Chapter 8: Entering A Sect
People who had unique appearances were always the center of attention wherever they went.
With the good fortune that Shen Jingbin's face ushered in, Shen Jingchen was faced with an unprecedented amount of attention as he led Shen Jingbin over to the reception hall.
"Which sect are you planning to enter?" Standing at the entrance, Shen Jingchen surveyed the bustling reception hall before turning to ask her.
Shen Jingbin replied without the slightest bit of hesitation, "White Cloud Temple."
Having heard what she said, Shen Jingchen immediately wore an expression on his face that seemed to say "I knew it" as he looked at Shen Jingbin.
Shen Jingbin glared back at him before she walked past him and made her way towards White Cloud Temple's reception hall.
Shen Jingchen couldn't hold himself back any longer and a cold s.h.i.+ver ran through his body.
That expression of hers truly gave him a feeling of ecstasy.
As a Daoist temple, White Cloud Temple required its disciples to don its signature green Daoist robe. Although it looked a lot better than its real life counterpart, it was a little lacking when compared to the attire of the other sects.
This, coupled with the fact that their weapon was a horsetail whisk, meant that the average person had trouble coming to terms with swis.h.i.+ng around what was basically a chicken feather duster in battle.
Because of this, the number of people who were willing to join White Cloud Temple was much less than the other sects.
But the reason why she felt that White Cloud Temple wasn't as popular as the other sects, was because it walked the path of crowd control-based support.
White Cloud Temple held a position of mediocrity in the game. In an era where everyone wanted to manifest their personality, being mediocre clearly wasn't welcomed by the younger generation.
However, there are benefits to having less people as well.
Shen Jingbin silently queued at the back of the line. Her turn came a short while later.
"Young hero, are you planning to join White Cloud Temple? Please take out your wooden recommendation plaque."
In accordance with the NPC's instructions, Shen Jingbin took out the wooden plaque given by the Village Chief. When she handed it over, she heard the Daoist wearing a green robe exclaim with astonishment, "Eh, is this is a recommendation plaque personally made by senior Bai Hua!? Senior Bai Hua was the last disciple of the Swordmaster Pavilion's founder, but he unfortunately disappeared during the great war between the Celestials and Demons. Swordmaster Pavilion and my White Cloud Temple have spent many years looking, but were unable to find any trace of him. However, today young hero has come with his wooden recommendation plaque in hand and likely bears news of him as well. Since this is a serious matter, can young hero wait here for a moment while I consult the temple for instructions before I give you an answer?"
