Chapter 592 - Someone Is Waiting for Di Jiu
Di Jiu was not aware of what prize the First Evolution Dao Sect had received. However, he could see from An Tuning’s expression that the prize was good. After rejecting the cultivator who wanted to purchase his jade card, An Tuning immediately led Di Jiu into the flying boat and back to the First Evolution Dao Sect.
This time, An Tuning did not ignore Di Jiu. Once they boarded the flying boat, she called him over.
Di Jiu knew that An Tuning wanted to give him some rewards and he did not mind getting more.
As expected, when Di Jiu arrived on the third level of the flying boat, An Tuning said with a smile, “Di Jiu, you have made a huge contribution to the sect. After the Sect Master comes out of seclusion, letting you become a core disciple will be one of the rewards. Apart from that, go ahead and name anything you want.”
Di Jiu hurriedly replied, “Valley Master, you have already given me an inner sect disciple position. If I ask for anything else, I will seem greedy.”
It was fine to want a benefit deep down, but he definitely could not speak up just because An Tuning had said so.
When she heard Di Jiu’s words, An Tuning was even happier. Regardless of whether what Di Jiu had said was true or not, she liked a disciple who knew his place.
“What prize is that inner sect disciple position considered? I might not be able to help with a huge matter. If it’s a small matter, I can help. Besides, I will still need your help later,” said An Tuning while gesturing with her hands.
Di Jiu suddenly had a bad feeling about this. What could he help An Tuning with? If it was alchemy, she probably would not take a Dao Modeling Alchemy Deity like him seriously.
“Alright, don’t worry. When we return this time, you should still stay in the Outer Sect Mountain for some time temporarily. When the Sect Master comes out of seclusion, I will recommend you to him as a core disciple.” An Tuning felt increasingly satisfied with Di Jiu’s words.
The reason she had changed her mind was because she felt that if she let Di Jiu stay in the outer sect first, she could still find Wang Teng.
Not only was Wang Teng the Peak Master of the Rain Evolution Peak, but he was also the Hall Master of the sect’s Disciple Hall. He was in charge of recruiting disciples but he had unexpectedly not discovered a genius like Di Jiu. Instead, Di Jiu was an outer sect disciple on the Outer Sect Mountain because Wang Teng had neglected his job.
Since An Tuning had discovered Di Jiu on the Outer Sect Mountain, she was far more capable than Wang Teng.
…
Di Jiu did not know what An Tuning was thinking. The Outer Sect Mountain was good enough for him. Actually, going to the Spring Evolution Valley was not as comfortable as staying on the Outer Sect Mountain.
Several days later, the flying boat landed on the hall of the First Evolution Dao Sect. An Tuning let Di Jiu return to the Outer Sect Mountain first while she immediately headed to the place where Sect Master Fei Xuan had entered seclusion and waited.
Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie had not returned his message. Therefore, he went to the Inner Sect Disciple Hall to inquire about them. After forking out 100 divine crystals, Di Jiu found out that the two of them were out on their mission.
Even though they had become inner sect disciples of the First Evolution Dao Sect, they still had to go on missions.
Di Jiu returned to the Outer Sect Mountain. Being a core disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect was not very important. There were only two important matters in his opinion. First, he had to go to the Dao Evolution Herb Garden to pick herbs. Second, he would follow Pang Ying to the Dao Ridge to have a look.
Before Di Jiu could reach the entrance of his cave abode, his Spiritual Force scanned his cave abode, which had been once again occupied by someone else.
The first time, he had not returned for a long time, so his cave abode had been occupied because it was a good spot. This time, it was definitely intentional.
As expected, when Di Jiu approached his cave abode, a cold voice said, “That’s right. You have guts indeed. You killed the Xun Family’s disciple, yet you still dare to come back?”
The Xun Family’s disciple? Di Jiu immediately thought of Xun Shang and sighed. In fact, he hated being involved in this kind of fight but he had still ended up in it. He suspected that An Tuning had killed Xun Shang, not just because of her bad mood, but also very likely because of the sect’s conflicts. It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
He was not the one who had killed Xun Shang. An Tuning had. He knew that even though this person was aware that he had not killed Xun Shang, he did not have the guts to find An Tuning. Thus, he could only find Di Jiu.
This was a Dao Birth expert. Di Jiu could sense some of his domain aura but was not afraid of him. However, he was not a fool either. Since this person knew that he had not killed Xun Shang but had still dared to stop him here, it meant that this fellow had some confidence. The person behind him probably did not fear An Tuning.
This First Evolution Dao Sect had a chaotic sense of management but was still one of the Five Major Sects. Di Jiu just wanted to spit in contempt right now. There was no major sect in the Dao World where there were many internal conflicts but was also worthy of being one of the Five Major Sects, right?
