Chapter 359: Promotion to the Inner Sect
That was exactly what he wanted!
Elder Ping looked at the sincere Victor with a smile on his face.
Didn’t he come here today for Victor’s promise?
Now it seemed that all his hard work was worth it!
As long as Victor could put in a good word for him in front of the great elder, Elder Ping could see that his promotion was right in front of his eyes!
After completing his goal, Elder Ping left not long after, but Lin Yiya and the others rushed over immediately after.
“w.a.n.g Cheng, thank you for today. If it wasn’t for you, my sister would have been buried in the belly of a bird.”
“d.a.m.n, I didn’t think too much back then. I just thought that a girl shouldn’t go through all of this alone, but in the end, my brain went crazy. If I had to make the decision again, I might not have the courage to do so.”
Victor scratched his head with a bitter smile. The wound on his shoulder hurt so much that he grimaced in pain.
“It must be very painful…”
Lin Yiya’s eyes were red as she stared at the wound on Victor’s shoulder without blinking.
“It’s alright. It’s just that my bones and tendons will be injured for the next hundred days. I’m afraid I won’t be able to move for a while…”
“It’s all my fault for being careless and causing you harm…”
“Why are you blaming yourself? No one wants to see me get hurt, but compared to a dual-cultivated swordsman like you, it’s obvious that I, as a body cultivator, should be able to withstand it better, right?”
“So, there’s nothing you should blame yourself for, and there’s no need to thank me. If I hadn’t acted, I would still be in the outer sect right now, and there wouldn’t have been an unworldly expert’s inheritance for me. Moreover, I wouldn’t have been promoted to the inner sect. Ultimately…I should be the one thanking you.”
Lin Yiya’s cheeks flushed slightly at Victor’s words, and she did not say anything else.
It was finally time for her to speak, and Lian Hua quickly grabbed onto Victor’s palm, using her slightly exaggerated acting skills to say, “w.a.n.g Cheng, you scared me to death!”
“Sis, don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”
“You’re lucky this time, but what about the next time? What about the following time? You can’t always turn misfortune into luck, and you won’t meet an expert every time!”
“I understand, sister. Don’t be angry.”
“w.a.n.g Cheng, no more next time?”
After saying that, Lian Hua turned around and returned to her room.
Looking at the endless stream of people outside, Victor rejected all of them on the grounds that he was sick.
Finally, it was quiet. Victor immediately recovered from his injuries and began to think about what he should do next.
First of all, this operation was a pleasant surprise. It helped Victor save a lot of time. For him, this was the best.
However, the clone he had created at that time was a little overblown. This caused Victor’s inability to fully control it. What kind of strength should he display next?
First of all, he had just entered the foundation establishment realm. Of course, it was impossible for him to break through to the spiritual pedestal realm in such a short time.
Then he could only improve his qi and blood power.
However, Victor had already defeated those who were in the same realm as him. If his qi and blood power reached the level of the spiritual pedestal realm, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of others.
“Sigh… Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time.”
With this thought in mind, Victor turned sideways and prepared to sleep.
When Victor opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. There was a clamor outside, unaware of what was going on outside.
After listening carefully, Victor realized that it seemed to be about himself.
He got up, washed up, and changed his clothes. Although his right hand was still bandaged, it did not hinder Victor’s daily activities.
As the noise outside grew louder, Victor pushed open the door and found a beautiful woman standing not far away. Whether it was her figure, appearance, or temperament, she did not lose out to Lian Hua at all!
If Lian Hua was said to be a narcissistic beauty that could bring disaster, then the woman in front of him was undoubtedly an ice-cold beauty. She could be seen from afar but not toyed with!
‘A domineering lady? I dig it!’
Victor was extremely shocked, but on the surface, he was unusually calm.
“You are Senior Sister Nalan Lengling, right?”
“Under the order of the elder, I will bring you and w.a.n.g Cui into the inner sect.”
“My sister tends to sleep in. Please wait for a moment. I will go and wake her up now.”
“It’s alright. There’s plenty of time. I will wait here.”
“We can’t let the elder wait for too long.”
Victor shook his head righteously and then turned around to return to his room.
Not long after, Lian Hua, who was rubbing her drowsy eyes, walked out of the room with Victor.
“Senior sister, sorry to keep you waiting.”
“Follow me.”
Nalan Lengling seemed to be a person who would die if she uttered a few more words. She was very stingy with her words and only spoke necessarily. She did not want to break her ice-cold beauty character. Victor had no objections to this.
After following Nalan Lengling, Victor and Lian Hua soon arrived at the inner sect of the Fire Sect. It was only now that Victor had truly joined the Fire Sect. Previously, he could only be considered as a reserve team.
Arriving at the spirit peak where the great elder was, Victor finally saw the old man who had been temporarily taking care of everything in the sect after the death of the sect master.
“You are w.a.n.g Cheng?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Mm… with strong bones and strong blood, you are indeed a rare genius. B grade talent is an underestimation of you.”
“Elder, you flatter me.”
“From now on, the two of you will become my disciples. You don’t have to be too formal.”
“I am lucky to be able to become the first elder’s disciple.”
“No, this is all your own hard work.”
The first elder shook his head and continued, “At that time, if it were me, I might have chosen to sit on the sidelines. Although people yearned for heroes, no one was willing to be the hero who sacrificed themselves.”
“Actually, I didn’t think too much at that time. I just felt the need to protect my fellow sect members, especially girls, who are weaker, to begin with.”
“Since you have such a heart, it means that I didn’t misjudge you. w.a.n.g Cheng, from now on, you are my disciple. Are you willing to be my disciple?”
“I am!”
Without the slightest hesitation, Victor answered this question on the spot.
“That’s great. Lengling, bring the little junior brother and little junior sister to understand the rules of the inner sect. At the same time, you can also customize a few sets of clothes for the two of them.”
“Yes, master.”
Nalan Lengling cupped her hands and bowed. Then, she turned around and left.
“w.a.n.g Cheng.”
“I’m here.”
“From today onwards, Nalan Lengling will be your senior sister. Don’t look at her as if she’s a stranger. In fact, she’s very friendly.”
“Why is the elder telling me this?”
“The purpose of telling you all this is to advise you to not get into a conflict with your senior sister because of her temper and personality. This is not beneficial to you at all.”
“I understand.”
“Very well, you may leave.”
The great elder waved his hand and motioned for Victor and Lian Hua to leave. Victor had no choice but to act along to the love scene.
