Chapter 28: Chapter 28 People Outside the Corridor Remain Silent (Beg for Follow-up Reading!)_1

Winter snow fluttered down, a cool breeze gently brushing by, refreshing.

Dark swallows flitted through the thin mist, circling the exquisite courtyard.

On the mountain peak where Wenren Pingxin resided, groups of disciples passing by that refined courtyard all slowed their pace and lightened their steps, moving so quietly they could not be heard.

In twos and threes, they walked together, and one could faintly hear a lilting melody drifting through the green surroundings.

Some female disciples clutched their hands, gazing at them in a daze. These were the hands that had once been fortunate enough to touch the Fifth Elder’s robes. They giggled foolishly, somewhat anticipating the arrival of night.

Everyone feared disturbing the Fifth Elder’s discussion with the Acting Sect Leader.

They discussed in hushed tones:

"The Fifth Elder is an eternal monument in our hearts!"

"Yes! I also want to be like the Fifth Elder said, to have the chance to cleave the heavens with a single strike!"

"We all have a chance; you can always trust the Fifth Elder!"

"The Sword Sect can’t lose the Fifth Elder, just like the West can’t lose Jerusalem!"

"This year, with the Fifth Elder presiding over the recruitment assembly, we definitely won’t be last."

"..."

A True Inheritance disciple of the Sword Sect, dressed in blue, gazed at the courtyard that seemed like a sacred ground, his eyes full of yearning.

"Sigh! Who knows what profound topics Elder Su and Elder Wenren are discussing. It must surely relate to the future development of the Sword Sect..."

The blue-clad disciple beside him nodded, then shook his head, his face etched with lament.

"Too small, your thinking is too small! I reckon with Elder Su’s great talent, he’s currently discussing the future developmental trajectory of the Twenty-One Provinces with the Sect Leader."

"I wonder what profound impact this lengthy, epochal dialogue will have on the Sword Sect’s future..."

"This courtyard’s location—in the future, there must be a spot for me, Hua Da Dao! I, Hua Da Dao, declare it!"

"..."

Among the Sword Sect disciples, there were sighs, yearnings, expectations, moments of inspiration, and even shyness...

In any case, they all expressed their profound respect for the courtyard they had never set foot in.

Outside the corridor, not a word was spoken.

Inside the corridor... the intensity of the pulling and hauling was no less than that of peddlers who haggled in the market year-round.

Faintly, one could even hear voices akin to old men and women bargaining over cabbages in the market!

"Add five more taels for me!"

"Impossible! No more!"

"Just give me five more taels, and I’ll leave without another word!"

"Bei Bei, you’re not being sincere at all! Who haggles like you do? I can’t reduce it any further!"

"Which sect only allocates one hundred taels for recruitment? Adding ten thousand wouldn’t be too much!"

"Good heavens! Daring to ask for one hundred taels of gold for a single recruitment drive—are you tired of living? Is there anyone more prodigal than you?"

"Senior Sister, it’s truly not enough! What can a hundred taels of gold do? Yesterday, the chicken soup my disciple stewed—that fifty-year-old Phoenix Feather Big Head Chicken alone sold for more than ten thousand taels..."

"Oh? So you’re quite rich, are you? In that case, you won’t get the hundred taels either."

"..."

Wenren Pingxin’s beautiful eyes darted as she looked at the indignant Su Bei, one delicate hand on her hip, the other pointing at his face.

Her entire body had long since left the bed. Her long hair cascaded smoothly down her back. Due to her agitation, the robe that had been tightly wrapped around her had already fallen open to the sides, revealing the light-green, semi-transparent gauze beneath.

Clinging tightly to her body, the gauze completely exposed those hard-to-conceal, magnificent, and ample jade bowls to Su Bei’s eyes.

It was just that—the face that could topple nations, reflected in Su Bei’s eyes, was filled with a sharp, mercenary air.

