Lu Xun looked at Second Senior Sister's Wooden Hairpin, his thoughts began to wander, and the more he thought about it, the more skewed they became.

He thought that Second Senior Sister's hair was styled with this Wooden Hairpin after she coiled it up. Doesn't that mean... if Second Senior Sister used his Wooden Sword, her black hair would fall down and flutter in the wind?

As he thought about it, he actually had a visual image in his mind.

Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei didn't stay in the Bamboo Forest for too long. After saying goodbye to Second Senior Sister, they returned to the Small Study.

Having satisfied her appetite, Mao Nanbei was in a good mood after eating her fill, and she was skipping and jumping as she walked.

Moreover, her cat-like nature still existed, and she always liked to dart around.

Apart from not letting Lu Xun pet her fur, she really gave him the feeling of raising a cat-eared girl.

When passing by the Jujube Tree, she picked a few more jujubes, wiped them on the corner of Lu Xun's clothes, and ate them.

She always had an expression of enjoyment when she ate, as if she was easily satisfied.

She was usually as lazy as a puddle of mud, but she was diligent when it came to eating.

This directly confirmed the saying: "Useless at everything else, but number one when it comes to eating."

Not long after returning to the Small Study, Demon Sect Master Shen Yan arrived.

He had been coming to the Back Mountain quite frequently recently, mainly to subtly inquire—how many Qi Seas did Little Martial Grand-Aunt see when breaking through the second level of the Qi Devouring Art?

He and several Peak Lords had a bet, and everyone had placed quite hefty wagers, and he was hoping to make a profit.

But, as the Sect Master, he couldn't appear too idle, even though he really wasn't that busy... Therefore, every time he came to the Back Mountain, he had to find a reasonable excuse.

For example, this time the reason was: the Outer Sect Elders were organizing the Outer Sect Disciples to go on an experience trip, and they wanted to ask if Little Martial Grand-Aunt was interested in participating.

The Outer Sect Disciples' experience trips were mainly divided into two categories: one was to train within the sect, such as competing in martial arts or chuang chuang jin zhi (Barging through the restrictions is a Chinese idiom that means to break through restrictions or barriers), and the other was to go down the mountain for training.

To put it simply, it was a bit like regular exams in school.

Being an Outer Sect Disciple in the sect was similar to being a student at school.

Disciples who performed well could also receive some rewards, such as Elixirs or Magic Items.

Logically speaking, although Lu Xun was still in the cultivation period of the Qi Devouring Art, and was even weaker than many Outer Sect Disciples, his status was what it was, so he shouldn't participate, nor was it suitable for him to participate.

If he performed well during the experience trip, it seemed difficult, after all, he had only been cultivating for a short time.

If he didn't perform well, it would be a bit embarrassing, after all, he was Teacher's disciple, and the Little Martial Grand-Aunt of the Demon Sect Disciples.

But since he wanted to find a reason to come to the Back Mountain to chat with Lu Xun, Shen Yan hadn't planned to let Lu Xun go in the first place.

If the content of this experience trip wasn't so special, he would have even felt embarrassed to use such a clumsy excuse.

Lu Xun was listening to Shen Yan's explanation, nodding perfunctorily, pretending that he was listening attentively. But as he nodded, he suddenly froze.

"I actually triggered a task." Lu Xun was immediately delighted.

Thinking about it carefully, for the Outer Sect Disciples, this was an experience trip, but for the game, wasn't this just a task!

After carefully checking the task details, Lu Xun was a little confused.

The task content was very simple, it just asked you to take a pen and then draw and write. The only special thing was... this pen used to be Teacher's Brush.

Apart from that, there was nothing special about this task, on the contrary, it vaguely made people feel a bit silly.

Led by the Outer Sect Elder, with a group of disciples, standing in a row, taking turns to pick up the pen and draw... just thinking about it felt silly.

The number of Outer Sect Disciples participating in this experience trip would definitely not be small, the one at the end of the line would probably have to wait for a long time...

However, since it was said to be an experience trip, the process would definitely not be so easy, and there should be hidden mysteries.

Although the task didn't explicitly state it, the reward of a rich 1000 experience points couldn't be so easy to obtain.

And the task requirement was just to pick up that pen, insist on drawing for five minutes, and then it was over.

Obviously, there was definitely something wrong with this pen.

The most interesting thing was that this task also had a completion rate. Insisting for five minutes only counted as 20% completion, and insisting for 25 minutes counted as 100% completion.

In other words, 20% completion would give 1000 experience points, and if it was 100% complete, that would be 5000 experience points!

For Lu Xun, 5000 experience points were too tempting! It was equivalent to 250 days of his hard cultivation!

Driven by his desire for experience points and curiosity about the Teacher's Brush, Lu Xun said, "Sect Master, I want to participate in this trial."

This surprised Shen Yan somewhat.

He was just looking for an excuse to probe, but he didn't expect Lu Xun to actually be interested.

Since Little Martial Grand-Aunt was interested, what else could he do?

Arrange it!

As for the subsequent probing, Lu Xun was already resistant. No matter how Shen Yan subtly inquired, he just played Tai Chi.

It would be too embarrassing if he hadn't seen any Qi Sea at all. He was probably the first in the history of the Demon Sect to establish a sect without one.

But to open his eyes and lie, bragging that he saw a Qi Sea like a great river… he could indeed brag about it.

But he was afraid of digging a hole for himself, so he simply kept silent.

Speak less, scheme more, that's the way to go.

Seeing that Lu Xun kept his mouth shut, Shen Yan knew that this gamble was a bust. The thought of having paid 500 Spirit Stones made his heart ache.

On the other hand, Lu Xun was in a good mood. His current experience points were [150/1000]. He only gained 20 points a day through meditation, which was boring. It would be great to have a task to do.

Besides, he hadn't seen Ji Li in a long time, and this Outer Sect task was a good opportunity to meet her.

He had promised to visit her, but he hadn't actually gone even once.

Heh, men.

"It's time to relax in the Outer Sect," Lu Xun thought to himself.

He was the Little Martial Brother with the worst cultivation, and thus had no status.

He couldn't even sleep well at night, and had to "enjoy" Second Senior Sister's loving flogging, being stabbed by that sword intent over and over again. His bedsheets got wet dozens of times a night, and he was living a bit hard.

But it was different outside the Back Mountain. Ordinary disciples would have to call him Little Martial Grand-Aunt when they met him, and he could also see Ji Li, so it wouldn't seem like he didn't keep his word.

Moreover, bullying Ji Li was a pleasant thing to do.

When bullying people, you have to pick soft persimmons. Ji Li was a particularly good persimmon, soft and easy to pinch, with a great feel.

Thinking of this, a warm smile appeared on Lu Xun's handsome face.

Thank you all for your strong support and votes this week. We are currently number one on the signed list, which is a bit cool. I really like being on top.

Then I'll promote a book, "Outstanding Youth of the Great Ming," a dirty py deal, you know.
