Chapter 14

“Damn idiot.”

“A bunch of idiots.”

After cursing those who tried to challenge her dozens of times in her heart, Bai Lian realized that she was almost at her destination.

The scenery was picturesque.

She turned around and called out to Xiao Jinse.

However, she saw that this little junior sister’s eyes were shining brightly as the other party complimented her. “Senior Sister, you’re a good person. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be so magnanimous!”

“…”

In fact, she also wanted to knock opponents out like a fearless man!

However…

Bai Lian’s lips squirmed, but in the end, she swallowed the words she wanted to say.

The more words she said, the more mistakes she made. She decided to be a silent and beautiful ice queen for the time being.

Just as she walked near the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, Bai Lian saw a “strong man” in a loose Daoist robe. His square face was especially eye-catching.

It was obvious that this was the elder of the Cultivation Pavilion, Gao Yi, known as Fu Yunzi.

Speaking of this, Bai Lian couldn’t help but complain. The fixed format of the nicknames of the elders, heads, and sect masters of the Immortal Du Sect always ended with “zi”.

For example, “Jue Yunzi” and “Fu Yunzi”.

Bai Lian imagined her nickname in the future…

Bai Lianzi, Fake-zi, Pervert-zi, Scum-zi…

With the addition of “zi”, even those bad words seemed to have become inexplicably “cute”.

But on careful thought, adding “zi” was still inferior to titles such as “Heaven-Defying Asura” and “Mad Dragon Battle God”.

Bai Lian stopped on the wooden bridge at the entrance of the Cultivation Pavilion because Gao Yi was already calling her.

“Elder Gao.”

Bai Lian bowed slightly, and Xiao Jinse beside her followed suit.

Gao Yi smiled and nodded. He pointed at Xiao Jinse and said, “This is Junior Sister An Lan’s new disciple?”

The second junior sister was uneasy and didn’t dare to say anything. Bai Lian answered for her, “That’s right. Elder Gao, I’ll bring Junior Sister to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to choose a suitable cultivation technique.”

Gao Yi’s gaze didn’t stay on Xiao Jinse for long.

Compared to the natural saint Bai Lian, the others were not worth paying attention to!

“I wonder why Elder Gao is looking for me?”

Gao Yi pinched his chin. “You can’t tell others about this.”

Was it that mysterious?

Upon hearing that, Xiao Jinse tactfully retreated to the side.

Gao Yi made a hand seal and surrounded himself and Bai Lian. This way, outsiders couldn’t hear their conversation.

Suddenly, he sighed and said, “Bai Lian, do you know that you’ll face a bloody disaster soon!”

“?”

Was he a fortune-teller? The first thing he said to her was actually that she had a bad omen.

As she complained, Bai Lian still felt a little guilty.

Once the challenge was not handled well, she would really be in trouble.

Could it be that Elder Gao Yi had already seen through her and knew that she was actually a big idiot? Now that he had come to scare her, was he trying to turn her into someone people couldn’t afford to offend?

A new mission option popped up in front of Bai Lian as she was thinking.

[Mission 1: Confess your true strength in a panic (Mission reward: Immovable Golden Body)]

[Mission 2: “Are you teaching me how to do things?” (Mission Reward: Top-grade Dharma artifact, Sky Penetrating Banner)]

[Mission 3: Ask humbly: What is it that Elder Gao is talking about? (Mission reward: Soft body skill+2)]

It was rare to see such an easy choice. This naturally made Bai Lian happy and her impression of Gao Yi also automatically increased by 1.

Even a peerless fierce man couldn’t choose Mission 1 at this time. As for Mission 2, Bai Lian didn’t dare to choose it anyway.

She cupped her hands and said, “I don’t understand. What are you talking about, Elder Gao?”

“Haha.” Gao Yi laughed loudly. “Your bearing is calm, and you’re not flustered in the face of danger. Alright! Bai Lian, don’t worry. I’m just kidding with you. Let me ask you, has your holy body changed recently?”

“…”

A new mission option popped up in front of Bai Lian.

[Mission 1: “I don’t know!” (Mission Reward: Overlord Spear Technique)]

[Mission 2: No, right?] (Mission Reward: Mid-grade Dharma artifact, Dragon Binding Lock)]

[Mission 3: Sigh: “I’m troubled by this matter.” (Mission Reward: Calligraphy+3)]

Looking at Gao Yi’s smiling face, Bai Lian’s heart skipped a beat. This was the first time she had encountered so many missions popping out. Gao Yi was clearly testing her!

Confession would lead to a lenient punishment whereas resistance would cause a harsh punishment.

