New Earth- A World Of Chaos 31 Bright Sun

"Sister Beibei, you are finally back! I heard that you were being chased by the Gem Family, is everything alright?"

A beautiful blond priest stood up from one of the nearby tables and immediately approached Sun Rose while she was holding the door open. She was brightly smiling as she greeted her close friend.

"Sister Cai Die! Yes, everything is fine. It's all thanks to him, if he wasn't there, I would have probably died to these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds," answered Sun Rose as she turned to the girl and brightly smiled back.

Immediately, the attention of the entire inn turned towards the 2 girls. The surroundings seemed to lose color as the 2 beauties were cheerfully grabbing all the attention. They were both well known within the Fleeting Clouds Sect as being part of the top ten beauties of the sect, both of them were proposed countless times, especially Sun Rose as in addition to her beauty, she also had the status of the young mistress of the Liu Family.

Unaware of the situation, Li Wei walked in and looked around, he suddenly froze as he saw the owner of that voice.

"It's you! "

"It's you! "

Li Wei and the person named Cai Die exclaimed at the same time.

"Hmmp! You! You did not expect that we would meet again so soon, huh? You did not even accept my friend request and left without saying anything! " pouted the girl.

Li Wei was surprised when he saw her, the last time he met her, he only considered her as a pa.s.serby but who would have known that he would meet her again. Cai Die actually turned out to be Bright Sun, the player who invited Li Wei yesterday to her guild, Avalanche. He could not help but feel shameful as he had avoided her to avoid directly rejecting joining her guild.

"Huh? You two know each other? " asked Sun Rose with a surprised expression.

"Ehh This... We met once before..." started Li Wei, but he was immediately cut by Bright Sun.

"Sister Beibei, he is just guy I told you about earlier, the one who cleared the 14th floor of the Tower of Heroes. "

"What? You actually cleared the 14th floor?!? " exclaimed Sun Rose with a shocked expression. She herself only cleared up to the 12th floor, but that was because she was a mage, early games were naturally dominated by non-skill reliant cla.s.ses. However, as far as she was aware, the furthest the members of the Fleeting Clouds Sect's strongest members were able to reach was only the 14th floor without clearing it.

While Sun Rose was still looking at Li Wei with surprise, the latter did not know what to say, he made an apologetic face and bow at Bright Sun. "Ehh I am sorry I was really busy about things, I could not..."

"What is happening there?!?"

Li Wei was once again interrupted as a burly young man stood up from a side table and looked at the trio.

"Nothing nothing! We are just old-time friends that have not seen each other for years," quickly explained Sun Rose as she grabbed Li Wei's and Bright Sun's wrist, dragging them into the inn.

Li Wei was suddenly surprised as he felt Sun Rose's soft hand grab him, he felt even more embarra.s.sed as he was being dragged along by her. He looked apologetically at the man who just stood up, nodded and quickly followed behind Sun Rose.

The burly man did not say anything but as the trio disappeared in one of the rooms of the inn, one of his companions grabbed his shoulder and asked:

"What is it, brother? Who is that plebeian that miss Liu brought back? Did you hear something important? "

"Mmmm I am not sure, but if I heard correctly, that guy might have cleared the 14th floor of the Tower of Heroes... Things might get interesting, go inform master Li."

"The 14th floor? Very interesting, let's inform young master w.a.n.g too!" answered the man as he proceeded towards the exit.

...

Li Wei was brought into what looked like an empty meeting room. He was pushed by Sun Rose into a sofa and before he could say anything, Sun Rose was already moving back towards the door.

"Give me a minute, I will bring the contract. And sister Cai Die, don't take advantage of my absence! " said Sun Rose as she quickly closed the door behind her.

'Ahhh! So much trouble... Why did I choose to come here....' said Li Wei inwardly, he just wanted to join the guild, why did he have to meet Bright Sun there?

Li Wei awkwardly looked at Bright Sun, not knowing how to initiate the conversation. But the latter just giggled. She took off her priest hat and sat on a sofa in front of Li Wei. He did not notice it before since she was wearing battle clothes but in her current attire, he had to admit that Bright Sun was also a beauty. Only slightly losing to Sun Rose when it came to her figure, but her flawless face and blond hair gave her a totally different charm from Sun Rose.

Li Wei quickly got himself together and was about to speak when Bright Sun quietly coughed twice to attract his attention. She crossed her long white legs and looked straight into Li Wei's eyes before speaking:

"Do not worry, I can understand that Avalanche did not look very appealing to you at that time. But you should know that Avalanche can be considered to be a branch of the Fleeting Clouds Sect. Actually, maybe Sun Rose won't give you a contract for the sect but rather for her family's guild."

Li Wei could only make an apologetic smile, inside, he was relieved to see that Bright Sun was dropping the matter. He quickly asked:

"A branch of the Fleeting Clouds Sect? I thought that politicians were very complex people but it turns out that the martial artists are even worse, then are you also a martial artist? "

Bright sun chuckled at the Li Wei's comment but chose to ignore that: "Yes I am also a martial artist, well I am one but not a talented one, compared to the geniuses like Beibei, I would not even dare to call myself one. This is why now, instead of joining the Fleeting Clouds Sect, I joined my family's guild, Avalanche. It might sound weird, but I do prefer the environment there, at least, I am far away from the possibility of conflicts."

"This, then does that mean that Avalanche also has their own techniques? Why did you not advertise them?" asked Li Wei.

"I was not supposed to recruit any players at the beginner's town, it's just that when I saw that you defeated the 14th floor, I could not let random guilds recruit you right? And well at that time I did not think it was necessary, after all, out of all the guilds that were at Little Root Town, I can say that Avalanche could be considered to be the best. To be honest, I thought that you would just immediately agree to join us, but it turns out that I was wrong," replied Bright Sun with an embarra.s.sed expression.

