Chapter 24 - Short Term Best and Long Term Best

Chapter 24 Short Term Best and Long Term Best

Xiao Jinse didn’t see what happened at all.

She didn’t even notice the wind.

Just like that, a young girl who looked much younger than her suddenly appeared on Qiong Ming Peak.

Xiao Jinse involuntarily held her breath.

The girl stood there quietly.

Her expression was similar to Senior Sister Bai’s, but the aura emitted from her body was completely different. If Senior Sister Bai was a snow lotus, then the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him was a god above the nine heavens.

She could only be admired from a distance!

She raised her head slightly, her fairy-like face filled with arrogance, as if she was expressing her disdain for this world.

An Lan!

This name appeared in Xiao Jinse’s mind.

It was an indescribably strange feeling.

Probably only this special name was worthy of the top temperament of this almost perfect girl in front of her!

Why was the other party only almost perfect? Because Xiao Jinse realized that the girl was flat.

“Master, you’re finally back. This is your new disciple, Xiao Jinse,” Bai Lian said with a bow.

Xiao Jinse hurriedly followed along and shouted, “Master.”

“Yes.” An Lan nodded indifferently. “This kind of thing isn’t important. Bai Lian, follow me into the house first.”

“?י

Bai Lian was directly puzzled.

Something was wrong.

However, she couldn’t say anything. Although An Lan was like a salted fish usually, she still had the aura of an Immortal Heavenly Venerate when she was serious.

Seeing Bai Lian leave with An Lan, Xiao Jinse’s expression darkened.

In her master’s eyes, she was indeed an inconspicuous little invisible person.

ON

The reason why she was accepted as An Lan’s disciple was probably because of Senior Sister Bai’s recommendation!

Sigh.

Xiao Jinse gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

The more it was like this, the more she couldn’t disappoint Senior Sister Bai’s good intentions. She had to get good results in the competition between the new disciples in a month.

“I can’t embarrass Senior Sister Bai!”

Recently, there had already been rumors outside that there weren’t enough disciples of Qiong Ming Peak. According to the rumors, in order to protect the status of one of the five main peaks of Qiong Ming Peak, Bai Lian had casually found a good-for-nothing back from outside to make up the numbers.

ca

In the bedroom.

Bai Lian stood respectfully behind An Lan.

An Lan carefully sized up the landscape painting hanging on the wall and suddenly said, “Little Bai Lian, I heard that you’ve improved a lot recently.”

Bai Lian hurriedly repeated her second junior sister’s words. “It’s all because Master helped me cultivate.”

An Lan didn’t comment.

She pointed at a mountain in the painting and said, “Do you know what Yan Yue said to

me?!

Bai Lian shook her head. “I don’t know.”

A bad feeling rose in her heart.

“Cough.”

An Lan cleared her throat and opened her mouth slightly. The voice squeezed out of her throat sounded exactly the same as Bai Lian’s voice. “Aunt-Master Yan has really nurtured a good disciple. I’m far inferior to this junior sister! As Master’s eldest disciple, I can’t persuade her to change her shortcomings, unlike this junior sister over here…”

The other party’s long sigh stunned Bai Lian.

Damn.

She finally understood what was going on.

Bai Lian’s face turned pale.

The aftermath of the system’s high-level mission appeared!

At this moment, most of the doubts in her heart were resolved.

Why wasn’t Yan Yue angered when she stood up for Xiao Jinse?

It was because Yan Yue liked it.

After all, why would this seemingly harmless sentence allow her to obtain a new spell?

Because this sentence implied her “complaint” with An Lan.

Who was An Lan?

That was the arrogant Immortal Heavenly Venerate of the Immortal World!

Among the many famous words she left behind, one of them said…

A king couldn’t be humiliated!!!

What a scam!

At this moment, An Lan looked at the trembling Bai Lian with a faint smile. “Little Bai Lian, tell me, what are my shortcomings?”

IIII

There were too many!

