If I stay in the Hehuan Sect, I'll live off the pampered daughters of the Heavenly Pride Sect.

Xiao Qinghan asked, "Junior Brother Mo is shaking his head in satisfaction?"

Mo Chengyue said, "I am worried about all of you senior and junior sisters."

"One must be cautious when it comes to matters of love; no matter how beautiful the portrait, one must also consider the person's character."

Xiao Qinghan looked at him.

"You do remember what the Supreme Elder said very well."

Mo Chengyue said, "I am a person who respects teachers and values ​​the Way."

Xiao Qinghan said, "Then you should continue to respect it."

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the rest area near the front desk.

Mo Chengyue stood there for a moment, then finally followed.

Several low tables were set up in the rest area.

There was clear tea and spiritual fruit on the table, separated by a floral screen.

This position allows you to see what's happening at the front desk without being surrounded by disciples.

Mo Chengyue chose a corner to sit down.

You can see the main gate ahead, the male cultivation area to the left, and the female cultivation area to the right. There is a wall behind you.

The first rule for Qingquan Peak disciples to protect themselves when going out.

If you can lean on a solid object, don't leave your back to the air.

Xie Buci brought tea from somewhere and sat down opposite him.

"You've chosen this position very skillfully."

Mo Chengyue said, "It's a habit."

Xie Buci asked, "Are you afraid someone will assassinate you?"

Mo Chengyue said, "Those who stab people in the Love Pavilion don't necessarily use swords."

Xie Buci asked, "For example?"

Mo Chengyue said, "The portrait, the jade slip, the contract, the tea room, and the eldest brother's mouth."

Xie Buci asked, "I'm last in line?"

Mo Chengyue said, "You pose the greatest threat, so you're the last one."

Xiao Qinghan asked a few more questions at the front desk.

The female disciple in the pale yellow dress answered patiently, while the female disciple in the green dress took out several jade slips for her to examine.

Xiao Qinghan asked very detailed questions.

"How are conflicting cultivation methods defined?"

The female disciple in the green dress said, "It depends on the changes in the energy flow when both sides are practicing their techniques."

Xiao Qinghan asked, "What happens to the residual Qi after the temporary contract ends?"

The female disciple in the pale yellow dress said, "Short-term contracts usually include a settlement clause, which allows both parties to dissolve any entanglements according to the contract."

Xiao Qinghan asked, "If the mutual verification of the ancient methods is interrupted midway, will the pavilion arrange for an elder to conduct a follow-up review?"

The female disciple in the green dress became serious.

"If it involves ancient methods, I suggest you consult Elder Wuyou Peak."

The female disciple in the pale yellow dress said, "The Love Pavilion can conduct a preliminary investigation, but the ancient methods are complex, so the elders would be more reliable."

Xiao Qinghan asked, "If I just want to see a sample contract, may I borrow it?"

The female disciple in the pale yellow dress said, "You can look at it in the front desk lounge, but you can't take it away."

Xiao Qinghan said, "Thank you."

Mo Chengyue felt a tightness in his forehead as he listened.

Xie Buci said, "Junior Brother, you don't look well."

Mo Chengyue said, "I feel uncomfortable whenever I hear the word 'contract'."

Xie Buci said, "This is an illness."

Mo Chengyue asked, "Can it be cured?"

Xie Buci replied, "Yes."

Mo Chengyue asked, "How do we treat it?"

Xie Buci said, "Just one signature is enough."

Mo Chengyue said, "Quack doctor."

Xiao Qinghan walked over with a jade slip in her hand and sat down opposite Mo Chengyue.

"Junior Brother Mo."

Mo Chengyue immediately snapped out of his daze.

"Have you finished asking, senior sister?"

Xiao Qinghan said, "I'm done asking."

Mo Chengyue asked, "What are the rules?"

Xiao Qinghan said, "You've thought of things more thoroughly than I have."

Mo Chengyue said, "The Love Pavilion is still useful; at least it can reduce a lot of misunderstandings."

Xiao Qinghan said, "Your evaluation is quite positive."

Mo Chengyue said, "As long as you don't hang me on the wall, I have no problem with it."

Xiao Qinghan smiled softly.

"Junior Brother Mo just looked at quite a few portraits of male cultivators."

Mo Chengyue said, "Know yourself and know your enemy."

Xiao Qinghan asked, "Is there anything worth learning from?"

Mo Chengyue said, "There are indeed a few people who are good at packaging."

Xiao Qinghan asked, "What about the female cultivator portrait section?"

