Chapter 137: One hundred thirty-seven failed missions in pairs
The attention of most people was fixated on Ling Wan, so as the latter turned his head, their gazes followed suit, and in the next instant, they found their eyes hard to avert.
First to appear at the entrance of the hall was a figure in green robes, who, unlike the newly promoted Outer Disciples like Tan Yun and Ling Wan, was undoubtedly unfamiliar.
However, as Ling Wan and others sensed a touch of shock from the crowd around them, they realized that the reputation of the newcomer must be considerable. Didn’t you see even Guan Tong, ranked third on the Mortal List, showing a hint of intimidation?
"It’s Shen Xiao, senior brother, no wonder we haven’t seen him around lately. He must have been out on a mission!"
After an awed voice emanated from somewhere, newcomers like Tan Yun and Zhao Ningshu, who might not have seen this prodigy before, knew who the arrival was.
"Shen Xiao, ranked second on the Jade Pot Sect Outer Sect Mortal List!"
Tan Yun watched the figure in green walk leisurely into the Task Hall, muttering under his breath, and instantly, Ling Wan and the others understood, even if they hadn’t seen this fearsome figure who ranked second on the Mortal List, they had certainly heard the name Shen Xiao.
Despite the awe and fervor of the crowd around him, Shen Xiao seemed to show no response. On the contrary, there was a hint of gloom on his face, and his mood didn’t seem to be very good.
As for Shen Xiao, Steward Qin Wang was naturally very familiar with him. This was a standout among hundreds of Outer Disciples, very likely to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple after the upcoming Outer Sect competition. So even Qin Wang, the steward of the Outer Sect Task Hall, didn’t dare to be negligent.
Just advancing to the Inner Sect of the Jade Pot Sect meant access to very different resources. Although Qin Wang had reached the peak of the Meridian Rushing Realm, his prospects at this age were obviously not as bright as Shen Xiao’s, who was only in the early stage of the Meridian Rushing Realm.
