Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15970 Injustice
Wu Lingfeng is fifty years old today. He works as an outer sect manager in Qingyang Sect. He is just a manager and not even an elder. In fact, his strength has only reached the Shi level. Because he has no more potential, he came directly to the outer sect as a manager. He no longer has the opportunity to become an inner sect disciple.

Wu Lingfeng's current state of mind is quite peaceful. He deals with some trivial matters every day, receives a monthly allowance, and then returns to his house to cultivate for a while or daydream for a while before taking a nap. The next day, he still has to go to work at the outer gate management office. Every day is the same. He is now numb to life. He feels that he is losing all his emotions. He is neither happy nor angry, and he has nothing he likes. It is as if all emotions have left him. He is like a walking corpse.

He's too lazy to even think anymore. In his mind, he's just waiting for death. He's long since given up hope of living, so he's waiting for death to come. But unfortunately, he's a disciple at the power level, so even if he were to die, it would probably be decades later.

That day, he sat in his room in a daze again. This was his office, and his only job here was to register disciples who had reached the power level.

While he was in a daze, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a cultivator walked in from outside. This cultivator looked to be only a teenager, with a youthful appearance.

However, he held his head high, looking extremely arrogant.

Wu Lingfeng sat there without moving. He had been working here for two years and had seen all kinds of disciples. This one was clearly a genius disciple who had reached the power level in his teens. His future achievements were limitless, but that had nothing to do with him. No matter how strong this person was, he wouldn't be grateful to him, so there was really no need for him to get excited.

The disciple approached Wu Lingfeng and said, "I'm here to register."

Wu Lingfeng nodded, then took out a notebook and a pen, and said, "Name."

The disciple looked at Wu Lingfeng with his usual arrogant expression and said, "You don't recognize me?"

Wu Lingfeng was taken aback for a moment, then he looked up at the disciple and said, "Should I know you?"

The disciple looked insulted and shouted, "You don't recognize me? You don't recognize me? I'm a genius of the sect, and you don't recognize me?"

Wu Lingfeng was stunned. To be honest, he had met all sorts of people in the past two years, but he had never seen anyone like this disciple before. Reaching the power level at the age of 10 was indeed a genius. But even if you are a genius, no one can deny that you are a genius. But even if you are a genius, it is impossible for everyone in the entire sect to know you, right? Why is it like there is some great crime that no one knows you?
However, Wu Lingfeng quickly came to his senses and looked at the disciple, saying, "I'm sorry, I really don't know you. I don't usually know much about sect affairs. What's your name?"

Although Wu Lingfeng was a little angry, he still spoke to the disciple politely. He felt there was no need to offend him. The other party was a genius disciple, and it seemed that becoming an inner disciple was not a problem. If he really offended him, he might even lose his current job, which would be really not worth it. So he spoke to him politely and even explained.

Unexpectedly, the other party became even angrier upon hearing his words, and shouted, "You don't understand the affairs of the sect? If you don't understand the affairs of the sect, what kind of manager are you? As an outer sect manager, you don't even recognize me, you don't even recognize the geniuses of the outer sect, so what kind of manager are you? I think you should quit being a manager."

Wu Lingfeng was completely stunned. He hadn't expected the other party to react this way. He quickly said, "Junior brother..."

"Who is your junior brother? Do you even deserve to be called one?" The disciple shouted before he could finish speaking. He stood up, strode to the door, and flung it open, yelling, "Someone like you doesn't deserve to stay in the sect. I will expel you from the sect!"

His voice was so loud that everyone on the second floor could hear it, and people in other rooms opened their doors and looked at them.

Wu Lingfeng stared blankly at the man's actions, then his anger flared up. He couldn't understand why the man had suddenly exploded when he was simply following normal procedure and asking for the man's name. He hadn't said anything; what was wrong with a normal inquiry? Wu Lingfeng's face was ashen, but he suppressed his anger and said, "Junior brother, you're here to register. I'm just asking you a normal question. I don't know what you're so angry about."

"Don't call me junior brother. You're not worthy to call me junior brother. You're just deliberately making things difficult for me. In the entire outer sect, who doesn't know me? You actually say you don't know me. What else is this but making things difficult for me?"

Wu Lingfeng's face grew even uglier, just then a series of footsteps approached, followed by a voice asking, "What's going on?"

Wu Lingfeng recognized the voice as that of the elder in charge of the outer sect. He quickly stood up, and at that moment, he heard the disciple say, "Uncle Lu, why does your outer sect management office accept just anyone? Look at this person, he doesn't even recognize me? And he's deliberately making things difficult for me."

