"You should know that if you reject me, your identity will naturally belong to the group of people I suppress."
Li Boyang smiled gently: "It's alright. Once you've taken over all the power in Donghua Peak, things will naturally return to normal."
"You're an interesting kid. Well, you'll just have to keep going."
Wei Jie looked at Li Boyang and suddenly laughed, saying something.
In his opinion, it's not necessarily true that Li Boyang is out of touch with reality. The other party clearly knew what he wanted to do and directly stated that he would be the final victor.
If Li Boyang were to say he was pragmatic, then why was his proposal just rejected by the other party?
After saying this, Wei Jie left, leaving Li Boyang alone in the room. (For the latest chapters, please follow WeChat ID: rdww444)

Chapter 64 Escort Mission
After Wei Jie left, Li Boyang breathed a sigh of relief.
This hurdle has been overcome; this unexpected disaster was both surprising and yet understandable.
Fortunately, judging from Wei Jie's reaction, he had managed to get through it. An elder wouldn't deliberately make trouble for an outer disciple like himself.
The days ahead will likely be tough, as Wei Jie made it very clear when he left.
The power struggle at Donghua Peak and the factional infighting within the Dongyang Sect meant that the sect's environment was completely different from what they had imagined.
Competition is a brutal and ubiquitous phenomenon.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Boyang went to the Sutra Repository according to his original plan.
Improving one's own strength and finding clues to interdimensional conquest are the most important things for me. As for other things, I should avoid getting involved if possible.
During the last few days of the seven-day adjustment period, Li Boyang chose to spend all his time in the Sutra Repository.
Unfortunately, while the library contained many interesting books and fascinating stories, it offered absolutely no information about interdimensional warfare.
Today is my eighth day at the Dongyang School.
The Mission Hall was still bustling with people. With nearly 2,000 outer disciples of the entire Dongyang Sect, the Mission Hall was arguably the most frequently used place by them.
Besides the 3 low-grade spirit stones that the sect provides as a monthly subsidy, spirit stones can only be obtained by completing tasks in the Task Hall. With spirit stones, one can accelerate their cultivation progress.
Unfortunately, Li Boyang doesn't have a single one yet. He's been in the sect for less than a month, hasn't received his allowance, has zero sect missions, and no extra ones either.
Actually, he was quite curious about the spirit stones, since he had heard that they could accelerate cultivation, so he was full of anticipation for this mission.
Looking at the building in front of him, this was his third time here, and this time he was really going to take on a mission.
"Why am I on another escort mission? This is the third one in a row. This is ridiculous."
The disciple who said this was from Donghua Peak, and he lived next door to Li Boyang.
The disciple from the Mission Hall coldly replied, "This is the sect's arrangement. You have no choice but to accept it. Next."
"Going to Rencheng in Yunhua Kingdom to teach? This is a mission that will last for a year. Why was it assigned to me?"
The disciple who said this was also from Donghua Peak, in the building next to Li Boyang's.
The disciple from the Mission Hall coldly replied again, "This is the sect's arrangement. You have no choice but to accept it. Next."
There were more than a dozen people ahead of Li Boyang, three of whom were from Donghua Peak. Judging from their expressions after receiving the mission, none of them seemed particularly satisfied.
"I got to work a month-long shift in the library. Hehe, I'm pretty lucky."
The person who said this was not a disciple of Donghua Peak, but rather someone from Zhenghua Peak or Yunhua Peak.
The mission hall urged, "Stop grinning like an idiot in front of me. Once you've received your mission, go somewhere else. Report to the Scripture Pavilion on time tomorrow and don't get in my way."
A dozen or so people went through the rounds, some happy and some sad. However, Li Boyang observed that those who were sad were almost all disciples of Donghua Peak.
Soon it was Li Boyang's turn. He took off the outer disciple token hanging from his waist and threw it in front of the mission hall disciple.
The disciple from the Mission Hall picked up the token, looked at it, and asked, "Li Boyang?"
"yes."
"etc."
The disciple from the Mission Hall quickly flipped through the mission roster for this period, then handed a piece of paper to Li Boyang and said, "This is your mission."
"Meet at the mountain gate at noon tomorrow. This mission will be led by inner disciple Zuoqiu Leshan."
Li Boyang took the note and glanced at it. The gist of it was that he was to go to the capital of Donghua Kingdom to escort a batch of precious supplies back to the sect.
She sighed softly; Wei Jie's words were beginning to come true from this moment on.
During those seven days, he also learned that the better tasks were those that could be completed within the sect, were not too difficult to complete, and had relatively high rewards.
These kinds of tasks are relatively few, accounting for about 15% of the total number of tasks. Every outer disciple wants them, but it depends on luck.
However, Li Boyang guessed that interpersonal relationships were more important than luck in this kind of task.
The next level down is completed within or around a sect, but the rewards are lower; these are considered ordinary tasks.
These types of tasks are quite numerous, accounting for about 60% of the total number of tasks, and they generally don't involve any tampering; it's mostly based on luck.
The worst tasks are those that are far from the sect or take a very long time, and the benefits are only half of what they are worth, and they also delay cultivation.
