The Fake Heiress Turns out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 995: Her Choice, Representing Sea City Taoist Academy

Chapter 995: Chapter 995: Her Choice, Representing Sea City Taoist Academy
Unlike the Academy Competition, the Mystical Sect Competition is larger in scale, jointly organized by the Security Bureau, the Taoism Academy, and the Mystic Regulation Office.
Apart from the students who triumphed in the past three years of Academy Competitions, the Security Bureau, Mystic Regulation Office, and Mystical Sect families each have a portion of recommendation slots.
To ensure fairness, those recommended to participate are mostly representatives of the younger generation from each family.
Last year, Scarlett Jennings’ team represented the Sea City Taoist Academy and won the Academy Competition, so she definitely qualifies for this Mystical Sect Competition.
The only question is which side she should represent to participate in this Mystical Sect Competition.
Security Bureau meeting room,
"Although Scarlett Jennings and Stella Gibson only joined the Security Bureau last year, their strength is among the top in the young members of the Security Bureau. I suggest we allocate one slot each to them for this Mystical Sect Competition."
This was the suggestion from the head of the external operations group, and the other group managers had no objections.
Although these two joined the Security Bureau not long ago, they performed excellently in handling both the Sea City incident and researching the Boundary Breaking Barrier, solving the conspiracy behind the Ghost Fog, and dealing with the Nova Clan, contributing significantly.
Another person then said,
"I have no objection to them representing the Security Bureau in this Mystical Sect Competition, but what about the Sea City Taoist Academy? Their team was the winner of last year’s Academy Competition."
The head of the external operations group responded indifferently,
"What does it matter? The Mystical Sect Competition does not have fixed team trials. Even without them, the Sea City Taoist Academy still has four members left."
Of course, it’s more prestigious to represent the Security Bureau!
Simon sat above, listening to their discussion. He tapped his fingers casually on the table, directly interrupting their conversation,
"Assign the slots first, and let them decide which side to represent."
He paused, then added,
"But don’t forget, Scarlett Jennings is not only part of our Security Bureau but also of the Mystic Regulation Office. It’s still uncertain which side she’ll ultimately represent."
With Simon’s reminder, the expressions of the attendees became somewhat strange.
Indeed, they almost forgot.
Scarlett Jennings has more than just two identities; she holds positions in both the Mystic Regulation Office and Spiritual Affairs.
Ghost Cultivators don’t participate in the Mystical Sect Competition, but the Mystic Regulation Office definitely does.
Given Scarlett Jennings’ performance at the Academy of Mystique, the Mystic Regulation Office might indeed have her represent them.
That would not do!
Whether representing the Taoism Academy or the Security Bureau, she is still one of our Mystical Sect people.
But if she represents the Mystic Regulation Office, she would belong to the Demon Clan!
Realizing this, the head of the external operations group immediately decided,
"Finalize the list and have Scarlett Jennings confirm her decision as soon as possible!"
They must secure her before the Mystic Regulation Office does!
Coincidentally, the Mystic Regulation Office had the same plan.
Thus, as the Mystical Sect Competition was just beginning to be organized, Scarlett Jennings received confirmation notifications from all three parties.
Though Stella Gibson only received notifications from two sides, it was enough for her to show off in the family group.
Both sides are vying for her; it’s quite the dilemma.
Ashton Todd felt a bit disappointed at not being sought after. He had already planned that if the Security Bureau wanted him to represent them, he could directly ask them to bid for his participation.
The highest bidder could have him.
Gregory Xander, besides having a slot from the Academy, also had one from the Xander Family, but he ignored it and turned to Scarlett Jennings,
"Have you decided which side you’ll represent?"
Gregory Xander wouldn’t interfere with Scarlett Jennings’ decision, but from the perspective of the Mystical Sect, he hoped she wouldn’t represent the Mystic Regulation Office.
Scarlett Jennings glanced at him, her face unperturbed, and said,
"There’s no need to think."
From start to finish, she had only one choice.
And that was to represent the Sea City Taoist Academy, just as she teamed up to win the Academy Competition previously, to continue participating in the Mystical Sect Competition this time.
She always remembered where she started from.
Stella Gibson, who had just boasted in her family group, also laughed upon hearing Scarlett Jennings’ words,
"I’ve told my uncle and them too, although the Security Bureau values me so much, I must represent the Sea City Taoist Academy."
There’s no need to mention Gregory Xander; the Xander Family was never an option for him.
They originally entered the Academy Competition together, and naturally, they would participate in the upcoming Mystical Sect Competition together.
Scarlett Jennings’ decision was unsurprising, yet Emily Hearne presented an unexpected challenge.
Just as Scarlett Jennings was exiting Emily Hearne’s Mind Domain, finishing her daily cultivation, Emily Hearne casually remarked,
"You must participate in this Mystical Sect Competition with your Demon identity."
This was not a negotiation, but a demand.
Scarlett Jennings’ eyes flickered, and she simply replied,
"I’ve already decided to participate as a student of the Sea City Taoist Academy."
Although she was an exchange student at the Academy of Mystique, and her focus had been on cultivating her demonic power for the past six months, she never forgot she was a Mystical Sect Master.
Emily Hearne listened to her calm rebuttal, showing no anger, merely resting her chin on her hand while looking at her,
"You’ve acknowledged the Demon lineage of the Hearne Clan, and using demonic power cultivated from them to compete against the Demon Clan is inappropriate."
She continued before Scarlett Jennings could argue,
"If you intend to participate as a Mystical Sect Master, you must not use any demonic power belonging to the Demon Clan."
Scarlett Jennings had no objections to this, "That’s fine."
Her cultivation of demonic power was never to prove her strength among her peers.
She merely wanted to have more strength to protect herself and those around her in crucial moments.
"In this Mystical Sect Competition, I will not use any demonic power."
Scarlett Jennings promised as such.
Emily Hearne listened to her promise, merely raising an eyebrow slightly, yet showing no reaction on her face,
"Words alone won’t suffice. If you insist on participating as a Mystical Sect Master, I’ll have to personally seal all your demonic power during the competition. Think it over carefully..."
Emily Hearne’s tone remained languidly casual, but her words carried a hidden threat.
Clearly, she was giving Scarlett Jennings a chance to reconsider.
Scarlett Jennings looked at her, yet had no intention of reconsidering,
"I’ve thought it over."
She said, "I’ll come over three days before the competition begins."
Saying that, she turned and left regardless of Emily Hearne’s expression.
Hannah Hearne had been pretending to be invisible throughout the exchange and now hesitated whether to leave with Scarlett Jennings. Just as she lifted her foot, Emily Hearne called her back.
Emily Hearne maintained her languid posture, her expression showing no displeasure. However, her words made Hannah Hearne’s heart secretly tremble,
"Young Imps require tempering when they are disobedient."
She stated,
"Inform Nova Lineage that Demons participating in this Mystical Sect Competition should not hold back against Scarlett Jennings, they can strike hard, as long as they leave her alive."
