CHAPTER 1982 RETURN TO THE SECT

Jiang Ning was so formidable, but he had been sentenced to become a Sinner and was being made to do menial work here.

He looked at Jiang Ning but didn’t dare to say anything. He reluctantly picked up the broom he had flung to the ground again and swept the leaves while wondering exactly who Jiang Ning was.

There were only two types of people in the sect who would be relegated to this place. Besides Outer Court disciples like himself who were taken into the sect at an older age, the other group was...

He suddenly froze on the spot and gulped as he looked a little fearfully at Jiang Ning. “Don't tell me...you're a senior from the Portico of the sect?!"

The sects here split the disciples into the Portico, Inner Court and Outer Court. He was someone from the Outer Court and wasn't eligible to be part of the Inner Court at all. Becoming a member of the Inner Court was something to be proud of.

As for the Portico, only the most gifted disciples were eligible to be members.

Zhou Yun had heard some time back about how more than ten members of the Portico had committed a huge mistake and were made Sinners. They had been sent to this secluded place and stayed here for a few decades!

In fact, apparently two of them had already died too..

This fellow was pretty highly skilled, so could he have been one of those Portico disciples?

When he thought about it this way, Zhou Yun immediately put a smile on his face and looked ingratiatingly at Jiang Ning.

"Senior? Did you just return?”

Jiang Ning glanced at him and really didn't like this fair weathered sort of person.

He had no idea how he had gone from being a Sinner to a Senior.

It was clear that the cemetery caretaker had been outside for too many years and there were many things he didn't know about anymore. "Just back," said Jiang Ning coldly.

Zhou Yun was now sure that Jiang Ning was really one of the Portico disciples that had been sentenced to this place!

That made Jiang Ning a big shot to Zhou Yun. Zhou Yun was going te make friends with anybody with a higher status than himself, even if this person was only from the Inner Court.

Zhou Yun was even more eager and quickly bowed before Jiang Ning. "Senior, if you have any instructions, I'll get it done for you!” This guy changed his attitude faster than the weather.

Jiang Ning glanced at him and said quietly, "I want to return to the sect. Can you help me?"This belongs to - ©.

Zhou Yun froze for a while.

Return to the sect?

Did that mean Jiang Ning had already been exiled from the sect and was no longer a Portico disciple?

This sudden change came too quickly for Zhou Yun

He had just decided to become friends with Jiang Ning and to butter him up so that Jiang Ning could help him in the future. But it seemed like Jiang Ning was in a worse predicament than himself now.

Zhou Yun knew-that once a disciple had becomes Sinner, they would be punishedyor a few months or evera few yearson average and that was it. Butif one was exiled from the sectxthen it would be hard tgveturn tothe sect. &

The only way was to re-enter the sect and start from being an Outer Court disciple, then slowly work your way back into the Portico. That was ridiculously difficult!

His expression immediately looked a little awkward and he wasn't sure whether he ought to be polite to Jiang Ning or completely ignore him

Even if Jiang Ning managed to get back into thesect, his fellow seniors and juniors, would despise him and> would even secretly trip him overs” After all, every additional member meant a fewer resources for> everyone. 4

Nobody wanted to see that others were doing better than themselves. That was an unsaid sentiment among everyone in the sect

"Hoho, Senior, you must be kidding. It shouldn't be difficult for someone at your level to return to the sect,” said Zhou Yun with an awkward laugh. “You wouldn't need my help.”

"I really do need your help,” said Jiang Ning.

He had just arciyed in this place and wasn't familiar with this universe at all, so he didn't even know the rules of Qingstan Sect at all. He had tar conceal his identity and find a way to ing rate the sect and get the antidote from the highest ranks of thé sect, so this looked like the only way.

"If you can help me to return to the sect, then I'll owe you a favor." said Jiang Ning as he looked at Zhou Yun. "If you need my help for anything in the future, you can just say the word.”

A favor?

It was easy to write a blank check.
