Chapter 317: Second Sister Murong Xue

At this moment, the beautiful figure held a long brush and gently swiped it on the painting board supported by the wooden easel. Each stroked she made was rippling with endless charms. Even someone who knew nothing about the Dao of Painting like Yun Lintian could faintly feel the artistic concept emit from her action.

Jiang Yingyue and Yun Lintian did not interrupt her and calmly watched the beautiful woman finishing her painting. Unknowingly, an hour had passed by in a blink of an eye. The beautiful woman stopped her movement and stared at the mountain and river painting before her while losing in her thoughts. A while later, she let out a soft sigh and waved her hand, producing a faint aura to shred the painting into pieces.

Yun Lintian was stunned and stared at the woman blankly. He didn't understand why she destroyed such a beautiful work just like that.

Jian Yingyue was obviously accustomed to this scene as there was no fluctuation on her face when she saw this. She smiled faintly and said. "It seems you are still unable to break the bottleneck, Xuexue." 

It was at this moment the beautiful woman realized there was someone nearby. She turned around and replied softly. "Yes, Big sis. I guess I will have to give up for the time being."

This woman possessed a countenance that could be described as flawless. Her eyes were extremely gentle that could make anyone feel at ease under her gaze. Her body exuded an innate noble. Each movement of hers was elegant to the extreme.

Her long, lustered black hair gently swayed by a gentle breeze, making her look incredibly charming. Her long creamy robe was fluttering backward slightly, revealing the outline of her figure that could easily bring any man's blood to the boiling point.

At this moment, she turned her gaze on Yun Lintian and asked. "This young man is…."

Yun Lintian hurriedly cupped his fists and greeted. "Greetings, Senior Sister Xuexue. My name is Yun Lintian. I just joined the Moonlight Hall today. Please take care of me from now on."

The beautiful woman covered her mouth and laughed elegantly. "It seems our junior brother is quite bold. He just called me by my nickname the first time we met."

Yun Lintian suddenly realized he was a bit rude by calling her like that without asking for permission.

Before Yun Lintian could make an apology, Jiang Yingyue spoke first. "Her name is Murong Xue. She's your second senior sister. Including me, there are five of us here. In other words, you will have five senior sisters."

Yun Lintian was taken aback slightly and slowly nodded his head while thinking… First, Jiang Yingyue and now Murong Xue. Is Lin Zixuan choosing her disciples according to the beauty of their names?

Murong Xue could see Yun Lintian's awkwardness. She smiled faintly and beckoned him to walk toward her. "Come, let me take a good look at you closely."

Yun Lintian hesitated briefly and walked toward her after seeing Jiang Yingyue nod her head.

As Yun Lintian walked toward Murong Xue, he suddenly noticed the surrounding scenery had changed entirely from the bamboo forest earlier to a beautiful garden brimming with vitality. There were a bunch of flowerbeds everywhere. Countless bees and butterflies could be seen dancing around them. The atmosphere in this place made Yun Lintian want to lie down and do nothing for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, Yun Lintian's soul shook slightly, bringing him back to his sense. He immediately realized this place was an illusion — a high-level illusion that he had never encountered before. 

Yun Lintian didn't hesitate to open Eyes of Heaven. Instantaneously, the scenery in front of him became transparent, and he could see Murong Xue stand closer to him. She was so close to the point she could end his life with just a wave of her hand.

"This welcome gift is a bit dangerous. Don't you think so, Second Sister Xue?" Yun Lintian stared straight into Murong Xue's eyes. The golden sheen in his eyes flickered slightly as if he wanted to tell her not to mess around further.

A trace of surprise appeared in Murong Xue's eyes. She smiled gently and retracted her aura. "No wonder Master is interested in you… Don't be angry, alright? I'll give this brush to you as compensation." Following that, she handed the long brush she used earlier to Yun Lintian.

Of course, Yun Lintian wasn't angry as he didn't feel any malice in her attack. He received the seemingly ordinary brush and used Eyes of Heaven to check on it. However, no matter what, Yun Lintian didn't find any particular feature on it, which made him confused a bit.

"You don't have to look at it that much. It's indeed a normal brush." Murong Xue laughed gently.

Yun Lintian was rendered speechless but still politely said. "Thank you, Second sister." He then stored it away in his interspatial ring.

"Do you see the leftmost hut? That will be your residence from now on." Jiang Yingyue had unknowingly appeared beside Yun Lintian and pointed at the dilapidated bamboo hut at the edge of a small stream.

Yun Lintian followed her sight and was startled for a moment because that bamboo hut was definitely not suitable to live in. He believed it would definitely crumble if there was a slightly strong wind passing by.

"Don't worry. It won't collapse easily… As long as you didn't move too much." Murong Xue said with a gentle smile. Her expression was heartfelt, to the point Yun Lintian wasn't sure whether she was joking or serious.

Yun Lintian took a deep breath and turned to Jiang Yingyue. "Thank you, Big Sister Yingyue… By the way, where are other senior sisters?"

"Them?" It was Murong Xue who answered first. "Your third sister is probably finding someone to fight with right now. Your fourth sister is a money fan. She's probably opening a betting table somewhere in the academy currently. As for your fifth sister, that sleepyhead girl is currently sleeping in her house right there." She then pointed at the small bamboo hut nearby Yun Lintian's one.
