"Are you a young girl from the Ghostly Cat Clan of the Xingluo Empire?" The beautiful female teacher surveyed Zhu Zhuqing and asked, "Did you get your family's approval to come here?"
Zhu Zhuqing was a bit nervous: "I have no connection with the Nether Spirit Cat Clan. I want to control my own destiny."
"That's a bit troublesome... I wonder if you'd be willing to take on an orphan identity?" the female teacher asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Because Ming Lun doesn't interfere with the rules of big clans... after all, it's difficult for an outsider to manage household affairs. However, the rules are not fully developed, so there are some loopholes—if you're an orphan, Ming Lun can accept you," Wu Youyou explained.
Of course, Wu Youyou didn't mention that the female teacher said this because she was there.
For others, they need to go through a huge application process before the academy sends people to the clan for an accurate assessment.
