Chapter 291 - 290: Being Careless
Ever since the Grand Selection, Wang Zijia’s fame within the Outer Sect had been growing by the day, now signifying that he was the standout figure of his time.
This was not only thanks to his own endeavors, but also the combined effort of various factions within the Scripture Pavilion, which were beginning to overshadow other factions. One could discern this from yesterday’s Grand Selection, which showed the popularity of the factions within the Scripture Pavilion.
As he stepped into the Great Hall, he drew numerous glances. Thankfully, no one was audacious enough to approach him.
Wang Zijia came in front of a counter, where the disciple operating the array screen promptly stood up. After paying a respectful bow to Wang Zijia, he asked, "Martial Uncle Wang, are you here to hand over a task?"
Wang Zijia nodded slightly, saying, "My apprentice task has been involved in some other matters, and I was notified to personally hand it over."
"Alright, Martial Uncle, I will—..." The disciple behind the counter faltered in his speech as his face stiffened. He paused his operation on the light screen, saying, "Martial Uncle, please wait. I don’t have enough authority to approve your task!"
"No worries." Wang Zijia only furrowed his eyebrows slightly as he replied softly.
Just a while later, a man in his twenties hurriedly walked out from within the hall. He greeted Wang Zijia with a bow, saying, "I’m Bai Gaohan. I’ve heard a lot about Junior Brother Wang, and I’m glad to finally meet you in person."
Wang Zijia stood up to return the greeting, smiling as he said, "You are too kind, Senior Brother Bai!"
"Junior Brother, please step inside for our conversation!" Bai Gaohan gestured towards Wang Zijia, inviting him in.
Wang Zijia hesitated for a moment, but decided to sit down for a while. There wasn’t much difference even if he was in a hurry.
