Chapter 62 Chapter 62 I know an outstanding young man,...
Time flies.
It has been more than a year since Jiang Yan and his group of disciples entered the Hehuan Sect.
The headmaster decided that it was time to do a simple survey of his disciples to understand their learning progress.
What the head of the sect wants to know is not the "second course" such as swordsmanship and alchemy, but the progress of practicing the sect's secret method - the Hehuan Gongfa.
In simple terms, it means asking how many partners you have found, whether you have had your wedding night, whether you have encountered any troubles or obstacles during your dual cultivation, etc...
The Hehuan Sect was very open, and all the erotic books were circulated among each other. The Sect Leader was an experienced person and was not shy at all.
The head of the sect called everyone together and announced the news in public. After hearing it, everyone did what they had to do and did not take it seriously.
Others can leave, but those who need to receive academic inquiries should stay and line up at the side.
At the scene, only four people felt like the sky was falling.
He Huan Zhenren made a bitter face: "Yan'er..."
Fan Yang sighed, "What is coming cannot be avoided."
Yan Yushan said seriously: "Junior brother, how about we sneak away now?"
Jiang Yan thought it was a good idea.
The four of them turned around and tried to run.
Unfortunately, the leader had sharp eyes and caught Lady Jiang who was trying to escape from the crowd at a glance.
"Yan'er!"
The headmaster shouted, "You've gone the wrong way. That's not the direction to queue."
Jiang Yan: “…”
The other three people: "..."
A fellow disciple heard this and greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Jiang, come quickly, I'll let you line up in front of me."
No one was worried about the issue of "graduation", so they lined up very actively with the mentality of finishing their questions early and leaving early.
Jiang Yan looked at Master Hehuan for help.
He Huan Zhenren patted his shoulder and said, "Yan'er, go with peace of mind. At worst, you will have to repeat the grade."
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Jiang Yan went to line up with a tragic mood. He declined several junior classmates who invited him to cut in line and insisted on going to the end of the line.
Even if someone came late, Jiang Yan would give way to another person.
Always the last one in the team.
"Senior brother's character is really impeccable. Not only does he insist on not cutting in line, he also takes the initiative to let others line up in front of him." Everyone sighed.
Jiang Yan was speechless and choked up.
——He just doesn’t want to face the leader.
In the magical continent, he was an envied top student, always at the top of the list and never taking second place.
Unexpectedly, he would have to repeat a grade in the Hehuan Sect.
His progress in practicing the Hehuan technique was very good, and he could even practice dual cultivation with himself.
Is it okay not to find a partner?
Jiang Yan stood in line silently, waiting to enter the master's study.
There were fewer and fewer people in the team, and the team moved faster and faster. Before long, it was Jiang Yan's turn.
The master's yard is large and empty.
"Next." The voice of the headmaster came from the study.
Jiang Yan nervously pushed open the door, walked in, and then slowly closed it with his back hand.
"Oh, it's Yan'er."
The headmaster held a teacup and sat upright in the armchair behind the desk.
He smiled kindly and said, "Don't be nervous, Master Uncle will ask you any questions, just answer truthfully."
Just in case, the head master followed the rules and pointed to a ceramic sculpture of the ancestor placed in the hall, and then pointed to a circle drawn on the ground.
"Stand inside. That is the formation set up by our ancestor. If anyone in the formation tells a lie, the statue of our ancestor will crack. This is a secret skill that only the sect leader can pass on."
Jiang Yan thought: Doesn’t that mean I just need to talk nonsense at the beginning to break the statue, and then the formation will be ineffective.
The headmaster added casually: "Don't think about damaging it on purpose. I have a box of similar ceramics and can replenish them at any time."
Jiang Yan: “…”
The headmaster's amiable smile was so terrifying in Jiang Yan's eyes.
"Yan'er, what are you waiting for? Come and stand in the circle." The head master said with a smile.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to do as he was told.
The headmaster asked, "How far have you practiced the Hehuan technique?"
