The Medallion novel Chapter 1907

"I have been traveling in pursuit of an opportunity to make a name for myself. When I heard that your clan was holding a spiritual root test that could ensure the entrance to the holy land of the spiritual race called the Ethereal Valley, I came here to try my luck," Rocky readily replied. Although he had made-up answers, they weren't entirely a lie.

The young master interviewed him some more, and Rocky calmly responded to all his queries.

When the young master had finished talking to him, he turned to Vivian and asked the same series of questions. She gladly answered each one just as well.

The young master looked surprised as he heard their stories. He then turned to glance at Vivian and Rocky and finally asked, "Are you both willing to join our clan?"

"It would be an absolute honor!" Rocky uttered sincerely.

Meanwhile, Vivian opted to nod in response instead.

"Very well. From now on, you are members of the Wankong Clan. As such, you must dedicate yourselves to our clan till the end of your lives. Bear that in mind, for our clan allows no betrayal." The young master made sure he was heard loud and clear as he made the declaration.

"Understood! Thank you, young master." Rocky made an obeisance by cupping his hands. It seemed that their plan went quite smoothly. The only thing that confused him at the moment was that neither the middle-level Spiritual Emperor nor the young master disclosed the level of his spiritual root to him or the public.

Of course, along with the other candidates, Rocky felt baffled. Nonetheless, since the young master had already announced his qualification, no one dared to raise a question.

"Now, both of you, come with me." The young master motioned for Rocky and Vivian to follow him.

Without a second thought, they went with him, leaving behind the other candidates who still gazed at each other in confusion.

Before long, they found that the young master had led them into a courtyard with two houses.

"As of today, this will be your home. Please stay in this yard and don't go anywhere else without my permission," the young master specified.

Rocky and Vivian promptly nodded in agreement.

After showing them to their quarters, the young master took his leave with his attendants. As he passed through the gate, two of his attendants stayed and stood guard.

Rocky and Vivian exchanged looks before they walked to check out the house.

Inside, a clean and well-furnished room came into view.

"It feels like we've been placed under house arrest. Do you think they figured out our true identities?" Vivian whispered worriedly.

"I don't think so. It's probably because of the outcome of my test that they're paying us special attention," Rocky replied thoughtfully.

"Well, what do you expect? Your talent always gets discovered wherever you go!" Vivian quickly teased.

"Anyway, let's get some rest first. I'm sure it won't take long before we figure out what they find so notable about me," Rocky returned with a confident smile.

He then took off and went to the other house.

Meanwhile, the young master hurried towards the hall where the members of the Wankong Clan held their daily meetings.

Upon his arrival at the hall, many people were already seated. Richard, the patriarch, sat in the middle in a grand chair. He had white hair and a youthful face and exuded a powerful aura at the peak level of the Emperor Realm. In the spiritual race, he could be considered a peerless grandmaster.

On both sides of the room sat the elders and officials of the Wankong Clan. Similar to Richard, all of them were also at the Emperor Realm.

"Father!" The young master immediately bowed to the patriarch.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you in charge of today's test?" Richard inquired.

Obviously, most of the elders and officials supposed that the young master's proposal was quite risky. After all, they knew nothing of the background of those two candidates, so they couldn't simply allow them to enter their clan's forbidden area. After all, if their holy treasure got stolen, they would suffer a heavy loss.

"Are you absolutely certain about this?" The patriarch seemed to be deep in thought when he asked the young master.

"No, not at all. Even so, I'm afraid this person is the last ray of hope for our clan. Father, you know how much our clan struggled to maintain parity with the four greatest clans. If we do not gain anything in the quest to the Ethereal Valley, we are sure to be subject to losing our place among them," the young master expressed bluntly. It was no secret that their clan was no longer in the same league as the other four great clans.

"You're right. We practically have no other choice now. In order to maintain our status, we might as well take this risk," Richard uttered firmly.

"C-chief!"

Many of the elders and officials reacted emotionally. They could not feel that it was their best option.

"Alright. I shall bring them to see you right away," the young master immediately suggested.

"No, there's no need for that. This matter falls on you now. Whatever the result is, remember to keep a low profile. If he truly is a chosen one, there's no way that the other four clans won't try to take him from us once they find out about him," Richard dutifully reminded.

"Understood."

The young master instantly went on his way.

The next day, the young master rode on a luxury carriage pulled by spiritual beasts and arrived at the courtyard where Rocky and Vivian stayed.

Before he even reached the gate, Rocky and Vivian already sensed his arrival from a distance. With a blank face, Rocky slowly opened the door and stepped out.

"Sir! What brings you here?" Rocky greeted, feigning surprise.
