2 Chapter 2
In order to avoid becoming the heroine of some kind of novel, Ning Shu has made many attempts over the years, such as trying her best to adjust her words and deeds, working out hard to build up muscles, and even trying to eat herself into a fat man. But for some reason, no matter what stupid actions she takes, she will only become a unique...bright beauty.
Ning Shu, lying on the couch with a dead heart, said: ...
To be honest, this kind of magical physique that allows you to eat a lot without gaining weight and has its own filter is quite enviable. It would be even better if I were not the young master of the Hehuan Sect.
But the days of lying in the house and waiting to die are almost over. Just a few days ago, Ning Shu held her coming-of-age ceremony in a grand manner under the auspices of her mother, the sect leader.
Yes, she has grown up and is finally about to start the first step in her long journey of cultivating immortals (painful face).
She has been living in fear these past few days, fearing that some kind-hearted and beautiful sister would suddenly come to her house with some "cultivation materials" in her hand and want to teach her how to practice. She couldn't eat or sleep well every day, and even secretly packed her luggage, thinking about whether she should run away secretly to avoid the spotlight.
Just when she couldn't help but put it into practice, the voice of the maid Xiao Cui suddenly came from the door: "Young Sect Master, the Sect Master just sent a message asking to see you."
Xiao Cui is the daughter of the wet nurse Cui Ma. After raising Ning Shu, Cui Ma went out to "cultivate". However, her daughter grew up with Ning Shu at the same age, so she simply stayed to serve the young master as a maid.
Ning Shu was startled when she heard this and jumped up from the couch: "It's over, it's over, mother, are you going to teach me how to practice?"
I really can't do this! I can't accept spending the rest of my life surrounded by all sorts of 18+ people!
"I don't know. The Sect Master didn't tell me." Xiao Cui tapped her chin with her index finger and blinked her eyes, revealing a dimpled smile. "But it's indeed time for Young Sect Master to improve his cultivation. Xiao Cui wishes you a successful foundation building as soon as possible!"
Ning Shu had only practiced some of the most basic skills before, and his current cultivation level was only at the Qi training stage. He had not yet left the stage of being a mortal, and it was time for him to "cultivate" well.
Unexpectedly, the Young Master not only showed no joy, but with a bitter face, he took out a bundle from under the couch and put it on his back, then firmly grasped Xiao Cui's shoulders and said, "Xiao Cui, let's run!"
"Eh?" Xiao Cui looked confused, and it took her a while to react: "Young Sect Master, w-why?"
"Oh, there's no time to explain to you. Let's go first..." Ning Shu pushed Xiao Cui's shoulder and was about to leave without saying anything.
"Don't act rashly, Young Master." Suddenly, a charming female voice interrupted their movements. A slender woman in a purple gauze dress walked slowly down the water corridor.
"There's an old Taoist priest with a big nose blocking the sect gate and yelling and cursing. If you go out, you'll be in trouble."
"Ah? Again?" Ning Shu was already used to this kind of thing. She turned around helplessly and said, "Sister Zixiao, what's the reason this time? Is it because of his disciple too..."
"Hmph! They're all unreasonable prudes!" Zi Xiao's face, always beaming with smiles, now etched with anger. She scoffed, "This kind of thing is consensual. Zi Qiu didn't force that man. How dare he come here and accuse me?!"
Well, it seems that the sister who "got into trouble" should be Zi Qiu.
Whenever this issue comes up, Ning Shu can't help but sigh that wherever there are people, there are disputes.
The disciples of the Hehuan Sect all practice the way of love, that is, the seven emotions and six desires of human beings are the foundation of practice, so most of the disciples will go to the human world to gain experience, allowing themselves to fully experience the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness in the mortal world... Well, to put it simply, they like to talk about love.
But unfortunately, the "ruthless way" is the mainstream in this world of cultivation.
Whether it's the Qingfeng Sword Sect that practices swordsmanship, the Jiuyang Sect that focuses on alchemy, or even the Tianji Pavilion that mutters to itself at the stars every day... In short, most sects believe that cultivators need to exercise restraint, and only by overcoming their inner emotions can they focus all their minds on the path of cultivation.
As for the Tianyan Sect that was blocking the door, they were a bit more extreme. They believed that being obsessed with swords, pills, stars, etc. was also a wrong path. They advocated abandoning all emotions and desires and becoming a humanoid machine that focused on cultivation.
For Ning Shu, it's hard to say who is right or wrong. Everyone has a different path. Anyway, they can all practice, so they all end up in the same destination.
But the bad thing is that love affairs are beyond the control of the Hehuan Sect disciples!
They are all handsome men and beautiful women in the world of cultivation. Before going out, they were all locked up in the sect by their elders and had never seen the world. Now they accidentally get together for various reasons during their travels. Isn't it normal for someone to be attracted to someone else?
Everything that follows will naturally come naturally. Isn't this how we disciples of the Hehuan Sect practice?
Huh? You said you practice the Way of Mercy? Don't you know that? You didn't mention it when we were discussing it, and now that Master has found out, you're blaming me?
Although theoretically both parties are responsible for falling in love, it is a pity that the world of cultivation is a place where strength matters, and those elders who discovered that their disciples were in "premature love" were not reasonable people.
What? My good disciple is in love? That must be the seductive woman from your Hehuan Sect deliberately seducing him! I, your disciple, was clearly devoted to cultivation and behaved well in the sect! It's all you evil monsters who led my disciple astray!
