Chapter 20 - The Vice President’s Shock

Translator: Lordbluefire

“Consider it carefully. Three months will pass by very fast, so this side job can be considered as making plans for your future,” said Shi Hua.

“Thanks for your kind intentions, but I’m not fond of little kids.” There was no solution to this. Wen Ping could only think of a random excuse to tactfully decline.

Just like what he expected, Shi Hua didn’t give up and was still considering things for him. After that, she even brought up the proposal that she would promote him to vice dojo head after he had worked for a full year. At that time, his pay would increase by several times, and he would have seven days of leave annually.

Honestly speaking, the benefits were very good.

If such preferential treatment was to spread through Cangwu City, many cultivators would be willing to head to Shi Hua’s dojo to work.

Wen Ping cast a glance at Yun Liao and admonished in a low voice, “Elder Yun, if you want to laugh, just laugh louder. It’s fine.”

“No, I’m just feeling happy for you. Vice dojo head, that’s a really good occupation. Sect Leader, you should seriously consider it.”

“Scram!”

Wen Ping ignored Yun Liao who loved teasing him. He then followed Shi Hua, directly ascending to the second level.

Shi Hua cast a casual glance at Yun Liao, feeling very curious toward this fair-faced scholar-like young man. 

It was because Wen Ping addressed him with the term ‘elder’.

However, she basically felt that this man was an ordinary person.

“Sir Yun, are you an elder of the Immortal Sect?”

Yun Liao nodded and replied, “Mn.”

Shi Hua shook her head and felt somewhat disappointed. After that, she turned to Wen Ping and said, “Wen Ping, the vice president of this Hundred Sect Alliance Branch can be found in the first room on the left. Just pass the information in your hands to her. I’ve greeted the president on your behalf.”

Wen Ping asked, “Are you not coming along?”

Shi Hua shook her head. Her eyes involuntarily glanced at the surroundings. “I’m not going. If I went with you to look for the vice president and got seen by people of the Reliance Sect, there would be trouble. Things are different now. I hope you can understand.”

“Alright. I’ll look for you after I settle this matter to treat you to lunch.”

“Mn, let’s speak about you joining the martial dojo later on then.”

“Let’s talk later.” Wen Ping felt helpless and had a bitter smile on his face. Why couldn’t he avoid this topic?

…

In the antique-looking place, sunlight streamed in through the wood-layered windows and landed on the bogu shelf near the windows. It passed through the jade plates and jade bottles on the shelf and painted the room in different colors, adding a hint of contrast in the atmosphere.

The purple flowers placed on the flower terrace are also blooming beautifully, exuding a sense of nobility, matching with the vice president who was sitting at the square desk.

Wen Ping had met this vice president once before. She was a woman that was over 50 in age. However, she was still as pretty as a flower, and it was rumored that she cultivated in beauty-enhancement cultivation arts. Although her cultivation base wasn’t high, she was proficient in management.

“Is he here?” Jiang Yueye glanced at the servant who just entered.

The servant respectfully answered, “Mn, Wen Ping is already waiting outside. Should I summon him in?”

Jiang Yueye coldly smiled and waved her hands. “Let him wait, he’s just a piece of rotten wood. Even though I’m doing a favor for that lass, Shi Hua, I can’t simply allow Wen Ping to meet me any time he wants to. It isn’t going to be so easy if he wants the three months’ safety period for his Immortal Sect.”

The servant nodded.

When the servant walked out, he closed the door in passing and continued walking before meeting up with Wen Ping who was waiting around the corner.

“Sect Leader Wen, the vice president is currently busy, please wait for a bit.”

“Mn, no problem. I’ll wait.”

Wen Ping also didn’t mind such matters. It was like this if you wanted to find someone to help you. It would depend on whether the other party had time and were they willing to give you the time.

However, he knew that if the Immortal Sect was still a 2-stars sect, the vice president of a mere branch would definitely treat him as a VIP.

No matter what they were busy with, they would definitely push it back. This wasn’t him fawning on himself but the truth.

