Jingxin Peak, although not considered a blessed land within the Xuanling Sect, was still a residence for core elders, spacious enough to accommodate two or three people.
What was somewhat better than Tang Xin had anticipated was that the Sect Leader’s token actually had an effect.
She had thought that, given Elder Ling Hua’s personality, she would be directly kicked out.
Don’t forget, there had been a conflict between them not long ago, right after she “bullied” her disciple when the Seventh Elder came to question her.
It seems, then, that the news of the Sect Leader’s imminent return must be true.
“Fine,” the Seventh Elder lay on the bamboo bed, listlessly saying, “Do whatever you want, but I don’t have much good food here, you’ll have to fend for yourself…”
She had no objections, but her recently returned disciple came over, fuming.
“What’s going on,” Su Ling frowned, “Why is this person here?”
“Because you’re too cute,” Tang Xin shrugged, “Is that reason enough?”
【Current Shyness Value: 0.9】
Damn, shouldn’t this tactic work like a charm on such simple-minded girls? Why is it backfiring?
“The same trick won’t work on me,” Su Ling huffed, “My will won’t be easily swayed by you anymore!”
Tang Xin, indifferent, simply spread her hands and briefly explained the situation.
Sect missions cannot be defied!
“This, this…” Su Ling was half dissatisfied, half astonished, “This is ridiculous! The Grand Elder is simply, simply…”
She probably wanted to say “childish” or “blind” but out of respect for the Grand Elder, she couldn’t say it out loud and instead looked to someone who could make a decision.
“Master, this… what should we do…”
“I’m in no position to protect myself,” Ling Hua waved the white flag, “I suggest not to offend those with power and influence…”
“Don’t be like that,” Tang Xin smiled, “I’m very easy to get along with, everyone in the sect knows that.”
…
Elder Seven’s task list one: Handle sect documents.
This is one of the core elders’ daily tasks. It’s not troublesome, just a bit monotonous and boring.
“My seal is now yours.”
Ling Hua tossed the seal on the desk over without hesitation, showing no sign of cherishing it.
“Please don’t do this, Elder,” Tang Xin politely said, “Impersonating an elder to handle documents is a violation of the sect rules.”
She walked forward slowly, offering the seal with both hands.
“Moreover, my daily work here will be recorded in the form of reports. The Grand Elder will verify whether I have been coerced or lied to before submitting the records to the Sect Leader… So, if you don’t want to end up doing hard labor when the Sect Leader returns, it’s better to cooperate voluntarily.”
“You…”
Elder Seven Ling Hua’s face changed colors.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll get angry by threatening me like this?”
“This is not a threat,” Tang Xin said with a smile, “I must reiterate, this is a task assigned by the sect. If you have any complaints, there’s nothing I can do…”
Afraid? Of course not.
Although Elder Seven acts recklessly and indulges in pleasures, her character is quite upright. After all, she is one of the main characters. As a main character, there are some things she just cannot do.
That’s the theory, at least…
“At such a young age, you’re quite scheming,” Elder Ling Hua sat up and looked her in the eye, “I knew you weren’t a simple character… But to command me so easily, don’t you think you’re not taking me seriously?”
【Generating options…】
【Option one: Slap Ling Hua across the face and say, “You **, do whatever I tell you to, got it?”】
【Success rate 49%, reward: the Immortal Technique Breaking the Mundane, failure results in instant death.】
Ridiculous!
How could there possibly be a 49% chance of success in doing such a thing? No explanation would make it believable!
[Option 2: Pin Elder Ling Hua beneath you, and with a wicked smile say, “Either obey me willingly, or… I’ll make sure you can’t leave the bed.”]
[Success rate 51%, reward: the celestial artifact Rift Shuttle. Failure results in being completely drained, not a drop left.]
Even more outrageous!
What does “completely drained” mean?
It probably means the destruction of the dantian, the leakage of Qi, not leaving a single drop inside, right?
[Option 3: Whisper in Ling Hua’s ear, “I have a way to make you comfortable!”]
[Success rate 99%, reward: a multifunctional Yin-Yang Sect badge.]
“???”
What is this? From the content of the option to the reward, nothing is serious. How did this system become so twisted?
Tang Xin took a deep breath, walked over to Ling Hua, and whispered in her ear.
“I have a way to make you comfortable!”
“You,” Elder Ling Hua, after hearing this, showed a surprised and doubtful expression, “How did you know I have a problem with my back? Apart from the sect leader, I haven’t told anyone!”
“You don’t need to worry about how I know,” Tang Xin said with a smile, “Anyway, I really have a way.”
To think there’s such a move! I don’t even know where to start with this option!
Ling Hua’s face showed hesitation and struggle. After a while, she re-evaluated the chief disciple in front of her and said in a deep voice.
“I’ve underestimated you, knowing even my secret… After finishing these documents, you can share your method, right?”
“It’s not about sharing, but personally relieving your worries.”
Tang Xin said, unchanging in expression.
“Hmph,” Ling Hua went to the desk and started working, unprecedentedly, “I hope you keep your word…”
This person, what exactly is her background?
The sect leader was also mysterious about it, promoting her to chief disciple without informing others of her background, keeping it a secret.
Although this was one way to protect the chief disciple, something felt off!
Compared to the average disciple, she was too smart, highly talented, and her management skills were top-notch. Usually, possessing any two of these qualities would qualify someone to be the sect’s chief disciple, but this person had them all!
The more I thought about it, the more something seemed amiss. Could it be… this person is the sect leader’s illegitimate daughter?!
While he mind was filled with speculation, her hands were busy stamping the seal on documents that needed processing.
It must be said, when Elder Ling Hua isn’t slacking off, she’s quite a sight to behold.
The high slit of her skirt revealed a lot of her fair skin below the collarbone and on her back, her eye makeup added a seductive charm, and her bare feet were constantly tempting those around her. Compared to the younger girls, her figure exuded a mature allure.
And now, this mature woman had no choice but to obediently listen to Tang Xin.
“Done with the paperwork, it’s time to fulfill your promise,” Ling Hua yawned, turning around, “Eh, why are you giving me such a lewd… no, such an inappropriate smile?”
“Cough,” Tang Xin quickly changed her expression, “This is just how I look, it’s not like I’m trying to come off as a villain…”
After checking the documents to ensure there were no issues, she pulled out a beautifully decorated stick from her bosom, saying,
“The Yin-Yang Sect’s multifunctional **, specially designed to relieve back pain, leg pain, and muscle soreness… Come on, lie down on the bed, I’ll make you feel comfortable!”
