Wei Xin wasn't very old, and among the stewards of the entire meteorite iron mine, he was considered young. However, Wei Xin hadn't been with the Grand Sky Sect for a short time. The stewards of the Grand Sky Sect's various industries generally fell into two categories. The first type were disciples from within the sect who, for some reason, realized they might not achieve great success in cultivation and turned to become stewards in the various industries under the Grand Sky Sect. These were generally referred to as internal stewards. The other type entered the Grand Sky Sect's industries through other means, starting as ordinary workers and gradually becoming stewards due to their outstanding performance. Although both types were called stewards, there was actually a significant difference in status. Internal stewards were at least former outer sect disciples of the Grand Sky Sect. After all, they came from the sect, so it's impossible for the sect not to take care of them. If an internal steward performed exceptionally well, they could become a deacon. In the Grand Sky Sect, a deacon's status was second only to an elder. For any internal steward, their ultimate goal was undoubtedly to become a deacon one day. This wasn't just a way for the Grand Sky Sect to take care of its disciples but also a method to prevent spies from infiltrating. After all, Grand Sky Sect disciples underwent the strictest selection, making it extremely difficult for spies to become disciples. Moreover, any disciple capable of becoming part of the Grand Sky Sect had to be exceptionally talented. Sending such an outstanding disciple as a spy would be a huge loss if discovered. The last time the Demonic Sect suffered a loss was still fresh in memory... However, the recruitment for the Grand Sky Sect's industries wasn't as strict, leading to a situation where a spy once infiltrated and became a deacon. It's important to know that although a deacon's status wasn't as high as an elder's, they could still participate in some of the sect's important matters. If a spy occupied this position, the sect's secrets would no longer be secrets. Because of past losses, the Grand Sky Sect established the current regulations. Wei Xin, who entered the meteorite iron mine as an external hire at a young age, was indeed outstanding. Under Xu Wei's leadership, who wasn't the type to suppress subordinates, Wei Xin worked his way up from an ordinary worker to the peak he could reach, which was the position of steward. Chu Xinghe specifically summoned Xu Wei, and upon hearing that Xinghe wanted to know about Wei Xin, Xu Wei couldn't stop praising him. "Xinghe... if you ask about others in the meteorite iron mine, I might hesitate to say much, but Wei Xin is someone I've watched grow step by step. His abilities in management are absolutely top-notch!" Hearing Xu Wei's words, Chu Xinghe looked serious. Such an outstanding management talent, if left in the meteorite iron mine, wouldn't he lead it to soar? This was practically an invisible backstabber hidden in the shadows. Such a danger had to be nipped in the bud. In fact, dealing with someone like Wei Xin, with Chu Xinghe's current power, a single word could ruin him. But Senior Brother Xinghe was a person of morals, principles, and ideals... Wei Xin was just a bit outstanding; would it be too absurd to ruin him for that? So, he couldn't be punished, right? Then rewarding him shouldn't be a problem, right? Look, not only is Wei Xin capable, but he also never takes anything he shouldn't. In this greedy meteorite iron mine, Wei Xin was like a lotus unsullied by the mud. Such an outstanding person deserved a reward, didn't he? So, pass on my order: merit must be rewarded. With Wei Xin's great contributions, directly admitting him to the Grand Sky Sect's inner sect seems reasonable! Upon hearing Xinghe's decision, Xu Wei was dumbfounded. What... Xinghe... isn't this reward a bit too much? Wei Xin is outstanding in management, but his talent in cultivation isn't strong. If he really enters the inner sect, he might not achieve much. To Xu Deacon's words, Chu Xinghe solemnly replied, "Xu Deacon, you're confused!" "Let's not talk about management skills first. You say Wei Xin lacks talent in cultivation?" "That was before... now that spiritual energy has revived, cultivation is easier than before. So what if Wei Xin can cultivate? What if!" "What? You say the revival of spiritual energy doesn't affect talent much?" "What? Are you looking down on our Spirit Crane Palace? With our Spirit Crane Palace's pills, we could even push a pig to the seventh grade!" Seeing the confused Xu Wei, Ma Liang quickly chimed in, "Xu Deacon, you haven't understood Senior Brother Xinghe's intentions..." "If Wei Xin has talent in cultivation, he can improve within the sect. If he really doesn't have talent, even if he comes out of the inner sect, wouldn't he be considered an internal steward? Then he might have a chance to become a deacon. Senior Brother Xinghe is giving him an opportunity." Hearing Ma Liang's words, Xu Wei suddenly understood. No wonder Ma Liang was Xinghe's top confidant; he truly understood every decision Xinghe made! Chu Xinghe was also confused... Damn it, Ma Liang, how does your brain work? Why is your perspective on problems completely different from normal people? Damn it, did I bring Wei Xin into the inner sect because I was worried his management talent would lead the