Chương 57: Chapter 55: He can't cultivate

At last, he stood in the front. His four roommates were right behind him and the other 19 chief servants were standing beside him with their followers behind them.

"Brother Yao, Is that a new servant?"

"Hahaha, Are you given the responsibility to babysit? "

The nearby chief servants started talking to Yao as he noticed a 5-year-old boy with him.

" He's my little brother. You don't need to worry about him." Yao replied in annoyance.

" He was sent here as a servant at such a young age... What happened? Did his parents hate him? Or were they murdered just like your parents? " A voice came from nearby.

It belonged to a man in his early thirties. Who stood farthest from Yao. He was the chief servant of Ward 1. Known as the strongest servant in the outer sect.

He was already in the 7th stage of Body Refining Realm. Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to become an outer sect disciple.

Only those who had broken through to the 8th stage of the Body Refining Realm before the age of 15 were allowed to become the outer sect disciples.

"Are you looking for a fight, Zhang? I might be younger than you, but don't forget who won last time." Yao snorted as he glared at the man.

" Huh, It was an equal fight and I barely lost by half a move. I've grown much stronger since then. If you want to fight, then let's go to the arena and I'll show you my real Strength."

" Silence!" A voice filled with Qi echoed in the arena. People realized that it was the voice belonging to Elder Jim. They all turned silent.

They noticed a man walking towards them. The man looked to be quite old and had wrinkles on his face. He had white hair and a white beard that came down to his chest.

He was followed by 5 outer sect cultivators. Each of those cultivators was carrying a sack filled with some unknown materials.

The elder stopped in front of all the servants at a distance of 10 meters from them.

It's time for your monthly allowances. This month, all of you will be given 5 bronze coins and a spiritual enhancement pill.

The new servants who joined us this month shall be given the basic cultivation manual of the sect.

Your name will be called by him. Come accordingly to collect your allowance.

An outer sect disciple walked forth with the list and kept calling them one by one. The other outer sect disciples kept distributing the pills and coins to the servants.

Surprisingly, it took only 4 hours and most of the people got their monthly allowances and left. Only Yao and Xu Ming were standing in the arena at the moment.

Yao was also given his portion, but he was waiting for Xu Ming.

"Let's go. The work is done for today." Elder Jim said.

He turned back to leave.

"Wait a minute, Elder. Xu Ming didn't get his allowance." Yao called out as he saw Elder getting ready to leave.

"He? He's not getting any allowance. He broke something important of mine. Its cost shall be recovered from his monthly allowances. As for the cultivation manual, he's a grade 0 talent. He can't cultivate and won't need it" Elder Jim responded.

He didn't even look back as he talked.

"Wait a minute, Elder." As soon as he took his first step to leave, he was stopped by Xu Ming.

"Oh, so good name is Xu Ming. Anyways, Don't bother. No matter what you say, you won't be given any allowance. Do you know how expensive that orb was? Leave now."

The Elder finally turned back, but only to scold Xu Ming harshly.

"Elder, I'm fine with not getting anything. Just give me my necklace back. " Xu Ming said loudly.

" What necklace? What the hell are you talking about? " Elder Jim looked confused as he heard about the necklace.

" It was a coffin-shaped necklace that I had. " Xu Ming explained.

" A coffin-shaped necklace? I remember the battle fairy wearing a coffin-shaped necklace when she brought you to me. So that was your necklace?" Elder Jim was suddenly struck with the realization.

He remembered seeing a necklace on Battle Fairy Mia's neck last time.

"Yes! That must be my necklace. It's... it's really important for me. " Xu Ming was somewhat excited as he finally found the clue of his necklace.

" Forget that necklace. Now that the battle fairy has it, you won't be able to get it back." Elder Jim said.

" Let alone getting it back, you won't even be able to get near her. It's impossible to get inside the core sect even for an outer sect elder like me, let alone a weakling like you." He further continued.

" This... " Xu Ming wasn't even sure what he should say. He just stood there stunned as the elder left.

He was already told about the outer, inner and the core sect of the Mighty Demon Sect. He realized that the Elder was most probably not lying. But he still didn't want to give up.

'I somehow feel bad for the kid. He lost his parents, became a servant, lost his allowance and even his necklace that he cares about.' Yao sighed as he watched everything.

" Let's go back." He said.

He placed his hands on Xu Ming's shoulders and comforted him. Xu Ming didn't say much and simply walked back with him.

During the remaining part of the day, he was given the information about the work that they had to do. He stayed with Yao as Yao did the work of cleaning the sect and delivering the food for the disciples.

The day soon passed away just like this and it was already night time.

Xu Ming was lying on his bed, but he wasn't sleeping. All the others were already deep asleep.

Xu Ming stood up and got off the bed. He silently left the hut as he walked towards a certain direction.

The direction he was walking, was the one that led to the inner sect.
