Chapter 27 Entering the Inner Sect

At this moment, there were already six old men sitting at the tea tables on both sides of the hall. When they saw Li Qingyu bring Fang Chen and Old Fang in, they quickly stood up and looked at Li Qingyu. It was obvious that they were asking Li Qingyu about Fang Chen and Old Fang’s identities.

Li Qingyu nodded at them and introduced them to Fang Chen and Old Fang. “Fang Chen, the people here are all elders of our Whole Unitary Sect. Only the few of us and Elder Xu Mianfeng know your identity.”

Fang Chen hurriedly said politely, “Greetings, elders. In the future, I’ll have to rely on your guidance in the sect.”

“The prince is too polite. As long as the prince needs it, we will definitely try our best to cooperate. We will definitely not neglect it.” The elders quickly replied politely. None of them dared to be arrogant.

After all, the Whole Unitary Sect was under the rule of the Northern Heavens. Even if they were all experts of the sect, strictly speaking, they were still citizens, and Fang Chen was the young master of the Northern Heavens.

After the elders finished speaking, they did not forget to nod at Old Fang to express their goodwill. It was obvious that they were all experienced individuals. They were all afraid that Old Fang would be an expert arranged by the King of Zhenbei.

Seeing that both parties had greeted each other, Li Qingyu said to an ordinary-looking and tall old man, “Elder Zuo, Fang Chen has entered the sect. There’s no need for the conventional process of acknowledging him as a master. He will directly become my final disciple and enter the inner sect. Bring him to settle the procedures for entering the sect. Find a small courtyard to accomodate him.”

Then, Li Qingyu said to Fang Chen, “Fang Chen, if you enter the sect, you’ll be different from ordinary disciples. There are many people in the sect. Under the circumstances that your identity can’t be exposed, there will definitely be some people who are dissatisfied with this. Although we’ll try our best to stop trouble for you, if you don’t deal with it in time, you must not be rash. Just leave it to us to deal with.”

After that, Li Qingyu looked at Old Fang and said, “Brother, although our Whole Unitary Sect doesn’t have any rules, we still have to restrain others after all. Therefore, it’s best that you don’t wander around the sect anymore, lest others hurt Fang Chen because of this matter. Please tell Elder Zuo that we’ll make other arrangements.”

Fang Chen and Old Fang both nodded.

After explaining everything, Fang Chen and Old Fang followed Elder Zuo out of the Central Conference Hall.

The process for newcomers to enter the sect was nothing more than to register their identities and receive the sect-made clothes and daily necessities. As Elder Zuo walked, he also explained some general knowledge in more detail.

“Fang Chen, other than giving out two sets of sect clothes when entering the sect, the support pavilion will give out another set every half a year. If it’s accidentally damaged midway, you have to spend money to buy it from the support pavilion. In addition, the Supply Pavilion would distribute cultivation resources on the 15th of every month. The inner sect disciples would also distribute a certain amount of resources according to the cultivation progress. You will understand this in the future.

The sect missions in the Merit Hall include internal missions and field missions. These missions can earn extra money and obtain sect points in exchange for special cultivation resources…”

When Fang Chen and Old Fang entered the small courtyard that the sect had arranged for them, they were very satisfied.

The small courtyard was located in a small area in the inner sect. Although it was small, it had everything. It was said that this was a benefit that only sect managers could enjoy.

“Young Master, I like this place. Every day, I can get someone to send fresh vegetables to cook for me. I can also get someone from the dining hall to send food over. I really didn’t expect to come out with Young Master to enjoy life,” Old Fang looked around the small courtyard and said in satisfaction.

“Of course. If you follow me, you won’t be at a disadvantage.” Fang Chen was smug. This feeling of being treated specially was really quite good.

“Alright, Young Master. Let’s rest well today. From tomorrow onwards, as long as Young Master arranges for others to send me good food every day, I’ll accompany Young Master in peace. I want to see Young Master shock the world with my own eyes and become a martial arts expert.” Old Fang bared his yellow teeth and chuckled.

“Hehe, I like what you’re saying. Don’t worry, it’s nothing more than spending some money on the dining hall. I guarantee that you’ll have enough wine and meat every day.” Fang Chen smiled happily. He was already looking forward to the martial arts journey that was about to begin.

After the two of them chose a room to rest, the elders in the sect’s meeting hall dispersed. However, an outer sect elder did not leave directly. He asked Li Qingyu, “Sect Master, if Fang Chen enters the inner sect directly, the inner sect slots will be full. What should we do about Yang He’s promotion to the inner

sect?”

Li Qingyu said casually, “Fang Chen’s situation is special, so he doesn’t take up a spot in the inner sect. As for Yang He, he’s hardworking, but his talent is still lacking. Let’s talk about advancing to the inner sect when he breaks through to the seventh-grade.”

Liu Qi nodded and understood what the Sect Master meant. Then, he left the meeting hall.

Li Qingyu did not see everyone disperse. He walked out of the meeting hall and looked towards the north with a complicated expression. He muttered, “Fang Tianhuai, you’ve caused me a lot of trouble…”

“Father, what trouble are you talking about? Don’t tell me you’re talking about your new disciple?” Suddenly, a voice was heard behind Li Qingyu.

Li Qingyu turned around and saw that it was his only daughter, Li Sha. If it was a stranger, they probably would not think that they were biological father and daughter.

Not only was Li Sha beautiful, but her figure was also slender and graceful. She was a stark contrast to Li Qingyu.

When he saw her daughter, a smile immediately appeared on Li Qingyu’s face. “Why are you so well-informed? I just took in a disciple and you already know.”

“That’s a must. When I heard the news, I wanted to see who it was that actually obtained Father’s favor and became his disciple. I might even have to personally test his strength,” Li Sha replied haughtily.

“What?” Li Qingyu was instantly shocked and hurriedly said, “Shasha, Father is warning you. That disciple of mine has just started practicing martial arts and can’t stand your torture. Also, remember, in the sect, you have to help him as much as possible and build a good relationship with him. After all, he’s Father’s disciple. As his direct senior sister, you have the obligation to take care of him.”

“Father, are you taking too much care of this disciple? Don’t tell me he’s your illegitimate son or something?” Li Sha stared at Li Qingyu. This was the first time she had seen her father so nervous about taking care of others.

Li Qingyu was speechless.

At the same time, the news that Fang Chen had entered the sect and was personally welcomed by the sect master had spread throughout the sect.

There were hundreds of people in the whole Unitary Sect, and almost half of them were outer sect disciples. The more people there were, the more gossip there would be. The sect’s big and small matters would first cause waves in the outer sect. At this moment, Fang Chen’s news was the hottest topic among the outer sect disciples.

Word spread like wildfire. Soon, several versions of Fang Chen’s identity and background appeared in the outer sect. Rumors about the illegitimate son of the sect master, the illegitimate son of an elder, and so on became more and more ridiculous.
