Chapter 60: Life 60, Age 16, Martial Disciple 1
Mei led me back down to the third level of the pagoda.
“This is where you’ll be staying,” she said. “Third level is for all the scrubs. If you can contribute enough, you’ll get bumped up to the fourth.”
“Thanks,” I said.
“No worries. Take some time to relax. We have to get back to work, but if you need anything, SuYin or any of the other attendants can show you around. Just head down to the shop floor and wander around. You should be able to find someone easily enough.”
“Do I need any ID?” I asked. “Sect members all carry jade tokens, right? Does the Pavilion have anything I need to get access to the upper levels?”
“Nah,” she said with a shake of the head, “the guards should have already been informed about you, so there won’t be any trouble. WuJing can get you a Pavilion Badge to use when you go to other branches, but you won’t need it here, so might as well hold off on getting it. Right now, you have zero contributions, no cultivation, and no proven ability. That means you get the lowest-level badge. Work your way up a little first, otherwise, you’ll be replacing it before you even use it.”
“Thanks," I said with a small laugh.
“Now, take a break and stop bothering me. I have to get to work,” she said with a wave as she walked away.
My room in the Pavilion could only be described as opulent.
