Primordial Cultivator

Chapter 149 - Returning To The Swift Feather Sect

While Elder Jing uses her flying treasures to bring the disciples back to the Swift Feather Sect, Yang Wei starts asking Lian Xinyue multiple questions.

"What happened to the other sects?" Yang Wei was pretty sure they would make a big commotion when they realized how many deaths occurred in the mystery realm.

Also, he wanted to know if there are other sects that managed to survive the demon's outbreak.

Lian Xinyue rubbed her chin slightly before shaking her head.

"By the time I came out, there were no other sects left and Elder Fang Yunru along with Elder Pan Cheng left the area quickly." Lian Xinyue started to explain how the two pathetic sect elders left the area without hesitation, almost like they were embarrassed to stay any longer.

Yang Wei wasn't surprised by this outcome since they were basically used as guinea pigs by Elder Jing back in the mystery realm.

If words were to ever get out then they would have nowhere to hide their shame.

Yang Wei stopped asking any more questions when Lian Xinyue was almost the same as him, with zero knowledge regarding the reaction of other sects.

As much as he wanted information on what happened, there was nothing he could do when he was still a lowly outer disciple.

Meanwhile, Lian Xinyue suddenly remembers the upcoming event as she glances at Yang Wei.

"Yang Wei, did you know about the inner disciple-"

"The inner disciple examination, right?" Yang Wei didn't wait for Lian Xinyue to finish as he said what she wanted to ask.

Lian Xinyue twitched her mouth slightly when she was interrupted by Yang Wei.

Normally, no men would ever dare to interrupt her speech and would even perk their ears up to pay full attention.

However, Yang Wei just seemed to be a different species and Lian Xinyue couldn't help but wonder if he was a pig in his previous life.

'No sense of courtesy and respect toward a fine lady.' Lian Xinyue sighed inwardly before nodding her head.

"That's right, the inner disciple's exam is about to start in a few months so are you going to partake in it?" Lian Xinyue then asked.

"Shouldn't it be obvious that I would partake in it?" Yang Wei chuckled softly at her questions.

Why wouldn't he try his best to become an inner disciple?

Being an outer disciple of the sect does not technically mean you are part of the sect. It simply means you are on trial until you pass the inner disciples where the sect would officially take an interest in you.

The treatment and resources you get between an outer disciple and an inner disciple were as vast as the Earth and heaven.

"Well, I was just asking in concern as your senior." Lian Xinyue said in a pouting tone and continued.

"Can't you respect this senior of yours at all?"

She was in the sect longer than Yang Wei but he has never shown respect to her, especially ever since that embarrassing and humiliating incident.

"I would respect you but honestly, I don't know what quality you have for me to respect you…" Yang Wei mumbled softly.

He didn't mean to be rude to Lian Xinyue but sometimes, her behavior seemed to be immature and childish.

Just the fact that she knew Elder Jing was sleeping due to exhaustion yet she still raised her tone loudly, disregarding Elder Jing's well-being.

Lian Xinyue shuddered and became embarrassed as she tried to explain herself in that situation.

"I-I didn't mean to wake Elder Jing up… It was all your fault," Lian Xinyue shifted the blame to Yang Wei.

Yang Wei was dumbfounded as he wondered how it would be his fault in almost waking Elder Jing up.

Lian Xinyue saw his usual dazed and confused expression. She puffed in anger as she tried to glance around, making sure no one was paying attention to them or eavesdropping.

Afterward, she leaned in closer and whispered softly, "Did you forget about where Elder Jing's head is laying on?"

Yang Wei stayed silent, causing Lian Xinyue to become more irritated.

"E-Elder Jing is a respected elder in the Swift Feather Sect and if rumors of her being intimate with a mere disciple, then there is going to be gossip about her." Lian Xinyue continued and explained the disastrous event if they were exposed.

By the time Lian Xinyue finished explaining multiple scenarios of the outcome of Elder Jing being caught intimate with him, Yang Wei's face has turned solemn already.

Yang Wei took a deep breath before staring at Lian Xinyue who seemed eager to listen for his response to her explanation.

"The gossip- would there be any if I'm strong and influential?" Yang Wei then asked as he clenched his fist.

Lian Xinyue was dumbfounded to hear his words as she was speechless on how to answer him back.

Of course, the answer was obvious but she didn't want to say it aloud as that would mean her worries would turn into ashes.

Yang Wei smirked when he saw her expression. "There wouldn't be any gossip if I'm strong right? After all, whoever has the strongest fist, makes the rules in this world."

Lian Xinyue didn't answer but her expression exposed her already.

Being strong in the cultivation world means everything.

No one would dare to accuse a strong cultivator of a crime as that would mean asking for a death sentence or possibly the annihilation of their entire family.

Hence, if Yang Wei was strong enough to silence the entire crowd then him being in a relationship with Elder Jing would instead be praised by everyone for their daring and passionate love for each other.

Such is the cold-hard truth in the cultivation world and Yang Wei has another reason to become stronger.

Meanwhile, the flying treasure suddenly stopped moving and Elder Jing soon appeared in front of everyone.

"We have returned to the Swift Feather Sect," Elder Jing announced and she continued.

"Everyone would take a day to rest before meeting up in the Lecture Hall where the Sect Leader would personally be there to congratulate you for your hard work."