Jiang Yan: "Harmonize yin and yang, cultivate both nature and life, integrate the two, and comprehend the will of heaven and man."
The headmaster nodded with satisfaction: "Did you encounter any difficulties? Is everything going well?"
Jiang Yan said, "Master, when the Yin and Yang in my body blend, a burning sensation often arises from my Dantian, which then spreads to the meridians throughout my body. Gradually, it feels like I'm soaking in hot spring water, and my limbs become weak."
"I asked my master, and he said it was normal and told me not to pay any attention to it."
The head of the sect clapped his hands and said, "It's completely normal! How can it be called dual cultivation without some pleasure?"
Jiang Yan: “…Ah?”
The head of the sect smiled and said, "I see that you have excellent conditions and extraordinary talent. Teachers often praise you to me. You must be the most worry-free and outstanding disciple in the entire sect."
"Master, you have spent most of the morning here and you must be tired. So why don't we shorten the process and get straight to the point. What do you think?"
"Okay." Jiang Yan became more and more nervous, his voice tense.
The head of the sect took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Does Yan'er have a partner?"
Jiang Yan: “…”
The head of the sect said: "Oh! I'm not afraid of breaking up. What I mean is, it's okay as long as we had it before."
Jiang Yan: “…………”
The head of the sect was very confused and looked up at the handsome young man standing in the polygraph circle.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Jiang Yan asked tentatively: "I have had a partner before..."
He didn't even finish the last word.
“Ka-ka-bang!”
In full view of everyone, the left arm of the founder's statue cracked open and fell to the ground, turning into a pile of debris.
Sect Leader: “???”
Jiang Yan: “.”
The leader was shocked!
His hand holding the teacup trembled slightly.
"Yan'er, have you never had sex with anyone before?"
Jiang Yan lowered his head and quietly used a silent protective magic on himself.
I don’t know if I can withstand the magic circle of the ancestor.
He cleared his throat and said, "Of course I have—"
"Bang!!"
The entire statue exploded suddenly, and fragments flew everywhere.
Sect Leader: “…”
Jiang Yan: “…”
The head of the sect said faintly, "Are you trying to cheat? I forgot to tell you that you cannot use any power in this formation, otherwise the statue will explode directly."
Jiang Yan lowered his head in shame.
How shameful! He actually cheated in front of the teacher and was caught red-handed.
The statue shattered, and the hearts of the two people present also shattered.
The head of the sect quickly took out a new statue and put it back in its place, then began to interrogate Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan didn't dare to do it again and answered honestly.
"You don't even have someone to practice the Hehuan technique with you, so how did you practice it on your own?" the headmaster asked in disbelief.
Jiang Yan lowered his eyebrows and said: "I practice with myself."
The head of the sect: "You are messing with Narcissus?!"
Jiang Yan: “…Uh.”
"No need to say anything!" The head of the sect angrily slammed the table and said, "There is no disciple in the Hehuan Sect who can't find a love relationship. How come you don't even have someone to fall in love with after a year in the sect? What did your master teach you?"
The headmaster said the words that all students feared the most:
"Right now, call your master to my study."
The parents were called.
Jiang Yan was in a heavy mood.
…
Master Hehuan was mentally prepared for this.
He followed Jiang Yan and stepped into the master's study again.
Both of them were scolded bitterly.
"This is the Hehuan Sect! The Hehuan Sect!"
The head of the sect said with great sorrow: "It's been a whole year, Junior Brother, how could you let your disciple stay with the sword every day and not find a partner?"
He Huan Zhenren shrank his neck: "Yan Er actually said that he wanted to marry Jian."
Jiang Yan on the side nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
The head of the sect was furious: "We are not the Sword Sect!"
He Huan Zhenren couldn't help but say, "We burned incense for our ancestor late at night and asked him whether Yan'er could get married. Green smoke came out of his incense burner!"
"I was wondering why there were always extra offerings and incense ashes in the ancestral hall for a while..."
The leader was speechless.
He issued an ultimatum: "In this case, Yan'er will repeat a year. Next year, you must work hard to date and find a partner in time. Do you understand?"
