See When He Finishes
Having endured years of pent-up hatred, Ye Qiu naturally wouldn't reveal it. He said calmly and confidently, "I'll just do my job well."
He was unwilling from the bottom of his heart to become the disciple of the enemy who had wiped out his entire family!
As for the tokens and such that were just taken out, they were all prepared in advance by the old man.
The seventh brother that the old man was talking about had already died at the hands of the old man.
The things he left behind actually did him a great favor, allowing him to quickly get close to the core leadership of the Nine Heavens Alliance.
Hearing Ye Qiu's rather arrogant words, Qiu Fenghan smiled but said nothing; his temper was just like Lao Qi's.
He waved his hand and said.
"I'm sending you to the outer sect. From today onwards, you are a member of the Nine Heavens Alliance. However, even though you are the seventh disciple, you still have to follow the rules. All newcomers to the Nine Heavens Alliance must start as outer sect disciples."
He paused, then added, "Of course, with your strength, you'll soon be able to enter the inner sect. There will be an outer sect assessment at the end of the month; your performance then will be crucial."
Ye Qiu nodded and silently followed behind the old man, listening to him introduce some information about the Nine Heavens Alliance, while in his heart he was plotting his revenge.
As the two walked along the road, Ye Qiu saw a large field where many people were working.
These people were all ancient Ancient Martial Artist, but their cultivation levels varied, with the highest being only around the Xuan Realm.
According to the information he got from the old man.
The Nine Heavens Alliance has over a thousand people living here, forming a large village, mainly composed of people with the surname Qiu.
The Qiu Family members practice ancient martial arts diligently from a young age. If they lack talent and strength, they can settle down here to farm or take care of other miscellaneous tasks.
Those with high talent focus on cultivation; the two have a clear division of labor.
After walking for a while, the Second Elder pointed to a group of buildings with a rather ancient style.
"This is the outer gate. You'll be living here from today onwards. Once you get there, go through the first gate to report for duty. Someone will take care of you. I have to go back now."
Ye Qiu nodded, thanked him, and walked over.
When he went inside, two middle-aged men were casually reading two paper books.
Upon seeing someone enter, one of them put down the book he was holding, titled "Jin Mei," and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it's been a while since we've seen a newcomer. Who brought you in?"
"I came in on my own; the Second Elder told me to come and report for duty."
Ye Qiu said calmly.
Upon hearing that it was the Second Elder who had sent them to report for duty, the outer sect disciple in charge of receiving them dared not be negligent.
As is customary, after asking Ye Qiu a few questions, he tossed a bunch of keys to Ye Qiu and discussed some precautions with Ye Qiu.
For example, outer disciples are not allowed to enter inner sect territory without permission.
After listening to the disciple's explanation, Ye Qiu nodded, took the key, and strode away, intending to go to his residence for a good rest.
Ye Qiu didn't even say thank you, senior brother.
The disciple in charge of reception frowned and muttered to his companion, "Damn it, this stinking beggar from outside has no manners at all. He comes up here and immediately mentions the Second Elder. Does the Second Elder even notice someone like him?"
"Hey, you're right. But someone who doesn't know the rules will get what's coming to him later."
His companion chuckled; both men shared the surname Qiu and were local natives of the Nine Heavens Alliance.
"By the way, have some fermented soybean juice. Old Niu brought it back last time; it's alright."
The disciple in charge of reception pulled out two packets of bird's nest coffee and grinned.
These disciples surnamed Qiu, whose cultivation levels were not high enough, were not allowed to go out, and they were quite curious about the new things in the outside world.
They found it quite interesting to drink this bean juice called coffee.
The outer gate complex consists entirely of courtyard houses, with four disciples living in each courtyard.
After Ye Qiu walked over, many outer disciples cast curious glances at Ye Qiu.
The Nine Heavens Alliance has high requirements for recruiting talent, so it rarely receives new blood.
He ignored these guys who should have been called his senior brothers.
He really looked down on those useless outer disciples, not even a few at the early stage of the Heaven Realm.
After finding his courtyard, Ye Qiu went inside, found the right room, and scanned the room with his eyes after opening the door with his key.
The interior was practically unfurnished, with only a bed, a wardrobe, a cabinet, and a table and chairs for dining—a remarkably simple lifestyle.
He didn't care about it; martial arts cultivation really doesn't require caring about these external things.
Besides, he came to the Nine Heavens Alliance for the revival of the Ye Family, not to enjoy himself here!
After taking off his shoes, Ye Qiu sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.
He needed to gradually adjust his internal energy cultivation method, separating the Yin and Yang energies in half and allowing them to flow into the 108 meridians for normal circulation.
He had only been running it for five minutes when someone knocked on the door and called out.
"Is he the new junior brother?"
He heard someone was looking for him.
Ye Qiu frowned, got out of bed with an impatient look, and went to open the door, only to find six or seven outer disciples standing outside.
Among them, the two with the highest cultivation levels were at the early stage of the Heaven Realm, while the rest were all at the peak of the Earth Realm.
They were all between thirty and forty years old.
This talent would be considered exceptionally prodigious even by outside standards.
But in Ye Qiu's eyes, these people were all worthless scoundrels. He asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"
"Oh, it's like this. We're all disciples from other families, and we came here specifically to get to know you, Junior Brother. You're new to the Nine Heavens Alliance, so you might not know much about us disciples from other families here..."
Before the man in the lead could finish speaking with a smile, Ye Qiu interrupted him, saying he was busy cultivating and closed the door.
The man who was turned away instantly turned ashen-faced, and the others didn't look too good either.
Within the Nine Heavens Alliance, there are relatively few disciples from outside the clan, so they are often bullied by the Qiu clan disciples who are native to the area.
To avoid being bullied, these disciples from other clans tend to stick together.
After learning that a new junior brother had arrived today, they thought they would try to win Ye Qiu over, but they didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant!
"Damn it, what the hell is this?"
"You're asking for it, aren't you? Don't come crying to us for help when that Qiu disciple tramples on you later."
"Forget it, Senior Brother Wang, there's no need to lower yourself to the level of this idiot. He's used to being treated like a genius outside, and he still thinks he's something here."
Several disciples from other families started cursing and swearing, while others tugged at the leader's sleeve, trying to calm him down.
These disciples from outside the Nine Heavens Alliance were there before they joined.
Who wasn't considered a prodigy, a promising talent for their sect?
Only after joining the Nine Heavens Alliance and realizing that he was nothing special did he learn to adjust his mindset and treat himself as an ordinary person.
The person called Senior Brother Wang is considered the leader of the outer disciples, and he has already reached the early stage of the Heaven Realm at the age of thirty.
The key point is that he is extremely skilled in combat. He can hold his own against a mid-stage Heaven Realm opponent, making him one of the most talented outer disciples.
He snorted coldly, his face displeased, and strode away, saying, "Let's see how long he lasts."
