Chapter 553: Enter or Die

“May I ask the few of you what these flowers represent?” Lonemoon could not help himself.

The woman replied, “The two of you are new here, so you might not know. The water on this plane is known as the New Water Mirror. It has the ability to reflect a manager’s true form. The flowers that it sprouts show the manager’s powers. The lighter the colour of the flowers, the higher the cultivation of the manager walking atop the water surface. It is the first time we’re seeing the water body sprout white flowers like yours.” Among the 16 people they have received so far, not one of them had white flowers.

Were their leg auras really that useful?

Lonemoon turned to face Chef, a strange expression on his face. Were their skills as managers considered so high? He did not think so at all! What’s more, if it was true that the higher the manager’s skills, the lighter the colour of the flowers, why was it that there were no flowers behind Shen Ying as she walked?

Perhaps their leg aura… Ah pui! Because of the flowers, the 16 people seemed to be looking at them much more kindly. Even Tu Zhi, who was treating them with contempt earlier, shut up.

“It looks like we should congratulate both of you in advance for becoming one of us,” the woman was becoming warmer and warmer toward them.

Lonemoon held himself back from turning her down immediately. Of course he had no intentions of joining this so-called Big Dao Organization. It was obvious that this was not an upright organization.

But the Fang lady they met earlier was right. There was no need to conflict with them, even if they were not afraid of them. What’s more, these people had their own planes backing them. If they joined forces to deal with Lonemoon, Yi QIng and Shen Ying, who knew what could happen? This was also why Lonemoon and the others had decided to make a trip down here instead of turning back to go home. Since they were already here, Lonemoon decided to just act interested in joining the organization.

“With your powers and skills, it’s no wonder that you so easily passed the test,” the woman continued. She raised her hand and conjured a seal. “As long as Boss Yu Heng… Eh?” She suddenly paused.

“What’s the matter?” Seeing that her expression had gone awry, the person beside her asked.

“The small testing world is gone!”

Everybody stiffened and their expressions changed as well. They all looked once again to the people in the middle. Their warm expressions became icy.

The woman scanned the two of them from head to toe and said in a low voice, “Managers, I sensed that the small world we normally use for testing has left our radius of control and disappeared without a trace. Can you please tell me what happened after you passed the test?”

It’s coming!

Lonemoon stared blankly back at her with a confused expression. “Test? May I know what you mean when you say “test”?” He was careful to look like he did not understand a word she was saying. “Must we still pass a test in order to join this organization?”

“You didn’t go through the test?” The woman scanned him from head to toe suspiciously. “Then how did you get here?”

“Of course we followed the aura in your invitation!” Lonemoon retrieved the red ribbon that he had prepared earlier. He regulated his immortal Qi, then sent it floating toward the woman.

The woman took it. Immediately, her expression darkened.

The manager Tu Zhi who was beside her caught on to something. He burst into laughter, “Ha ha ha… I really thought that the two of you managed to pass the test so quickly. So you didn’t even take the test!” Once he finished speaking, he turned to the woman and said, “Xiao Yun, how could you mess even something as small as this up? I’m going to watch how you’ll explain yourself when Boss comes.”

“You-” The woman was enraged. She shot a glare at Tu Zhi, then turned back to Lonemoon and Yi Qing with resentment. There was not a shred of warmth left in her eyes. “How does everyone think we should deal with this? Should we accept them or not?”

The others exchanged looked. They too had not expected that she would make a mistake like that. Before they could say something, Tu Zhi answered her.

“Of course not! If they haven’t passed the test, they cannot join the organization. Those are the rules!” Tu Zhi looked at them and said, “We have to stick with them no matter how strong these people are.”

“Then what do you say we do?” Xiao Yun glared at him, annoyed. “Must we create a new test? The small testing world is already gone!”

“In any case, we cannot let them join us so easily. What’s more, they were spotted by you.”

“Would you-”

Seeing that the two of them were arguing heatedly, the person beside them spoke up. “Stop it, Boss is here!”

Both of their expressions changed as they fell silent at once. The next thing they knew, they felt a unique suppressive force that was stronger than ordinary managers. Even Lonemoon and Yi Qing paused and instinctively turned to their right.

The space on their right began to twist and turn. A man in black robes appeared. His robes stretched to the ground, and on it were embroidered flowers of du colours. His long hair floated along behind him. Both of his eyebrows were sharp and he looked exceptionally eye-catching. He was much more attractive than Radish was in human form. However, there was a clear iciness about him. There was no doubt that the suppression they felt earlier was coming from him.

This must be the Boss Yu Heng that they were referring to. Lonemoon and Yi QIng straightened their backs and kept on guard. This was no ordinary manager.

“Greetings, Boss!” The 16 people present bowed toward him one by one. They treated this colleague of theirs not just with respect but with… fear?

“What are you arguing about?” Yu Heng asked.

Xiao Yun’s expression changed. She took a step forward and explained, “Boss, there has been a problem with the two managers that we just invited. They came here without going through the test. At the same time, the small testing world is missing so we can’t send them back there to take the test, so-”

“What went wrong?” Yu Heng interrupted her.

Xiao Yun’s face drained of colour. She handed the red ribbon over to him and said, “Boss, it’s my mistake. I tied the wrong transmission coordinates into the ribbon. I accept whatever punishment you might give to me.”

Yu Heng took one look at the ribbon and his expression hardened slightly. He asked, “What do you plan to do?”

Xiao Yun hesitated before answering, “Their skills are quite satisfactory…” She explained the story about the white flowers.

“Rules are rules!” Tu Zhi suddenly charged forward and interrupted. “Boss, people who have not passed the test cannot join the Big Dao Organization. We cannot rewrite these rules, otherwise we’ll start accepting just any person!”

“We can’t send them back, can we?”

“Back?” Tu Zhi laughed icily. He looked at the people in the middle with pure evil. “What would we send them back for? Have we ever sent managers who have failed to join our organization back?”

Xiao Yun paused, as if realising what he was saying. “You mean-”

“They messed up our rules. Of course they have to pay the price.” Tu Zhi’s eyes twinkled as he looked at Lonemoon and Yi Qing. “In any case, their planes are not that important – they’re newly formed. These two peoples powers can be used to nurture the water body outside, so that our members can become stronger. Wouldn’t that be a better use of them?”
