Chapter 239: 239. Grand Event of the Demon Sect

Lu Xun looked at Ji Li who was holding up a piece of soft armor, covering her little face with it. He examined her from top to bottom.

Based on his judgment, he could tell at a glance that the armor was indeed a bit small. It’s not just a little small, it was extremely small.

But when you said that, have you considered how Mao Nanbei might feel?

Thankfully the little loli isn’t here, otherwise, her dizziness might worsen.

Lu Xun looked at Ji Li and said, “The current state of this armor is its basic form, intended for…cough, for average people.”

“But after all, it’s a superior magical weapon, with the basic operation being its ability to change size, so there’s no need to worry.”

“Oh…oh.” Ji Li put down the armor and hugged it tightly against her chest with both her hands. Her small face was flushed, making anyone want to pinch it.

She lowered her head which by blocking, only enabled her to see her own toes and said, “Lu Xun, you’ve been so good to me, I don’t know how to repay you. I have an idea, let me tell you what I think… Eh? Where did he go?”

Ji Li looked around the large waterfall, but there was no trace of Lu Xun.

Lu Xun had left on a paper crane while she was talking.

On the paper crane, he muttered to himself, “She just wants to repay me in kind, she sure dreams nice!”

As he spoke, he began to laugh.

After returning to the backyard, Lu Xun claimed Mao Nanbei’s large rattan chair and sprawled at the entrance of the Small Study.

He began to browse the forum.

Just as he had thought, the task he had set for the Demon Sect Players had become a depth charge within the forum, causing an explosion that set off massive waves!

Players started discussing whether the Purple Palace was the World Protagonist.

“I just said that the Purple Palace is the World Protagonist, right? He definitely has the face of a main character!”

“Does the person above not know that being ordinary is the trend now?”

“Is the person above stupid? When people claim to be ordinary, does it mean they’re really ordinary?”

“I’m so envious of the Demon Sect Players uwu ~ I also want to be a little witch ~”

“Beat the crying ghost above to death! Speaking of… apart from anything else, the World Protagonist has a different vibe, even the experience points given out by his tasks are higher than others.”

“Yes, since the game’s public beta, the quests we’ve all been receiving were still at the novice level, this is the first time I’ve seen the highest reward reaching 10,000 points.”

Of course, most of the comments are from envious Demon Sect Players.

“Jealousy is making me hideous!”

“Jealousy is making me split!”

“Jealousy is making me factorize!”

“Jealous…how do you guys have so many words!?”

Actually, based on the normal game plot, the characters like Ye Sui’an and Xiao Ran are only identified as the World Protagonists during the mid-game.

By that time, they have just made some progress. Now, they’re only at the second realm of being a cultivator.

As for Lu Xun’s darling disciple Little Chan, she began her cultivation a bit later than them, only a little behind in realm, but because she possesses a natural sword embryo, she’s not to be underestimated and, moreover, happens to have the upper hand against Ye Sui’an!

For Lu Xun to fake a World Protagonist identity at this point, the benefits are just too many!

He feels at ease about this because as the master of a World Protagonist if he rounds up he may as well consider himself the Protagonist; doesn’t that sound slick!?

As for the big guilds and professional clubs, as long as there are members in the Demon Sect, they will definitely hold a temporary meeting.

This position of the Sword-Serving Child, they’ve got their eyes on it!

Who would’ve thought the same faces from my past life are here in this life too… it’s a doomed fate!

“But when the Outer Sect Grand Competition comes, there should be quite a show.” Lu Xun sprawled lazily on the rattan chair, starting to look forward to the Outer Sect Grand Competition.

Fifteen days later, the day of the Outer Sect competition had begun.

During these fifteen days, the players of the Demon Sect were filled with fighting spirit, aiming high, with only one goal – to become a Sword-Serving Child under the Purple Palace!

In these fifteen days, the level of players had further improved. For many people, this Outer Sect competition was about their future career!

Starting from the morning, the Demon Sect was incredibly bustling, except for the back mountain.

The Outer Sect competition is a major event, not only is it important to the Sect itself, but other Sects also send people to attend.

This is a common phenomenon, and the Peak Masters of the Demon Sect occasionally go to visit other Sects as well.

The other two major Demon Sects would definitely send representatives, and at least it would be Elders or Peak Masters. The four major orthodox Sects would probably also send people.

If the new generation of Demon Sect’s Outer Disciples perform well, it would bring honor to the entire Sect. If they perform poorly, it would be humiliating.

As a courtesy, when other Sects give face to the Demon Sect, the back mountain of the Demon Sect, despite its special status, would also give some face in return.

However, having the teacher go in person was out of the question.

To the teacher, the Outer Sect competition was but a trivial matter, and he didn’t care about it at all.

So under normal circumstances, a disciple of the teacher would be sent to represent.

The second sister doesn’t like crowds, her personality is inherently cold, and due to her stutter, she avoids social interactions even more.

She is a real homebody Taoist Nun!

Lu Xun probably is the only one in the back mountain who likes to tease her and chat with her in his spare time.

So, before setting off, he ran to the bamboo forest to ask the second sister if she wanted to watch the competition. Only after making her stutter out a “No… No!” did he leave her alone.

Mao Nanbei likes to be part of the excitement, but this little girl is unpredictable. With her constantly saying “Old lady will chop off your head”, how can you depend on her?

So, under normal circumstances, the third senior brother used to take the lead, taking Mao Nanbei to watch the competition.

Aside from the third elder brother seeming a bit old-fashioned, having a rustic demeanor, rough skin, and being dark overall, he was virtually flawless for such occasions.

But since Lu Xun joined the back mountain, he naturally became the best candidate.

Although his seniority is shallow, he is good-looking!

Just standing there with that demeanor, one could tell at a glance that he was from a top-tier Sect.

Such a luxurious set-up!

As the representative image of the Demon Sect, if he doesn’t go, who will?

The third senior brother was relieved at this, finally, someone could take over his duty. Being so happy, he gave Lu Xun ten thousand Spirit Stones…

Of course, Mao Nanbei would definitely go along, but although Lu Xun is her junior brother, he could control her. Over time, she actually got used to being controlled by Lu Xun.

At first, she cared about her dignity as a senior sister, but the desserts this little junior brother made were just too delicious!

Before leaving, Lu Xun turned to Lin Chan and asked, “Little Chan, do you want to go?”

Lin Chan wasn’t usually comfortable with large crowds either, but she wanted to be with her master at all times…

So, after only two seconds of hesitation, she gently nodded.

Lu Xun smiled and said: “Don’t worry, just stay by my side obediently, you don’t need to do anything.”

In fact, Lu Xun was just going to watch the drama.

On the way, Lu Xun asked Mao Nanbei, “Fourth senior sister, who usually attends this kind of ceremony from the other major Sects?”

He was quite interested in these big shots of the Heavenly Dust Continent. After all, he didn’t have much contact with them when he was playing games in his previous life.

The three of them were riding on the same paper crane, with Mao Nanbei sitting in front of Lu Xun. She tilted her little head back to look at Lu Xun, both cat ears following her head backward, and opened her mouth to say:

“I’m not sure about the Elders who come to attend from the other major Sects, they are not always the same people. But I am sure that the nutjob from the Luotian Sect will come. It’s always her!”

“Oh, who is that?” Lu Xun seemed to have an idea who it might be.

Mao Nanbei said: “Who else could it be? The old flame of big senior brother from the Luotian Sect!”
