Chapter 1308 Second Part of the Exile Recruitment


    "You decided to disguise as your elder sister…? Now that I think about it, I don''t know anything about your family." Yuan said after a moment of silence.


    "My family is very boring. They spend all of their time cultivating, rarely ever stepping outside their room. It''s normal to see each other once every few hundred years." Xiao Hua calmly said.


    "Hundreds of years…? How old are you really, Xiao Hua?" Yuan couldn''t help but ask her.


    "..."


    Since it wasn''t her own face, Xiao Hua actually looked quite threatening when she frowned.


    "N-Nevermind…" Yuan decided not to question her further.


    However, to his surprise, Xiao Hua responded, "I don''t know."


    "You mean you are so old that you don''t remember your own age?" Yuan was speechless after hearing this.


    "N-No!" Xiao Hua quickly rejected such an outrageous im, and she continued, "My memories only go up to a certain point and most of my oldest memories are missing."


    "Eh? Really?" This was Yuan''s first time hearing such a thing from her.


    "I only began recalling my memories shortly after we entered the Second Heaven. I also gained some more memories when we entered the Third Heaven, so I think that ascending the Nine Heavens has something to do with my memories." Xiao Hua exined.


    As for why she hadn''t spoken of this subject earlier, it was merely due to the absence of an opportune moment for discussion.


    "And you didn''t know about any of this before?" Yuan asked.


    Xiao Hua shook her head.


    "Then do you remember why you were in that area when we first met? Surely, it wasn''t your family''s backyard as you had imed, right?" Yuan recalled their first meeting and asked.


    "I wasn''t lying." Xiao Hua shook her head and continued to exin, "That area really belonged to my family—at least my memories told me so."


    After a moment of silence, Xiao Hua looked at Yuan with a worried expression and said, "Brother Yuan… If I… If Xiao Hua regains her memories and bes someone different, you can abandon her. I won''t me you."


    Despite her words, a calm smile appeared on Yuan''s face, and he quickly said, "I won''t do that. No matter who you be in the future, fate brought us together for a reason. Unless you decide to walk away yourself, I won''t leave you."


    "Brother Yuan…" Xiao Hua''s face flushed with redness.


    Yuan then said, "If anything, I should be saying that to you. After all, I am also in the process of regaining my memories. If I be someone you no longer want to follow, I won''t me you for leaving."


    "T-That won''t happen!" Xiao Hua immediately said with a firm expression on her face.


    "I believe you." Yuan chuckled.


    "Anyways, we''re at our destination. Here, Xiao Hua." Yuan showed her the old jade mask he wore and continued, "Just in case the Exiles recognize your sister''s face."


    Once Xiao Hua wore the mask, he continued, "I will be right back. Wait here for a few minutes."


    "Okay."


    Yuan logged off the next moment and called the phone number he received before.


    "Is this Xiao Yang?!" A nervous voice asked the moment the line connected.


    It was David''s voice.


    "Yes, it''s me."


    "Thank god! I thought you''d decided not to join us when you didn''t contact us for so long!" David said, revealing the reason for his anxiousness.


    Yuan then said, "I''m really sorry it took this long, but something came up and I had to deal with that beforeing. Anyways, I am at the location you gave me."


    "Don''t worry about it! The second part of the recruitment will begin shortly. Just sit tight and wait for our people to arrive."


    "I understand."


    Yuan returned to Cultivation Online after hanging up. Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Now we wait." Yuan said to Xiao Hua.


    He also made sure to suppress his aura all the way to Spirit Grandmaster. About twenty minutester, Yuan could sense two individuals approaching their direction from a distance.


    One of these individuals had the aura of a Spirit Master while the other individual exuded the aura of a peak Spirit King. It was obviously a yer and their Exile.


    However, for some reason, these two individuals did not show themselves and watched Yuan and Xiao Hua from a distance.


    Yuan didn''t try calling out to them and patiently waited for them to do their thing.


    "Hu Kaize, do you sense the aura of an Exileing from either of them?" A young man asked the tall, bulky man beside him.


    After a moment of silence, Hu Kaize spoke, "That tall woman beside him—she''s definitely an Exile."


    "What about that man beside her? What''s his cultivation?"


    Hu Kaize narrowed his eyes at Yuan and said, "Judging by his aura, he should be around Spirit Grandmaster. However, there''s something strange about him. It''s almost like he has more power than what''s being revealed."


    "I see… Why''s that woman wearing a mask, though? Doesn''t that seem suspicious to you?" The young man asked another question.


    "No, not at all. Considering that she''s an Exile, she''s wearing a mask most likely because she was only recently sent to the Primordial Realm, so she doesn''t want anyone to recognize her. As for the rest of us, we''ve been in the Primordial Realm for so long that we don''t have to worry about anyone recognizing us—at least not in this kind of lowly ce."


    "I see."


    Once they confirmed Yuan and Xiao Hua''s identity through the information provided by David, the young man and his Exile finally came out of hiding and showed themselves to Yuan and Xiao Hua.


    "Are you Xiao Yang?" The young man asked.


    Yuan nodded, "You must be the recruiter for the second part of the recruitment."


    "Not quite, and you''ve already passed the second part when we confirmed that you had an Exile with you."


    "My name is Dazzling Sword, nice to meet you." The young man introduced himself, but he only revealed his character''s name.
