Chapter 232 - The Wrong Subdivision? (1/2)
Said demons were already working on their own mission at that point in time. Xiao Li stood behind the edge of one of the buildings in the Alchemy division and observed Jing Yi who was entering the main building right now.
”So you're a disciple of the Alchemy division.” He narrowed his eyes and took a look around. As Elder Shan's disciple, he wasn't part of any division. Thus, he had never seen the alchemy division from within. But he had been a direct disciple long enough to know that the first place you should look for information on a new disciple would be the book where the disciples of the subdivisions were recorded.
Xiao Li smiled sinisterly. The book would definitely be in the main building that the boy had just entered. He could follow him while looking for it and might even find out something more.
Once again his body turned into a wisp of smoke. It flew into the building and followed Jing Yi's steps to the small study.
Jing Yi was standing in the doorway and softly called out even though nobody else could be seen. ”Senior Martial Brother Yue?”
From the desk on the other side, a soft rustle could be heard. Finally, some black strands of hair appeared between the scrolls of paper before the rest of the head followed. Yue Lin blinked tiredly and rubbed his eyes. ”You are …?”
Jing Yi smiled, cupped his fists and bowed slightly. ”I'm Jing Yi. Senior Martial Brother Niu Hai brought me over yesterday to register for the alchemy division.” He pointed at the book that was still lying at the corner of Yue Lin's desk.
Yue Lin picked it up and browsed through the pages. ”What's your name?”
”Jing … Jing He.”
Yue Lin flipped further through the book, before finally tapping on one of the pages. ”So you want to become part of the poison subdivision.”
Jing Yi's eyes went wide and he hastily shook his head. ”No, no! I don't want that. Didn't he register me for the general Alchemy division?”
Yue Lin sighed. He really didn't have the time to educate some newcomer. ”It doesn't work like that. You can only become a disciple of the whole Alchemy division if you have notable talent. I doubt you were tested for that.”
Jing Yi lowered his head. How could he have notable talent for alchemy? He couldn't even read more than ten characters! ”Then … I definitely have to become part of the poison subdivision? There's no other choice?”
Yue Lin looked up and wanted to nod but looking at the cute junior in front of him he didn't feel as annoyed anymore. He sighed and stood up. He slowly stretched his limbs and motioned for Jing Yi to come closer.
Jing Yi bit his lower lip and hurried over. He had already seen the day before how busy Yue Lin was with his work. He felt bad about disturbing him again and even adding to his workload. Maybe he should have accepted being part of the poison subdivision? After all, he wouldn't stay in the Hei Dian Sect for much longer.
