Lu Xun’s train of thought started to wander as he looked at his second senior sister’s wooden hairpin, and the more he thought, the more he fantasized.

He thought about how the wooden hairpin held up his second senior sister’s hair. Did that mean… if she were to use her wooden sword, her black hair would flow down and dance with the wind?

As he thought about it, a vivid image started to form in his mind.

Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei didn’t spend much time in the bamboo forest. After saying their goodbyes to the second senior sister, they headed back to the small study.

Mao Nanbei was content and full, her mood was good, and she was bouncing with joy as she walked.

Being feline, she was prone to darting around.

Aside from not letting Lu Xun pet her, she truly gave him the feeling of owning a cat-eared girl.

While passing by a jujube tree, she picked a few dates, wiped them on Lu Xun’s clothes and started to eat.

She always had a look of enjoyment when she ate, seeming easily satisfied. On regular days she was lazy as mud, but she was diligent when it came to eating.

This directly proved the saying – Not good at anything, except being number one in eating.

Not long after returning to the small study, Sect Master Shen Yan of the Demon Sect came over.

He had been coming to the back mountain quite frequently lately, mainly to pry the details out of the Young Elder about how much Qi Sea he saw while breaking through the second level of the Qi Consumption Technique.

They had placed bets, and the stakes were high. He was hoping to cash in big.

However, as the Sect Master, he couldn’t be seen as being idle, even though he really wasn’t that busy… Therefore, every time he came to the back mountain, he would come up with a reasonable excuse.

This time, it was that the Elders of the Outer Sect would be organizing a trial for the Outer Sect Disciples and he wanted to ask the Young Elder if he was interested in joining.

The trials mainly fell into two categories, one within the Sect like martial arts competition or differing prohibitions, the other was to venture outside the mountain.

Simply put, it was similar to a periodic examination in school.

Being an Outer Sect Disciple in the Sect was not much different from being a student at school.

Those who performed well could receive rewards like elixirs or magic artifacts.

Logically, even though Lu Xun was still in the training period for the Qi Consumption Technique and was weaker than many Outer Sect disciples, his status should make him exempt from participating. However, he had to perform well- -if he performed poorly, it would be embarrassing as he was the disciple of the Master and the Sect’s Young Elder.

But Shen Yan didn’t really plan for Lu Xun to participate in the first place, he was just making conversation.

Had the subject of this trial not been special, he wouldn’t even have dared to use this lame excuse.

Lu Xun was nodding along to Shen Yan’s explanation, pretending to listen sincerely. However, halfway through, he suddenly froze.

“I actually triggered a quest,” Lu Xun became excited.

Thinking about it, this was a trial for the Outer Sect disciples, but in the game, this was a quest!

After carefully inspecting the quest details, Lu Xun was a little confused.

The task was easy – you just had to fetch a pen and start drawing. The only special part was… that pen once belonged to the Master.

This quest was not special in any other way. Instead, it vaguely seemed a bit silly.

Lead by the Elders of the Outer Sect, a group of disciples would line up one by one to use the pen…they thought it was a silly idea.

The number of Outer Sect disciples participating in this trial wouldn’t be small, the disciple at the end of the line might have to wait quite a while…

However, since the trial was already a thing, it definitely wasn’t as easy as it seemed. There must be a catch.

The quest didn’t specify anything, but the rich reward of one thousand experience points surely wouldn’t be that easy to obtain.

The task only required him to pick up the pen and draw for five minutes, that’s it.

Clearly, there was something off about this pen.

The fun part was, this mission had a completion rate. Holding the pen for five minutes only accounted for 20%; it wasn’t until you held on for 25 minutes it would be considered 100% completion.

In other words, 20% completion equaled one thousand experience points. If he achieved full completion, that would be five thousand experience points!

For Lu Xun, five thousand experience points were way too tempting! They were equivalent to 250 days of hard training!

Driven by his craving for experience points and his curiosity about the Master’s pen, Lu Xun said, “Master, I would like to take part in this trial.” It surprised Shen Ludan.

He was just using it as an excuse for a chat, and didn’t expect Lu Xun to genuinely be interested.

Since the Young Elder was interested, how could Shen Ludan not let him participate?

Decision made!

As for the words from Shen Yan afterwards, Lu Xun had already built resistance. No matter how Shen Yan tried to pry, Lu Xun dodged effortlessly.

Although he had seen no Qi Sea and felt embarrassed – after all, he was the first in Demon Sect’s history,…

But if he lied and bragged about seeing a huge Qi Sea… although he could brag about it smoothly…

He dreaded digging a hole for himself instead, and thus kept silent.

Say less, be more mysterious, longevity is the goal.

Knowing that Lu Xun was keeping mum, Shen Yan knew his bet was already lost. Thinking about the 500 spirit stones he had bet, his heart ached.

On the other hand, Lu Xun was in a good mood now. His experience points were at 150/1000, and he gained 20 points every day from meditating. It wasn’t interesting at all, so having a quest to do was a bonus.

Plus. he hadn’t seen Ti Li for a while. This Outer Sect quest was a great

opportunity to meet her again.

He had promised to visit her, but had never actually done so.

Oh men.

“It’s about time to relax in the Outer Sect,” thought Lu Xun.

In the back mountain, it was just him and his two senior sisters. As the Junior Brother with the lowest cultivation base, he felt inferior.

Even during the nights, he didn’t sleep well as he had to “enjoy” his second senior sister’s loving whips- -stung by the sword intent over and over, waking up in cold sweat dozens of times a night. It was a bit hard to live there.

But things could be different after leaving the back mountain. Ordinary disciples had to show respect and greet him as ‘Young Elder,’ and he could also see Ji Li, so he didn’t look like a man not keeping his word.

Furthermore, making fun of Ji Li was a pleasure in itself.

Making fun of others was more fun when the target was easy and soft as Ji Li, who was as squishy as a soft persimmon; it felt so good to squeeze. Thinking about it, a warm smile appeared on Lu Xun’s handsome face.
