Chapter 2181: Chapter 2182: The Grand Ceremony Concludes (Second Update)
The Sword Cultivators’ performance in this battle was indeed remarkable, as they bravely faced the invading evil with their lives, winning precious respite for everyone.
As a result, the Sword Cultivators suffered heavy casualties. Take Ye Kongming for instance; among the once numerous disciples fond of luxury, he is the only one left now.
Qiu Yuye is the sole survivor on the leaderboard except for Li Jingxing.
Thus, Qiu Yuye and Ye Kongming can be considered heroes.
"Sect Master!" The two bowed and saluted.
Xue An also showed respect and returned the gesture.
"Your contributions are truly outstanding and set an example for The Multiverse. Henceforth, you shall be the Chief Elders of the Red Lotus Immortal Sect, and enjoy perpetual offerings. Is it acceptable?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yuye remained composed.
Ye Kongming, however, burst into tears.
For having experienced this battle, his previously youthful arrogance had faded, and he’d learned much.
Especially after the passing of his grandfather Ye Bufan and the death of many companions in battle, he deeply understood the hard-won nature of victory.
So upon hearing Xue An’s words, he finally couldn’t control himself and cried loudly.
Yet, no one mocked him; instead, all looked at him with respect.
Because everyone knew exactly what those tears meant.
Xue An sighed lightly and then bestowed two Sword Intents personally.
After the two stepped back, Xue An continued to confer rewards.
In an instant, Xie Jingjing, Xiao Rui, Auntie Pang, Uncle Xie, An Ying, Yang Binyi, Qiao Le, Zhao Xuehui, Xue Lan, An Qing, Vast Righteous Academy, Qingyang Temple, and even the Magic Treasures Pavilion’s Fuling Qiuyi received their respective rewards.
Finally, when everyone thought there were no more honors to bestow, Xue An suddenly smiled.
"Zhang Tianyou, step forward and receive your reward!"
Who is Zhang Tianyou?
Upon hearing this name, many exchanged confused glances.
Even Zhang Tianyou himself hadn’t anticipated that Xue An would still remember him, but before he could react, the artificial intelligence Xinghuan unhesitatingly pushed him forward.
"Mr. Xue..." Zhang Tianyou bowed and said.
Xue An smiled slightly, "Zhang Tianyou, you possess a strong ability in mechanical creation. I appoint you as the Chief Engineer of the Red Lotus Immortal Sect. You must create a building that can be considered an architectural marvel. Can you do it?"
Zhang Tianyou never expected Xue An to entrust such an important mission to him. He was momentarily stunned and then nodded excitedly.
"Rest assured, Sect Master. As president of the Society for Technological Development, it is my unshirkable duty to take on this responsibility. I will strive with all my heart to create a miraculous building!"
Zhang Tianyou was so excited that he was almost incoherent.
Xue An nodded with a smile, then looked at Xinghuan who had pushed Zhang Tianyou forward.
"Xinghuan!"
"I am here!"
"As a top-tier artificial intelligence, your expertise should be data processing. I now entrust the entire data handling task of the Red Lotus Immortal Sect to you. Can you undertake it?"
"Of course, that’s not a problem!" Xinghuan replied nonchalantly.
"Excellent, then I shall now issue the first task!"
As he spoke, Xue An’s gaze swept across the faces of everyone present, finally settling on those eager young individuals. He smiled faintly.
"Now that the Red Lotus Immortal Sect’s framework is established, but to truly achieve the status of an unparalleled immortal sect, disciples are the foundation of everything. Therefore, I declare that from today onwards, the Red Lotus Immortal Sect’s gates are open wide to all who wish to join, regardless of background or race!"
"As for the specific assessment standards and recruitment, they will be handled by Xinghuan!"
Upon hearing this, the world erupted in excitement.
Countless young people rejoiced.
But many who wished to use connections to gain entry abandoned those thoughts upon hearing this.
Because the assessments would be managed by artificial intelligence.
How could one go about using connections or bribes?
One can’t possibly go up to Xinghuan and say, "I’ll give you a benefit, so please admit me!"
Wouldn’t that be like walking right into danger?
After all matters were settled, Xue An nodded slightly to everyone.
"The ceremony is concluded; let the celebration begin!"
As soon as the words fell, countless already-arranged fireworks shot into the sky, bursting in the firmament.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanying each explosion, dazzling fireworks filled the sky, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.
Whoever started it first, many people began to cheer vigorously.
"Red Lotus Immortal Sect!"
"Red Lotus Immortal Sect!"
The chanting grew louder and louder.
Yet, Xue An gracefully stepped aside, quietly vanishing from the crowd’s sight.
When he appeared again, he was atop the Number One Tian Villa in Beijiang.
At this moment, Yue Qinghuan was curled on the sofa, watching the live broadcast on TV with great interest.
When Xue An arrived, she lifted her eyes slightly, smiling brightly.
"Xue An, you’re really surprising me!"
Xue An didn’t speak, but walked to face her and slowly sat down.
Upon seeing him seated, a crafty gleam flashed in Yue Qinghuan’s eyes, and she unashamedly placed her long legs on the coffee table.
She wore a short skirt, and when her legs lifted, the hem fell, outlining an extraordinary curve.
Such a view could easily cause an ordinary person to hold their breath.
Yet Xue An seemed oblivious, not even blinking, simply saying softly:
"Oh? What’s so surprising?"
"Many, many things. For example, I didn’t expect you to have such boldness to organize the forces of The Multiverse and establish a sect! So..."
Yue Qinghuan suddenly sat up, propping her hands on the coffee table and leaning her head close to Xue An, licking her lips.
"I’m becoming more and more interested in you!"
Xue An gazed into Yue Qinghuan’s light purple eyes as his smile gradually spread, "Are you not afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?"
A gleam of achievement appeared in Yue Qinghuan’s eyes, but she soon sincerely said, "I may be playing with fire, but it’s you who’ll get burned, isn’t it?"
As she spoke, she extended a slender hand, reaching for Xue An’s cheek.
But as her hand reached halfway, it was blocked by an invisible force, and Xue An, seated before her, had vanished.
Yue Qinghuan blinked slightly, when at that moment, Xue An’s calm voice came from beside her.
"Stop playing tricks in front of me; your antics don’t affect me at all!"
Yue Qinghuan’s eyes showed a hint of annoyance, but soon turned into a pitiful expression.
"How do you know I’m playing tricks? What if I’m sincere? You..."
Her words were interrupted by sudden warmth at her ear.
This sensation tightened all her muscles, and her light purple eyes widened suddenly.
Meanwhile, Xue An’s voice sounded in her ear.
"What about now?"