You clearly knew we were practicing the ruthless way, yet you still came up to us. You did it on purpose! You used such vile means to take advantage of my disciple, causing his Dao heart to break and his cultivation to suffer. You are so cruel!
Every elder who was blocking the gate of Hehuan Sect and cursing angrily basically repeated these few words over and over again, just like those annoying parents who blame online games for their children's poor academic performance.
In fact, the Hehuan Sect was really wronged in this matter. Although the disciples did rely on some indescribable methods to practice, they did not adopt the insidious method of taking yang to replenish yin and taking the opportunity to absorb the cultivation of others.
Well, after all, if you smoke every girl you date, then this "cultivation material" is too unsustainable. The disciples of the Hehuan Sect prefer the mutually beneficial cultivation method. I had a good experience this time, and you are welcome to come again next time.
So even though the Hehuan Sect has a bad reputation among those famous sects, the disciples are actually quite popular among those independent cultivators, demon cultivators and monster cultivators, and there has never been any problem of their cultivation regressing.
As for why the cultivation of the disciples of those sects regressed? This was a question that remained unsolved in the world of cultivation. Neither the elders nor the Hehuan Sect could figure it out, so in the end, they could only attribute it to the limitations of the Ruthless Dao. Then, they angrily cursed the Hehuan Sect's evil woman for disturbing their Daoist hearts and deserving of death.
In response, the Hehuan Sect disciples, who repeatedly took the blame, said: "Haha, disciples of the reputable and upright sects, please get out of here! If you come sticking around again, we'll kill you all!"
Having said that, every year there are still many fledgling disciples who ignore the warnings of their predecessors and fall in love with disciples from authentic immortal sects. They love each other madly, but then are separated by the master and blocked at the door and scolded.
Ahem! Maybe love is a rebellious thing that only grows stronger the more you warn it against it.
For example, this Zi Qiu, Ning Shu had never even heard of his name. At first glance, he looked like a newcomer who had never suffered any loss.
Ning Shu frowned and looked at Zixiao worriedly: "Is Sister Ziqiu okay? How is she now?"
After all, it is very painful to be heartbroken, especially to be separated from one's first love. Every year, disciples of the Hehuan Sect who have been separated from their lovers cry their hearts out by the lake. Ning Shu can't help but shed a tear of sympathy for them.
Alas, it is not easy to cultivate the way of love. The water level of the Acacia Lake of the Hehuan Sect has risen by three or four points.
"Hmph, you've been crying for days, you useless fool!" Zi Xiao frowned worriedly when this question was raised, but she eventually skipped the topic: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. The Sect Master guessed that you were going to sneak away, so he specially asked me to come here. Let's go, Young Sect Master?"
Ning Shu failed to change the subject: ...
Seeing Ning Shu's face suddenly turn bitter, Zi Xiao was amused by her. She walked over and pinched the little girl's soft cheeks: "Why are you so reluctant? When you were little, weren't you eager to practice?"
How could I have imagined at that time that your way of cultivation would be so wild?
Ning Shu, who was just a rookie in the Qi training stage, had no way of resisting Zi Xiao, who was in the Spirit Transformation stage, so he was finally brought to the island where the sect master was unwillingly.
After sending someone to the door, Zixiao left with a smile. Only Ning Shu was left. With a nervous mood, he shrank his neck and stepped into his mother's bedroom carefully.
To be fair, this mother actually doted on her only daughter. Ning Shu had long since become familiar with every plant and tree in the palace through countless acts of debauchery. After searching the bedroom, the main hall, the tea room, and other places, she pushed open the door to the bedroom with familiarity: "Mother, are you looking for me?"
As she spoke, she looked around the courtyard warily, and when she found that there was no strange man here, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Shu has long regarded her mother in this life as her real mother. If something like her biological mother introduced her to a sex partner happened, she really wouldn't be able to hold back.
This vast courtyard has no other exotic flowers or plants to decorate it except for lush green grass. However, in the center there is a sturdy tree that several people cannot hug together. Its lush branches and golden leaves extend outward, blocking out the sun and covering the sky above the entire courtyard.
This is a sacred tree that has been passed down from ancient times in the Hehuan Sect. It is tens of thousands of years old. It is said that the barrier that protects the entire sect depends on it, and it is the most precious treasure of the entire sect.
There was a beautiful lady with graceful appearance standing under the tree, looking up. She was wearing an equally luxurious golden dress, and her long, shiny hair was even more gorgeous than the glittering silk on her body. When she heard the movement behind her, she turned around.
Her eyes are full of charm, her lips are like cherries, and a golden flower blooms between her eyebrows. She looks elegant and gorgeous, yet not vulgar.
Ah, she can look so good in this tacky gold color. I feel so sorry for her for not being able to inherit even one ten-thousandth of her beauty! Ning Shu covered her chest and was once again stunned by her mother's beauty.
"Shu'er, come to your mother. There's no point in delaying. You must start practicing today no matter what!"
The beautiful mother clapped her hands, and a group of handsome men of different styles suddenly appeared from under the eaves.
"Greetings, Young Sect Master!" They bowed in unison. In a daze, Ning Shu thought she had accidentally walked into the Shaxian Hotel and was being welcomed by the receptionists.
Ning Shu: ...
Sweaty as hell, folks.
