Chapter 6 Girl
"Xu Nian, are you still going to the recruitment ceremony? We menial disciples shouldn't even dream about it. Those who had a chance to get in have already been selected."
While fetching water in the morning, the servant disciples gathered in twos and threes to discuss something.
The Sword Sect holds a grand ceremony every ten years.
During each grand ceremony, towns within a hundred miles of the Sword Sect, and even some mortal dynasties, would send people to participate.
However, most of these arrangements are made in advance.
To be able to enter a sect, one must have already entered beforehand.
They don't need to do menial tasks like Xu Nian.
Those who can get here are all children from poor families with no background.
I'm just here to try my luck.
Some disciples even came here simply hoping to have enough to eat and wear.
We don't need to eat the food from home.
Sometimes, if they're lucky, they can get some reward money, which they can send back home to help support themselves.
There are actually very few people who truly believe they can enter a sect.
People like Xu Nian, on the contrary, become special.
"It's worth a try for Xu Nian, haha. After all, she's good-looking. If a senior sister takes a liking to her, she might be taken back to the mountain to be a junior brother."
"Haha, that makes sense. Xu Nian, don't forget about your brothers when the time comes."
As the group was talking, suddenly their hair stood on end.
It felt like being watched by a terrifying beast.
I have a strange feeling of danger.
It's like walking in the woods at night and seeing a lone wolf wandering around.
Its eyes glowed with a ghostly green light as it stared at me.
It was as if I were prey being scrutinized.
The group shuddered.
He quickly looked around and dared not continue joking.
"This place feels so creepy. Let's hurry back after we get the water."
"I...I also feel very dangerous, and I'm a little panicked."
The men's faces turned pale.
He dared not tease Xu Nian anymore.
He hurriedly left with the water.
Xu Nian glanced at the group of people with some confusion.
Is it a little creepy?
Why didn't I feel it?
This is just an ordinary riverbank.
"Junior Brother Qinghuan, do you also feel the creeps?"
"No." Wu Qinghuan shook her head, her expression blank.
After fetching water, the two brothers walked towards the small wooden house.
Upon arriving nearby, they suddenly noticed several figures standing not far away.
The leader was dressed in a purple robe.
Long hair flowing.
Charming and lovely.
It was Shangguan Ling, who had come looking for trouble not long ago.
Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan approached each other.
Upon seeing this person, Shangguan Ling also saw the two of them.
The girl's lips twitched.
His face looked a little ugly.
But he forcibly suppressed it, saying, "The Sword Sect's recruitment ceremony will be held in half an hour. Disciples who are participating in the assessment should gather here, and I will take you there."
Logically speaking, she, as the granddaughter of Elder Dantang, should have a noble status.
They are not responsible for such matters.
Rather than saying that Shangguan Ling came to escort all the disciples who participated in the assessment to the main peak, it's more accurate to say that Shangguan Ling came to escort them to the main peak.
Rather, she was there to see Xu Nian off.
I'll also give some to the other people.
Just like before, Shangguan Ling was still very depressed to see the two of them together.
But unlike before, she didn't do much this time.
His expression was somewhat gloomy, but he didn't continue targeting Wu Qinghuan.
Before long, the servant disciples had all assembled.
Shangguan Ling made a hand seal.
The small sword at his waist rapidly grew larger, transforming in the blink of an eye into a sword boat large enough to carry twenty people.
The many servant disciples exclaimed in surprise.
The children in the small village at the foot of the mountain had never seen such divine magic.
Shangguan Ling's lips curled up, seemingly very satisfied with everyone's reaction.
But when she saw Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan, she was stunned for a moment.
How come these two guys are so calm?
Shouldn't an ordinary person who has never seen such a magical artifact be extremely shocked at this moment?
Somewhat disappointed.
But I didn't pay much attention to it.
He urged everyone to mount their swords, and then Shangguan Ling rode away on her sword.
They flew towards the main peak.
Along the way, we flew over several mountain peaks shrouded in clouds and mist.
As they approached the main peak, Xu Nian's gaze fell upon a small hill to the south.
His gaze softened.
That was the lineage I had joined in my previous life.
Qingyue Zhenren.
My master treats me very well.
Several senior female students also took great care of me.
Although their personalities are somewhat eccentric, they absolutely love each other.
Suddenly, Xu Nian seemed to realize something.
He turned and glanced at Wu Qinghuan.
Poor junior brother seems to dislike everyone right now, but once he gets to the mountain, he'll probably be greatly influenced by everyone's care and love.
It's too difficult to influence someone on your own.
But if the master and senior sisters work together to influence them.
I believe that Wu Qinghuan will be corrected soon.
Those dark aspects of one's personality hidden deep within will also disappear.
It seemed that he had noticed Xu Nian's gaze.
Wu Qinghuan turned her face away without showing any emotion.
The small ears gradually began to turn red.
His face remained expressionless, devoid of joy or sorrow, like a piece of wood devoid of emotion.
He sat there cross-legged, his back straight like a sword.
With eyes closed, completely still.
Suddenly, Wu Qinghuan's body stiffened, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
He looked to the side in astonishment.
He noticed that Xu Nian had sat down next to him at some point.
A large hand rested on his back.
Through the thin robe, one could even feel the warmth of his hands.
Wu Qinghuan seemed to be frozen in place.
His voice became strained, "No..."
He seemed to want to avoid it.
But it also seems like I'm torn.
It seems like this feeling... isn't bad?
Xu Nian found Wu Qinghuan's reaction amusing. "I think you're a bit too nervous. There's no need for that. Relax. We'll definitely be chosen by the elders and become fellow disciples in the same lineage."
Wu Qinghuan pursed her lips.
Her beautiful eyes sparkled.
He seemed to want to say something.
Without making a sound, he moved his body and slowly pulled away from Xu Nian's hand.
But just as he slipped away, Xu Nian grabbed his shoulder again.
As a result, Wu Qinghuan's body became even harder.
His eyes began to look vacant, as if his mind had gone blank.
"Don't move around. It's dangerous up there. If you fall, you're dead!" Xu Nian warned.
You should know that Shangguan Ling, this spoiled and wicked senior sister, is very hostile towards Wu Qinghuan.
If he were to let Wu Qinghuan fall while he wasn't paying attention...
He died from an accidental fall.
It is not impossible.
I need to get her closer to me.
but…
Why is my junior brother's frame so small?
Much, much smaller than myself.
Even compared to some of his peers, his frame is too small.
She really looks like a young girl.
Xu Nian found it somewhat intriguing.
My junior brother not only has a very small frame, but also great skin and good looks.
With your appearance, how are the senior and junior sisters in the sect supposed to live?
Xu Nian didn't notice at all.
Wu Qinghuan's ears were red, and her cheeks were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
Like having a fever.
My head was buzzing, and steam kept floating out.
I'm delirious with fever...
