Chapter 47 The Drunk Guy Stands at Attention
Sadness welled up in his heart. Lin Zhusheng touched the result of his careful kneading again, looked down at his senior brother who was bending over to adjust his belt, and suddenly remembered something very serious. He said, "If I change my appearance one day, will you still recognize me?"
The eldest brother raised his head and said, "I can recognize you no matter what you become."
It sounded like a simple consolation, but it was effective. Lin Zhusheng smiled, turned around to chase the shadow of the bamboo forest shining through the window, and said casually: "Then you must recognize me by then."
After putting on the clothes, he hung the jade pendant, and that was when he was truly dressed. The eldest brother asked him to stand up and take a look.
Lin Zhusheng stood up, turned left and right, and felt a magical sense of ease that he had never felt before.
The blue hem of her dress hung down, letting in the light from the window as she moved. Her soft hair hung in front of her body, contrasting sharply with the moon-white lining. When she moved slightly, it swept across the jade pendant at her waist, and the dark blue tassel of the jade pendant moved with it.
This is how the dress looks like when worn correctly. He withdrew his previous condemnation of the design of the disciple uniform, apologized to the clothes in his heart, thanked the kind-hearted senior brother, and took out the orchid flowers and snacks that he always carried with him.
The eldest brother took the snacks.
After walking around the yard and the house, Lin Zhusheng was very happy. After checking the time, he did not disturb his senior brother any longer and set off to look for other friends.
He was quite busy today. He had to visit several of his friends' places so that they could visit each other in the future. He also wanted to explore the hills in Neimen that had not been developed before.
After a day of roaming outside, it was almost dark when he returned to Jingsi Peak. The lights on several peaks had been lit up one after another, and the yellow light was faintly visible around his waist.
There must have been quite a lot of disciples who made mistakes today. The Great Elder came back even later than him, just in time for dinner.
This elder, who sometimes has a good eye, noticed the moment he sat down that his clothes seemed very different from this morning and looked much more pleasing to the eye.
After swallowing the food in his mouth, his disciple Lin praised him for his good eyesight, and then said: "My senior brother helped me put it on. It looks good, doesn't it?"
“…”
The Great Elder paused while drinking his tea and asked, "Big Brother?"
He already had a vague idea of who he was referring to, but out of rigor, he still asked for confirmation and said, "That Ling Xu Jun Wen Baizhou on the Sect Master Peak?"
Lin Zhusheng nodded, showed it in all directions, and said, "His hands are amazing."
This dress doesn't look so pleasing to the eye.
No matter how good the relationship between ordinary fellow apprentices is, it would not be good enough to help each other put on clothes, especially Ling Xujun who is kept a distance from everyone else. The elder's brows twitched, and the words that were in his throat brewed for a long time. Finally, he swallowed them all, tactically drank a sip of tea, raised his eyelids and asked other questions: "I remember you planted orchid flowers in your yard..."
"It's amazing that you can recognize it despite its appearance," Lin Zhusheng was a little surprised at first, then nodded and said with a smile, "That's a gift for Senior Brother."
To be precise, it is expected to be given to the eldest senior brother, but not necessarily. If the eldest brother doesn't like the flower, he may give it to someone else who may like it.
“…”
After receiving an answer without hesitation and in the affirmative, the Great Elder's beard trembled again and again. Finally, he took a big gulp of tea and uttered "Is that so" from his throat.
Although the Great Elder usually didn't talk much, Lin Zhusheng felt that he seemed particularly silent tonight, as if he had something on his mind. Thinking that he was a considerate disciple, he gave him an extra sweet snack.
With the sweet snack in hand, the Great Elder looked at him and seemed to be even more worried.
From one day on, Wen Baizhou noticed that when he occasionally met the Great Elder, the other's face, which had never had a good expression to begin with, became noticeably more uglier after seeing him.
Only the old man himself knew what he was thinking. Lin Zhusheng didn't notice. After a day's rest, he went back to practicing sword, sleeping in the academy, and wandering around the mountains and fields like a savage.
Because there were fewer inner sect disciples, their group of six could set up a new school. He sat surrounded by his friends and slept soundly.
