The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder

Chapter 48: 48

48 – Admission (II)

Xue Qilin didn’t go talk to the girl, but instead resumed her pace .

We’ll meet again, won’t we? A light smile on the corner’s of her mouth, she mused .

“Finally realizing that I have done a lot of evil deeds, I feel ashamed, and am going to commit suicide by walking into a pillar . ” Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ears, and her eyes focused . There is a tract of painted red before her eyes .

What the hell? Startled, Xue Qilin backed up, and then finally saw clearly what was in front of her – a pillar .

It turns out that she has walked into the hall unconsciously . However, as she was absorbed in her thoughts, she strayed from the path, and almost hit the pillar in front of her .

“Are you lovesick? Say, have you taken fancy of some family’s son? !’ll ask the Temple Master to help you propose!” Her arms crossed, Xia Xue watching passively spoke with an enigmatic smile, her words laced with sarcasm .

Xue Qilin didn’t bother about this . If it wasn’t for Xia Xue’s reminder, she would have walked into the pillar .

“Who is lovesick!”

“You~ . If you aren’t lovesick, then what’s with that vulgar grin?”

“Yes, yes, I’m lovesick, I’m lovesick...” Xue Qilin responded dispiritedly first, and then looked at Xia Xue with a vulgar look, “Hey hey hey... Little Xue, you’re concave and convex in all the right places . Holding you must be comfortable . Why don’t we make do?”

“Oh, you want to marry me, or marry me [1]?”

“Marry [2], of course . ”

Xia Xue looked at Xue Qilin with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “Your cultivation base is good enough, but...” Her eyes fell on Xue Qilin’s crotch, “Do you have that?”

Xue Qilin looked stumped . She didn’t have that now .

Xia Xue snorted . The slight curvature in the corner of her mouth conveyed that she was very proud of herself .

Look at how complacent she looks! Xue Qilin humphed .

“Oh, right, give me a hand . ” Xia Xue thought of something and uttered in a flat tone, as if chatting about something trivial .

“You need help? What do you need help with?”

“There’s a test that requires the use of true qi . Performing the test all by myself will be tiring . ”

“Oh, that’s easy . ” Xue Qilin snapped her fingers and agreed readily . The thing she didn’t lack is true qi .

“Very well, then you will sit on my left . ” Xia Xue pointed to the center of the hall, where there stood a long table with a few chairs on one side and only one chair on the other side a distance away from the table .

This layout... is rather familiar... Xue Qilin’s mouth twitched several times .

“Why do you look like a madwoman today?”

“Oh, what are you talking about?”

“It’s your hair . ”

“My hair?” Xue Qilin turned to look . Instead of her usual hairstyle, today she has her long hair fall down naturally, with the tips of the hair touching her ankles .

“Isn’t it troublesome . ”

“Yeah? I think it’s okay . ”

“Why don’t you comb your hair as usual? Could it be that you don’t know how to?” Probably realizing something that she shouldn’t have, Xia Xue asked in a weird voice .

Xia Xue hit the nail on the head . Without Qi Qiqi’s help, Xue Qilin din’t know to handle her long hair .

“Of course not . Changing your hairstyle occasionally, think of it as a change of pace . ” When she spoke, Xue Qilin didn’t blink, and put on an innocent expression .

“Hmm...” Xia Xue dragged out the sound, expressing suspicion .

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you . ” Xue Qilin spread her hands indifferently .

At this moment...

“Elder Xia, the registration is finished . ” Qian Duoduo walked over with a stack of paper, which should be the registration list . Gong Tianqing followed behind him .

Xia Xue gestured Qian Duoduo to put the list on the table, “Put it there . ”

Then, she sat at the table and looked through the list .

Behind Xia Xue, Xue Qilin extended her head to look . On the “application forms”, there was some basic information of the applicants, such as name, place of birth, age, etc... The graceful handwriting clearly belongs to Gong Tianqing .

“How many people are there?” Without lifting her head, Xia Xue asked as she quickly skimmed over the “application forms” .

Qian Duoduo looked to Gong Tianqing, kicking the ball into her court . Everyone’s eyes fell on Gong Tianqing, and she shrank into herself .

“For, forty-seven . ”

“Oh, more than in previous years . ” Xia Xue looked meaningfully at Xue Qilin .

“Why did you look at me?”

“Reputation, a blessing that a certain someone brought us by charging into the Heavenly Sword Gate by themselves . ”

The little girl was taken aback . It took her a bit of time to understand what Xia Xue meant .

Ancient sects emphasized on reputation . Although the Merak Temple is among the Five Great Sects, but everyone knows that after the calamity that took place five years ago, the Merak Palace no longer lives up to the Five Great Sects title . Previously, people and martial practitioners in particular felt that if it wasn’t for the prestige of the Merak Temple’s Great Ancestor, the gradually declining Merak Temple would have already been kicked out from the Five Great Sects .

However, to everyone’s amazement, the stagnant Merak Temple unexpectedly still has a Heaven Realm Young Ancestor, and this Young Ancestor even broke into the Heavenly Sword Gate in anger and killed Hua Tianji, the Gate Master of a major sect second only to the Five Great Sects .

In this way, the Merak Temple which has been silent for a long time has now experienced a big reversal in fortune, becoming famous, becoming a topic of conversation among martial practitioners again .

Driven by this upsurge, it is only natural that there will be an increase in the number of people who want to join the Merak Temple .

“Stop spacing out and sit down . ” Xia Xue sorted out the application forms, “We’re going to start . ”

“Oh, okay . ” As stated earlier, Xue Qilin took a seat on the left of the fifth Elder, then placed her elbows on the table and propped up her chin with the palms of her hands .

“Do you have glasses?”

“Is it food?”

“Why do you assume it would be food . ”

“Intuition . ”

“Don’t believe your intuition in the future . ”

“Somehow I feel like it’s a waste of time . ” Xia Xue was obviously impatient . “Let’s hurry and start . I am afraid that these dozens of people will take us two or three days . ”

“It’ll take that long?”

“Fool . ” Xia Xue scolded .

Thick-skinned, Xue Qilin just spread her hands, not bothering .

“Shameless people have no equal in the world, I finally experienced this saying in person . ”

“Didn’t you say to hurry . Let’s hurry and start . ” In a righteous tone, Xue Qilin used the other party’s words against her .

At a loss for words, Xia Xue stared at her resentfully .

“Qian Duoduo...” Xia Xue shouted, her voice a bit heavy . She was probably a little angry .

Gong Tianqing sitting on her right shuddered .

“Call the first person in . ”

A look of amusement on his face, Qian Duoduo nodded and went out .

This guy likes to watch drama! Xue Qilin watched Qian Duoduo until his back view disappeared .

“What am I going to do?”

“I’ll teach you when we get there . For now, just sit quietly and make no noise . ” With a soar expression on her face, Xia Xue answered without even glancing sideways .

She got angry that easily? Xue Qilin made a helpless “oh” .

[1] – Xia Xue uses two different characters and both mean to marry . The first is 嫁, and it means that the person to marry her is female and assumes her to be male; the second is 娶, and it means that the person to marry her is male and assumes her to be female

[2] – Xue Qilin uses 娶 here, meaning that in this scenario she is male and Xia Xue is female
