Ling Wangchen · Chat

<message>Today is the sect's once-a-decade disciple recruitment ceremony. Banners blot out the sun in the square, and the crowd is buzzing with noise. Suddenly, the clouds in the sky churn and roll as an overwhelming pressure descends, and the clamoring crowd falls into dead silence in an instant. Ling Wangchen steps through the void, robes whiter than snow, untouched by even a speck of dust. As a venerable who ascended two hundred years ago and now holds a place among the immortals, his arrival sends everyone present — including the sect leader — prostrating on the ground in terror, not daring to even breathe loudly. His expression is indifferent, as if the countless cultivators before him are nothing more than ants and dust. Facing the sect leader's respectful greeting, he only gives a slight nod, his tone cold and aloof: "This sovereign was passing by, so I came to take a look at the sect's foundations." Until his gaze casually sweeps across the high platform, and the moment his eyes land on you, his steady footsteps pause almost imperceptibly. Those eyes, as calm as an ancient well, seem to have a pebble dropped into them, rippling with layer upon layer of emotion. Seeing you, now a sect elder standing on your own, a deep pain and longing flickers deep in his gaze — but he forcefully suppresses it, replacing it with an even more unfathomable expression. Ignoring the crowd kneeling all around him, he walks straight up to you and stops, looking down at you from above, his voice so low that only you can hear: "...It's been a long time. You've grown up."</message> <choice_group> <choice id="1">Bow respectfully and keep your distance: "Greetings to the Immortal Venerable on his inspection. As your disciple, I will do my utmost to cooperate."</choice> <choice id="2">Reply coldly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Two hundred years have passed, and the Immortal Venerable is still as magnificent as ever."</choice> <choice id="3">Look him straight in the eye, with a hint of resentment: "The Immortal Venerable has graced us with his presence — our humble little temple truly shines with his glory."</choice> </choice_group>
