The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Nine Swords Mountain.

Suddenly, a cloud of colorful clouds drifted by, and a disheveled old man with a slovenly beard sat at the entrance. He was the main person in charge of this recruitment drive at Nine Swords Mountain.

Everyone has to register with him, but if you make even the slightest mistake in your information, he'll start yelling at you, not for any other reason than... because of your low character.

The person in charge was named Yan Ge, the same name as the current Supreme Elder of Nine Swords Mountain. If it weren't for his really bad appearance and really strange temper, everyone would definitely mistake him for that Supreme Elder, which would make things even more tense.

Just then, a girl dressed in red walked over with a list in her hand. The girl in red was extremely beautiful, and there was no trace of spiritual power in her every move.

Halfway there, someone stopped her: "Hey, young lady... you have to be careful. I don't see any spiritual power on you. You're just an ordinary person, right?"

The girl looked over and bluntly said, "Yes, I'm a good-for-nothing."

One sentence left everyone stunned.

Even if we're not sisters, you're way too blunt!

While honesty is a virtue, aren't you being a little too honest?!

The girl's honesty made even the person blocking her way swallow hard.

This girl is so beautiful, I never expected she has mental problems!

However, out of kindness, he still offered a word of advice: "Young lady, since you don't have the talent for cultivation, then... then I advise you not to apply to Nine Swords Mountain. In previous years you could still give it a try, but this year the person in charge is ugly and has an even uglier temper. You might get scolded to tears later!"

The girl laughed, her light golden eyes sparkling.

"Oh, I see... That's a terrible guy, but I'm so kind and pretty, he probably won't say anything to me, right?" After saying that, the girl took her application form and walked away, leaving only a lingering fragrance behind.

The person who stopped him was dumbfounded... no, this wasn't just a matter of being mentally unstable.

That's narcissistic!

Although she is indeed very beautiful, people will still criticize her no matter how beautiful she is!

Everyone was a little tired, and some even started to cover their eyes with trepidation, afraid that they would see the girl crying miserably after being scolded, which was indeed something they should not look at.

But what happened next completely surprised them.

The girl submitted the registration form: "Please take a look, Elder."

Yan Ge was still dozing off because everyone was basically submitting their submissions online through the Internet of Things Hub. He had a bad temper, and it had been a full hour since the last person had submitted theirs.

He was already feeling unwell from being woken up, and he wanted to get angry, but when he heard the other person call him elder, he was momentarily dazed.

Had his flawless disguise been discovered?

Is he going to completely lose face?!

He could only pretend he knew nothing and cautiously accept the other party's registration form.

[Name: Beautiful Girl]

Gender: Female

[Cultivation level: It's too amazing to describe, so I can only write "none"]

[Self-test talent: Useless]

[Notable Background: A kind and innocent little girl who loves wearing red, and incidentally, created the world.]

Yan Ge's brows furrowed instantly. Wasn't this guy here to cause trouble?!

The instant he looked up, he saw that face.

Suddenly, he felt an indescribable soreness spreading from his nasal cavity to his whole body, stimulating his eyes to secrete tears, which fell in large drops.

What happened?

Why did he suddenly burst into tears?

He clearly didn't recognize the person in front of him at all... so why did he suddenly burst into tears?

"you……"

The girl laughed: "What's wrong, Elder? Are you feeling unwell? Or... is my resume so outstanding that you're moved to tears?"

Yan Ge didn't know why he was crying.

He didn't even know why he was so determined to come to the foot of Jiujian Mountain to do grassroots work!

Even though he was already one of the two supreme elders of Nine Swords Mountain, there was always a voice in his heart, an intuition, guiding him to come down to the foot of the mountain to do grassroots work such as recruiting people.

It seems like he's waiting for someone... but he doesn't know who.

So he has always disguised himself like this, partly to cover his face, and partly because he always felt that he had to meet someone with this face.

And now... he wasn't sure if he had finally met this person, but he couldn't stop the tears from streaming down his face.

Then, everyone heard Yan Ge, who had just been cursing at people, now burst into tears like a spoiled young man in his rough and rare voice:

"Wa ...

Everyone looked on in disbelief: "??"

They looked at the girl: "No, what did you do?!"

The girl shook her head: "I don't know, maybe he's just too sexy."

Everyone: "Sexy???!"

How sexy? Just look at how sexy she is.

The young girl asked Yan Ge, "Elder Yan Ge, did I pass?"

Yan Ge was completely confused. He started crying as soon as he saw the girl's face. With so many people watching him, how could he keep crying?

"That's too much! You should leave now. Don't stay here. What about the female lead from Cospree's 'The Red Dress'?"

The girl burst out laughing.

"You know about 'The Story of the Red-Clad Woman'? I'm actually the author of 'The Story of the Red-Clad Woman.' Would you like me to give you a signed copy?"

Yan Ge: "No! Go, go, go now!"

If he keeps crying, his public image will collapse!

Everyone stared at the girl in disbelief: "You're the author of that brainless novel?!"

No wonder his mental state is so advanced.

The girl didn't say much, she just took the pass and left.

After her figure disappeared, a voice suddenly echoed in Yan Ge's mind.

"See you later, Master."

The sound appeared the instant it appeared.

"My precious apprentice?"

Yan Ge froze, staring blankly in the direction the girl had disappeared. Completely overwhelmed, he began to weep, asking those around him, "Where did that person go?!"

Everyone stared at him in astonishment, completely bewildered.

Yan Ge clicked his tongue in frustration and immediately ran towards the first training ground of the Nine Swords Mountain Apprentice Recruitment Ceremony while tears streamed down his face.

At that moment, he was surprised to find that... the disguise technique had failed.

Passerby: "Wait... how come this hot-tempered idiot looks like that? Is he really Elder Yan Ge himself?!"

"Holy crap?! This idiot is Yan Ge?!"

"Aaaaaah! I'm devastated! Holy crap... someone so handsome, and yet so abstract?!"

Yan Ge was completely under strict control, which probably made him even more devastated!

……

Nine Swords Mountain, at the entrance of the first trial ground for the disciple recruitment ceremony.

Ying Wuhuo and his group had already arrived. In order to minimize any trouble, they had to disguise themselves and blend into the crowd.

But after searching around, I still couldn't find the person who described the task.

Just then, Jin Shengfei laughed and looked in one direction: "Hey, look at that girl... why is she setting up a stall there with a gong and drum?"
