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

Chapter 40: Fighting

When the city lord summoned, the people below naturally did not dare to be negligent. In a short moment, the beautiful young girl was brought before Qin Muling.

"I greet Senior Qin," she slightly bent her knees and greeted with a hint of restraint. There was not much anxiety in her clear, bright eyes, but rather a sense of calmness.

Qin Muling nodded inwardly. His actual status was not much different from the senior sister, and this young girl was just a newly recruited outer disciple, not receiving much attention. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been assigned to temporarily serve as a dancer.

The difference in their identities and status was like heaven and earth, yet the other party remained composed and fearless. Standing there casually, she exuded an unwavering and stable aura. It was evident that someone with great potential must possess extraordinary qualities.

"What is your name?"

"Bai Qingyu."

"How old are your bones?"

"Fifteen years and nine months."

...

After a series of questions and answers, Qin Muling found that the results were better than he had imagined. This girl named Bai Qingyu came from a prominent family in a secular dynasty. Due to her intelligence, good looks, and some cultivation talent, she received attention from her family and was given resources for cultivation.

Superior sects like Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace would open their doors and select disciples to replenish their ranks every few years. At that time, all vassal sects, secular dynasties, and noble families within their sphere of influence would send their outstanding children to the sect for assessment. Only those who passed would obtain the identity of an outer disciple.

Although the identity of an outer disciple was low, it was the starting point for advancement. As long as one diligently cultivated and accumulated merits, they could gradually rise in rank. In history, there were many examples of outer disciples from certain super sects who obtained great opportunities, made significant progress in their cultivation, and eventually reached the position of the sect's leader.

Bai Qingyu became an outer disciple of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace last year after passing the assessment. However, she only barely passed, so the elder in charge did not pay much attention to her.

Under normal circumstances, such outer disciples would spend a few years mingling in the sect. Once they exceeded the age limit without breaking through to a higher realm and had no hope of promotion, they would return to their family, get married, and have children, still enjoying a lifetime of wealth and prosperity.

Obviously, the elders who selected disciples had made a mistake. Bai Qingyu had not yet experienced her lucky breakthrough, so she appeared ordinary. But when her luck flourished in the future and she showed her talents, she would undoubtedly surpass more than half of the core disciples in the sect and become one of the high-ranking members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace.

Finally, Qin Muling expressed his satisfaction, "Your innate talent is good. Senior Sister is currently in need of assistance. In the future, you will follow her in cultivation. How about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of the surrounding disciples and elders all turned towards them. Some female cultivators who were not proficient in cultivating their qi even had a slight change in their expressions.

Bai Qingyu's expression froze for a moment as she earnestly stared at the handsome young man in front of her. She never expected that this junior brother, who seemed younger than her, would dare to make such an important decision for Senior Sister after only asking a few questions.

Especially Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan, who was standing beside her, showed no displeasure and smiled as she looked over, "Junior Brother Qin's words are excellent. What do you think?"

Just now, the junior brother had already explained the reason to her with his divine sense. As someone aspiring to take the position of the next sect leader, she naturally wouldn't refuse a disciple with great luck who could become her support.

The mysterious connection of qi led Bai Qingyu to make up her mind in an instant. She once again bowed down gracefully, "This matter is up to Senior Sister to decide."

As soon as these words were spoken, in Qin Muling's observation of qi, a bright cloud light shone above Bai Qingyu's head. A large golden-purple luck descended and merged with her, radiating a hazy and dazzling light, increasing her luck by more than thirty percent.

Qin Muling smiled. This young girl indeed possessed innate wisdom and hidden blessings. She readily agreed without giving others a chance to question or oppose her.

With her own luck, the probability of her stepping into the Destiny Realm was almost certain. If she could encounter more opportunities, there was hope for further progress.

Apex Level forces like the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had thousands of inner disciples and even more outer disciples. However, the number of senior core disciples qualified to recruit followers and afford them was scarce.

These senior core disciples were destined to become the future high-ranking members of the sect. The positions around them were undoubtedly precious, and each follower's quota was worth fighting for among the inner and outer disciples.

Given Qin Muling's cultivation level, it was a bit early for her to accept followers now, especially with so much attention from the outside world. It was inconvenient in many ways. Therefore, after careful consideration, she ultimately gave this opportunity to Senior Sister Xue Bingxuan.

"...Bastard, next time find one for me too, don't favor one over the other!"

Luo Wanqing, who was beside her, was slightly dissatisfied and lightly kicked Qin Muling, whispering with her divine sense.

Qi Yalan, sitting on the other side, did not speak, but her deep and beautiful eyes staring at him said it all: if you don't treat everyone equally, be prepared for the consequences tonight!

"Alright..."

Qin Muling was somewhat speechless. How could someone with such a destined fate be so easy to find? Even if they were found, whether they could be successfully recruited depended on opportunities. It wasn't like picking as many cabbages as you wanted.

However, saying these things was useless. Whenever it involved herself, the senior sisters would inevitably compete in a subtle manner, determined not to fall behind.

Qi Shuyu and Su Yurong not far away seemed to be deep in thought. With Qin Muling's terrifying potential, it would be a matter of course to select followers and build their own team once their cultivation reached a certain level.

If that was the case, why not prepare in advance? They could carefully select a few outstanding female cultivators from their own faction and give them to him, whether as followers, concubines, or even maidservants. As long as they could stay by his side.

As they got closer to Qin Muling, there would be opportunities to get to know each other, gradually cultivate feelings, and serve him to his satisfaction. Advancing their status would be a natural result.

Qi Shuyu secretly made up her mind to contact her own elders when she returned. It seemed unrealistic to bring Qin Muling over in one fell swoop, but starting from this aspect to open up the situation was a suitable choice.

As the night grew late, the banquet finally ended.

During the event, some core disciples imitated Qi Shuyu and attempted to invite Qin Muling for a private conversation, but he politely declined. If everyone came to borrow his ear, there would be no time for anything else.

Therefore, until the end of the banquet, Qin Muling remained seated without moving, wholeheartedly dealing with the food and wine in front of him. After all, the items at the banquet were funded by the sect, so he might as well enjoy them.

Back in his courtyard, before he could even sit down, Fourth Senior Sister arrived at his door.

"It's my turn to teach you tonight," Luo Wanqing hugged him and smiled with curved eyebrows and eyes. "The key to rapid advancement in body cultivation lies in extensive battles. So let's go, let's fight. You can choose any position you want!"

Qin Muling: "..."

The second update will be posted at midnight without fail.
