Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 15972

Chapter 15970. Injustice

Wu Lingfeng is fifty years old today. He works as an outer sect manager in the Qingyang Sect, but he’s just a manager, not even an elder. In fact, his strength has only reached the Shi level. Because he has no more potential, he came directly to the outer sect as a manager, since he no longer has the chance to become an inner sect disciple.

Wu Lingfeng’s current state of mind is quite peaceful. He handles some trivial matters every day, receives a monthly allowance, and then returns to his house to cultivate for a while or daydream for a while before taking a nap. The next day, he still has to go to work at the outer sect management office. Every day is the same. He is now numb to life. He feels like he is losing all his emotions. He is neither happy nor angry, and he has nothing he likes. It’s as if all emotions have left him. He is like a walking corpse.

He was too lazy to even think anymore. In his view, he was simply waiting for death. He had long since lost all hope of living, so he awaited death’s arrival. But unfortunately, he was only a disciple at the Shi level; even if he were to die, it would likely be decades later.

That day, he sat in his room, lost in thought. This was his office, and his only job here was to register disciples who had reached the Shi level.

While he was lost in thought, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a cultivator walked in. This cultivator looked only a teenager, with a still-childish face.

However, his head was held high, and he appeared extremely arrogant.

Wu Lingfeng remained seated. He had worked there for two years and had seen all kinds of disciples. This one was clearly a genius disciple, having reached the Shi level in his teens. His future achievements were limitless, but that was irrelevant to him. Even if this person was strong, he wouldn’t be grateful, so there was really no need for him to be excited.

The disciple approached Wu Lingfeng and said, “I’m here to register.”

Wu Lingfeng nodded, then took out a notebook and a pen, and said, “Name.”

The disciple looked at Wu Lingfeng, still with an arrogant expression, and said, “You don’t recognize me?”

Wu Lingfeng was taken aback, then looked up at the disciple and said, “Should I recognize you?”

The disciple looked insulted and shouted, “You don’t recognize me? You don’t recognize me? I’m a genius of the sect, and you don’t recognize me?”

Wu Lingfeng was stunned. To be honest, he had met all sorts of people in the past two years, but he had never seen anyone like this disciple before. Reaching the power level at a young age, he could indeed be called a genius. But even if you’re a genius, no one can deny that you’re a genius. But even if you are a genius, it’s impossible for everyone in the sect to know you, right? Why is it such a big crime that no one recognizes you?

However, Wu Lingfeng quickly regained his composure. He looked at the disciple and said, “I’m sorry, I really don’t know you. I don’t usually know much about sect affairs. What’s your name?”

Although Wu Lingfeng was a little angry, he still spoke to the disciple politely. He felt there was no need to offend him. The other party was a genius disciple, and it seemed that becoming an inner disciple was not a problem. If he really offended him, he might even lose his current job, which would be really not worth it. So he spoke to him politely and even offered an explanation.

Unexpectedly, the other party became even angrier upon hearing his words, shouting, “You don’t understand the affairs of the sect? If you don’t understand the affairs of the sect, what kind of manager are you? As an outer sect manager, you don’t even recognize me, you don’t even recognize the geniuses of the outer sect, then what kind of manager are you? I think you shouldn’t be a manager anymore.”

Wu Lingfeng was completely stunned. He hadn’t expected the other party to react like this. He hurriedly said, “This junior brother…” “

Who is your junior brother? Do you deserve to be?” Before he could finish speaking, the disciple shouted loudly, stood up, strode to the door, and flung it open, shouting, “Someone like this doesn’t deserve to stay in the sect! I will definitely expel you from the sect!”

His voice was so loud that everyone on the second floor could hear it, and people in other rooms also opened their doors and looked at them.

Wu Lingfeng was completely stunned by the man’s actions. Then, his anger surged. He simply couldn’t understand why the other person had suddenly exploded when he had just followed the normal procedure and asked for the other person’s name. He hadn’t said anything. What was wrong with asking a normal question?

Wu Lingfeng’s face was ashen, but he suppressed his anger and said, “Junior brother, you’re here to register. I’m just asking you a normal question. I don’t know what you’re so angry about.”

“Don’t call me junior brother! You dare call me junior brother? You’re deliberately making things difficult for me! In the entire outer sect, who doesn’t know me? You dare say you don’t know me? What else could you be doing but making things difficult for me?”

Wu Lingfeng’s face darkened further. Just then, footsteps approached, followed by a voice: “What’s going on?”

