Meng Yan was irritated when she heard Yang Wei's explanation.
"Are you really giving me that crappy explanation?" Meng Yan said in anger.
"If I really look at people in their status then why would I have helped you back then when you were no different than a beggar."
Yang Wei was stumped as he became speechless.
"All I'm asking is for you to be my friend- is that really such a difficult request?" Meng Yan then said.
Yang Wei shook his head. "No, it's because I treated you as a friend that I didn't want others to gossip about you. I don't exactly have a great reputation in the sect with most still judging me that I sold my body to the beautiful elders."
Meng Yan raised an eyebrow. "Sell your body to beautiful elders?"
Yang Wei raised his hand in surrender as he explained. "You should know most of the males in the sect are jealous of me because I get to interact with many beautiful women."
"Jealousy is a dangerous thing and sometimes, it could lead them to do something crazy such as committing murder." He added.
Meng Yan was dumbfounded but she wasn't surprised by such a thing.
In fact, she started laughing aloud. "Haha, I knew you were going to attract femme fatale when you transform from a beggar into a handsome man."
Yang Wei was dumbfounded as he looked at Meng Yan.
"There are many other handsome men in the sect." He then added as he turned around to walk away.
Sometime later, Yang Wei arrived at a library in the sect to gain more basic knowledge regarding the cultivation world.
Yang Wei took a few moments before finding the receptionist's desk as he walked over and asked for direction.
"Hello, elder, I wanted to ask about the geography section." Yang Wei cupped his fist as he asked in respect.
The elder nodded his head and pointed in a direction.
However, his expression changed when he noticed a person behind Yang Wei.
"C-Core disciple?" The elder quickly stood up as he bowed in front of Meng Yan. "What can our library help you with?"
Meng Yan waved her hand. "It's fine, I'm just following him so you don't need to help me out."
The elder held a gawking expression at Yang Wei and wondered what their relationship was.
'A core disciple is following after an outer disciple?' The elder exclaimed inwardly as he nodded his head and returned to his receptionist's desk.
He was afraid of knowing more could possibly cause his life since a core disciple can kill people like him without suffering any consequences.
"Yang Wei, aren't you impressed by my demeanor?" Meng Yan said happily as she skipped around him.
Yang Wei laughed as he nodded his head.
"Indeed, it's pretty amazing to be able to walk around the sect-like it's your home." Yang Wei added.
Sometime later, they arrived at the geography section where Yang Wei grabbed a thick booklet and found a place to sit down.
Afterward, he began reading it while Meng Yan kept her focus on Yang Wei.
"Why are you reading the geography map of the Phoenix Kingdom and the surrounding area?" Meng Yan asked in curiosity.
"Everything recorded there is something basic and every cultivator knows about it already."
Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he explained. "Well, it's because of my poor education back in the small village, there are many things that I don't know of so I planned to study more."
Meng Yan raised an eyebrow. "How is it possible for you to be uneducated in basic stuff when you are in the Foundation Core realm already?"
"Let's just say a lot of things happened and I never had the time to learn more until now." Yang Wei shrugged his shoulders.
He stopped answering Meng Yan's question as he focused on reading everything.
Time slowly passed by with Yang Wei studying all night whereas Meng Yan walked around with a bored expression.
"So boring- the library is empty as well since no one cares about this kind of knowledge." Meng Yan complained as she sat on top of the table, dangling her dazzling legs around.
Her expression soon changed cold when she noticed many more disciples were gathering at the library which is usually empty.
Their eyes were staring at her and some disciples were having a ball of steel as they tried to approach her.
"Senior Meng Yan, is it possible for us to get along?" A disciple said and showed his bright white teeth with a smile on his face.
Meng Yan glanced at him briefly with a disgusted expression.
"Scram before I cripple your limbs." She then said as she exuded a frightening pressure on him.
The disciple trembled in fear as he quickly nodded his head and left the library.
"Ugh, these disciples are really annoying." Meng Yan pouted afterward as she glared at the other disciples who came in just to look at her.
Yang Wei chuckled softly at her annoyance. "It wouldn't be a problem anymore if you just enter the core disciple area. After all, they wouldn't be qualified to enter there."
Yang Wei wanted to tease Meng Yan but unknowingly gave her an idea.
Meng Yan got off the table as she clapped her hand in excitement.
Her action surprised Yang Wei as he wondered if she was plotting something.
"Why are you suddenly excited?" Yang Wei asked cautiously.
He feared that Meng Yan came up with a mischievous plot when he saw her wicked grin.
Meng Yan tilted her head as she glanced at Yang Wei.
Her grin became wider as she said loudly, "Yang Wei, why don't you come to my courtyard then? Core disciple courtyard is different from others and I even have a cultivation room."
Yang Wei twitched his brow as he sighed inwardly when he suddenly felt many killing intents directed toward him from the other disciples.
"I thought we were friends…" Yang Wei complained as he closed his book.
