Chapter 259: Malicious Scheme (1/2)

Yang Wei remained dazed for a moment before shaking his head. 'Sigh, I can never understand their mindset.'

Yang Wei sighed inwardly as he smiled at the gift that Elder Shan left behind for him to use when the time was right.

He then walked over to the outer disciples as he clasped his hand.

”First of all, how many are you going to actually follow my instructions?” Yang Wei asked once he got everyone's attention.

The outer disciples were silent as they didn't know the answer themselves.

Yang Wei wasn't upset by their response. It was only logical that they doubt themselves when their lives are on the line.

Why would they trust their life for someone who they had just met?

”You don't have to lower your head and feel ashamed. Even though Elder Shan said to listen to me, I won't restrict you guys. After all, your life is your own and not mine.” Yang Wei then walked toward a corner to wait for Elder Chen Xue's next announcement.

Meanwhile, the outer disciples started discussing among themselves whether or not to follow Yang Wei.

”I'll say, we should trust Yang Wei. Elder Shan seemed to look at him in high regards.” One of the disciples said as she gave her reasoning.

”Hmm, that's indeed logical since he's the only inner disciple among us. Also, he had explored the mystery realm and came out alive. I heard the death rate in the mystery realm was at least 90 percent.”

”Tch, you're all thinking too highly of him. I bet he just slept his way with Elder Jing and hugged her legs to survive.” Wan Ping sneered as he got their attention.

He stood up and said, ”Think about this clearly. Why would an outer disciple be qualified to join a mystery realm in the first place?”

The outer disciples gasped in surprise as they all forgot about this important factor. It was indeed a mystery why Yang Wei was able to qualify to enter such a grand event.

”Wan Ping is right. I heard that when Yang Wei first joined the sect, he was nothing more than a beggar.”

”Ah, that rumor. I thought it was a malicious rumor at first but then, other disciples that had joined at the same time as Yang Wei was saying the same thing.”

They continued to discuss further before Wan Ping held a wicked grin on his face as he stood up.

”Then I shall relay our plan to Yang Wei.” Wan Ping said confidently as he walked over toward Yang Wei.

He held a vicious glint as he snorted. ”Yang Wei, we have decided to not listen to your instructions and go our own way when we enter the Misty Forest.”

'Hmph, how dare you act arrogantly to me? I'll make sure you're stuck alone in the Misty Forest without any assistance.' Wan Ping sneered inwardly as he expected Yang Wei to be shocked by their decision.

However, Yang Wei opened his eyes slightly as he nodded his head.

”Suit yourself then.” Yang Wei gave a nonchalant reply as he closed his eyes and focused on his cultivation, not bothered by their decision.