meteorite iron mine to soar? Did I want him to become a deacon? What? Do you think your Senior Brother Xinghe is cheap? Thinking a steward might not be able to lead the mine to soar, so you make him a deacon to fully soar? But this time, Chu Xinghe wasn't worried at all. Ma Liang's idea was good. If Wei Xin really entered the inner sect, then coming out would definitely make him an internal steward. If he performed well enough, aiming for deacon wouldn't be a problem. But the question is... whether Wei Xin can come out after entering the inner sect isn't up to Ma Liang. Still thinking of coming out of the inner sect? Don't worry! Even if you have no talent in cultivation, even if you're a cultivation insulator, you won't take a step out of the inner sect, giving you no chance to showcase your management skills. Soon, the news that Wei Xin was promoted to the inner sect by Senior Brother Xinghe for his outstanding performance spread throughout the meteorite iron mine. What does it mean to rise to the top overnight? When this news spread, countless external stewards were green with envy. A disciple of the Grand Sky Sect's inner sect... that's something many people don't even dare to dream of. Especially in the past two years, let alone becoming an inner disciple, many families dream of sending their disciples to become miner disciples. Wei Xin's journey from an ordinary worker to a steward was already a small legend, and now being directly noticed by Senior Brother Xinghe and entering the inner sect was truly rising to the top. In the sect, Senior Brother Xinghe's status was significant, and being promoted to the inner sect by him was far more prestigious than entering through normal means. When Xu Wei personally delivered the news to Wei Xin, Wei Xin stood stunned for a full minute before his face broke into a joyful grin! Wei Xin knelt down on the spot, thanking Senior Brother Xinghe for his grace! Seeing the ecstatic Wei Xin, Xu Wei also advised, "Wei Xin... you must not disappoint Xinghe's expectations. Even if your talent in cultivation isn't outstanding, entering the inner sect this time is a chance to defy fate. As long as you work hard enough in the future, even if cultivation doesn't work out, there's still a chance to become a deacon!" Wei Xin, with tears in his eyes, nodded repeatedly, also expressing his gratitude to Xu Deacon. After respectfully seeing Xu Deacon off, Wei Xin closed the door and sat alone in his room. At this moment, the joy on Wei Xin's face changed. His joy now carried a hint of a sinister smile. Fifteen years! Wei Xin had been in the meteorite iron mine for fifteen years. From an ordinary worker, Wei Xin had climbed step by step to become a steward of the meteorite iron mine. Wei Xin's excellence was undeniable, but only Wei Xin knew that he harbored a monumental secret. He was a person of the Cloud Soar Sect! Fifteen years ago, Wei Xin was ordered by the Great Elder Ling Su of the Cloud Soar Sect to infiltrate the meteorite iron mine. Over these fifteen years, Wei Xin had carefully hidden himself, using his outstanding management skills to climb from an ordinary worker to one of the many stewards of the meteorite iron mine. Over the years, Wei Xin had leaked various information about the meteorite iron mine to the Cloud Soar Sect. Unfortunately, Wei Xin was still an outsider. Even reaching the level of steward, he was still an external steward. Whenever Xu Wei discussed important matters, only internal stewards were invited, so Wei Xin never had the chance to access the most core information, and the information he sent was never substantial. Wei Xin knew that no matter how well he performed, he could never truly infiltrate the Grand Sky Sect, so he had been waiting for an opportunity. Others were corrupt... he remained clean... others were lazy... he worked hard... Wei Xin showcased his best side, all in anticipation of an opportunity. Gu Mingchao would inspect various places every year, and during his last inspection of the meteorite iron mine, he praised Wei Xin for his good performance. But it was just praise. Wei Xin knew it wasn't enough... he had to perform perfectly. Only then might he catch Gu Mingchao's eye. Only then might Gu Mingchao personally promote him. Only by standing in a higher position could he obtain more secrets of the Grand Sky Sect and send more information to the Cloud Soar Sect. Today, Wei Xin didn't wait for Gu Mingchao but for Chu Xinghe! Initially, Wei Xin was quite worried, given Chu Xinghe's reputation. The unpredictable Chu Xinghe... ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novｅlfire.net The infallible Chu Xinghe... The cunning Chu Xinghe... A person's name casts a shadow, and Wei Xin was very concerned about Chu Xinghe... would he discover any clues about him? But now, upon hearing that he was directly promoted by Chu Xinghe to become an inner disciple, Wei Xin laughed heartily! What bullshit Chu Xinghe... just like that... Chu Xinghe, you personally promoted a spy into the inner sect; you're utterly foolish! I've endured for fifteen years for this day, and since you've given me this opportunity, Chu Xinghe! Don't blame me, Wei Xin, for being ruthless... I, Wei Xin, will start as an inner disciple and gradually expose the Grand Sky Sect's secrets. When the Grand Sky Sect falls one day, I, Wei Xin, will have played a part! This so-called number one sect in the world is doomed with me in it!
