Today I just want to post with the little junior sister who is passing by.

Chapter 39 “If I didn’t find a dance partner early” (4069 words)
  Wen Yu had no intention of staying here. With a smile on her face, she passed by Jiang Qiao.

Wen Yu used magic to fold a paper crane and flew it into Jiang Qiao's hand.

Open the paper, there are a few lines of text inside:
  [I originally wanted to say it in person, but I was still too nervous, so I decided to use the paper crane method. I am Wenyu, a disciple of Yaogu. There will be a phoenix dance celebration ceremony in three days. Are you willing to be my dance partner? If you want, can you come to Yaogu to find me later? In addition, the girl next to you is very cute, so she may not be your Taoist companion. ]
  Jiang Qiao didn't know what the Phoenix Celebration Ceremony was. Maybe it was a new plot point, similar to exploring a secret realm.

And, the last sentence on the paper seems to have a profound meaning.

Mu Chenyuan, who was standing next to Jiang Qiao, turned away. She didn't want to accidentally scan the content written on the paper crane. It would be too offensive. It was written by a senior sister to Jiang Qiao. If it is some private content, wouldn't it be...

Mu Chenyuan didn't even notice Wen Yu's burning eyes as he walked by.

After Jiang Qiao saw the paper cranes, he asked Mu Chenyuan, "Do you know what the Phoenix celebration ceremony is?"

Mu Chenyuan raised his head with some confusion and stared into Jiang Qiao's eyes with a look of disbelief on his face, "Why don't you know this? Isn't it something every disciple should understand?"

A red oil-paper umbrella moved slowly from the room to the corridor of the dining hall. Jiang Qiao put away the umbrella and gently shook off the white snow gathered on the umbrella.

Because there were two people holding the umbrella, Jiang Qiao had to take care of some of the girls. The umbrella basically covered Mu Chenyuan's whole body, but half of his shoulders were not completely covered by the umbrella.

As he entered the house, he asked: "Maybe I didn't pay attention to these before."

Having said that, the original owner's memory is also limited, and he cannot fully understand the rules within the sect.

Mu Chenyuan sighed, "I'll tell you about the Phoenix celebration ceremony after I finish buying food."

"Yeah." Jiang Qiao nodded.

Two drawers of egg rice rolls and two bowls of preserved egg porridge are ready.

Jiang Qiao put the rice rolls into his mouth while listening to Mu Chenyuan's story.

The phoenix celebration ceremony was originally an auspicious sign that people in ancient times celebrated the arrival of the phoenix, so they danced and played music in anticipation of the arrival of the phoenix.

On the day of the Phoenix Dance, all disciples must wear phoenix masks. This is the only time the sect is allowed to wear masks. However, they must go through a complicated identity check before entering the venue and dancing with their partners.

Jiang Qiao swallowed a mouthful of preserved egg porridge and asked: "So, can we see the phoenix during the phoenix ceremony?"

"Generally speaking, you can't see it. Now the phoenix is ​​just a legend." Mu Chenyuan held his head with his right hand and held rice rolls in his left hand. "Now it is ordinary, similar to a ceremony to have the opportunity to become a Taoist monk."

"what?"

“I heard that as long as the partners dance together in the Phoenix Ceremony, they will easily stay together. This is a very beautiful meaning.

"Recently, some disciples have been thinking about finding a dance partner. Does the senior sister you met just now also want to ask you to be her dance partner? You didn't understand, so you came to ask me, right?"

After Mu Chenyuan said this, he suddenly felt extremely salty and bitter while eating the preserved egg.

"really."

Jiang Qiao immediately understood Wen Yu's invitation, and he would definitely not dance with Wen Yu.

When he met Wenyu just now, his favorability did not increase and the system was silent. He did not really understand Wenyu's rules.

And I don’t know Wenyu’s realm.

Since she is probably from the Demon Sect, there must be very little information about her within the sect, so why not...

Jiang Qiao was meditating on the side, while Mu Chenyuan always felt depressed inside, as if something had suppressed the beating of his heart.

Then, she asked: "Then will you promise her about the dance partner?"

"of course not."

Jiang Qiao shook his head. There would be no good outcome for tying the yandere heroine to death. As a dance partner, if Wenyu is not Mu Qinggan's routine, a dance will probably increase his favorability.

Mu Qinggan kills people with a favorability of 90, but Wen Yu doesn't know the upper limit at the moment. At least the current favorability of 30 is still safe.

Mu Chenyuan dug out a little bit of rice porridge with a spoon, put it into her mouth and chewed it carelessly. She suddenly lost her appetite.

"Senior Brother Jiang, anyway, everyone in the sect must participate in the Phoenix Ceremony. There is actually a difference in the number of men and women in the sect. There are fewer female disciples than male disciples, so..."

