Brother Jiang! Someone Has Come to Challenge the Sect!
There are ten days of rest before the final round of the Wutong Province competition.
During these days, Jiang Lin lived an extremely relaxed life at the Guest Mountain of the Empty Spirit Sect, almost as if he had started his retirement early.
Or rather, Jiang Lin finally experienced what it was like to live in a wealthy sect.
Jiang Lin and his four companions lived in a large courtyard. The layout of the courtyard was exquisite and elegant, and every object could help to gather Spiritual Power and improve their cultivation.
Moreover, the maids serving Jiang Lin and the others were all outer disciples of the Empty Spirit Sect, although their appearances were indeed much less attractive than their master, senior sister, and Little Jia.
However, Jiang Lin felt that it was ultimately due to the fact that his master and the others were just too good-looking; in fact, they really were beautiful.
If this were in my previous life, these maids from the Empty Spirit Sect would debut as idols in no time.
So Jiang Lin and the others slept until they naturally woke up every day, and after waking up, pretty girls would wash their faces and rinse their mouths.
Then these girls will take you to the guest room, where various dishes made with spirit beasts as ingredients will be served.
Spirit beasts can only be born in places with abundant Spiritual Power, but the Spiritual Power of the Sun Moon Sect is already quite scarce, so there are only wild beasts, not spirit beasts.
Jiang Lin had eaten it before, but it was a long time ago. Back then, Jiang Lin was busy working for the Sun Moon Sect and eventually became an "adventurer" hunting for food in the primeval, unknown forests.
That was a life of licking blood from the claws of monsters...
After breakfast (and lunch), it was basically afternoon, so Jiang Lin and the others transformed into little girls picking mushrooms and went up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs.
Sometimes Jiang Lin and his friends could even hunt a deer and have a barbecue that night.
Actually, Jiji Bo and the others thought Jiang Lin's barbecue was the most delicious.
Before Jiang Lin, they had never seen anything like brushing so-called "cumin," "Pepper Powder," and "peanut butter" onto grilled meat!
Paired with the perfectly tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat of the Spirit Deer, without a trace of gamey taste, it's simply the most wonderful thing ever.
Jiang Lin naturally invited the maids in the house to eat with him.
The maids were initially quite resistant, Jiang Lin understood. After all, in this world, barbecue was considered a crude food, the kind that burly men ate.
But the moment they took a bite...
Oh my god!
It smells so good!
Even the maids looked at Jiang Lin differently now, as if they admired him even more. One of the maids who was warming Jiang Lin Jiang Lin's bed didn't want to leave and fell asleep on his bed.
Jiang Lin turned around and closed the door.
Then we went to the room with the Diao Da.
This made the girl sulk all night.
Of course, besides being a lazy bum, Jiang Lin also cultivates himself, for example, by practicing martial arts.
Jiang Lin practiced the Fist Posture a hundred times every day (he had no choice but to do so; before entering the Fourth Realm, if he didn't practice, his Martial Warrior foundation would be damaged).
By the last day, Jiang Lin had a vague feeling that he was about to break through the second realm and advance to the Martial Warrior Third Realm.
However, Jiang Lin was still deliberately suppressing it.
Jiang Lin felt that he had already entered the strongest first and second realms. If he could enter the strongest third realm, his Martial Warrior foundation would definitely be top-notch, and his future Martial Warrior achievements would be even higher.
If the third realm is just ordinary, then all the suffering I endured in the first two realms would have been for nothing.
Therefore, Jiang Lin wanted to ask Madam Chen for her opinion.
Thinking of Madam Chen, Jiang Lin felt that he really owed the Chen Manor a lot, and if he had the opportunity to repay them in the future, he would definitely not refuse.
On the third day after waking up, the day before the Sect Martial Arts Competition, Jiang Lin finally received the newspaper.
Jiang Lin was quite concerned about current events. For example, among the ten teams that had entered the finals, Jiang Lin wondered which one would win the championship. In the end, Jiang Lin decided to bet on his senior sister and Little Jia.
Suppress yourself?
Just kidding, making it to the third round is already incredibly lucky; how could I possibly win the championship?
Don't you want that golden rain to fall?
I want to... how could I not...
But alas...
My own abilities are indeed insufficient.
Besides the predictions from major newspapers about who would win the competition, there were also rumors about Jiang Lin.
At this moment, Jiang Lin finally understood why the Sect Leader the Void Spirit Sect wanted him to leave her granddaughter for a thousand spirit stones.
The newspaper featured a portrait of photographic quality, captured by Recording Crystal, showing Jiang Lin lying in Mo Li's arms...
Jiang Lin couldn't remember the situation clearly at the time! He was completely baffled by how the mission was completed; it seemed like his senior sisters rushed at him, and then he collapsed.
I never expected this system to be so cunning; the one-third probability turned into one hundred percent. I should have accidentally kissed him when I was nestled in Mo Li's arms.
I feel like I need to apologize.
No, it's better not to talk about this. Since it hasn't been exposed, we can pretend it never happened and that we don't even know about it.
It would be really embarrassing to say it out loud!
As Jiang Lin continued flipping through the newspaper, he was jolted awake when he saw the headline of an old gossip newspaper! He sat up abruptly from his armchair as if he had been flipped over by a salted fish!
"Marry a rich and beautiful woman! Reach the pinnacle of life? The Flower-Picking Thief Jiang Lin into the Empty Spirit Sect?"
Looking at these words, Jiang Lin had a bad feeling!
Just then, Diao Da and the others rushed in.
Brother Jiang!
"Brother Jiang! Someone's here to cause trouble!"
"Brother Jiang... those people are going to hang you up and beat you!"
They ran up to Jiang Lin and started chattering amongst Wu Ke.
Instead of being worried and anxious, why did they look like they were enjoying the show, even with a hint of excitement?
"Okay, I understand..."
Looking at the newspaper, Jiang Lin sighed softly.
Without a doubt, this must have been deliberately leaked by the sect Sect Leader of the Empty Spirit Sect; otherwise, how could anyone else have known about their conversation that night?
But the question is, what was his purpose in doing this?
How could this Sect Leader let his granddaughter get involved with a Flower-Picking Thief like himself? Has he lost his mind? Just two days ago he told me to leave Mo Li...
"Forget about those hormone-fueled people, why not just get some sleep? They can't possibly barge in, can they? They'll leave when they're tired."
Jiang Lin lay back in his armchair and continued to bask in the sun.
"Hey? Brother Jiang, don't you want to fight for your lover and beat them to a pulp?"
"Yes, Brother Jiang? The main cultivators of that family now just rush out and kill them in one move."
"Brother Jiang, you should leave now. I checked their cultivation levels; the highest is only the Dragon Gate Realm Late Stage. Brothers, do you really want to Manifestation of Sainthood in front of others?"
Diao Da and the others kept pulling at Jiang Lin.
"Are you kidding? Causing trouble at the Empty Spirit Sect is a golden opportunity to boost my performance; how could I let it slip by?"
"Okay, okay, stop... I really'm not going. I finally get a day off..."
