Wen Jingge slept exceptionally well, not opening her eyes until the afternoon. Huo Yongfei was sitting by the bed, and only asked when he saw her open her eyes, "How did you sleep last night?"
"Very good."
She yawned and naturally picked up the conversation, "When did Senior Brother Sect Leader arrive?"
"I slept with you for three hours."
"Oh." Wen Jingge responded, rubbing her eyes. "Why didn't Liang Si come or call me? I'm a female cultivator, after all. Men and women shouldn't be so intimate."
Huo Yongfei sighed helplessly, "He's sleeping too."
Wen Jingge: ...
"Me too." Bai Teng, who was trapped on the desk, must have woken up from the noise. Her words were still a little unclear. "We just came to check on you, my little darling. Did you hear anything last night?"
"No!" she replied very naturally.
Seeing that her expression seemed genuine, and recalling the barrier set up outside the door when he rushed over late at night, Huo Yongfei asked, "Do you know what the barrier in front of the door is all about?"
"Liang Si came down; he was afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep." Wen Jingge got out of bed, holding a teacup in her hand. Just as she was about to put the teacup to her lips, she suddenly darted forward, startling her so much that she became quite alert. When she stopped, she had already reflexively chopped Gou Chen around Fan Zifan's neck: "Senior Brother Fan, what are you doing here?"
Fan Zifan, who was sleeping on the ground, broke out in a cold sweat. "Me? When did you wake up? Wen Xiaowu, after all these years, why do you still want to kill me?"
"I once wanted to kill you too?" Wen Jingge picked up the Gouchen Sword, a hint of curiosity in his voice. "When did that happen?"
She had read all of Wen Jingge's information, but based on her life at Xuanyun Sect these past few days, there were many things that the system did not know.
For example, what caused her argument with Bu Suanzi, what happened during her fifty years of seclusion at Wanzhang Peak, and why did her other arch-enemy, Fan Zifan, take the initiative to make amends...
"You really forgot?"
“Yes.” Wen Jingge did not deny it.
Fan Zifan looked at the dark circles under her eyes and asked, "What time did you go to bed yesterday?"
"I don't remember, I fell asleep when I got tired of reading." She wasn't lying, though; the book was still on her bed.
Wen Jingge put away the Gouchen Sword and glanced at the three people present. Fan Zifan looked better because she had taken a nap, Bai Teng's face was slightly pale, and Huo Yongfei's face was ashen. "It's only the second day of recruitment, why are you all here?"
"It's nothing." Huo Yongfei stood up first. "I wasn't there when you were accepting disciples yesterday, so I came to check on you."
Wen Jingge seemed confused. "Didn't Liang Si become my disciple a long time ago?"
"Qiao Yu," Bai Teng reminded her.
"There's no need for him to arrive so early! He hasn't even performed the master's ceremony yet, so he can't be considered one of our peak's people. It's not too late to consider him after the small barrier is created."
Huo Yongfei remained silent for a long time before saying, "You've changed."
"That means our little darling has grown up." Bai Teng ruffled Wen Jingge's hair. "Your senior brothers and sisters have left first. If you have time, go and visit the outer mountain."
"I'm going." She seemed to remember something. "Qiao Yu went to deliver the letter last night... Senior Sister, you asked me earlier if I had heard any sounds, and you're all here. Could something have happened at the outer mountain?"
...
[Your acting is superb!]
"You don't need to tell me." Wen Jingge chuckled inwardly. "I can be even more outrageous in a few days."
[...]
"Master." Qiao Yu felt like she had found a pillar of support when she saw Wen Jinge flying over, and hurriedly moved closer to her.
However, Wen Jingge avoided him like the plague, her eyes filled with disgust, and she immediately rebuked him: "Why aren't you going back to Wanzhang Peak? What are you doing here making a fuss?"
Huo Yongfei frowned when he saw Qiao Yu's clothes. Wen Jingge always loved cleanliness, and this child's attire was indeed a disgrace to her. No wonder she didn't like him.
However, the profound energy on this kid's body...
"Xiao Wu, did you teach him anything yesterday?"
"His foundation was too weak; all I could teach him was his mindset. He spent the whole night working at Wanzhang Peak."
When Wen Jingge said this, she didn't hide it from the others. The commotion last night was so great, and this place was not an inner sect area. In addition to the sect, there were many other factions that came to gather people.
Therefore, upon hearing this, everyone turned pale with fright.
But the person involved still didn't see anything wrong with it and continued to criticize: "If you can't even handle such a small thing, what's the point of living? How can you sweep the world if you can't even sweep your own room!"
Qiao Yu was very sad, but what his master said was true, and he couldn't refute it.
Master is right, he's useless, he even caused Master to be questioned by the sect leader.
He lowered his head, sniffed, and tried to make his voice sound normal, "Master's teachings are correct, disciple has learned from them."
"Then his cultivation level..."
“He was born a sword blank, and immediately sensed the heavenly spirit. The Xuan Yun Sect is full of profound energy. Even a stone could cultivate after a hundred or eighty years, let alone someone with a heavenly vein.” Wen Jinge said coldly.
"Senior brother, have you forgotten?" Bai Teng said from the side, "Wenwen also has a Heavenly Meridian. Back then, she only watched us practice for two days before she advanced to the seventh rank."
Their path is different from ours. Advancing in rank is easy for them, but controlling it is difficult. If the foundation is weak, even if they advance, they can't utilize it, and no amount of help from others will help. That's why sects have the tradition of not accepting those with innate talent.
Bai Teng's words helped to extricate them from the predicament.
"Qiao Yu, is that your name?"
"Yes, Master..."
“Your fourth senior uncle is the peak master of Qimu Peak, and his surname is Bai.” Wen Jingge rolled her eyes at him. “What are you standing there for! Greet him! While we’re all here, make sure you recognize him today, or I’ll have to tell you a second time!”
