Chapter 4316: Myriad Sect Ward
In the past, the ward took care of important cultivators from all over Eight Desolaces. This time around, it had guests from minor sects such as Little Diamond.
The disciples from the big sects werenât that enthusiastic about the guests this time around. In fact, it would be polite enough for them to try to hide their disdain.
Because of this, the visitors needed to register and wait in line. Nonetheless, it wasnât for nothing since the behemoths also gave out items and resources despite the short length of the conference. This was another reason why many participated.
Little Diamondâs group came rather early but there was still quite a line in front of them. Nonetheless, Elder Hu knew what to do and led the disciples to the correct places.
âWhy are we assigned to the grass section?â However, there was a problem when it came to their temporary residence. Even the friendly Elder Hu complained to the disciples.
âThatâs the only place left.â An administrative disciple uttered coldly.
Even external disciples from the behemoths were considered prestigious. Thus, they didnât need to give Elder Hu any face.
âNo yellow rooms are left?â Elder Hu didnât buy it. He looked back and saw there was still a long line behind them.
The conference has always paid attention to detail. The more power, the better the treatment. For example, the lodgings were divided into five levels: heaven, earth, black, yellow, and grass.
Elder Hu had participated before and knew that according to the rules, they should be eligible to stay in yellow rooms. The grass rooms were meant for vagabonds and sectless cultivators.
Though they were weak, they were still a sect thus this was the wrong accommodation. Moreover, they werenât late either so there should be plenty of rooms left.
âThere are really no yellow rooms left?â The sects waiting in line behind him had members asking as well.
The grass rooms were tiny and meant for single occupants. On the other hand, the minor sects usually had a dozen members or so.
The administrative disciple didnât answer and only sat there.
âBrother, could you check again?â Elder Hu realized that something was off and said: âWe have more than ten members and canât stay in a grass room. Please, do us a favor.â He bowed afterward.
Despite realizing the intentional insult, he couldnât act out either. Insulting this administrative disciple might result in being kicked out.
âThere are five grass rooms, either stay or leave.â The disciple flatly answered.
âOnly five?â The elderâs expression soured. They couldnât fit in five rooms and they couldnât erect temporary buildings in this place. He hesitated, not knowing what to do.
âBrother, whatâs going on? Is there a problem?â Loud laughter could be heard from someone heading over.
Elder Hu and the disciples looked around and saw that it was none other than the sect master of Eight Demons along with his fellow sect members.
âLooks like you have to stay in the grass rooms. Too bad, you must have arrived late and there isnât any room left. Is this your new sect master? How about this, your sect master can stay with us, we still have room.â Eight Tiger tried to look generous and familiar, going as far as wanting to place his hand on Li Qiyeâs shoulder.
Alas, Li Qiye glared at him so he pulled back awkwardly.
Elder Hu understood that this was the continuation of their feud. Eight Tiger lost half of his members but didnât dare to retaliate due to the massacre last time. The conference was their chance to fight back while not assuming high risks.
Eight Tigerâs brother-in-law was Deer King from Dragon Sect. Perhaps the latter was here right now and had ordered the administrative members to cause problems for Little Diamond.
If Little Diamond couldnât endure and bark back, that might give Deer King enough justification to eliminate them.
Given his power, it wouldnât be hard for him to eradicate Elder Hu and the others since they were away from their sect.
âOkay, stop being a hindrance, there are people waiting behind you.â The administrative disciple became impatient and told Elder Hu, no longer caring about his decision.
âWeâll be going ahead.â Gao Qixin led his fellow sect members here and said.
âJunior Brother Gao, you can stay in the black rooms.â The administrative discipleâs mood changed and said: âDeer King said that if you need anything, just let us know. An elder from Dragon might come in the next two days.â
âAn elder from Dragon?â Those from smaller sects clamored upon hearing this.
Elders were big shots in their eyes, no different from deities. Any elder could easily destroy them with a single hand wave.
Thus, it was surprising to hear one coming to the conference. Was there something important happening this time?
âGao Qixin wants to follow an elderâs tutelage?â Someone boldly speculated.
Becoming an elderâs disciple was akin to a carp turning into a dragon.
âHe has even more potential than Deer King.â Someone else said. After all, Deer King wasnât qualified to become an elderâs disciple back then.
Elder Hu, on the other hand, confirmed that Deer King was here. The guy wasnât a grand character in Dragon but still proved to be a big threat to them.
âLet him know that I appreciate it.â Gao Qixin bowed and looked rather calm.
âHis future is so bright.â Many were jealous and envious since Qixin was assigned to a black room. Some found it imperative to please him in order to climb up his branch.
Remember, Maple Ravine wasnât stronger than the minor sects here but they only got assigned to yellow rooms while the former had a black room. This showed how much Deer King care about Gao Qixin.
âEnter the yellow section.â Once Gao Qixin left, the smaller sects were assigned to yellow rooms.
Meanwhile, Elder Hu felt humiliated by the blatant disdain. As for Li Qiye, he still had a smile on his face and didnât bother interfering.
