In the Ghost Realm, because the massive Yin Star hangs high in the sky, there is no distinction between day and night. However, the ghosts still retain their habit of keeping time from their human lives, with twelve hours making up one day.
Jiang Wei familiarized himself with the people and things inside the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, and time quickly passed by in a day.
"Turns out, the disciples of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion have this benefit of being able to bring a few close friends and family into the inner city to live!" The pavilions allocated to the disciples of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion are quite spacious. Even if twenty people were to live in Jiang Wei's small building, it wouldn't feel crowded. "Hmm, I'll bring Xiao Hao in to live here!"
Leaving Li Hao alone in the outer city, Jiang Wei was ultimately somewhat uneasy. It would be better to bring him into the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion. Of course, Li Hao is not a disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, so his privileges are much lower. He cannot enter places like the school or the scripture hall. However, even so, living in the inner city is much better than living in the outer city!
The inner city and the outer city are two completely different worlds. Most ghosts can never set foot in the inner city and can only live out their lives in mediocrity. Many ghosts want to strive, but being in the outer city, they have no environment to strive in, and they don't even know which direction to strive in.
The walls of the inner city are like a natural barrier, ruthlessly cutting off the hopes of ordinary ghosts, leaving them without even the chance to strive.
And now, Jiang Wei has finally crossed into the inner city, not as an ordinary resident, but as a revered disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion.
The Original Sin City is the domain of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, and no one dares to oppose it. One could say that with the identity of a Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion disciple, Jiang Wei can walk around the Original Sin City with impunity!
Many disciples of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion do indeed act tyrannically in the Original Sin City. However, the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion not only does not oppose this, but even encourages such tyranny—simply because you are a disciple of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion, you have the right to be tyrannical, and you should be tyrannical!
"I'll go and bring Xiao Hao in now!" Jiang Wei took a "secondary token" and left his small building.
Like Jiang Wei's identity jade token, the secondary token is also a jade token, engraved with the words "Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion," but with an additional "secondary" character, and the material is much inferior to the "primary token." The secondary token also serves as an identity marker and a key.
As soon as Jiang Wei stepped out the door, he saw a beautiful ghost figure pass by the door. This ghost figure was naturally alluring, yet gave off a cold aura; two completely different styles were somehow present in the same ghost.
"Very beautiful!" Jiang Wei had to admit that this was the most beautiful ghost he had seen since entering the Ghost Realm. Of course, Jiang Wei wasn't so shallow as to be infatuated with her just because of her appearance; he simply appreciated her beauty.
At this moment, the beautiful ghost figure also noticed Jiang Wei pushing the door open.
"Are you the new disciple Jiang Wei?" the alluring yet cold beauty greeted him.
"Yes." Jiang Wei didn't recognize her, "May I ask who you are...?"
"Me?" The beauty clearly hadn't encountered someone who didn't recognize her in a long time, and couldn't help but smile, "I am the senior sister of all disciples below the Soul Condensation stage in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion—Lin Nianluo."
"Lin Nianluo?" Jiang Wei had clearly heard Elder Zhao mention this name, and over the past day, he had also heard many disciples of the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion talk about her.
Lin Nianluo's reputation in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion was very prominent, not only because of her stunning beauty but also because of her strength and background. Jiang Wei had already learned from the other disciples' discussions that many ghosts in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion were pursuing Lin Nianluo.
"Senior Sister Lin, I've heard your name many times today!" Jiang Wei smiled.
"Are you going out, Junior Brother Jiang?" Lin Nianluo asked, "Today is the day Elder Bai gives his lecture, and most disciples below the Soul Condensation stage will attend. Why don't you come with me, and I'll introduce you to everyone?"
Elder Bai is responsible for teaching the disciples in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion and is extremely powerful, said to be second only to the Pavilion Master.
Jiang Wei originally planned to go to the outer city to bring Li Hao, but since the senior sister had invited him, he naturally couldn't refuse her kindness. Moreover, Jiang Wei indeed wanted to get to know the senior brothers and sisters in the pavilion, and this was a good opportunity. As for bringing Li Hao into the inner city, it wouldn't matter if it took a little longer.
"Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister Lin!" In front of the beauty, Jiang Wei immediately became polite and put on his "cool" mode.
Jiang Wei didn't know that Senior Sister Lin Nianluo's personality was as cold as her aura. She rarely spoke, and even when Soul Condensation stage disciples tried to chat with her, she ignored them. But today, Lin Nianluo had taken the initiative to approach Jiang Wei.
So, when Jiang Wei and Lin Nianluo walked into the lecture hall side by side, it immediately caught the attention of many ghosts.
"Senior Sister Lin actually walked in with a male ghost, and they're even chatting?"
"Who is this male ghost? I've never seen him before."
"He has the jade token of our Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion hanging from his waist; he must be a new ghost this year!"
"This new ghost is quite bold, daring to walk so close to Senior Sister Lin. Doesn't he know... Oh! He's a new ghost, of course he doesn't know!"
The ghosts were discussing, and many even secretly glanced at a handsome and tall ghost inside the lecture hall. This handsome ghost was the senior brother Fang Siqi, who, though not yet at the Soul Condensation stage, had strength comparable to those who were.
Everyone in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion knew that Senior Brother Fang Siqi had been pursuing Senior Sister Lin Nianluo for a long time, showing great dedication. However, Lin Nianluo had never paid him any attention, let alone chatted with him as she was doing now.
Sure enough, following the gazes of the ghosts, Senior Brother Fang Siqi's face was already as dark as cold ghost iron.
"This new guy is in for a rough time!"
"Where did this fool come from, daring to flirt with Senior Sister Lin! And it looks like he's making good progress!"
"Senior Brother Fang definitely won't let him off easily... Look at this guy, his soul is so thin, and his strength is so weak, yet he dares to have designs on the most beautiful ghost in the Heavenly Wasteland Pavilion. He's asking for death!"
"This new fool is really good at making enemies!"
...
The ghosts' whispers, though light, still reached Senior Brother Fang Siqi's ears, making him very uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Jiang Wei felt as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake. Following this feeling, he saw a ghost with an extraordinary aura in the crowd, staring at him fiercely.
"Uh, what's going on? What did I do to him?" Jiang Wei was far away and couldn't hear the ghosts' whispers, so he was very puzzled—being new here, he hadn't offended anyone, so why did this ghost seem to have a deep grudge against him?
"Let me introduce you!" Lin Nianluo seemed unaware, "This is our new junior brother—Jiang Wei!"
