These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

We finally arrived at Xu Qingtan.

Xu Qing took the sword from Xie Jin and stood in front of the wooden stake.

He took a deep breath.

Then he swung his sword out at several times the speed of the previous people.

"boom!"

The clear sound echoed across the fencing ground, making the air seem to buzz.

The wooden stakes were shaking violently.

A brand new sword mark can be clearly seen on it.

The sound of the sword strike drew the attention of countless people around, and it was clear that many realized the unusual nature of the strike.

Yuan Wei clicked his tongue and looked at Wei Tu beside him.

"Young Wei, this boy named Xu Qingtan is quite talented, but I feel there's something strange about this sword strike."

Wei Tu's lips twitched slightly. "Of course you'd find that strange..."

However, he didn't reveal the strange reason, not because he didn't know, but because he felt he should respect the person's choice.

"Then why?"

Yuan Wei was very curious.

Wei Tu felt that the old man wasn't cute enough.

"Um...I don't know."

"Young Wei, why are you just like your master, knowing the truth but not saying anything, pretending to be ignorant?"

"You yourself said that he is my master, isn't it abnormal for a disciple to resemble his master?"

"Cut~"

Yuan Wei blew on his beard.

Then he said, "Does your Little Iris Peak want this good disciple? You came here today on behalf of your master and haven't chosen anyone yet."

Wei Tu shook his head. "My master told me to come over and said only one thing: she doesn't have time to teach her disciples."

Yuan Wei sighed and shook his head.

"You three, master and disciples, are just going to slack off, aren't you?"

"Hehe, that's just what I'm saying. I'm only focused on cultivation. Maybe when I reach the Divine Realm, I'll have the idea of ​​taking on disciples."

Yuan Wei replied, "Putting everything else aside, just relying on you is enough for your Little Iris Peak to enjoy the benefits for hundreds of years."

"I dare not accept such praise..."

Xie Jin wrote down Xu Qingtan's name, then looked at the elders.

"Let's discuss who wants him. To be frank, Zitan Peak wants this disciple."

At this moment, Chen Ran, who was standing to the side, also raised his arm, "I want one from Crimson Eyebrow Peak too."

Yuan Wei hurriedly shouted, "Qingting Peak is also an option!"

Xie Jin looked at Wei Tu and Lin Ruoyin.

Both of them shook their heads.

It seems they have no intention of participating in the competition.

Qin Xiaoman and Jiang Yuqi both looked at the thin boy with envy.

"As expected, Brother Xu is the strongest among us."

"I wonder what choice he will make... If it were me, I feel that Qingting Peak is the most suitable. It's understandable that Xuejian Peak only chooses women, but why doesn't Xiaoyuan Peak choose one? Is it because there are too many people?"

Just as the two were considering the boy's situation, Xu Qingtan quickly gave his answer.

"I choose Red Eyebrow Peak."

"it is good!"

Chen Ran was naturally all smiles, and even went down to the stage to talk to Xu Qing for a few words. The three of them quickly began their initiation.

They returned to their temporary lodgings at dusk and then gathered together.

Qin Xiaoman said with some emotion, "Soon we'll be moving to different mountain peaks. I wonder what kind of people we'll meet. I've heard that places with a lot of women are quite complicated and troublesome..."

Jiang Yuqi, who was selected for Qingting Peak, didn't think too much about it.

"Anyway, the sect isn't that big, so we can get together anytime, anywhere. But we have to work hard! That kid Wang Mu is getting too cocky. I'm thinking of going to Lu Chen Sect one day to slap him in the face!"

"Hahaha, you really are..."

The two were laughing and joking when they noticed that Xu Qingtan, who was standing next to them, seemed to be silent and lost in thought.

So Qin Xiaoman took the initiative to ask, "Brother Xu, why do you seem a little unhappy?"

Xu Qingtan slowly raised his head to look at them, and then said something that made everyone's jaw drop.

"I want to leave the Yuanjian Sect."

"???" PS: I feel like Xianxia (fantasy/cultivation) stories are quite interesting. School settings and all that nonsense, lol. These three little ones give me a lot of interesting ideas for plots. Respecting teachers and then disciplining... no, teaching disciples is also quite interesting. We'll see what happens later. After finishing this one, I'm going to write another Xianxia! A more interesting one, hehe~~ Also, why haven't I got a thousand monthly votes yet? Did I do something to displease you guys?

