Everyone looked at the new arrival. It was a young man with whitish-blue robes and a saber on his back. Gravis also felt some Punishment Lightning inside of the person, which confirmed his identity.
This was probably one of the Core Disciples of the Punishment Cleaver Sect, the Sect that Gravis would join.
"Junior brother?" Gravis asked. "I'm not your brother yet, so please refrain from addressing me like that."
The expression of the new arrival remained kind, but Gravis could feel some slight changes in him. It was difficult for Gravis to properly evaluate the inner thoughts of someone so many levels above him, but he was sure that this person wasn't as kind as he showed himself to be.
"Junior brother," the man said. "You have already agreed to join our Sect, and with this, you have become my junior brother. As far as I am concerned, you are one of us already, and we need to help each other."