Bai Lian said in distress, “This also happened a few days ago…”

She took a few steps in front of Gao Yi and displayed her Dao runes special effect.

Gao Yi nodded repeatedly. “Wonderful, wonderful!”

He raised his right hand and pressed down, and Bai Lian stopped.

Then, a blue earring that looked like a starry sky suddenly appeared in Gao Yi’s hand. “This is what the sect master asked me to bring you.”

Why would the sect master give her an earring?

Bai Lian’s face was filled with suspicion.

Gao Yi explained, “It can help you hide the Dao runes that involuntarily emit from your body.”

Bai Lian was amused.

It would be a waste not to want free equipment.

“Do you know why Jiang Ning suddenly comprehended the Dao just now?”

Bai Lian shook her head.

“That’s because he saw your feet!” Gao Yi said seriously. “To be precise, it was the Dao runes left behind when you walked. At that moment, he suddenly understood.”

“…”

Gao Yi continued, “Just because Jiang Ning and the others don’t understand doesn’t mean that the others don’t. Once this news gets out, the experts in the world will definitely covet your feet. At that time, you’ll probably… Sigh.”

Bai Lian revealed a bitter expression.

How could she not understand?

This damn system was scamming her. She couldn’t resist.

At the thought of those “feet freaks”, Bai Lian felt a chill.

It was too scary.

Gao Yi said, “You’re a smart child. I don’t think I need to keep reminding you. Leave the other things to me. You just have to remember one thing. It’s a good habit to hide your strength appropriately.”

The other party was telling her to be steady. She naturally understood this.

Bai Lian nodded and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Elder. Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master.”

Gao Yi smiled.

He was very satisfied with Bai Lian’s performance the whole time. Junior Sister An Lan was unreliable, but she had taken in a good disciple!

Before leaving, Gao Yi specially checked Bai Lian’s cultivation.

“Late-stage Foundation Establishment?”

Gao Yi sighed. He suddenly understood. So Bai Lian had been hiding her strength for a long time. Moreover, this spell to hide her strength was quite brilliant. Even he couldn’t see through it.

“Not bad, continue to maintain it,” Gao Yi said. “I think you can surpass your master.”

Bai Lian hurriedly said that she didn’t dare to dream.

“There’s no need to be so humble in front of me, haha.”

Gao Yi’s eyes were filled with pity. How good would it be if this was his daughter?

He waved his sleeve and flew away.

Bai Lian opened her mouth.

She was really not humble. She was clearly an honest person.

Surpass the Immortal Heavenly Venerate?

What a joke.

“Senior Sister.”

Seeing Gao Yi leave, Xiao Jinse hurriedly walked up. She looked at Bai Lian eagerly, as if she wanted to know what had just happened.

Bai Lian said, “It’s not a big deal. Elder Gao just told me not to show off too much lest others are jealous.”

Xiao Jinse said, “Elder Gao is really a kind elder!”

Wasn’t that so?

Although the process was a little dangerous, he had given her equipment and attribute points. It was completely right to say that he was a generous elder!

…

In the training hall…

Bai Lian first helped Xiao Jinse choose a fire-element cultivation method according to the game setting before bringing this second junior sister to the aptitude testing table.

“Put your hand on it.”

“Yes.”

Xiao Jinse was very obedient.

A few breaths later, blurry words began to appear on the cylinder.

She only hoped that Second Junior Sister could pull herself together as soon as possible!

Bai Lian’s feelings were very complicated.

On one hand, she coveted her junior sisters’ bodies, but on the other hand, she hoped to stay away from them as much as possible. Occasionally, when she thought of her junior sisters’ backgrounds, she couldn’t help but feel a little pity.

As she expected, the last thing that appeared on the pillar was the [Low-level Fire Spiritual Root].

Bai Lian touched Xiao Jinse’s head. “Junior Sister, according to what I know, the level of the spiritual root can be increased. You don’t have to be sad because of this. Master and I will think of a way to help you increase the level of the spiritual root.”

Xiao Jinse looked up.

Unexpectedly, there was no sadness on her face at all. Instead, there was some joy.

“Senior Sister, compared to before, I’m already very satisfied!”

Xiao Jinse thought to herself: “Senior Sister, there was originally no light in my world. It was all night. It was you who helped me see light. No matter how weak this light was, I would still hug it with all my might.”

Night fell.

Bai Lian lay on the surface of the cold pool.

As the saying went, “After getting drunk, one didn’t know that the sky was water, and the ship was filled with dreams.”

Every month, she would always have a few days when she was sentimental.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside the herb garden. Bai Lian immediately stood up.

That rabbit was here again!
