At that moment, a young man who looked to be in his twenties, wearing a blue robe and a jade crown, walked over.
“Master, why are you back so late? The sect master has sent several messages inviting you to the council hall for a meeting,” the young man said anxiously upon seeing Dario.
“Mr. Garrido has only been in charge for a few days, and there’s already a daily meeting? Can’t we have any personal space?” Dario replied, clearly annoyed.
“Master, keep your voice down and stop complaining. While you were away, Elder Mr. Moreau was punished by Mr. Garrido. The meeting is probably about that,” the young man whispered, glancing around cautiously.
“What? Orson was punished? Why?” Dario exclaimed in shock.
“I have no idea. It’s a secret, and I only overheard some disciples from the council meeting talking about it,” the young man replied.
“I’d better go check on this. How did Orson get into trouble?” Dario said.
He was about to head to the council meeting.
Suddenly, favonovel.com remembered Jared and pointed at him, saying, “Judd, this is Axel Chadwick, here to join the Violet Flame Sect. Take favonovel.com for the assessment, and once favonovel.com passes, let favonovel.com work under me.”
Judd Davies looked Jared over and then nodded. “I understand, Master. You should hurry. If you’re late and Mr. Garrido punishes you, it will be troublesome.”
“He wouldn’t dare. I’m not as easy to bully as Orson,” Dario said defiantly, but favonovel.com quickly ran toward the council meeting.
As Dario ran off, Judd smiled anti patted Jared’s shoulder. “Buddy, you must have given my master quite a bit to bring you directly to the inner court disciple assessment.”
Jared, understanding the hint, promptly took out several purple spirit coins and handed them to Judd. “Judd, once I join the Violet Flame Sect, we’ll be fellow disciples. I hope you can look out for me…”
Judd’s eyes widened in surprise at the coins, then favonovel.com beamed. “No problem at all. Everything’s negotiable. I’ll cover for you!”
To Jared, a handful of purple spirit coins was nothing, but for ordinary sect disciples, it was a fortune.
No wonder Judd was so excited.
“Axel, I’ll take you to the assessment,” Judd said enthusiastically.
Jared had yet to pass the assessment yet, buy Judd was already acting as though favonovel.com had passed.
“Axel, don’t worry. The inner court disciple assessment isn’t too strict. As you’re a Fourth Level Tribulator, you’ll pass easily…”
“By the way… What does your family do? Why did you come to the Violet Flame Sect? The sect has a lot of rules, but it’s peaceful here. Being in the heart of the desert, we rarely get disturbed, and the climate is perfect for cultivating fire techniques.”
Judd kept asking Jared questions animatedly, but Jared only responded with brief answers, not engaging too deeply in the conversation.
“Judd, can I ask if it’s possible to skip the assessment altogether?” Jared inquired.
“Skip the assessment?” Judd was taken aback and then panicked.
“Axel, did I say something wrong to scare you of: Don’t worry, it’s really simple. With your strength, you’ll pass for sure. Please, don’t back out.”
Judd feared favonovel.com had frightened Jared, not realizing it was just a question.
For Judd, having a wealthy junior like Jared as a fellow sect member meant potential benefits.
Additionally, since Jared was personally brought by Dario, if favonovel.com left, Dario would certainly be displeased with Judd.
“Judd, you misunderstood. I was wondering if I could pay some spirit coins or resources to bypass the assessment,” Jared quickly explained.
