At first no one responded and many new disciples looked at each other with a tense expression. Becoming a servant was equivalent to losing all freedom which obviously no one was willing to be. Seeing this elder Hong smiled slightly as if it was a common sight for him each year then he added -
"Becoming a servant of an inner sect disciple is not a bad deal at all. You will not lose all your freedom by becoming one. It is actually a type of privilege that only a few could enjoy. As I have mentioned before, an inner sect servant disciple would be higher up in the hierarchy than the common outer sect disciples. So even if you agree to become one, if none of the inner sect disciples like you then you will not be chosen. It is actually a rare opportunity and don't miss it."
Hearing the elder explaining about the servant disciple status one of the brave new disciples raised his hand and asked -
"Respected Elder, can I ask a question ?"