Jiang Yan: “…Yes.”
The Hehuan Sect is really different.
Other schools’ requirements: Practice hard.
The Hehuan Sect requires: Try hard to fall in love.
The head of the sect looked at him with a burning gaze: "Yan'er, next year you can only succeed, not fail. Do you have the confidence?"
Jiang Yan nodded: "Yes."
The newly put up statue broke again.
Sect Leader: “…”
Master He Huan: “Ahem.”
Jiang Yan: “…………”
Grandmaster, please give me some face since I burn yellow paper and incense towers for you.
**
Jiang Yan never expected this.
This day was the beginning of his nightmare.
He Huan Zhenren would grab him every now and then and ask, "Yan'er, I know an outstanding young man, more than eight feet tall, handsome, and with eight-pack abs. Do you want to meet him?"
Jiang Yan shook his head decisively: "No."
He Huan Zhenren: "Alas!"
After a while.
He Huan Zhenren intentionally asked Jiang Yan to go down the mountain to deliver a letter for him. The location was a dating place for young couples, and he wanted Jiang Yan to feel the atmosphere there.
That place was far away, and Jiang Yan missed the branches of the mother tree planted in the soil and didn't want to leave Anshui Town.
Gu Jingyun has always been busy. He was out in Zhongzhou at the moment and not in the Hehuan Sect, so he didn't know about this.
In order to share the Immortal Lord's worries, the Sirius Guard volunteered to take on the task and quickly completed it successfully.
Master Hehuan was about to faint and wanted to pinch his own Ren Zhong point.
"You actually thought of sending the Sirius Guards..."
Jiang Yan was puzzled: "Master, is there anything wrong with the work of the Heavenly Wolf Guard?"
The capabilities of the Sirius Guards are among the best, and nothing they do can be faulted.
Master Hehuan had nothing to say.
…
A few months passed, and the time was approaching for the one-year agreement with the headmaster.
The Soul-Chasing Grass, which had grown slowly due to the influence of the other world, finally matured.
Jiang Yan had said it in advance, so Gu Jingyun was able to arrive from Dongzhou in time.
The Sirius Guards helped with the picking, and they collected several baskets of spiritual herbs.
Jiang Yan squatted on the ground carefully, dug the branches of the mother tree out of the soil, and put them away carefully.
"Why does it remain the same as before, without taking root or growing green leaves?" Gu Jingyun asked.
Jiang Yan trusted him immensely and didn't hide anything from him.
"This is a dead branch that fell from the mother tree. It looks intact, but it is actually lifeless. However, the natural power remaining in it is still strong and can protect plants and living things. It is a sacred object of the tribe."
Gu Jingyun hesitated: "Are the branches and leaves of trees sacred to your clan?"
It's not impossible.
But what does the big tree have to do with the rabbit?
Jiang Yan nodded: "Yes, the mother tree is in the middle of the tribe, and its territory will protect everyone. Every year, it must be led by a priest and worshiped seriously."
An image suddenly emerged in Gu Jingyun's mind: a group of snow-white long-eared rabbits, huddled together, bowing and worshiping the big tree that sheltered them.
Jiang Yan said proudly: "I am the most outstanding elf of the younger generation. I always rank at the top every year."
Gu Jingyun searched the image in his mind and quickly caught the most dazzling one at the front of the group of rabbits.
Well, Ayan would be the cutest rabbit elf.
"The Soul-Chasing Grass still needs to be processed. Wait for me—"
Before Jiang Yan could finish his words, a Tianlang Guard suddenly came to report.
"My Lord, True Man He Huan is here!"
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Jingyun: "I'm going to see Master."
Gu Jingyun nodded: "Go ahead."
Jiang Yan walked to the front yard.
Master Hehuan was holding a few pieces of portrait paper and knocking on the gate frantically.
He said loudly:
"Yan'er, I have several portraits and profiles of young talents here. Why don't you come out and pick one?"
Jiang Yan always felt a chill on his back and his scalp was tingling for some reason.
But when I looked back, there was nothing.
