Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 71

"That's fine. I have to say that you overplayed your part." The old man waved his hands and laughed. He knew that the boy did not really care about who he was. But this was not something he needed to care about. He continued, "Although Cloud Sect is large, if you are extraordinary, I am sure that we will meet again, sooner or later."

Knowing that he had not annoyed the old man, Zen smiled at him, then turned and left.

The old man watched as Zen left. Then he sighed and whispered, "I did not expect that after so many years, this book will finally be claimed. I don't think anyone will believe that this was not heaven's will."

Since Zen had left the hall, he did not hear the old man's words. Even if he had heard what the old man had said, he would not understand the meaning.

When Zen entered the hall for the tier 3 cultivation method, he saw that all other people had left. Even the hall for the tier 2 cultivation method was empty.

It was not advisable to linger in the Heavenly Library, as over time, it became harder to bear the pressure of intent of the Vengeful Beast. It was natural that the others would leave soon after selecting the appropriate cultivation method.

Zen was the last to leave the Heavenly Library.

When he stepped out, the disciples of the other thirty-two peaks had already left.

Only the disciples of Drizzle Peak were waiting for him.

"I am so sorry to have kept you waiting." Zen bowed with hands folded as he apologized.

"That's fine. We are brothers of Drizzle Peak, and we should be concerned about each other, now and in the future! Well, welcome to Drizzle Peak." said an outer disciple as he patted Zen on the shoulder.

This group of outer disciples who had picked Drizzle Peak was from low clans. None of these disciples were from noble clans. So they were congenial with each other.

Master Aura Su had been standing in the distance and studying something. When she saw Zen, she smiled and asked, "Did you enter the tier 4 cultivation method hall?"

Only the few people present at the tier 3 cultivation method hall knew that Zen had entered the tier 4 cultivation method hall. Master Aura Su must have heard about this from other masters.

The outer disciples of Drizzle Peak were surprised by what Master Aura Su had said. They looked at Zen with big round eyes. They had initially thought that Zen had stepped out last as he had spent too much time studying the books and making his choice. No one thought that he had entered the tier 4 cultivation method hall. They all knew that the deeper they went, the stronger their soul needed to be. How strong was Zen's soul? They were in awe of what Zen had accomplished.

Zen thought that Master Aura Su might ask him about what cultivation method he had chosen. Since the old man in white had presented him with Spiritual Thorn, Zen decided to tell Master Aura Su about the book. However, before he could say anything, she swung her right hand and said, "There is no need to tell others about what cultivation method you have chosen. You must learn to keep your secrets in Cloud Sect. Let's leave now. We should get back to Drizzle Peak before dark."

The other people present did not ask Zen any more questions. Seeing that all disciples were here, Master Aura Su led them away from the Heavenly Library.

The walk took about four hours in Cloud Sect before a steep mountain appeared in front of them. This was Drizzle Peak, one of the thirty-three peaks.
