"Heh, is that so?"

Wei Tu returned the letter of recommendation to Jiang Yuqi, and finally looked at the long-haired boy who had been silent all along and seemed to have a very strange aura.

"And yours?"

"Give."

Xu Qing calmly handed over the letter of recommendation, but the moment Wei Tu took it, she saw the other person's fingers.

Slender and long, she looked very beautiful, seemingly complementing his long hair which covered most of his face, but he quickly pulled it back.

Wei Tu took the letter of recommendation and smelled a fragrance.

That's a bit strange. Did some senior student write this recommendation letter...?

After opening the envelope, Wei Tu glanced at it and looked at Xu Qingtan in front of him with a slightly strange expression.

"Xu Qingtan...has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

Xu Qingtan looked at Wei Tu, as if a sharp gaze was peering at him through the gaps in her hair.

Wei Tu shook his head.

"It's just a bit strange that you already have the talent to establish your foundation. Why would you want to come to the Yuanjian Sect?"

"I just don't want to go anywhere else for the time being."

Xu Qing replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

The handsome young man in front of him smiled and returned the letter to Xu Qingtan.

As Xu Qing took the envelope, she suddenly heard the other person say something softly.

"You need to train hard from now on. It's hard to hold a sword with such beautiful hands, they're like a girl's."

"..." PS: I'm preparing to introduce new plot points and characters. I think it'll be more interesting that way because there will be some changes in identity and personality. Actually, I want to write something interesting and new. That's all for today, I'm going to catch up on sleep, I drank too much yesterday. Please vote, bye~~

71 The three little ones~ (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month~)

"Senior Brother Wei, how many people are there in our sect?"

"Not many, including this batch of newcomers and you all... there are probably around a thousand people."

"A thousand people isn't a lot?"

"Looking at the entire Immortal Continent, a sect with a thousand members is barely considered passable. As for sects with a hundred or ten members... they can't be considered proper sects. For example, the Lu Chen Sect last time publicly disclosed its number of members was 5,971."

"Ah...then why does our sect only have around a thousand members?"

"Some sought better opportunities, while others initially relied entirely on chance when selecting new recruits, without paying much attention to the selection process. In short, this is all normal, and we will not be moving towards a larger number of recruits in the future."

"Oh... So, Senior Brother Wei, what do you do? What's your cultivation level now?"

"What level can someone who has to be a gatekeeper reach? They're nothing to brag about."

Xu Qing listened to the conversation between the chattering girl Qin Xiaoman and the excessively handsome boy.

His expression was very silent.

It was as if this was her true nature, unaffected by any change in circumstances or the person she was with.

Jiang Yuqi also asked some questions, and the boy named Wei Tu answered them in an orderly manner.

Upon arriving at the sect, the young man smiled as he looked at the three of them.

"Alright, the temporary accommodations for you have been prepared, so you can go and settle in now. That's all I can do for now. Next, your senior brothers or sisters will take you to meet the sect elders. That's when they will assess your aptitude and then assign you to different mountain peaks."

He said this gently, stopping at the entrance of the small, not-so-spacious courtyard.

It seems they're finally ready to leave.

At this moment, Qin Xiaoman couldn't help but ask.

"Senior Brother Wei, which mountain are you from?"

He smiled. "Little Iris Peak."

"Then... then do I have a chance to go to Little Iris Peak?"

The girl seemed to be looking forward to being in the same school as this boy who seemed impeccable in every way.

Wei Tu smiled and shook his head.

"There may not be much of a chance. My master is a bit lazy and hasn't taken on any disciples for a long time."

"Oh... okay then."

Wei Tu nodded. “There are three rooms. You can choose your own. The biggest difference between our sect and other places is that we don’t have as many strict rules. As long as you don’t persecute your fellow disciples or do anything that harms the sect, you are largely free. Don’t worry about being wronged. Just talk to the senior brothers and sisters nearby if you have any problems.”

Qin Xiaoman then looked at Wei Tu and asked, "Can we talk to Senior Brother Wei? Will you help us?"

Wei Tu was a bit annoyed by the girl's persistence. He had taken on several batches of disciples today and had encountered infatuated girls like this before. He didn't feel any ill will towards her, but he really couldn't say that he had any particular fondness or interest in her, not to mention that he was surrounded by wolves.

