Chapter 232 - The Wrong Subdivision? (2/2)

Yue Lin pointed out the window. ”Did he explain what subdivisions there are?”

Jing Yi shook his head. ”But I did see the buildings on the way here yesterday. Senior Martial Brother Niu Hai mentioned them.”

Yue Lin shook his head. How could one just arbitrarily decide which subdivision to choose? No, he had to explain to this Junior Martial Brother in detail so that he would become an asset to their division in the future. ”What do you know about alchemy?”

Jing Yi lowered his head and folded his hands in front of his body. ”Actually … I don't really know anything about it. I just heard it has to do with herbs and you can help people with it.”

Yue Lin lifted his brows. ”Oh. So … You came here because you want to help people.”

Jing Yi pondered and finally nodded. Yes, that had indeed been what he thought. He wanted to be of help to Qiu Ling so that he'd be able to do more for him than just bandage his wounds should something like yesterday happen again. It had just been a light injury this time but what if something more dangerous had happened? Him knowing alchemy or not could have very well been the deciding factor in whether Qiu Ling lived on died. He never wanted to be in this situation again while being helpless.

”Senior Martial Brother Yue, I know I'm making things difficult for you but isn't it possible to change the subdivision I'm in?”

Yue Lin patted his shoulder. ”Don't worry about that. There's no problem with changing that. It's partly my fault considering I just let an outsider sign you in. Something like this was bound to happen. I asked just now because I wanted to know which subdivision would fit you best. Hearing your answer I guess you'd best be suited to our House of Healing.”

Jing Yi smiled gratefully. ”Thank you very much, Senior Martial Brother Yue.”

Yue Lin nodded and went back to his desk. He put the scrolls of paper to the side and picked up the book and a brush. Then, he crossed out Jing Yi's name from the poison subdivision and blew the ink dry. Lastly, he wrote it under the House of Healing's subdivision.

”Alright, everything is done. You're now a fringe disciple under the command of the House of Healing and its Elder Xie.”

”Thank you very much, Senior Martial Brother Yue. Then, what should I do now? Can I just go over?”

Yue Lin wanted to nod but halted before actually saying anything. He took a closer look at Jing Yi and sighed. ”How did they admit you to the sect? You're not even wearing the official robes!”

Jing Yi could only smile wryly. He certainly couldn't say that Qiu Ling had forced his way in. ”Well, I only arrived the day before yesterday.”

Yue Lin nodded and stood up again. ”Alright, if that's the case I'll help you organize everything. First of all, you will need an appropriate robe.” He left the room and waved Jing Yi with him. Both of them didn't notice the wisp of black smoke that was trailing them.
