Chapter 194: Core Disciple (1/2)

Alex was quite surprised by how open Kong Yuhan was being about his affection towards Zhou Mi. 'He must really like her,' he thought. The student who had gone up first returned back with an equally smug look as when he went up.

”Zhou Mi,” the Elder spoke. Alex watched as Zhou Mei pat her sister on the back before sending her out. Zhou Mi walked straight to the elder and bowed. Kong Yuhan watched her with a smile on his face.

Zhou Mi wasn't smug like the first guy, only happy and had a cheerful smile as she returned back.

”Brother Yu, I will go find that disciple from earlier and ask him if he can change his house with mine, Okay?” Kong Yuhan said and was about to walk out when suddenly, he stopped mid-step and looked back with wide eyes.

The elder had just called the name 'Yu Ming' to come out. ”Brother Yu?” Kong Yuhan said as he tried to inquire, but Alex just gave him a simple smile and walked out.

”Huh? An outer core disciple?” someone was surprised.

”Wait, did he take a core disciple exam?” another person said in shock.

”Not only that, he passed it too,” another person was surprised.

Zhou Mi had just reached her sister when she looked back when she heard the name the Elder call out. ”Brother Yu?” she also shouted in surprise. The shock and surprise didn't let go of Zhou Mei either.

”It's that guy from last time. He is a core disciple now?” she said in shock. She had been in the sect for a little over 5 years now but had never seen an Outer sect disciple jump straight to Core disciple. She kept looking at him in shock as he walked to the elder.

Alex reached the Elder and bowed a little. ”You finished last minute I hear,” the Elder said in a low voice. ”Yes, Elder. Some problems came up as I was making the pills,” Alex said.

”Well, it doesn't matter. Since you passed, you are now a Core disciple. Congratulations,” the Elder said as he handed the items to Alex who quickly put them into his storage bag.

”You might live on the Sect Leader's mountain, but since you are a core disciple now, you also have a house at the core disciple's mountain. Check your new nameplate to locate your house,” the Elder said.

”Thank you, Elder.” He then bowed to the Elder once more and started walking back.

”The Tests are over. You are all dismissed,” the Elder shouted. The student didn't leave however, they kept looking at Alex in shock. He walked back to the spectator zone since that was where the way out was.

Kong Yuhan was about to step out to question him when suddenly the hoard of disciples walked forward to question him first.

”Hey brother, you are called Yu Ming, right? When did you join the sect? I have never seen you before.”

”Are you an Elder's son?”

”Did you cheat?”

”Did you come from another Alchemy school?”

”Brother, teach us how to go from Outer sect Disciple to core disciple too.”
