Stop crying, I'll give it to you, okay?

Chi Buwan understood. Thinking of how he had comforted Xiao Wuli earlier, he paused slightly, then slowly raised his hand and gently patted her head, saying, "Don't cry. The Lingxiao Sect will restore your qualifications."

Lin Xiaochun stared at him blankly.

Chi Buwan slightly curved her eyes, withdrew her hand, and opened her palm in front of her. A piece of candied fruit appeared out of thin air in her palm. She said, "If you don't cry, I'll reward you with a piece of candy."

Lin Xiaochun met his peach blossom eyes, her round eyes blinking gently, having already forgotten to shed tears.

【cute.】

So cute!

It's never too late to feel this way.

337 glanced at Xiao Wuli, who had rushed over with Yun Dan and whose face was still somewhat pale, but said nothing.

Not Too Late: [What was the original owner's perspective? Wasn't he supposed to accept beautiful disciples? Lin Xiaochun is so beautiful, why didn't he try to take her?]

Thinking of something, Chi Buwan suddenly paused, then looked terrified.

[Was the original owner gay? All his disciples were male!]

337 glanced at Xiao Wuli, whose eyes seemed a little different, and hesitated before speaking.

While it hesitated, Lin Xiaochun had already reached out and taken the candy from Chi Buwan's palm, and obediently thanked him. Seeing that she was cute, Chi Buwan reached out and patted her head.

The air around us got cold.

337:.......

Finally, it kindly spoke up: "Host, roll up your sleeves."

[Why are you rolling up your sleeves?] Chi Buwan didn't react for a moment, then paused slightly.

337 sighed deeply. [Yes, they're here, in the audience.]

He withdrew his hand lately, calmly lowered his head, and obediently rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his arm.

[You've done a great job.]

I really didn't notice it was too late.

If it weren't for the system's reminder, he would have made a huge fool of himself in front of everyone today.

The first time it was his waist, the second time his legs, and he really couldn't imagine what the third time would be.

If it's the whole body...

He will add 120 pounds of fertilizer to the world.

-

offstage.

After practicing Qi cultivation, Xiao Wuli's hearing became more acute than before. He could clearly hear the voices of the people on the stage, as well as... the noisy yet hushed discussions around him.

"As expected of the Jade Immortal Venerable, she is the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms. If she were to humbly say that she is the second most beautiful woman, then absolutely no one would dare to say that they are the first."

"I've heard that Immortal Jade Immortal goes to the back mountain every day to watch his disciples cultivate. Does that mean his disciples get to see the Immortal Immortal every day?"

"The disciples of Snow Crimson Peak are so lucky. Why wasn't I accepted as a disciple by the Immortal Venerable?"

"You? Forget about it. The Immortal Venerable only accepts people with the most outstanding looks. In all these years, the Immortal Venerable has only 12 disciples."

"It's so nice to be beautiful. Immortal Venerable Jade Immortal has few disciples. While we are still struggling to qualify for the sect tournament, all the disciples from Snow Crimson Peak who could participate have already done so. Even that good-for-nothing Xiao Wuli, the Immortal Venerable found him a Spirit Cleansing Herb a few days ago, which not only helped him break through his cultivation level but also allowed him to participate in the sect tournament."

"That good-for-nothing Xiao Wuli broke through? When did that happen?"

"Brother, your information is a bit outdated. This was such a hot topic of discussion recently, and you didn't hear a thing?"

"That's right, Xiao Wuli broke through. The Cleansing Spirit Grass! Such a rare spirit grass, even Jade Immortal Venerable found it for him and gave it to him directly."

"Xiao Wuli is only good-looking because of his appearance. If he didn't have that face, he might be working as a waiter in some tavern."

"Let's not talk about that. I think I just saw Xiao Wuli come here with the eldest disciple of Xuejiang Peak. Don't let him hear us."

Xiao Wuli stared at the person on stage rubbing the girl's head with his dark eyes, his thin lips pursed, showing no reaction to the words of those around him.

"Senior Sister Lin has been cultivating diligently for this year's sect tournament, and she's a hot favorite to win the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage. Zhang Yixing deserves to die! How dare he make Senior Sister cry!"

"Immortal Jade is coaxing Senior Sister! From this angle, we can't see the Immortal's face, we can only see the Immortal rubbing Senior Sister's head."

"No matter how I stand here, the people over there can definitely see me clearly."

"Luckily, I have a friend standing there; I can ask him later."

"The Immortal Venerable is giving Senior Sister Lin candy!"

"How dare Zhang Yixing disqualify Senior Sister Lin? If he's so capable, he can disqualify me! Come on!"

"Are the disciples of Xuejiang Peak so lucky? They have their masters to comfort them when they cry, and even give them candy."

"....."

Because of the actions of the person on stage, the surrounding people started discussing more, and the conversation continued incessantly, which caught the attention of Xie Hanfeng on stage.

The next second, the audience gasped, their eyes involuntarily drawn to the exposed, fair wrist.

Xie Hanfeng followed their gaze and saw... Chi Buwan, who had rolled up his sleeves.

Xie Hanfeng: ...........

As long as he's there, no matter what happens around him, everyone's attention will be focused on him.

Chi Buwan had just rolled up his sleeves when he shivered.

Why is it suddenly so cold? Has the temperature dropped?

But the exposed wrists were very hot, giving the illusion of being scorched.

337, already dressed in a down jacket, said: [Host, why don't you take a look down at the audience?]

The male lead's eyes were practically spitting fire.

Upon hearing this, Chi Buwan slightly lifted her long eyelashes, looked up at the audience, and immediately spotted Xiao Wuli, who stood out exceptionally beautiful among the crowd.

He paused for a moment, then met his slightly upturned phoenix eyes.

[System, I take back what I just said.] Chi Buwan said: [The original owner's taste was actually quite good.]

Xiao Wuli is truly beautiful; her features are the kind you only see in anime, especially her phoenix eyes. You can't find such perfectly shaped eyes in the real world.

I wonder what it would be like to wear women's clothing.

It should be even prettier.

Chi Buwan was lost in thought.

A burning curiosity.

"Thank you, Immortal Venerable."

A soft voice slowly sounded in his ear. Chi Buwan withdrew his gaze, looked at Lin Xiaochun in front of him, and nodded slightly with his eyes curved.

But female apprentices are still better.

After the sect conference, they'll be accepting new disciples, right?

Um....

Xuejiang Peak is still a bit too deserted; we'll only be accepting ten this year.

There can't be too many, otherwise he'll really have to teach us.

337 put on a down jacket over his cotton-padded coat, glanced at his host who was lost in thought with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth and a smile in his peach blossom eyes, and then glanced at the male lead in the audience whose dark eyes were getting deeper and deeper.

He let out a long sigh.

Next time, it won't be paired with a clueless straight man.