The only difference is sword practice. He went from being able to blend in with other disciples to becoming an expert in one-on-one practice. He practiced with the elders every day, making sure to learn every move before teaching it to his direct disciples.
The good news is that although he needs to be taught, it is not now. A secret realm has opened in the South China Sea, and his level is just within the range that allows him to enter the secret realm. He has successfully obtained the opportunity to experience a few days of tour in the secret realm. After returning from the experience, he will start his life as a handyman.
Normally they practice sword skills on their respective peaks. The academy is the time when disciples from all peaks gather together. The third elder who is in charge of the secret realm trip completes the selection of disciples going to the South China Sea in the academy.
The secret realm has a strength limit, and people at the Nascent Soul stage and above are prohibited from entering. In other words, only people within level 20 can enter. At the same time, in order to ensure the personal safety of the disciples, the sect sets a minimum limit, and disciples who have not reached the Core Formation stage are not allowed to go.
He was just stuck in the middle, along with Song Ming. The other four friends did not have the strength and left with regret.
The secret realm will open in three days. They have half a day to pack up and gather at the training ground on time the next morning.
He got up early and originally wanted to leave directly by himself, but the Great Elder had already woken up and sent him all the way to the training ground. Before leaving, he still reminded him: "There are people from other sects in the secret realm this time. Chen Jinghao from the Weapon Sect is frivolous, so you'd better not have too much contact with him."
"Don't worry if someone is causing trouble, just..."
The chicken's eyes were barely open yet, and Lin Zhusheng didn't care whether he heard clearly or not. He just nodded and stood unsteadily.
After hearing the end, he felt something stuffed in his hand. His eyes, which were about to close due to sleepiness, finally opened a little and saw a miniature jade-like object.
The great elder said: "This is a voice transmission jade pendant. If you encounter any problems, you can inject spiritual power into it at any time and find me at the first opportunity."
After being slightly sobered up by the jade token, Lin Zhusheng took a closer look at the jade token in his hand and said, "Eh," "My senior brother seems to have given me one too."
“…”
The great elder’s beard twitched.
The one who finally interrupted the conversation was the Third Elder. He walked up to the First Elder, who had been giving endless instructions for a long time, and slapped him, then took his apprentice Lin away.
It’s different to have a beloved disciple. Even if you can’t finish talking to him for a long time, he still has to take action.
Lin Zhusheng was carried onto the flying boat by the third elder. The upside is that it's effortless, but the downside is that he attracts a lot of attention.
He has always been thick-skinned, and after the flying boat was put down, he immediately jumped up and down on the spot, looking very energetic. He also politely greeted all the disciples who came over.
Finally, two disciples arrived, and everyone was present, and the flying boat set off.
After arriving at the destination, they did not go to the secret realm immediately. There was still some time for rest. The third elder leading the team was not in a hurry to talk about matters related to the secret realm. All disciples could arrange their own time on the flying boat.
Master Lin, who is keen on socializing, did not hang out with his friends after saying hello, but instead found an empty corner and squatted down, spending some time alone.
He didn't want to enjoy the rare time alone, but he had to find time to think about his face-pinching card.
After his careful calculations, he estimated that on the day he returned from the secret realm, he would have to perform a miracle in front of his fellow disciples. For his own sake and for the sake of his fellow disciples, he had to think of a solution that was friendly to both parties.
Feeling that it was a good time to make money, the kitten jumped out of the clothes and sincerely suggested: "Why not buy another half-year face-pinching card."
It said: "Although I have to pinch my face again, I guess no one will remember what your face looks like exactly, as long as it's roughly the same." Or it could be said that even the person himself doesn't remember what he looks like.
The half-year face-shaping card does not cost 998, but only 9998 gold, and installment payment is supported.
Lin Zhusheng said succinctly: "Cancel the subscription."
Even if he put in his entire fortune, it wouldn't be enough to buy a card, and it's only been half a year, and he doesn't like that face to that extent.
Kitten: “Oh.”
