113 Challenging Substitute Inner Disciple (1/2)

The tasks had all been allocated, some were happy with what they got, while others were sad.

There were only a few people who had received good tasks, but the rest didn’t have any choice because they were outer disciples and newbies, the bottom class of the clan.

The most unlucky ones were Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan, whose jobs were bad and large scaled, therefore they wouldn’t even have much time to cultivate.

After announcing the tasks, the Vice Deacon closed his handbook and was about to leave.

_Ehhhhhh?_

Zhao Feng was stunned, why did everyone else have a task and not him?

Xiao Sun, Yun Mengxiang, Yang Qingshan, and Nan Gongfan all had tasks. Even though some were good and some were bad, the Vice-Deacon didn’t even mention Zhao Feng.

“Wait! Vice-Deacon!” Zhao Feng called out.

“What? I’m only responsible for announcing the tasks, the jobs you do are overlooked by others.” A dissatisfied expression appeared on the Vice Deacon’s face as he looked at Zhao Feng.

The breeze suddenly stopped. An unbearable pressure appeared and the breathing of the youths grew heavier. They finally realized that the person standing in front of them was a Vice Deacon.

There were also a bunch of people who gloated as they looked at Zhao Feng. Liu Yue’er was among them, but she still sweated for Zhao Feng.

“Can I ask Vice Deacon Wang why I didn’t get a task?” Zhao Feng’s actions were respectful and careful. He clearly knew that this person in front of him was several times stronger than Lord Guanjun.

Being a Vice Deacon, his cultivation was at least at the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm; even inner disciples wouldn’t offend him.

Zhao Feng’s words made the other youths suspicious. Why did everyone else apart from him get a task?

“What’s your name?” Vice Deacon Wang was expressionless.

“Zhao Feng.” The youth was humble and confident. He had just entered the Clan and he had no problems, so the Vice Deacon couldn’t do anything to him.

“You’re Zhao Feng?” Surprise appeared on Vice Deacon Wang’s face as he surveyed Zhao Feng in a new light.

The pressure just then also faded away. Those with good perception realized that the Vice Deacon’s expression became a bit more kind, as if Zhao Feng was important.

“Yes,” Zhao Feng answered; he didn’t expect Vice Deacon Wang to know him.

“ _Cough cough_ , because of some special reasons, your task hasn’t been decided yet.” Vice Deacon Wang squeezed out a smile.

What!?

The new disciples were all shocked, why did Vice Deacon Wang become so respectful?

There was definitely something going on when one didn’t proceed with the norm.

Zhao Feng’s eyes twinkled, but the Vice Deacon didn’t say anything more as he left.

Being a Vice Deacon, he held a high position and he was only given the job of announcing the tasks, not the details.

Xiao Sun and Princess Yun Mengxiang inspected Zhao Feng in a new light.

Zhao Feng’s performance in the second exam surprised them, but they didn’t put it at heart since his talent was only so-so. But right now, only Zhao Feng didn’t get a task.

Liu Yue’er was somewhat irritated; she was originally going to see Zhao Feng lose face, but the latter had gotten special treatment instead!

Even Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan were curious now.

Zhao Feng shook his head, meaning that he didn’t understand either.

A total of twenty-one disciples apart from Zhao Feng had all gotten their tasks. On the same day, Yang Qingshan and Nan Gongfan both went to report to the overseer.

“S***! I’m at the same place as that bastard Chen Feng. His job is much easier than mine…” Nan Gongfan’s face was green.

“The field I’m at is under Ji Fengyun’s control and my job is the hardest of all.” Yang Qingshan’s expression was also ugly.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng’s expression changed.

Chen Feng, Ji Fengyun. This meant that there was still Hou Yuan! These three were all on Quan Chen’s side.

\------

On the same day, Nan Gongfan and Yang Qingshan both went to their own sections to complete their tasks.

From the view of outsiders, it was a great glory to enter a Clan, but none of them knew that outer disciples were only the bottom of the bottom. They didn’t even get many resources. All they did was help out with the matters of the Clan.

Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what Lord Guanjun had said: “After entering the Clan, your first goal is to become an Inner Disciple, because outer disciples aren’t even important. If one or two outer disciples die, the Clan won’t even care.

“Only inner disciples will be protected and raised by the Clan. At that time, Hai Yun Master would be hard pressed to harm you.”

Outer disciples were just like ants; if some of them died, the upper positions of the Clan wouldn’t even mind. Only by becoming inner disciples would one stir the real interest of the Clan.

Because he didn’t have a task, Zhao Feng decided to see the jobs of his two brothers.
