Chapter 234: Shocking News (1/2)
”Haha, Yang Wei, do you remember this elder?” The elder smiled blissfully as Yang Wei walked toward him.
Meanwhile, the people lining up started gossiping about their relationship.
”Why is Elder Xia so friendly with an outer disciple?” One of the disciples asked.
”Who knows but it's better to just stay in line. I don't wish to offend some strong background disciple for no reason.”
”Agreed, better mind my own business. You can go and ask them if you don't value your life.”
The disciples minded their own business and waited in line diligently, allowing Yang Wei to walk past them.
As Yang Wei got a good look of the elder, he held a pondering expression since he never asked for his name.
”Uhh-, you are Elder…”
”Elder Xia, you can just address me as Xia Feng if you want.” Elder Xia replied.
Yang Wei nodded his head.
He then cupped his fist, ”This disciple greets Elder Xia.”
Although he was rude in their first meeting, that doesn't mean he can be disrespectful toward him now.
”Please forgive this disciple's offense in the past as Elder Jing was in a hurry for ingredients.” Yang Wei apologized for his previous behavior.
However, Elder Xia shook his head as he chuckled softly. ”You can rest assured that I didn't keep that incident in mind. Elder Jing's behavior is well-known among us elders and we should assist her.”
Sometime later, Yang Wei asked, ”Elder Xia, weren't you working in the Treasure Hall? How come you are in the Mission Hall now?”
Elder Xia laughed as he explained his presence here. ”Every month, there will be a shift in management. Last month, I was assigned to work in the Treasure Hall and now I was reassigned here.”
”I see…”
Sometime later, Elder Xia asked, ”So Yang Wei, why are you in the Mission Hall again? I doubt Elder Jing would fire you now considering the timespan.”
”Elder Xia, I'm here to retrieve my inner disciple uniform and contribution points.” Yang Wei replied as he handed him the inner disciple token.
Elder Xia held a gawking expression at Yang Wei, almost like he had just seen a freak in his life.
'B-Barely a month and his cultivation base soared at an astounding rate. Now, he has already passed the inner disciple examination.' Elder Xia exclaimed inwardly as he stared at Yang Wei.
”Please wait a minute, disciple Yang Wei.” Elder Xia said with a stiff smile. ”I shall head inside to retrieve your things personally.”
After Elder Xia went inside the room to retrieve Yang Wei's reward, the other disciples in the Mission Hall started guessing Yang Wei's identity.
Although the name Yang Wei was infamous in the sect, not many people had actually seen his true face.
”Hey, are you the Yang Wei that had caused a storm in the outer courtyard?” One of the disciples there walked forward and asked him.
Yang Wei turned around and saw him as a youthful man.
