The First Elder's brow furrowed even more.
Why is it that none of them are cultivating properly?
"Where's Huo Jing? Why isn't even Huo Jing here?"
The elder's face darkened. "He went off to flirt too?"
He had personally overseen the entry of these disciples into the Sect.
Over the years, they Ascetic Cultivation every day without ever slacking off.
Why are they all absent all of a sudden?
A disciple nearby quickly replied, "Brother Huo's parents are having marital problems, or Xiong has been gone for several days now, probably trying to persuade his parents."
The First Elder frowned deeply.
"Strange, what a coincidence!"
He made another round, getting a general understanding of what had happened in the Sect recently.
In just a few days, the inner disciple of the Sect have all become distracted.
There were six couples who simply took a liking to each other and became dao companion.
There are also some who are usually lazy and lethargic, but suddenly become determined to cultivate themselves in the last few days.
The First Elder even had a special talk with a few of them.
They all spoke with righteous indignation, and some even wiped away tears.
"Master Uncle, I never imagined that my parents had such high expectations of me. I have let them down. From now on, I will cultivate diligently and never let them down! I will also make sure my sister's sacrifices for me were not in vain!"
The disciple slapped himself twice across the face. "My sister married someone she didn't love to raise money for me, and I didn't even know! I deserve to die!"
Another disciple stood tall and proud, "I represent the honor of our entire Lineage. I was such a jerk before, I didn't even realize that. Master Uncle, I will work hard in my cultivation from now on!"
The First Elder only felt a headache.
How come you all suddenly realized you were bastards at the same time?
The disciples looked at each other, then gave the same answer.
I only found out by listening to Li Zi thoughts.
Li Zi has been going crazy over gossip lately.
From the First Elder to the dogs passing by the Sect.
Anyone with even a hint of gossip was Li Zi.
Those inner disciple and elders 'Direct Disciple who had reached the Golden Core Stage Cultivation were quite influenced by these gossips.
Moreover, recently, whenever Li Zi sits down to meditate, he starts listening to gossip.
She has a knack for Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, allowing her to multitask and remain completely unaffected by gossip.
But others can't do it.
Once a disciple in the Golden Core Stage enters the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion, they can hear the incessant chatter of Li Zi and the system's voices in their ears.
What's even more outrageous is that every time the system tells its story, it does so vividly, as if the whole thing is unfolding right before their eyes. After listening to part of it, they want to hear what happens next, and before they know it, the allotted two hours have passed.
There's no way to cultivate at all!
This time, the First Elder personally came to the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion.
He also greeted Li Zi, who was walking over unsteadily.
The First Elder looked at Li Zi in surprise, "You've actually reached the peak of the Seventh Level of Qi Refining?"
It's only been a month, and he's already broken through a level!
Although Li Zi had the help of the Sect Master's Essence Blood, the main reason for her great progress was her own hard work in cultivation.
Li Zi smiled obediently and nodded, "Yes, thanks to the senior's Essence Blood, I have made such great progress."
The First Elder sighed softly and shook his head, "It's because you've worked hard; you're truly a good child."
He really likes this girl.
Although she's a bit gossipy, she doesn't have any bad intentions.
Otherwise, with her system possessing precognitive abilities and knowing many people's secrets, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for her to turn the entire Cultivation World upside down?
But she was kind-hearted and not only didn't do that, she sympathized with the weak, respected privacy, and never told anyone this gossip.
Even when talking about the Sect Master, he remembered to leave a note reminding the Sect Master to change his Cultivation Practice Method.
He is truly a person of pure heart.
Although she had plenty of Medicinal Pill and Essence Blood to support her cultivation, she still studied diligently every day.
He actually wanted to keep the little girl at the Flame Hall.
As the First Elder pondered whether the Spirit Sword Sect Master would be given away, he heard Li Zi's inner voice.
[System, whose gossip are we going to hear today?]
[There's gossip at the Fourth Elder, and gossip at the Fifth Elder's place too. Both elders are fond of the same woman; it's quite exciting. We'll talk about it when you're cultivating. After you've finished catching up on this gossip, you'll probably even break through to a higher level.]
Li Zi replied excitedly, "[Okay!]"
The First Elder looked around and indeed saw several familiar inner disciple turn a corner and follow Li Zi into the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion.
How could you not hear the love story of two elders?
This time, the First Elder sat in the main hall of the Gravity Body Tempering Pavilion with a gloomy expression.
Li Zi's heartfelt words kept coming in.
The Fourth Elder and the Fifth Elder were brothers, both masters of Body Tempering. They frequently venturinated into extreme climates to hone their physical abilities. When they were twenty, they met a beautiful woman, a princess of a kingdom, and the two brothers fell deeply in love with her...
The First Elder listened, completely absorbed.
I never imagined that the fourth and fifth brothers had such a past.
It's just unknown who ultimately took the woman away.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew from the side, and the figures of the Second Elder and the Third Elder appeared.
Both of them listened with great interest.
They both realized their feelings for each other, and thus began various open and covert struggles, with fights and brawls being commonplace. Sometimes, they would even start a fight over a trivial matter. After several years, they were both exhausted and decided to confess their love together, hoping the princess would choose one of them to marry. Unexpectedly, before they could even confess, the princess announced her engagement.
