"Master –" Wu Jiao's voice was trembling, "Is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Wu Jiao lightly nodded. Her smile did not disappear, but she did not do anything else. She only continued, "However, the decision is still yours. When we leave this world, if you become my disciple, you will leave with us."
"Disciple is naturally willing to leave with Master!" Wu Jiao said without thinking, but looking at Clove's intelligent eyes, she seemed to realize something.
This was not the distance from Chang 'an to the Academy.
It was leaving this world.
Once she stepped onto the path of Immortality, she would be separated from Immortal and mortal. Everything in this world would have nothing to do with her, her parents, her sisters, her friends …
At this moment, Wu Jiao's heart was filled with reluctance and wavering.
No matter how talented and intelligent she was, she was still a thirteen-year-old girl. If she said that she had already severed her familial ties and was unwavering, then Shen Yi and Clove's evaluation of her would plummet. This was because she had already broken away from the emotions of a 'human'.
The Savior's status was transcendent, but he was still fundamentally human.
When interacting with people close to him, he was no different from ordinary people.
At this moment …
Clove saw Wu Jiao wavering but did not say anything.
Although leaving this world did not mean that one could not return, joining the association meant that one would be separated from everything in this world and step into a completely different environment.
Shen Yi had experienced this, as had Gu Yan and the others.
Only Clove had been in the association from the very beginning.
Wu Jiao wavered for a while before finally lowering her head and saying:
"If I ask my parents or sisters, there is only one answer. They would definitely want me to go with Master … In this world, there are countless regrets and reluctance. As long as they know that I'm good and I know that they're good, it's enough."
Reluctance, of course she was reluctant.
But if she gave up this opportunity because she was reluctant, then let alone her, even her parents, family, and friends would feel incomparably regretful and even blame themselves for the rest of their lives.
Thus, there was only one answer.
"We will probably stay in this world for about two years." Seeing that Wu Jiao had made her decision, Clove did not ask any more questions and only said, "Tomorrow, I will descend with my true body and announce to the world that I have accepted you as my disciple."
"Yes, Master."
Hearing that there were still two years, Wu Jiao let out a sigh of relief.
In this era, if a woman married far away, she might not be able to see her parents for the rest of her life. These two years were enough for her to accompany her parents.
