Elder Dongmei nodded his head. "Your master has a pure heart. But He understands what dark hall does and why it is important for the sect. He does not approve of it, but he understands it is a necessity for the sect. It is not that you won't face such darkness in other halls or in other sects."
Dongmei continued, "But in our dark hall, we chase the darkness instead the darkness chasing us."
Han Cai looked at Palpatine. Palpatine really can quote well.
Then Han Cai shook his head and spoke, "I will be honest with you, elder. I understand what dark hall is doing. I understand the law of the world in which the strong prey on the weak, so one has to be strong and fight for their interest. I agree with your perspective of actively fighting for your own interests and conquering the darkness instead of waiting for it to catch up to you."
Elder Dongmei just looked at Han Cai wide-eyed. This kid really was wise. He understood everything the Elder wanted to convey.
Han Cai spoke, "But Elder, I have no qualms with killing or fighting with good or evil I do not mind it, but what I mind is when my interests are being affected. I am young, and my cultivation is very low. What I need right now is to work hard and cultivate not witnessing things like these?"
What Han Cai wanted to convey was simple. Leave me alone. I am young. Let me be in peace for now.
Elder Dongmei nodded. He stood up and was about to leave. Then he thought something and spoke to Han Cai, "There is someone who wants to kill you in the sect. In general dark hall should take care of it. But I will give you a chance. If you can take care of people who want to kill you, I will exempt you from going on such harsh missions for one year."
Elder Dongmei continued, "Don't worry about the consequences of handling those people. No matter who they are, my dark hall will protect you. But if you are not able to handle them, you can come to me. I will take care of it for you, but you have to follow my instructions and go to the missions I send you to do."
Elder Dongmei expected Han Cai would be shocked and ask more about people who wanted to kill him. But it was like Han Cai did not care. He did not look up or give affirmation. He Just kept sipping tea peacefully and ignored the elder Dongmei.
Elder Dongmei thought Han Cai was too traumatized seeing what he saw. He decided to leave Han Cai alone.
But when Elder Dongmei turned around He heard Han Cai's voice "2 years, I want two years."
Elder Dongmei gave Han Cai a curious look. He thought something for a while then nodded and left Han Cai's cave abode.
The reason why Han Cai was not surprised when elder Dongmei told him that some people in the sect wanted him dead because. He already knew about it.
How did Han Cai figure it out?
Han Cai stayed updated on inner sect happenings through his gray robes. He made sure to scan his gray robes frequently to confirm they were not having malicious thoughts about him. He did not trust anyone in this world, that's what great Daoist Murphy and his law from his last life had taught him. But nothing strange popped up until the second month they worshipped Han Cai.
But in the third month, things changed. When scanned, the system showed the gray robes were bored doing most of the chores in his abode, and their sentiments toward him were unfavorable. The moment he saw unfavorable, he knew something was up.
Earlier, they used to enjoy serving him and earning gold coins. Not everyone could get the opportunity to work for core disciples. Now they were bored doing it? Why did that happen? Han Cai's high perception warned him, or in Han Cai's words, his spider senses tingled.
Han Cai did not ask them what was wrong. He decided to use the perfect method to figure it out, which was the system. He asked the system to exchange information for points.
First, he asked, "why the gray robes had an unfavorable impression of him."
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ System answered, "It was because they were in love."
Han Cai almost fell down when he read this.
What's being in love go to do with him? Was he c**k blocking them, or was he trying to steal their women? Why were these numb nuts hating him? Hold up, where did these simps meet girls to fall in love with?
He asked the system again: "what's one thing got to do with another?"
System informed him, "When gray robes went to the outer sect to brag about life in the inner sect to their past subordinates and friends. They met these girls. Slowly they were seduced and fell in love with these girls. These girls kept saying negative things about Han Cai to the gray robes. Because the girls deeply seduced them. They started having an unfavorable impression of Han Cai."
So these simps were whipped, and those b****es were basically badmouthing him?
Han Cai asked the system, "why those girls were badmouthing him?"
System answered again, "because the outer sect elder instructed those girls to badmouth Han Cai to the gray robes and create an unfavorable impression of him."
Han Cai thought, "the plot thickens!!"
He continued asking the system in return for exchange points. It was not expensive. It cost him only around ten exchange points per question.
Han Cai asked, "why did the outer sect elder instruct them to badmouth him?"
The system gave a new response "Because the elder wanted to kill Han Cai."
Han Cai froze, "hold up! That escalated quickly."
He asked the system to stop sharing information step by step and line by line. He asked the system to get enough exchange points and share the whole information from where the plot to kill him began and who wanted to kill him, and why they wanted to kill him. He asked the system to give him all the details.
