Chapter 189: Life 70, Age 24, Martial Grandmaster 4
Upon leaving the Metal Peak, I found JiaQi standing near the Gateway Plaza and waving at me. After a quick greeting, she led me to an apartment complex where everyone else had already settled in.
Upon entering, I didn’t speak and instead immediately set about laying down a formation to protect us from eavesdroppers. I also wanted to lay down a powerful defensive formation, but we were supposed to be safe in Mortal City, and going overboard on our defenses would only draw unwanted attention to our little group.
Once everything was configured to my satisfaction, I looked around at everyone and grinned.
“How did you all do?”
LiTing held up her badge.
“Yan and I were made grade 3 core disciples. We’re assuming you were as well.”
I held up my badge in confirmation and turned to JiaQi.
She gave me a slightly sheepish expression. “I only got ungraded core. I have enough beast taming knowledge to pass the path to Yellow City, but that’s about it. Whoever’s in charge must’ve figured that wasn’t enough to warrant anything better.”
Her words sounded slightly bitter, but I could tell she didn’t care. Her position in the sect was meaningless to her. Still, I patted her on the shoulder in a show of sympathy.
