It was only natural for these people to feel somewhat dejected. After all, in this world, besides strength... background sometimes mattered just as much.
Jia Gui naturally heard their conversation and smiled.
"Divine Tiger Hall Master, you were right. I am indeed very interested in the position of hall master in your sect."
As he spoke, Jia Gui said meaningfully, "Before I came here, my father specifically instructed me to pay Sect Master Xuanyuan a visit. I have come several times without ever meeting him in person. How could I miss this opportunity now?"
"Divine Tiger Hall Master!"
Jia Gui paused here before continuing, "Before I came to the Black Fiend Realm to train, my father had already praised Sect Master Xuanyuan to the skies. He said Sect Master Xuanyuan was a talent that shocked the world, and that if I could learn even a fraction of his abilities, I would benefit without end..."
Both openly and between the lines, Jia Gui was making it clear that the position of hall master in the Xuanyuan Divine Sect was his and his alone.
How could Divine Tiger fail to understand what he meant?
He chuckled.
"Our sect master has received Clan Leader Jia's recognition... I believe he will certainly be very pleased. Since Young Master Jia wishes to become a hall master of our sect, the Xuanyuan Divine Sect could not ask for more."
"Of course!"
"Young Master Jia comes from the Yellow Cloud Realm, a Middle Plane. Your talent naturally needs no explanation. I believe you will have no problem with the coming selection."
Clearly, Divine Tiger's words displeased Jia Gui somewhat.
Had I not made myself clear enough?
Damn it!
Jia Gui cursed inwardly. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Divine Tiger gave him no further chance.
