Chapter 248: Ambition (1/2)

Alex looked at the man in front of him. He was a couple of years older than him, not much, and had a stoic-looking emotionless face that was cleanly shaven.

The most surprising thing about him to Alex however was the orange linings on his yellow robes. 'A Core disciple? Of course, that makes sense,' Alex thought.

He didn't remember seeing the man anywhere in the sect before, so the man shouldn't remember him at all. 'To be fair, I didn't see very many core disciples in the sect,' he thought.

The man looked at Alex for a single moment before ignoring him. He didn't care about anyone else at all. He started walking down the stairs and soon went past Alex.

Alex secretly checked his cultivation base and nearly missed a step of stairs in surprise. 'Holy sh*t. 3rd Mind Tempering realm? That's nearly as strong as Senior sister. The core disciples of Tiger sect are no joke,' Alex thought.

As he turned away from the guy, a girl walked past him. ”Brother wait for me, don't walk out so fast,” the girl said as she tried to catch up to the man.

'Sh*t,' Alex thought. He quickened up his pace to hide inside, but suddenly, a hand fell onto his shoulders stopping him in place.

”Hey mister, wait for a second,” the girl stopped him. ”Can you turn around?” she said. Ning sighed. He didn't know if he should turn around or not.

In the end, it would be more suspicious to just keep walking, so he turned around. ”Can I help you with something?” he asked.

”YOU!” the girl said in surprise. ”I thought I recognized you, but how could it be you?” She said in surprise.  She looked all over his body and asked,” W-Why are you wearing this uniform? Where is your Tiger Sect uniform?”

'Sigh, Master made us go separately so that I didn't have to face this same situation, and yet, here we are,' he thought. He looked at the girl in front of him. The twin-tailed cheerful girl, he recognized her very well.

'She's the First Elder's disciple, right? She came with him to recruit me. Which mean…' Alex's eyes moved past her to the young man behind her who had stopped to see what his junior sister was doing with this man.

'Du Yuhan, Number 2 of the Tiger sect. He had finally met the second-best disciple of the Tiger sect.' Alex looked at him a bit and thought, 'His reputation suits him.'

”Hey, I am talking to you,” the girl said. ”What are you doing in these robes? Who did you even come with? I didn't see you on the ship?”

”I am a disciple of the Hong Wu Sect. Is there anything wrong with me wearing these robes?” he asked.

”What? What are you talking about? Did you leave the tiger sect? Is that why nobody has seen you this last week?” she asked