An hour later, Jiang Yueye lifted her head and asked the servant who was waiting at the side. “Is he still waiting?”

“Yes, he hasn’t left.”

“Go and get the application from his hands and bring it to me, but don’t allow him to enter. In any case, what he wants is time and not really raising his sect’s star rank.”

Since it wasn’t a matter of raising star-rank, there was no need for her to meet Wen Ping.

A while later, the servant brought the application into the room and respectfully passed it over to Jiang Yueye. When she glanced at the first page, it was like she saw something special and couldn’t help but laugh lightly.

“An elder at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement. This Shi Hua actually dares to write something like this that barely meets the requirements of a 1-star sect for the sake of helping Wen Ping.”

The criteria for 0-star to 1-star wasn’t harsh. It didn’t request for the sect to own the entire Cangwu City, or have very deep foundations in certain aspects, or show its strength through fights.

There was only a single requirement – there must be an expert at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement within that sect.

“Mn? Why does the name of this cultivator at the thirteenth level of Body Refinement look so familiar?”

Yun Liao?

Surnamed Yun? The Cangwu City didn’t seem to have a clan with this surname.

The closest clan with the surname ‘Yun’ only existed in a city several hundred miles away. She had stayed there for over a decade in the past.

The more she looked, the more she felt this name to be familiar. She then glanced downward to read more and saw that in the excerpt about Yun Liao, Xingyue City was stated.

When she saw this, she suddenly recalled a matter from a few years ago.

Before she was transferred here, she once heard the clan leader of the Yun Clan in Xingyue City mentioning that his son would join the Immortal Sect.

Swish~

Jiang Yueye stood up suddenly.

“Invite Wen Ping in!”

The servant started. He didn’t understand why the emotional contrast of the vice president suddenly became so great. However, he didn’t dare to think too much and hurried out to invite Wen Ping.

“Sect Leader Wen, the vice president invites you in.”

“She is finally willing to meet me. Let’s go. Yun Liao, go in together with me. You are an elder of my sect and have the right to know why I came here today.”

After speaking, Wen Ping confidently walked in.

Yun Liao nodded and followed behind Wen Ping.

Upon entering, the servant spoke in a low voice, “Madam, Sect Leader Wen is here.”

Jiang Yueye waved her hand to indicate to him to stand at the side. After that, she stared at Wen Ping who was outside the door. All of a sudden, her gaze shifted!

She was looking at the person behind Wen Ping, and her eyelashes involuntarily started to flutter.

His gaze truly resembled the Yun Clan Leader.

That disposition and handsome face were extremely similar.

Could it really be him?

The young master of the Yun Clan really came to Cangwu City?

The strongest expert among Xingyue City’s younger generation, someone the branch of the Hundred Sect Alliance in Xingyue City wanted to recruit even in their dreams, actually came here?

By looking at him and the way he was following behind Wen Ping, could he really have joined the Immortal Sect?

Question marks spun around in her mind.

Jiang Yueye hurriedly stood up and spoke politely, “Sect Leader Wen, how have you been? You are becoming more and more handsome.”

“Vice president Jiang is also growing increasingly beautiful.”

Wen Ping smiled and replied something that wasn’t against what he felt.

After that, Jiang Yueye pointed at Yun Liao and wanted to confirm her speculation. “Sect Leader Wen, this is?”

“Oh, him? He is the new elder of my Immortal Sect, Yun Liao. In the future, he will definitely need to interact more with Vice President Jiang. I have to ask you to take good care of him.”

“From Xingyue City?”

“Vice President Jiang, are you guys acquainted?” Wen Ping was somewhat astonished.

Upon hearing Wen Ping’s words, Jiang Yueye grew certain in her heart. This man before her eyes was none other than the young master of the Yun Clan.

Although she might be astonished, she could still maintain a look of composure. She then explained, “We are not acquainted, but among the nearby cities, only Xingyue City has a clan with the surname ‘Yun’. So, it is not tough to guess..”
