“I understand, I understand!”

After a moment of surprise, Jiang Yun nodded repeatedly. He truly understood Second Senior Sister's meaning; clearly, his previous guess about the reason for Second Senior Sister's seclusion was correct…

However, he immediately added, “But Senior Brother said that only Inner Sect Disciples can enter the Scripture Pavilion. I’m just a Utility Disciple, so I can’t get in at all.”

Second Senior Sister's lips twitched slightly. She said, “If you want to find Secret Manuals for Cultivation or techniques, you must indeed be an Outer Sect Disciple. But if you just want to learn some basic knowledge of Cultivating the Dao, all Disciples can go! As for why Senior Brother said that, the reason, you should understand it!”

Jiang Yun immediately showed a look of sudden realization and quickly cupped his fists again, saying, “Thank you, Second Senior Sister, for your guidance!”

Second Senior Sister glanced at Jiang Yun and said, “No need! However, if you go to the Scripture Pavilion, you must change into the clothes issued by the Sect.”

Until now, Jiang Yun still wore his animal skin clothes, reluctant to take them off. However, he also understood that within the Wen Dao Sect, the gray clothes issued represented the identity of a Utility Disciple.

After returning to his dwelling, Jiang Yun still didn't take off the animal skin. Instead, he put the clothes over the animal skin. This was his first time wearing cloth garments in his life, and he felt awkward all over.

However, he didn't care much. After putting on his clothes, he immediately left the courtyard again, descended Hidden Peak, and walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.

He originally had a long-standing question he wanted to ask Dongfang Bo, but now, he decided to go to the Scripture Pavilion first and try to find the answer himself.

The Scripture Pavilion is located at the foot of Sword Dao Peak, the main peak. Although Jiang Yun had been led around the Wen Dao Sect by Dongfang Bo last time, he was like a person in a dream at that time and didn't remember the way at all, so now he could only ask for directions.

Fortunately, within the Wen Dao Sect, people could be seen everywhere, most of them wearing the same gray Utility Disciple robes as Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun's appearance did not attract their attention, as there were tens of thousands of Utility Disciples in the Sect, and it was impossible for them to all know each other.

As Jiang Yun walked, he also observed his surroundings, his mind racing.

“The Utility Disciples' uniforms are standardized, but after becoming Inner and Outer Sect Disciples, the mark of identity is the token hanging at their waist. Outer Sect Disciples have blue, while Inner Sect Disciples have gold! The different shapes of the tokens represent their different affiliated peaks.”

After more than an hour, Jiang Yun finally arrived at the foot of Sword Dao Peak. He immediately saw a magnificent seven-story building standing at the foot of the mountain—the Scripture Pavilion!

Jiang Yun did not rush into the Scripture Pavilion. Instead, he raised his head and looked towards Sword Dao Peak!

As the main peak of the Asking Dao Five Peaks, Sword Dao Peak was naturally the most central place in the entire Wen Dao Sect.

Although Jiang Yun had seen Sword Dao Peak before, standing at its foot and looking at it again, he could clearly feel a huge pressure and an incomparably sharp aura emanating from the entire mountain, causing people to shiver from the bottom of their hearts.

To Jiang Yun, this mountain felt just like its name—a giant sword piercing straight into the sky.

The peak was so high it was impossible to see the top, and within the clouds that enveloped the upper half of the mountain, faint streaks of rainbow light could be seen flashing from time to time.

“Those rainbow lights should be Disciples flying through the air. Only those in the Blessed Land Realm can fly! One day, I will also enter the Blessed Land Realm!”

After gazing at Sword Dao Peak for a long time, Jiang Yun finally withdrew his gaze and walked towards the Scripture Pavilion.

As the only place in the entire Wen Dao Sect that anyone could visit, the Scripture Pavilion was surrounded by quite a lot of people. Some were alone, some were in groups of three or five, and the entrance was bustling with a constant flow of people, making it extremely lively.

