I Can Give Talent

Chapter 158 – Misunderstandings

While they were talking with Anda, Leyvi shrunk the airship and stored it in his internal storage room. Most airships were designed to shrink themselves by rearranging their structure so that they wouldn't occupy too much space in a space bag or a space ring.

"Eh? Where are the guests from the Goldstone Family?" Sect Master Gunung asked after seeing Leyvi store the airship away. Don't tell me they robbed the Goldstone Family. No, no, no. That's impossible. Gunung shook his head.

The next moment, Selene stepped forward and began introducing herself. "Sect Master, my name is Selene Goldstone. I am the daughter of the Goldstone Family's current patriarch." She took out her family emblem as proof of her identity.

"Hahaha, so it's Young Lady Selene. Welcome, welcome. Everybody, please come inside first. Elder Merah, please bring them to the Guest Hall and prepare some feast for our guests." Gunung instructed.

Elder Merah was the Guest Reception Elder of the Mountain Dew Sect. She was an old lady in the middle stage of the Core Formation realm and preferred to wear all red.

Elder Merah nodded. "Everyone, please follow me."

Along the way, the sect disciples gathered and scrutinized Leyvi and the group after they received the news that Anda, the Champion of Alchemy Competition, had returned. Although Anda was quite well known when she became Elder Vivian's disciple in the past, most people in the sect had never seen her personally. They only heard news about her from other people.

"Is that her? I can see why they call her Alchemist Panda."

"I heard last time that she's already married. That guy must be the husband, right? Sigh, we missed our chances of getting a genius alchemist as a wife."

"Who are the other people with her? A few of them wear some fancy clothing."

"Maybe they are her followers? She is a big shot now, after all."

"Not necessarily. I heard she returned with the people from the Goldstone Family."

"Really? Is she going to join them now? That's not good for us, right? Poaching our genius alchemist. They are treating our small sect like nothing."

Dorin's eyes shined when she saw a few handsome men among the onlookers. Maybe she could turn them into her followers. She felt bored if there was no one flattering her. So, she decided to approach them.

Suddenly, she had a pained expression when a delicate hand rested on her shoulder and gripped it. Ouch, ouch. It hurts. So strong!

"Dorin, behave yourself. None of your usual activities will be allowed when you are with us," Ava reminded her. She had taken it upon herself to be Dorin's watcher. If Dorin misbehaved, she would have an excuse to beat someone.

Soon, they were sitting in the guest hall, and multiple dishes were served to them.

"Hahaha, everyone, please try the dishes. They were made of fresh ingredients straight from the mountains." Sect Master Gunung invited with a smile.

However, he sighed inwardly. Could they even reject if the Goldstone Family wanted to recruit Anda? Now he could only hope their sect would receive some benefits from it.

"Hmph, it's just so-so." Dorin put down the cutlery after tasting some dishes. After consuming Tasya's food for two weeks, everything else tasted mediocre for her now.

Sect Master Gunung felt embarrassed. "Uhh...this young lady is?" Aside from Selene, he still didn't know the other guests. She should be a Goldstone too, right?

"Hmph, this young lady is Dorin Homun, from the Homun Family. My father is the current patriarch." Dorin proudly held the Homun Family emblem high up.

"What? The Homun Family?" Sect Master Gunung and the other Sect Elders were shocked when they heard that a representative from the Homun Family was here too.

Dorin smiled in satisfaction when she saw their reactions. She could finally let out some steam by acting arrogant.

Leyvi and the rest rolled their eyes when they saw Dorin successfully pull off her usual arrogant young lady act.

"Forgive us for not knowing Young Lady Dorin's identity earlier." Gunung apologized. Then he turned to Ava, the other young lady beside Selene and Dorin, who wore exquisite dresses, which indicates they came from prestigious backgrounds. "And this young lady is?"

"Ava Clover, from the Clover Family. I'm the younger sister of the current patriarch." Ava introduced herself with elegance. An emblem of the Clover Family appeared on her palm.

Sect Master Gunung and the Sect Elders present were dumbfounded by the revelation as the atmosphere in the hall tensed.

