"What's there to laugh about!?"
Han Baiwen was extremely annoyed just thinking about how he had become a disciple.
Originally, he hadn't achieved any merits on the Chuan-Yu Road, and had even leaked secrets that weren't considered confidential, for which he should have been punished.
But because he was also an introducer for Zhang San, and since Zhang San had helped the Heavenly Punishment Sect obtain Bai Yucheng's account books, he ended up being credited for a merit.
Therefore, he received a reward from the sect, which gave him the chance to be taken as a disciple by one of the sect's Purple Mansion Realm or nearly Purple Mansion Realm powerhouses.
For this purpose, Han Baiwen bathed and changed clothes, praying devoutly, and then... he was chosen by Xia Chenglong, the beggar among beggars.
Others who weren't chosen just had a bucket of cold water thrown on them; he felt like he had a bucket of swill poured over him.
