Chapter 32 The Promotion Contest For Grunt Disciples (Part Two)

All right then. Now, do what you all must!

Steward Lu dismissed himself and disappeared instantly. After making the announcement, he had no further interest in mingling with the grunt disciples.

After he left, some of the grunt disciples started discussing. Apparently, Steward Lu's comment on Austin made them feel jealous.

Steward Lu had never talked to any of them like that since he took over the management of grunt disciples.

But just then, just today, he spoke with Austin directly.

Every grunt disciple wanted to make a mark on Steward Lu's mind. And witnessing how the steward talked with Austin made them envious.

They wonder what was so special about Austin that piqued the steward's interest.

Among the jealous disciples was Matias. He was furious as he glared at Austin hatefully.

He had always considered himself above the other grunt disciples since he entered the sect. The other grunt disciples also looked up to him. Everywhere he went, he was always the center of attention.

But just now, Steward Lu didn't even mention his name or looked at him longer.

Instead, the steward paid more attention to Austin and even spoke to the latter.

It was something that Matias could not easily let go. He wanted to rush towards Austin and grind him beneath his heel. He wanted to tell the world that he was the one worthy of attention.

But eventually, he calmed himself down. He looked at Austin with his furious sharp eyes before he finally turned around and walked behind his wounded companions.

Meanwhile, Austin didn't even look at Matias and his companions.

However, deep down, he understood that Matias had his own reasons to hate him.

The feud between Matias and Austin began in an accident.

It started not so long ago when Austin accidentally sneaked into a small forest near the grunt disciples' settlement that he found two naked grunt disciples in the middle of rough sex.

One of them was Mati

had lived two lives. He had much experience than anyone in the sect. And in his previous life, he was an experienced Assistant Sales Director in modern society, so he had his share of unkind words.

"We're here to purchase some elixir for healing wounds. What can you recommend?"

"Elixir for healing wounds? You mean, you want to purchase some?"

The Medicine Hall disciple glanced at Austin and mocked, "The elixir is not something people like you can afford. The cheapest remedy I have here is Golden Sore Powder that costs one vital energy crystal per pack. This kind of medicine is good for scalds, cuts, mosquito bites, dizziness, and headaches."

The Medicine Hall disciple's words were full of contempt when he spoke, and he stared at Austin and Evan disdainfully.

He could see that Evan was badly injured, but he could not believe that the two grunt disciples could afford an elixir.

He knew too well about their financial conditions. The grunt disciples received their allowance of only 3 vital energy crystals per month. Even if they saved it for a year, it would only sum up to 36 vital energy crystals.

On the other hand, the price of an elixir would be at hundreds of vital energy crystals. So, there was no way these grunt disciples in front of him could afford an elixir.
