Chapter Fifty-Seven Outer Disciple

  "The wine is old, when are we going to the Zhenwu Gate?" After finishing dinner, Shangguan Yu asked. The meal just now was really worth it, so many delicious dishes, where had Shangguan Yu ever eaten? Not to mention eating, he hadn't even seen those things before.

  "You've all arrived at Zhenwu City, what's the hurry? Alright, alright, I'll take you over in a moment." Wine Old looked at the anxious expressions on the faces of several children and thought for a moment before saying, "This time you can only go by yourselves, it wouldn't be right for me to enter."

  Shangguan Yu looked at Jiu Lao with a puzzled expression, wondering what could make Jiu Lao feel embarrassed. Not just Shangguan Yu, but even Qin Shou and the others were thinking the same thing.

  "You stinky brat, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Is my face that thick?" Wine Old slapped each of the people above Officer Yu on the head, "Originally, I brought six people here, but now there are only five of you left. That is to say, one person died halfway, and I still have a face to see those old friends?"

  Shangguan Yu was also speechless. Shangguan Jiancheng's death couldn't be saved by Jiu Lao, it's just that Jiu Lao didn't want to save him. Maybe other old men wouldn't mind Shangguan Jiancheng's behavior as a child, but Jiu Lao did. Shangguan Yu didn't think Jiu Lao was wrong, not killing Shangguan Jiancheng was already very good. As for saving Shangguan Jiancheng, please, don't joke about it.

  "Are you going to leave us, Wine Old?" Shangguan Yu looked at Wine Old with reluctance, after being together for so long, everyone had developed feelings.

  "You kids, isn't it just a separation? I've been through so much, and separation is nothing. Wine Old rubbed the top of Shangguan Yu's head, "Moreover, you and I don't have any intersection either. Don't be sentimental, I'll send you to the location and leave. If those old friends see me, where will my face go?"

  Shangguan Yu looked at the situation and didn't say much. He just quietly followed behind Jiu Lao, while Qin Shou and others also followed behind Jiu Lao.

  "Zhenwu City is actually just a transfer station, and in the city lord's mansion, there is a transmission array that can send you to the Zhenwu Gate." Wine Old took out six small tokens, "This is your pass to enter the Zhenwu Gate, all of you take it. If you lose it, you will have come here for nothing."

  Shangguan Yu took over the token, feeling the yuanqi flowing within it. He knew that each sect's token was different, and the difference lay in the yuanqi flowing on top of it. As for the specific differences, Shangguan Yu couldn't know about them at this time.

  "Is the Zhenwu Gate not in Zhenwu City? Then where is the Zhenwu Gate?" Shangguan Yu thought that the Zhenwu Gate was indeed within Zhenwu City, but unexpectedly, Jiu Lao said that the Zhenwu Gate was not here.

  "You're still too young, and you don't know much about this world. Don't ask too many questions either. When you become a true disciple of the Zhenwu Sect, you'll naturally understand these things." Jiu Lao didn't say anything else and headed straight for the City Lord's Manor.

  Seeing the wine old not wanting to say more, Shangguan Yu also didn't ask much. He knew that even if he asked again, the wine old wouldn't say anything more. Moreover, he would soon be able to enter the Zhenwu Gate, and at that time, he would definitely know those things. Now he could only hold back his curiosity, let alone others who were also curious.

  "The city master's mansion is just ahead, you can go there yourself. Once inside, take out the token and someone will instruct you on what to do, I'll leave first." As soon as the wine old man finished speaking, he disappeared from Upper Official Yu's line of sight.

  "I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye, how could Wine Old just leave like that? Sigh, although Wine Old is often unreliable, this time I'm actually feeling a bit reluctant to see him go." Qin Shou looked at the place where Wine Old had disappeared, and let out a soft sigh.

  "Yes, I also find it hard to part with old wine." Li Ruolan said.

  Li Wei and Xiang Tianlang also nodded in agreement, they had great respect for Jiu Lao. Along the way, Jiu Lao had taken good care of them too. Normally, Jiu Lao wouldn't intervene, but whenever their lives were in danger, he would always come to their rescue.

  "Alright, let's go. I also miss Old Wine a lot. Once we've achieved our cultivation goals, we can naturally return to visit him." Magistrate Yu looked at everyone and led the way towards the City Lord's Manor.

  "Hehe, it seems that these little guys are not bad after all, it was worth my while to protect them along the way." After Shangguan Yu and others left, Jiu Lao's figure appeared again. "Not good, those people have come, I must hurry up and leave." Jiu Lao disappeared once more from his original spot.

  "Huh? I clearly sensed that old ghost's presence just now, where did it go? Did it leave?" Just as the wine was about to disappear, three figures suddenly appeared in its place.

  "Who knows? It seems that old devil has made some progress over the years," one of them said.

