Feng Guang said, "Senior brother, you have always been in charge of the newly recruited disciples."
So, this is none of her business.
“I know that too, but this year’s new disciples all heard that Master passed the Cold Abyss Sword to you, so unlike previous years, they are clamoring to see you.”
"I have great confidence in my senior brother's ability to soothe children."
"Hey, junior sister, don't be so cold-hearted. Your senior brother here only wants to flit among flowers without getting a single petal on him. Taking care of children has never been my interest. But as the senior brother, I always have to take on some boring tasks." Shang Baizi spoke selflessly, as if he really was such a responsible man.
But Feng Guang remained unmoved, saying, "Senior brother, the capable are always given more work."
"Junior sister, are you really not going to come with me to take a look? There are quite a few handsome boys among this year's new disciples. Maybe you'll find one you like and we can keep him and train him properly."
"Senior brother, please don't let Master hear these words."
"I trust you with your junior sister." Shang Baizi hooked his arm around her shoulder. "You've never been one to tattle, junior sister. Back when I secretly went down the mountain to visit brothels, didn't you keep it a secret from Master for me?"
Feng Guang glanced sideways and said, "So you went to a brothel that day."
"Ahem... Well, a brothel is actually just a place to drink tea." Shang Baizi thought that his junior sister, who had never been down the mountain, didn't know what a brothel was, so he quickly tried to fool her. He then said, "Junior sister, don't be so pretentious. I know you've always liked children. Come on, come on, let's go meet those little brats."
Without saying a word, he grabbed Feng Guang's hand and headed towards the Tai Chi Square. Feng Guang had considered using a lightning strike to split the man in two, but considering their long-standing relationship as fellow disciples, she decided against it.
Every three years, the Xuanmen sect would accept a new batch of disciples. These disciples would then be taken back to their respective branches by the elders who had chosen them. However, after the sect leader Xuan Qingzi gained fame, he stopped accepting disciples.
According to Shang Baizi, the disciples he accepted this year are all quite talented, and several of them stood out from the entrance examination. Feng Guang could tell from his words that he had the idea of taking on disciples. Each disciple could be taken on as soon as they reached the Golden Core stage. In fact, if it weren't for Feng Guang's existence, who seemed to have a cheat code, Shang Baizi would be a genius praised by everyone. He is currently at the Golden Core stage and has only just turned twenty.
At Tai Chi Square, thirty children aged six or seven stood in a row. Each one looked very well-behaved and had delicate, beautiful features. Feng Guang had long suspected that the Xuanmen sect actually recruited people based on their appearance. Even the middle-aged woman cooking in the kitchen still had a charming appearance when she stood out.
Shang Baizi smiled smugly at the group of children and said, "Here, I've found the senior sister you wanted to see."
"Senior Sister!" all the children said in unison, bowing respectfully.
"No need for formalities." Feng Guang chuckled, his voice as cool yet warm as the sunlight atop a snow-capped mountain in March. "Now that you've entered the Xuanmen sect, you will be my junior brothers and sisters. In the Xuanmen sect, remember to avoid competition and private feuds. Be friendly and humble, and diligently cultivate to bring glory to our sect."
"Yes, Senior Sister."
Seeing that Feng Guang was about to leave, Shang Baizi quickly grabbed her, "Junior sister, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Junior brothers and sisters still have many questions to ask you."
Feng Guang looked at the group of children. Apart from one girl with a red ribbon tied in her hair and a golden bell tied with a red ribbon around her waist, who was arrogant and looked down on everyone, the other children all had a naive longing in their eyes.
Her heart softened. "Is there anything you want to ask me?"
Without realizing it, I glanced at the pretty little girl again.
