Chapter 3665: Unresolved Grudge

“Fourth Junior Brother, did something happen?”

A figure flew out of the building and appeared in front of Meng Xing Hen in just the blink of an eye. It was none other than Tu Feng who had gone to Hidden Fog Academy to express his master’s intention of accepting Duan Ling Tian as a disciple to Duan Ling Tian. After being rejected by Duan Ling Tian, he held a grudge against Duan Ling Tian. He hated Duan Ling Tian to the point where he wished Duan Ling Tian would die before joining the Hidden Fog Sect.

“Eldest Senior Brother, do you still remember Duan Ling Tian, the strongest Ten Stars student from the Hidden Fog Academy who broke the record by accumulating 120,000 points during the Ten Star students’ trial?” Meng Xing Hen asked.

Tu Feng and Meng Xing Hen, who had met Duan Ling Tian once, were shocked when they heard about Duan Ling Tian’s outstanding performance during the Ten Stars students’ trial. Moreover, Duan Ling Tian even survived multiple assassination attempts from the various king-rank forces in Skywind City during the trial.

“How can I not remember him?” Tu Feng said as his eyes glinted coldly, “I heard from our master that Vice Sect Leader Murong recommended that he be allowed to join our sect ahead of time as an inner disciple. In fact, Vice Sect Leader Murong had suggested that he be made a core disciple. I didn’t expect him to arrive so soon.”

“Eldest Senior Brother,” Meng Xing Hen said grimly, “Duan Ling Tian is now an inner disciple. I know you don’t like him, but it’s best that you don’t act against him for now. You should know about the sect’s rules…”

Meng Xing Hen was worried his hot-headed senior brother would get into trouble.

“I know,” Tu Feng said impatiently, “Did you come only to tell me about this?”

“Yes.” Meng Xing Ku smiled wryly. Not only did he come to inform Tu Feng about Duan Ling Tian’s arrival, but he had come to remind Tu Feng not to act recklessly. Otherwise, their master might not even be able to save Tu Feng from the consequences of breaking the sect’s rules.

“In any case, I’m not stupid,” Tu Feng said contemptuously, “Since he has joined the sect, I naturally have ways to deal with him without having to make a move myself. In fact, he’s not worthy of me personally making a move.”

Although Tu Feng was not a core disciple, he was rather popular. This was due to his status as a disciple of the second elder of the Hidden Fog Sect and his cultivation base that was of a King of Gods. After all, a rudimentary King of Gods younger than 10,000 years old was rare among the inner disciples.

“That’s great.” Meng Xing Hen heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Tu Feng’s words.

“If there’s nothing else, you should cultivate harder so you can break through. Otherwise, it won’t be long before Duan Ling Tian surpasses you,” Tu Feng said dismissively before he left.

Meng Xing Hen watched helplessly as Tu Feng flew into the distance instead of returning to his residence. He knew Tu Feng was already plotting against Duan Ling Tian. After all, he was very familiar with Tu Feng. After being humiliated by Duan Ling Tian, Tu Feng had been holding a grudge against Duan Ling Tian. At that time, there was nothing Tu Feng could do since Duan Ling Tian was in the Hidden Fog Academy. Now that Duan Ling Tian was in the Hidden Fog Sect, he knew Tu Feng would definitely not let go of this chance to seek revenge.

“I hope that Eldest Senior Brother won’t go overboard. It’s rare that Vice Sect Leader Murong placed such great importance on a disciple. He even made two recommendations. It’s clear he thinks highly of Duan Ling Tian,” Meng Xing Hen muttered to himself before he returned to his residence.

Since Tu Feng and Meng Xing Hen were disciples of the second elder, their residences were near their master’s.

…

As they made their way to the inner disciples’ cultivation ground, Tang Wu Yan continued pointing out buildings to Duan Ling Tian.