Mu Chenyuan felt a little guilty when she said this, and clenched her hands involuntarily, "If we don't find a dance partner early, we will have to dance alone with male disciples..."

"So, I want to ask you..."

Just as Mu Chenyuan was mid-sentence, she was interrupted by Peng's loud noise, and her whole body trembled twice.

Jiang Qiao also heard the loud noise and looked up to see three male disciples.

"You are Jiang Qiao, right?" A burly male disciple said with a slightly rich voice, a bit threatening in his tone.

Jiang Qiao shook his head. These three male disciples looked familiar to him. They seemed to be the three who teamed up with Mu Qinggan when exploring the secret realm.

The person who is obviously looking for trouble should deny it first.

"I'm not Jiang Qiao."

"Nonsense, you are obviously the one. You were the last one to leave the teleportation formation, and you were wearing the uniform of the Lingxiao Sect. Even if you turned into ashes, I would recognize you!"

Jiang Qiao was speechless. There was no point in starting with a question.

The strong man asked with a loud voice: "Where's Senior Sister Mu, was she taken away by you at that time?"

"? What, what's wrong, Senior Sister Mu? I don't understand what you are talking about."

The strong man suddenly held Jiang Qiao's sleeves, trying to put further pressure on Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao quickly broke away from the strong man and used his chopsticks to pin the strong man's hand on the table.

"We don't know each other at all. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to be so aggressive right from the beginning. The sect allows sparring, but fighting is prohibited. Do you want to be locked up in the confinement building?

"Tell me what you want from me."

The strong man reluctantly took his hand out of the chopsticks. He wanted to punch Jiang Qiao again, but fortunately, he was held down by the other two male disciples.

One of the tall and thin male disciples said: "I told you to stop being impulsive. Rough methods won't work until you understand the matter clearly."

The thin disciple quickly gave Jiang Qiao a smile and said, "Gao Geng has no sense of propriety. My name is Mi Hu. I am both a disciple of Yaogu. I explored the secret realm and teamed up with Senior Sister Mu. Who would have thought that Senior Sister Mu would later He was taken away by a Lingxiao Sect disciple and disappeared..."

Mihu paused deliberately for a while and did not continue speaking. Instead, he observed Jiang Qiao's reaction.

Seeing that there was no fear or panic on Jiang Qiao's face, Mihu continued: "Furthermore, when fellow Daoist Jiang returned to the sect, he was indeed wearing the robe of the Lingxiao sect and was covered in blood, so he was suspicious..."

Jiang Qiao said calmly: "According to your opinion, Senior Sister Mu was taken away by a Lingxiao Sect disciple, and then she couldn't be contacted?"

"That's it."

"But what does this have to do with me? I was covered in blood because I was injured. My clothes were damaged only because I was fighting with others, so I took off a Lingxiao Sect uniform and wore it. The Lingxiao Sect's uniform is indeed better than the Canglan Sect's uniform. High durability.

"Since you talked about the disciples of the Lingxiao Sect, did you see the appearance of the disciple of the Lingxiao Sect clearly at that time?" Mihu thought thoughtfully: "At that time, I only saw a white sect uniform. As for the appearance of the face, I only saw one side. Almost exactly the same as you, Daoyou Jiang."

"That's not true." Jiang Qiao was speechless. It was normal for Jiang Dong to look like his two brothers. It would be too much to say that they were exactly the same.

Unless, these words are just testing your own attitude.

"Ah, no, it's not exactly the same. At most, it's slightly similar, but it doesn't seem to be very similar. I can't remember it clearly."

Seeing that Jiang Qiao's expression was normal, Mihu had nothing to ask. He was too far away from the Lingxiao Sect disciple at that time and could not tell the truth. If he wanted to slander a person just because of these trivial coincidences, that would be too much.

After all, when the three of them learned that Mu Qinggan had not returned to the sect, they became angry, made groundless speculations, and acted out of emotion. Moreover, there were recent rumors that Jiang Qiao was called a "murderer", so...

Thinking of this, Mihu was a little annoyed. If he hadn't been far away at that time and couldn't hear the conversation between Mu Qinggan and the Lingxiao Sect disciple, he would definitely know the whole story of Senior Sister Mu's matter.

At this moment, Gao Geng said angrily: "Didn't we agree at the beginning that we should give him a beating first and see how things go? If I was really wrong, I would at most apologize and go to the confinement building!"

Mihu had no choice but to be able to beat him. The key was that people could hold down Gao Geng's hand with chopsticks. I'm afraid the three of them were far less powerful than Jiang Qiao.

"Gao Geng, I think he is not." Mihu shook his head. He did not want to wrongly accuse a good person, and outside the protected area of ​​the secret realm sect, he should bear the consequences of success and failure.

