The disciples were surprised when the sect leader called for Yang Wei to stay longer.


    However, they didn''t dare to linger further as they wished to head toward the Treasure Hall to receive their reward as soon as possible.


    Lian Xinyue was among them but she wanted to stay for the gossip until hermunication device suddenly started blinking.


    Lian Xinyue took hermunication device out and realized it was her grandfather.


    "Grandfather, why are you calling for me?" Lian Xinyue activated themunication device and asked.


    "Haha Little Lian, I have gotten some good information about the sect wanting to open another core disciple slot. Quicklye over so we can discuss it." Lian Xinyue''s grandfather said in excitement.


    Lian Xinyue was dumbfounded by the sudden decision of the sect in opening another core disciple slot.


    After all, core disciples are treated differently and most of them are even more powerful than sect elders, meaning having a new core disciple slot would use up a lot more resources from the sect and that there could be a change in power within the sect.


    Nevertheless, Lian Xinyue nodded her head as she quickly headed toward her grandfather''s courtyard.


    Meanwhile, back inside the Lecture Hall, Yang Wei held a dazed expression as he didn''t know why the sect leader would want him to stay.


    Kong Yusheng smiled at Yang Wei and said, "You don''t have to be scared or anything. I simply wanted to know what could possibly make Little Jing rate someone very highly for the first time."


    And he continued, "You know- Little Jing has always been cold and distant toward a man so it came to a surprise when she personally requested me to save a spot for you in the mystery realm."


    Yang Wei held a gawking expression at Kong Yusheng as he didn''t know Elder Jing would rate him so high.


    "Stop it, sect leader, I told you to keep it a secret," Elder Jing pouted as she reprimanded Kong Yusheng who simply stroked his beard in amusement.


    "Haha, it wouldn''t be amusing if I had kept it a secret from Yang Wei when I get to see you being embarrassed about something." Kong Yushengughed heartily.


    After some more teasing at Elder Jing, Kong Yusheng went back to the main topic and asked, "Yang Wei, have you heard of the ranking chart yet?"


    Yang Wei pondered for a moment before recalling the person he thrashed mentioned something about being ranked 56th in some ranking.


    Thus, Yang Wei nodded his head and said, "I heard that the outer disciples have some ranking that determines their strength but that''s it."


    "Then do you know about how to get into the ranking?"


    "Umm- not really. I only heard about it yesterday because someone tried to pick a fight with me and he was in some ranking."


    Yang Wei answered truthfully since there was no point in hiding when Kong Yusheng could easily investigate with one word of his.


    Not to mention, the leader of the Disciplinary Hall, Elder Shan was present and Yang Wei was sure she was going to inform Kong Yusheng something regarding Elder Guo''s conduct.


    Meanwhile, Kong Yusheng became intrigued as he remembered Yang Wei was not in the sect for long before he was sent to the mystery realm with Elder Jing and the rest.


    "Oh, who was the disciple that picked a fight with you?" Kong Yusheng stared at Yang Wei and asked kindly.


    Before Yang Wei had a chance to answer him, Elder Shan spoke, "It was Xia Tingfeng who was ranked 56th, and not only did Yang Wei demolish him, he also looted Xia Tingfeng''s itemspletely while stripping him stark naked."


    Elder Jing raised her eyebrow in surprise when she heard this piece of information.


    Elder Shan also saw Elder Jing''s reaction as she startedughing. "Elder Jing truly found a great medicine boy for the first time. Yang Wei has the courage and audacity to loot a fellow disciple inside the sect without fearing for any consequences."


    "Hmph, it was clearly Xia Tingfeng''s fault since Yang Wei does not pick a fight randomly for no reason." Elder Jing quickly defended Yang Wei and approved of his conduct.


    Elder Shan narrowed her gaze as she became more suspicious about her rtionship with Yang Wei.


    "Say- Elder Jing, are you and Yang Wei in a romantic rtionship?" Elder Shan suddenly asked, causing Yang Wei to shudder for a moment.


    However, he quickly rposed himself, hoping to not be suspicious.


    Kong Yusheng saw the scene happening as he coughed lightly and said, "Since Yang Wei knows about the ranking chart then I should say this once."


    "To be an inner disciple of the Swift Feather Sect, one must be at the top 10 in the outer disciple ranking chart and pass the inner disciple examination to be an inner disciple."


    Elder Shan pouted slightly when she realized the sect leader had purposefully changed the topic to avoid discussing Elder Jing''s rtionship.


    s, there was nothing she could do besides epting this fact since the sect leader has always been biased toward Elder Jing for some reason.


    "I understand, sect leader," Yang Wei bowed slightly when Kong Yusheng continued to exin the process for him, something that should have been impossible for an outer disciple like him.


    "Alright then, I should leave now since I have more tasks in hand." Kong Yusheng then left the area in an instant.


    "What are you still doing here, Elder Shan?" Elder Jing red at her when Kong Yusheng had left the area already.


    "I still need Yang Wei to be in the Disciplinary Hall to clear up some mess." Elder Shan said enchantingly as she walked toward Yang Wei.


    However, Elder Jing extended her hand to block her from advancing forward.


    "Heh, are you scared that I will eat up Yang Wei?" Elder Shan teased.


    "For a vixen like you- yes, I''m afraid Yang Wei would be corrupted by you." Elder Jing said in a cold tone.
