Chapter 80. Popular Girl
“He assisted the royal army, and even if he didn’t personally locate the princess, he still contributed immensely. How can you be sure he has no merits?” Han Fairy argued defiantly.
“Those who understand know, everyone is well aware, no need for me to state it outright.”
Han Fairy and Master Cong began to argue. Han Fairy could never tolerate Master Cong’s style of boosting his own disciple by belittling hers.
“Enough, we are all from the same sect, all contributing to the glory of Xuanyun Sect. Your debate is meaningless.”
Seeing it was not right, Master Zhao quickly intervened to stop their quarrel.
Han Fairy stood up and gave a slight bow.
“I just remembered I have important matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave.”
With that, Han Fairy lightly stepped out of Master Zhao’s courtyard, feeling there was no need to waste time with Master Cong anymore; her mood soured just from looking at him.
……
Master Cong had two famous disciples. One was named Xie Yu, a seventh-tier spirit realm expert, whose combat power was close to Qin Shili’s and who was considered a powerhouse.
The other was Mu Yiting, ranked fifth under Master Cong. Although she was only a fourth-tier spirit realm cultivator, her charming appearance and understanding nature made her highly popular in Xuanyun Sect, and almost no one in the sect harbored any dislike for her.
Even Lin Nuo from before had a good impression of this girl; after all, there weren’t many girls willing to talk to him despite his lack of skill.
Recently, Mu Yiting had gone on a mission with her senior brothers Xie Yu and Zhang Cheng. She not only excelled in completing the tasks but also helped the local government solve their issues with low agricultural yields, earning her great acclaim among the people.
“Good morning, Third Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Sixth Junior Brother~”
“Good morning, Junior Sister.”
“Good morning, Junior Sister.”
“Senior Brothers, your cultivation has been progressing so swiftly; I believe you’ll be promoted soon!”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
When the male disciples saw Mu Yiting approaching, their spirits lifted, and they worked even harder in their training, all hoping to show off a handsome side to her.
The morning is the essence of the day; Tianling Mountain was filled with abundant spiritual energy, and every disciple woke up early to train diligently.
As Mu Yiting walked past several disciples, she left behind a charming smile. Every disciple she greeted returned her smile.
It seemed everyone was in high spirits today; after all, seeing me would undoubtedly motivate them!
As she walked, she bumped into a man carrying a basket of herbs.
“Uncle, are you out collecting herbs? Let me help you~”
“Ah, it’s Yiting! Little girl, how could I trouble you? I’ve collected some spiritual mushrooms; I’ll give you a bit.”
“No, no, I can’t take your spiritual mushrooms…”
“It’s fine, I have plenty. Take them home and make a soup; it’ll do wonders for your health.”
The man handed the mushrooms to Mu Yiting and smiled as he walked away.
【Uncle is still so caring towards me】
Mu Yiting smiled as she tucked the mushrooms into her dress and continued on her way.
At this moment, two young girls walked over, one being Liu Shuqin and the other Su Kexin.
“Good morning, Senior Sister Shuqin, Junior Sister Kexin.”
“Good morning, Junior Sister Yiting.”
“Good morning, Junior Sister Yiting.”
Mu Yiting greeted them respectfully, and both Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin returned the politeness. On the surface, the interaction seemed quite harmonious.
“May I ask where you two are headed?”
“We’re off to practice formations. What about you, Junior Sister Yiting?”
“I’m going to practice swordsmanship.”
“Senior Sister Yiting is really diligent! I heard you recently went out on a mission and achieved great accomplishments.”
“Oh, it’s nothing; it was all thanks to my senior brothers. I was just assisting them. Compared to you two, I still have quite a gap.”
The three girls always wore bright smiles, exchanging pleasantries and chatting about trivial matters, creating a beautiful scene on Tianling Mountain, and soon they dispersed to manage their time.
As Mu Yiting turned away, she let out a soft 【hum】.
【These two girls are also quite popular on Tianling Mountain, but they still pale in comparison to me.】
Mu Yiting was quite confident in herself; she was cute and beautiful and got along well with everyone in Xuanyun Sect. She believed she was more popular and had a higher profile than Liu Shuqin and Su Kexin.
She said she was going to practice swordsmanship, but she actually just wandered around, making sure to greet everyone to solidify her good image in their minds.
After all, she was the most popular girl in Xuanyun Sect.
At that moment, she walked to the edge of a cliff, where a young man was sitting, munching on a Meat Floss Cake, quietly gazing at the scenic mountain view.
【I remember that person is Lin Nuo. He has been doing well lately. If I congratulate him, he would surely be very happy, after all, male cultivators seek compliments from beautiful and cute girls for their achievements.】
Mu Yiting approached Lin Nuo with light steps and a pleasant smile.
“Good morning, Senior Brother Lin Nuo~”
【He must be so excited and thrilled since such a cute girl greeted him first!】
She had already anticipated the result; Lin Nuo would be stunned, stammering as usual, just as he had always been in the past, the young boy getting flustered whenever a cute girl greeted him.
Hearing her sweet voice, Lin Nuo turned, noticing a girl in a white dress with an elegant posture, beautiful and charming.
He set down the Meat Floss Cake and coolly uttered a single word:
“Scram.”
