Chapter 189


    Again, Woo Nim was left in a daze. Her serious look and character made her look cute when speechless. She only spoke up after some time, Because the number in the ssic of Mountains and Seas is urate. Ive travelled along the Mother River with the second teacher. Also, the ssic of Mountains and Seas was a work by the Cloud Pce.


    Her words made the entire ss, even the teens from prestigious backgrounds in the North, hold their breath.


    The ssic of Mountains and Seas was a renowned work in this world. It contained records of all significant locations in this world, both in the North and South, and served as a survival guidebook for cultivators. With it, one could roughly identify and differentiate dangerous areas from ces where you could try your luck.


    The ssic of Mountains and Seas had been around for centuries, but the author remained unknown all this time. While some said that the book was a work of the Cloud Pce, many were not convinced as the Cloud Pce was often used to exin peculiar situations without any answer.


    But now that a teacher assistant of the Cloud Pce had admitted it, things were no longer the same. Moreover, she even mentioned that she and the second teacher had travelled along the entire river.


    <em>Along a seven thousand-kilometre river on foot?</em>


    This knowledge made all students view Woo Nim respectfully. She was from the Cloud Pce, and had there been any ordinary person who was rted to the Cloud Pce? Even a teacher assistant wasnt someone they could afford to offend.


    But the serious and old-fashioned Woo Nim didnt realise that she had gained the respect of the young talents in her ss with her sincere answer.


    Since the ss captain has been decided, the ss will end here for today. Well officially start ss tomorrow, and youll meet your gliphism teacher. Despite being the only Cloud Pce outer sect ss, you will stillpete with other institutions. We are the same as other institutions, but we have an additional rule you must remember. We can never lose.


    You are not allowed to lose any inter-schoolpetitions; if you do, all of you can prepare to pack your bags and go home. The year will end, but you must still pay the school fees. You are not allowed to lose as long as you represent the Cloud Pce. Understood? Woo Nim said. She meant everything she said.


    The two students sitting at the corner, stay behind to collect your uniform. The rest can leave.<hr>


    For a long time, the Cloud Pce had been the worlds focus, especially the Cloud Pce outer sect which was known as the stepping stone into the Cloud Pce.


    As soon as ss ended and the talents left, the news spread. The most shocking news wasnt the ssic of Mountains and Seas confirmed as a work of Cloud Pce or Kwon Shan Chuen bing the ss leader, but the special forty-third student.


    The Cloud Pce outer sect had been around for over a thousand years, but there had never been any special recruitment quota. It had always followed the rule of having forty-two students per intake.


    Every n and organisation fought hard for a ce in the Cloud Pces outer sect. Except for the imperial family, which had more than a single quota, other ns couldnt get an extra quota no matter how rich they were. But now it seemed like they had a special quota this year, and the Cloud Pce openly admitted it!


    Chui Yim became famous in no time, his name spread through the continent like wildfire. Everyone soon knew that he was Doctor Odd Ping Chis direct disciple, likely to be Chor Huet Zhins direct disciple with a very close rtionship with the Chor n, and so on.


    However, the world was more concerned about where the special quota came from. To them, being the direct disciple of Doctor Odd or Chor Huet Zhin wasnt enough; there were even more special and important figures who werent awarded this special quota. Besides talent, ones background and status yed an even more important role in getting a ce in the Cloud Pces outer sect.


    Now, the world felt that Chui Yim was definitely supported by some extremely important figure, whose identity was still hidden.<hr>


    The Evergreen Pces Almighty Hall.


    Yam Chui Ying stood behind Lam Zaa respectfully. Your Highness, why did you not answer when you knew the answer to the question?


    Since Chui Yim didnte to Lam Zaa, he gave the quota he had saved for Chui Yim to his shadow, Yam Chui Ying, which was why both were present in the ss today. Yam Chui Ying knew that Lam Zaa knew the answer to the question, yet he couldntprehend why Lam Zaa didnt fight for the ss captain position.


    Every ss captain of the outer sect ended up a big name in history, Lam Zaa said with his hands behind his back. But you forget amon point between all of them.


    Please enlighten me, Your Highness. Yam Chui Ying lowered his head respectfully.


    None of the ss captains became a Cloud Pce disciple. Lam Zaa smiled thinly.


    This left Yam Chui Ying in a daze as he tried to recall what he knew. <em>This does seem to be the case.</em>


    An actual elite only thinks about striving for the best, staying out of worldly affairs. There are two famous sayings from the Cloud Pce. One, we stay out of worldly affairs, and two. Lam Zaa paused before whispering, Other than following your heart, nothing matters.


    These are the two famous sayings of the Cloud Pce. Look, those who spend their time thinking about how to be the ss captain are not qualified to be one of the seven disciples.


    After the election today, at least half of the ss were eliminated. Those who struggled and strived to answer the question are no longer qualified to fight for the position of disciple with me now. As for the remaining Interesting, no?


    Lam Zaa looked out of the window. He felt that everything had be increasingly interesting.<hr>


    Brother Chui, why didnt you answer and fight for the position if you knew the answer?


    I dont want such a position without benefits and only work to be done.


    Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee stood in the Cloud Pces tattered outer sect building, which looked like a worn-out temple, chatting as they waited to collect their uniform. Large n disciples knew the rules and had collected their uniforms beforehand.


    Hehe, Brother Chui is such an interesting person.


    Same to you. You also knew the answer.


    My aim isnt here. Kam Chin Keeugh


    Then where is it? Chui Yim asked subconsciously.


    Me? I aspire to travel the world and make my mark, having the power to control my own life. I think that entering the Cloud Pce might help me achieve that.


    Chui Yim only randomly asked initially as who would expect a teenager toe up with such an answer? But Kam Chin Kees words had touched him deeply.


    <em>Isnt this simr to my own aim!?</em>


    Chui Yim took a long look at Kam Chin Kee. He suddenly felt less lonely in the world. Because of your words, you are now my friend!
