There’s Something Strange About This Sect

The favored child of heaven, Zhu Ci, fell from his pedestal. Wanted posters bearing his name filled the streets, and rumors about him spread everywhere.

After months on the run, he arrived at a remote sect. There weren't many people there, but every one of them seemed a little strange.

One day, Zhu Ci received a rare seven-colored spirit stone from his senior brother. Deeply moved, he asked, "Are you sure it's all right to give me such a valuable spirit stone?"

Senior Brother: "Huh...? Is it valuable?"

Oh... It seemed his senior brother didn't know what the item was worth. Then again, this was a bitterly cold region. That was normal.

Another day, Zhu Ci opened a tome called Records of the Hundred Greatest Divine Weapons and discovered that his master's weapon was on the first page.

Zhu Ci voiced his surprise. His master's friend came over, fanning himself as he said, "Where did you find this book? I tossed it somewhere years ago and have no idea where it ended up."

Zhu Ci thought nothing of it and turned to the second page. The fan illustrated there looked exactly like his master's friend's.

Oh... His master's friend did like making weapons. It was probably just a high-quality replica. Normal.

Yet another day, Zhu Ci accompanied his senior brothers and sisters from the sect to attend the Heroes' Gathering in the place he'd been forced to flee.

While visiting a temple as a guest from afar, he looked at his third senior brother's profile, then at the statue.

Zhu Ci laughed awkwardly. "Senior Brother, this statue really looks like you."

Oh... His senior brother was that handsome to begin with. It was the statue's good fortune to resemble him. Normal.

Zhu Ci: Is this really a proper sect? Why is everyone from the sect leader to the senior brothers so weird?

Jing Huaiya: Is it weird? I always thought every sect in the world was like this.
