"Sir, We have reached White tiger village." The carriage driver said as soon as the carriage stopped moving.

"Finally, it's about time. Wait here and don't enter the village under any circumstance."

The last thing I need now is my driver dying in the upcoming conflict that may or may not occu and leaving me to drive the carriage on my own.

"Sir, Is there any reason I shouldn't?" He asked in hesitation.

"If you are tired of living, then by all means you can enter." I said with a smile.

"woof"

"See? Even little Noir agrees with me."

"I s-see, then I should probably not enter."

The driver immediately ran back to sit on the carriage upon hearing my remark.

I started to move towards the White tiger village with Noir in my hand. Can't have him killed by human stampede. Comparing the soaring dragon town, to this village will be like an insult to the Soaring dragon town. The road to here is undermaintained and the houses in the village are in worse conditions.

But the one thing that is out of place for this small place is the existence of the large number of visitors.

Looking at all their heads with colourful hair on it is making me dizzy. Diverse hair colour is good and all but when people is present in mass, the view looks like twisted rainbows.

I started to blend in to the crowd like a fish in water and started moving in the crowd's location.

"Our sect will take the white one.."

"No we will.."

Heated argument started to reach my ear as I got closer to the centre of the town.

Elders of many powerful sects are present in there. Ohh!.. there are disciples even from the Martial sect and the Valley of fallen blossoms.

Looking closely, I can even see members from the strongest sect in the kingdom: Ancient blade sect. Their sect is only second in power to the kingdom, making them one of the heavyweights of the kingdom.

If even these powers are willing to come here then it should not be a false rumor but the birth of real prodigies.

Thinking of it now, during my childhood I was never able to enter any sect as my aptitude never reached their lowest standard. Forget about the sects not even the martial Academies of that time were willing to take me in.

Looking at the scene in front of me, some dark emotions started to boil in me. Even when I of all the people should know nothing good would come of it, I can't but envy those talents.

"Woof?"

Noir barked at me with a worried look, noticing my unnatural mood.

"It's nothing."

As I moved my vision with complex thoughts to the centre of all these commotion, I can't but exclaim as to what I saw.

There were two little twin girls holding each other's hand in nervousness. One twin has black hair and black eyes and another one has white hair and grey eyes. It doesn't take a genius to figure out which is the blessed child and cursed child. There bodies are entirely covered with some kind of runes which kept on emitting some kind of familiar aura.

Talents. One look at them and my intuition is telling me both of them are destined to advance to the Lord realm.

"We will take the white one."

"No we will take her."

"Valley of fallen blossoms is the ideal place for female practitioners who are destined to shine."

Fierce competition like always. But why are these people only interested in the white one? Is there something I'm missing out? As far I can feel both of them have the raw talent to achieve unbelievable things.

"ENOUGH." The sudden domineering voice which came out of the back of the crowd suppressed all the quarrels for the two talents.

The crowd on the opposite side of me parted towards the two sides to let in three people.

The three individuals who came wore robes of the Ancient blade sect, The Martial sect and the Valley of fallen blossoms.

The young man who stood in the left has a buffed and well toned body which can be even seen through the yellow robe of the Martial sect her wore. Along with his red hair, red eyes and the solemn aura around him, it was as if a demon itself stood before him.

On on the right side stood a young beautiful woman in a light pink coloured robe of the Valley of fallen blossom. The blue hair and blue eyes along with the chilling aura around here created a dignified atmosphere.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

And in the middle of them stood a middle aged man with sharp eyes. His deep black eyes and black hair with strands of grey in them signifying his age gave a profound impression. The deep blue robe of the Ancient blade sect along with the long blade in his hand gave him the aura of a wise leader.

What made them stand out from the rest of the people is their aura, heaven realm. And even among the heaven realm practitioners I have seen in my life, theirs's stood on a whole different level. Not even I had that much momentum in my peak of heaven realm.

"Tch.. even the three masters of the sect came out." I heard a whisper from my back.

No wonder they stood out! Upon seeing the three masters most of the elders from the small sects started to leave the vicinity.

"Don't you people have any shame. Arguing and fighting amongst yourself over the right of two kids like as if they are some kind of items." The head of the Ancient blade sect said in a cold voice.

His words does contain honest truth. But looking at the crowd, no one was regretting their actions. It was obvious that no one took his words to their hearts. If they can get their hands on either one of these two twins, then it is guaranteed for their sects to raise to the level of the heavyweights or more. Power rules over dignity.

"Let's just ask the kids for their choice." The woman said in a manner of fact voice.

As soon as the woman said that disciples from the Martial Ancient blade and Valley of fallen blossom hurriedly came out and bowed before whispered something in to their master's ears. Whatever it was that the disciples whispered in their ear made them look towards the twins in surprise.

"I see. It really is a pity. Anyway *cough*."

