Chapter 7: Changes to the system
"How dare you create troubles in the sacred grounds of my sect!"
As this powerful voice resounded through the surroundings, everything seemed to freeze. For some reason though, I was still able to move freely! What makes me worried though, are the words spilt by the Eva.
Spirit Attainment? That's the fucking pinnacle of the mortal realm! In my entire sect, only a few old grand elders and the sect master managed to reach it! Even if I'm still able to move, it's not wise to betray that fact when such an expert comes my way!
"Break!"
With this word from a beautiful female that just came into my view, the world recovers to its usual state. What's different though is that this arrogant boy changed his attitude to that of a beaten-up dog!
"Sect master! Please, redress my grievances!"
Instantly dropping his weapon, he falls to his knees with fake tears appearing on his face. Smashing his head on the hard stones making up the floor of the wide, open area, he patiently waits for his Sect master reaction.
"What kind of trouble did you found with our dear Eva?"
Even while asking this simple question, her insanely deep, blue eyes are throwing bolts of lightning at the kowtowing cultivator. From this look alone it's apparent that she is discontented with the way he acts!
No good! If this situation develops like this, I will be struck by yet another cliche where this guy will hold a grudge against me for some reason!
"As per your orders, as soon as this strange ray of light appeared in the training grounds, I rushed to look for our brothers and sisters. When I came back after excruciating four hours of fending off the beasts attacking my colleagues, I was on the verge of collapsing from worry, because I couldn't find my beloved Eva!"
At this point, this bastard raises his head and throws me a hateful look
"But when I found her here, with some unknown, Mortal nobody All cuddled and happy, my emotions took over me! Please forgive me my overreaction!"
Noticing the heavy stare of the sect master, this boy quickly changed the destination his speech was heading too. Just from this fact, I get to know that he had some brains in the end.
"Uuh"
Sighing deeply, the sect masters turns her eyes to us. With her gaze falling on me, I can feel her spirit scanning my whole being as if I was put into a big 3in1 machine from modern times only to be printed by 3d printer a while later. If I were to guess, with her level of the scan, the printout would actually have a soul and mind!
"I'm glad that you recognised your faults. Now go back to your quarters and cultivate to stabilise your mind. You should know how fragile it can be at your level!"
Taking his statement seriously could only bring more trouble later! Oh, great sect master! Please tell me that you do notice the wrath burning in his eyes! Stop this avalanche of cliches before it happens!
But this faulty sect master doesn't look like she is bothered by the situation by even the tiniest bit! Instead, she walks closer to us and looks at the Eva.
"Can you explain to me why did you bring this man to our sect? You know that mortals aren't allowed here!"
That explains the strange stare that she keeps sending my way every so often. Thankfully, I can't see any hostility in her eyes, it's more like she is rather curious about the situation!
"Sect Master, forgive me how daring I will be by saying this, but I believe that this matter should be discussed in the private!"
Before even speaking those words, my goddess obediently lowers her head, realising how unforgivable her act is. For a mere surfacing level cultivator to speak up to a damn Spirit attainment master? Taking just the difference of their strengths into the equation, she should be rejoicing that she was allowed to report to such an expert!
To my surprise, the Sect Master didn't lash out at her, but looked at her from top to the bottom and sighted. With a slight move of her hand, I could feel the entire area being sealed off. In just a moment, all the voices from the surroundings seemed to disappear, as if we were transported to another dimension!
"You can speak freely now. I sealed out this space so we can talk in peace. Can you explain now what happened?"
There had to be some strange connection between Eva and this Sect Master! How could such a powerful expert act so plausible towards her otherwise?
"Master, I believe that this man is a fallen immortal, but one that retained his memories!"
What? Like, WHAT?
An immortal? Does she even know what she is speaking about? Even with the extensive knowledge gathered by my former clan, the only mentions of Immortals were in the legends and myths! How could she be so shameless to talk about weird stuff like this!?
"Do you have any proof though? I can't see him being any different from a typical immortal!"
It looks that I won't even have a word in this conversation for now. The best thing I could do is to focus on their talk to figure out a correct story that will fit their stupid ideas! If only I could turn down those annoying notifications still flashing everywhere and covering more than half of my vision!
"Blop!"
"System detected the wish to clear out the vision!"
"Do you like to buy the sorting function?"
"Cost is five attribute points"
Ok, you got me. Since when this damn system can fucking speak!
But this is a good opportunity! If I could get rid of all those messages, maybe I would be able to focus on more important matters like the discussion that can decide whether I will live or die on this sect roadside?!
As the women talk is still ongoing, I softly whisper "Yes"
This time, the change to the system only causes me to get a little dizzy. While my eyes clouded for a moment, when I blinked, I could finally see the world clearly!