Su Bei took a deep breath, cast one last lingering glance, and then, somewhat unwillingly, turned away.

That streak of snow-white lingered in his mind, refusing to dissipate.

She wasn’t wearing anything?

Su Bei had to admit, purely in terms of allure, among all the people he had met over these many years, only Wenren Pingxin could perfectly interpret this somewhat intellectual type of coquettish charm.

Elegance mingled with languor; a single glance was enough to stir the most primal flutter in one’s heart.

In this aspect, Dan Wulan was lacking, Dan Wuque was lacking, and as for Xiao Ruoching... she was even further from this kind of temperament.

Then he pursed his lips, sighed, and said faintly, "Alas, what a pity she has a mouth..."

"..."

Seeing Su Bei, who had been arguing with her, suddenly and inexplicably turn away, Wenren Pingxin frowned, a trace of bewilderment in her eyes.

Just like that? I haven’t even brought out half my skill, and he’s admitting defeat?

She then shifted her body slightly, her posture graceful and elegant, and sneered, "What’s wrong, Junior Brother? Giving up so soon?"

Su Bei maintained his composure, swiftly banishing thoughts of ’bowls’ and ’mounds’ from his mind. He then cleared his throat and said, "Um, Senior Sister, although I grew up by your side since childhood, I am now over five hundred years old."

"We should still pay a little attention to propriety..."

"..."

Wenren Pingxin blinked her autumn-water eyes and then lowered her head.

From this angle, she couldn’t see her feet at all.

Immediately after, a blush instantly rose to her cheeks. She re-wrapped her long robe tightly, coughed lightly, and said nonchalantly, "Propriety? Heh, what part of you haven’t I seen?"

"Still acting shy, are we?"

"Turn around. I’m not going to eat you."

"..."

Su Bei turned around and saw Wenren Pingxin already lying back down on the couch, covered with who knows how many layers of quilts. He couldn’t help but shake his head in disappointment.

She’s only good at trash-talking.

If you have the guts, then be open about it, huh?

Wenren Pingxin calmed her wildly beating heart, smoothed her dark hair with a delicate hand, bit her thin lip lightly, and sighed, "Bei Bei, the Sword Sect truly has no spare money left."

"Even the collection of books in the Sword Concealing Pavilion are just cheap, unwanted rejects that others didn’t want, acquired at low prices."

"The Sect’s operations have become increasingly difficult over the years. Our Sword Sect, unlike other sects, doesn’t have vassal sects continuously offering tribute."

"The Sect’s resources are only enough to sustain the disciples’ daily cultivation, food, drink, and other necessities."

"The rule set down by Master back then was that the Sword Sect would not accept any vassal sects."

"Sigh..."

Su Bei frowned.

He hadn’t expected the Sword Sect’s current situation to be so precarious.

But it really didn’t show on the surface...

Just as Su Bei was pondering, Wenren Pingxin spoke again, "Bei Bei, the reason I’m having you preside over this recruitment assembly is because Senior Sister knows your mind is quick and resourceful."

"Look at these other sects, relying on their wealth and power, promoting themselves like their lives depend on it. What is all this stuff?"

"It’s simply indecent!"

"..."

Su Bei, filled with doubt, unfolded the list Wenren Pingxin had handed him earlier. His eyes widened as he stared at the words on it:

Wuhua Palace promises:

[Every male disciple who joins Wuhua Palace will have one highly skilled senior sister providing one-on-one personal guidance.]

[Every female disciple who joins Wuhua Palace will have one amiable senior brother providing one-on-one personal guidance.]

[Benefits for all who join!]

Wudao Pass promises:

[Come and get gifts! Gifts, gifts, gifts! We’re giving them away non-stop!]

[Just come to Wudao Pass and immediately receive an exquisite gift!]

[What’s more, Wudao Pass has eighteen Refining Void True Immortals to personally guide you! Ensuring your future immortal path is vast and limitless!]
