Chapter 22 Team, what misunderstandings do you have about our sect?
—Xiao Sheng! If you meet the leader of Zhongnan Dao Sect, don't be afraid. He's my good brother. Don't show mercy when the time comes. Remember to hit him hard. If anything goes wrong, I'll cover for you!
When Chu Sheng found the base to rest, he was confused to find that Ye Ziqing had sent him a message.
Putting aside the fact that the leader of Zhongnan Dao Sect was definitely a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, wouldn't there be something wrong with me, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, fighting a mid-stage Jindan cultivator? The key point was, was I a mid-stage Jindan cultivator? Was that true?
The second thing is that good brother who is full of complaints... Are you sure this kind of relationship is called brothers and not enemies? Whose good brothers are like this!
Chu Sheng had so much to complain about that he had nowhere to vent it, so he could only send a message to Si Chun in a tactful way.
"Uncle Master, has Senior Brother Ziqing almost finished paying off his debts at the Duobao Pagoda?"
Si Chun misunderstood Chu Sheng's meaning and replied readily.
"I've never heard of this. What's the matter? Are you worried about not having enough spirit stones? Don't worry. If it really doesn't work out, just blame it on your Senior Brother Ziqing. He can draw anyway!"
Ah... Never mind, this is fine. Chu Sheng wiped his face and could only accept another pile of spirit stones that fell from the sky with resistance. Oh, I can never spend all the spirit stones I have!
Chu Sheng didn't believe that Ye Ziqing had truly forgotten the Duobao Pagoda's commission and was forced to repay the debt. After such a long time in the Hehuan Sect, Chu Sheng was already very familiar with the behavior of this senior brother Ziqing.
If in the Sword Palace, the person the disciples trust the most is Luoshui Sword Qi'an, and the representative of Zhongnan Taoist Sect is Sect Master Yuan Qi, then the only person who has such a say within the Hehuan Sect is Ye Ziqing.
As to why Ye Ziqing is half... it's because this guy is really annoying sometimes. He can be called the king of slacking off in the world of cultivation. When encountering problems, he always tries to shirk them or delay them.
Wang Ze, who eloped for love, and Gu Xuan, who suddenly advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, were both victims who were forced to take the blame by Ye Ziqing. Chu Sheng had not been able to escape the clutches of this senior brother in the past.
Because of this, after learning that Ye Ziqing had suddenly failed in such a major event as the Dharma Cultivation Competition, she knew that this senior brother was probably going to cause trouble again...
Chu Sheng used Si Chun's oral instructions as a token to spend spirit stones to keep accounts, trying to make Ye Ziqing feel the price of his reckless behavior and finding others to take the blame.
Who told him to take advantage of my absence and throw the blame on me, running away to rush to finish his manuscript? Since you like rushing to finish your manuscript, then rush more! This is the blessing that our Brother Ziqing has always deserved for his persistence in treating others with sincerity!
The mechanism of the Dharma Cultivation Competition is not complicated. Since all participants are cultivators of the Dharma Cultivation Path, the different levels of attainments in the Dharma Cultivation Path of each sect are well-defined.
Unless there is a genius who suddenly appears, or a freak like Chu Sheng who is hard to find, everyone knows the strength of the rest of the people.
Therefore, this Dharma Cultivation Competition is not so much a competition between disciples of different sects to determine who is better, but rather a unified year-end report on disciple training submitted by each Dharma Cultivation sect in the Dharma Cultivation Competition.
In addition to the traditional multi-round fighting and state of mind trials, perhaps in order to make advance preparations for the subsequent entry into the ancient ruins, this competition also added a new random team fighting mode.
"A random team-based martial arts competition?" Chu Sheng pinched the team leader's token, looking thoughtful.
"What do you mean? Are we going to shuffle all the disciples from various sects and then regroup them for a duel?"
"You can understand it that way." Gui Xuan had once observed the Sword Cultivation Competition and the Talisman Cultivation Competition up close in the name of Liangyi Valley. She obviously knew more about this kind of thing than Chu Sheng, who had never been involved in it before.
"In short, this kind of assessment usually tests the individual qualities and team spirit of the disciples of each sect—wait, what's that expression on your face?"
"Fortunately, it was a random draw. If the major sects had formed a group, our Hehuan Sect would have most likely lost."
Chu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this, looking relieved that he had survived the ordeal.
"Very good!"
"Are you so lacking in confidence in your fellow disciples and sisters from the He Huan Sect?" Gui Xuan was a little surprised, and the black and white pompom on her head trembled twice with her movements. "According to your personality..."
He actually put himself in Chu Sheng's shoes and thought for a moment. "With your strong personality, you should be willing to drag them forward, right?"
"Other people may not know, but how could I not know what kind of people my own sect's disciples are like... So, what misunderstanding do you have about our Hehuan Sect?" Chu Sheng pointed at the team behind him that was now in a mess in the yard, and looked at him with an indescribable look.
Look at the people they brought out this time!