  "Never mind, next time I catch him, I'll teach him a good lesson. My treasured fine wine is all gone, that old devil must have stolen it." Another person chimed in.

  "Never mind, let's go too." The first person who spoke up said again.

  The three figures also disappeared on the spot, as if they had never been there.

  Shangguan Yu looked at the magnificent City Lord's Mansion in front of him, and he felt that the imperial palace of the Feiyu Dynasty was simply a beggar's dwelling. He still remembered that when he first saw the imperial palace of the Feiyu Dynasty, it was a sigh of extravagance. But now, after seeing the City Lord's Mansion of Zhenwu City, he felt that the Feiyu Dynasty was how frugal.

  "Halt, who goes there?" a guard at the gate shouted.

  "We are disciples who want to join the Zhen Wu Men, this is our token." Shangguan Yu took out his own token and gestured for the other four people to do the same.

  "Oh, so that's how it is. You follow me, I'll take you there." One of the guards said calmly.

  These guards were also outer disciples of the Zhen Wu Men, and the token that Shangguan Yu took out was also an outer disciple's token. They naturally didn't need to show any respect. Outer disciples of the Zhen Wu Men could indeed intimidate people outside, but within the sect they weren't considered anything.

  "You guys don't have to be so formal, from now on we're all brothers." The leading guard said with a smile. These five young men might turn out to be quite good in the future, and it's not bad for him to show some humility now. Earlier, he wouldn't dare do this in front of his fellow disciples outside.

  "Are you also a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect?" asked Shangguan Yu curiously. He didn't expect that a disciple of the Zhenwu Sect could only be a gatekeeper here, wasn't the Zhenwu Sect the supreme sect?

  Shangguan Yu's words, this guard naturally understood, but he didn't get angry either. "Don't think too highly of the disciples of Zhenwu Gate, we are just outer gate disciples and don't count for much inside Zhenwu Gate. Your tokens are also those of outer gate disciples, maybe you're geniuses where you come from, but in Zhenwu Gate, there are many more like you."

  "Don't blame me for speaking bluntly, this is just my temperament. In the past, I was also an outstanding talent in my hometown, but after coming to Zhen Wu Men, I found that talents like me are as common as cow hair. Of course, at Zhen Wu Men, I can no longer be considered a genius. We outer door disciples are actually not valued by the sect. You should know that above us outer door disciples, there are inner door disciples and elite disciples, those are the ones truly valued by the sect."

  "This brother is serious, how could we blame him for speaking straightforwardly? We just arrived and don't understand anything yet, so we should thank him for his guidance instead." said Upper Official Yu with a smile.

  Qin Shou and the others furrowed their brows, they hadn't expected that after all their hard work, this was just a single quota. It seemed that outer sect disciples didn't have any status in Zhen Wu Men. This made these proud sons of heaven temporarily unable to adapt, after all, they had been geniuses for so long.

  Shangguan Yu didn't have any particular feelings about it, after all, he had been called a waste since childhood. After arriving at the True Martial Sect, it was just a matter of starting from the bottom, which wasn't anything out of the ordinary. Moreover, this way was more challenging, if he were to be treated like a genius and fawned over as soon as he arrived, he wouldn't have been able to adapt.

  "So, after we arrive at the Zhen Wu Gate, will we be learning martial arts uniformly or choosing our own masters?" Since this senior brother was willing to speak, Shangguan Yu naturally wanted to ask a few more questions.

  "Hmm, after you arrive at the Zhen Wu Gate, you can choose a master. Of course, the masters of outer disciples and inner disciples are naturally different. Don't worry about this, after all, one person can worship many masters, and the master will not guide you too much."

  The guard and Shangguan Yu talked all the way, and Shangguan Yu also had a preliminary understanding of Zhenwu Gate. Of course, what he knew was just the opinion of this one guard in front of him.

  "Alright, we've arrived. The transmission array is just ahead. Once you pass through and show your tokens, someone will send you to the Zhen Wu Men." The guard stopped and said to Upper Official Yu and the others.

  "Then thank you, Senior Brother. You may take your leave." Magistrate Yu bowed his hands to the guard.

  Looking at the transmission array in front of him, Shangguan Yu became curious. This thing called a transmission array, he had never seen it before, only heard of it. He saw that there was a large gate in front of him, and many young men entered that gate and disappeared. Looking at their appearance, those young men were all going to enter the Zhenwu Sect.

  "You are also disciples who have entered the Zhenwu Sect, right? Line up here and when it's your turn, you can enter the transmission array." A middle-aged man walked over and said to Shangguan Yu and the others.

  Shangguan Yu looked at the long queue and estimated that he would have to wait for a very long time. However, since he had come here, he naturally had to follow the rules of this place. Qin Shou and others also lined up beside Shangguan Yu, anyway they were not in a hurry either.

  "Get out of the way! I'm going in first, don't block my path!" A loud and arrogant voice came from behind.