It's not that I'm worried about my own safety, but these little girls might really be unable to withstand those bad older sisters.

"Hehe, of course. Okay, you guys go in and rest first, I still have to go pick up the next batch."

"Take care, Senior Brother Wei~~"

"Ha ha……"

The young man left with a gentle smile.

The remaining three teenagers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Qin Xiaoman sighed, "Oh dear, a guy like Senior Brother Wei... he's probably already been targeted by other senior sisters..."

Jiang Yuqi laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. I've heard that cultivators in the Immortal Continent are much more realistic than ordinary people. They don't just consider looks. Maybe other senior sisters don't even notice his strength, which means you still have a chance."

Qin Xiaoman blushed and said, "How do you know that Senior Brother Wei's strength and realm are not very good?"

Jiang Yuqi said nonchalantly, "He himself said it... He's been reduced to being a doorman, what kind of strength can he possibly have?"

"I think he was just being modest, but you took it seriously. Hey, what do you think, Brother Xu?"

"What do you think?"

Xu Qing seemed to be paying no attention to their conversation, perhaps thinking about something else entirely.

"So... do you really think Senior Brother Wei's strength level is that low?"

I originally thought that Xu Qingtan, who was so arrogant and taciturn, would give a sarcastic answer.

But to his surprise, Xu Qingtan shook his head.

"I don't know, I can't see through him."

This was a rather strange answer, as if Xu Qingtan could see through everyone. Neither of them took it to heart and quickly chose their rooms, quietly tidying up in their respective rooms.

Finally, someone summoned them to the sword-training ground to test their skills and aptitude.

There seemed to be quite a few people on the sidelines of the fencing field, all of them unfamiliar faces.

Some were probably disciples watching the excitement from the sidelines, while others were new disciples who had just joined to see what was going on.

Then the elder named Xie Jin spoke calmly to the three of them.

"Next, we'll give each of you a sword, and then you'll attack these wooden stakes. Don't feel pressured, just do your best. Use any means necessary. The elders, including myself, will assign you to different hilltops based on your performance and style. Don't feel burdened, just come on! Who wants to go first?"

"Me!"

Jiang Yuqi was the first to come out. He was practicing with his sword, trying out different moves.

Suddenly, Qin Xiaoman nudged Xu Qingtan's arm, who had been remaining silent and calm, "Brother Xu, look..."

"..."

Xu Qing looked in the direction Qin Xiaoman was pointing.

Then I saw a somewhat familiar figure sitting in a place where he shouldn't be.

He was still wearing the white clothes I saw him in today. I wonder if cultivators have a particular fondness for white clothes.

I've gotten a little tired of seeing him, but he always seems to bring out a different vibe in himself.

But the strangest thing is his position.

If I'm not mistaken... those sitting next to him were all elders of some age, the youngest being the elder named Lin Ruoyin, who had a rather indifferent look in her eyes.

Why is he sitting in the middle of them? He's not even on the very edge!

This puzzled Xu Qing.

Qin Xiaoman, who was standing next to her, asked curiously, "Why is he sitting there? Is he an elder too?"

Xu Qing shook his head. "It's unlikely. Even if someone this young has the ability and experience, it's hard for them to convince others. There might be some hidden reason."

Just then, he saw the boy looking over and smiled.

Calm and gentle, but Xu Qingtan always felt that there was something else in that smile, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Qin Xiaoman noticed it, and she excitedly raised her hand and waved it.

The boy opposite him chuckled and waved back.

Then the two saw the old man next to the boy, in the very center, seemingly laughing and talking to the boy.

The two were so intimate, seemingly without any airs, which was truly surprising.

But the two soon found themselves unable to continue their discussion.

"Jiang Yuqi... Qing Tingfeng. Next, Qin Xiaoman."

Qin Xiaoman agreed and immediately skipped over to begin the trial.

But Xu Qingtan discovered that the boy was still looking at her.

That look made him very uncomfortable, as if it were peering into him, as if trying to see right through him, making him feel inexplicably nervous.

Soon, Qin Xiaoman was selected to join Xuejian Peak.

It is a place with many female disciples.
