Lachlan felt relieved and pleased with Sullivan's attitude. Before coming, he had wondered about the Broken Pulse Sect's specific attitude towards him. Now, it seemed favorable.
Since entering the cultivation world, he had encountered many treacherous situations, making the attitude of this Broken Pulse Sect deputy sect master quite moving. Perhaps it was because of his heritage, but there were no genuine favors between people. The fact that the other party could display such an attitude was already reassuring. Moreover, becoming a disciple under him gave Lachlan a sense of belonging and peace of mind.
Master, master!
Lachlan had been without a father since he was 18, always relying on himself. This feeling of having someone to rely on was something he had rarely experienced.
"Alright, Lachlan, since you've chosen to personally undergo the entrance assessment," Sullivan said, "I won't stop you. However, let's make it clear: You're only allowed to use the strength of your peak Core Formation stage!"
"I'm looking forward to your performance!"
Upon hearing Sullivan's words, Lachlan's face lit up with a confident smile. "Master, rest assured, I'm confident in my abilities!"
After chatting for a few more moments, Lachlan turned and walked towards the mountaintop.
Watching Lachlan's departing figure, Kyrie chuckled and said to Sullivan, "Deputy Sect Master, what do you think of Lachlan?"
"He's more than just good; I've hit the jackpot!" Sullivan exclaimed. "I can tell this lad is a perfect Uppecia. Moreover, breaking through to the Golden Core Realm and awakening dual special attributes! Besides his inherited qualities, just these few points make him an unparalleled genius in cultivation! Whether it's his strength, character, or temperament, he's top-notch! I never expected to find such talent in the secular world outside!"
"It's a blessing for our Broken Pulse Sect to have my disciple Lachlan!"
As Sullivan's voice fell, many people in the pavilion nodded silently. However, some had mixed expressions, with hints of rejection and concern.
"Perhaps it's also a disaster. Don't forget, he's a traitor from the ancient Willis family!" an elder frowned.
Hearing this, Kyrie's expression darkened, and he snorted, "Elder Everchanging, don't say that! Our Broken Pulse Sect has always been hostile to the ancient Willis family. Adding Lachlan won't change that."
Deputy Sect Master Sullivan waved his hand. "Are we afraid of the ancient Willis family? Enough, Lachlan is now my disciple. Let's not discuss this further!"
Meanwhile, back on the mountaintop, Lachlan scanned the area but didn't see Fiona. His brows furrowed, and his expression darkened. Given Fiona's admiration for him earlier, she should have obediently listened when he told her not to move around. Her sudden disappearance could mean trouble!
Although the Hall of Enforcement disciples were maintaining order around, Lachlan knew they wouldn't intervene unless a major conflict occurred.
Quickly approaching the crowd, Lachlan soon spotted a group of people gathered in the distance. Within the crowd, insults and jeers were directed at someone.
"Fiona, you're nothing but useless! You don't deserve to be here!"
"If I were you, I'd have slunk away by myself already!"
"Yeah, what's the big deal about relying on others? Show some real skill by passing the first stage on your own!"
Five or six people surrounded Fiona, their words filled with provocation and insult, though they hadn't resorted to physical violence yet. Many bystanders watched the spectacle, unwilling to intervene.
Among the crowd, Fiona's face blushed crimson, her petite figure appearing extremely vulnerable amidst the crowd.
Trying to avoid these people, but how could they let her off so easily?
Someone pushed Fiona forward, startling her, and causing her to accidentally sit on the ground.
Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
After all, this young girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she appeared graceful due to her training, she was still young.
Meanwhile, others around laughed heartily, as if watching a good show, their eyes filled with mockery.
