Chapter 143: Life 66, Age 28, Martial Grandmaster 3
When I entered the administration building, I thought I might see a line of cultivators slowly getting introduced to the sect. The line at the Entrance Exam had been moving slowly, and only a fraction of the people who passed would be assigned to Earth Peak, but I still expected to have to wait. Introducing new cultivators to the sect takes time, right?
There was only one person inside the building when I entered. It was someone I had seen several times over my last five years at the Academy. The lazy outer sect disciple that I was assured would be the next person promoted to the inner sect. He had his feet up on the counter, was reclined back in his chair, and was staring at the ceiling.
I walked up to the desk and stood in front of him, but he didn’t even look at me.
“Hello.” I tapped on the desk to get his attention.
Letting out a long, exasperated sigh, he looked at me. “What? I’m busy preparing to take the Exam to advance to the inner sect. Don’t disturb me.”
“I’m a new disciple. I need to be introduced to the sect.”
He rolled his eyes. “Badge.”
I held up the jade token I’d been given. He grabbed it and threw it onto a small formation plate to the side of the counter.
When he saw the result, he snorted. Then, he reached under the counter, pulled out a book, and threw it at me along with my token.