Lin Zhusheng supported his chin and thought, then suddenly leaned over and shook the kitten, saying, "Otherwise, I am some kind of abnormal creature, and I will start to change after a certain period of time."
It's just different from ordinary perverted creatures, only its face is perverted.
Kitty condensed her language: "Then they will see you as a pervert."
Lin Zhusheng sat back down, "Oh."
The result of discussing all the way was that nothing was agreed upon in the end. When the flying boat was about to arrive at the destination, Lin's mind was empty and the only four words in his mind were "abnormal development".
He didn't go to find his friend Song Ming, but Song Ming took the initiative to find him, and they prepared to get off the flying boat together.
The South China Sea was far away from the sect, having completely passed the territory of the Tian Sect and entered the territories of the Qi Sect, Hehuan Sect and other sects. They set out early in the morning and arrived near sunset, landing at a port where flying boats were docked.
When you step off the flying boat, you will feel the wind blowing towards you from the water, accompanied by the sound of waves. The lights at the port have been turned on, reflecting on the water, creating waves of light.
There was also a manager coming with them this time. He arrived before them yesterday and arranged accommodation. He was already waiting at the port and could be seen as soon as they got off the flying boat.
After confirming that everyone had disembarked, the flying boat shrank on the spot and was taken into the hands of the elder. The steward greeted them and led them to the inn where they were staying while briefly explaining the current situation: "The people staying in the same inn with us are the Qi Sect and the Hehuan Sect. They arrived yesterday. There are also other sects. Almost all the ones that can be named have arrived."
This secret realm in the South China Sea opens once every few years, and the opening time is random. There are many good things in it, and every sect will send disciples to explore it. The inn here has not been open for a few years. It has been open for a few years since it opened, and now it is fully occupied by people from various sects.
What the steward said is true. From the port to the street, there were obviously more people on the street. At a glance, they were all wearing disciples' uniforms of various styles and colors, like a sect's big score venue.
Tianzong was not short of money, and the inn he booked was in the center of the street, which was the most conspicuous and elegant one at first glance.
This was the third time that Player Lin went out to play after joining the game. He completely forgot about the face-pinching card that he was still figuring out on the flying boat. He had a great time, looking left and right on the street with his friend Song Ming, as if it was the first time he came to the city from the countryside.
Before actually stepping into the door of the inn, the Third Elder stopped and remembered something important. He turned his head and glanced at the disciples, reminding them, "Don't provoke the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, regardless of whether they are men or women."
Then he added: "It would be best if disciples of the Qi Sect don't want it either."
The disciples were in high spirits and responded quickly.
It is only fast when this kind of verbal agreement is given. The third elder patiently gave instructions again, and finally let the group of disciples enter the gate.
As soon as they saw the steward go out, they guessed that it was the people from Tian Sect who had arrived. The elders from Hehuan Sect and Qi Sect were already waiting in the lobby of the inn, and they stood up when they saw people come in.
Several elders went to reminisce about the past, while the steward took a group of disciples to assign rooms.
Lin Zhusheng was assigned a room on the second floor. When he got the key, he weighed it casually and felt it was light and weightless.
There was nothing special about the room. It just had a bed, a table, a bathtub and decorative screens. It was no different from the hotels I had stayed in before, except that it looked more elegant in some ways.
Everything was in his backpack, so there was nothing to pack. After taking a tour, he went downstairs.
The other disciples seemed to be in the same situation. When he went downstairs, a bunch of people were already sitting in the lobby.
Although the elders had previously warned the disciples not to provoke people from the Hehuan Sect and the Qi Sect, the fact was that they provoked them as soon as they entered the sect, or were provoked by them. The three completely different types of disciple uniforms were mixed together, and there was no sense of boundaries as the elders had expected.
Lin Zhusheng looked around and saw his friend in the crowd, as well as a group of disciples from the Hehuan Sect who had surrounded his friend at some point in time.
As expected of the Hehuan Sect, none of them seems to have social phobia and they are all very friendly.
There was no expression on the little friend's face. Judging from the frequency of his lips, it seemed that he was speaking word by word and had begun to enter a perfunctory state.
