"Why did you change my data!" Chu Xinxin gritted her teeth. "I don't believe I'm the only one in this world who calls his name."
[It's true you're not the only one, but you're the first in nearly two thousand years. The last person to call him that just recently passed her 2021st year of single life.]
Chu Xinxin: ......
[Don't worry, sister. I'll definitely find you a good candidate. We'll succeed next time.]
The system diligently fulfills its responsibilities, acting as a caring and considerate companion.
"How do you assess the progress of this task?"
[The level of favorability you receive from your blind date directly correlates to the amount of energy you accumulate. The more energy you gain, the more powerful your cheat abilities will be in this world and the next. In other words, altering your data isn't entirely without its benefits.]
"I think that mama's boy really likes me..."
He's just lusting after your looks. Of course, you can try to seduce him, but... are you willing? Won't you feel wronged?
Damn it, she'll never be allowed to try and win over that guy!
Chu Xinxin clutched her head in anguish. Today, not only did she fail her blind date and get struck by lightning, but she also went bankrupt and used up all the newbie packs the system had given her. Her energy limit had increased, but the difficulty had increased a hundredfold.
After this incident, Chu Xinxin's direct superior, the second steward of Siyinge, told her to go back and rest.
Chu Xinxin left, clutching her heart riddled with wounds.
Chu Xinxin had nightmares all night about failing her blind date and being struck by lightning every day, and the next morning she was late.
When she flew to the street where Siyinge was located, she found that the air was under a forbidden spell. She put away her fire phoenix and walked. The street was full of people, and the entrance was surrounded by crowds.
Chu Xinxin struggled to squeeze in and pulled Ya Wen aside to ask what happened.
“You forgot? The new pavilion master is coming today. We’re standing at the door to greet him. Here, take this, these are your flowers.”
After Ya Wen finished speaking, she handed Chu Xinxin a bouquet of flowers. Chu Xinxin looked around and saw that the beautiful female cultivators of Siyinge were standing in two rows on both sides of the door.
Holding flowers like elementary school students from a real world, they waved their bouquets and shouted "Welcome, welcome, a warm welcome!" when the leaders appeared...
Chu Xinxin was complaining to the system about the second steward's aesthetic sense when suddenly a dragon's roar came from the sky.
A colossal five-clawed black dragon approached from afar, riding on auspicious purple clouds. Its eyes were like lamps, its whiskers fluttered, and its jet-black scales gleamed with a cold light. Standing atop its head was Xiao Linyi, the half-immortal from Zichen Palace, the True Man Zichen.
Ignoring the forbidden technique, Xiao Linyi flew directly into the Siyin Pavilion through the crowded gate, put away the black dragon, and landed in the main hall of the Siyin Pavilion.
When his attempt to flatter failed, the second steward hurriedly lifted his robe and followed him inside.
"Did you get a good look at him?"
"No, I was only looking at the dragon. Did you see it?"
"Me neither, sigh, what a wasted trip."
Two middle-aged women standing behind Chu Xinxin were exchanging their experiences at the "meet-and-greet," which Chu Xinxin didn't notice. She and Ya Wen went to the drum workshop hand in hand and heard that a new batch of male cultivators had been recruited, all of whom were tall, had long legs, and eight-pack abs.
Just as they were engrossed in watching, they suddenly received a message from the second steward in the group, saying that the position of head steward was vacant and that anyone interested should go to him to register.
The head steward is a position that assists the pavilion master in managing all affairs of the Siyin Pavilion, and is second only to the pavilion master.
The previous head steward retired to his hometown two months ago, and the second steward had no interest in it, so the position of head steward has remained vacant.
"Who is the Pavilion Master? Who would be willing to be the head steward?"
Ya Wen put away the communication talisman and sighed regretfully. If it weren't for Xiao Linyi, she would have liked to try, since the head steward could receive a lot of spirit stones every month.
“Getting close to him will bring misfortune.” Chu Xinxin deeply agreed.
"That's right. If the second steward hadn't said he'd give me triple my monthly allowance this month, I wouldn't have gone to the door to hold the flowers this morning."
