nZhao Luo with Senior Cutie moved towards the green door, which looked like a short box as they were very far from it.

nThis just showed how big the entrance zone of the outer hall was.

n

"So where is your badge?

"

nZhao Luo asked Senior Cutie while giving him a suspicious look.

nSenior Cutie could understand the meaning behind Zhao Luo's look.

n'He is giving me a chance to test me. How cute!'

nWhile having this thought in his head, senior cutie raised his hand, and a silver ring could be found on his index finger.

n'Shwaa~'

nZhao Luo could see his senior taking out a black badge from the silver ring and placing it on his chest.

n'∆'

nThe black badge on Senior Cutie's chest clearly showed that he was a ninth-level outer disciple.

n

"You...

"

nZhao Luo looked stunned but that only lasted for a moment as a smile crept on his face and a playful look could be found in his bright eyes.

n

"Didn't you say that you had forgotten to bring your badge today?

"

nZhao Luo questioned Cutie with a serious tone. Not letting him know that he was just getting back at him.

nBut Senior Cutie was a shameless weirdo nonetheless someone who would be taken back by such a simple crosscheck question.

n

"Did I?

"

nInstead of answering Zhao Luo, he replied with a simple question and sped up his steps.

nZhao Luo couldn't help but shake his head while watching the shiny head of Senior Cutie who was blatantly acting like someone with amnesia.

nJust like that both Zhao Luo and Senior Cutie tried getting at each other's throats with simple taunts that not even a middle schooler would use.

n

"Baldy

", Zhao Luo said while grinning.

n

"Ugly

", Senior Cutie replied without even blinking his eyes after listening to Zhao Luo's remark.

nZhao Luo sped up and caught up to him and as they walked together, Zhao Luo looked at Blady with a funny gaze.

n

"You don't believe that right?

"

nZhao Luo lightly tapped Senior Cutie with his elbow while waiting for his answer.

n'How could I, Zhao Luo, be ugly?'

nZhao Luo thought as baldy's remark didn't make sense but Zhao Luo did feel hurt.

n

"Hehe. What if I do?

"

nSenior Cutie replied to Zhao Luo while looking at him amusingly.

n

"Well, then you look like a female monk.

"

nZhao Luo told him with a smirk.

n

"You.

"

nSenior Cutie stopped whatever he was going to say and kept his sight up ahead on the green door.

n

"Practice silence. It will give you a better temperament.

"

nSenior Cutie advised Zhao Luo as he didn't seem to have a better comeback.

n

"Indeed.

"

nZhao Luo, who still had the smirk hanging around his mouth nodded as he agreed with the advice of Senior Cutie.

n---- ---- ----

nAfter a while of walking at a rapid pace, they had reached the green door.

nStanding outside the big green door, Zhao Luo was amazed by the intensity of the color.

n

"It's giving me the same feeling as the yellow door but just in a different way.

"

nZhao Luo mumbled as he felt a calming energy gathering around him and soothing his body.

nWhen he was standing outside the yellow door, he couldn't feel it much as he was lost in his thoughts while talking to Senior Cutie but this time his sole focus was on the door so he could feel the strange aura of the door.

nZhao Luo closed his eyes and went to the exact moment when he had reached the yellow door.

n'The yellow door relaxed my mind, it was like I was looking at a field of sunflowers.'

n'While this green door is giving me the feeling of being surrounded by lush trees in a garden.'

n

"What are you waiting for? Let's go in.

"

nWhile Zhao Luo was comparing the difference in the sensation that he had felt at both doors, Senior Cutie suddenly interrupted him.

nZhao Luo's eyelids moved up and his eyes which looked clearer than ever fell straight on Senior Cutie.

n

"What?

"

nThis look caused the baldy to shiver who questioned Zhao Luo.

n

"Do you feel this calming sensation when you look at the door?

"

nZhao Luo asked him as he could still feel his body being relieved of all the tension that had stored over the past few days.

n

"Feel what? This green color is so hideous. I have already asked the Junior Elder to paint the door with some other color.