“That’s where the fourth elders and his disciples live. High-ranking officials in the sect usually live very close to their disciples and relatives since it’s more convenient. Most of the inner disciples living in the cultivation ground don’t have masters in the sect. Some of them won’t accept a master unless it’s a high-ranking official of the sect. There are also the arrogant ones who think even the high-ranking officials aren’t qualified to be their masters. The majority of the inner disciples there are without masters because their performances were deemed ordinary. Moreover, the high-ranking officials also think the inner disciples are beneath them,” Tang Wu Yan said. Then, she glanced at Duan Ling Tian before she sighed and asked, “Although the Vice Sect Leader recommended you twice, he didn’t express his wish to accept you as a disciple, right?”

Duan Ling Tian nodded.

“Do you know why?” Tang Wu Yan asked. Without waiting for Duan Ling Tian’s reply, she continued to say, “Based on your innate talent and comprehension skills, many supreme elders and guardians with the same status as Vice Sect Leader Murong would be more than happy to accept you as their disciple. Have you wondered why that’s not the case for Vice Sect Leader Murong?”

“Why?” Duan Ling Tian asked. In fact, he had wondered about this matter as well. Before he had met Murong Sui Feng for the first time, he was already prepared to refuse Murong Sui Feng when Murong Sui Feng expressed his wish to accept him as a disciple. However, to his surprise, Murong Sui Feng did not bring up this matter at all. He wondered if Murong Sui Feng knew he had rejected Tu Feng’s master, hence, Murong Sui Feng did not bother asking him to become his disciple. However, based on Tang Wu Yan’s words, that was clearly not the case.

“Vice Sect Leader had a disciple he cared about a lot. However, when his disciple passed away, he vowed that he would never accept another disciple in his life,” Tang Wu Yan said with a hint of reverence in her voice, “Although he didn’t swear on the Devil Heart’s Blood Oath, my granduncle said that it’s unlikely he’d accept another disciple again.”

She paused for a moment before she said, “Duan Ling Tian, once news of you arriving at the sect spreads, the supreme elders and guardians will surely try to get you to become their disciples. You should consider the matter of who you’re going to accept as a master carefully. After all, there are many factions in the sect. If you ask me, I think you should join the Skywind City’s Progeny since that’s where you came from. They’ll definitely take great care of you.”

Although Tang Wu Yan was not from Skywind City, she had joined the Skywind City’s First Progeny because of Tang Chun.

“The other progenies will also take great care of you. However, it’d take some time since they’d be wary of you in the beginning. In any case, this is just my suggestion. The choice is still in your hands. The Skywind City’s First Progeny won’t target you even if you decided not to join us. After all, we’re all from the sect.”

Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly upon hearing Tang Wu Yan’s words. “Thanks for the suggestion.”

When they arrived near a mountain range, Tang Wu Yan looked into the distance and said, “The inner disciples’ cultivation ground is behind the mountain peak. There are a few thousand inner disciples in the sect. About 20% of them are disciples of high-ranking officials. The majority of the inner disciples usually cultivate in the cultivation ground. Apart from that, some might have left the sect to cultivate outside while some older inner disciples are outside helping the sect manage its affairs. Hence, there are usually about 1,000 inner disciples at the cultivation ground.”

After passing through the mountain range, the duo arrived in front of a valley. The ground was uneven, and stone houses and wooden houses of different sizes and shapes were scattered everywhere. It seemed like the houses were built by the disciples themselves.

“These houses were built by the inner disciples… Those covered in cobwebs are unoccupied. You can choose to clean it and stay there or you can build your own place,” Tang Wu Yan said, “You can find out more about your responsibility as an inner disciple through the Memory Jade Token given to you during the registration. If there’s anything you’re unsure of, you can speak to me.”

After saying that, she handed her Soul Pearl over to Duan Ling Tian.

“Thank you.” After putting away her Soul Pearl, Duan Ling Tian handed his Soul Pearl to her as well. “Thanks for showing me around today. If you need my help, please feel free to speak to me..”