72. What did you hear? (Seeking votes at the beginning of the month~)

Jiang Yuqi and Qin Xiaoman didn't know why Xu Qingtan would say such a thing.

Is it reasonable for a young boy who is so highly regarded to show signs of wanting to quit as soon as he has just started learning?

That's clearly unreasonable.

However, Xu Qing seemed unwilling to say more, and Jiang Yuqi and Qin Xiaoman could only take it as yet another strange thought process of this eccentric boy.

Only Xu Qing knew the reason why she had the idea of ​​retiring.

He did indeed sense a vibrant atmosphere here, but... the boy's presence was just too strange. He seemed out of place yet lived here so naturally.

The key point is that I sensed a threatening aura emanating from him.

Although he showed no hostility, it seemed that his secret was no big deal here.

But it seemed to make me feel a little uncomfortable.

Xu Qing was somewhat worried that these things would happen, but she wasn't that afraid; it was just a temporary, uncertain thought.

If the other party is trying to use this incident to harass you...

He plans to wait a few days.

But she found that the boy had rarely appeared in front of her these past few days. When they did meet, he would just nod and acknowledge her. It seemed that the scene she had imagined had not happened.

As I moved to Red Eyebrow Peak, I heard more about that boy.

Finally, a few days later, at a small gathering of the three, all of this information came together and came to a head.

The incident stemmed from Qin Xiaoman's reflections after sharing some of her recent experiences.

"Sigh... I guess I don't have much of a chance."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yuqi asked, chewing on a peanut.

Qin Xiaoman shook her head regretfully.

"I'm telling you, Senior Brother Wei..."

"What's wrong? I heard you've been trying to get close to Senior Brother Wei, but he rejected you?"

Jiang Yuqi said with a smile.

Qin Xiaoman nodded, sighed, and said, "I had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so I thought I would have more confidence. But guess what I saw?"

"What?"

Jiang Yuqi looked over, and Xu Qingtan followed suit, seemingly no different from usual.

"He... has a very close relationship with one of our sect's most beautiful senior sisters... to the point that he can go to her room without even saying hello, and the two of them can stay there for a long time, sometimes even spending the night there..."

Jiang Yuqi suddenly looked at Qin Xiaoman with some nervousness, "Who is it?"

"Let's call him Su Mi..."

The peanuts in Jiang Yuqi's hand fell to the ground.

"OMG……"

Qin Xiaoman looked at Jiang Yuqi strangely, "What's wrong with you...you wouldn't be...?"

Xu Qingtan suddenly found it amusing and said with a slightly sarcastic tone, "He went to Xuejian Peak to look for you last time, and then he ran into me when he came down. He said there was a beautiful senior sister on Xuejian Peak who made his heart flutter... I suppose..."

Jiang Yuqi lay on the table with his hands raised, "Alright, alright, stop talking. I admit I can't beat Senior Brother Wei... I've given up."

After saying this, Jiang Yuqi suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open.

Do you know how outrageous Senior Brother Wei is?

Qin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment. "What do you mean? I just heard female disciples often mention him. Senior Brother Wei is very popular."

Jiang Yuqi immediately became excited.

"Didn't Wang Mu say that Lu Chen Sect was very powerful? I just heard that three disciples from Lu Chen Sect came to spar with our sect. Guess what happened? That Lu Chen Sect disciple is said to be very talented, practically the hope of the new generation, but he was defeated by Senior Brother Wei with just two sword strikes!"

Xu Qing casually picked up the wine on the table, took a sip, and then said.

"He was one of only two people to return from the trials of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. A few days before we went up the mountain, several young people came from the Divine Continent of Light and defeated six disciples with some talent from various sects. But he appeared and fought three of them all. There seem to be many more such incidents."

Qin Xiaoman looked at the two of them in surprise, and Jiang Yuqi was also taken aback. In this short time, he only knew the tip of the iceberg. Mainly, he felt that the other party was not much older than him, and knowing more would only make him more jealous and cause him to lose his balance.

But now it seems we have to admit that this young man's life is so legendary at such a young age... anyone who hears it would be confused.

Qin Xiaoman also lay down on the table.

"Wow...that's amazing. When will I be able to become someone like Senior Brother Wei?"

Jiang Yuqi was also lying on the table, holding a wine glass.
