Chapter 610: A Foolish Disciple? (1/2)

Lin Mu and Jing Luo became a bit confused the moment they saw the disciple appraising them. They were originally going to seize the identity tokens of these disciples with the hope that there would be one of them that could allow them to pass through the barrier.

While Jing Luo could unlock this one on his own as well, it would take him a few extra minutes that they did not really have. Thus, this would be the fastest way for them to progress further.

But then this disciple who was wearing the robes of the inner court approach them with a smile on his face.

”Would honored guests allow me to provide some help?” the Disciple asked.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes and scanned the disciple with his spirit sense, finding that he was the early stage of the core condensation realm. He didn't know what to do, but then thought of going along with it.

He gestured to Jing Luo to pause before speaking.

”We want to go past this place but we have been given the wrong kind of token it seems.” Lin Mu flashed the token that they had.

”Tsk tsk~ Seems like the disciples at the registry messed up again. Let me help the honored guests then,” The disciple replied.

”Oh! That would be really nice.” Lin Mu said, feeling surprised.

”Please, the honor is all mine. The sect would be losing its credibility if I let honored guests be displeased.” The disciple stated.

He then took out his own token and waved it at the barrier, which then opened up a gate for them.

Jing Luo was honestly quite stunned by this and had not expected this to happen. He had been ready to fight and get the identity token, but now they had been mistaken for 'Honored Guests' somehow.

He didn't know whether this disciple was truly mistaken or was acting pragmatically to save himself and his fellow disciples.

Lin Mu on the other hand, nodded his head and went through the gate along with Little Shrubby and Jing Luo.

~thud~

”Take this as a gift,” Lin Mu said as he threw a fist sized stone to the disciple from past the gate.

The disciple caught it and did not recognize what it was first. But then he could feel the spirit Qi from the stone entering his hand.

”M-Mid grade spirit stone? This is a mid grade spirit stone? There can be a mid grade spirit stone of this SIZE?” The disciple couldn't help but say.

His fellow disciples, who were hesitant to approach Lin Mu were stunned as well.

”Dammit! We should have gone forward to help instead.” They couldn't help but regret it.

But just as Lin Mu and Jing Luo had left the area, a group of Nascent Soul realm elders arrived at the scene. The disciple who had helped Lin Mu proceed was showing off the spirit stone to his companions and bragging.

”See! You guys just don't know when to take an opportunity.” The disciple said.

”Humph! We just didn't go talk to them since we didn't know who they were.” One of the other disciples stated.
