With heavy authority, the non-visitors and visiting relatives were strictly forbidden from getting close, and those who knew better should leave promptly.
"A female disciple in the Immortal Saint realm at the peak of cultivation swaggered."
"It's nothing, I'm here to report."
Dragon Wu Xian shrugged and said.
"Report? Hahaha, this silly boy hasn't woken up yet, right? What are you reporting about? Now is not the time for One Qi Gate to recruit disciples."
"Exactly, the time for recruiting disciples has passed for a day, why are you coming now? According to the rules of One Qi Gate, being late means giving up the opportunity. So, just leave as you came."
Two female disciples said impatiently.
Seeing this, Dragon Wu Xian almost fainted. Did these girls just describe him as if he was there that day? Turns out none of them were present that day?
"Hey, what are you all doing?"
Just then, a shout came from inside the gate, and it was Fei Yu, an outer disciple.
"Oh, it's Brother Yu, this guy said he's here to report, we were just about to kick him out."
One of the female disciples saw Fei Yu and quickly went up to respectfully say.
The ranking of disciples in One Qi Gate is very clear. The Immortal Saint realm is for registered disciples, the early and mid stages of the Immortal Emperor realm are for outer disciples, the later stage of the Immortal Emperor realm is for inner disciples, and the bottleneck stage is for mentor-level or registered elders.
These registered disciples guarding the gate naturally showed great respect to Fei Yu, an outer disciple, and did not dare to be negligent at all.
You see, registered disciples are the laborers in the sect, only through continuous effort and surpassing other outer disciples can one advance to become an outer disciple.
Fei Yu looked up, saw Dragon Wu Xian smiling awkwardly at him, and immediately went over, "Brother Long, you finally came. I've been waiting for you."
Seeing Fei Yu's respectful attitude towards Dragon Wu Xian, the several registered female disciples were dumbfounded.
Brother Long? Dragon Wu Xian?
They were no fools, Fei Yu's attitude had already revealed everything. The person who came to report and was the subject of their conversation was indeed Dragon Wu Xian, the dark horse.
At this moment, all four of them had the urge to vomit blood. They wished they could slap themselves a few times. They finally understood why Fei Yu occasionally came to the gate to check on things these past two days. It was all to wait for Dragon Wu Xian.
Dragon Wu Xian was invited to join One Qi Gate at the square in the Holy City by Master Han Yu, so saying he came to report today was not wrong at all. It was their own fault for making up stories without actually being there.
The group exchanged glances, all looking ashen-faced. With their identities and status, if they offended Dragon Wu Xian, who could possibly become the number one in the inner courtyard in the future, where would they find peace in the days to come?
"Brother Long, we sisters have been foolish, we hope Brother Long won't remember the offenses of us petty people, and won't treat us the same way."
"Yes, Brother, if we knew it was you, we wouldn't dare to be disrespectful even if we had a hundred times more courage."
"It's our fault for misjudging the situation... we're really sorry."
One by one, they walked up to Dragon Wu Xian, continually apologizing and showing the utmost respect.
"Brother, you see, these little junior sisters didn't mean it. You don't know, your reputation has spread across the entire One Qi Gate disciples these two days. Many people already treat you as a legendary figure, including them. They offended you because they didn't know you before."
Fei Yu said with a smile.
"It's nothing, I don't mind."
Dragon Wu Xian chuckled cutely. Now he had to learn to disguise himself in order to avoid too many resentful eyes.
"Ah... Brother Long is really magnanimous!"
The female disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother, let's go. Your living quarters have already been arranged for you."
Fei Yu said respectfully.
This was quite normal, considering Dragon Wu Xian once saved Fei Yu and the others' lives. Now that their savior had joined One Qi Gate, it was only right to show him their full respect.
"Alright!"
Since he wanted to act cute, Dragon Wu Xian couldn't miss those big watery eyes. He then followed Fei Yu happily towards the outer gate of One Qi Gate.
Watching Dragon Wu Xian's figure gradually disappear, the female disciples outside the gate couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, filled with confusion.
"We didn't expect Brother Long to be so young and... so friendly?"
"Yes, we disrespected him, but he didn't blame us at all. He even gives off a childlike vibe."
"Yeah, mischievous and cute..."
Dragon Wu Xian's image left them amazed. He had become a more mysterious figure among the disciples.
There was no choice. To survive in the fierce world of the celestial realm, one had to learn how to feign madness and act stupid, because the stronger someone was, the less likely they would harm a fool.
Under Fei Yu's guidance, Dragon Wu Xian received his own sign from the elders at the door, equivalent to an identification card.
"Brother Long, from now on, you are officially a disciple of One Qi Gate."
Fei Yu clapped his hands.
"Uh-huh, show me to my place."
Dragon Wu Xian had no habit of wasting words and was excited to ask about his residence.
"Sure, follow me, Brother."
Fei Yu led the way towards another hilltop.
The dormitory area for outer disciples was the largest. They were all gathered on top of a hill, each with rows of seemingly small courtyards. Each courtyard had enough rooms for cultivation.
Inside each courtyard were five rooms for five people, but the courtyard Dragon Wu Xian was led to was isolated.
"Brother, this is the courtyard Moon Sister opened for you. You live alone, very quiet, and no one will disturb your practice in your free time. Moon Sister is ranked first among the outer disciples, and this is the reward she received from the sect. Now it's specially left for you by Fei Yue Sister."
Fei Yu said with envy as he approached.
"What? She left this courtyard for me, then where does Moon Sister live?"
Dragon Wu Xian asked with amazement on his face.
"Don't you know yet? Moon Sister was promoted to the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm on the day you returned. She has already reported to the inner court."
Fei Yu said.
"That's really worth congratulating Sister Moon."
"No, Sister Moon actually met the standard a long time ago. She just didn't feel like going to the inner court. According to her, it's better to be a head chicken than a tail phoenix!"
"Haha, it seems she cares about her face?"
Dragon Wu Xian laughed, his impression of Fei Yue was still good, and Fei Yue's talent was not bad. She must have gained significant benefits in the outer disciples' competition, breaking through the bottleneck upon returning and agreeing to become an inner disciple. It was a good thing, and Dragon Wu Xian was naturally happy for her.
Moreover, Fei Yue going to the inner court now, and leaving such a good place for him, showed that she was considerate.
Dragon Wu Xian noted this in his heart. After all, since he was young, he had enjoyed peace and solitude. He never liked living with others, not even his own siblings.
Entering the main gate of the outer court, there were already dozens of female disciples and fewer than ten male disciples standing inside. Judging by their cultivation, they were almost all outer disciples, including Fei He and Fei Xue who were there to welcome him.
