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

Chapter 29: Coercion and Temptation

Su Yurong's persuasion, as expected, ended in failure.

Even though there was a senior elder from the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace's Tianxing Hall behind her, and even though she offered what she believed to be sincere conditions, Qin Muling's reaction remained indifferent.

The secret conversation lasted less than half a moment. When Su Yurong walked out of the courtyard with a gloomy expression, the surrounding spies, whether overt or covert, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although everyone knew that as the closed-door disciple of the Supreme Sect's Sect Master, Qin Muling couldn't be easily swayed, it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Soon, someone else bravely attempted again. A beautifully mounted formal invitation was passed through several hands and finally placed in front of Qin Muling after being inspected by several elders.

"...Junior Brother, you must remember that you should not casually touch anything with an unknown origin, in case it's a trap."

In the study, Xue Bingxuan's fair and jade-like hand gently unfolded in front of Qin Muling. As she silently operated her profound technique, a layer of thin and smooth spiritual barrier quietly formed, enveloping her hand, before she picked up the invitation.

The vast and boundless Extreme Void Starry Sky was filled with various mysterious divine abilities and spells. Methods like using an object as a medium to secretly harm others were not uncommon. One careless move could result in falling into a trap.

If the schemer's methods were clever enough, as long as Qin Muling dared to directly touch the invitation, even if it was just a trace of breath captured by it, it could lead to the leakage of many of his own secret information. In more serious cases, he could encounter malicious and bizarre witchcraft curses, which would be extremely harmful.

"What Senior Sister said is true."

Qin Muling watched as Senior Sister demonstrated, and after trying it a few times himself, he mastered this highly practical little spell to a satisfactory level.

Although it didn't have much offensive power, it required extremely high control and manipulation of spiritual power. Even with the qualities of a core disciple, one would have to put in a lot of effort to be able to use it freely.

The owner of the invitation was core disciple Long Xin. Her request was the same as that of the inner sect elder Su Yurong, which was to have a private meeting with Qin Muling to discuss certain matters.

"Although it's just a meeting to exchange a few words, it seems that our Junior Brother is too cheap if he agrees so easily."

Luo Wanqing said with a smile. At this moment, she was wearing a gorgeous fiery red palace dress, outlining her hot and enchanting figure. Her facial features were exquisite and flawless, emitting a fiery and seductive aura. Her fair little hand intentionally or unintentionally rubbed against Qin Muling.

"Well... what do you think would be appropriate?"

Qi Yalan frowned and stared at her actions. This girl used to always wear armor and no makeup. Since Qin Muling arrived, she changed her personality and started to dress up carefully. It's clear that she's doing it on purpose.

Unfortunately, Third Senior Sister's face was still a bit tender, so she couldn't imitate her. She could only watch as Luo Wanqing shamelessly flirted with Junior Brother.

"If they want to meet Junior Brother, they should show some sincerity. The cost of each visit is 500 High Grade Spirit Stones, or an equivalent value of pill resources. Since they all have backgrounds and connections, they shouldn't be lacking in these benefits." Luo Wanqing said seriously.

"Very well, I have no objections." Xue Bingxuan immediately agreed.

"Then let's do it this way."

Qin Muling thought for a moment and felt that he had no reason to refuse. No one would complain about having more resources.

Five hundred High Grade spirit stones is not a small amount. If Qin Muling has enough influence, he could accumulate a lot of benefits through this method. It is currently difficult to estimate.

Sure enough, after the news was released, the number of people wanting to meet Qin Muling did not decrease.

Early the next day.

In the elegant and quiet study, Long Xin finally met Qin Muling as she had wished.

"It's no wonder you are a rising star in the sect. You really have a good appearance, surpassing those arrogant young talents..."

Long Xin looked at him with a complicated expression. Thinking about the instructions from the important person behind her, she couldn't help but feel a headache.

Someone like Qin Muling, with deep celestial favor and great fortune, must have a clear mind and be difficult to deceive. Moreover, even if he himself might make mistakes due to his youth and lack of experience, the women around him would surely compete to remind and protect him in order to win his favor.

At this thought, a strong sense of jealousy and unwillingness arose in Long Xin's heart. Although she had no past grievances with Qin Muling and had no conflicts in the past, this is how human nature is.

To hate others and not be able to surpass them. This is an evil thought that most people are unwilling to admit in their hearts.

As long as the other party grows up, they are destined to be a remarkable figure in a great era, and the companions or followers around him will undoubtedly be unimaginably outstanding. As for Long Xin herself, unless miracles happen, it is impossible for her to have such a man as her partner.

"Sister Long Xin, you don't have much time, please get to the point!"

Qin Muling's tone was calm and fair. This young girl in front of him was also a quite outstanding beauty. In the previous life where he was a boxer who looked down upon the world, she would definitely be considered a high-value goddess. Many miserable men who had practiced the way of licking dogs to the extreme would probably not even have a chance to lick when facing such a dream goddess.

However, this level of goods is nothing in front of several senior sisters, so Qin Muling's heart remained calm, and there were still many people waiting outside.

Long Xin gritted her teeth and suppressed all the evil thoughts in her heart. A gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face. "Junior Brother Qin, I come with the good intentions of Elder Leyi. I believe you have heard of her reputation and qualifications in the sect. Compared to the Supreme Sect Master, she is actually more suitable to be your teacher and guide, don't you think?"

Qin Muling raised an eyebrow. This Elder Leyi was indeed not an ordinary person. She belonged to the same era as Elder Hengyi and was known for her powerful cultivation. Compared to Elder Hengyi, who was not good at fighting and killing, her position in the sect was indeed higher.

Of course, Elder Leyi did not belong to the faction of Sect Master Mu Yinghua. The two sides had always been in competition, constantly fighting in the open and in secret. So when this important person learned about Qin Muling's existence, it was only natural for her to send her disciples to undermine his position.

"Younger Junior Brother, although the influence of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace has declined, there are still many powerful factions within the sect that support the sky of the sect. Among them, the faction of Sect Master Mu Yinghua does not have any obvious advantages. She was able to obtain the position of Sect Master because of a combination of luck and the balance and compromise between various forces."

"Younger Junior Brother, since you have the opportunity to reach the peak and achieve the position of a saint, you naturally have to make the choice that best suits your own interests. What do you think?"

As she spoke, Long Xin took out a long-necked jade bottle and a purple jade long sword with a faint cloud and mist surrounding it, placing them in front of Qin Muling with great care.

"A Xuanqing Zao Hua True Spirit Pill and a genuine ancient Spiritual Treasure. Shouldn't this sincerity be enough? What do you think?"

Qin Muling: "..."
