Xiong Hu smiled happily as he cupped his fist. "Many thanks to Yang Wei for epting the duel."


    Yang Wei cupped his fist in return. "It''s my honor to fight against a fellow disciple so there''s nothing to thank me for."


    "When shall we have the duel then?" Xiong Hu asked.


    Yang Wei pondered for a moment as he tried to reorganize his thought process in his schedule.


    After a while, Yang Wei showed his hand with three fingers.


    "Three days?" Xiong Hu asked.


    Yang Wei shook his head, "Three weeks. We will meet in the arena for the duel in three weeks."


    Xiong Hu and the rest of the disciples inside the Mission Hall became dumbfounded by Yang Wei''s time slot.


    "Three weeks? Who would waste that much time for a simple duel?"


    "Is Yang Wei trolling Xiong Hu right now?"


    The disciples started whispering among themselves about the time that Yang Wei decided on.


    Meanwhile, Xiong Hu took a deep breath as he nodded his head. "Three weekster then."


    Afterward, he turned around and prepared to leave the Mission Hall as he shouted, "I''ll be in seclusion in these three weeks to prepare for this duel so anyone that wishes to find me at this time can wait otherwise, don''t me me for crippling you."


    Yang Wei nced at the vanishing sight of Xiong Hu before turning around as he smiled lightly.


    "Elder Xia, you have been inside eavesdropping on our conversation for a long time. Shouldn''t youe out and hand this disciple his rewards already?" Yang Wei teased.


    "Haha, Yang Wei''s intuition is really frightening." Elder Xia chuckled softly as he came out and met his eyes.


    Yang Wei smirked as he shrugged his shoulders.


    "What is your rtionship with Xiong Hu?" He then asked.


    Elder Xia ced the uniform and his token down on the counter.


    "Xiong Hu hade to me once to find him a suitable opponent to fight. I was helpless since there weren''t any opponents until-"


    "Until you saw meing in today right?" Yang Wei finished his sentence for him.


    Elder Xia smiled as he nodded his head.


    "Indeed, I have called for Xiong Hu while being inside the room and waited for your response." Elder Xia said as he continued.


    "However, you can rest assured that I''m not trying to target you or anything. I have received permission to do so."


    Yang Wei raised an eyebrow at his words. ''Elder Xia had received permission but from who? I-It can''t be her right…''


    Yang Wei stared at Elder Xia as he opened his mouth and whispered softly. "Did Elder Jing approve this?"


    Elder Xia gave a slight nod as he shrugged his shoulders. "Originally, I was expecting a refusal but Elder Jing said that you needed more fighting experience."


    "I see…" Yang Wei stopped questioning him further as he grabbed his items and left the Mission Hall.


    Sometimeter, Yang Wei returned to Elder Jing''s courtyard as he nced at the contribution points in his token.


    "5,795 contribution points…" Yang Wei mumbled softly as he wondered what he could obtain from it.


    Suddenly, Yang Wei noticed hismunication device started vibrating in his storage ring.


    Taking it out, Yang Wei activated themunication device and a voice resounded from it.


    "Yang Wei, are you prepared for the duel against Xiong Hu?"


    Yang Wei smiled as he snickered. "Aren''t you a pretty scary mastermind, Jing Feng?"


    And he continued, "Even though you are away from the sect at the moment, you could still manage to create some obstacles for me."


    Yang Wei could hear Elder Jing''sughing through themunication device when she heard his remark.


    "Well, are you angry though?" Elder Jing then asked.


    "No- not at all to be honest. I wanted to fight against someone on a simr level as me to test my strength." Yang Wei replied.


    The only scary part that Yang Wei felt was that his mindset had been predicted by Elder Jing.


    It seemed like Elder Jing knew he was searching for a good opponent to test his technique but could never find a decent one.


    "Anyway, I called you because Elder Shan needed you to go to the Disciplinary Hall in regards to Elder Guo." Elder Jing exined.


    Meanwhile, Yang Wei became dumbfounded as he took a few moments to recall Elder Guo''s name.


    ''Elder Guo… wasn''t he that senile old man that ispletely unreasonable and ridiculous?'' Yang Wei sneered inwardly as he still remembered his behavior toward him.


    Although he was an elder, he was unqualified for the job and waspletely biased despite the facts being proven.


    "Why does Elder Shan need my appearance when it''s about Elder Guo''s punishment?" Yang Wei asked shortly after.


    The punishment for Elder Guo had been decided when Elder Jing came to pick him up to meet with Kong Yusheng.


    "I don''t know the details much since it''s the Disciplinary Hall scandal but Elder Shan mentioned you are the prime witness and that you needed to be present in his trial." Elder Jing replied as she shut themunication device.


    Yang Wei was rendered speechless when he got hung up by Elder Jing.


    "Why do I feel like I''m being toyed around by Jing Feng?" Yang Wei muttered before getting up.


    "I''m really being toyed by her- just wait till my cultivation surpasses you." He then sighed as he knew Elder Jing being with him was over his league.


    Hence, he needed to prove himself worthy enough to stand next to Elder Jing and at the same time, search for the culprit that caused him misery for 15 years.


    ''It''s only until now that I remember it was other people in the crowd proiming him as a Qi Condensation realm cultivator and not based on my senses.'' Yang Wei eximed inwardly as he found out there are more mysteries behind his parent''s death.


    Sometimeter, Yang Wei arrived at the Disciplinary Hall where the guards allowed him entry and informed Yang Wei that Elder Shan had been waiting for him.
