After Yao Wu left the Matriarch's Hall, she went straight to the Sect's Archives.
The first thing Yao Wu noticed was the absence of an elder standing at the post, there was only an outer court disciple there accepting entrance fees.
There was only an outer court disciple there because no one from the inner and core court would waste their time doing this kind of job when they could be cultivating.
Elder Yao Wu approached the young outer court disciple and the disciple immediately stood up straight in the presence of an elder.
"Young disciple, where is the elder that should be here with you."
"Ah, s-she told me she would be back soon. Would you like me to go get her for you?"
The truth was that the elder that should've been here was actually neglecting her duties. She didn't want to waste her time here when she could be doing other things, so she would always leave the outer court disciple alone to do this menial job.
