The member of the Gu Family hesitated for a long time but eventually explained how he had entered the Wonderful Hand Pavilion.
It turned out he followed one of the Gu Family disciples who had absconded with a Half-step Innate.
When the nearly Innate-level expert left the Gu Family, he took two disciples and two servants; this man was one of them.
Later in jianghu, they encountered the head of the Wonderful Hand Pavilion's branch, who ushered them into service at the Pavilion.
Upon entering the Wonderful Hand Pavilion, the Half-step Innate held a Guest Elder status, akin to a senior manager, coming and going as he pleased, with neither side having much in the way of obligations or duties.
However, soon thereafter, with the Pavilion's assistance, the Half-step Innate progressed to full Innate status—a position beyond what a Guest Elder was entitled to.
