Chapter 128: What Does New Disciples Normally Do?

At the Sect Master’s Pagoda, Long Yijun listened to Elder Xuan briefing him about the situation with a serious expression on his face.

“Elder Yao and Disciple Yuan… what a pain in the ass…” Long Yijun rubbed his eyes with an exhausted look afterward. 

“Are you going to do anything about this, Sect Master?” Elder Xuan asked him.

After a moment of silence, Long Yijun shook his head and said, “As much as I want to beat Elder Yao for what he did to Disciple Yuan, Elder Bai has already dealt with the situation and punished Elder Yao for his behavior. I appointed Elder Bai the leader of the Disciplinary Hall for a reason, and I don’t like beating a dead horse so I am not going to step in this time.”

“I understand,” Elder Xuan nodded.

Meanwhile, back at building #70, Yuan closed the guidebook after reading through the entire thing.

“Wow, there are so many exciting places in the Dragon Essence Temple! I will definitely visit all of them when I get the chance, especially this Dragon Pavilion restaurant that’s meant for Cultivators! I wonder how it differs from the restaurants outside?” Yuan mumbled to himself.

“Hmm, it’s still too early for dinner, so I’ll look around for now.” Yuan then got off the bed and made his way outside.

“What should I do now that I am a disciple? What do disciples normally do?” Yuan pondered to himself as he went outside.

“Disciple Yuan! Please wait for a second!”

Yuan stopped walking when a clear voice resounded from behind him, causing him to turn around to see who’d just spoken.

“You are…”

To his surprise, Fairy Min was outside of her house and appeared to be the one who’d just called for him.

“How did you know my name?” Yuan asked her with raised eyebrows, as he doesn’t recall ever introducing himself to her or any of the disciples from the disciple examination.

“I accidentally overheard your conversation with Grand Elder Xuan and learned of your name. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about your relationship with the Grand Elder or what happened today.” Fairy Min spoke as she approached him.

“I see… thank you?” Yuan responded with a puzzled look on his face, as he wasn’t sure what she was up to.

‘Is she going to try and kick me out, too?’ Yuan wondered to himself.

Once Fairy Min was standing a few steps away from him, she spoke, “I haven’t introduced myself. I am Min Li from one of the Seven Legacy Family. And I would like to apologize for what happened today. Even though I didn’t know them, I should’ve stepped in and told them to stop.”

“Huh? You didn’t know them?” Yuan looked at her with wide eyes. Then why were they following her around like they were a group of close friends? Hell, they even spoke to her as though they have known each other for years!

“I know this may sound like I am bragging but when you’re coming from a family as prestigious as one of the Seven Legacy Families, there are always people like those disciples from before following me around hoping they’d benefit from me or my family, and it’s better for me to act like they are not there most of the time, hence why I didn’t tell them to go away,” Min Li explained to him after seeing his puzzled face.

“Of course, I am sure you understand my feelings since you also appear to be from a powerful family.”

“Uhh…” Yuan scratched his head with an awkward atmosphere around him, and he said, “I’m not from any powerful nor prestigious family, though.”

“Huh? You’re not?” Min Li looked at him with her eyes widened slightly from surprise.

If he doesn’t come from a powerful or influential family, why did Grand Elder Xuan protect him from Elder Yao and the Inner Court disciples, much less give him a building in this area meant for the privileged. Surely, there must be something special about him!

‘So you want to hide your real identity, huh? I will find out the truth sooner or later!’ Min Li thought to herself whilst trying her best to remain calm on the outside.

“By the way, where are you going now?” Min Li suddenly asked him.

“I honestly don’t know myself. I’ll probably just walk around until I see something interesting,” Yuan shrugged.

“Walk around until you see something interesting?” Min Li raised her neat and slender eyebrows in a puzzled manner. Why does it sound like he’s going to take a stroll around the sect like he’s at the park? Does he have that much free time on his hands? Even though he’d just become a disciple? After all, most people would be either cultivating or doing something more productive as a new disciple.

“Do you have any suggestions? What do disciples normally do when they just joined a sect?” Yuan suddenly asked her.

“Uhh… They either go to the Profound Pavilion to learn new techniques or they go to the Education Peak for lectures. However, seeing that you are at the seventh level Spirit Apprentice already, you should go to the Profound Pavilion.” Min Li gave her suggestions to him.

“Profound Pavilion, huh?” Yuan immediately began pondering.

‘I already have three sword techniques, but I only have one dagger technique, and it’s not really even a dagger technique as it’s meant for cooking instead. Maybe I should see if the Profound Pavilion will have a good dagger technique that’ll go well with the Starry Abyss…’

After pondering for a minute, Yuan has decided to go to the Profound Pavilion to search for a new dagger technique.

“Thank you, Disciple Min, for your guidance,” Yuan said to her with a bright smile, and he continued, “And you don’t worry about what happened previously since I can tell that you’re not a bad person.”

“…”

Min Li looked at his handsome smile with a slightly dazed look on her pretty face, and when she noticed that Yuan was walking away, she unconsciously shouted, “Wait! I’ll come with you, too!”
