Chapter 304 - 299: Current Situation of the Spirit Suppressing Realm_2
"The Quota would only be triggered when it involved the safety of the Sect, shaking the foundation of the Sect. Of course, this was the original decision of the Hidden Faction. In the many years of peace, there would occasionally be some minor tasks in the Hidden Faction, mostly privately distributed by the higher-ups."
Ji Chao’s face was filled with surprise as he said, "The repository guards and sweeping tower disciples from the Scripture Pavilion and the Demon Suppressing Tower, those who in legend never leave unless it’s a disaster for the sect?"
Wang Zijia, feeling a slight surprise in his heart, revealed no change in his expression and casually nodded, "More or less, but not as glamorous. You could think of them as Hidden Faction disciples from the inner sect, they are the stuff of legends."
"We are Hidden Faction disciples from the outer sect, silent and unknown to the point of never even appearing in legends. Or you could say, in the ongoing legends of the sect, you can find traces of us. Even some of them could have been promoted from among us."
This down-to-earth explanation instantly made Ji Chao understand. This was his first time realizing that the repository guards were not chosen from the geniuses of the Scripture Pavilion but were promoted from the Hidden Faction.
No wonder he never heard about the mysterious guards conducting a selection; they were once thought of as mere legends by the disciples.
At this point in his thoughts, he suddenly paused, looking at the Charm Summon resting on Wang Zijia’s wing, he said with a hint of disbelief, "Senior Brother, by saying this you mean ...."
"Due to certain tasks, I received a quota for recruitment. Initially, I had no specific target in mind. However, now that you have become a Sacrificial Wine and attained the Fourth-grade Dao foundation, and since we are acquaintances, would you like to become a disciple of the Hidden Faction?" Wang Zijia calmly asked.
First, Ji Chao’s face was filled with delight, then a bitter smile followed, "Senior Brother, you treat me so well, I feel a bit embarrassed, I feel like even if I sold myself I couldn’t repay you."
"So, not willing?" asked Wang Zijia casually.
"Of course I am willing. You think so highly of me, how could I let you down!" Ji Chao immediately replied, then added with a bitter smile on his face, "Just that ... you might find your junior brother a bit too emotional."
