He paid such a great price to ingratiate himself with Jia Zongling, yet not only did he not get promoted, he was instead thoroughly brought low.
Gate Guarding Disciples held an extremely low status, and even some of the better-off Sword Slaves could act all high and mighty in front of them. Mountain Master Mao Wu was so frustrated he wanted to cry. Indeed, Chu Feng had hit the nail on the head, pride had turned into disappointment.
"Humph, of course there's no mistake. That Jade Pendant you presented has lost all its spirit, and the Jade Worm inside has turned into a dead bug. Jia Zongling was incredibly furious. You should count yourself lucky that you weren't sent to be a mining Sword Slave, that alone is mercy."
Having said that, the Inner Sect Disciple flew away on his sword.
Leaving behind Mountain Master Mao Wu, drenched as if by cold water, despondent and dispirited.
"I spent a full 500,000 taels, only to buy a useless Jade Pendant. How could this happen? How could this…"
