Chapter 159: First Elder (1/2)

Alex opened his eyes back in house number 86 and looked at the time. It was close to 4 pm so he checked his badge to see if anyone else had registered a fight with him.

Thankfully, after the last match, nobody dared to register a fight against him. They had learned what he did to a core disciple and had thus left him alone. ”I wonder if the poor guy at the 18th rank right now is fighting a core disciple right now,” he wondered and chuckled to himself.

Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. ”Who?” he wondered and sent out his spiritual sense. Outside of the door were two people. One male and one female.

The female was a young woman wearing a yellow robe with orange linings, and the man was wearing yellow robes with silver linings. ”A Core disciple and an Elder?” he was surprised.

He walked to the front door and opened it. He acted surprised when he saw the two as if he didn't know who was outside. ”Greetings Elder, senior sister. Can I help you with something?”

”Hello,” the girl said with a jumpiness in her voice.

”You must be Yu Ming, am I correct?” the Elder asked.

”Yes, Elder,” Alex replied.

”Do you know who I am?” the Elder asked.

Alex looked at the elder closely. He couldn't remember seeing any bald Elder before this, especially not one that had no facial hair either. ”This is my first time meeting Elder, so please forgive this disciple for not recognizing who you are.”

”I see. So, you must really be new here.” The Elder spoke as he kept on nodding to himself. The girl beside him was also nodding continuously.

”Yes Elder, I only joined 2 weeks ago,” Alex replied.

”Just 2 weeks ago? And already so much progress. You must be really talented. Do you have a master?” the Elder asked.

Alex was about to answer when he realized that his master had told him to not reveal their relationship yet. 'He did that to make sure I don't get targeted by the other elders. Should I keep lying?' he thought.

”No, I don't, Elder,” Alex replied.

”Oh, good, good,” the Elder said with a smile. ”Then, do you want to be my disciple?” he asked.

Alex was shocked. 'He came here to make me his disciple?' he thought in surprise. The Elder continued, ”I saw your match with Huo Tu today. You have a lot of potential. Come under my wing and I will teach you how to soar to the heavens.”

The Elder had a face of pride as he said that. Alex couldn't think of any answer for his invite. So, he decided to just refuse directly.

”I'm sorry Elder. But, I am not looking for any Masters at the moment.” Alex tried to reject as politely as he could.
