The first day in the Inner Sect came as quite a shock to many people.
Even Jiang Man was no exception.
As the Outer Sect Number One, he should, by rights, have ranked first among those entering the Inner Sect that year.
Instead, he was twelfth.
But he was very curious about Wei Ran's cultivation, since he ranked thirteenth.
After all, they had come from the same village.
Wei Ran might even have mocked him when they were children.
When he was young, children would often pinch their noses at him and say, "My parents told me not to play with idiots."
Those children really knew how to offend people.
Of course, Jiang Man would not actually stoop to their level.
The villagers had already been good enough to him. Not only had they sent him to the Cloudfront Office, they had also paid two years of Cultivation Gold.
Only when Wei Ran, that Heavenly Pride, appeared had his Cultivation Gold stopped and been transferred to Wei Ran instead.
They had done everything kindness and duty could ask of them.
Still, curiosity aside, he did not rashly ask.
After all, the black beads would gradually reveal their cultivation over time.
Besides that, today's registration had been rather quiet.
He had thought Peak Master Bai's people would target him, but unexpectedly, all was calm.
Just as they finished getting acquainted and were about to leave, Fang Yong approached him.
The two went beneath a tree outside the courtyard.
"Young Master Fang, here to split the spoils?" Jiang Man asked.
It had been so long without the other man coming to see him that Jiang Man had thought he had pocketed the money.
After all, he still owed quite a bit himself.
It would be understandable if Fang Yong had pocketed it.
