After walking around for a few minutes and following the building numbers, Yuan finally arrived at building #70, and it was a large building with two floors.

"This is definitely better than the previous house, but this might be a little too much of an improvement…" Yuan stood in front of the building for a minute to admire the aesthetics of these buildings.

"Congratulations on pa.s.sing the disciple examination, Fairy Min! Of course, we knew you'd pa.s.s the examination before you even took it!"

"Forget about pa.s.sing the examination! Fairy Min had achieved 50 steps in the silver pond! It has been seven years since someone managed such a feat! I'm sure the Min Family will be ecstatic once they hear of this!"

"How would you like to celebrate this occasion? Should we have a feast at the Dragon Pavilion later?"

"That sounds like a great idea! What do you think, Fairy Min? The food's on us!"

When Yuan overheard this conversation, he turned around and noticed a large group of disciples walking with a beautiful young lady— Fairy Min. However, these disciples were not wearing the Outer Court's uniform.

The Outer Court disciples are given plain white clothes as their uniforms, whilst the Inner Court disciples get to wear colorful blue and green uniforms, and that was what the majority of the disciples following Fairy Min were wearing.

"Hm?"

Fairy Min suddenly stopped walking when she noticed Yuan standing not far away, and the other disciples also stopped to look at Yuan.

"Who's that guy? I don't recognize his face." One of the disciples there said.

"I don't either."

"Then what's he doing in this area?"

"Looking at his uniform, he's only an Outer Court disciple. Besides Fairy Min who's from one of the Seven Legacy Families and the top-ranking disciples, how many Outer Court disciples get to live here? He must have gotten lost or something."

While the disciples mumbled to each other trying to figure out Yuan's ability, Fairy Min narrowed her eyes and stared at Yuan with a pondering expression.

'Why does it feel like I have seen him somewhere before?' Fairy Min thought to herself.

She was confident that she has never seen Yuan before, yet she couldn't shake off this feeling that she has seen him somewhere before, and it was very recently, too.

However, her thoughts were quickly interrupted by the disciples around her.

"Hey! You there! What do you think you are doing in this place?! This is not a place where ordinary Outer Court disciples can just wander around! Get out of here!"

Hearing the disciple's question, Yuan responded in a calm voice, "But I live here."

"What? You live here?"

The disciples exchanged glances with each other before one of them asked, "Are you a new disciple? Which family do you belong in?"

"Yes, I just pa.s.sed the disciple examination, and I don't belong to any family," Yuan said.

"How can a n.o.body— a new disciple, no less, be a.s.signed a house in this area meant for the privileged? Did the sect elders make a mistake somewhere and accidentally gave him the wrong house?" One of the disciples spoke his thoughts out loud.

"That must be a case! Although it's uncommon, mistakes like this are bound to happen every so often."

The other disciples quickly agreed with the disciple who just spoke.

"You heard us! There must have been a mistake that allowed you to get a house in this place! Return to the sect elder who handed you your identification token and tell him about the mistake! If you want to live in this area, you must either be ranked top 10 in the disciple ranking for the Outer Court disciples' ranking or come from a prominent family like Fairy Min here! Hurry up and get out of here! You're ruining our moods!"

"..." Yuan was speechless. These disciples were essentially telling him to tell Grand Elder Xuan that he'd made a mistake!

After a moment of silence, Yuan said to the disciples, "I don't think there were any mistakes. Now if you'll excuse me, I would like to settle down in my new home."

Yuan turned around and began walking towards his house.

The disciples were dumbfounded by Yuan's daring response.

Meanwhile, the disciple who just told Yuan to

"The audacity! Do you know who you are talking to? I am an Inner Court disciple! Since you are a new disciple, I won't blame you too much! However, for you to claim that you live here despite what we told you whilst being a n.o.body— that's spitting in the faces of everyone that lives here, which includes Fairy Min! Therefore, I am going to need you to get on your knees and apologize to her!" The Inner Court disciple stepped forward and pointed at Yuan with an overbearing aura.

Yuan was speechless. It hasn't even been half a day since he got to live life as a disciple and he's already in an awkward situation with other disciples.

"Do you hear me?! Get on your knees and apologize to Fairy Min!" The Inner Court disciple repeated, seemingly adamant about making Yuan apologize.

However, despite his humble nature, Yuan was not the type to apologize for something he didn't do, especially if the other party was being unreasonable!

"Why should I apologize? If there has truly been a mistake with my lodging, I will leave. However, you did not hand me my identification token so you don't know that, yet you are telling me to apologize. Don't be unreasonable," Yuan said to the disciples with a slight frown on his face.

And he continued, "If you want to continue arguing that I don't belong here, you can bring a sect elder here and we can settle it that way. Until then, I am going to stay here. Goodbye."

Yuan turned around and opened the door with the identification token before walking inside.

"Get back here, you little b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

Yuan heard an angry shout as he entered the building, but he ignored it and closed the door, leaving the people outside completely speechless, as this is the first time they have encountered an Outer Court disciple like Yuan.
