Chapter 74: Steward
“Why? Wasn’t it enough to qualify for the Immortal Sect as long as you got an upper rank before?” the Seventh Young Master couldn’t help but complain, despite his usual fear of Senior Sister Zhang.
Zheng Fa understood his frustration. From the Seventh Young Master’s perspective, it was like being a mediocre student working tirelessly for a passing grade, only for the exam proctor to announce a new rule: the results would be ranked, and only the top ten would pass. Anyone else would fail.
Who wouldn’t explode under such circumstances?
Senior Sister Zhang shook her head.
“This time, all the families participating in the Immortal Talent Conference fear potential changes in the future. They’ve brought out their best young talents, flooding the competition with both quantity and quality. If we still used the old ranking system, too many people would enter the Immortal Sect.”
“Wouldn’t that be a good thing?” the Seventh Young Master asked, genuinely puzzled.
“For you, it would be. But for those already in the Immortal Sect...” Senior Sister Zhang gave Zheng Fa a meaningful look. “You’re essentially fighting for their share of resources.”
“Even though everyone participating has the backing of Golden Core or Nascent Soul cultivators, there’s been an uproar among the lower-ranking disciples of the Hundred Immortals Alliance. That’s why they’ve decided to limit the number of entrants.”