He still remembered that the other party almost blurted out "get out" after he became perfunctory when dealing with other people who were equally enthusiastic at the outer door. He jumped down the stairs in three or two steps, squeezed into the center of the crowd, and patted the servant on the shoulder.
The familiar blue and white sleeves slid past his eyes. Song Ming turned his head and raised his eyes to meet a smiling face.
Like the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, he was not afraid of socializing. He did not sit down, but casually put one hand on his friend's shoulder, using his body to physically separate his friend from others, and greeted the surrounding disciples at the same time.
He greeted them as naturally as if they had known each other for eight hundred years. The people around him hadn't reacted yet and responded in a daze. When they came to their senses, they realized that this was a face they had never seen before.
Or it could be said to be a face that could be seen on any street. But the jade token around his waist was not ordinary. Others could not see it, but the disciples of the Hehuan Sect who often sought out the disciples of the Sword Sect to practice dual cultivation could recognize that it was the jade token of a direct disciple.
After a conversation, it was discovered that this person was actually the first disciple accepted by the Tianzong's grand elder in a hundred years.
It’s not quite what I imagined. The Hehuan Sect disciple, who had a deep-rooted obsession with looks, glanced over the face that had no distinctive features and withdrew his gaze with a little disappointment. He looked back at the rarely encountered young master of the Song family and began to try to flirt with him with words.
Lin Zhusheng reached out and patted his friend on the shoulder. He said with a smile: "Don't be fooled by his outgoing face. He doesn't talk much. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me. I quite like chatting."
Finally realizing that the young master of the Song family could not be pried open, the Hehuan Sect disciple said goodbye and left without wasting any more words, believing that time is money.
He said goodbye and left, but only halfway. Some people actually stayed and sat down to chat with him.
No longer having to separate the little friends from the others, Lin Zhusheng also sat down and chatted animatedly with those who stayed behind.
People at the table would laugh from time to time, and when they were chatting till they were tired, the waiter would bring them some tea and snacks.
The snacks were limited to certain regions and could not be easily reproduced, so they were pushed in front of Lin Zhusheng.
He had never ordered this before. He thought for a moment, then turned to look at the person next to him and asked, "Did you order this?"
Song Ming nodded and said, "I think you might want to try it."
It’s just that there were too many people in the store, so we had to wait until now to finish it.
I really want to try it, thank you, AAA professional dim sum tasting Master Lin.
Several Hehuan Sect disciples hit it off with him right away and were about to become sworn brothers with him. They talked about everything from Hehuan Sect gossip to the trivia about their senior sisters and the young leader of Qi Sect, without pausing in between.
When the Young Master of Qi Sect was mentioned, Lin Zhusheng took a bite of his snack, looked around, and asked curiously, "Why can't I see him?"
He remembered that people from Qi Zong also lived here.
A disciple looked over and saw no one, so he said, "We saw him today. It seemed that he was going out for a walk with his sisters."
The young leader of the Weapon Sect does not practice dual cultivation, he just appreciates pretty faces and plays for fun. He has a good relationship with several senior sisters in the sect and they often go out to play together.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside the door. Amid the voices, there was the sound of footsteps. A bustling group of people crossed the threshold of the inn from the street. The noise was so loud that the woman's laughter could be heard from a distance.
Just as the young sect leader was mentioned, the young sect leader himself arrived.
After going out for a walk, Chen Jinghao was already drunk and unsteady on his feet. Holding a wine jug in one hand and holding Senior Sister Hehuan in the other, the group of people walked into the inn staggeringly, laughing.
After entering, he found that there were more disciples of Tianzong in the lobby. He scanned the crowd with a pair of misty and drunken eyes. After retracting his gaze, he put his arm around the beauty's shoulders and took another sip of wine.
"……?"
Halfway through drinking, he realized something a beat late. He continued to drink, and stiffly turned his drunken eyes back to look in the direction of the crowd.
It was just right, it was not an illusion. He met the faint gaze from the crowd and saw a pair of clear pupils of a familiar light color.
“…”
With a snap, inexplicably, Chen Jinghao quickly withdrew his hand from the beauty's shoulders and stood at attention.