Unfortunately, during this exploration of the secret realm, their group was the one that captured the most tail jelly grass and came out on top. But the joy of success can no longer be shared with Senior Sister Mu.

Gao Geng glared at Jiang Qiao fiercely. He was about to swing his fist at Jiang Qiao, but was pulled away by his other two companions.

Mu Chenyuan woke up from her panic and said, "They will definitely make trouble for you in the future."

"It doesn't matter, I'm innocent anyway."

Jiang Qiao looked calm, and he quickly changed the subject, "I remember if the Treasure Club has a library, can you take me to see it when you have time?"

"That place, you have to apply to the president, but you can ask, what are you doing there?"

Mu Chenyuan understood the character of the President of the Treasure Society very well. The books collected in the library were the President's treasures and would not be easily seen by anyone.

"I want to find some books about the Demon Sect."

Jiangqiao Road.

Everyone in the sect hates the word Demon Sect and is afraid to mention it. Jiang Qiao searched for a long time in the Canglan Sect's library and found very little information about Demon Sect.

The disciples are just afraid of the Demon Sect. They don't know the specific reason, but they just say that it has been like this since ancient times.

Li Wentian had not discussed the Demon Sect with him in detail before, but it was obvious that he was an insider.

What exactly happened in the Demon Sect? If Wen Yu's identity and status in the Demon Sect could be known by the way, the possibility of breaking the situation would be greater.

"You should go to the president yourself about this matter. I'm just a handyman and can't help you with anything. By the way, if you've never met the president before, it's time to go and meet him."

Mu Chenyuan drank her porridge. Now that she was asked to say it again, she actually lost her courage.

After Mu Chenyuan drank the long-cooled porridge in one gulp, he said to Jiang Qiao again: "Senior Brother Jiang, I think..."

The words came to my lips, but they still stuck.

"What are you thinking about? Are you asking me where to go next?"

Jiang Qiao finished his meal and there was no lecture in the afternoon. It was time for him to go find the sect leader.

Previously, he refused to be accepted as a direct disciple by the sect leader because of Mu Qinggan. Now that the crisis was over, he certainly couldn't refuse the opportunity to become stronger.

However, once he is accepted as a disciple by the sect leader, he will no longer have to attend lectures. Mu Chenyuan will still stay at Zhaixingya, and the effect of the amulet will disappear.

"Speaking of which, Junior Sister Mu, have you ever thought about practicing hard and no longer being a bastard in Zhaixingya?"

"Huh?" Mu Chenyuan was stunned, "So, you always thought that I was a bastard in Zhaixingya.

"That's not the case. I have been practicing well."

"Ah, right, right, so Junior Sister Mu is still a qi practitioner and sneaks snacks in class."

"I really practiced well!!!"

It seems that expecting Mu Chenyuan to be accepted as a direct disciple by the sect leader is just an extravagant hope.

Faced with the 50% probability of avoiding danger and becoming stronger, Jiang Qiao naturally gave priority to becoming stronger. No matter how bad it is, he should first become the sect master's personal disciple, and then let Mu Chenyuan also become the sect master's personal disciple.

Hedging is ultimately passive, but only by becoming stronger can you take the initiative to control the situation.

Jiang Qiao said: "I will go to the sect master later. Do you want to go with me?"

"Okay, okay." Mu Chenyuan thought, if she didn't go with Jiang Qiao, she would go back to the cave to study her snacks.

You might as well go for a walk.

In winter in the sect master's mansion, white snow is pressing down on the bamboo leaves.

Occasionally the leaves become overloaded and rebound after shaking off the accumulated white snow.

By coincidence, it hit Mu Chenyuan's face. Mu Chenyuan closed her eyes and shook her head violently the moment the snow fell on her face.

Jiang Qiao was always obsessed with the little fur ball on Mu Chenyuan's head, and occasionally wanted to touch it.

"Are you waiting for me outside, or do you want to go in together?" Jiang Qiao stood outside the lobby where the sect leader usually handles affairs, looking at the golden plaque on the building, Qinxue Hall.

Mu Chenyuan shook his head, "Just go in."

Jiang Qiao knocked on the door and entered the hall after getting permission from the sect leader.

It seems that the sect master has been very busy recently. There are piles of backlogged affairs listed on her desk, and she can't even finish them.

The sect leader raised his head and glanced at Jiang Qiao, then continued to draw with his brush.

"It's Jiang Qiao, why did you come to see me?"

"Sect Master, I want to become your personal disciple."

Jiang Qiao fell to his knees on the ground with a bang, looking at the sect master with firm eyes.

The sect leader smiled, placed the brush on the smoke and inkstone table again, stood up, and came to Jiang Qiao.

"Didn't you reject me before? You have to know that in this world, once you reject me, it will be difficult to turn back.

"Tell me, how did you suddenly change your mind?"
