Chapter 31: Every dog has its day
"Changed?"
"Have I become better-looking?"
Ye Xuan grinned.
"Bah!! Shameless…"
When Xia Yuning heard that, she pursed her lips and the strange feeling in her heart disappeared instantly.
Those were just her illusions. Ye Xuan was still the same Ye Xuan. He was still so shameless!
"Alright, alright. Is the sect competition over?"
"Senior Sister, can you quickly tell me how many junior sisters did not pass the cultivation test before the competition this year?"
Ye Xuan chuckled and hurriedly asked.
This was what he was most concerned about.
"Why are you only thinking about having children…" Xia Yuning rolled her eyes helplessly. However, she already knew Ye Xuan's temperament and could only answer him with helplessness, "There are a total of five junior sisters who did not pass the assessment this year. They should be leaving the sect tomorrow."
"Five!"
"That's great!"
Ye Xuan laughed and was rejoicing in his heart.
Five junior sisters did not pass the assessment before the competition, which meant that their cultivation levels had not reached Level 5 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
However, their talent was definitely not bad. Those who could enter the Ten Thousand Flower Sect were at least good seedlings that possessed Grade-3 spiritual roots.
"Senior Sister, they should still be in the sect. Can you bring me to see them?"
Ye Xuan rubbed his hands and looked at Xia Yuning with some embarrassment.
"Phew…"
"I really don't know what to do with you…"
"They should be in the sect's Miscellaneous Affairs Hall right now, receiving the allowance to leave the sect."
Xia Yuning naturally knew what Ye Xuan was thinking and had no choice but to speak helplessly.
"Allowance to leave the sect??"
"Is there such a thing even?"
Ye Xuan panicked on the spot. He was still thinking of using the Ye Family's resources to fool these Junior Sisters!
If the sect also gave an allowance for leaving the sect, and if the allowance was higher than what he offered, it would not be fun.
"Don't worry, the allowance for leaving the sect won't be too much. It's just some spirit stones and gold coins to ensure that they could adapt better after entering the secular world."
Xia Yuning could tell what Ye Xuan was thinking at a glance and explained calmly.
"I see~"
"Senior Sister knows so much~"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was also relieved and laughed.
Ye Xuan was really happy to have such a Senior Sister who watched out for him. She was even more gentle and considerate than his own sister.
Unfortunately, it was still a little difficult to trick Xia Yuning into bearing his child…
…
At this moment, in the sect's Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, five women in ordinary clothes reluctantly handed their identity tokens and sect clothing to an old woman in front of them.
"Elder Liu, I beg you, please give me a chance. I'm so close to reaching Level 5 of the Qi Refinement Stage…"
A woman looked at the old woman pitifully, her bright black eyes filled with tears.
"That's right, Elder Liu. Give me a chance. I'll definitely cultivate diligently…"
"Elder Liu, I beg you…"
The other four women also begged. They looked very pitiful and lovable.
However, the old woman called Elder Liu was unmoved. She had seen this kind of thing many times.
There was a rule in the sect. If one could not reach Level 5 of the Qi Refinement Stage within ten years, they would be stripped of their status as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect.
This rule was hidden and would not be revealed to ordinary disciples. This was also to test the temperament of those disciples.
In the assessment before the sect competition 10 years later, if any disciple did not meet the standards, she would bring those disciples to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall and tell them the truth.
Regret was inevitable.
However, for a full ten years, they had enjoyed the resources and cultivation environment of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect but did not cherish it. This was also what they deserved.
Elder Liu's eyes burned as she stared at one of the women and said indifferently, "Du Qianqian, you've been in the sect for ten years and have never gone on a mission. Do you think there's a need for you to stay in the Ten Thousand Flower Sect?"
"I—"
Du Qianqian met Elder Liu's gaze and hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to say a word.
Elder Liu did not let the others go. She turned her gaze to another woman and said indifferently, "Ding Xiang, ever since you failed your first mission, you've been dispirited until now. You're even dissatisfied with the sect, doing nothing all day long, wasting the resources of the sect. After ten years, you're still at Level 3 of the Qi Refinement Stage. What's the use of giving you a chance?"
"I—"
Ding Xiang also lowered her head, her face full of regret and shame.
"There's also Xu Qing. Although the Ten Thousand Flower Sect doesn't forbid disciples from falling in love, you seduced more than ten male cultivators from other small sects alone and cheated them of their spirit stones. Someone has long since complained to the sect." Elder Liu said helplessly, "You thought that you did it flawlessly, but in fact, the sect resisted all the pressure for you. Unfortunately, you still let the sect down."
"Elder Liu, I…"
Xu Qing's expression alternated between turning green and pale. It was extremely ugly.
"You're all disciples of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect. You are also considered geniuses when placed outside. Unfortunately…" Elder Liu sighed helplessly and waved her hand." Leave. No matter what choices you make in the future, they have nothing to do with the Ten Thousand Flower Sect. "
After Elder Liu finished speaking, she turned around and disappeared at the end of the hall, leaving the five female disciples standing there in a daze, their expressions indescribably despondent.
…
At this moment, Ye Xuan and Xia Yuning had just arrived at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
"Senior Sister, why are you following along too? Isn't it a little inappropriate…"
Ye Xuan glanced at Xia Yuning beside him and felt somewhat helpless.
He was going to trick his junior sisters into bearing children for him. Why did Xia Yuning follow him? She was so bored…
"Hmph, why can't I come!"
"Master asked me to watch over you, so I naturally have to fulfill the mission. I can't let you mess around."
Xia Yuning crossed her arms and snorted.
She naturally knew what Ye Xuan wanted to do, so she was also curious.
She wanted to see how Ye Xuan would trick those Junior Sisters into bearing children for him.
…
As soon as the two of them entered the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, they encountered the five female disciples.
The five women were not wearing the Ten Thousand Flower Sect's disciple uniforms and they looked a little forlorn.
Ye Xuan saw someone he knew among them—Xu Qing!
Xu Qing was the last woman he had pursued!
Five years ago, he had failed in his pursuit of Xu Qing. In the end, he had no choice but to leave the mountain and enter the mortal world.
Five years ago, Xu Qing was at Level 3 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Five years later, Xu Qing had reached Level 4 of the Qi Refinement Stage.
Xu Qing had a wood-attribute spiritual root, and it was a Grade-3 spiritual root. As long as she was willing to cultivate diligently, her cultivation level was definitely not just this level.
However, Xu Qing was timid by nature and rarely went out for missions, so she did not have enough cultivation resources.
It was also because of this that Ye Xuan felt that he had a chance.
Unfortunately, he was actually the clown.
However, every dog had its day!
Now, he had many wives and concubines, and his strength had reached Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage. He had entered into marriage alliances with other immortal-cultivation family clans and was earning tens of thousands of spirit stones every year. He was no longer the scum that he once was.
