"Ah, You guys are here. Alright, take over. I will go get some rest," Ma Rong said as she looked towards the two elders. 

"Are you gonna go take a rest as well, Yu?" she asked. 

"Umm… I will stay here for a while and leave around evening time," Alex said. 

"Very well. You can stay here with Second Elder and Third Elder," Ma Rong said as left. 

The two elders came and sat a little to the left of Alex and looked towards the horizon. "I'm really surprised sect master is letting you take part in the competition so soon, Disciple Yu," the Third Elder said. 

She was a little younger than Ma Rong and was shorter too. She also had robes that were custom-tailored to fit the curvature of her body. Overall, she looked much more appealing to the eyes than any of the other Elders Alex had seen, including his master. 

"Yes, Elder. I was surprised when I learned it too," Alex said. 

"But I heard you are quite talented, Disciple Yu. Is that true?" the second Elder asked. 

"I wouldn't really know about that. I haven't had much interaction with the other disciples, so I don't know what is normal and what is not in terms of talent," Alex replied. 

"Oh, nice reply. Not arrogant at all, I like it," the Third Elder said. 

Far away, Zhou Mei saw her masters talking with Alex and got a little ticked off. She walked up to them and heard, 

"So you will be taking part in two of the competitions huh? Any idea what the third one will be?" Second Elder asked. 

"He'll be taking part in the competition? Isn't he too new to all of this to take part in them?" Zhou Mei asked. 

"Oh, maybe. But he is talented, so he gets to," Third Elder said. 

"How talented can he be if he only just entered the core sect? Master, you must be pulling my leg," Zhou Mei said.

"Oh, then you mustn't know about his ingredient finding and pill-making abilities. I thought you already talked with him after finding out who he was a few days ago?" Second Elder asked. 

"I… I didn't talk with him. Why? How talented can he be?" Zhou Mei asked. 

"Oh, Disciple Yu, what is the highest harmony pill you've made yet?" Second Elder asked. 

Alex was a little surprised by the line of questioning. 'Why would you ask that of someone?' he thought. But they were elders and probably already knew about the ones he registered, so he replied, "It was 43%." 

The two elders nodded as if they were just testing him, but Zhou Mei's eyes were wide open. "Wait what? No way he is making 43% harmony pills. That is way too high. Even Wan Li can barely make 40%, and that's under best conditions," Zhou Mei cried out. 

"What can I tell you, Little Mei, that is true," Second Elder said. The third Elder giggled at the side.

"But… But… That must be because he got everything handed to him. He learned everything in the sect was treated with bias," she tried to make accusations. 

Alex started to get annoyed a little. 'Why do I have to sit here and listen to her bullsh*t?' he thought and decided to leave. 

But then, the second elder spoke, "No, there was no bias in his treatment as far as I know. To be fair, me and her were out here learning about the competition when he joined the sect. But from what we heard afterward, he made a great contribution to the sect."

"So big, that everything in the sect was given to him to use with full authority," he said. 

"What? What could he have done to gain that?" she asked. Full authority over everything meant that everything in the sect was free for him to use. That would obviously help everyone get a little better even if they put no effort into anything. 

"Oh, that's a secret for now. I don't know if anyone other than the elders is allowed to know it or not. You will have to ask the sect leader herself," Second Elder said. 

Not getting any answers, Zhou Mei left. Alex felt a little weird about everything and left them as well and went back to the room in the ship. 

Having nothing to do anymore, he logged out. 

He woke up from his bed feeling hungry. "Uhh… I haven't eaten in nearly 9 hours," he thought and walked out of the room. He made his way to the kitchen and found Hannah in the living room watching the TV.

"You ate already, sister?" he asked.

"Hmm… oh yeah. Go get your food," she said.

Alex went to the kitchen and got himself a snack. He then walked back to the living room and sat down on the sofa watching the TV. 

"What are you watching?" he asked. 

"Oh, I was watching the news about the capsules and one thing lead to another. Now I'm just watching whatever is on," she said. 

"Oh, what was the capsule's news about?" he asked. 

"Oh, it seems we won't have to go to the shop for shopping at all. It will be delivered to us. We only have to go to the shops to give them our helmets and get a discount," Hannah said. 

"Oh, then I should go there tomorrow, right?" he said. 

"What? Do you really care about some measly discounts after earning so much?" she asked. 

"Umm… I guess not?" he said. "Oh yeah. My master said that we can stay in the hotel tomorrow, so we can have that party  you've been meaning to have for the longest time." 

"Oh, nice. I will start ordering stuff. Wait, no. I have to let them know first," she said and started messaging the guests.

Alex just stayed there and ate his snack. "Sister, I think I have a little problem for next week. I don't know what to do about it," he said.

"Oh, what problem?" she asked.