"

nSenior Cutie replied with an angry tone and walked past Zhao Luo while opening the green door and entering the living zone.

n

"Guess he can't feel it

", Zhao Luo shrugged his shoulders as he followed Senior Cutie inside the living zone.

n

"I have already told you before. This is the living zone.

"

nSenior Cutie pointed his hands towards the front.

nZhao Luo had once again entered an open zone.

nThe clear sky and shining sun were easily visible.

nUnlike the huts in the trainee hall, the living zone of the outer hall had many buildings.

nBut these buildings were quite big when compared to the single-room huts.

n

"Are those palaces?

"

nZhao Luo asked as he pointed towards the backward buildings.

nTwo rows of palaces were behind the front buildings.

nThe ones in the back looked bigger than the palaces in front of them.

nIt could be said that the living zone had a total of three rows with many houses in each row.

n

"Yes, the last row has the palaces of the top 100 outer disciples. While the row in front of that has 900 small palaces which belong to the next 900 outer disciples. The row of building in front of you is just where the new outer disciples and the ones with low talent stay at.

"

nSenior Cutie explained to Zhao Luo as he looked at one of the palaces in the last row.

nIt wasn't like each row was back to back.

nEach row was separated by a distance of 5 km.

n

"So where will I stay at?

"

nZhao Luo asked Senior Cutie with a confused look.

n

"Even though you are an eighth-level outer disciple now and could easily be counted in the top 100 outer disciples ranking. But the palaces are already taken. So if you don't want someone to sleep outside of their palace, you will have to stay in one of the buildings you see in front of you.

"

nSenior Cutie said in a slightly partial tone.

nIt was like he didn't even give it a thought before replying to Zhao Luo.

n

"I wouldn't want that to happen to someone because of me. So where is your palace?

"

nZhao Luo asked Senior Cutie with a devilish look. It was like he was going to wage war outside his palace.

n

"I won't tell you.

"

nSenior Cutie replied as a drop of sweat could be seen at the top of his bald patch.

n'Even the sweat drop is confused on which path it should take to reach the ground.'

nZhao Luo could barely hold his laughter back while looking at the perfectly balanced sweat drop on top of Senior Cutie's head.

n

"Amazing.

"

nZhao Luo praised his senior who looked at him in confusion.

n'What is he smiling about?'

nSenior Cutie thought while looking at the weird timing of Zhao Luo's smile.

n

"Whatever. When you return to the living zone, just go to the last building, that is, the fifth building. There should be a room still vacant there for you. Except that, don't challenge anyone as the ranking matches will start from last week.

"

nZhao Luo looked at the building of the first row and there were indeed five buildings but each one was amazingly big, compared to his small single-room hut from before.

nUnlike the small palaces of the second and third-row which accommodated a single disciple, these front row buildings had hundreds to thousands of disciples.

n

"I will remember your advice. But why can't I enter the building now?

"

nZhao Luo asked Senior Cutie as he realized that the baldy had mentioned going into

nthe building when Zhao Luo returns.

n

"There is still one more place that we need to go.

"

nSenior Cutie told Zhao Luo while he turned his body and moved towards the green door through which they had entered a few minutes ago.

n

"Let me take you to the training zone?

"

nSenior Cuties shaky voice entered Zhao Luo's ears and he couldn't help but shake to his core.

n

"Ah.

"

nZhao Luo who was freaked out by his bald senior's singing followed behind him.

nSoon they left the living zone and were headed to the red door which was opposite the green door where they were just at.

n

"Past the red door is where the training zone is at.

"

nZhao Luo said to Senior Cutie.

nHe already knew as his senior had already told him once before but just to confirm the fact, Zhao Luo was repeating it.

n

"Indeed. That is where you will find the other disciples too. As I have already warned you before, do not try to start a fight. In case someone challenges you, do not agree to it. Understand?

"

n

"Why would someone fight me when they don't even know who I am? Also, why do you think I would start a fight with anyone?

"

nZhao Luo had his arms slightly raised as he couldn't understand the reason behind Senior Cutie's worries.

n

"You will know soon.

"

nSenior Cutie said in a serious tone as the red door which looked small a while ago was getting bigger and bigger, a sign that they were getting close to it.

n