Just as Jiang Yun was about to enter the Scripture Pavilion, a girl's crying suddenly reached his ears, making him turn his head instinctively and look in the direction of the sound.

About ten feet away from him, a crowd of people had gathered, and the crying came from the middle of the crowd. However, due to the crowd, he couldn't see what was happening inside.

Jiang Yun was merely curious and had no intention of meddling. Since he couldn't see, he didn't bother to look further. Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze, the crowd suddenly surged, and someone walked out, revealing a gap.

Through the gap, Jiang Yun saw the crying person—a little girl, no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

Seeing this little girl, Jiang Yun's heart suddenly stirred, and he remembered that she was one of the few people he had noticed outside the Wen Dao Sect back then.

Because this little girl exuded a mysterious aura, and her appearance bore some resemblance to Jiang Yuerou, Jiang Yun had a deeper impression of her.

Jiang Yun even remembered that this little girl had only passed the Dao Spirit trial and was accepted as a Utility Disciple, but he didn't know which of the Five Peaks she had been assigned to.

If it had been someone else crying there, Jiang Yun might not have paid attention, but seeing this little girl, Jiang Yun couldn't help but think of Jiang Yuerou. So, after a moment of hesitation, he finally walked over.

Standing outside the crowd, listening to the discussions of the surrounding people, Jiang Yun gradually understood the reason for the little girl's crying.

It turned out that this girl was assigned to Hundred Beast Peak as a Utility Disciple, responsible for raising a type of Vicious Beast called Blue Light Wolf. There was nothing unusual until yesterday, when an Outer Sect Disciple gave her a twenty-year-old Blue Light Wolf and asked her to take good care of it for two days.

She diligently placed the Blue Light Wolf in a separate cage, but when she woke up in the morning, she found that the cage's lock had been bitten through, causing the Blue Light Wolf to escape and mix with the other Blue Light Wolves, making it impossible to distinguish it.

Tomorrow, the Outer Sect Disciple would come to retrieve the Blue Light Wolf. If she couldn't produce it then, she would be in trouble.

Actually, this kind of matter could be big or small, but the girl was too young and naturally timid, so she was scared out of her wits. As a Utility Disciple, she had no solutions, so she could only think of coming near the Scripture Pavilion to seek help.

However, even though the surrounding people sympathized with her, they were all unable to help. After all, determining the age of a Vicious Beast was something that usually only Inner and Outer Sect Disciples of Hundred Beast Peak could do, and Inner and Outer Sect Disciples would hardly have such leisure to help a mere Utility Disciple.

After understanding the situation, Jiang Yun smiled and shook his head, then parted the crowd and walked up to the little girl, saying, “Don't cry anymore. I’ll help you find that Blue Light Wolf!”

Upon hearing this, the little girl immediately stopped crying and quickly looked up, her eyes misty with tears, and said in surprise, “Senior Brother, can you really help me?”

The onlookers were also slightly stunned, not expecting someone to actually step forward to offer help. However, when they saw the clothes Jiang Yun was wearing, their faces immediately showed doubt.

How could a Utility Disciple, like them, be able to determine the age of a Vicious Beast?

However, Jiang Yun ignored the reactions of the crowd and nodded, saying, “Of course, it’s true!”

“That’s great!” Getting Jiang Yun's affirmative answer, the little girl immediately broke into a smile through her tears and grabbed Jiang Yun's arm, saying, “Senior Brother, if you’re not busy, can you help me find that Blue Light Wolf right now?”

“Yes!”

So, under the gaze of the crowd, Jiang Yun was dragged out of the crowd by the little girl and walked towards Hundred Beast Peak.

Neither Jiang Yun nor the little girl noticed that after they left, a short, stout man in gray clothes in the crowd frowned and said fiercely, “Where did this Utility Disciple come from? Meddling in others' affairs like a dog catching a mouse. No, I must follow and see. If he ruins Senior Sister Fang's good plans and I get blamed, that would be bad!”
