Could it be that I am the cruel villain?

Chapter 235: Chapter 162: Recruiting for Senior Sister

"Swordmaster Peak has been listless since the great disaster last time."

"Originally, Swordmaster Peak was the least populous among the Nine Peaks. Apart from the strict entry requirements, it mainly takes on the significant responsibility of Purple Cloud Palace’s punitive duties, which only those with extraordinary talent and strong will can undertake."

"As you can see, I, as your senior sister, often travel far and wide to chase and capture Evil Spirits, not only to eliminate potential threats to the sect but also to temper my sword, as many Evil Cultivators have notable strength, and there are quite a few who can cross swords with me."

He remembered the time when he accompanied his senior sister on the road, he was so frightened by this statement that he tripped and went headlong into a tree.

Then, Liu Tangxi, who was stepping on the tree branches and drifting by, picked him up by the back of the neck like a small animal and continued forward.

"Although I have some understanding, after all, I am still a junior. Cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage live over three hundred years, and those in the Divinity Transformation Stage can live up to five hundred. Those cultivators who make further progress from a hundred feet are far beyond imagination."

"Have you ever thought about the ultimate fate of these cultivators?"

"In the Evil Spirits that I have chased, I often see disciples from various Great Sects who have gone astray due to demonic possession, including sect stewards, high-ranking members, elders, and even... former Sect Masters."

"Externally, they proclaim that their time has come and that they have died of natural causes, but in reality, they just flee after turning to the Demonic Path, and many cultivators change significantly in both mentality and appearance after turning."

"You ask why the sect does not deal with them... It’s not that they are unwilling, but that they are unable."

"Originally, they held high positions, regarded by their fellow sect members as both teachers and fathers. Even if they really become possessed one day, how could they possibly bring themselves to strike?"

"Moreover, being from the same sect, these skilled individuals know each other’s roots and foundations well. The sect’s array means nothing to them; even the so-called sect protection arrays rely on these predecessors."

"Given their understanding of the sect, it’s impossible to stop them, only letting them cause chaos outside. For the sake of maintaining the sect’s dignity, a suitable excuse must be found."

"But as long as the sect declares their time has come, then all the cultivators in the world meeting them can rightfully kill them, so over the years of pursuing, I consider myself to have honed this three-foot Qingfeng razor-sharp."

"As time changes, it’s naturally time for your sister to consider reorganizing Swordmaster Peak. There hasn’t been a suitable candidate before, but you will soon join and become the senior brother of Swordmaster Peak."

"In a few days, it will be the grand recruitment every five years. As the senior brother, if you are inclined, you may select a batch of promising newcomers to train. You can call me ’senior sister’ normally, but remember to call me ’master’ when registering."

When the youth heard this, he asked curiously, "Why can’t we use the term brother and sister publicly?"

"Oh, because registering as siblings requires you to challenge the second-generation disciples within the sect, you might not grasp the significance, um... starting from the Nascent Soul stage."

The youth sitting cross-legged on the wooden stake slowly opened his eyes.

His expression showed a bit of helplessness.

Last night, while cultivating, he thought of his senior sister again, or perhaps it’s more appropriate to say he dreamt of her, but it was more like a light sleep amid cultivation.

His eyes cleared up, looking sideways, with just the little bit of skill he possesses, he now has to figure out how to scout new disciples for her. It seems that senior sister’s hasty return to the sect was largely due to the need to recruit disciples.

However...

"My level is too low; the techniques senior sister knows are not suitable for instructing those newcomers, what’s really needed is someone with a solid foundation and patience to teach the disciples."

"Otherwise, given my senior sister’s temperament, just teaching for a bit without success, or getting annoyed like six months ago when she taught me, directly stabbing a newcomer with a sword, what then?"

"It’s not that I am being mean, but with my senior sister’s temperament in teaching disciples... *chuckle*!"

Couldn’t hold back.

Not far away, a young girl squatting in the corner seriously reading cultivation books like a startled bunny, immediately grabbed her soft sword and looked around, but soon realized it was Jiang Feng making the noise.

So she put away her longsword with relief.

"Brother Jiang, what happened to you?"

Her expression was curious, it was the first time she saw Jiang Feng smiling so happily.

"It’s nothing, continue your research, I just thought of something interesting, let’s fill our stomachs first, we’ll leave in an hour."

"Okay!"

She nodded vigorously.

Ever since she got the cultivation technique Jiang Feng dropped in the Qiankun Bag, she couldn’t help studying it all night long, finding that a single page contained more detail than she would have gathered on her own in several years.

Jiang Feng still had a smile on his face, he looked at Lin Jiangxian, quite satisfied.

Just overnight, the chaotic Spiritual Energy in her body had stabilized quite a bit, although not yet achieving full integration, at least she wouldn’t regress in her realm.

"Unable to completely grasp the technique must still be due to physical reasons, the meridians are severely blocked, even with a strong learning ability, the hard conditions cannot be broken through, must find an opportunity to put this girl through Body Refining again."

He stretched lazily, twisted his neck, sitting for a night made his body slightly stiff, but he was not in a hurry, he had a month to observe Lin Jiangxian.

Casually taking some food from the Qiankun Bag, thinking of the instructions his senior sister had given him, he sat on a tree chewing the food while starting to ponder.

"Senior sister’s intention to reorganize Sword Control Peak is certainly good, she always travels alone on dangerous missions, at least now she needs to stay in the sect for a while."

"But if I remember correctly, apart from the cleaning stewards, Sword Control Peak only has senior sister acting alone, and now, only including me."

"If we really recruit a bunch of people, where is the time to take care of them, if only Foundation Establishment people it’s alright, since basically they don’t need to be taught the most basic cultivation techniques."

"The problem this time is that many young people of ten-something or seven-eight years old are recommended internally, if we start teaching them... sigh, I hate brats the most."

He pinched his aching brow.

Now he understood why many people with extraordinary abilities prefer to be Loose Cultivators rather than founding a sect, indeed, unless you’re at a realm where you can no longer improve.

Otherwise, founding a sect simply wastes your time, energy, and effort.

"Speaking of which, those two were pretty good, very patient when teaching me, and it wasn’t about rote memorization but was leading me gently..."

He muttered softly.

This scene uncontrollably reminded him of his two enlightenment teachers, and both could also play the roles of the stern or the softer approach.

Lu Luo taught sternly and was responsible for scolding, while Su Yi played the role of a good mother, comforting the children, it’s just a pity, they were separated by thousands, no, tens of thousands of miles.

And moreover... Senior sister probably wouldn’t allow two brothel women to ascend Sword Control Peak.
