Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 25: Luo Wanqing

Back in the city, Qi Yalan still arranged for Qin Muling to live in the senior sister's courtyard, and no one was allowed to have close contact with him without permission.

In other words, besides these two senior sisters and a few trusted followers around them, no one else had the opportunity to be alone with Qin Muling. This naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people with ulterior motives, but there was no immediate solution.

According to convention, Qin Muling would naturally go into seclusion next. The reason why it is called convention is because most low-level cultivators do so. After each experience of fighting and killing, they would always close their doors and cultivate in seclusion for a period of time, healing and recovering, digesting their experiences and insights, and adjusting their mindset to prepare for the next encounter with fate.

Of course, this time, Xue Bingxuan replaced the senior sister who practiced in the same room as Qin Muling. The official explanation was that the junior brother had accidentally injured himself during his training and needed her help in healing and recovery. Whether others believed it or had any thoughts about it was not important.

Only Qi Yalan knew in her heart that both she and the senior sister had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation. Their accumulated efforts in their usual cultivation were already sufficient. They only needed a suitable opportunity to break through the thin barrier and step into a completely new realm.

At that time, not only would Qi Yalan's status rise, but Xue Bingxuan's advantage in competing for the position of the next sect leader would become more apparent, further widening the gap between them and the other competitors.

Therefore, Qin Muling's innate understanding of the Dao and his terrifying luck became indispensable assistance for them. This was a crucial opportunity that could not be replaced by any resources at this stage, and there was absolutely no reason to waste it.

Three days later, the sky in the south of the city suddenly became dyed red by a sudden burst of ten thousand feet of rosy light, and the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

"It's Lord Luo returning!"

The elder disciples on duty exclaimed with joy. Since the city lord went out alone to kill demons at the beginning of last month, it had been over a month. The time was indeed long enough to make the elders who stayed behind worried. Now they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After a few breaths, the dazzling rosy light gradually subsided, and a majestic red sun descended, faintly echoing with a ancient and desolate roar. The heat was overwhelming, and within it, a slender and graceful figure appeared vaguely.

"Wanqing, I finally waited for you!"

In the distance, a bright sword rainbow descended rapidly, and Qi Yalan emerged from the sword light, meeting the woman in the rising sun.

The bright red tight armor outlined her fiery curves, her fair skin glowing with a delicate radiance. Her eyebrows and eyes were stunningly beautiful, exuding youthful vitality and vigor, as well as a sense of ancient grandeur and majesty. She was fierce, intense, and had an indomitable fighting spirit that challenged the heavens.

The moment she saw her, an intense and substantial sense of fierceness rushed towards her, and her powerful aura made those with lower cultivation dare not look directly at her.

This female cultivator was Qi Yalan's junior sister, the fourth disciple of the Supreme Sect's sect leader: Luo Wanqing. It was rumored that she came from an ancient and profound witch clan in a country with a long heritage, and she had pure ancient witch god bloodline. Therefore, it was only natural for her to choose the path of body cultivation. She was the top melee fighter among the new generation disciples of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and ordinary talented body cultivators were nothing compared to her.

Seeing Qi Yalan appear, Luo Wanqing nodded, and a hint of smile appeared on her tense face. "It has been quite a while since I went out this time, but with you all here, there is nothing to worry about. By the way, where is our junior brother?"

The last sentence was communicated through divine sense, obviously she also understood that it was a matter of great importance and not suitable to be discussed in front of outsiders.

"Junior brother Qin is in seclusion for cultivation. Senior sister is taking care of him, so there shouldn't be any problems. I estimate that he should be coming out soon. Let's go over there now."

"Very well, I hope he won't disappoint me! After receiving the message from the sect leader last time, I went out several times and went through a lot of trouble to prepare a decent gift for our meeting!"

"Don't worry, our junior brother will definitely satisfy you. Otherwise, why would the sect leader value him so much?"

"Well, that's the reason. Both of you have tried it and think it's good, so it must be excellent."

"Alright, let's go and wait. It's a pity that Second Senior Sister hasn't come out of seclusion yet. It's really frustrating. The four of us won't be able to withstand the pressure from those crazy women if we don't work together."

Qi Yalan responded calmly with divine thoughts, while Luo Wanqing nodded silently and exchanged some pleasantries with the elder disciples who had gathered around. Then they hurriedly left, using rest as an excuse.

In a luxurious mansion adjacent to the City Lord's Mansion, the guards were loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Inside the courtyard's pavilion, a group of veiled female cultivators sat around a round table.

The spirit wine and exquisite fruits and pastries on the table were obviously prepared with great care by the host of this gathering. However, everyone's thoughts were not focused on these things at the moment.

The meeting had been going on for some time. The female cultivators exchanged and summarized the information they had gathered, and then entered the stage of discussing and making decisions.

"...I still don't understand what they are up to."

A young woman in a colorful dress frowned and said, "Even if that Qin Muling is really a descendant of an elder and has gained the favor of the Supreme Sect Master, is it worth their obsession?"

"...Exactly! Even if there is a special relationship due to being taught by the same master, it's still going too far!" another elegant female cultivator echoed.

A male disciple who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, with average cultivation and unknown talent, was able to make the Senior Sisters look at him differently. This in itself was suspicious.

"...Who said it wasn't? They usually hide in the courtyard and never go out, even when cultivating in seclusion, they have to be together. Those who don't know the truth would think they are Dao companions! It's simply shameless! She has tarnished the face of the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's Holy Maiden!" a sharp-eyed, tall and plump female cultivator said angrily.

"Arrogant and domineering..."

"Lacking in integrity..."

"Lacking self-respect..."

The female cultivators discussed indignantly. Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan's overbearing actions undoubtedly offended many people. Not to mention the core disciples of other factions within the sect, even the disciples of the same sect had their grievances.

However, Xue Bingxuan had the token bestowed by the Sect Master and her own formidable cultivation. The other core disciples had no good way to deal with her, no matter how unwilling they were. Moreover, at this stage, it was not appropriate to rashly involve the high-level elders behind the scenes.

"I think we urgently need to figure out two things," a core disciple named Long Xin said in a deep voice. "First, what secrets does Junior Brother Qin Muling have? Second, how important is his potential value? Is it worth us fighting for at all costs?"

The female cultivators nodded one after another. These two questions could actually be summarized into one: Qin Muling must have extraordinary talents, otherwise, how could Xue Bingxuan and Qi Yalan, who always held themselves high, care so much about him?

It was known that City Lord Luo Wanqing had gone straight to Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan's residence without any hesitation after returning. The reason for this was self-evident.

It could only be said that the Sect Master Mu Yinghua was too biased, prioritizing the care of her own disciples over the overall situation of the sect, which made them unable to accept it.
