Chapter 162
When Moses saw Anne’s state, she was shocked.
Before she came, Moses racked her brain and thought of thousands of ways to comfort Anne as she felt Anne must have been downcasted after receiving such a blow.
Moreover, she was even worried that Anne might be world -weary, and Moses was ready to enlighten him.
However, Moses noticed that Anne’s gaze was still full of energy as it used to be, and she knew that her worries before were unnecessary.
Anne’s state instantly lightened up Moses’s gloomy mood, and she felt better too.
After learning about Moses’s purpose in visiting him, Anne chuckled, “Moses, you don’t have to worry about me.
This matter isn’t a blow for me.”
Hearing Anne’s words, Moses could not help but think, ‘The complete damage of his energy channels is not a blow… Was Casper too shocked that his mental health was affected?’
For a warrior determined to enter the pathway to immortality, the damage of their meridians would equal to having their future ruined.
Hence, who would have believed that it was not a heavy blow?
Nonetheless, Anne noticed Moses’s puzzled expression, and he swiftly understood what she thought.
Then, Anne laughed.
“Moses, you came at the right time! I was about to visit you to know more about the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.”
“So, you knew about this matter!” Moses’s eyes lit up, but she was then confused, “Did someone from the Dark Moon Sect inform you about this?”
“Yes! A guy named Robert told me.” Anne smiled.
“Robert Bleu from the Dark Moon Sect? I know him, and he’s somewhat famous, but he isn’t that great.” Moses frowned slightly.
Although Moses’s choice of words was highly tactful, one could tell the hint of criticism in them.
Moreover, if Anne were to decipher, Robert’s personality was not that great but he was extremely irritating.
However, the two of them were unwilling to delve into such an unrelated person, and Moses was also quick to get back onto the topic.
“The Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony will be held once a year, and it’s considered as a way for the various sects to open up their door to recruit disciples.
The message behind it is also to tell the mortals that the pathway to immortality is always open, and as long as one qualifies, they can embark on the journey.”
“Message… That would mean there’s a hidden implication?” Anne asked.
When Moses realized that Anne was as quick-witted as always, she was assured.
Since she was sure that Anne did not turn into a fool, Moses continued to explain, “That’s right.
Judging from the previous Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, although those participating would be the younger generations of various families or even tens of thousands of random contestants, there would only be less than five of them accepted by the sects was already considered many.
Usually, there would be none recruited.”
In his view, the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony would surely be a grand event.
With the participation of tens of thousands of contestants, there would at least be 100 people selected if 1% of them were admitted.
But, Moses said that it was a norm for no one to be recruited, and it sounded like a deliberate exaggeration to scare people.
If someone else told him that, Anne would think that they were joking, but Moses was the speaker of the statement, and Anne did not doubt her at all.
“That’s right.
Not even one, and it’s really common,” Moses answered seriously, “Due to this fact, I was also supposed to return after the Evergreen Town’s competition, but I decided to stay, just for you.”
When she said the last three words, Moses’s cheeks were slightly reddened, and she involuntarily looked downward.
As the breeze blew, the lady’s long hair fluttered slightly by her ears.
At that moment, the summer breeze and the lady sketched out a beautiful and heartwarming scene.
Suddenly, Anne’s heart ineffably skipped a beat.
However, a silhouette emerged in his mind.
Under the heavy pressure, the person still stubbornly raised her head, mumbling that she would save him.
In an instant, Anne’s mind became clear.
After calming himself down, Anne turned his focus back to the topic.
“Moses, why didn’t anyone pass it? Do the sects not need any new talent recruitments?”
As she tucked her hair away behind her ears, Moses giggled.
“The sects are recruiting every year.
How can you say that they don’t have to recruit?”
“Then, why…” Just as Anne said those two words, he abruptly understood, “I get it.
It‘s not that they don’t need new talents, but they just don’t want those participating in the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony.”
“You‘re right! That’s indeed the truth!” looking at Anne’s flickering eyes, Moses nodded and explained, “Each sect has their territories, and as long as any talents are appearing in those areas, the sect will directly accept them as disciples to prevent other sects from secretly intercepting them.
For example, Milos.
Since she was proven to have a Pure Jade Physique, the Dark Moon Sect immediately recruited her, indicating that she belonged.
In such a situation, if other sects still look for Milos, it will be equivalent to them poaching talents from the Dark Moon Sect.”
After a pause, she continued, “Moreover, if Milos or the Lawrence family agrees to the new offer, the consequences will be dire as it’s tantamount to betraying her masters and sect.
At that time, the Dark Moon Sect will arrange for masters to eradicate the entire Lawrence family directly.
Hence, as long as it’s a talent, the person won’t need to join any competition, and the various sects will recruit them.
As for the Sects’ Recruitment Ceremony, from a certain point of view, it can be said that it’s just a formality to let the world know that the pathway to immortality is not completely closed to the mortals.”
Anne responded, “But, this is still a chance!”
Moses suddenly said, “But, this is only one of your opportunities, Casper.”
When Moses saw Anne looking at her, puzzled, Moses suddenly became a little excited. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Casper, do you still remember what I said before? The Heavenly Stars Sect will always welcome you! Although your meridians are completely shattered, your inscription talent isn’t affected at all.
Hence, I hope you don’t give up.
Although there hasn’t been a master of inscription technique since ancient times, you might be the one, Casper! As long as you agree to enter the Heavenly Stars Sect, you’ll be our disciple from this moment onward!”
Seeing how excited Moses was, Anne was touched.
At this time, Moses still implied that the Heavenly Stars Sect would always welcome him.
There was no need to say more about her protectiveness over him.
Looking at Moses’s glistening eyes, Anne suddenly noticed that he could not reject her.
At that time, he saw his silhouette in Moses’s clear eyes, and the Earring of Echo on his right earlobe emitted a faint light.
‘Mother…’ Anne called out in his heart.
‘Thoughts become things.
If you see it in your mind, you’ll hold it in your hand.’
At that moment, Anne realized the answer that he wanted in his heart.
