"This is a surprise indeed!" Twilight Moon heard the boy's arrogant words and she was not at all puzzled about it.
Although some of the child's words were pretty much alien to her ears but those were easily ignored in comparison to the immediate course of action that she wanted to do at this very moment.
Her brown eyes flashed into muted golden radiance and same as her previous attempts, she could still not read the child's past, present and future.
It appeared that Young Master Clark was there with them but at the same time, everything about him was filled with the shroud of mystery.
Inscrutable like an Eternal Enigma. Twilight Moon clearly remembered the last time that she was faced with this same exact inexplicable paradox from before.
And she did not like that this boy had made her recall something that she had wanted to forget in the long years of her existence.
"It seems like you were expecting us, Young Master Clark."
Twilight Moon was the first one to react and the three dark personas from behind her also took this moment to drop the veil of darkness that covered their forms entirely.
One beast, one woman, and the last was a very evil man.
"THRUM!" The murky room blossomed in the blinding brilliance of three different auras.
The spiritual presence of the three alone birthed countless runes and ancient symbols which scattered all over the place to prevent the unwanted prying of others from outside the four corners of this room.
The only one who acted as if she needed nothing of such precautions was Twilight Moon in front of them.
Even so, the lavender fairy dress on her diminutive body rippled like water in the windless air of the chambers.
"I had a hunch that you would come. So why are you all here?"
Clark asked as his form floated to meet his uninvited guests eye to eye. At 6 foot 5 inches in height, he would of course look down at the little girl who reached only 4 foot tall before him.
But the same could not be said to her other partners at all.
The trio were perhaps at least 10 foot tall at first glance. But the contrast in height has not at all bothered our good gamer.
In his eyes, these four were nothing but kids before his overpowered self.
'Old kids that may have already lived for billions of years more than me.'
Clark corrected within and if he was to be frank about it, he was quite very interested in forming a good relationship with people who had lived this long in life.
'The stories of their lives would have amounted to thousands of web novels back in my home world!'
Our good protagonist almost smiled at the thought but he put a halt to it before the smile could completely form on his face.
'I'm already a Senior Immortal to these children already so I better act my part to its fullest!'
With this clear determination in mind, Clark ended up crossing his arms on his chest to show an absolute stance of dominance over his visitors.
He did not have to wait long for his guests to announce what they have come here to do in the first place.
"I am Daoist Twilight Moon of Maiden Dream Sect. Will you accept to become my student, Young Master Clark?"
The little girl asked and it was pretty apparent how highly she thought of our bored gamer.
It could be seen from her words alone that she was still not that comfortable around the cover of mystique on Young Master Clark's identity and so willingly took the path of least resistance.
Twilight Moon flattered our great protagonist and was not at all ashamed in doing so.
Alas, the other True Immortals behind her was also not that stupid to miss the hint from Twilight Moon's words.
"You can call me Daoist Crazy Monkey, Young Master Clark. Please join our Celestial Beast Sect!
We can give you anything you want and would provide all the cultivation resources until you can finally reach your full potential and become one like us! True Immortals!"
Daoist Crazy Monkey knew how to play with words and that was what he did.
He may appear like a monkey king but that has not at all diminished how shrewd he could be when it comes to something that would benefit him and his Legion of Monsters.
"Well met, Young Master Clark. I'm Daoist Snow Frost. I come from the Floating Cloud Sect. We represent all that is good and just in this realm.
If you want to uphold justice and smite the face of evil from these lands, you are most welcome to be a part of our righteous cause!" Snow Frost invited with a beautiful smile on her face.
She was absolutely stunning and the pure white robes on her sexy body has only ever accentuated the treasures that were veiled from within its tight confines.
She was none other than Song Wen to which Daoist Twilight Moon has named previously outside.
"Daoist Black Flame. I invite you to the Eternal Darkness Sect." A handsome man with irresistible charisma offered last.
Even if he just stood there calmly and has not done anything in his impotent posture but the unmistakable evil smell exuded outrageously from his person in an endless wave of subtle pressure.
And the ever radiant crimson on top of this man's head was definitely a big tell of how free and careless this man had lived his life in this world.
'This man is one big motherfucker!' Clark could not help but exclaim inside.
The tag overhead was not only the bloodiest red he had ever seen so far in this xianxia world but it was also the biggest of them all to date.
Usually, each tag would have been only the size of one basketball but the one above Daoist Black Flame's head was at least five times to that of the normal scale.
'Should i kill this man to get vengeance for all the lives and properties he had destroyed in his lifetime?'
Our good gamer mused for a few breaths before he decided on what he wanted to do eventually.
'Nahhh... As long as he doesn't provoke me and do bad things in front of my eyes then I should not meddle also in his affairs.'
Clark determined and once more, raked his eyes on the four True Immortals that have graced his presence tonight. His very first meeting with this kind of ageless cultivator.
He would have wanted to ask how their lives had been and make an impromptu interview for further research but alas, doing that now would be too awkward at best.
In the end, Clark took a deep breath before answering what these old goats wanted to hear from himself. He lowered his cocky stance and wore his usual facade once more.�
"I am flattered by the offer, my True Immortal Seniors but... I already have a master of my own.
And I don't think that it is proper for me to just throw him away after I find someone better to replace him.
So I could only respectfully decline the good graces of your Immortal Sects for now." Clark said as gently as he could.
"Please reconsider, Young Master Clark! Even if you already have a master, it is only natural for one as talented as you to have two or more masters."
Daoist Crazy Monkey tried to convince our protagonist.
He was not about to give up now especially knowing that amongst the four Immortal Influences present tonight, his sect was the weakest and so would also gain the most should he successfully invite Young Master Clark unto their fold.
The Celestial Beast Sect would no doubt get stronger with this new recruit.
"I apologize, Senior Crazy Monkey. As you can see, I'm just a powerless 4th Stage Mortal Shedding Realm. I don't deserve your kind words at all." Clark shook his head in fake humility.
He was waiting for when his open bluff to get called and yes, only one breath had elapsed for someone to grant him this expected response also.
"You must be joking, Young Master Clark. We all could see that you have only used some kind of treasure to conceal your real cultivation.
You are not a 4th Stage Mortal Shedding Realm at all but is already at the 9th Stage of the Aspirant Realm." It was Daoist Snow Frost who humored our bored gamer's obvious jest.
She and the rest of her fellow True Immortals were all looking at Young Master Clark's nether regions at the moment.
"Hehehe. It was a foolish attempt of mine to dare trick the seasoned eyes of my Seniors. Please... you can look away now. Or at least point your eyes somewhere else other than down there."
Clark forced a laugh out and had to cover his loins with both his hands in shame.
'DAMN! I totally forgot about this cloaking device. I should find another place for it later on.' Our good gamer settled for a wise plan of action after his 2 visits on this fated night.
"So what will it be, Young Master Clark? I should let you know that amongst us here tonight, I can honestly say that these three are very much inferior to my Handsome Self.
They would even occasionally call me Father if I wanted them t..." Twilight Moon halted in mid speech. She looked to the left and then to the right.
Next at her feet and lastly in the high ceiling overhead.
"What's wrong, Daoist Twilight Moon?" Crazy Monkey asked as he was also confused by the little girl's sudden actions right now.
"I feel that s..." Daoist Twilight Moon would have wanted to say more but alas, what came next had even caught someone like her unprepared.
"BOOM!"
