Chapter 35 - 35: Rejection (Please Follow)

"Among the non-direct members of the Jiang Family, there is indeed a hierarchy."

Jiang Lan looked at Cao Yong and said slowly, "But the specific level has to be determined by the family's senior members, which I am not in a position to judge."

Cao Yong said in a deep voice, "As the legitimate daughter of the Jiang Family, Miss Jiang should have some say, right?"

"Hmm..."

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment, then glanced at Xu Zhou and said, "If it were up to me, I would offer the highest D-level treatment."

"D-level?" Cao Yong's face changed slightly.

Even the principal's expression shifted.

Xu Zhou was the only one a bit puzzled. What level is D-level treatment considered to be?

Cao Yong said in a deep voice, "As far as I know, for members from outside the family line, the Jiang Family offers a maximum of S-level and a minimum of E-level, a total of six tiers."

"Isn't D-level a bit low?"

The principal also spoke slowly, "Once you become a member of the Jiang Family, it means maintaining this level for the next ten years."

He shook his head and said, "If it's just D-level, it's indeed somewhat low."

Jiang Lan looked at the two men, a faint and indefinable smile appearing on her delicate face, "Even if the family's senior members come over, they would most likely offer only D-level treatment."

"As for why, you should know better than I do."

Upon these words, the principal's face changed slightly.

He looked deeply at Jiang Lan, as if he had thought of something, and fell into silence for a moment.

Cao Yong, on the other hand, furrowed his brows and said slowly, "Miss Jiang, given Xu Zhou's current talent and strength, isn't that enough?"

Xu Zhou watched them argue, growing more confused in his heart.

Judging by his teacher and the principal's words, D-level treatment didn't seem that great.

Was it because his talent wasn't outstanding enough? But according to his teacher, his talent was supposed to be top-notch.

"D-level treatment is already very high."

Jiang Lan's face was calm, "Annually, there are millions in cultivation resources, and these can be obtained before he graduates from high school."

"These resources are the Jiang Family's investment in him, and regardless of whether he can grow in the future, this investment will be given as promised."

She looked at Xu Zhou with her beautiful eyes, "Xu Zhou, with all that's been said, are you willing to join the Jiang Family?"

Xu Zhou pondered slightly.

At this moment, Cao Yong spoke in a low voice beside him, "Xu Zhou, joining the Jiang Family means that for the next ten years, you won't be able to join any faction other than the Jiang Family."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhou glanced at his teacher.

He understood what his teacher meant.

The next second, Xu Zhou looked at Jiang Lan apologetically, "Sorry, let me think about it."

Which was actually a polite refusal.

After all, Jiang Lan was just passing by and wouldn't likely come again.

Hearing this, Jiang Lan simply nodded slightly, the humor in her eyes fading, replaced by the indifference specific to those of inner city direct lineage.

"If that's the case, I won't stay here any longer."

She looked at the principal, "Principal Chen, no need to see me out."

Having said that, Jiang Lan turned around and strode away.

The middle-aged man in a suit accompanying her also left.

Once the two left, Cao Yong nodded towards Xu Zhou, saying, "Not agreeing to join the Jiang Family just now was the right choice."

Millions in cultivation resources per year, such temptation isn't easily resisted by just anyone.

Yet Xu Zhou, after hearing just a word from Cao Yong, immediately refused.

This made Cao Yong admire Xu Zhou even more.

In fact, Xu Zhou's refusal to Jiang Lan wasn't just due to Cao Yong; he himself wasn't interested in the sudden invitation.

It wasn't just that he didn't have a good impression of the inner city, but Jiang Lan didn't seem to value him highly either.

Plus, they only offered D-level member treatment.

With that in mind, Xu Zhou naturally saw no reason to agree.

However, Xu Zhou couldn't help but wonder, "In the Jiang Family, is D-level member treatment really that low?"

After all, millions in cultivation resources is a considerable amount anywhere.

"Looking at it now, certainly not low."

Cao Yong looked at Xu Zhou and said seriously, "But what about later? When you become a second-grade Martial Artist, or even a third-grade Martial Artist, the daily consumption of cultivation resources will be tens of thousands."

"Once you become a D-level member, it means that for the next ten years, you can only receive a million annually."

"By then, this identity will become your constraint instead."

Xu Zhou was slightly shocked in his heart.

He didn't expect the path of Martial Artists to be so costly.

"Don't dwell on this matter," Cao Yong continued, "Since the Jiang Family is willing to specially recruit you, surely other Inner City Families will also specially recruit you one day."

"Special recruitment?" Xu Zhou looked at his teacher in confusion.

The principal beside him explained, "Ordinary people from the Outer City District are unable to enter the Inner City."

"The Inner City is the true core area of Yan Country, where the top warriors and their descendants all live."

Xu Zhou nodded, indeed understanding that point.

The principal continued, "There is a huge disparity between the Inner City and Outer City District, so people from both sides rarely interact."

"People from the Outer City District may find it difficult to ever enter the Inner City their whole lives."

The principal sighed, "But, extraordinary talents do appear in the Outer City District."
