Chapter 1094: What Level of Cultivation Does Senior Brother Have?

This sect’s situation felt like a dream to Lin Nuo.

He had a gentle and caring Senior Martial Sister, a frosty and aloof Second Martial Sister, and now a cute and sweet Junior Martial Sister. This was the dream sect—just the kind of treatment a main character deserves.

If he had exceptional talent, he would definitely be a winner in life.

However…

He was just a useless nobody.

Years had passed, and he was still at the second stage—what a shameful disgrace! Even the slouches next door had surpassed this level.

Then there was the attitude of people in the sect towards him. The Senior Martial Sister was kind to everyone, and at first, he thought she liked him, but later realized he was just overthinking things; her care was merely her nature.

As for the Second Martial Sister, she basically ignored him. He couldn’t even approach her, speaking less than ten words a month.

And the Master? Don’t even get me started; she couldn’t care less about him.

Who knows what future attitude this little Junior Martial Sister will have towards him? He really hoped she was a salted fish, so they could team up!

This little Junior Martial Sister looked quite ordinary, especially compared to the two Senior Martial Sisters. She was just too unremarkable.

Even more common than him; surely, she must be a salted fish too.

The Xuanyun Sect was not a place to just pass the time; if he didn’t build some skills, he’d be looked down upon.

Just wait—wait until she can’t achieve anything either, and then they could stick together.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go train,” Qin Shili coldly stated and didn’t wait for Han Fairy to respond before turning and leaving the residence.

She was always a lone wolf; blessed with outstanding talent, she was highly valued by the sect, and Han Fairy was very lenient with her.

“Shuqin, take Kexin around to familiarize her with Tianling Mountain. I have matters to discuss with the Sect Leader.”

With that, Han Fairy left, leaving Lin Nuo and the other two behind in the residence.

“Senior Martial Sister, I look forward to your guidance.”

Su Kexin politely saluted Liu Shuqin, the newcomer respecting her surroundings.

“Um, Junior Martial Brother, are you busy? Why don’t we take the Junior Martial Sister to get acquainted with the area?” Liu Shuqin suggested after Han Fairy left, otherwise, she would definitely have been shot down by Han Fairy.

“Me? I’m not busy. But, is that alright?” Lin Nuo asked.

“It’s fine; the Master isn’t here anyway. We’re all fellow disciples, right? What could be wrong?” Liu Shuqin smiled lightly.

“Right, we’re all fellow disciples. Let’s go! Junior Martial Sister, I know the Tianling Mountain well. I can point out where the spiritual fruits and beasts are—got it all clear,” Lin Nuo tried to sound impressive in front of Su Kexin.

This was true; he was a free-range disciple who just roamed around most of the time. As long as he didn’t do anything against the rules, no one bothered him.

So, he was quite familiar with Tianling Mountain.

“Oh, alright, then I’ll trouble Senior Brother and Senior Sister!” Su Kexin replied gratefully.

They then left the residence, with Liu Shuqin and Lin Nuo showing Su Kexin around Tianling Mountain.

“Junior Martial Sister, when did you join the Master’s sect? It’s so sudden; we didn’t get any news beforehand,” Liu Shuqin asked Su Kexin.

“Um… it was just good luck for me. I tried to visit Tianling Mountain a few times wanting to become a disciple, but I kept hitting a wall and couldn’t pass the first test. I thought there was no hope, but once, by chance, I encountered a Fierce Beast hazard near Fangcheng and almost got killed. Later, the Master came to subdue the Fierce Beast; it was my first encounter with the Master. I tried again to become a disciple, and the Master took me in without hesitation.”

“Oh, I see. Good things come to those who persevere; looks like Junior Martial Sister met her fate. I was also discovered by the Master before I entered the Xuanyun Sect. The Master patiently taught me techniques, and I’ve made quite a bit of progress. Junior Martial Sister, anyone who can enter the Xuanyun Sect must have potential. If you work hard here, you’ll definitely achieve something.”

“Mm! Thank you, Senior Sister! I will work hard and cherish this hard-won opportunity!”

Su Kexin nodded repeatedly; hearing Liu Shuqin say that made her feel full of passion.

She’d already taken the first big step, and there’d surely be great accomplishments in her future!

She was really grateful to the young man who encouraged her not to give up—she had still entered the Xuanyun Sect through her own efforts, and surely, she would meet him again in the future.

“May I ask what level of cultivation Senior Sister is at now?” Su Kexin asked.

“To be honest, I feel quite ashamed. With the Master’s patient guidance, I’m only at the fifth stage of the Spiritual Realm.”

“Fifth stage? Wow, that’s impressive, Senior Sister!”

Su Kexin got excited; the Senior Sister didn’t seem much older than her, yet she’d achieved the fifth stage.

Meanwhile, she was still at the first stage and had never broken through. The pressure was immense!

“So what about Senior Brother? He must be strong too, right?”

Su Kexin looked at Lin Nuo with anticipation. Still young, she had always fantasized about having a handsome and powerful Senior Brother. Lin Nuo was handsome, and being under Han Fairy’s tutelage, he surely didn’t lack strength.

“Me? I…”

Lin Nuo hesitated; this was quite a dilemma.

Four years of cultivation, and still at the second stage—how’s he supposed to explain that?

“His cultivation is just at the second stage, and he’s been here for four years. Haha, he’s one of the least talented in the Xuanyun Sect.”

Nearby, some disciples interjected with cold sarcasm.

There were two or three of them, always looking for a chance to mock Lin Nuo.

“This little girl hasn’t been here before, right? Is she a new Junior Martial Sister? Lin Nuo, how could you have the guts to bring someone else around?”

They approached Lin Nuo, sneering.

“What’s it to you? Did Master Cong teach you all to talk nonsense?” Lin Nuo shot back without mercy, regarding Master Cong’s disciples, each one more chatty than the last.

“You…! Haha, all bark and no bite. You’re a disgrace to Han Fairy. New Junior Martial Sister, I advise you not to associate with him. If you hang around him, you’ll ruin yourself.”

“Junior Brothers, today is our Junior Sister’s first day at Tianling Mountain; your words and actions reflect your sect’s image. I assume you’re just joking. Disciples of Master Cong wouldn’t be so rude,” Liu Shuqin stepped in to defend Lin Nuo. Although Lin Nuo was weak, he tried hard in his training, and she had seen that; diligent people shouldn’t be ridiculed.

“We’re just joking, don’t take it seriously. Anyway, new Junior Sister, why don’t you listen to him talk about his level? We’d like to see what stage he’s at now.”

They waited, eager for Lin Nuo to make a fool of himself.

“Junior Sister, let’s go; really, you should steer clear of those guys. Otherwise, you might end up just like them—always stirring up trouble for others,” Lin Nuo hastily led Su Kexin away, thinking they were being naive if they thought he was announcing his second stage to everyone.

“Senior Brother, this…”

Su Kexin felt a little nervous; had she asked the wrong question? It had been quite harmonious, but why were these disciples’ words so confrontational towards Senior Brother?
