They don't really get much resources until they become an inner disciple so many people work hard to become an inner disciple, however there are those who have everything at their beck and call on a silver platter and doesn't work hard at all yet like to be the center of attention to receive praise.
Ming Wei Er was an example of this, she was a princess who was held like a pearl in the palm of their hands and the target of their fawning, however after leaving the sect for a bit her spot had been replaced!
Zi Hua was in every aspect better than her but what did she think?
She thought that Zi Hua was a wench who stole what's her's, but she wasn't well liked for nothing, she could see that Zi Hua would be valued so she couldn't get on her bad side.
Not to mention that although she disliked Zi Hua, her master had said that if she were to be of use they should use her, if not she should be disposed of before she grew anymore, so she had no choice but to swallow her loathing.
The elders had finally received the news of the four geniuses however, none of the four seemed interested in gaining favor of the elders and the elders didn't want to lower themselves to approach the opposite party.
These elders were so frustrated due to missing the chance of accepting such good disciples during the sect exam and now they can't accept them unless the disciples approach them, but what they had done was worth it.
"Good morning!" Ming Wei Er was the sole disciple of the advanced rank alchemist and 5th elder of the sect, she herself was already a beginner rank alchemist at the age of 20, she was a well known genius however recently the attention was diverted towards the new disciples, putting her out of the limelight.
However, she still had to act like an amicable senior and be all friendly towards everyone despite her displeasure.
"Good morning Senior Ming" They were all very respectful since Ming Wei Er was, after all, an alchemist with a bright future, her cultivation wasn't shabby either thanks to the help of her master's pills.
Coincidentally, Zi Hua and the rest had just left their room to have a stroll so they could get some fresh air.
"You must be the new disciples" Ming Wei Er approached them with a friendly attitude.
"My name is Ming Wei Er, the disciple of the fifth elder, it's a pleasure to meet you, if there's anything that you don't understand you can just come to me" Ming Wei Er expertly hid her malice but it did not escape their eyes.
"A pleasure to meet you, I won't bother introducing myself since it seems that Senior Ming has already heard of us, please excuse us" Zi Hua would rather go away and not get caught up in what the girl was planning.
Ming Wei Er gritted her teeth in anger, she had already lowered herself to approach them yet those wenches had the audacity to be so rude!
But she didn't show it on her face.
From that day on, Ming constantly approached Zi Hua and co, trying to get closer to them.
"Master... that girl...?" Even Gardenia was getting tired of the facade.
"Let's just go along with her plans and act close to her, see what she has up her sleeve" Zi Hua heaved a sigh of helplessness, she was running out of ideas of how to avoid the girl.
Her plans, once again, got disturbed.
Thankfully, the other disciples didn't bother her and only stared at her, they knew that they should keep a distance to avoid offending them, giving Zi Hua a breather.