Wu Lingfeng recognized the voice as that of the outer sect elder in charge. He quickly stood up, and then heard the disciple say, “Uncle Lu, why does your outer sect management office accept just anyone? Look at this person, he doesn’t even know me? And he’s deliberately making things difficult for me.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Lingfeng was both shocked and furious. He was shocked because the disciple’s tone suggested he was very familiar with the elder, and furious because the other party accused him of making things difficult? Wasn’t this a case of turning the tables?

At this moment, Elder Lu arrived at Wu Lingfeng’s office. Wu Lingfeng hurriedly bowed to Elder Lu and said, “Elder Lu, I just…” Before he could finish speaking, Elder Lu interrupted, “Wu Lingfeng, how dare you make things difficult for Junior Brother Wu? I think you don’t want to work here anymore. Starting tomorrow, you will be stationed at the Balang Mountain branch. Don’t stay here anymore.”

Wu Lingfeng was stunned. He never expected Elder Lu to do such a thing. That so-called Junior Brother Wu had only said one sentence, yet he wasn’t even given a chance to explain before being directly sent to the Balang Mountain branch. As an outer disciple, how could he not know what the Balang Mountain branch was? It was called a branch, but it was actually just an observation post.

Balang Mountain is a large mountain range on the outskirts of a continuous mountain range surrounding the Qingyang Sect. Beyond Balang Mountain lies an endless mountain range inhabited by countless demonic beasts, some of which are extremely powerful. To ensure safety, the sect has established an observation post on Balang Mountain. The disciples sent there don’t need to do much; they only need to keep watch and prevent large numbers of demonic beasts from escaping from the mountains and attacking the sect.

This job is very simple, seemingly suitable for anyone, and indeed it is. However, the spiritual energy on Balang Mountain is extremely thin, and there is no human habitation within a hundred miles. Once sent there, one is stationed there alone year-round, with no one to talk to and rarely seeing anyone. It can be considered a place of exile. Previously, the sect would offer generous benefits to recruit someone to guard the mountain, but later, the sect changed its method. Anyone who commits a mistake within the sect will be exiled to Balang Mountain as a form of punishment.

And now he was being exiled to Balang Mountain! This didn’t leave him stunned, but he quickly recovered, and a surge of anger rose from the depths of his heart. He immediately shouted, “Elder Lu, what wrong have I done? I just don’t recognize him! He came to register, saying he had reached the power level, and I merely asked his name. He accused me of looking down on him. I ask you, isn’t it normal that I don’t know his name? Isn’t it normal that I asked his name and registered him? What did I do wrong?”

Wu Lingfeng thought he was immune to anger, but at this moment he was truly furious. He was practically bursting with rage. He simply couldn’t understand how such a person could exist in this world. He hadn’t done anything wrong, yet the other party insisted on causing him trouble, and Elder Lu was about to punish him? He couldn’t swallow this insult, so for the first time in a long time, he lost his temper.

Elder Lu’s eyes flashed coldly as he looked at Wu Lingfeng and said, “Disrespecting your superior is the biggest mistake. Wu Lingfeng, either you go home and farm, or you go to Balang Mountain to guard it. Choose one.”

Upon hearing Elder Lu’s words, Wu Lingfeng’s anger surged even more. He snorted coldly and said, “Going home to farm is nothing special. I’m really not doing it.” After saying that, he took out a jade token representing the disciple in charge, threw it on the ground, and then walked out.

Elder Lu stared at Wu Lingfeng with a livid face. He hadn’t expected Wu Lingfeng to actually dare to leave. Although Wu Lingfeng’s exile seemed to have been a great injustice, his monthly benefits wouldn’t be reduced. If Wu Lingfeng went home to farm, his income would definitely be less than what he earned guarding Balang Mountain. Therefore, most of the disciples in charge wouldn’t speak out even if they suffered some injustices; instead, they would endure it and might even secretly come to him to offer gifts to get him exempted from punishment. Elder Lu thought Wu Lingfeng would do the same, but he hadn’t expected that Wu Lingfeng would not only defy him but now directly refuse to continue. This made Elder Lu’s face even uglier and he became even angrier.

Elder Lu looked at Wu Lingfeng and sneered, “Wu Lingfeng, you’d better think this through. If you quit, it will be difficult for your children to join the sect, and your family will be stuck farming for generations.” Elder Lu knew very well that it was easier for the children of outer sect leaders to join, but for the children of ordinary farmers, joining the outer sect was not an easy task. Therefore, most people wouldn’t leave the outer sect to farm for the sake of their children.

Wu Lingfeng sneered, “I don’t have any children, and I don’t plan to have any in this life. What are you going to do about it?” After saying that, he strode out and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only an ashen-faced Elder Lu and the others dumbfounded.
