After leaving Tang Xin’s room, on the way back, Su Ling kept pondering the meaning of her words.
“You are a little pig.”
First of all, this sentence definitely doesn’t mean its literal sense.
It’s undeniable that she is not a little pig. No matter how angry Tang Xin gets, she wouldn’t confuse a person with a pig.
So, could this “pig” represent something else?
Wait, why did she say this to me?
No, I need to put the apology on hold. Next time, I must ask her what she meant by that!
…
“If I can’t avoid conflicts with the beautiful heroine, then I’ll just reduce the number of times I meet her,” Tang Xin slapped her thigh and said, “I really am a genius!”
As for counterattacking or seizing the heroine’s opportunities, don’t even think about it. Didn’t you see that even with a ninety-nine percent chance, a Qi Refining fifth rank could counterattack and kill a Foundation Building like me? Even if it was during some indescribable act…
If you dare to go off-script, you’ll be sent back to start over!
After praising herself in her mind for a while, Tang Xin began to assess her own situation.
Not her physical stats, but other aspects.
The system’s attribute panel popped up at the right time.
【Name: Tang Xin
Age: Seventeen
Cultivation: Foundation Building fifth rank
Main Cultivation Method: Five Elements Technique
Mastered Techniques: Fireball Technique, Water Arrow Technique, Metal Blade Technique, Earth Wall Technique, Wood Growth Technique.
Ultimate Move: Cold Smile (Smiling coldly at the opponent, reducing their combat power by thirty percent, except for certain special individuals and the blind)】
Ultimate Move Two: Trash Talk (Insult your opponent as trash, reducing their fighting spirit by 50%, except for certain individuals and the deaf).
I have to admit, these two ultimate moves from the villain seem pretty powerful…
[Current Main Quest: The Xuanling Sect is preparing for the triennial disciple competition. As the top disciple of the sect, you should inspect the construction of the arena in a timely manner.]
[Main Quest Reward: Melee Combat Manual “Five Elements Fist”]
So, this system can actually be useful? I thought it was just here to mess with me!
The system’s name must be wrong. It shouldn’t be called “Wish You Peace,” it should be “Ensure Your Safety.” Doesn’t that sound much better?
The disciple competition is an opportunity for the Xuanling Sect’s disciples to shine.
If an outer disciple performs exceptionally, they can be promoted to an inner disciple. If an inner disciple ranks high and is chosen by an elder, they can become a personal disciple.
Conversely, if a personal disciple is defeated by an outer or inner disciple, their reputation will plummet, and they might even be demoted or abandoned by the elders.
Su Ling, the personal disciple who hasn’t made any progress in three years, naturally becomes the target of countless disciples eager to challenge him.
And the outcome? Anyone can guess what happens…
“Those who insult others will be insulted in return!” “I am no longer the trash you see me as!” “One? No, I’ll take on three!”
Well, that’s all three months from now. The disciple competition is still three months away.
“Anyway, it’s never wrong to improve my own strength.”
Tang Xin pushed open the door, smiled at the two Xuanling Sect female disciples guarding the entrance, and walked towards the main gate of the sect.
The two female disciples were so frightened that they didn’t dare to move.
“We’re doomed, Senior Sister Tang smiled at us!”
“When Senior Sister smiles, life and death are unpredictable! Should we pack up and run away?”
In the eyes of the disciples, she was petty, calculating, and vindictive. Anyone who crossed her would face her varied forms of revenge.
But to the elders, she was talented, quick to cultivate, and had a knack for managing the disciples, fully living up to the title of Chief Disciple.
The Chief Disciple didn’t need to be the strongest among the disciples, but they had to be the best at “management.”
As for the methods of management? That varied from person to person, didn’t it?
“Hello, Senior Sister.”
“Greetings, Senior Sister.”
As she arrived at the main gate, the outer sect disciples dressed in plain white robes all greeted her nervously.
A few days ago, an outer sect disciple had passed by Senior Sister Tang without noticing her and forgot to greet her. For this “violation of sect rules,” Tang Xin had him flogged with two hundred strokes. He was still sweeping the grounds at the foot of the mountain.
Even though they were all cultivators with strong bodies, being flogged two hundred times was enough to take half a life!
“Senior Sister, you look as beautiful as ever today!”
“Ah, Senior Sister, my dear Senior Sister Tang!”
Many inner sect disciples in white robes with blue trim tried to catch her attention with compliments.
From past experience, although Senior Sister Tang never explicitly said she liked flattery, those who often flattered her rarely got punished.
On the other hand, those who frequently contradicted her were always bullied… just like Su Ling.
“Hello, everyone.”
Tang Xin thought it would be impolite not to acknowledge the compliments, so she waved at them.
“It’s over!”
“Why am I so unlucky!”
“A smile from Senior Sister, and life or death is uncertain!”
“Apologize quickly, maybe there’s still a chance to survive!”
“What do you mean? I can’t even smile at you guys? Do I have to keep a stern face to make you happy?”
“No more smiling!”
“Thank you, Xuanling Sect seniors, we don’t have to die today!”
“Long live Senior Sister, long live Senior Sister!”
These guys… how did they get trained to be like this?
As she walked, being discussed all the way, Tang Xin arrived at the arena that was being set up.
Because this competition involved everyone from the direct disciples to the outer sect members, there were many participants, so many arenas had to be built in advance to meet the schedule’s requirements.
The person in charge of supervising this work was an inner sect disciple named Fang Ling, who was at the third level of Foundation Building.
Tang Xin had once tried to recruit her, but was rejected. Fang Ling’s reason was “not wanting to get involved in factional disputes.”
Offending Senior Sister Tang never ends well, so she ended up with this tough job.
According to the requirements, thirty percent of the arena construction should have been completed by today, but in reality, only twenty percent was done.
Although the ten percent gap didn’t affect the overall situation, it was a perfect reason to punish the person in charge.
“Senior Sister Tang…”
Fang Ling, sweating profusely, came over to apologize.
She was a well-known figure among the inner sect disciples, not to the point of having her cultivation abolished or being thrown to the foot of the mountain to sweep the grounds, but a scolding or physical punishment was inevitable.
Oh, look at how scared this kid is. It’s just a slight delay in the construction schedule, nothing major.
Such a cute girl, it wouldn’t be good if she wore herself out.
“You…”
Tang Xin was about to say “you did a good job,” but before she could speak, a “ding” sounded in her mind.
