It might be a question that normal people would ask if they see the scene: how could Lucas think of being a normal disciple if he had already taken some attention from other sect elders?
There was a reason behind it. And that reason was based on information he got in the city. Inside the Profound Symbol, there is a section that divides the sect and those are 'factions'.
But why did he pay some attention to them? Actually, there was only one reason. He wanted to slowly rise in some of their ranks and look for a powerful array that could gather energy. With it, he wanted to convert it to an array that could gather mana in the area.
But what if he just took it secretly? Well, he wanted fun and learning matters on hand. And that way would make the question: where's the fun?
'Recognition is really the pride of cultivators. And as this seems to be getting on how I planned, I want to know more about how a sect operates.'
