When Tang Xin went out with Shui Qiu, the Xuanling Sect was as peaceful as ever.
To be precise, it was much more peaceful than usual.
“What, Senior Sister Tang is not here?”
“There’s such good news?”
“It’s like New Year’s!”
Ever since the incident at the Huoya Mountain, as long as Tang Xin was in the sect, she would randomly select a few lucky disciples from time to time to undergo devil-like special training, claiming it was “the disciple competition is coming soon, I’m adding to your activity level.”
Is that what you call adding to the activity level? That’s asking for someone’s life! None of the disciples who underwent the special training could leave the training ground on their feet…
Without the demon here, everyone could finally rest quietly, bask in the sun, arrange some flowers, tease the birds, and enjoy the life a sect disciple should enjoy…
“What? Tang Xin is not here!”
In the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, a girl with a ponytail and a long sword at her waist shouted discontentedly.
After these days of closed-door cultivation, Su Ling quietly reached the eighth rank of Qi Refining.
This speed, if known by the elders of the sect, would surely be astonishing.
Even if it’s considered accumulating in silence, being able to improve several levels in such a short period of time is not something ordinary people, or even ordinary geniuses, can do.
Although this realm is still not enough to challenge the representative of the Xuanling Sect’s disciples, the chief disciple Tang Xin, as long as there is enough time, surpassing her is definitely within reach!
“Hmph, to think she’s not seriously cultivating,” Su Ling frowned, “completely disregarding me…”
This person, always disappearing after bullying someone, really infuriating.
Either don’t bully at all, or if you’re going to bully, do it thoroughly. What’s the meaning of this half-heartedness?
Wait until I pass through all the challenges in the disciple competition, I will definitely challenge her face to face!
Even if I can’t win, I have to let her know that I’m not so easy to bully!
“Damn, Senior Sister Tang appeared in the training ground!”
“It’s over, the good days are gone!”
“Run!”
“Hmph, this guy finally shows up,” Su Ling crossed her arms. “Well, to defeat an opponent, you must know them as well as you know yourself. Let’s go have a look!”
…
After returning Shui Qiu intact to the Great Elder, Tang Xin began to seriously consider how to achieve the main storyline objectives.
Lowering the favorability, a task that seems simple at first glance, turned out to be incredibly difficult to implement.
She had no choice but to temporarily shift her focus to the other two objectives.
“Make Su Ling snuggle into my arms on her own initiative when her shyness value reaches one hundred.”
“Earn at least ten thousand persecution points.”
The latter is already in progress. This counts the points accumulated since the start of the main storyline, so even if the points are spent on exchanging for items, it won’t affect the total.
Ten thousand points might sound like a lot, but with the number of disciples in the Xuanling Sect, it’s not too difficult to achieve.
Steal a lollipop today, flip up a female disciple’s skirt tomorrow; like this, before time runs out, I should be able to gather ten thousand points.
But this “throwing oneself into one’s arms,” I really have no clue about it.
And “shyness value,” is that the same as favorability? If so, does this task mean I have to win over Su Ling?
Considering our personalities, identities, and standings, this seems a bit difficult…
“Alright, that’s enough special training for today.”
Sitting and thinking won’t yield any results, Tang Xin waved her hand disinterestedly, signaling the sword-wielding disciples to stop.
“Phew…”
“We’re saved…”
“The agony is over…”
The disciples collapsed on the ground, exclaiming as if they had been reborn after a calamity.
“Right, same time tomorrow, we’ll continue,” the chief senior sister said. “What we didn’t cover today, we’ll make up for tomorrow.”
Persecution Points +10+13+15……
Tang Xin was about to leave the training ground when, out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a figure she had been dreaming about.
Su Ling!
At the same time, an attribute bar appeared above the girl’s head.
【Current Shyness Value: 0.1】
No way…
Where did this 0.1 come from? It’s actually not a negative number?
Tang Xin approached her, scrutinizing the girl closely.
As the saying goes, practice brings true knowledge. The only way to know how to increase the shyness value is to try.
After thinking for a moment, she spoke.
“You look really beautiful today.”
“What do you want?”
Su Ling asked bluntly.
【Current Shyness Value: 0.09】
Insincere compliments don’t work on her at all, truly befitting of a protagonist’s fate…
“I mean,” Tang Xin thought for a moment and then said, “You look beautiful every day.”
“Speak directly,” Su Ling took a defensive stance, her eyebrows raised, “I don’t like beating around the bush!”
【Current Shyness Value: 0.08】
Is it really that difficult?
“Alright, I’ll just say it…”
Tang Xin racked her brain, trying to figure out what could possibly be related to the shyness value.
“What exactly is it?”
Su Ling looked nervous.
“I,” she said solemnly, “bought a very sexy lingerie…”
【Current Shyness Value: 1】
“You, you-you-you,” the ponytailed girl stuttered, “why are you telling me this?!”
Huh, why did that work? This girl’s shyness trigger is really weird, isn’t it?
“And I’m wearing that lingerie right now,” Tang Xin teased, lifting her collar slightly, “do you want to see?”
The girl stomped her feet in anger.
“You,” Su Ling gritted her teeth, “jerk, shameless, I won’t be corrupted by you, hmph!”
With that, she ran off, looking back as she left the training ground.
It’s so hard, it took so much effort just to raise the shyness value to 1. Next time we meet, do I have to say “I’m carrying your child” or “you’re carrying my child”…
“Sister Tang, the Grand Elder asks for your presence in the Sect Leader’s Hall.”
A disciple came to deliver the message.
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
…
Upon arriving at the Sect Leader’s Hall, Tang Xin found that not only the Grand Elder Xuan Miao was there, but other elders as well.
“You’ve been doing well recently,” Xuan Miao praised right away, “You haven’t neglected your cultivation, and I heard you’ve been helping other disciples with special training. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a disciple so devoted to the sect.”
“Yes,” another elder sighed, “Those disciples only care about themselves, not others. They even say nonsense like ‘Sister Tang is always bullying us,’ completely unaware of her good intentions.”
“It’s time to properly rectify the sect’s disaster…”