Chen Duoer, in the middle stage of foundation building, is the second direct disciple of Elder Fuqiu. She is the younger sister of senior brother Wang Ze who eloped for love. She majors in fire magic and minors in swordsmanship. Her research result that was popular in the sect a while ago was "On how to use the sword of love to turn the primary Xuanhuo Kung Fu into a firework."
Now, because he had just demonstrated a technique to two fellow disciples, and accidentally let sparks burn to the dead branches of the tree, he was scrambling to put out the fire.
Fang Yuan, a disciple of Elder Mo Yan, who was in the middle stage of foundation building, was a different person from the chatterbox elder Mo Yan, who had a completely different Dao name. He was a young man who appeared to be well-behaved, quiet and steady...
"My fellow Daoist, I am honored to meet you. I wonder if we have met somewhere before?" Fang Yuan, who had been looking well-behaved just now, turned around and greeted the monks from other sects who were passing by the courtyard gate.
"To be honest, I felt very close to you the moment I saw you, as if we were half-brothers and half-sisters..."
"Sorry, sorry, this kid has been a little obsessed lately." Chu Sheng apologized to the confused leaders of the other sects, while reaching out to pick up his careless junior brother. He turned around and put out the fire that almost burned the roof of Chen Duoer's house, and then said to the last team member who was sitting quietly on the side without turning his head.
"Baby, I told you before we left the sect not to put your little toys on Duo'er and Xiao Fangyuan when they weren't paying attention, right?"
Wait, when did this disciple start sitting there? Wasn't there anyone else in the yard just now besides him, Chu Sheng, Chen Duo'er, and Fang Yuan, who had crawled to the door to flirt with other girls? Gui Xuan was startled and looked over as if she had seen a ghost.
"Senior Sister, what are you talking about?" Jade Doll is as her name suggests, a girl with glowing white skin and skin that seems crystal clear.
After hearing the team leader Chu Sheng say this by name, she who was sitting beside the small table in the courtyard just blinked her big eyes like black grapes and spoke with an innocent and well-behaved look.
"Wawa doesn't understand. What on earth is Senior Sister talking about?"
Perhaps outsiders would be deceived by her appearance, but only the people of the Hehuan Sect would never take it lightly - because there are countless unlucky disciples in the sect, and they have used bloody lessons to make this fact known to everyone:
Jade Wawa, the youngest daughter of Yu Jujiu, the great priest of the Beast Taming Sect who is in the early stage of foundation building and in the tribulation period, Lingju Daozun Yu Jujiu, although for various reasons she has now become a disciple of Elder Mochou of the Hehuan Sect, but what she practices is the beast taming way of the reptile lineage!
Chen Duoer and Fang Yuan knew the power of the jade doll, so their faces changed drastically when they heard it, and they immediately began to frantically search their bodies. Chen Duoer, who was most afraid of insects, was particularly upset and immediately asked:
"Wait, are you crazy?! We're out here fighting on behalf of our sect against other sects, not fighting among our own disciples. Why are you attacking your own people?!"
"What are you talking about? I don't know. I can't understand." After being scolded, the jade baby pouted in grievance, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Didn't we agree that if I went out with my senior brothers and sisters, there would be plenty of people to play with me? Master lied. I don't like it here. I want to go home..."
"Ahhhh, I've already told you that I don't understand why the Sect Leader would agree to let the baby come along!" Chen Duoer was jumping around on the spot to shake off the bugs on her body, feeling very crazy.
"This child is mentally ill. We can't communicate with her at all, Fangyuan! Fangyuan? Fangyuan! Are you mute, Fangyuan?!"
At this moment, Fang Yuan had a peaceful look on his face, remaining as quiet as death. A snow-white centipede quickly scurried across his outstretched fingertips.
"Have you made it? Are you not afraid of insects anymore?" Chen Duoer carefully patted his face, only to find that this fellow disciple was so frightened by the reptiles that fell from the sky that he didn't know what the world was. He rolled his eyes and saw the ancestor.
"In short, it looks like the person is still here, but actually he has been gone for a while." Chu Sheng commented. Chen Duoer finally remembered that this senior sister was still around, and immediately asked for help.
"Senior Sister! Senior Sister, please take care of the baby! If she keeps acting like this, we're going to suffer non-combat casualties!"
"Baby, look, did you almost lose your favorite little treasure by accident?"
Chu Sheng, who had expected this, was surprisingly calm. He was even able to pinch out a three-eyed white spider from the hair bun on Gui Xuan's head and put it in front of the jade doll to show her.
"Elder Mochou didn't lie to you. It's just that everyone isn't ready to play with you right now. They're all secretly preparing surprises for the next few days. If you send the little treasures away now, they'll be secretly taken away by others."
"Senior Sister Chu Sheng." Jade Baby took the three-eyed white spider and rubbed it in her hand. Then she looked up at her with tears in her eyes. "Are you telling the truth? Are you not lying to me?"
"Of course. Elder Mochou should have told you before you left, right? You have to listen to your senior sister when you go out, right?" Chu Sheng smiled and fooled the child, and even reached out to touch the head of the three-eyed white spider in the jade doll's hand.
"Believe me, Senior Sister. We in the Hehuan Sect will not lie to others in the Hehuan Sect!"
