Uncle-Master Wang's expression turned serious as he continued:
"Martial Nephew Feng, since you've already accepted an assignment, there's nothing I can do. But I can still help Martial Niece Xiang Chu and Martial Niece Karin. I know a Foundation Establishment Stage talisman-maker in the sect, and I can introduce Karin to her."
Naruto and Karin brightened at his words and immediately thanked Uncle-Master Wang.
"It's nothing." Uncle-Master Wang waved a hand.
"In fact, I had this idea back when I saw Karin's abilities in the Ascension Conference's arena matches. Her talent for talismans deserves proper guidance. Arranging that is part of my duty!"
Uncle-Master Wang was responsible for recruiting disciples into Yellow Maple Valley, as well as making suitable arrangements for their cultivation and development.
"As for Martial Niece Xiang Chu..." Uncle-Master Wang turned to Hinata again, considering the matter.
"Uncle-Master Wang, I think I have some talent for alchemy," Hinata said softly as she looked at him.
"Oh? That couldn't be better." Delight appeared on Uncle-Master Wang's face. "A friend of mine happens to be looking for an alchemy attendant. I can introduce you."
Naruto and Hinata were delighted to hear this and bowed deeply to Uncle-Master Wang.
"No need for such courtesy!" Uncle-Master Wang waved his hand and looked at the three of them.
"Actually, with your aptitude, you stand a very good chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage after taking your Foundation Establishment Pills. Before long, we may well be addressing one another as peers."
In Yellow Maple Valley, and indeed in every immortal cultivation sect, seniority had nothing to do with age. It depended solely on cultivation!
It was that pragmatic and clear-cut!
Naruto smiled and continued with his hands clasped respectfully:
"Whatever happens, the three of us will never forget your kindness, Uncle-Master Wang!
