When Yu Ling was thrown out, she was still dazed and staggered back a few steps before regaining her balance. Was this guy just being nosy?! Then, hearing Jiang Ying's effeminate words, she really wanted to punch him and silence him.
They've hardened their stance, their fists have hardened!
But if a fight really breaks out and a fight breaks out, there's really no good reason to do it... If the sect leader asks, I can't exactly say that Junior Brother Jiang is too... well, it hurts my eyes, can I?
Okay, fine, it's my fault, my fault. Next time I'll definitely learn from the original owner. I'll avoid you when I see you, no, I'll run away too!!!
"Junior Brother Jiang, actually I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"
Yu Ling chose not to engage in pointless entanglement. With that, he cupped his hands and turned to leave. He no longer even had the desire to seek the protagonist's guidance on swordsmanship; he only wanted to return the way he came.
But she had only taken a couple of steps when Yu Ling heard Jiang Ying calling her from behind as she chased after her:
"Wait a minute, Senior Brother Mo, the moment you step out, it's either to spar with someone or to get into a fight. Which upstart are you planning to go and mess with now?"
"That's not the case." Tsk, quite gossipy. Yu Ling saw the person approaching and silently drifted to the side a little, saying coldly, "Master has ordered that it is not advisable to use force."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying looked Yu Ling up and down with a strange gaze.
Aside from isolating everyone at Tingxue Peak and going out to provoke fellow practitioners from other sects into crazy martial arts duels, this person actually has a day when he goes out for other matters?
Then, after a moment's thought, he said with certainty, "Oh, I see. Senior brother must also be going to see the sect leader, right? The new batch of disciples will be holding a competition for newcomers in the next few days. You should definitely bring your disciple back from outside and teach him for a couple of days."
A grand competition for new disciples of a sect?
How come I didn't know?
Yu Ling took out the original owner's memories and sorted them out, and found that it really wasn't his fault. The original owner really didn't know.
"Hmm." Yu Ling nodded. Since he was already out the door, it wouldn't hurt to ask the sect leader for help. He didn't want to torture his eyes any longer. He continued, "Yes, that's right. Junior brother, please stay. Farewell!"
"Hey~ I finally managed to bump into Senior Brother Mo going out, let me see you off~ Senior... Senior Brother?"
Jiang Ying, that effeminate man, clearly had some inappropriate thoughts about the original owner of the icy body, and even stubbornly wanted to follow her again. But this time, having learned her lesson, Yu Ling was smarter and made sure he didn't even get a touch of her clothes before disappearing in a few steps.
"......Damn it, what kind of people did the original owner of this body offend?!"
After what Jiang Ying did to Chu Fan, Yu Ling, who had just calmed down by beating him up, suddenly flew up again.
Jiang Ying is the disciple of the Luoyu Peak Master. She has had a somewhat ambiguous gender since childhood and often secretly stares at the original owner of the body.
He is now at the Golden Core stage, just like the original owner, and is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. His strength far surpasses that of his peers, but he is not as overpowered as the original owner.
"Sigh! Fighting him would only dirty my sword," Yu Ling sighed again.
[Actually, he's quite cute, just a bit too strong, like a body cultivator.] The system actually quite likes this effeminate guy, probably because it's quite effeminate itself.
Yu Ling: ...Respect, but don't understand.
However, this so-called newcomer competition should not have much to do with him. The original owner of this body was even more outrageous than that cheap master, Su Wang.
He couldn't even remember his own disciple's face, and instead threw him out to be left to fend for himself among a group of newcomers who hadn't yet formally become disciples. It was only because the sect leader couldn't stand it anymore that he would pick him up and give him pointers every now and then.
In any case, the original owner never personally gave him any guidance.
Since the original owner didn't care about his disciple, he certainly wouldn't care what ranking the disciple was. So, now that I've transmigrated, I should just leave him alone as well. Is that right?
Using the original owner as a perfect excuse to give up, Yu Ling also changed her plan to find the protagonist and wanted to tell the sect leader about her idea of going into seclusion.
—The kind that won't emerge until the Nascent Soul stage.
The secluded cultivation place was covered with ten-thousand-year-old mysterious stone, making it extremely safe. He could then confidently shut down and rebuild his broken Heartless Path inside, using his accumulated knowledge to break through to a higher level and increase his strength, ensuring that no one would dare mention the original owner's dark history and mess.
Actually, if the restrictions weren't too severe, being ruthless wouldn't be so bad. It can effectively reject ineffective social interactions and moral blackmail, it's just a bit exhausting for opponents. Yu Ling also likes this ruthless persona, so he doesn't plan to let others know that he's going to change his path and start over; using the pretext of seclusion is just right.
Having used facial recognition to reach the sect's main hall, I had originally intended to ask any elder where the sect leader was. But upon entering, I was surprised to find the old man actually there. I quickly stepped forward to greet him, but then I caught sight of this person beside him…
"Master...?"
Yu Ling was stunned. Wasn't this Su Wang, her nominal master, whom she had spoken to not long ago? How come he was back so quickly! She hurriedly bowed to the two of them.
"Disciple greets Master! Greetings, Sect Master!"
The sect leader nodded in agreement, but Su Wang eagerly called Yu Ling to his side and asked:
"Xuan Yu, what brings you here? Did you hear that your master has returned and came to greet me? No need! Really, no need!"
Yu Ling: Huh? Who came to greet you? I had no idea you were back!
Su Wang was very pleased that his dear disciple had come to see him so quickly. It was worth it for him to have been rushed back by the sect leader's relentless calls to comfort him. He then gave the sect leader a smug look and said:
"Sect Master, now that my disciple has come to fetch me, please leave this matter entirely to me. Rest assured! I'll take him back first."
"Yes, go ahead, go ahead. I don't know how much longer this old body of mine can hold on. Xuan Yu's temperament still needs to be tempered. We can't let the illusion happen and let the sect ruin its reputation in my hands."
"That sect leader, I think..."
Upon hearing that she was leaving, Yu Ling couldn't stand it any longer. She was about to ask for a secluded cultivation room when Su Wang ruthlessly interrupted her and took her away.
Su Wangdao:
"Alright, now that your master is back, let's not bother the sect leader with any more questions. Let's go back to the peak! Oh, by the way, I heard the sect is going to hold a newcomer competition. How are your disciples and my grand-disciple doing?"
“Uh…” Yu Ling hesitated, then fell silent. Why bring this up again? Sigh, to be honest, I don’t even know what level my disciple’s cultivation has reached.
