It can be seen that Zheng Hao was intentionally joking and making fun of Teacher Wang Li, and he had no malicious intent.
However, He Lin still smiled and came to Wang Li's rescue, saying, "Wang Li is very caring towards us and provides excellent support for our training and daily life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been promoted to Sword Master so quickly."
"Did you hear that?" Teacher Wang Li immediately said to Sun Hao proudly.
Zheng Hao smiled and shook his head. Wang Li was still the same, a careless person. He couldn't understand the meaning of Li Feng's words at all. Although he was indeed defending Wang Li, he didn't say anything false. The information he gave was also a tactful confirmation of his own words. Both of them were saved face.
What an amazing person!
Exempt class? Zheng Hao was a little disgusted by this.
"You are from the exemption class. Which wealthy family are you from?" Zheng Hao asked He Lin with a smile, but He Lin felt a hint of hostility hidden in the other's eyes.
If there is hostility on the first meeting, it shouldn't be towards me, but towards my background.
Exempt class! He was hostile to the students in the exempt class! The students in the exempt class were always from aristocratic families, with few exceptions. It seemed that Zheng Hao was very disgusted with aristocratic families!
"I'm not from a wealthy family, but from a noble family. Thanks to my sister, I was able to attend the exemption class."
"Your sister is..." Zheng Hao was a little surprised when he heard the answer. It was completely different from what he had imagined. When he heard the word "sister" later, he already had the answer in his mind, but he still asked it, as a kind of verification.
"My sister, Li Yu, had the honor of becoming a true disciple of the Jade Water Sword Sect six years ago." He Lin replied with a deliberately proud tone.
"Master Li Yu! I've had the pleasure of meeting you twice. You're truly a natural talent," Zheng Hao exclaimed in admiration. Then, with a kind look in his eyes, he said to Li Feng, "You're quite talented, too. The key is that you work hard. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been promoted to Sword Master in just your first year. Your sister's hard work hasn't been wasted. Not bad, not bad..."
Teacher Wang Li also told Zheng Hao about Li Feng's performance in the qualifying round in real time. It was only when he mentioned that he defeated the sword maniac Fang Yuan that Zheng Hao showed a surprised expression.
"What a powerful fighting talent." Zheng Hao was full of praise for Li Feng's fighting talent. As for the fact that he was promoted to a swordsman in the first grade, he was not too surprised.
Apparently, being promoted to Sword Master in the first year wasn't such a big deal; there were probably only one or two people like that every year. Zheng Hao, the gatekeeper, had seen many such people and wasn't surprised by them.
However, it is a rare thing for Zheng Hao to be able to defeat a sword fanatic who is said to be invincible in the same level.
When he heard that his natal flying sword was made of clear water black iron, he was even more envious.
"Blue Water Black Iron! What a wonderful thing! Lord Li Yu has high hopes for you!"
It seems that the clear water black iron that Li Yu got is really a good thing. Even the knowledgeable Zheng Hao expressed envy. Li Yu is really good to his younger brother.
Entering the island, Teacher Wang Li introduced: "This is the Mountain Gate Island, also known as the Welcoming Island. Following it are the Inheritance Island, Inspection Island, Collection Island, Demon Exorcism Island, Reward and Punishment Island, and Sword Tomb Island."
Then he flew over this island and headed towards the second inheritance island, saying as he flew, "We are going to the inheritance island. There, you will complete your initiation procedures, confirm your status as an outer disciple, receive the swordsmanship inheritance of the sword master level, and obtain your new position."
"Position?"
"Yes! Of course it's a position. Once you become an outer disciple, you naturally have to start contributing to the sect! Generally, newcomers have three positions to choose from - Inspector, Collector, and Demon Exorcist. When the time comes, you will have to make a choice."
"Teacher and Senior Brother Zheng Hao, do you have any suggestions?"
Teacher Wang Li hesitated for a moment and said, "As long as it's not a folk song collector, it's fine."
Zheng Hao smiled calmly and introduced: "The Collecting Envoy is a tiger sitting on the mountain. He stays in one place without moving, collecting intelligence information and mediating conflicts between various forces. If there is no special situation, he will stay there for his whole life, which helps them to manage their power. He is most liked by disciples from aristocratic families." That is to say, the Collecting Envoy is the sphere of influence of aristocratic families.
"The Inspector is a patrolling tiger. He has no fixed territory and has to leave each city after one to three years. However, he is temporarily given considerable power when doing things and can do some practical things. He is most liked by ordinary people and disciples from the gentry." It seems that the Inspector is the sphere of influence of ordinary people and the gentry.
"Although the Demon Exorcist is also a powerful official, he doesn't have much real power. Moreover, this position is the most dangerous of the three. However, the reward is the merit points that are universally used by the four major sects. This position is also a place for disciples who have committed minor crimes to atone for their sins. The merit points can offset the penalties for some minor crimes."
"It's also a favorite haunt of some battle fanatics. It's also a place for disciples abandoned by Caifeng Hall and the Inspection Office to find refuge."
"It's also a place for disciples who are in urgent need of merit points. Merit points and contribution points can only be traded with the sect, not with other people. Therefore, those who need merit points can only do demon-slaying missions. Even inner disciples are no exception. Of course, they won't serve in the outer sect's demon-slaying hall with outer disciples. They have their own exclusive demon-slaying missions for inner disciples to choose from."
"However, in comparison, those missions are more difficult, unlike the simple and safe demon-slaying missions of the demon slayers."
Zheng Hao was knowledgeable and talkative, and especially once he'd decided you were one of them, he'd openly share many of the ins and outs of the matter. The value of this information was inestimable for a newbie like He Lin. He Lin was extremely satisfied with what he'd gained from revealing his identity and showing goodwill to Zheng Hao.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng Hao, for your guidance." He Lin responded sincerely.
"You're welcome. We're just friends." Zheng Hao waved his hand nonchalantly.
"That's true. I'll have to trouble Brother Zheng more in the future." He Lin said with a smile.
"Haha... Not bad, really good. Work hard, whether you choose to be a wind collector or a demon slayer, you will do a good job."
"Thank you for your good wishes."
The two of them smiled at each other knowingly, and Teacher Wang Li shook her head.
"How hypocritical! Why are you being so polite?"
The two did not refute Teacher Wang Li's words and smiled at each other again.
In fact, the two had just completed their alliance. From then on, He Lin officially joined the faction formed by ordinary people and nobles among the outer disciples of the Bishui Sword Sect.
In fact, he had no choice. One reason was that his background determined that he was naturally a member of this faction.
Another reason is that his sister had already joined the faction of ordinary people and nobles in the inner sect. Li Yu was his backer in the Bishui Sword Sect, so no matter what, he was a member of the faction of ordinary people and nobles, and he had no other choice.
But there is a big difference between passively joining and actively joining. You also need to manage your own influence and personal connections.
So after Zheng Hao's implicit invitation just now, He Lin agreed without hesitation and became a member of their faction.
In this way, I believe he will be able to get a lot of conveniences immediately, and his life in the outer gate will be much easier.
