Chapter 122 - You Dont Belong Here! (2/2)

”Yes, I just passed the disciple examination, and I don't belong to any family,” Yuan said.

”How can a nobody— a new disciple, no less, be assigned to a house in this area meant for the privileged? Did the sect elders make a mistake somewhere and accidentally gave him the wrong house?” One of the disciples spoke his thoughts out loud.

”That must be a case! Although it's uncommon, mistakes like this are bound to happen every so often.”

The other disciples quickly agreed with the disciple who just spoke.

”You heard us! There must have been a mistake that allowed you to get a house in this place! Return to the sect elder who handed you your identification token and tell him about the mistake! If you want to live in this area, you must either be ranked top 10 in the disciple ranking for the Outer Court disciples' ranking or come from a prominent family like Fairy Min here! Hurry up and get out of here! You're ruining our moods!”

”...” Yuan was speechless. These disciples were essentially telling him to tell Grand Elder Xuan that he'd made a mistake!

After a moment of silence, Yuan said to the disciples, ”I don't think there were any mistakes. Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to settle down in my new home.”

Yuan turned around and began walking towards his house.

The disciples were dumbfounded by Yuan's daring response.

Meanwhile, the disciple who just told Yuan to

”The audacity! Do you know who you are talking to? I am an Inner Court disciple! Since you are a new disciple, I won't blame you too much! However, for you to claim that you live here despite what we told you whilst being a nobody— that's spitting in the faces of everyone that lives here, which includes Fairy Min! Therefore, I am going to need you to get on your knees and apologize to her!” The Inner Court disciple stepped forward and pointed at Yuan with an overbearing aura.

”...”

Yuan was speechless. It hasn't even been half a day since he got to live life as a disciple and he's already in an awkward situation with other disciples.

”Do you hear me?! Get on your knees and apologize to Fairy Min!” The Inner Court disciple repeated, seemingly adamant about making Yuan apologize.

However, despite his humble nature, Yuan was not the type to apologize for something he didn't do, especially if the other party was being unreasonable!

”Why should I apologize? If there has truly been a mistake with my lodging, I will leave. However, you did not hand me my identification token so you don't know that, yet you are telling me to apologize. Don't be unreasonable,” Yuan said to the disciples with a slight frown on his face.

And he continued, ”If you want to continue arguing that I don't belong here, you can bring a sect elder here and we can settle it that way. Until then, I am going to stay here. Goodbye.”

Yuan turned around and opened the door with the identification token before walking inside.

”Get back here, you little bastard!”

Yuan heard an angry shout as he entered the building, but he ignored it and closed the door, leaving the people outside completely speechless, as this is the first time they have encountered an Outer Court disciple like Yuan.
