It must be said that Zhou Qi is indeed exceptionally talented in winning people over; he quickly brought back many interested individuals for Dongfang Mian to screen.
However, most people came with the intention of getting resources, so they were quickly eliminated. Only two people remained in Dongfangmian, a brother and sister from the Cheng family, a prominent family in the God Realm. They are now students at the Flower God Academy, with the sister in the Hundred Flowers Academy and the brother in the Luoyuan Academy.
"The Cheng family is supposed to be a fairly large family, so why did you two come out and join these small forces?" Dongfang Mian asked. It was rare to see scions of a prominent family like the Cheng siblings in the South City Market. It was Zhou Qi's silver tongue that had managed to persuade the two of them to come to Dongfang Mian.
"I want to prove that I am not some pampered young lady who relies on her family. My own strength is enough for me to stand on my own feet in the God Realm. I want to show those people in the Cheng family that I can do it without them at all," said the younger sister, Cheng Zhiyao, speaking in the tone of a young lady.
Dongfang Mian nodded, then looked at her brother Cheng Zhishuo, "And what about you?"
"I'm just keeping my sister company," Cheng Zhishuo replied aloofly, his eyes filled with wariness towards Dongfang Mian.
"I heard you are the core direct bloodline of the Cheng family. Is it really okay to do this?" Dongfang Mian asked. Although the Cheng family was just a speck of sand compared to the Qianxun family, Dongfang Mian, who had just arrived in the God Realm, was still unwilling to cause any unnecessary trouble.
"Don't worry, there's no problem. My mother has agreed, and my father won't object. But this Crimson Silver Sect of yours looks so small. Do you have that many resources? Let me tell you, my brother is a genius that our Cheng family has only seen once in a hundred years. If it weren't for..." Cheng Zhiyao kept talking.
"Yao'er!" Cheng Zhishuo frowned and stopped his sister when she started talking about her.
"Alright," Cheng Zhiyao said helplessly, spreading her hands. "Then I'll just say it's me. I'm a genius who is a master of array formation, alchemy, and weapon crafting. I won't just join any small force. You, as the sect leader, need to show us some real skills. We don't lack resources. As long as you can help us improve our strength, we'll join."
People like the Cheng siblings are rare in the South City Market, but being rare doesn't mean being popular. Many forces are unwilling to cultivate the offspring of large families. Firstly, their resources and foundations are not as good as those of large families, and secondly, disciples from aristocratic families generally do not have much loyalty to the small forces they join. It is very likely that their efforts to cultivate them will end up being in vain.
But Dongfang Mian is different. Her principle for hiring people is simply that she finds them pleasing to the eye. As for the Cheng siblings, although they now have a superior sense of aristocratic scions, Dongfang Mian just finds them pleasing to the eye.
So she looked at Cheng Zhiyao and smiled, "If you want to know my strength, come with me."
After saying that, Dongfang Mian wanted to take Cheng Zhiyao to a secluded corner, but Cheng Zhishuo stopped her with a wary look on his face. "What do you want to do to my sister?"
"What can a woman like me do to her? Isn't it about seeing my strength? What? You don't even dare to do this?" Dongfang Mian raised an eyebrow.
“Who says I wouldn’t dare? Let’s make this clear first: if you dare to mess with me, I’ll definitely have my brother teach you a lesson,” Cheng Zhiyao quickly said.
Dongfang Mian smiled but said nothing, and disappeared from everyone's sight with her.
"What abilities does your sect leader possess?" Cheng Zhishuo asked Zhou Qi, who was standing to the side.
"I don't know," Zhou Qi honestly shook his head. How would he know these things? All he knew was that the sect leader was rich.