But…

Afraid of An Lan’s power, Bai Lian didn’t dare to say a bad word. She smiled sweetly. “No, no. Why would Master have any shortcomings? I was also afraid of Aunt-Master Yan’s power. In order to protect Junior Sister, I had to say this.”

“Hmph!”

An Lan immediately snorted. Was the other party trying to fool her? Impossible.

“Aunt-Master Yan? She’s trash!”

Yes, yes, yes.

Whoever was more powerful had the final say. Bai Lian didn’t dare to refute An Lan at all.

In the game, An Lan could be said to be the most difficult character to conquer. On the one hand, it was because her personality was strange and difficult to fathom. On the other hand, it was because her strength was abnormally strong.

If it weren’t for the fact that she had fallen into a temporary low tide in order to recover her original strength, the game protagonist, Bai Lian, wouldn’t have had a chance to succeed.

After mercilessly scolding Yan Yue, An Lan placed her attention on Bai Lian again.

“You know your mistake?”

Bai Lian hurriedly nodded. “I understand, I understand.”

An Lan said, “Your voice is too soft, I can’t hear you!”

Bai Lian glanced outside the door.

An Lan said, “I’ve already added the soundproofing.”

Therefore, Bai Lian shouted at the top of her voice, “I was wrong!”

An Lan picked up the ruler and hit Bai Lian’s palm a few times.

It was simply a disgrace to gaming players!

Bai Lian was very depressed.

However, in this situation, she was helpless. She didn’t have the ability to fight An Lan.

It was all the system’s fault. If it hadn’t suddenly popped up with that mission, she wouldn’t have to suffer at all.

At this moment, Bai Lian understood again.

Every time she did a mission, she seemed to have chosen the optimal solution at that time, but that solution might not necessarily be the optimal solution in the long run.

Just like now, didn’t she end up angering An Lan?

Fortunately, she had provoked An Lan this time. It wasn’t a big deal to have her palm hit a few times. If she had provoked anyone else, she wouldn’t have been hit by a ruler, but she would probably have been poked by a stick.

The world had too much malice towards her!

An Lan threw away the ruler. “On the account that you taught Junior Sister pretty well, I won’t argue with you.”

Bai Lian squeezed out an awkward smile. “Thank you for your kindness, Master.”

An Lan didn’t comment.

She sized up Bai Lian with interest. The moment she met Bai Lian again, she discovered the abnormality.

The dense aura of death on Bai Lian’s body actually faded!

This was a change that had never happened in the past three years.

When An Lan observed deeper, she realized that although the color of the aura was a little faint, it seemed to be more dense.

Did this mean that once it erupted, it would be even more terrifying than before?

An Lan didn’t understand.

Because she didn’t understand, she wanted to watch the show even more!

First, he had to figure out why such a change had happened to Bai Lian. If there was anything different about Bai Lian from before, it was that she had recently gained a new junior sister. “I’ve decided!”

An Lan suddenly said.

Bai Lian looked at An Lan in confusion. “Master?”

An Lan smiled and said, “I’ve decided to help you find a few more junior sisters!”

“Ah, this?”

Bai Lian hurriedly stood up and wanted to persuade An Lan not to harm her.

“I’ve made up my mind.” An Lan’s words stopped Bai Lian. “I’ll go out and help you find them later.”

Cold sweat broke out on Bai Lian’s forehead. “Master, isn’t this too fast?”

Something like this should only have happened a year later… Bastard!

“Is it fast? No, our Qiong Ming Peak only has three people. It’s not too much even if we add a zero behind it.”

Bai Lian really wanted to say out loud, “Please spare me, I’m still a child!”

Bai Lian walked out of the room emotionally.

It was already very difficult to deal with a future Holy Spirit Goddess. How could she live with another reborn heaven-defying Asura!

This scene completely fell into Xiao Jinse’s eyes.

The girl was very puzzled. Senior Sister Bai’s face was as white as snow when she entered, so why was it red when she came out?

What exactly did she and her master do inside?
