Chapter 25: The Most Vicious Woman's Heart (Seeking Collection + Votes. New book seeking care!)
When the disciple saw someone approaching, he immediately put on an enthusiastic smile. Upon a closer look at the cultivation level, his expression instantly turned cold: "What are you doing here, a Qi Cultivation level four? Scram, scram, scram, don't delay my important business."
"Senior Brother..." Pei Ling tried to plead, but the disciple had already put on a full smile again and walked past him to greet a Qi Cultivation level six disciple, saying enthusiastically, "This Junior Brother..."
Pei Ling: "..."
He frowned and quickly left to find the next person: "This Senior Sister..."
"Little Junior Brother, are you looking for a team?" The female disciple was not far away and had seen what just happened. Hearing him, she said with a half-smile, "It's just that your cultivation is a bit too low. Taking you out of the sect is quite a troublesome matter..."
These words sounded promising, and Pei Ling immediately perked up: "Senior Sister, then I wonder..."
Before he could finish speaking, his body stiffened. He watched as this Senior Sister, with her sturdy build and fierce face, shamelessly reached out, pinched his waist, and then unceremoniously groped inside his clothes.
What the f*ck!!!
Pei Ling instantly retreated three zhang away: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister, you're right. Junior Brother's cultivation is too low, and he's not worthy of joining your team!"
With that, he turned and ran, afraid of being entangled by her.
Learning from his previous lesson, Pei Ling no longer dared to speak to female cultivators. After observing the crowd for a while, he approached an older male disciple: "This Senior Brother, I..."
"Qi Cultivation level four, want to join a team to go on a mission outside the sect?" The male disciple sized him up. He didn't mean to drive him away, nor did he make any physical advances. Just as Pei Ling breathed a sigh of relief, the disciple extended a hand and said brazenly, "I'll only be responsible for bringing you back and forth, regardless of life or death, and it doesn't count towards the mission. Twenty Low-grade Spirit Stones per trip! Besides bringing you back and forth, I'll try my best to take care of your safety. Forty Low-grade Spirit Stones per trip! The mission counts as yours, and I'll take fifty percent of the mission reward! As for the whole team revolving around you..."
Pei Ling took a deep breath: "...Sorry to have bothered you."
He turned and left without listening to the rest.
What sect rules produce such disciples? All these fellow disciples are more greedy than the last!
If I had this many Spirit Stones, why would I be groveling here with you?
The enraged Pei Ling didn't notice someone watching him from not far away for a while. He suddenly turned and quickly left the miscellaneous affairs hall, then skillfully ran to a courtyard with many flowers planted and a small pond in front of it: "Senior Sister Sun, I just saw that Pei Ling in the miscellaneous affairs hall. Guess what he was doing? He was actually looking for a team to go on a mission outside the sect! Haha, doesn't this guy even look at his own cultivation level? Now all the teams he approached have rejected him. Should we go teach him a lesson?"
Sun Yinglan, who was cultivating and was very displeased at being disturbed, suddenly's eyes lit up.
She had been in the Outer Sect for so many years, relying on her beauty and schemes. It wasn't that she was invincible, but no one had ever dared to treat her like Pei Ling.
After yesterday's incident, even though Pei Hong Nian had humbled himself and sworn oaths, Sun Yinglan was still furious and secretly vowed to get revenge on Pei Ling.
Hearing this, she was about to agree, but after a moment's thought, she suddenly said, "Are you sure he's looking for a team? And he wants to take on a mission outside the sect?"
"Of course, Senior Sister!" the person quickly replied, "I heard it clearly in the crowd! This Pei Ling is clearly an overconfident person. Doesn't he realize why the sect has regulations that missions must be led by someone at Qi Cultivation level six? He might be used to showing off his family background in a small place like the Pei family. He still doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth even after coming to the Sacred Sect..."
"Since that's the case, then I'll help him!" Sun Yinglan interrupted him with a cold laugh and instructed, "Zhao Yan, go to Senior Brother Chen Huan right away and tell him that I've found the last blood sacrifice material for his Soul Summoning Banner. This Pei Ling's talent and aptitude are no less than Pei Hong Nian's, and he's younger with abundant vitality, perfect for his refining."
The messenger, Zhao Yan, was stunned and then said with a hint of jealousy, "This Pei Ling actually has good aptitude? Is Pei Hong Nian an idiot? He should be suppressing such a clansman, yet he brought him into the Sacred Sect."
"Foolish!" Sun Yinglan glared at him and said with a cold laugh, "Although Pei Hong Nian has connections with Senior Brother Zheng in the Inner Sect due to his talent in drawing talismans, with that brain of his, how much respect can he get from Senior Brother Zheng? If he was allowed to bring Pei Ling in as an exception, it must be because Pei Ling has something extraordinary about him. If Pei Ling achieves something, how can he, as the Sect Son of the Pei clan, not benefit from it? Tell Senior Brother Chen this speculation, and Senior Brother Chen will make his own decision."
Seeing Zhao Yan still lost in thought, she stomped her foot and urged, "Hurry up! What if Pei Ling keeps hitting walls and gives up the idea?"
"Oh... Oh... Yes!" Zhao Yan was startled and quickly said, "I'll go find Senior Brother Chen right away."
Not long after, in front of several connected bamboo buildings, a male cultivator with fair skin and a effeminate demeanor raised an eyebrow slightly: "Pei Ling? What's his background? I don't recall hearing about this person from Huaiyin Peak before?"
"Senior Brother Chen, don't worry, this Pei Ling is someone that useless Pei Hong Nian brought from the Pei family," Zhao Yan quickly said. "He's Pei Hong Nian's clansman, and his only connection is being a Pei clan disciple. However, his talent is outstanding, so Pei Hong Nian pleaded with the family and thus dared to ask Senior Brother Zheng to bring him into the sect."
Chen Huan was cautious. Although he had schemed against many fellow disciples to add them to the Soul Summoning Banner to increase the talisman's power, he never provoked those he couldn't afford to offend.
He said noncommittally, "Senior Brother Zheng is arrogant. It is said that he is traveling with Fairy Li on this trip out of the sect. I wonder if Pei Ling, who happened to travel with these two, left any impression on them?"
Let alone Fairy Li, even Zheng Jingshan's status and strength were not worth Chen Huan offending him for a Pei Ling.
Since there were so many Outer Sect disciples, who else could he scheme against?
"Senior Brother, you're overthinking it. Senior Sister Sun has already asked Pei Hong Nian clearly." Zhao Yan knew that Sun Yinglan was determined to make Pei Ling suffer, preferably a fate worse than death. He said, "This Pei Ling was also lucky. At that time, Fairy Li successfully obtained Elder Luo's Nascent Soul Method and was in a good mood. Senior Brother Zheng was also quite happy to see this... Pei Hong Nian seized the opportunity when they were in good spirits and asked, and they casually agreed."
"In fact, when the Xuan Gu Ling Yin Boat landed at the Zhan Chen Platform, neither Fairy Li nor Senior Brother Zheng appeared on deck."
"It shows they didn't care about these two brothers at all."
"Otherwise, why would Senior Sister Sun recommend him to you, Senior Brother? Does Senior Sister Sun want to offend Senior Brother Zheng and Fairy Li?"
Chen Huan pondered for a moment, his brows gradually relaxing. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I owe Junior Sister Sun a favor."
With that, he instructed a female cultivator beside him, who bore some resemblance to him, "Accompany me to the miscellaneous affairs hall."
Meanwhile, in the miscellaneous affairs hall, Pei Ling was lowering his head, quietly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Just moments ago, he had heard someone mention Li Siguan and the other two!
