Chapter 467. Confession (1)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Mo Fei pondered for a moment and said, “s.h.i.+fu, we ran into three special people in the secret realm.”
Fat headmaster looked over at Mo Fei with great interest, “What kind of people could incredibly interest you?”
Mo Fei said thoughtfully, “Super strength, super poised, super high vision, very aggressive…”
Fat headmaster looked at Mo Fei, confused, “Those old a.s.sholes who used empowering to enter the secret realm?”
Mo Fei shook his head, “It doesn’t look like it’s them. They are really young. Those people shouldn’t be from Chen Kingdom. And the girl among them killed a level ten star beast with a sway of her sword.”
“Splitting a level ten star beast with a sword? My disciple, did you see it clearly?” The fat headmaster stared at him in disbelief and asked.
“No, I overheard them talking, and one of the young men, who seemed to be trying to get a servant, found that the one he likes is an old man who used empowering to enter a young man’s body, and he directly turned him into ashes.” Mo Fei said slowly.
The fat headmaster suddenly froze there, the chair under his body suddenly broke, and the fat headmaster fell heavily onto the ground.
Seeing him fall on his back, Mo Fei was stoned.
Little golden flood dragon searchingly looked at the fat headmaster, making quacking laughter.
Fat headmaster whisked the robe, stood up like nothing happened, hand holding behind, saying calmly, “this chair is bad quality!”
Qian Ye touched his chin and said meaningfully, “s.h.i.+fu, you must continue losing weight!”
Fat headmaster gave Qian Ye an eye, “What do you know? A man looking like could make others feel safe. If as skinny as you, well…”
Qian Ye, “…”
Fat headmaster then turned to Mo Fei and asked, “Did you encounter? Did they say anything?”
Mo Fei shook his head and said, “No, but when we got out of the secret realm and they saw us from afar, and they said our qualifications are not good enough.”
Fat headmaster said darkly, “Not enough, not enough! Isn’t it enough? What on earth is enough?”
Mo Fei looked at the appearance of fat headmaster, “s.h.i.+fu you are all right?”
Fat headmaster shook his head, “Yeah, I’m fine. As for those three people, you guys stay out of it.”
Mo Fei nodded and said, “Got it.”
Qian Ye looked at fat headmaster, head tilted, “Headmaster s.h.i.+fu, do you know something?”
Fat headmaster sighed, “Now that you have met, I can tell you. Chen may be a big country in your eyes, but in the eyes of some people, it is just a small border country, a wild land, a non-essential existence. The people you saw should be from the mainland.”
“The mainland?” Asked Mo Fei.
Fat headmaster nodded, “Yes! In fact, in the eyes of the mainlanders, both Chen and your Rong Kingdom are small and insignificant islands. Chen looks vast to you, but compared with the mainland, it is less than one thousandth.”
Lou Yu looked at fat headmaster and asked, “s.h.i.+fu, have you ever been to the mainland!”
Fat headmaster’s face revealed some of missing feeling, “Yes, when I was in my twenties, I have ever partic.i.p.ated in the mainland sect selection.”
Mo Fei and the others looked at each other. “s.h.i.+fu, have you been chosen?” Mo Fei tentatively asked.
Fat headmaster sighed, “Yes, but no.”
“What do you mean?” Asked Mo Fei.
Fat headmaster said faintly, “There are three rounds. Pa.s.sing the first round, you can become the outer disciple, the second round you’d be an inner disciple, and pa.s.sing the third round, you could become the core disciple. Outer disciples are like being raised by an adoptive mother, and wouldn’t be a.s.signed many resources, but have to bear heavy ch.o.r.es, and if you couldn’t make breakthrough in a certain time, you’d be thrown out and sent back to where you came. But there are still numerous people who want to go to the mainland to become the outer disciples.”
Mo Fei and others looked at fat headmaster suspiciously, “Teacher did you pa.s.s round only?”
Fat headmaster said grumpily, “Are those two holes above your nose? It’s already good enough to pa.s.s the first round. When I partic.i.p.ated in the selection, I was twenty, level nine, no worse than any of you.”
Qian Ye c.o.c.ked his head and said, “s.h.i.+fu, was it because you were too fat so you got ousted in the second round?”
Fat headmaster wore a bitter smile, “No, only if you go out, you would know how big the world is. You know, there were thousands of people who partic.i.p.ated in the selection, all under the age of 25, and the lowest level was eight.”
Mo Fei and others looked at each other, eyes flas.h.i.+ng a bit stunned color.
Fat headmaster deeply closed his eyes and said, “Don’t think too much. Before, every ten years, Huatian Sect would send people here to select disciples for the trial. But in the recent hundreds of years, they seldom came. It’s still hard to say whether you have the chance. Even if they’d come, it’d be the next year. You have plenty of time to get yourselves prepared.
