Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 179: Quasi-Outer Sect Disciple

The entire Bing Character Seven Courtyard, and even all the disciples watching outside the courtyard, instantly fell into a deathly silence so profound you could hear a pin drop.

Elder Luo's body jolted violently, his livid face instantly flushing to the color of liver. He wanted to refute, but found any words seemed utterly feeble and pale in the face of those four characters.

"Sect Pillar" — such an evaluation had never before been used on a hall comprised of menial disciples!

Elder Ma was using his own prestige to vouch for the Repair Hall, for Su Ming!

However, that wasn't the end.

Elder Ma's gaze once again fell upon Su Ming, his tone flat, yet dropping another thunderbolt.

"Su Ming, your application for promotion to outer sect disciple, this old man has already submitted it to the sect."

The crowd completely erupted!

"What? Outer sect disciple? But his Dao foundation is damaged..."

"Personally recommended by Elder Ma! This... this Su Ming is practically ascending to heaven in a single step!"Manager Liu stood within the crowd, feeling darkness cloud his vision, nearly collapsing on the spot.

He had schemed with all his might, only to end up becoming the stepping stone for someone else's meteoric rise! This mouthful of reversed blood choked in his chest, making him almost faint.

Su Ming's heart was also roiling with towering waves, but he forcibly suppressed it, offering Elder Ma a deep bow from the waist.

"This disciple... thanks the elder for his nurturing!"

"Don't thank me." Elder Ma waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over Elder Luo whose face was now ashen with extreme displeasure, his words carrying a pointed meaning. "This is something your Repair Hall earned, brick by brick and tile by tile, through your own capability."

With that, he turned, hands clasped behind his back, and leisurely walked away, leaving behind a retreating figure and a ground littered with shattered astonishment.
