Sing, Dance, Rap

Chapter 35: Sing, Dance, Rap

"Oh, oh," the young man who posted the task was stunned. He quickly took out a pile of wooden plaques and placed them on the table for Xu Zimo to choose from.

Xu Zimo watched Xiao Guizi act tough under false pretenses and didn't stop him. He smiled and asked, "Get me some unrated tasks to look at."

Generally, when outsiders posted tasks in the True Martial Sacred Sect, the task poster didn't know the danger level of some tasks.

Therefore, these types of tasks were classified as unrated.

If a disciple accepted such a task, upon completion, they would receive rewards based on the task's difficulty.

The young man who posted the task nodded and took out another pile of wooden plaques, reminding him, "Senior Brother Xu, the danger level of these tasks is unknown. Please be careful when choosing."

Xu Zimo smiled and nodded. He looked through them, then selected a wooden plaque and held it in his hand.

The task on this wooden plaque was that the Yuan family in Shili Town had been experiencing hauntings recently, and they wanted to invite some martial artists with extraordinary abilities to capture the evil spirits.

Xu Zimo left the task hall with the wooden plaque. Along the way, Lin Ruhu curiously asked, "Brother Zimo, are there really ghosts in this world?"

"It depends on how you define ghosts," Xu Zimo explained with a smile. "Those born of heaven and earth don't exist, but those created by humans do."

At this moment, in the main hall of the True Martial Sacred Sect, the Vice Sect Master Xu Qingshan and the seven elders were all present.

"Vice Sect Master, I think we should allocate a large amount of resources," said the Sixth Elder Xiao Yuexuan. "Xiao'er has inherited the Empress's legacy and obtained the Flying Immortal Physique.

She is definitely qualified to contend for the Mandate of Heaven. Perhaps in this generation, the True Martial Sacred Sect might have another Empress."

"Sixth Elder is being too emotional," said the First Elder beside her. "The Mandate of Heaven is not so easy to contend for. Besides, how long has Bai Li Xiao been in the True Martial Sacred Sect? She has no sense of belonging."

"Oh, so what is the First Elder's opinion?" Xiao Yuexuan asked indifferently.

"Yu'er is the most talented among the younger generation of the Sacred Sect. His Emperor-level talent is evident to all," the First Elder said slowly. "Moreover, he grew up under everyone's watch, so we can wholeheartedly cultivate him."

"I think my eldest disciple, Xiao Xinghe, is also good," the Second Elder interjected.

"Xiao Xinghe is not suitable. I heard he often peeks at the female disciples bathing. His conduct is improper," the First Elder frowned.

The Second Elder was silent for a moment, wanting to defend his eldest disciple.

At this moment, he really wanted to stand up and shout at everyone, "I was the one who peeked at the female disciples bathing, it has nothing to do with my disciple."

But the Second Elder was afraid of ruining his twilight years. He thought to himself, as the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life.

And a father's debt is paid by the son. Thinking this way, the Second Elder felt much better.

He no longer felt any guilt for implicating his disciple.

"What does the Seventh Elder think?" Xu Qingshan pondered for a moment and asked the man who had been silently standing in the corner.

The Seventh Elder of the True Martial Sacred Sect gave off a refined aura, looking like a scholar. He wore a gray robe, and his hair was tied up in a bun.

He didn't possess any overwhelming aura, appearing ordinary, like a common tutor.

The Seventh Elder smiled and replied, "I think Bai Li Xiao's talent is good. If she passes the assessment, she is worth cultivating vigorously.

I heard that the Divine Sun Sacred Sect has already decided on their Holy Son and Holy Daughter candidates and is preparing to cultivate them vigorously to contend for the Mandate of Heaven. We should not fall behind others."

Hearing the Seventh Elder's words, Xiao Yuexuan smiled and said, "The Seventh Elder's disciples, the Five Sons of Myriad Formations, are all exceptionally talented, not much worse than Xiao'er."

"They are not suitable," the Seventh Elder shook his head, saying no more.

"The selection of the Holy Son and Holy Daughter cannot be taken lightly," Xu Qingshan pondered for a moment and said, "Since everyone cannot make up their minds, let's have a competition!"

"I disagree," Xiao Yuexuan objected. "Xiao'er has only been practicing martial arts for a short time. Such a competition would be unfair to her."

"Sixth Elder, there is no such thing as fairness in this world. Moreover, Bai Li Xiao inherited the Empress's legacy, so she might not fall behind much," Xu Qingshan said. "I'm not saying we have to compete right now. In half a year, our True Martial Sacred Sect will hold a competition among the Seven Sects. At that time, we can select the Holy Son and Holy Daughter based on their performance in the grand competition.

After all, we need to make a decision from multiple aspects and cannot solely rely on talent."

Hearing that the competition would be held in half a year, Xiao Yuexuan thought about it and felt that the time was ample, so she agreed.

"I have no objections," the other elders nodded one after another.

After the meeting ended, Xu Qingshan summoned Xu Zimo alone to Qingshan Peak.

"What do you think of that girl Bai Li Xiao today?" Xu Qingshan asked tentatively.

"She's alright," Xu Zimo knew what his father meant.

"I discussed it with the Sixth Elder, and we've decided to betroth her to you," Xu Qingshan said after a moment of silence.

"As expected," Xu Zimo smiled. It was the same script as his previous life!

In his previous life, his first meeting with Bai Li Xiao was at the moment she inherited the Empress's legacy.

He was deeply attracted by her beauty, demeanor, and talent.

When his father prepared to betroth Bai Li Xiao to him, he was overjoyed.

Bai Li Xiao also readily agreed and did not object, everything seemed to happen naturally.

But later, Xu Zimo would realize he was merely a pawn in the other party's game.

At that time, Xu Zimo was like a lovesick puppy, often lingering around the young woman.

She, however, treated him with extreme coldness. Just when Xu Zimo was about to give up in despair, Baili Xiao would give him a little taste of hope, reigniting his spirit.

He was being toyed with in the palm of someone's hand.

Baili Xiao's aunt was the Sixth Elder of the True Martial Sacred Sect. Coupled with being Xu Zimo's fiancée and leveraging Xu Qingshan's influence.

It could be said that she could do whatever she pleased within the entire True Martial Sacred Sect. She gradually grew stronger by utilizing the sect's resources.

Then, once she had truly grown, she uttered a single sentence to break off her engagement with Xu Zimo, turning to embrace her "Brother Chu Yang."

The True Martial Sacred Sect was merely a stepping stone in her life. Perhaps no one expected that this girl from an ordinary mountain village would harbor such ambition.

Recalling the bleak first half of his previous life, Xu Zimo couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"She's not my type," his thoughts returned to the present, and Xu Zimo smiled, refusing.

"What do you like?" Xu Qingshan retorted.

"I like," Xu Zimo paused for a moment, then replied confidently, "singing, dancing, rap, and basketball."
