Chapter 2192 - 2151: Promotion to the Outer Sect

Wang Xiaoqiang admired Xue Tiancheng, yet he secretly smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that considering your brother was understandable, but you should also consider my feelings. You, as an Entry-Level Disciple, have killed several of my Outer Sect Disciples, even Tu Dalong, such a distinguished figure, has been slain. How am I, as the Sect Master, supposed to maintain my dignity?

If he doesn't bring Wang Xiaoqiang into the Outer Sect now, Xue Tiancheng would have no face to meet anyone. He pondered for a moment, pointed at Little Zhang, and asked, "What's your brother's name?"

"His name is Little Zhang," Wang Xiaoqiang replied, internally filled with expectations and delight, wondering if Xue Tiancheng would also bring Little Zhang into the Outer Sect.

Little Zhang also gazed at Xue Tiancheng with a face full of anticipation.

Xue Tiancheng gazed at Little Zhang thoughtfully and said, "Little Zhang... alas... it's a pity you've just reached the Heavenly Being Stage, and haven't even condensed a Divine Spirit. To break the rule and accept you, you must reach the Two Spirits of Heavenly Beings Stage. It won't do..."

Hearing Xue Tiancheng say it won't do, both Wang Xiaoqiang and Little Zhang were deeply disappointed, and Little Zhang's face showed more despair. But he quickly recovered, smiled, and said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "Brother Qiang, don't worry about me. You should go to the Outer Sect, with you watching over, no one would dare bully me..."

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "That won't do, your cultivation has stagnated since entering the sect, falling far behind others. Even if not bullied, ridicule is unavoidable in the entry region; I must stay to help you upgrade."

Wang Xiaoqiang's attitude was very firm, touching Little Zhang deeply, and the surrounding disciples observing were also moved. If it were others, they would have long forgotten brotherhood and pursued their future, who would act as foolishly as Wang Xiaoqiang to speak of brotherly loyalty.

Xue Tiancheng was also somewhat touched and said, "It seems you can't leave your brother. How about this, you can enter the Outer Sect. If there's important matters or tasks in the Outer Sect, you must stay, if not, you can remain in the Entry-Level Disciple area to assist Little Zhang in cultivation..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart brightened, thinking this was a good plan. Before he spoke, Little Zhang had already cupped his fists towards Xue Tiancheng, saying "Thank you, Master Xue, on behalf of Wang Xiaoqiang, I accept."

"Haha." Xue Tiancheng laughed, "Good, then Wang Xiaoqiang, come with me to the Outer Sect to complete the entry procedures, once completed, you can return."

"Thank you."

Wang Xiaoqiang cupped his fists toward Xue Tiancheng, then turned his gaze to the surrounding observing disciples, and shouted coldly, "Listen up, I, Wang Xiaoqiang, though promoted to the Outer Sect, am only temporarily leaving, and will soon return. If anyone dares to bully my brother Little Zhang, I will certainly not forgive, even disdain and ridicule are not permitted."

The surrounding disciples, hearing this, trembled like cicadas in cold weather, shrinking their necks, not daring to breathe loudly. Wang Xiaoqiang had exterminated the powerful Tu Dalong and the Flying Gang, let alone these weak Entry-Level Disciples, they were nothing.

Now Wang Xiaoqiang was chosen for the Outer Sect, valued by the Outer Sect Master Xue Tiancheng, strong and formidable, who dare provoke. Even if they were his brothers, they had to treat with respect.

Xue Tiancheng also smiled, shook his head, and said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you're being overly cautious. Alright, let's go."

With that, he flew up.

Wang Xiaoqiang solemnly instructed Little Zhang, "Contact me immediately if there's any situation, I'll be right back."

Little Zhang nodded, tears almost welling up.

Only then did Wang Xiaoqiang rise and follow Xue Tiancheng to the Outer Sect. The Outer Sect of Kaoshan Sect was a world apart from the Entry-Level Disciple area; to make a comparison, the Entry-Level area was a slum, while the Outer Sect was a well-off community, houses with blue bricks and tiles arranged in rows upon rows, countless in number,

As the two flew over the Outer Sect area, Xue Tiancheng pointed at the ancient-looking blue brick houses below, smiled, and asked, "Little Qiang, look, that's where you'll live. Not bad, right?"

Xue Tiancheng thought Wang Xiaoqiang would be excited about the change in living conditions, but he only said indifferently, "It's alright, like the big house at my old home."

Wang Xiaoqiang referred to his old home on Earth, which Xue Tiancheng naturally didn't know. He bitterly smiled, shook his head, and said, "Little Qiang, you have great potential and a bright future ahead. With hard work, you can live in any house... I have high hopes for you."

In Kaoshan Sect, choosing disciples not only focuses on talent and cultivation base but also on temperament. Generally, temperament like resolute decisiveness with a touch of cunning or mild evil, is more welcomed and seen as brilliant and outstanding,

Among Outer Sect Disciples, ones like Tu Dalong have distinguished potential, while those like Jiangg Qingdi are the elites. Yet compared to them, Xue Tiancheng had more confidence in Wang Xiaoqiang. Knowing that even with low strength and power, he eliminated Tu Dalong and the Flying Gang, this feat could not be accomplished by anyone, even top disciples like Jiangg Qingdi could not achieve this.

Wang Xiaoqiang had lived in various places, from the heavenly palaces more luxurious than any Imperial Palace, hence he had no extravagant expectations for living conditions. This time he came to the Ancient Times for revenge, but also with ambitions to conquer and establish his power here. So when mentioning houses, he still smiled calmly,

Wang Xiaoqiang's calmness and depth surprised and puzzled Xue Tiancheng, but he appreciated him more, leading him down to land directly at the Great Hall of the Sect. The hall was also a house of blue bricks and tiles, but much taller and larger, though its interior was very simple, with a sacrificial table at the back, incense burners with smoke swirling around, clear and persistent,

On the ground were only prayer mats, with tables in front, each mat connected to one, lined both sides, supposedly for Outer Sect Disciples to sit during meetings.

Xue Tiancheng didn't mention any apprenticeship rituals, upon arriving at the hall, he called for tea to be served. The tea-serving boy disciple was quite handsome, about fourteen or fifteen years old, if placed on Earth would be a beautiful "little loli" of the finest kind,

The boy disciple brought over a tea tray but only poured tea for Xue Tiancheng, directly ignoring Wang Xiaoqiang.

For in this hall, among Outer Sect Disciples, only Xue Tiancheng had the privilege to drink tea,

Xue Tiancheng glanced at the boy disciple sternly, "Didn't you see there are two people?"

The boy disciple hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with eyes of surprise and shock, and quickly poured him a cup as well,

Then, Xue Tiancheng didn't perform any apprenticeship ceremony but merely explained the sect rules to Wang Xiaoqiang. As he explained, the boy disciple was increasingly astonished, she initially thought Wang Xiaoqiang was a newly entered disciple. But when Xue Tiancheng had tea served to him, she thought this is more than just a disciple, but someone with a different status, as Outer Sect Disciples have no tea-drinking privilege here. Now hearing Xue Tiancheng explaining the Outer Sect rules to Wang Xiaoqiang, it clearly showed Wang Xiaoqiang was indeed an Outer Sect Disciple, freshly entered,

This was strange.

Newly entered Outer Sect Disciples typically first kneel and worship the master upon arrival here, yet this Wang Xiaoqiang not only didn't kneel or worship but drank tea in this hall, was this sitting equally with the Sect Master?
