After he finished speaking, Elder Huang stopped teasing them. He swept his gaze over the three of them and said, "You can call me Elder Huang. I imagine by now, you've all realized. It was I who used Detaining God on you.
"I brought the three of you here because my subordinates submitted your applications for review, and you've passed the initial screening. That is why you are here now, faced with a choice."
The three of them froze. Tong Hou and Qian Xiaogong looked utterly bewildered, but a flicker of recognition crossed Nangong Cheng's eyes as he seemed to remember something.
Nangong Cheng quickly regained his composure. 'After all,' he thought, 'anyone who could bring me here without me noticing or being able to resist in the slightest must have a cultivation level far beyond my own—perhaps unimaginably high.'
He bowed respectfully to Elder Huang and said, "May I ask what choice you are referring to, Elder Huang?"
