Chapter 39：Outer Sect? (2/2)
Suddenly, a green-robed young man appeared from behind the trees. He was surprised to see the 3 of them as well. He saw a single outer disciple among the two yellow-robed females.
'Are they threatening him? Is he in trouble?'
”Junior brother, do you need any help?” he tried to see if he was being forced by them or walking on his own accord.
He looked at Meng Yun's robe and was surprised to see a blue lining. 'Inner sect disciple of Tiger Sect?' he was surprised. He doubted he could take her on if the junior disciple really needed help.
He then turned to look at Luo Mei. The moment he saw her red linings, his eyes went wide.
Alex decided to answer, ”Thank you but I don't need any help, senior brother. These fellow Daoists are taking me out of the forest since it was dangerous for me.”
”I-Is that s-so. Th-Then I s-shall take my l-leave.” He bowed towards Luo Mei a bit and ran off.
'What's up with him?' Alex was confused. Meng Yun looked at the young man running away and was surprised.
She walked up to Luo Mei and slowly whispered in her ears, ”Senior Sister, that man's robes are darker in color than this guy's.”
Luo Mei was surprised when she heard this. She immediately compared the robes and realized Alex's robes were lighter in shade. She knew what this meant.
”Daoist Yu, is that man a core disciple from your sect?” she asked.
”Hmm… I don't think so. He should be an inner disciple. ” Alex thought of nothing when he heard this question.
Luo Mei's eyes went wider, ”Then why are you calling him senior brother?”
”What else would I call an inner sect disciple? Anything else from an outer sect disciple like me would be considered disrespectful.” Alex simply replied.
Luo Mei was surprised. 'An outer sect disciple? No way. He is so talented. Even in our sect, a bone tempering realm cultivator would automatically become an inner sect disciple. How is he still an outer sect with his amazing ingredients-finding ability? Should I try to rope him in?' she thought.
”Why aren't you an inner sect disciple already Daoist Yu?” she decided to tread the waters slowly.
”I haven't completed the requirements for becoming an inner sect disciple yet.”
Luo Mei was surprised. ” A bone tempering realm cultivator like you doesn't meet the requirement? What are the requirements then?” she asked.
”Oh, I just have to make 10 different recipes mortal grade pills, that's all.” Alex didn't hide anything.
”I see… and how many have you made so far?” she asked meekly.
”Well, as of yet, only 1,” Alex replied
