Nameless
The next day, Jiang Mei woke up feeling refreshed, but Xiao Fang was nowhere to be seen. The last thing she remembered was resting her head on his arm and cuddling into his warmth. Just thinking about it made her feel all bubbly inside. She eventually got dressed then went out looking for him, but soon after she left her room, she ran into Rong Shi.
"Junior greets Elder," Rong Shi said.
Jiang Mei felt a bit strange hearing Rong Shi refer to her as an elder, because it wasn't that long ago that Jiang Mei was an inner court disciple herself.
"Elder, have you seen Long Wang?"
"No, I haven't. Is there a reason why you're looking for him?"
"Mn," she nodded.
Rong Shi reached into her spatial pouch then took something out.
"Earlier this morning, I went to the Guild Requirement Center to pick these up. I wanted to surprise him, but I can't seem to find him anywhere," Rong Shi said.
"This is..."
What she held in her hands was a belt-like ribbon with a metal nameplate attached to it.
"Is this the name he chose for the guild?" Jiang Mei asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"It is," Rong Shi replied with a bit of an awkward smile.
The guild name carved into the metal plate was 'WuMing'. (Translated to 'Nameless')
"May I have one?" Jiang Mei asked.
"Ah, elder, are you really joining our guild?"
"Mn, I am Long Wang's master after all."
Rong Shi gave her a nameplate then Jiang Mei wrapped it around her waist.
It wasn't a requirement to have an elder supervising a guild, but having one made it a lot easier to send a guild report to the sect every week.
"How does it look?" Jiang Mei asked.
Rong Shi paused as she looked at her. Jiang Mei might've been an elder, but she looked much younger than any of the elders Rong Shi had seen in the inner court.
"It looks good," Rong Shi replied, making Jiang Mei smile too.
Jiang Mei had always been a very attractive girl, but she noticed that she was getting even more attractive every time she slept with Xiao Fang. In the past she didn't really think much about it, but recently it's been making her feel good.
"Good, let's go. I'll help you find Long Wang so you can give it to him yourself."
"Thank you, Elder."

The two of them walked through the house, talking to each other as they searched each room.
"You were a Phoenix-Class disciple? But you look so young. With your level of talent you could've easily become a Dragon-Class disciple or even a Core court disciple. Why did you become an elder so early?" Rong Shi asked.
Jiang Mei hid her smile as she laughed quietly. Although her body cultivation was high, the reason she looked as young as she did was because she had been sleeping regularly with Xiao Fang.
"I'm not as young as you think. My body cultivation is at the Profound Body realm. As for my decision to become an elder, it's a bit too difficult for a body cultivator to get into the Dragon-Class, so I spirit cultivated for a few years, but reached a bottleneck at the 7th stage of the Spirit Core realm. The next best thing for me to do was to become an elder."
The truth was, Jiang Mei's spirit cultivation was crippled during an unfortunate accident. There was little to no hope that she could ever break through to the 8th stage of the Spirit Core realm, so it was then that she decided to become an elder of the sect.
