"Do you two know about the inner court's ranking system?"
After some praise, Brother Zhao Ritian steered the conversation to the main topic.
"Ranking system? What's that?"
Sun Wukong and Shen Lang were taken aback; they had never heard of it before.
"The so-called ranking system refers to the hierarchy ranking within the inner court."
Brother Zhao Ritian explained, "For example, my rank in the inner court is ninth, so I'm your ninth senior brother."
"The inner court has a total of one hundred disciples and thirty-three mountain peaks, but only thirty-two peaks are available for disciples to use. The highest peak is where the dean resides."
"What about the remaining disciples?"
"Of course, the remaining disciples build their dwellings on the Great Plains below the peaks."
Brother Zhao Ritian said, "To put it simply, only the inner circle disciples residing on the thirty-two mountain peaks are ranked. The higher the peak, the stronger the power, and the higher the ranking."