I'm probably overthinking it.
Jiang Yan scratched his cheek and replied loudly: "Master, I have no interest in them!"
He Huan Zhenren was furious: "You haven't even seen what they look like, how do you know if they are interested? Come out now!"
Jiang Yan had no choice but to go out and deal with his master.
The two of them sat in the pavilion in the courtyard. Jiang Yan flipped through the four or five portraits on the table with a numb expression and a perfunctory attitude.
He Huan Zhenren slammed the table: "Be serious!"
Jiang Yan was forced to correct his attitude.
Master He Huan said, "They are all handsome guys. Do you like any of them?"
Jiang Yan looked through them one by one and shook his head: "No."
It is said that she is very good-looking, but when he looked at her, he felt that she was just so-so.
...Not as good as my brother.
Jiang Yan rearranged the portrait and said to He Huan Zhenren with an unprecedented seriousness, "Master, please stop working."
He Huan Zhenren: "The one-year period given to you by the Sect Leader is less than two months. Do you still want to graduate?"
This year, the head of the sect helped to find an excuse to conceal it.
If she repeats another year, the entire Hehuan Sect will know that Lady Jiang was forced to repeat a grade.
Jiang Yan hesitated and said painfully, "I burn incense to my master seriously every month. If I lied and said that I practiced dual cultivation with myself, I would be messing with that Narcissus."
"Master, you should be able to forgive me, right?"
He Huan Zhenren said earnestly: "It is wrong to lie."
Jiang Yan wanted to cry but had no tears.
Master Hehuan couldn't do anything with his little disciple.
He sighed.
"Well, the headmaster suddenly mentioned something to me a few days ago, and I think it's a good idea."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yan asked.
Master He Huan: "Every hundred years, each sect will send its outstanding young disciples to participate in the competition, and the disciples' victory or defeat in the competition will be used as the basis for the ranking between the sects."
Jiang Yan was curious: "I've heard of it, what's the ranking of the Hehuan Sect?"
Master Hehuan slowly raised three fingers.
Jiang Yan was shocked: "Third?!"
He Huan Zhenren: "It's the third from the bottom."
Jiang Yan: “…………”
"Not bad, there are still two to cushion us."
He Huan Zhenren had long been accustomed to this ranking, and said, "In two months, it will be the new sect competition. You are the most outstanding disciple, and I have discussed with the sect leader and plan to send you as a representative to participate in the competition. Are you willing?"
Jiang Yan sat upright and said solemnly, "Disciple is willing to do his best to win honor for the sect!"
He Huan Zhenren waved his hands and said comfortedly: "Ranking is not important, don't put pressure on yourself. As long as you are willing to go."
After all, the Hehuan Sect has only one purpose for participating in the sect competition:
Arrange blind dates for disciples.
Considering Jiang Yan's resistance to blind dates, Master Hehuan did not intend to tell the truth.
He patted Jiang Yan's shoulder and said meaningfully: "Yan'er, you must prepare well."
"Yes, Master!" Jiang Yan bowed solemnly.
Master Hehuan went back with his hands behind his back, humming a song.
Jiang Yan returned to the backyard and said to Gu Jingyun: "Master sent me to participate in the sect competition."
Gu Jingyun was not surprised at all.
Because he was the one who sent someone to pass the news to the leader of the Hehuan Sect in advance.
He also expected that Jiang Yan, as the most outstanding disciple, would definitely be sent out.
Master Hehuan's actions recently were too frequent, and Gu Jingyun couldn't stand it anymore.
If you must find someone for a blind date.
Why can't this person be him?
The soul-chasing grass was also collected, and the very important branch was also put back into Ayan's Sumeru Ring.
He no longer had to be confined in the Hehuan Sect and could go out at will.
The timing was perfect.
Jiang Yan doesn’t know much about this competition, but Gu Jingyun must know it.
Jiang Yan asked, "Brother, do you know where this year's sect competition will be held?"
As expected, Gu Jingyun nodded slightly.
The man smiled and said, "It's in the Sword Sect."
