Chapter 457 - Chairman Zhao (1/2)
”S-Sorry, I spaced out…” The bulky man said in a still dazed voice.
”You have passed the cultivation test.”
Meixiu nodded and stood up.
”If you don't mind me asking, what cultivation base have you achieved?” The bulky man suddenly asked her.
”Ninth Level Spirit Apprentice,” Meixiu responded in a calm voice.
”N-Ninth level!” The bulky man trembled upon hearing this.
”Is there anything else?” Meixiu then asked him.
”N-No…” he quickly shook his head.
However, just as Meixiu started walking back to Yuan, a loud voice suddenly resounded, causing everyone to turn to look at the source.
”Wait a second, young lady!”
At the end of the hall, an old man followed by four other individuals could be seen approaching them in a hurry.
”C-Chairman!” The bulky man exclaimed when he saw this old man, and he quickly lowered his head to bow.
'Who?' Meixiu wondered inwardly as they approached her.
”Hello, young lady. My name is Zhao Zheng, and I am the chairman of the Cultivators' Association. I saw your cultivation just now, and it left me in awe. Can I get your name?”
”Meixiu,” she responded.
”Then, Lady Meixiu, would you like to join my Cultivators' Association? We are currently in need of talented cultivators, and you're exactly what we are looking for. If you join us, we can guarantee you a Heaven-grade cultivation technique, and when we acquire a Divine-grade cultivation technique in the future, you will also get to practice it.” Zhao Zheng said, trying to recruit Meixiu into the Cultivators' Association.
However, Meixiu quickly shook her head and said, ”Thank you for the offer, but I do not wish to join the Cultivators' Association.”
The spectators were shocked when Meixiu refused Zhao Zheng's offer so casually. Many of them had plans to join the Cultivators' Association after this, so when they saw Meixiu getting recruited by the chairman of the association, they were overwhelmed with jealousy.
”What! The chairman himself personally invited you to join the Cultivators' Association and you dare refuse?! Know your place!” One of the figures standing behind Zhao Zheng suddenly exclaimed.
Another one then said, ”You may have some talents in cultivation, but without a proper cultivation technique, you can only go so far. However, if you join us, we can guarantee you a limitless future.”
Despite their words, Meixiu remained calm and said, ”I refuse.”
”You—!”
”Stop.” Zhao Zheng suddenly interrupted.
Once there was silence, he continued, ”Can you at least tell me why you're refusing my offer? Are you already part of another power? Or do you have something against our association?”
”I have nothing against the association. My hands are already fully occupied with other matters, and I'm not interested in the Cultivators' Association in general.” Meixiu said.
”Other matters? There's nothing my association cannot solve. If you join us, we'll help you with whatever you're occupied with.” Zhao Zheng wasn't willing to give up someone as talented as Meixiu so easily.
Hearing his words, Meixiu smiled and said, ”No thank you. I enjoy what I am doing, and I will continue doing it until I am no longer needed.”
”What a pity.” Zhao Zheng shook his head.
He then said, ”Well, if you ever decide to change your mind, my Cultivators' Association will always have its doors opened for you.”
