The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Which treacherous beast yelled that out? Tang Rao really wanted to know who it was; this method was simply brilliant!

Hearing this shout, those still inside the circle were all stunned for a moment, then their faces darkened, realizing they had been eliminated.

As for Fan Xiaohua, he too had a look of sadness, then let go of the hand he was pulling.

"Ah, failed." Fan Xiaohua shook his head.

The guy who had just been pulled by Fan Xiaohua immediately squatted down, covering his face with both hands, as if he wanted to have a good cry.

"Alright, enough. Clinging to me like you've got a disease, let go, let go!" Fan Xiaohua patted off the hands that were pulling on him.

Those people also withdrew their hands, acknowledging their failure.

"Whoosh!" The moment those hands left Fan Xiaohua's body, he bolted out like a wild horse at a gallop, a cheetah in high spirits, a grass dog whose tail was stepped on—unbelievably fast.

In an instant, Fan Xiaohua suddenly surged forward, broke free from the encirclement, and rushed out of the big circle drawn by Tang Rao.

"Hahaha, hahahaha! I've succeeded, I, Fan Xiaohua, have finally succeeded! I'll also be a member of a sect now, I'm just so impressed with myself!" Fan Xiaohua laughed wildly, with his head held high, in a utterly indomitable manner.

"Is this guy brain-dead?"

"Isn't that the truth? They just said it's over and the hundred people quota was filled, so why the hell would he still run?"

"This idiot; his brain is missing a string."

"Sect Master, did I count? Am I now a part of the Kao Shan Sect?" Fan Xiaohua didn't care about those people's gossip and looked directly at Tang Rao, excitedly asking.

So, it was this kid. Tang Rao looked at Fan Xiaohua, a faint smile emerging on his face.

Although Fan Xiaohua's means were somewhat despicable, honestly, Tang Rao thought this unbridled approach was quite good, it suited his taste.

What's the fun in sticking to conventions? It's much more exciting to be flamboyant and mess around.

"Of course, welcome to the Kao Shan Sect." Tang Rao nodded and said.

What?

Everyone was stunned. What was going on? Didn't they just say that time's up, the quota was filled, and the examination was over? Why was Fan Xiaohua's dash still valid? Wasn't this unfair?

"So this is how Kao Shan Sect recruits new people? Now I've seen it all!"

"Heh, I used to think Kao Shan Sect would have a different future, but now it seems, it's just this."

"It was even better before!"

Many were dissatisfied, what kind of farce was this? Have they ever seen such blatant rigging?

"Hahaha, you bunch of fools, I was the one who shouted that line!" Fan Xiaohua turned around, pointed at the people still in the circle, and laughed. Then, he imitated Tang Rao's voice and repeated the shout.

The crowd was dumbfounded. Damn... so you can play like this!

Whoosh whoosh!

As people stood stupefied, suddenly two more on the perimeter charged out, and there you have it, one hundred people, quota filled.

"This time it's for real, one hundred people filled up. As for the remaining fifty, I can only say sorry, come back next time when Kao Shan Sect is recruiting again," Tang Rao said with a smile.

The remaining fifty people, although cursing and swearing, no one spoke up to argue.

Because there really was nothing to argue about, Fan Xiaohua's methods were low, but Tang Rao had already said earlier that no matter what means were used, as long as you're out of the circle, it counted.

So, Fan Xiaohua didn't break any rules.

"Alright, those who weren't selected may leave now. Thank you for your support towards Kao Shan Sect, we will announce when we are recruiting again next time." Tang Rao said loudly.

Although there were still some people who were reluctant, in the end, they all dispersed, leaving behind the selected hundred or so people.

Apart from Xiao Se, who was personally appointed by Tang Rao as an elder, all the others were ordinary members.

Of course, in Kao Shan Sect, there's not much difference between ordinary members and elders anyway.

"Elder Sun, please take them to the square inside, I'll be there shortly." Tang Rao said before leaving everyone behind and running off.

He wasn't rushing off to the bathroom because he was urgently needing to pee, but to change his clothes.

After all, this was the first time recruiting members, and as the Sect Master, he had to dress impressively to also show his respect for others.

Ten minutes later, Tang Rao arrived at the square, wearing a flamboyant outfit, yes, the flamboyant dress of the Yan nation.

The perfect tailoring coupled with his robust physique, he was unquestionably handsome and stylish.

"Wow, Tang Rao, you actually look pretty decent when you dress up," Xiao Yun commented, smacking her lips.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes. Can't you speak properly? What do you mean 'look pretty decent when dressed up'? Am I not a person when I don't wear flamboyant dresses? Let me tell you, even if I'm wearing beggar's clothes, I'd still be overwhelmingly handsome.

"My fellow sect members!" Tang Rao ascended to a high platform, his tone calm, "First of all, I want to congratulate you. From this moment on, you are members of Kao Shan Sect. Let me tell you some rules of our sect, some important matters, and some of our beliefs and aspirations."

"Sect Master, this, the rules of Kao Shan, maybe I should explain them, they're quite complex," Sun Kuangjiang whispered.

"Not complex at all, there are only three," Tang Rao said.

What? Sun Kuangjiang was stunned, the rules of Kao Shan Sect were numerous, they could fill up half a book! How could there only be three?

"From today on, there will only be these three," Tang Rao said, looking at Sun Kuangjiang.

It seems that Tang Rao intended to abolish the old rules of the sect.

But when said out loud, many of the previous rules of Kao Shan Sect were indeed overly cumbersome.

"Rule one: Everyone in the sect is equal; there are only different functional roles, no hierarchy of status. Those who violate this rule will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from Kao Shan Sect," Tang Rao shouted.

What?

The hundred or so newcomers all had their mouths agape, completely unable to believe or understand what they heard.

"Sect Master, can I understand this to mean that if more than fifty percent of people think you are not suitable to be the Sect Master, you will be dismissed?" Xiao Se asked.

"Yes!" Tang Rao nodded, "Not only that, but there will also be supervisors within the sect, and anyone found to be oppressing other members will be dealt with according to the aforementioned rule."

"Alright, I got it," Xiao Se nodded, her heart profoundly shocked. This reform seemed simple, but it contained great wisdom, and such boldness was unparalleled.

"Rule two: Immortal Stones required for cultivation by sect members will be provided by the sect without limit. Of course, the Immortal Stones withdrawn must correspond to the actual increase in one's strength, and there will be personnel in the sect to assess and inspect this. Anyone whose use of Immortal Stones does not match their progress will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from Kao Shan Sect," Tang Rao announced the second rule of the sect.

The second rule caused yet another round of exclamations.

Unlimited supply of Immortal Stones... meaning that as long as you have the talent and the ability to advance, you could continue to request Immortal Stones from the sect, such a rule was insane.

"What kind of ratio would be considered appropriate between the amount of Immortal Stones withdrawn and the improvement of one's strength?" Fan Xiaohua asked eagerly, her eyes shining brightly, probably thinking about making a profit.

"The ratio will be assessed based on your cultivation when you make each withdrawal. I will announce the specifics later," Tang Rao said.

"Alright alright," Fan Xiaohua nodded quickly.

"Rule three, and the last one: All members of Kao Shan Sect must not betray the sect. Violators will have their cultivation abolished and be executed without mercy," Tang Rao declared the third rule of the sect.

"I'm a bit confused about this one, you abolish their cultivation before killing them? Why not just kill them directly?" Lu Jun asked.

This was also the question on everyone else's minds.