"Why were there so many people gathered at the entrance this morning? Aren't they afraid of getting tainted by bad karma?"
"They are all mortals who cannot cultivate immortality."
Chu Xinxin is the head of the Qin Workshop, and Ya Wen is the head of the Pipa Workshop. Their immediate superior, the Second Steward, is busy helping the Pavilion Master familiarize himself with the affairs of Siyin Pavilion, so the two of them start to slack off.
After slacking off for a few days, the two became increasingly unrestrained and were no longer satisfied with just staying in the pavilion.
Just as Chu Xinxin was about to sneak off with Ya Wen to the street corner to buy the newly released tea and snacks, the second steward suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Chu Xinxin without saying a word, and pulled her inside.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, let's talk this out. It's my fault for slacking off at work, but Ya Wen did it too, why are you only catching me? A gentleman uses words, not fists..."
Uncle Liu turned around with a look that said, "You should thank me." He said, "Xin Xin, don't forget Uncle Liu now that you've made it big."
Chu Xinxin was completely confused: "What's going on?"
"The position of chief steward of our Siyin Pavilion is vacant. The pavilion master said that since you and he suffered the same heavenly lightning, and your karma is already intertwined, then you should be the chief steward."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xinxin grabbed the pillar next to her with her other hand and held on tightly.
"I won't go. My cultivation is low and my experience is shallow. What qualifications do I have to be the head steward of the Half-Immortal Pavilion Master?"
The second steward tried to pull her away, but couldn't, so he called Ya Wen to pry her hands off.
As Ya Wen continued, she said, "Better to sacrifice a fellow Daoist than myself, Xin Xin. Your sacrifice has given hope to all the single male and female cultivators in the entire sect. We will be grateful to you!"
The three of them were pulling and tugging at each other under the corridor. Chu Xinxin cried and shouted, "I don't want to! Uncle Liu, please find someone else to let me go. I don't want to be single for six thousand years!"
Sister, look ahead...
Suddenly, a soft, cute little boy's voice rang out from the system.
Chu Xinxin subconsciously looked forward and first caught a glimpse of a corner of clothing. Following the clothing upwards, she suddenly saw a cold and arrogant face with thin lips pressed tightly together and long, deep eyes half-open, standing on the high steps looking down at the three of them.
Chu Xinxin was startled, intimidated by his imposing presence, and unconsciously loosened her grip.
Liu Bo was overjoyed and grabbed her, wanting to continue walking inside. But when he saw the person, he exclaimed in surprise, "Sect Master!"
I'm going to die.
Chu Xinxin thought to herself, "How could I have mocked someone for being a lifelong bachelor in front of the big boss?"
The three of them stood quietly in a row, with Chu Xinxin's head almost touching her belly button.
"Sect Master, this is Chu Xinxin, and this is Yawen. I have brought them to you. I will go and help Xinxin move her things to Weixin Palace."
The second steward had no immediate plans to divorce, and after saying that, he and Ya Wen quickly slipped away from Xiao Linyi, who was radiating a strong "single" buff, leaving Chu Xinxin to bear the wrath of the immortal alone.
Xiao Linyi didn't say anything, gave Chu Xinxin a cold look, and then turned and left.
Chu Xinxin steeled herself and followed.
Xiao Linyi wore a silver-white, gold-embroidered, vertical-collar robe with wave patterns, buttoned up to the top. The sleeves were wide and smooth, and the water ripples embroidered with silver thread on the robe shimmered and dazzled.
He walked very fast, but his clothes were not disheveled at all. Chu Xinxin secretly straightened her clothes.
Back at the Weixin Palace, Xiao Linyi tossed a book to Chu Xinxin.
"Copy it three times and hand it in tomorrow morning."
Chu Xinxin looked down and saw the eight characters "New Siyin Pavilion Code of Conduct".
[Sister, I've done the calculations for you. This book is 16mo, weighs 2.5 jin (1.25 kg), has 800 pages, and contains 2.13 million words. At a copying speed of 3000 words per hour, it would take you 710 hours, or roughly 29.58 days, to finish copying it once.]
The system spoke with unwavering conviction—
In other words, he's making things difficult for you.
