MEIWITA Chapter 713: Core Pupil of the Central Hall

Ming Xiu stayed with Lou Mu Yan until they arrived back in Central State City before separating.

Lou Mu Ting, Wu Nuan, Mu’rong Qing, and the others gathered and continued to accept missions to rank up the Mu Feng Mercenary.

Lou Mu Yan found the headquarters of the Mercenary Union in Central State City with an edict in hand.

“Young Miss Lou, please follow me.”

As soon as she stepped into the Mercenary Union, a beautiful woman greeted her with a smile, obviously having been waiting for a long while.

“Yes!” Lou Mu Yan nodded with a smile.

She followed the woman through the hall, travelled through several corridors, and entered the deepest room.

There was a Teleportation Array within the room, which was guarded by two elderly men at Core Elemental Realm.

“Young Miss Lou is a new Core Pupil of the Central Hall and I’m taking her to report to the Central Hal.” The woman said, looking at the two.

“Yes.” The two immediately took out dozens of middle-quality spiritual stones and embedded them into the array to begin the teleportation

When Lou Mu Yan came out of the teleportation array, she saw a garden surrounded by blooming flowers. There was a lake in the distance on the left and a waterfall in the distance on the right. From time to time there were people passing by.

Not far away was a towering and majestic palace, quaint and sacred.

She followed the woman all the way forward into the hall.

There were many people coming and going in the hall right now, and they all looked at Lou Mu Yan with curiosity, but they weren’t surprised by arrival.

They didn’t stop and Lou Mu Yan went straight to the third floor.

When the figures of the two disappeared from the hall on the first floor, many people gathered together to discuss in whispers.

“That must be Lou Mu Yan, the champion of the alchemy competition right.”

“Yeah, I watched from too far away last time, but she’s even more beautiful with a closer look.”

“We have to establish a good relationship with such a young grade 8 alchemist in the future.”

“Obviously, the core pupils of the Alchemy Pagoda are so arrogant when we ask them to refine pills. I hope Junior Sister Lou is more approachable, so that we can also go find her to trade and refine pills in the future.”

“Junior Sister Lou looks very gentle and refreshing to me. Last time, I saw her save those people during the alchemy competition and she was the most approachable and doesn’t look like someone who’d put in a haughty and aloof attitude like others.”

“I also think that Junior sister Lou isn’t only beautiful but also a nice person.”

“…”

Although Lou Mu Yan had already left the hall, but her mental energy was very strong, so she basically heard all the discussions about her.

Her lips raised into an arc. It seemed that the people of the Mercenary Union weren’t bad. At least most of them welcomed her joining.

When they reached the only room on the third floor, the beautiful woman knocked on the door.

“Come in.” A loud voice sounded.

Lou Mu Yan followed the beautiful woman and pushed the door in to see a burly, middle-aged man with yellow hair sitting inside and the group of three with An Yu Qian standing in front of him.

The middle-aged man with yellow hair sized Lou Mu Yan up and down. And said with a smile: “Indeed a girl with outstanding temperament.”

“Senior overpraises.” Lou Mu Yan could tell from the aura emanating from the other party that this person was a powerhouse at Intermediate Unification Realm.

“I’m the Hall Master of the Central Hall of the Mercenary Union. And I’m also the Vice Union Leader, Rong Liao. From now on, I’ll be responsible for your arrangements in the Mercenary Union.” Rong Liao smiled kindly and didn’t use any pressure as an establishment of status.

Lou Mu Yan also discovered that although the other party was tall and muscular, but he had a natural affinity.

“Mu Yan will follow the arrangements of Hall Master.”

“These three are your senior brothers. You already know each other so I won’t introduce you either.”

Rong Liao paused and said with a smile: “The three of them have completed the investigator mission after successfully recruiting you to join the Mercenary Union, and will now also cultivate with you in the Central Hall.”

“Then will I also need to accept the mission as an investigator?” Lou Mu Yan asked curiously.

“Usually the pupils of the Central Hall all have to serve as investigators for two to five years and complete some investigations and recruitment missions.

“But you don’t have to, you skipped being an ordinary pupil and became a core pupil directly.” Rong Liao continued: “The Union Leader thinks that you don’t need to go be an investigator and pass the trial. What awaits you are more difficult assessment missions.

“Are you afraid?” His topic changed and he looked at Lou Mu Yan with deep eyes.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled, her gaze firm and fearless, “I like challenging difficult mission the most.”

“Very good, having a heart that’s not afraid of hardships and advancement is a good start.” Rong Liao was quite satisfied with Lou Mu Yan’s answer.

“Then what do I need to do now?” Lou Mu Yan asked.

“You just need to familiarise yourself with the Central Hall and the rules of the Central Hall, then wait for the opening of the Pagodas of Enlightenment.” Rong Liao said: “During this time, I’ll have An Yu Qian and the other two guide you to familiarise yourself with the Central Hall and arrange your cultivation matters.

“Of course, you’re also considered a special existence since the moment you entered the Central Hall, you became a core pupil, so your authority is comparable to An Yu Qian and the others, and have the qualification to meet me directly.”

Rong Liao handed a badge representing a core pupil of the Central Hall to Lou Mu Yan and said: “Little girl, we welcome you in joining.”

Lou Mu Yan took the badge with both hands and pinned it on her clothes, then replied with a smile: “Thank you, Hall Master, I’m also honoured to be able to join the Mercenary Union.”

Rong Liao nodded: “Then you can go with the three of them to familiarise yourself with the Central Hall first.”

“Yes, I’ll take my leave.”

After leaving the room on the third floor, An Yu Qian looked at Lou Mu Yan with a gentle smile and asked: “Mu Yan, do you want to choose a residence first or tour the Central Hall first?”

“Let’s choose a residence first.” Lou Mu Yan replied without needing to think.

“Then follow us.” An Yu Qian continued with a smile: “The Central Hall is divided into ordinary pupils and core pupils. The residences of ordinary pupils would all be arranged early on by the union, while the core pupils can choose a palace to cultivate in within an area.”

“Mm.”

“Mu Yan, you’re so powerful, you became a grade 8 alchemist just like that.” Xia Xuan Ye had some impure thoughts towards Lou Mu Yan from the very beginning but ever since he knew that she was the future Princess Consort of Monarch Ming, he had to give up his desire to pursue her.

Lou Mu Yan blinked and said with a smile: “I was just trying to surprise you all.”

She and the three of them had experienced life-threatening dangers for the past half a year and could be regarded as good friends, so they were also casual when speaking to each other.

“HAHA, you didn’t just surprise us, you practically frightened us.” Xia Xuan Ye joked.

Chu Xi followed up and said: “Yeah! At the time, you almost blinded us when you won the championship in the alchemy competition by refining intermediate-level grade 8 pills.”

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and jokingly said: “Don’t worry, I can cure you if you’re blinded.”

“That’s true, you’re also a grade 8 physician.” Chu Xi pursed his lips and said: “Why are you so pervertedly talented.”

“You’re the pervert.” Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him without a good attitude.

Chu Xi chuckled: “I’m just praising you for being amazing.” They chatted all the way and soon arrived at a place filled with spiritual force. In the distance, there were many palaces, each of which were shrouded in mist formed by layers of spiritual force, which looked mysterious and unique.

“This is the place where only core pupils are eligible to reside. At present, two-thirds of it has already been chosen by other core pupils. You can choose an empty palace as your residence.”

An Yu Qian paused, then added: “The steward, attendants, and internal resources assigned to each palace are the same. It just depends on where you like to live.”

“Alright, I’ll take a look first.”