The sect master of the Ancient blade sect mumbled something out before coughing to get the attention of the crowd and the twins.

"What is your name little girl?" He moved his head towards the white haired girl to get her answer.

" C-Celine." The little girl answered in a feeble voice.

"Ohh! What a cute name. Can I ask you a question little Celine?"

"Y-Yes" She said after looking at the excited crowd with a thoughtful expression.

"Do you know why all of the people are here?" He asked.

"Ye-es, they ca-ame here to ta-ke us to their p-place."

"Ohh! then have you decided which sect you would like to join?"

When the Ancient blade sect master asked her, she started to fidget in nervousness wanting to say something.

"Speak, little one. no one here will harm you." The sect master of the Valley of fallen blossoms said in a kind voice.

"Can I bring my sister along with me? Everyone is being mean and don't want my sister to come along." Celine asked.

"This.."

The three of them started to hesitate in giving a reply which started worrying the little white haired girl.

Speaking of which, why is everyone afraid of the black twin? Now that I look at her carefully. This!.. Her eyes are hollow.

It is the eyes of someone who has lost all hope. Hmm.. is the curse the reason for the aversion to the cursed child? It is the most likely option. Even then..

"Unfortunately you can't , you too know the reason don't you little girl?" The sect master of the Ancient blade sect said in a complicated tone.

Well, at least it is good to know that they rejected her directly. There are many sects out there who would take both of them as an act to save their face in public only to kill of the girl in secret after they reach their sect. I have witnessed those kind of incidents a lot in the past.

"So have you decided?" The sect leader of the Martial sect asked.

"I- I what about my sister?" She asked in teary eyes.

Okay, now I feel sorry for the girl.

"How about this little Celine. There would be at least one sect out there which would be willing to take her in. So why don't you first choose?" The sect leader of the Valley of the fallen blossoms asked.

"Really, Big sister would be chosen too?" She asked with pure innocent eyes.

"Y-Yes, of course she too would be selected, right?" They said averting their eyes from the girl and glaring at the crowd for confirmation.

Wow! this looks like three kidnappers trying to kidnap a child with candies.

At least they didn't say an outright lie, as there would be at least one sect out of all the numerous sect which would accept her. The other girl too is a talent rivaling the blessed child.

"See? So why don't you start choosing?"

"Then, I would like to enter mister's sect." Celine said as she pointed her finger towards the Ancient martial sect leader.

Well. She chose the strongest sect of the three. Is it on a whim? Or is it because of her intuition?

Or is it because she felt that he was more friendly than the other two?

"Yes, you chose the right one, little Celine." The middle aged man said with a wide smile spread on his face.

Of course the other two masters don't have a nice expression on their face. It's a miracle that they are not fighting over the child and instead is trying to talk it out. Must be the because of the current tension between the three countries.

"Then my sister-" Celine asked with expectation.

"Yes, yes. About your sister. Is anyone willing to take in the other girl?" The sect leader of the Ancient blade sect asked with a wide smile on his face.

"..."

Utter silence. Why though? Even if they don't have an intuition on my level, there would be at least some sects who would gamble up on her to rise their sect to power.

"No one? Anyone? Is no one interested in taking her in?.." He said with a frown forming on his face. He must have realized the seriousness of his promise by now.

The three sect masters did promise her in finding a sect for her sister and that too in front of all these sects. Now he can't leave without finding a sect for her sister. Worst case scenario, he would have to take in the other girl too.

But no one was looking him in the eyes, even the the sect leaders behind him were averting their eyes. In fact those two have a smile on their faces realizing the severity of the situation and the trouble that will follow for the ancient blade sect.

The little girl must have done this for the goodness of her sister but she is still too young and naïve. Even in the remote case, where no sect is willing to take in her sister and thus forcing the sect master of the ancient blade sect to bring her sister with him, they would be separated up on arriving in the sect. From the rumors it is said she is able to generate random fortunes in an area. It is the main reason why all these people needed her. If she stays with her sister then the fortune will be cancelled by her sister's misfortune.

"Anyone?" The sect master of the Ancient blade sect asked in a severe voice.

Judging by the current situation, the ancient blade sect might ask one of their hidden sects to volunteer as a scapegoat.

"No one?"

So no one is willing? As I looked at the little black haired girl who has a blank expression plastered on to her face, I felt pity for her. If no sect is willing to take her in, then her fate is stay in the village, which the villagers obviously wouldn't like.

Maybe I should take her in? After all according to my intuition she is destined to reach the Lord realm. And my intuition usually has a 40% chance of being positive. And in case she reach the Lord realm, I can adopt her into Alister family and dump all my responsibilities onto her. I will even be able to enter the NEET life that I have been envisioning by that time.

Perfect. Then it's decided..

"I will take her in."

"Woof, woof"

My voice followed by Noir's bark in the unnaturally silent brought in numerous gaze on me.
