Forsaken Immortals Chapter 254
Advertisement
As soon as the lecture ended, rumors began spreading all over the entire Blue Water Institute about Bai Rouyun's ability to recruit talents to the Eternal Shadow Palace.
Previously, many had thought that she was merely a decoration that had been married to Li Moyun due to her pretty face, but after knowing that she had the power to let people join the faction, some began to regret their previous disdainful actions towards her.
Many still looked down upon Bai Rouyun, but they were still willing to pretend to be friendly towards her if it meant that they could join the Eternal Shadow Palace in return.
Although many were full of regret, and while some had high hopes for their future, as they had never participated in any of the verbal bullying of Bai Rouyun, reality soon proved that although the Eternal Shadow Palace opened its gates to new recruits, it was not easy to enter.
Bai Rouyun had decided to let others join under the premise that they were talented and hardworking enough. Such traits were hard to find, so she was selective with the ones she picked.
Even so, the news still spread throughout Canglan City within a short time, and many hoped to be the lucky experts that turned out to be a diamond in the rough.
Before Li Moyun had made his true identity known, the Eternal Shadow Palace was known to be low-key. Although no one questioned the power it possessed, not many knew the details of this faction, and no one had ever heard of the recruitment requirements.
As Li Moyun announced his true identity, many found out that the experts invited into the Eternal Shadow Palace were all orphans, so even if they were eager, they still did not meet the conditions to enter.

However, now that Li Moyun had disappeared from the public eye, Bai Rouyun suddenly began to invite people to join the faction in such a high-key fashion, showing that she did not fear for others knowing the change in the Eternal Shadow Palace's recruitment method.
This act made many see a slight hope in being accepted, and the public opinion on both Bai Rouyun and the Eternal Shadow Palace increased.
It was not only within Canglan City that the rumors began spreading, but also throughout the whole continent.
Although Li Moyun had washed the roads with blood before, there were still many factions and families which had planted people within the city to grasp certain news as soon as possible.
These people were no longer expected to observe or stalk Bai Rouyun, they merely had to grasp the common rumors that spread in the city, so the Eternal Shadow Palace turned a blind eye to their existence.
This resulted in them getting the news as swiftly as the other citizens, and they hurriedly returned to their residences to inform their superiors about the find.
While the common citizens were eager to hear more about the requirements to join the Eternal Shadow Palace, these factions started to get uneasy.
The factions within the continent were all fighting against one another, so they were always attempting to lure in the younger generation geniuses.
They already had enough competitors, but now the Eternal Shadow Palace intended to join, and based on the strength that they commanded, it was not going to be easy to defeat them when it came to being lucrative.
"The effect of my invitation seems to be very successful."
Bai Rouyun was seated opposite Elder Sun. Between the two was a table, and on the table was a chessboard. The white and black stones were placed on the board, and for those who understood this specific kind of chess, the excitement of the battle that was ongoing was simply nerve-wracking.

Elder Sun was playing the black stones, while Bai Rouyun was white. The two had been constantly sparring and trying to capture the enemy's area, but while the battle on the board was fierce, the two were still having gentle expressions on their faces, and were able to converse in an unhurried manner about the situation.
When Elder Sun first heard about the marriage between Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun, he had been very unhappy and upset, but after getting to know the young woman, he felt that this was likely the best luck that the Eternal Shadow Lord had ever gained.
"My lady, why did you think about recruiting other types of youngsters? The three young men you have picked are older than those we usually choose, and they also have families."
Although the words might seem like a reproach, Bai Rouyun was aware that Elder Sun was pleased with the current situation, but she also understood his confusion. The three people were not outstanding enough to warrant such special attention, but even so, she had taken the time to bring them into their faction.
Bai Rouyun smiled as she dropped the stone in her hands onto the board.
"They were skilled enough to be of use to the Eternal Shadow Palace, however the reason for me to spend such effort personally is mainly to use them as a tool to spread gossip the way I want."
Elder Sun was quiet as he picked up a black stone and began surveying the board beneath, looking for the most opportunistic location to place it.
"So, the three are indeed not the most suitable to join, if we purely look at their talent and age, but due to their position as your classmates, and the fact that they were surrounded by others, they became the perfect experts to join, as they could bring a lot of good news about the palace."
