Xian Ni Renegade Immortal Chapter 28 Chapter 28
Chapter 28 – Ch.o.r.es
Among purple, black, white, and red, black represented a really high cultivation. w.a.n.g Lin couldn’t see through his cultivation, so he respectfully said, “w.a.n.g Lin greets brother Zhang. Congratulations to senior on reaching black clothes.”
The black clad youth looked at w.a.n.g Lin and slowly said, “Me successfully breaking into the fifth layer of Qi Condensation does relate a bit to you. If I hadn’t found that cave while looking for you, I wouldn’t have broken through so quickly.”
w.a.n.g Lin was stunned and asked, “Brother Zhang, that hole with the suction force in the cave could help cultivation?”
The black clad youth nodded and said, “When you reach the peak of the fourth layer and need to use the chant to enter the fifth layer, go there yourself and you will see the effect.“ He glanced at w.a.n.g Lin and said, “Brother w.a.n.g, it can’t be helped since your talent is mediocre, but since you are a disciple now, you must cultivate diligently. I see that you have no spiritual energy in you at all. You haven’t even reached the first layer of Qi Condensation. I’m afraid that out of all the inner disciples, you are the only one.”
w.a.n.g Lin was stunned but wryly smiled, “I’ll take Apprentice-brother’s advice to heart. I will double my effort in cultivation.” He suddenly changed the subject and asked, “Brother Zhang, what is the reason you’re here today?”
The black clad youth chuckled and said, “It’s nothing serious. The honorary disciple in charge of the ch.o.r.e house disappeared. Someone saw you go there that day, so I came here to ask you about it.”
w.a.n.g Lin’s expression remained normal and laughed, “I have an inkling of what happened. Normally, I don’t go near the ch.o.r.e house, but half a month ago, I pa.s.sed by it and an honorary disciple was talking behind my back, so I taught him a lesson. Maybe he got scared of me and left the sect.”
Brother Zhang nodded his head, half laughing. He looked at w.a.n.g Lin and said, “A disgusting honorary disciple is not important. Today, I came to you because the elders have decided that an honorary disciple shouldn’t be in charge of the ch.o.r.e house, so they wanted an inner disciple to take over. But no inner disciple wants to go, they are all busy cultivating.”
w.a.n.g Lin wryly smiled, “I understand. It seems the task has been a.s.signed to me.”
Brother Zhang smiled slightly and said, “Pack your things and head there today. Right now, the ch.o.r.e house is really messy. You have to get it back in order.”
He cusped his hands at w.a.n.g Lin, took a step, and a sword appeared under his feet. The sword emitted rainbow colors as he rode it away.
w.a.n.g Lin revealed a frustrated expression. He didn’t want to go to the ch.o.r.e house. The people there were too nosey; it would be too easy for his secret to be exposed. Also, there would be a lot of work that would disrupt his cultivation. But now, he couldn’t not go. With a belly filled with anger, he packed his things and arrived at the ch.o.r.e house.
After arriving there, he reached a decision in his heart. He couldn’t stay in the ch.o.r.e house for too long. He had to mess up everything in the ch.o.r.e house so that every honorary disciple would go to the elders to ask for a replacement.
With this idea in mind, w.a.n.g Lin cleaned up disciple Liu’s room. Besides the bed and the table, everything that was useless was thrown outside.
While he was doing this, a few disciples arrived at the ch.o.r.e house. They had learned that w.a.n.g Lin was now in charge of a.s.signing ch.o.r.es, so many of them were nervous. The faces of the few that ridiculed w.a.n.g Lin the most were pale and their hearts pounded.
Some had intentions of helping w.a.n.g Lin clean up, but after being glared at, they all obediently stood in the yard.
After he finished cleaning, w.a.n.g Lin casually sat down on a chair. He coldly looked at the 100 plus honorary disciples before him. He knew that the Heng Yue Sect had a lot of honorary disciples. This was only a fraction of them. In the next few days, there would be more honorary disciples coming back to report on their work.
“You will now chop 500 pounds of firewood!” w.a.n.g Lin casually pointed at a person. He remembered that that person had secretly ridiculed him.
That person was stunned. He immediately cried, “Brother w.a.n.g I … I used to work in the kitchen. I don’t know how to chop wood.”
w.a.n.g Lin rolled his eyes. He snorted, “Now it’s 1000 pounds a day!”
The boy suddenly kneeled to the ground and started crying. “Brother w.a.n.g, you are a good person. I shouldn’t have ridiculed you back then. But please, don’t be so vindictive I … I … I can’t possibly do 1000 pounds, how about 500 pounds?”
The surrounding people all looked at each other. They all knew w.a.n.g Lin would make things difficult, but this was clearly revenge.
There were a few honorary disciples in the crowd that shouted in discontent. “Everyone, don’t listen to him. Let’s go find an elder and have them carry out justice. w.a.n.g Lin is too overbearing.”
“Correct. Let us go find the elders to get another inner disciple to be in charge of this place. If they don’t listen to us, we will kneel and never get up.”
“True. Let’s go, everyone. Don’t stay here. This w.a.n.g Lin has a villainous look. He doesn’t even remember that he entered the Sect by trying to commit suicide. Such a disgrace.”
The sound the dissatisfied voices grew louder and louder. Soon, everyone left the yard while shouting insults. They all had looks of grievance as they went toward the courtyard, all shouting things like, “w.a.n.g Lin doesn’t want us to live anymore.”
w.a.n.g Lin was relaxed in his heart. He didn’t stop them and hoped that they would succeed. This way, the elders would get mad and make someone else take over so he can concentrate on cultivation.
The remaining ten or so people were hesitating. They wanted to leave, but if this thing failed, wouldn’t it mean that they had completely disrespected w.a.n.g Lin?
w.a.n.g Lin wasn’t in a rush. He waited for the result from the main courtyard. A moment later, all the honorary disciples gloomily came back, one by one. This time, they were no longer shouting, but had eyes filled with despair and silence.
w.a.n.g Lin saw their expressions and knew that they had failed. He was very disappointed in his heart. It seemed he had to make an even bigger commotion. Thinking about it, he scanned the people here and said, “All of you who secretly mocked me, listen to me. I am here today to get revenge. If you’re dissatisfied, go to the elders. If you can get me removed from this position, I will have to thank you.”
One of the disciples begged, “Brother w.a.n.g, you are a great person. Please forgive us.”
“Yes, Brother w.a.n.g, we were blind back then. Please give us a break. I … I’ll kowtow to you.”
“Brother w.a.n.g, they all mocked you back then, but I never did. I even defended you. I …”
