Chapter 66 Overestimating The Array
The sect master spoke, "He is my disciple, Me and the sect are already tied to him by Karma. I can not forsake him. We will wait till he reaches the foundation establishment. Then, I will make him Dao child of the sect. I will require all your approval on this."
Sect master continued, "About the matters related to his family, we will give them a town near the sect or move them to any city near the sect. Everyone he met during his stay in the outer sect needs to be vetted for spies. We will need the discipline hall's help with this. It's a good thing we figured out his talent in Dao of space early. I don't think any of them noticed his space affinity. Even I did not know about it until he showed celestial Qi to me. That being said, the implications of this are too severe, so we will have to be careful. Currently, only nine of us know about his affinity; we will keep it that way. We will exempt him from sect chores for now."
Fairy Su of Pill Hall said, "He doesn't have to go out to do chores. He could come to our pill hall .."
Elder Dongmei cut her off in the middle and said, "You mentioned the mayor of cloud mountain city. If I recall correctly, he is a relative of Hong in my dark hall. I need to punish him for taking bribes from my grand disciple's family. I will let dark hall take care of matters related to his family and friends. About the chores for his training and missions, better send him to my dark hall where he earns some battle experience without anyone noticing him. Disciples of my dark hall do not have a face as they do not exist, so even if he kills someone with space talent, no one will be able to trace it back to my grand disciple."
Fairy Su spoke, " But is it alright to make him a killer of the dark hall? What if he deviates from the righteous path of cultivation? "
Elder Dongmei harrumphed " So what do you want to do? Make him a fairy in pill hall? As for his deviation in the path, this old man will not let that happen. I will personally assign his missions."
The moment the elder Dongmei heard about Han Cai's talent, he had to have this talent in his dark hall. Every disciple he found so far was disappointing. He had lived a long life and seen many disciples pass by, including core disciples. If everything that sect master said was true, this disciple was sent specially for his Dark Hall. He was worried about the legacy of his dark hall. So What if Han Cai was a disciple of the sect master? That did not mean he had to become sect master. He would not let this ideal talent go to any other hall.
All other hall elders rolled their eyes. Look at him poaching a talent right in front of their eyes. But no one would speak up against elder Dongmei. He was the most senior here, and He had no restraints. If he lost his cool, they all would suffer.
At that time, the elder Dongmei spoke again, "You said he chose four skills. Which four skills did he choose?"
The Sect master looked at elder Guang. Elder Guang told them all the skill techniques Han Cai had. When all elders heard his choices, they all thought the same thing this kid was ambitious.
Elder Dongmei thought for a while, then spoke, "Bring that kid here. I want to see him." 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
Sect master nodded. Even though he said Han Cai is talented, all the elders will be more sure when they see him one time. The Sect master looked at the Elder of the discipline hall. "Elder Ling, I will have trouble with you bringing Han Cai to the sect hall."
Elder Ling of the Inner Sect discipline hall nodded and went out.
It was late evening, and Han Cai was sitting in a meditation room. He was not cultivating. He was contemplating his life like he was a sage.
Han Cai thought his life would be very long, and he should pursue some arts and hobbies. He was thinking about learning to play a musical instrument. There was a perfect instrument waiting for him in the sect. But how does he convince Sect Master to give it to him? The sect will ask for a really big contribution from him to get the flute. Han Cai was okay with contributing as long he could do it sitting in his cave abode without any danger. But it was a pipe dream to get that flute. He might have to kill some elders of the enemy sect just to be considered good enough for that earth weapon that's just courting unnecessary death.
Should he steal it from the sect? Han Cai shook his head. That's not right. He has a great thing going on here. He shouldn't ruin it just for his greediness.
While Han Cai was lost in his thoughts, he heard some commotion outside. When he walked out, he saw elder Lin of the inner discipline hall in front of his abode.
Han Cai thought, why is the Elder of the Inner Discipline hall here? Did I break any rules? I was just thinking about stealing the earth-level weapon. Did the f**king abode array notice my thoughts? And It decided to inform the discipline hall about my plan to steal the earth-grade treasure.
Doubtful, Han Cai went to Elder Lin and bowed, greeting him. Elder Lin nodded and told Han Cai that the sect master wanted him to come to the inner hall. Han Cai sighed in relief. It was preposterous to think array could know his thoughts about stealing the earth-grade treasure , but how could he be sure this was a weird, mysterious world? He could not make the mistake of underestimating anyone.
Han Cai nodded. Before he could say anything else, Elder Lin carried Han Cai in the air with him and flew towards the inner hall.
