Tianman Peak, Neiwu Hall.
Jiang Yuebai was waiting at the outer gate. After a while, the male disciples from the inner gate finished their tasks and were sent out personally by the miscellaneous disciples.
The disciples stationed in the Internal Affairs Hall who are responsible for handling trivial matters are called Miscellaneous Affairs Disciples. Although there is only one word difference between them and Menial Affairs Disciples, Miscellaneous Affairs Disciples are outer disciples.
"Take care, brother."
Ma Feng, a miscellaneous disciple who was about twenty years old, waited until the inner disciple left the courtyard before he stood up and glanced at Jiang Yuebai with a bit of pride.
"Why don't you wear the gray uniform of a servant? Do you know that only inner disciples in the sect are allowed to dress casually?"
Jiang Yuebai smiled calmly, "I just returned to the sect and was in a hurry to hand in the task, so I forgot about it."
Ma Feng was displeased, "Come in."
"I wonder if Manager Hong is here?"
Ma Feng walked behind the counter and chuckled, "Manager Hong is extremely capable and is now the most trusted person by the Internal Affairs Hall's Great Elder Gongsun. How can you just go and see him whenever you want?"
Jiang Yuebai handed over the token with both hands, and Ma Feng took it for inspection.
Jiang Yuebai looked around. It was noon and the main hall of the Internal Affairs Hall was very quiet with only Ma Feng and another disciple who was busy sorting out the task list.
"You came back from Yinshan Mine? The mission you received five years ago?"
"Exactly."
"You're amazing for coming back." Ma Feng muttered, "Working in the mines, I get 1,000 contribution points a year, 5,000 contribution points in total."
"Thank you. I would also like to ask about the spiritual cultivation teacher assessment..."
"Wait a moment."
A flying sword came from outside and landed in Ma Feng's hand.
"It's this Song Zhiang again. He's weak but insists on learning how to refine weapons. He always asks for strong servants to help him forge iron. Every now and then, he asks for more. Where can I find strong servants for him... Hmm?"
Ma Feng stared at Jiang Yuebai and said, "You have been mining for five years, so you must be very strong, right?"
Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "I want more..."
"Anyway, you just came back and you must not have arranged a place to go. Song Zhiang is also a figure in the inner sect. He ranks third in Qi Refining Stage combat power, only behind Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan. He has been reserved by True Lord Canghuo. If True Lord Canghuo and Lord Guanghan Jian were not still trapped in the formation, the apprenticeship ceremony would have been held long ago."
"He lives on Tianxiong Peak, where there is abundant spiritual energy. You can benefit from it if you serve him. I will register you now. Anyway, you will be serving him wherever you go, so this is a good deal for you."
Jiang Yuebai quickly refused, "Wait, I have to take the spiritual cultivation teacher assessment, and I don't want to take the task for the time being."
"It's not easy to pass the Spiritual Farmer exam. If you fail, you still have to go somewhere else. So, what level of Qi training have you reached? You're pretty good at hiding it."
Ma Feng took Jiang Yuebai's token and asked to register without saying anything.
Jiang Yuebai's eyes turned cold, "I said, I won't go!"
Ma Feng's face was drooping. "You are just a servant. You have to accept whatever tasks the Internal Affairs Hall assigns you. The task I give you is many times better than mining. Don't be so shameless."
"Why are you so angry in the middle of the day?"
A monk in blue clothes walked out from the back hall, looking at Jiang Yuebai with a smile in his eyes.
"Manager Hong, I'm sorry for disturbing you." Ma Feng hurriedly bowed to Hong Tao.
Jiang Yuebai smiled and bowed, "Uncle Hong, I'm back."
Ma Feng glanced back and forth between Hong Tao and Jiang Yuebai, and realizing that something was wrong, he slapped himself in the face.
"Look at my mouth. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I was too shortsighted. I didn't know that this junior sister..."
"Get lost."
Hong Tao kicked the man away, took Jiang Yuebai's token and walked outside, "I heard in the back hall, are you ready to take the spiritual farming master exam?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded, "Yeah."
Hong Tao carefully examined Jiang Yuebai and asked in confusion, "How many levels of Qi training have you reached? Why do you want to hide it?"
Jiang Yuebai said generously: "The seventh level of Qi training."
After he finished speaking, Ma Feng was dumbfounded. He was so young but had such a high level of cultivation, not inferior to those geniuses in the inner sect. He was afraid that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended.
Hong Tao flew with Jiang Yuebai on his sword, maintaining the altitude halfway up the mountain.
