Chapter 981 Strange reaction
After that young man was sent off, Lin Fan gave the order to the Love Sect disciples to continue.
They followed this order and just kept calling more names as if nothing had happened.
But it wasn't as if the talented youths couldn't remain unaffected by this.
They started looking at the mirror with strange looks that seemed to be filled with traces of worry. It was as if they were afraid to look into the mirror, afraid of what they would see.
They were afraid that they would fall to the tricks of the mirror like that young man.
Many of them started taking deep breaths and calming themselves, but the ones from the Love Sect knew that this wouldn't help at all.
The disciples of the Love Sect already knew what this mirror did, so they weren't surprised by any of the reactions from the talented youths.
They just shook their heads with sympathy for these would be junior disciples of theirs.
Still, this was needed to see if they were worthy of joining the Love Sect.
If they let people like that young man into the Love Sect, then there was no doubt that it would make the Love Sect worse off.
So they had to test their character and chase out the ones that didn't fit the Love Sect.
It took several dozen more people before another person acted the same way as that young man.
This time, she had the awareness to understand what was about to happen. So before anyone could throw her out of the Love Sect, she started to beg.
"Please, I promise that I will never betray the Love Sect! I promise that I'll be the Love Sect's greatest supporter in the future! Sect master, I'll follow you forever!"
In the end, she even tried appealing to Lin Fan and not just with her words.
She even tried using her body to appeal to Lin Fan.
All that happened was that she received the disdain of everyone around her.
It was clear what kind of character she had, so no one sympathized with her.
Then with a single wave of his hand, this girl was lifted up into the sky with Lin Fan's spiritual energy and sent out of the Love Sect.
After that, people were able to easily figure out what this second trial was for.
They had already started to guess this because of the way that the others had reacted, but no one was certain of anything. That was until they saw the second person act this way and understood what the Love Sect was testing for.
When they realized this, the representatives from the other sects had ugly expressions on their faces.
When they saw that someone had finally been rejected from the Love Sect, they thought that this was their chance. They thought that they had finally found someone to steal from the Love Sect.
Though there were some minor concerns about the way that the young man had acted, they were able to look past that because of the talent that he had demonstrated. But now that they had figured out what this second trial was about…
Even if they were talented, it wasn't as if they wanted these kinds of disciples in their sects.
Even if their sects weren't as harmonious as the Love Sect, it wasn't as if they wanted to bring anything in that would make their sects worse.
So there were many of the representatives from the sects that gave up the idea of recruiting that young man and young woman from before.
There were only a few that didn't seem to care, but that was only because their sects were a bit competitive to begin with.
There were a few more talented youths that reacted the same way and were expelled from the Love Sect's sect recruitment.
But it didn't seem that Lin Fan was happy about this as he had a stern look on his face.
That was what confused the people that were watching.
Even if there were a few bad apples in this bunch, it wasn't as if the entire bunch was rotten. There were still plenty of talented people that would be accepted into the Love Sect, so there's no need for him to worry about anything.
But it really didn't seem like Lin Fan was happy about this.
Then all of a sudden, that changed.
There was a talented young man that revealed a strange reaction to the mirror.
It wasn't like any of the other reactions that had been seen before.
"No, please, I don't want to die!" The young man suddenly shouted out after looking into the mirror.
He had his hands on his head and it seemed like he was on the verge of tears with the way that he was acting. It was as if whatever he had seen inside of the mirror completely terrified him, which was why he was acting this way.
It took him a moment to calm down, but even when he calmed down, there was a strange look on his face.
He kept looking at the mirror as if he was terrified of something even though it seemed like he wasn't able to see anything now. It was as if whatever had been in the mirror had left a long lasting trauma on him.
Everyone was curious about what he saw, but they didn't get the chance to ask him anything.
That was because both Lin Fan and Senior Brother Ying had been looking at this young man with a strange look. No one could understand why they were looking at him like this and they weren't able to tell if this was a good or bad thing that they were looking at him like this.
It was just a fact that the two of them were looking at this young man.
After a long silence, Lin Fan said, "You don't need to take the rest of the trials. You can go with the elder to the Love Sect."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and they were even more shocked when the elder appeared beside the young man. None of them had seen the elder moving, so they had no idea where he even came from.
The young man didn't seem to react at first to this before slowly turning to look at the elder.
But even after looking at the elder for a bit, he turned back to Lin Fan to ask, "How does this mirror work? How was it able to show me…that?"
It seemed that whatever he had seen had left a deep impression on him.

Lin Fan looked right at him and said, "That's not for you to know."
The young man seemed a bit bothered by this answer, but he could also see that Lin Fan had no intention of actually giving him an answer. At the same time, it wasn't as if he would be able to force Lin Fan to give him an answer.
There was a difference in power between them.
Even before that, there was a difference in status between them.
He might be the young master of a noble family, but the other side was the sect master of the Love Sect.
There were few in this entire Mu Empire that would have a status that surpassed his.
So in the end, the young man decided to go with the elder even though it seemed like he had some kind of reservation.
But judging by the look on his face, it seemed that he was curious about the mirror and the image that he had been shown. That was why he wanted to go with the elder to see if he could find anything about this.
Without a word, the elder led the young man deep into the Love Sect.
As he went into the Love Sect, there were many people that had envious looks that they cast in his direction.
This was the first time that this happened and everyone assumed that this young man had been specially chosen by the Love Sect, that was why he was being treated like this.
All of them couldn't help wondering if they would be able to have the same reaction from the mirror, but it wasn't as if they could fake it. This kind of acting was useless in front of the mirror that directly went into their minds.
In the end, there were several more people that had the same reaction as the young man from before.
Each time this happened, they were always led to the Love Sect by an elder.
Each time, they were met with envious gazes from everyone else.
It was just that they didn't know the truth of the matter.
Those that received this kind of treatment definitely were not to be envied.
But seeing how many of them there were, Lin Fan finally revealed a faint smile.
He had been worried that he wouldn't be able to catch any fish in his net, but it turned out that there were some after all.
The ones that were caught in this net should be the worst of the bunch, so that meant that all of the dangerous elements were being taken care of ahead of time.
The rest could be handled by the Mu Empire's people in the end with the list that he created.
When it was all over, Lin Fan didn't bother watching the rest of the sect recruitment.
Senior Brother Ying didn't stop him and took over the sect recruitment since he knew that this was how things were supposed to go.
But everyone else seemed disappointed that Lin Fan left.