Mo Chengyue picked up his teacup, his tone calm and composed.

"There are also quite a few people who are both talented and good-looking."

Xiao Qinghan asked, "Junior Brother Mo, do you have someone you like?"

Mo Chengyue glanced at her.

"Senior sister, you go first."

Xiao Qinghan said, "I didn't."

Mo Chengyue asked, "Not a single one?"

Xiao Qinghan said, "No."

Mo Chengyue said, "With so many people in the male cultivator area, how come none of them have caught Senior Sister's eye?"

Xiao Qinghan said, "A portrait is ultimately just a portrait."

"I'm here to see the rules, not to pick people."

Mo Chengyue nodded.

"safe."

Xiao Qinghan countered, "And what about Junior Brother Mo? Aren't you interested in those portraits of female cultivators?"

Mo Chengyue said, "Not exactly."

Xiao Qinghan looked at him without saying a word.

Mo Chengyue originally wanted to say that while he could appreciate it, he shouldn't participate.

But his mouth was half a breath faster than his brain.

"I'm only interested in my senior sister."

The moment the words left his mouth, the two female disciples drinking tea next to him stopped what they were doing.

The female disciple in the pale yellow dress at the front desk raised her head.

The female disciple in the green dress paused on half a page as she turned the pages of the jade book.

Xie Buci paused for a moment while holding his folding fan.

Mo Chengyue held the teacup, feeling utterly distraught.

broken.

They went too far with their casual remarks.

Xiao Qinghan didn't expect him to say that.

She sat opposite him, her eyelashes slightly raised, her clear eyes falling on his face.

A thin blush quickly spread across her ears.

"Junior Brother Mo."

Mo Chengyue immediately took remedial action.

"Senior sister, please don't misunderstand."

"What I mean is, compared to those portraits on the wall that I've never met, my senior sister is a reliable person, has a clear background, and we can discuss our cultivation path."

"Therefore, it deserves even more attention."

A female disciple nearby whispered, "That's quite a long explanation."

Another female disciple lowered her voice.

"The longer it is, the more it sounds like the truth."

Mo Chengyue wanted to smash the teacup over his face.

Xiao Qinghan did not expose him immediately.

She gently stroked the edge of the jade slip with her fingertips, the blush on her face still lingering.

"So, Junior Brother Mo is interested in me because I have a clear understanding of my past?"

Mo Chengyue said, "And Senior Sister's swordsmanship is also excellent."

Xiao Qinghan said, "Is it just that your swordsmanship is good?"

Mo Chengyue said, "His Dao heart is also stable."

Xiao Qinghan asked, "Anything else?"

Mo Chengyue said, "She's also good-looking."

A soft chuckle, barely suppressed, came from the front desk.

The female disciple in the green dress coughed.

Mo Chengyue closed his eyes.

It’s over.

This mouth of yours should be sealed today.

Xiao Qinghan's ears turned even redder, but she did not look away.

"Junior Brother Mo is quite frank today."

Mo Chengyue said, "Occasionally."

Xiao Qinghan said, "Then I'll be honest this time too."

Mo Chengyue's mind was filled with alarm bells.

"Senior sister, there's no need to force yourself."

Xiao Qinghan said, "I won't force you."

Mo Chengyue said, "Actually, you don't have to respond to every word someone says while you're alive."

Xiao Qinghan looked at him, the smile on her lips both faint and dangerous.

"How about we try being temporary partners?"

Mo Chengyue almost lost control of his hand holding the teacup.

The rest area suddenly fell silent.

The female disciple in the pale yellow dress had eyes that shone as if she had just read a new storybook.

The female disciple in the green dress had already taken out the registration jade slip.

The two female disciples beside them grabbed each other's sleeves and stopped drinking their tea.

Xie Buci raised the folding fan a little higher, revealing only his peach blossom eyes.

Mo Chengyue looked at Xiao Qinghan.

Xiao Qinghan was also looking at him.

Her cheeks were flushed, but her expression did not falter.

That wasn't a half-joking probing, nor a retaliation after feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

It's more like she actually put a certain idea on the table after reading the rules.

Mo Chengyue felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of bitter medicine.

The script doesn't seem to go like this.

He was clearly just here for a visit.

He said he would never register.

He even checked the second window on the right rear.

In the short time it took to drink a cup of tea, I was pushed to the door of the temporary Daoist partner contract.

Mo Chengyue spoke with difficulty.

"Senior sister, what did you just say?"

Xiao Qinghan said, "You heard that."