Upon hearing the disciple's words, Wu Lingfeng was both shocked and furious. He was shocked because the disciple's tone suggested he was quite familiar with the elder, and furious because the other party actually accused him of making things difficult for him? Wasn't this just turning the tables?

At this moment, Elder Lu also arrived in front of Wu Lingfeng's office. Wu Lingfeng hurriedly bowed to Elder Lu and said, "Elder Lu, I just..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard Elder Lu say, "Wu Lingfeng, how dare you make things difficult for Junior Brother Wu? I think you don't want to work here anymore. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Balang Mountain branch to guard it. Don't stay here anymore."

Wu Lingfeng was stunned. He never expected that Elder Lu would do such a thing. That so-called brother-in-law Wu had only said one sentence, yet he was not even given a chance to explain before being directly sent to the Balang Mountain branch. As an outer disciple, how could he not know what the Balang Mountain branch was? It was called a branch, but it was actually just an observation post.

Balang Mountain is a large mountain on the outer edge of a continuous mountain range in Qingyang Sect. Beyond Balang Mountain lies an endless range of mountains, inhabited by countless demonic beasts, some of which are extremely powerful. To ensure safety, the sect has set up an observation post on Balang Mountain. The disciples sent there do not need to do anything but keep watch and prevent large numbers of demonic beasts from running out of the mountains and attacking the sect.

This job is very simple, and it seems like anyone can do it, which is indeed the case. However, the spiritual energy in Balang Mountain is extremely thin, and there is no human habitation within a hundred miles. Once you are sent there, you will be stationed there alone year-round. There is no one to talk to, and you can't usually see anyone. It can be said to be a place of exile. In the past, the sect would offer more benefits to recruit someone to be stationed there, but later, the sect changed its method. If anyone makes a mistake in the sect, they will be exiled to Balang Mountain as a form of punishment.

Now he was being exiled to Balang Mountain, which completely stunned him. However, he quickly recovered and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart. He immediately shouted, "Elder Lu, what mistake have I made? All I did was not recognize him! He came to register, saying he had reached the power level. I merely asked his name, and he accused me of looking down on him. I ask you, is it not normal for me not to know his name? Is it not normal for me to ask his name and register him? Where did I go wrong?"

Wu Lingfeng thought he was immune to anger, but at this moment he was truly furious. He was so angry he could hardly understand how such a person could exist in the world. He hadn't done anything wrong, yet the other party insisted on causing him trouble, and Elder Lu was about to punish him? He couldn't swallow this insult, so for the first time in a long time, he lost his temper.

Elder Lu's eyes flashed with a cold light as he looked at Wu Lingfeng and said, "Disrespecting your superior is the biggest mistake. Wu Lingfeng, either you go home and farm, or you go and guard Balang Mountain. Choose one."

Upon hearing Elder Lu's words, Wu Lingfeng's anger surged even more. He snorted coldly and said, "Going home to farm is nothing special. I'm really not doing it anymore." After saying that, he took out a jade token representing the disciple in charge, threw it on the ground, and then walked out.

Elder Lu stared at Wu Lingfeng with a livid face. He hadn't expected Wu Lingfeng to actually dare to leave. Although Wu Lingfeng's exile seemed to have been a great injustice, his monthly benefits wouldn't be reduced. If Wu Lingfeng went home to farm, his income would definitely be less than what he earned guarding Balang Mountain. Therefore, most of the disciples in charge wouldn't speak out even if they suffered some injustices; instead, they would endure it and might even secretly come to him to offer gifts to get him exempted from punishment. Elder Lu thought Wu Lingfeng would do the same, but he hadn't expected that Wu Lingfeng would not only defy him but now directly refuse to continue. This made Elder Lu's face even uglier and he became even angrier.

Elder Lu looked at Wu Lingfeng's expression and snorted coldly, "Wu Lingfeng, you'd better think this through. If you quit, it will be difficult for your children to join the sect in the future, and your family will be stuck farming for generations." Elder Lu knew very well that it was easier for the children of outer sect managers to join the outer sect, but it was not an easy task for the children of ordinary farmers. Therefore, most people would not leave the outer sect and return home to farm for the sake of their children.

Wu Lingfeng snorted coldly and said, "I don't have any children, and I don't plan to have any in this life. What are you going to do about it?" After saying that, he strode out and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only Elder Lu with a livid face and the others who were dumbfounded.
