Although Lu Ye had not visited the Battle Merit Pavilion many times, he was familiar enough with the way.
The vast hall bustled with activity. After the recent great battle, every surviving cultivator had gained something, so naturally a great number had come to exchange their spoils for supplies.
Lu Ye looked around before finally spotting a table in the most secluded corner. Someone sat behind it, though they seemed rather idle, lying facedown on the table asleep.
This was hidden far too well... as if they were afraid of being seen.
No wonder he had not noticed this place during his previous visits.
He stepped forward and lightly tapped the tabletop.
The figure sprawled over the table immediately straightened up. It was a short-haired young girl with a babyface. She looked utterly innocent and worldly unaware, her eyes still bleary with sleep and drool hanging at the corner of her mouth.
She blanked for a moment before coming to her senses and hurriedly said, "I wasn't sleeping, I wasn't sleeping. I was only... taking a tiny nap."
"Falcon?" Lu Ye asked with a frown.
Was this Falcon... reliable? This Babyface's cultivation was not high. By the standards of the starry sky, she was merely in the Moonlight Realm.
"Yes!" Babyface raised her sleeve to wipe away her drool, then looked at Lu Ye uncertainly. "Senior Brother is...?"
Lu Ye fell silent for a moment before finally saying, "I'm here to join Falcon."
"Ah, so that's it." Babyface appeared delighted. She sat up straight and tried hard to put on a capable air, though the result was not particularly convincing. "Since Senior Brother wishes to join Falcon, you should know the rules. Falcon does not accept anyone below twelve Dao Power."
Lu Ye took out his Dao Soldier short hammer
