Cultivation Online

"Thank you for the warning, but I would still like to apply to that faction." Wang Xiuying said with a smile on her face.

The woman shrugged, "You're only wasting your time. Don't say I didn't warn you."

"Name?" The woman proceeded to ask her a few questions required for the application form.

"Wang Xiuying."

"Age?"

"19 years old."

"Your cultivation?"

"Sixth level Spirit Apprentice."

The woman scoffed inwardly after hearing Wang Xiuying's cultivation. The Demon Sealing Faction consisted mostly of high-level Spirit Warriors. There was no way they'd accept a Spirit Apprentice into their ranks.

"Reason for wanting to join the faction?"

"Because I want to help them." Wang Xiuying calmly responded.

"..."

The woman shook her head inwardly. 'This girl… she's hopeless.'

After typing in all of Wang Xiuying's information, the woman sent the application to the Demon Sealing Faction.

"We will give you a call if they accept you, but like I'd said, that won't happen, so you might as well apply for another faction while you're here." The woman said.

However, Wang Xiuying suddenly retrieved her phone and dialed a number.

A few moments later—

"Yes, I have just applied for the faction. Thanks. I'll talk to you again once I return home."

Before Wang Xiuying even hung up the phone, the woman noticed a change on her screen, causing her to look at the monitor.

"W-What?! T-This is! Approved?! Impossible!" The woman couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the status of Wang Xiuying's application that had suddenly changed from pending to approved!

'This isn't possible! There must have been an error in the system!' The woman didn't want to believe it.

After all, over a million people have applied to join the Demon Sealing Faction since it was announced, but all of their applications have remained 'pending' even to this day.

"Is there something wrong?" Wang Xiuying asked the woman after noticing her facial expression.

"T-There has been a bug in the system. It says that your application had been approved, but I'd just submitted it. There's no way that's possible." The woman said.

And she continued, "Please wait while I call my supervisor."

"Uhh…" Wang Xiuying wanted to tell the woman that it wasn't an error and that Meixiu had manually approved it during her call just now, but the woman was already on the phone and speaking to her supervisor.

Of course, when the supervisor heard of the situation, he also believed it to be a bug in the system, so he manually removed Wang Xiuying's name from the Demon Sealing Faction's member list, bringing it back down to 10.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but I will have to resubmit your application due to an error."

"Huh? Even though it was already approved?" Wang Xiuying was speechless.

The woman scoffed in a mocking manner, "Do you really believe that you'll be able to join the faction because of an error? Even though your name had temporarily appeared in their database, we easily removed it."

Wang Xiuying rubbed her eyes and sighed, "That wasn't an error."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. Anyways, I have finished submitting your application."

Wang Xiuying didn't want to argue with this woman, so she just left the building.

Once she was outside, she called Meixiu again, "Hey, sorry, but something happened at the Cultivators' Association and I had to resubmit my application."

"But I already approved it. Your name is already in our roster— Eh? It's gone? It was just there." Meixiu's puzzled voice resounded through the phone.

"They thought it was an error, so they removed me from the list…" Wang Xiuying explained the situation to her.

"I see… Then I'll give Chairman Lee a call to make sure there isn't any misunderstanding this time."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Meixiu called Chairman Lee and notified him of the situation.

"I-I am so sorry for the inconvenience my people have caused you! I will immediately send out an email so that it won't happen again!" Chairman Lee said.

Once the call ended, Chairman Lee hastily sent an email to all of his associates regarding Wang Xiuying being  the Demon Sealing Faction's newest member. He also made sure to scold the woman and her supervisor for their hasty actions.

News of the Demon Sealing Faction receiving a new member quickly spread, shocking the world.

"What? The Demon Sealing Faction with Player Yuan finally got a new member after ignoring everyone for months? Who's this lucky bastard?"

"It's a woman. According to the person that did her application, she is a young lady between 18 and 20 years old."

"What? That's all? As the one who did the application, she should have way more information on this new member, right?"

"That is against their policy, and I doubt she would want to offend the Demon Sealing Faction by revealing their private information."

"Damn! What is so special about this new member that the others don't have?! I sent an application the day their faction was announced, but I still haven't received a response! I'd rather they deny it than to ignore it!"

Meanwhile, Wang Xiuying called Meixiu again after she returned home.

"So when can I move into the headquarters?" Wang Xiuying asked.

"We'll need to speak with the Manager first. Fortunately, she's currently living here as a guest, so it shouldn't take too long." Meixiu said.

"I will leave it to you and Yuan. Once again, thank you for letting me join the faction."

"It's only natural. You're Yuan's friend, and you even took care of him before."

After the call ended, Meixiu went to look for the Manager, who was watching the sealed demon in the training area like a guard dog.

"Your faction received a new member?"

"Yes, so can you make it so that she can enter the Dragon Spiral Mountain? She'll be living with us."

The Manager narrowed her eyes and said, "I will think about it… after your boyfriend deals with this final demon."

"B-Boyfriend?" Meixiu blushed.

"Am I wrong? I can smell his odor all over your body— and that Chu girl."

"..." Meixiu was speechless.

'The Manager can small Yuan on us? That's… so embarrassing!' She cried inwardly.

"Hm? You didn't know? I guess he has been two-timing you…" The Manager smiled when she noticed Meixiu's stiff expression.