What is going on? All three famous alchemy families sent their representatives to visit us, and each has a direct blood relation to their current patriarch. Are they going to fight for Anda? What should we do if the other two parties that failed to recruit got angry at their sect?

Anda silently giggled. Although the current situation was just a coincidence and she didn't intend for it to happen, she found it very amusing. The sight of people misunderstanding a situation was always funny to watch.

Leyvi, who was beside Anda, had been secretly communicating with her all this time, so he was naturally aware of the drama as well.

Sect Master Gunung took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Although he knew their intentions for coming here, the situation would not get better even if he tried to delay it. So, he might as well get it over and done with.

"Ahem, may I ask are the three young ladies here to recruit Alchemist Anda?" Gunung posed the question.

Selene was stunned. Huh? Did they misunderstand something? It wasn't just Selene, Ava also realized what had actually happened. No wonder the atmosphere was a bit too tense for no reason.

Only Dorin had no clue what was happening. What is this old man talking about? Why would I recruit that scary girl? I want to recruit those handsome men out there.

Selene glanced at Leyvi and Anda and saw them holding back their laughter, obviously treating this misunderstanding as entertainment. Selene shook her head and smiled. These two were too playful.

"Sect Master, I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here. I'm not here to recruit anyone. I'm just here following my husband." Selene cleared the misunderstanding.

"Hus....band? Who?" Sect Master Gunung was not sure what was happening anymore. His demeanor as a sect master has long gone. He looked like a clueless kid.

Gunung gathered his brain cells again and observed them. It couldn't be that old man. It couldn't be that kid either. Don't tell me, Anda's husband? Gunung pointed his finger at Leyvi while looking at Selene, expecting an answer.

When Selene nodded with a smile, Gunung and the other elder's heads exploded. Not literally.

How could he not be mind-blown by this revelation? This situation was even more outrageous than the three famous alchemy families coming here to recruit Anda!

Wait a minute, don't tell me.....

Gunung turned to Ava and asked. "Lady Ava, are you also perhaps....his wife?"

"That's right, I just married him," Ava admitted, even though she wasn't too happy about it.

Gunung and the elders were speechless. They couldn't figure out how this situation managed to play out, no matter what. Were they in a dream? A Foundation Building young man from their sect successfully married two ladies from the most powerful families in the South Region. Who wrote this script?

Hang on! There's another person!

"Young Lady Dorin, are you his wife, too?" Gunung spoke clearly again. Nothing would shock him anymore!

"Huh? No. Why would I become his wife? I just don't want to go home. So I joined them to play until the dream ends." Dorin denied.

Gunung and the others were finally relieved. If all three of them were Leyvi's wives, they might start to doubt reality. Then, does that mean nobody was poaching Anda from their sect?

Anda finally stopped giggling. Since the misunderstanding drama had ended, it was time to inform them of Leyvi and her intention.

"Sect Master, while we are all here, I would like to tell you that my husband and I have established a cultivation family and we will be residing in Bara City from now on." Anda paused, waiting for their reactions.

Gunung didn't feel surprised or mad. He just let out a long sigh, shaking his head. "In the end, we still couldn't keep you."

Some elders wanted to object, but Gunung stopped them. He was well aware that his sect wouldn't be able to nurture a monstrous talent like her, so it was better to part on a good term.

"Very well then. If that's the case, will it be fine if you become the Mountain Dew Sect's Honorary Elder? At least let us brag and promote our sect by using your reputation. Hahaha!" After letting it go, Gunung's emotions turned for the better.

Anda's achievement as an alchemist in the future would certainly be outstanding. After all, most of the past champions had become prominent figures in the alchemy world. So, having a good relationship with her would still benefit the sect.

Anda smiled. She felt satisfied with their response. She always felt that the Mountain Dew Sect was a good sect, but seeing the upper echelon didn't try to make it hard for her, it reinforced her feelings even more.

Anda took out the contract she made with the Pill Ascension Sect and handed it over to Sect Master Gunung.
