Xing Yun didn't sleep well this night. Whenever he closed his eyes, the image of the senior sister named Xing Ya would come to his mind.
Don't get the wrong idea, the scene that stuck in Xing Yun's mind was the scene of this senior sister talking to herself on and on and on... The endless self-talk was a Buddhist monk chanting in his mind continuously.
Headache!
So when Fairy Yun Xia kicked the door open the next morning while talking like some ruffian, what she saw was Xing Yun already dressed up and ready to go.
"Little girl, it's time to get up, I, your elder sister-- blimey! You are that excited?"
Pointing to his dark circles under his eyes, Xing Yun assumed a look as if he had given up the desire to live.
After simply retelling what happened last night with Fairy Yun Xia, this elder sister's first reaction was truly worthy of her name as a hooligan.
"Saw Xing Ya that little girl naked? Hey, no wonder, little girl how many times did you do it? Although I, your elder sister, am not opposed to your handling of personal issues, I still have to tell you that it will hurt your vitality... You are still young..."
"Hey, hey, do you know what the word manner means? I'm only six years old!"
"Tsk, I, your elder sister, am not illiterate." throwing back her shoulders, Fairy Yun Xia was so proud of herself, "but I, your sister, am always 17 years old, so talking dirty fits my age."
Tilting his head and thinking, Xing Yun continued to give up his desire to live. "You are really planning to behave like a female hooligan, right? And it is the one who doesn't want their face."
Tilting her head as well, Fairy Yunxia thought for a moment, then smiled like a flower: "Little girl, you understand her elder sister quite well. Don't forget to flip my token later on." (TN: In ancient China, emperors would flip a token that has a concubine's name on it amongst many other tokens to choose who they would want to sleep with that evening. Although here, it means that to flip a token to choose an acting master, it can be interpreted in many ways.)
Xing Yun: "..."
The tool used for the journey was still the blue sky sword. Its emerald-like color seemed to carry endless stars. It was fascinating no matter how many times one saw it.
"Like this sword? If you flip my token, I'll..."
"Hey, hey, hey, female hooligan, can you pay attention to what you say? You are my Seventh Martial Uncle! And I'm only five years old!"
"Tsk, May-December Romance is not uncommon in the cultivation world. So what, if you are six years old? Your old turtle egg master took his little junior sister's first kiss when he was five years old."
"..."
"Then he was beaten up by the senior sister who had a crush on him so badly that he looked like a donkey ball in the end."
"..."
"Then he was picked on by the senior brother who had a crush on the Senior Sister for thirty years."
Xing Yun continued to "..."
"In the end, the master came out and appointed him as the next leader of the Shang Qing Sect on the grounds of 'having the demeanor of this old man in the old days.'"
Xing Yun felt that the only thing he could do at this moment was to remain silent.
So after saying it for a long time, it turned out that there was really not a single normal person in Shang Qing Sect, and this was also the continuation of the tradition. Colloquially speaking, it meant that not only did the older generations of Shang Qing Sect didn't set a good example, but they even wanted the younger generations to carry on this glorious tradition.
'What is wrong with these people!'
Leaning in Fairy Yun Xia's arms, as soon as he finished complaining about this, he suddenly thought of something.
"Er... Martial Uncle, that little Junior Sister you mentioned... is it not you, is it?"
"I know you would ask this. How could it be this old woman," She patted on the head of Xing Yun lightly, as if she liked Xing Yun's cleverness, "I, your sister, had not been born at that time. Besides, even if I give that old turtle egg ten times the courage, you think he dares to come to take the first kiss of the old woman? He would be lucky if I didn't beat him to death."
Yes, this was so Fairy Yun Xia.
So now there was a conclusion, which seemed to be the truth. It was that this fairy sister may have never been in love because of her hot temper, which was kind of sad.
It didn't take long before the two of them arrived at one of the many palaces with the flying sword. Unlike seeing them from a distance, close observations made Xing Yun feel the unparalleled shock.
The solemn feeling it gave out rushed toward his face, and waves of wonderful music faintly sounded in his ears, just by standing on the square in front of the door, the fatigue of staying up all night seemed to be instantly dispelled by an invisible power.
"This is the side hall. Generally, the Supreme Elders and the elders will be discussing matters here. Okay, let's go."
When she was speaking, Fairy Yun Xia had already suppressed the hooligan spirit in her body.
Arriving before the door, the door slowly opened on its own. The first thing Xing Yun saw was the endless darkness. This chaotic darkness was very different from the sacred and solemn realm outside. The only thing he could feel was the faintly terrifying atmosphere inside.
It was the feeling gave off by the powerful cultivators.
As Fairy Yun Xia stepped into the darkness, the door behind her suddenly closed.
Immediately afterwards, the light suddenly lit up, and the originally pitch-black environment was brightened by the soft light.
This was a large empty room, seemingly without an end. In front of the two of them, there were only a dozen chairs laying out in an arc, and the people sitting on the chairs were the higher-ups of Shang Qing Sect.
Fairy Yun Xia left Xing Yun and sat on the seventh seat from the left. There were still a few vacancies in other positions, not knowing if those people were troubled by other matters and unable to be there, or they had already...
Suddenly, the middle-aged man at the end opened his eyes. It was not an illusion. Xing Yun clearly saw the light from his eyes when he opened his eyes.
That essence of light instantly shot deep inside the space, disappearing into the endless space.
"Dumbass! What are you doing! ?"
"..."
Fairy Yun Xia, who was glared at by Yun Dan, sat back to her original position honestly after cursing.
At this time, the middle-aged man slowly stood up.
"Er... I will say a few words first?"
With the standard leadership opening remarks and the special style of clothing, Xing Yun could almost tell the identity of this person - the current sect leader of Shang Qing sect, Taoist Master Xing He.
"First of all, I'd like to welcome little junior... sister to join the big family of Shang Qing Sect. Then you can choose the acting master now. After that, I need to fix the door. "
After really just speaking just a few words, he simply sat down.
Pausing awkwardly when calling him was basically a sign that showed that everyone here knew his true gender. That was great, if the senior leaders were clear about his true identity, at least, it meant that they were prepared to restore his identity as a man in the future.
Yun Dan was still as calm as before. All the acting master candidates must first introduce themselves, so as the oldest person here, he was naturally the first person to introduce himself.
"Xing Yun, did you meet that little girl Xing Ya yesterday?"
Xing Yun nodded.
"Then... it is up to you."
Congratulations to the supreme elder Yun Dan for being the first one that was disqualified.
The first and third places were vacant, so the second one to introduce himself was the Fourth Martial Uncle of Xing Yun.
He was a burly man with a lot of muscles. The originally loose Taoist robe was like a skintight dress on his body, and the outline of his bulging muscles could be seen through the clothes. Naturally, his voice was also loud like thunder; even if he was far away from Xing Yun, the sound still made Xing Yun unable to stand still.
"I'm-"
"Will you die if you lower your voice! ?" Fairy Yun Xia shouted.
"Oh, I'm your Fourth Martial Uncle. You have delicate skin and look very fragile. You won't be able to learn anything useful from me, so I think it is better to choose someone else." Scratching his head for a moment, he added another sentence before sitting down, "Little girl, if you want a magic weapon, just come to me. I don't have other things, but I have no shortage of weapons."
Xing Yun gritted his teeth and nodded.
Even if this martial uncle lowered his voice, it still almost sent Xing Yun flying.
The next one was the fifth.