Even though he was the manager of the Internal Affairs Hall, he was still an outer sect disciple and could not fly above the height of the main peak.
Jiang Yuebai looked around and felt that the atmosphere in Tianyan Sect seemed to have changed a little.
The monk who just flew past on a sword was holding a bamboo slip and shaking his head to recite. A little boy was running wildly on the mountain path below, practicing hand gestures as he ran. There was also a young man who was exercising in the woods, shouting loudly.
"One hundred and fifty Bull Punches. I won't rest until I have done two hundred. Ha!"
Even though the sect-wide competition will be held in half a year, there’s no need to work so hard, right
Jiang Yuebai felt a sense of urgency and wished he could go to the library to find books to read right away.
"Do Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan know that you're back?" Hong Tao asked.
Jiang Yuebai came back to his senses and shook his head, "I haven't sent them a message yet. I want to wait until I finish the Spiritual Farming Master exam and deal with all the chores before we get together again."
"They are not in the sect right now. They accepted a monster hunting mission half a month ago. Maybe they will go to Yinshan to look for you when they come back."
Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. When they arrive at Yinshan, they will naturally know that I have returned to the sect. I will just wait for them to come back."
"In the past five years, the two of them have been competing for the top spot in everything, and have become the most popular figure in the inner sect, which has also made many inner sect disciples hate them to death."
"Oh? Why is that?"
Speaking of this, Hong Tao couldn't help but laugh twice.
"They are working too hard. They never slack off in their sword training every day. They get up early and go to bed late. They hold books even during meal times. As a result, the True Lords of each peak use them as a benchmark and require the disciples in the peak not to fall behind them."
"This trend has now spread to the outer sects. The disciples in the sect are complaining bitterly and want to cry but have no tears. The sect master and his men are happy to see this happen and even deliberately praised the two in public. As a result, the sect is full of vitality and everyone is vying to be the first, and many good seedlings have emerged."
"Because of you, I have had several encounters with the two of them. I once asked them why they pushed themselves so hard when they were already among the top inner sect disciples. Guess how they answered?"
Jiang Yuebai shook her head and Hong Tao glanced at her.
"Lu Nanzhi's original words were that Jiang Yuebai was ten times more diligent than me. Xie Jingshan said that I wanted Jiang Yuebai to come back and honestly call me Senior Brother. The two of them agreed with you very much. Now it seems that they are right. You have not slacked off in the past five years. Even I admire you."
Jiang Yuebai raised his eyebrows slightly, looking proud and shy, "I just work hard."
Hong Tao laughed, and his flying sword rushed downwards, and they arrived at Hulu Valley where Wanfa Hall was located.
"Wait here, I'll go and inform you."
Jiang Yuebai was just about to say that she had Li Jiuchuan's token when a tiger roar was heard and a huge white tiger leaped out from somewhere and landed heavily in front of the two of them.
Hong Tao trembled with fear, and Jiang Yuebai almost drew his sword.
Qionglin Mountain Lord saw Jiang Yuebai clearly, his tiger eyes sparkled, and he happily jumped around Jiang Yuebai twice, then stretched out his head and nudged her with his nose.
The status of monsters is never higher than that of humans. In Wanfa Hall, only Li Jiuchuan is respectful to Qionglin Mountain Lord, so it also loves Jiang Yuebai, the person Li Jiuchuan likes.
This time Jiang Yuebai stood still like a big tree, and Qionglin Mountain Lord narrowed his eyes suspiciously, then increased his strength and pushed again.
Jiang Yuebai held down the tiger's head, and Qionglin Mountain Lord couldn't move forward, and his head was buzzing.
Oh
After not seeing her for five years, how come this little girl who falls down when she’s challenged isn’t fun anymore
"Stop it, Shanjun. I'm not a child anymore."
Hong Tao was surprised at the intimacy between Jiang Yuebai and Shougu Shanjun, but still followed the etiquette and said, "Shanjun, please inform that the Internal Affairs Hall Manager Hong Tao will take the menial disciple Jiang Yuebai to participate in the spiritual cultivation teacher assessment."
roar!!
The tiger demon in the Jindan stage of the mountain king showed his full power and spit on Hong Tao. Seeing that Hong Tao's face turned pale, he walked over with a domineering cat step, opened the formation and let him go.
Hong Tao thanked him with a pale face and went into the valley first. Jiang Yuebai walked behind him. When he passed by Qionglin Mountain King and saw that it was in a bad mood, he took out a gourd of Autumn Intoxicating Liquid from his belt.
"I brewed it, try it."
The young girl has curved eyebrows and eyes, and the tiger king in front of the mountain is smiling happily.
