Ye Tian Yun was a bit surprised seeing him here since he knew that Elder Lai Chang didn't handle the tasks regarding the Resource Hall, but was one of the few elders who had power equivalent to that of an Inner Court Elder and was deputy in-charge of the Martial Mission Hall, even though was just an outer court elder as per his rank and cultivation.
In front of Elder Lai Chang was standing an outer court disciple with his back facing Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang.
Elder Lai Chang noticed both of them and called out, "Oh, you've come. Good good."
"Elder Lai Chang," Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang greeted him by cupping their fists.
The disciple who was also present at the scene, raised his head and turned towards both of them.
He saw two disciples with robes similar to his, clearly signifying their rank of outer court disciples, and since they had come to the upper floor, this meant that these two disciples were ranked in the Top Three of their respective peaks, but what surprised him most was the fact that Elder Lai Chang was greeting someone, not the other way around.
He had known Elder Lai Chang even before he entered the sect, in fact Elder Lai Chang was the one who scouted him for the sect a few months back, before the Sect Entrance Exam. And he had a good understanding of Elder Lai Chang's nature and thoughts since he had interacted with the elder many times.
Now he was curious to know who these two disciples were, and which peak they were from. Were these Xiao Ming or Hu Xing of the Ninth Peak? Because only those two monsters could make the elders greet them due to their potential and talent. But this case was unlikely, since in no way those two will walk together without fighting.
…
Ye Tian Yun reached the counter and said, "Elder Lai Chang, this is very unexpected. I wasn't expecting to meet you here."
"Ha-ha, well, I was bored on the Seventh Peak. So, I thought why not meet the new top outer court disciples of the sect today and made this counter to get to know you guys. Wait for a few minutes, I will give some instructions to Disciple Mu Xing here and then it will be your turn." Elder Lai Chang replied and told them to stand by for some time.
Ye Tian Yun and Zheng Xiang nodded, and stood there silently. However, many thoughts were currently passing through there heads.
Elder Lai Chang then turned towards the other disciple, and advised him, "Disciple Mu Xing, there is still a long way to go. You can't expect to ascend to the top in one go without having adverseries. There are many challenges to come and many enemies to defeat in the future. For now, you need to only focus on getting to the Gracious Sword Rankings and qualifying for the Grand Spirit Hunt within the next six months."
"Yes, Elder. I will keep your words in my mind." Mu Xing nodded.
Elder Lai Chang sighed, and said, "Don't worry about little things, go back to your peak and cultivate."
"Yes, Elder."
Mu Xing turned and left, without looking at Ye Tian Yun or Zheng Xiang again.
Elder Lai Chang then gestured towards them to come forward.
Zheng Xiang watched Mu Xing leave and asked Elder Lai Chang, "Elder, was this disciple the same person who is Ranked First in the Hunt at Fifth Peak, Mu Xing?"
"Indeed he is. In fact, I was the one who scouted him from his city. I went there to another clan but found this gem. I don't think you are familiar with him, he is a bit of an eccentric fellow."
"No, Elder. We just heard of his name being mentioned a few times by the disciples below. Is he really that talented in sword cultivation?"
"Yes, his talent in sword is undeniably one of the very best in his generation. But there's a long path ahead of him to traverse."
Ye Tian Yun who was silent all this time, asked, "Elder, what was troubling him? The fact that Bai Qing'er is one step ahead of him in comprehending Sword Intent?"
Elder Lain Chang sighed as he nodded, "Unfortunately, this is indeed the case with him. Due to his eccentric nature, he had never considered other disciples as his rivals, but now, he has a target to catch, someone who is far ahead of him and more talented."
Ye Tian Yun shook his head as he replied, "Elder, I think if he can't take this small thing and worries too much, he will end up with a heart demon and his cultivation will severely get affected due to this."
Elder Lai Chang laughed and shrugged at this remark, "Ha-ha, this is too far fetched. I can guarantee that this won't happen, after all, what made me bring him here was not his talent in sword, but his will power and determination."