"But Now, I would like to reiterate my offer and of course I will chip in one of our techniques..."

While she was still speaking, Bright sun was suddenly cut short as Sun Rose barged into the room, "Cai Die, that is not fair! He wanted to join the Fleeting Clouds Sect! You should not steal him away! " exclaimed Sun Rose as she was panting. It was clear that she had rushed back there with her items.

"Are you not going to invite him to the Liu Family's Heavenly Garden? " teasingly said Bright Sun as she s.h.i.+fted her position in the sofa to look at Sun Rose.

"This... How did you know? Still, I was the one who brought him here!" pouted Sun Rose.

"It was so obvious from the way you rushed out of the room," answered Bright Sun as she chuckled, she quickly added: "But I was the first one to invite him, I already did yesterday..."

'Ahhh Did they already forget that I am here...' thought Li Wei, although he liked to stay low key, was his presence so weak what the 2 girls already forgot about him? He was rather shy when it came to the opposite s.e.x, having lived at an orphanage and spent most of his time on games or studying at an all-boys school. Now that there were two beauties arguing in front of him, he could not help but be overwhelmed and hesitate to react.

Li Wei who was witnessing the 2 girls arguing found the scene rather funny it was like looking at 2 adolescents argue over pointless things. But still, although he was inwardly smiling as the 2 girls were fighting for him, he was depressed to see that they were basically ignoring his opinion.

"Hey! Can I say something? I think that I should be the one to decide which guild to join right?" interjected Li Wei as the 2 were still arguing.

As they heard him speaking, the 2 girls stopped their discussion and turned their attention to him.

"Naturally, we were just discussing…"

"Yes! You are right, you are the one who would be joining the guild after all! I apologize for our behavior. Please don't get a bad opinion of us! Sister Beibei and I often argue with each other, but we are in fact very close to each other." quickly said Bright Sun while making a short bow followed by an apologetic smile.

Sun Rose also redressed herself and nodded to Bright Sun.

"So Seven, which guild do you want to join? Avalanche or Heavenly Garden?" asked both girls at the same time as they looked to Li Wei who was still seated on the sofa.

The latter took a second to react. He did not know what sort of feat it was to defeat the 14th floor of the Tower of heroes and so did not understand why the two girls were behaving like that. But still, he chose to remain silent most of the time, only expressing himself as he saw the 2 girls endlessly arguing. After all, right now, he was a guest of the Fleeting Clouds Sect and needed to behave himself but in the inside, he was cursing himself for getting entangled with these 2 girls.

"I only came here for the Fleeting Clouds Sect! I am only interested in the techniques that they offer, nothing else!" said Li Wei as he agitated his hands showing his powerlessness.

"This is fine, joining one of our guilds or the Fleeting Clouds Sect is the same, we are all allies. These are the technique that the Liu family offers and here is the contract, you can check the terms and if you are satisfied we can sign it." quickly said, Sun Rose.

"Mmmm and here are the techniques that the Cai family has, as for the contract, we will also offer the same conditions as Heavenly Garden," added Bright Sun in a much calmer expression, although she was as old as Sun Rose, she was more matured as she was born in a branch family and suffered hards.h.i.+ps since birth.

Li Wei was overwhelmed by the 2 girls, the two were crossing their arms intently looking at him waiting to hear his decision.

He sighed as he took a look at the doc.u.ments in front of him. The 2 guilds were offering 15 golds and a grade 0 equipment, but that was not the interesting part, he took the attached doc.u.ment and started browsing through the techniques they proposed.

"How will I actually acquire the skills?" asked Li Wei.

"After you choose the technique you want, we will give you a training manual. You will just have to train accordingly to obtain the technique," answered Sun Rose.

"Training manual? Then how did you obtain them?"

"That is our sect's secret! We can't tell you about it yet!" said Bright Sun.

Li Wei nodded and continued to browse through the techniques. But there were so many that he felt that it would take an eternity to read all of them, instead, he leaned back and asked the 2 girls:

"There are too many techniques, can you recommend me some of them?"

"Sure, what are you interested in? Offensive skills? Defensive ones? Or body training ones?" asked Bright Sun.

"mmm Right now, I would like one related to footwork, not necessarily movement speed, but good positioning."

"Right, you wanted something like my Soaring Snow Swan, although there is only the female version, we do have techniques adapted for males but they are weaker, for example, there is the Flowing Tree technique."

As he heard the name of the technique, Li Wei immediately turned the pages until he found it:

[Training technique: Flowing Tree]

Can be used once per day at the cost of 20% fatigue, effect:

Performs a series of training movements, after 10 series, reinforces the legs allowing the user to more easily bend and twist legs and develop the skill [Flowing Steps]

[Flowing Steps]: user stomps the ground for a rapid dash

"Is there a demo of the Flowing Steps? It would be easier for me to choose if I could see the skills that these techniques can develop," asked Li Wei as he read through the information.

"Unfortunately no, n.o.body made any records of themselves using this technique and it is not a very popular one," answered Sun Rose.

"Of course it's not, it is one of the weakest movement techniques, only the Liu family's female techniques can decently improve your footwork." proudly added Bright Sun.

"Look at this, this is my Cai family's technique," said the young priest as she pointed out a page in the doc.u.ment she showed Li Wei.

[Training technique: Gliding Steps]

Can be used once per day at the cost of 20% fatigue, effect:

Performs a series of training movements, after 10 series, reinforces the legs, increases movement speed by 2% and develop the skill [Gliding Steps]

[Gliding Steps]: user can glide on the ground for one second.
