Chapter 113 -113: The Sect Leader, Part-2
"Wait, why are we even questioning why we call her the Sect Leader? It's obvious from what I said. She is the Sect Leader, so what else am I supposed to call her?" Jiang Hong responded, giving Wang Ming a perplexed look.
"I understand that, but aren't you the Sect Leader?" Wang Ming asked, his voice filled with disbelief, causing Jiang Hong to freeze in shock.
"Well, I am the acting Sect Leader, but she is the true Sect Leader of the Yang-Yin Sect. But how did you know that I am the Sect Leader? This is our first meeting, right?" Jiang Hong asked, narrowing his eyes suspiciously.
"Ahem, I happened to ask one of the disciples about the Sect Leader, and they mentioned your name, Jiang Hong. When I heard that she was also addressing you by the same name, I put two and two together and figured out that you were the Sect Leader," Wang Ming lied confidently, maintaining a poker face. He didn't want to reveal his Soul Eyes ability, which seemed to convince Jiang Hong
"Why didn't anyone recognize you as the Sect Leader? And why were they calling you 'elder' instead?" Wang Ming asked with genuine curiosity, casting an inquisitive gaze at Feng Chang.
"Hehe, the reason for that is if everyone knew I was the Sect Leader, I wouldn't be able to roam freely within the sect and enjoy my life. I'd be burdened with all the Sect duties, which I'm simply too lazy to handle," Feng Chang replied nonchalantly, devoid of any shame. Her words caused everyone's eyes to twitch in disbelief while Jiang Hong and Lei Ping sighed in defeat
"If I were the Sect Leader, would I have been fortunate enough to engage in Dual Cultivation with you? No wonder my daughter, Feng Mei, has taken a liking to you," Feng Chang purred, his voice carrying a seductive tone.
" Your daughter? Have I had the pleasure of meeting her before?" Wang Ming pretended ignorance, playing along.
"Yes, she's the woman who was in charge of overseeing the entrance exam. Remember her? She is my daughter," Feng Chang revealed, prompting Bai Lingxi and Shi Yu to recall the captivating woman who they had seen during the entrance examination
"Disciple Wang Ming, what kind of Yang Physique do you possess?" Lei Ping addressed Wang Ming as "disciple" since he had already passed the exam, asking inquisitively.
"I have a Pure Yang Physique," Wang Ming replied nonchalantly.
"Huh? I've never heard of this physique before. Have you heard of it, Supreme Elder?" Jiang Hong turned to Lei Ping, who stood there with his mouth agape and frozen in shock.
"Are you serious, Disciple Wang Ming?" Lei Ping asked, his tone filled with disbelief.
"Hmm, yes," Wang Ming affirmed, causing Lei Ping to hurriedly catch his breath in excitement.
"Hmm, Supreme Elder, do you have any knowledge about this Pure Yang Physique?" Jiang Hong asked, his voice tinged with confusion.
"Indeed, I have come across this Physique in an ancient book. It is said to be a Divine Rank physique that appeared millions of years ago. It is believed to be the ultimate Dual Cultivation physique, unparalleled in its capability," the Supreme Elder spoke with excitement, leaving Jiang Hong in shock and even Feng Chang, who had Dual Cultivated with Wang Ming, speechless.
"Y-you really possess a Divine Rank Physique?" Jiang Hong asked, his voice trembling with astonishment. Wang Ming nodded in agreement.
"Heavens, this is incredible! Initially, I thought you only had a high cultivation level and exceptional combat skills. I never expected you to possess such a rare Physique," Jiang Hong's face lit up with excitement as he regarded Wang Ming as a priceless treasure, contemplating the powerful women who could be cultivated with his assistance.
"Cough, you're making him uncomfortable, Acting Sect Master," Lei Ping interjected upon noticing the uneasy expression on Wang Ming's face.
"Here, take this. It's a Core Disciple token, which proves that you are now a Core Disciple of the Yang-Yin Sect," Jiang Hong said, tossing the token towards Wang Ming. However, a frown appeared on Wang Ming's face.
"Hmm, shouldn't I start as an Outer Court Disciple first?" Wang Ming questioned curiously.
"Indeed, traditionally, one would begin as an Outer Court Disciple. However, considering your cultivation level and combat skills, which are only surpassed by or equal to the Sect Master, not to mention your possession of the Pure Yang Physique, I believe we can directly appoint you as a Core Disciple," Feng Chang, who had remained silent until now, informed Wang Ming.
"Hmm, I think I would prefer to start as an Outer Court Disciple and gradually work my way up to becoming a Core Disciple," Wang Ming announced, causing shock to ripple through the others.
"Oh, why would you choose that? Wouldn't it be better to skip the unnecessary grind?" Feng Chang asked curiously. Even Jiang Hong and Lei Ping perked up, eager to hear his reasons.
"There are two reasons. Firstly, I would like to experience the life of a regular disciple in a sect. This is my first time entering a sect, and I want to understand the journey from the ground up," Wang Ming declared, prompting Lei Ping and Jiang Hong to look at him in awe and respect. They knew how many people would do anything for the opportunity he had just declined.
"The second reason is that as a Core Disciple, I would be exempted from performing tasks outside the sect. However, as an Outer Sect Disciple, I can venture outside to fulfill the sect's assignments. I don't want to confine myself within the sect at all times," Wang Ming calmly announced, expressing his rationale.
"Well, there is another reason as well," Wang Ming thought to himself, not voicing his inner thoughts. "If I were to become a Core Disciple, wouldn't I be neglecting my duty to the women of the Outer and Inner Courts who have yet to experience true pleasure in their lives? Additionally, by remaining an Outer Court Disciple, I can continue to accumulate points for each new woman I connect with."
