Chapter 54: Chapter 52: Good News, Bad News

Shi Nian rubbed his aching brows and eyes: "In any case, the current situation is that our branch has managed to offend all the top-level officials. If the Sect Leader decides to strike at us, it would be good enough if the others don’t kick us while we’re down; they certainly won’t help us."

"Most of the credit for that goes to Senior Brother," Lu Zhuoyan added.

Shi Nian said, "What about the middle level? Master, Honored Uncles, do we have the possibility of... no, that’s not right, taking a path where the lower and middle levels fight back against the upper levels?"

Shi Nian looked at the two of them full of expectation.

Ling Tian Sword Master immediately laughed.

Lu Zhuoyan started looking at the sky and the ground.

Seeing that... Shi Nian understood.

"So, Junior Uncle, what have you done?" Shi Nian asked with a sigh.

With a face full of schadenfreude, Ling Tian Sword Master said: "You know about Chen, the steward in charge of the Dan Hall, right? Fifty years ago, your Junior Uncle released a dog to chase his grandson around for a day and a night. Chen mobilized a lot of people to search the entire Sect until they finally found the trembling grandson on a tree. The poor kid was so terrified that he didn’t dare to sleep for several days and nights. Tsk tsk tsk."

"It was that brat who spat at me first," Lu Zhuoyan replied, feeling aggrieved.

Ling Tian Sword Master chuckled, "However, regarding Steward Chen, there’s some good news and some bad news now. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Having already despaired for the future of their branch, the disciples’ eyes lit up when they heard there was good news.

"Good news!" Several disciples said in unison.

Ling Tian Sword Master stroked his beard: "The good news is, Steward Chen is about to step down soon."

Shi Nian’s spirits lifted: "That’s indeed good news! At the very least, we’ll have one less enemy. But Master, what’s the bad news?"

Ling Tian Sword Master said: "The bad news is... his successor is his grandson."

Shi Nian felt numb.

Ling Tian Sword Master continued: "Yes, that’s the one who was chased by the dog for a day and a night."

For a moment, everyone was at a loss for what kind of expression to make.

The key point is.

This new Steward Chen is sure to give them a hard time.

Why are you, Master, laughing so happily???

"There’s more," Ling Tian Sword Master said: "You know Old Li from the Book Collection Pavilion, right? For many years, he guarded the pavilion with cultivation that even I can’t see through. He has the best temper, and even when a few new disciples treated him with no respect, he never got angry."

"And then?" Shi Nian held onto the last shred of hope.

Such a good-tempered person couldn’t possibly target their branch too, right?

Old Li always boasted that he had read all the books in the Book Collection Pavilion. He once said that whoever could find a book he hasn’t read would be rewarded with a hundred superior Spirit Stones! For many years, no one ever claimed that reward. Until your Junior Uncle appeared..."

"Junior Uncle found a book he hasn’t read?" Lin Tiantian interjected: "Then it’s our Junior Uncle’s skill. He shouldn’t be petty and jealous because of that, should he?"

"That’s right. Looking at it this way, it can’t be considered Junior Uncle’s fault," Mu Nanqing also said.

Ling Tian Sword Master chuckled: "On the first day, your Junior Uncle brought a book over. Old Li had indeed not seen it and gave him a hundred Spirit Stones. On the second day, your Junior Uncle brought two books, and Old Li hadn’t seen those either, so he gave another two hundred Spirit Stones. On the third day, your Junior Uncle brought three books..."

Shi Nian couldn’t help glancing at Lu Zhuoyan.

Lu Zhuoyan appeared nonchalant, as if Ling Tian Sword Master was talking about someone else.

Lin Tiantian said, "No matter how many books Junior Uncle found, that’s all Junior Uncle’s ability. Old Li really is too stingy."

Ling Tian Sword Master looked meaningfully at Lu Zhuoyan: "By the seventh day, your Junior Uncle brought over seven books. Old Li couldn’t hold up anymore. He scrutinized closely and saw that within one of the books there was a character with ink that wasn’t even dry yet. All the books these days... were written by your Junior Uncle himself."

Everyone: "???"

Is that even a legitimate move?

Lu Zhuoyan declared confidently, "He didn’t say I couldn’t write them myself."

"Aside from Old Li, there’s also Steward Sun from the Medicine Garden, she..." Ling Tian Sword Master was about to go on.

Shi Nian interrupted him somewhat hopelessly: "Master, just tell me, do we have any allies within the Sect?"

Ling Tian Sword Master and Lu Zhuoyan both fell into deep thought.

Then, both of them shook their heads at the same time.

Allies? Such things don’t exist.

Shi Nian: "..."

Ling Tian Sword Master cautiously glanced at the expressions of the disciples: "Otherwise, shall we sneak away in the middle of the night?"

Shi Nian took a deep breath: "Sneaking away is absolutely impossible."

Divine Martial Sect is like a big tree in this southern region.

I’ve been surviving just fine here; why should I go out and live a life licking blood off the edge of a knife?

"Xiao Nian, speak your mind, don’t hold back," encouraged the Ling Tian Sword Master.

Shi Nian suddenly stood up and delivered an impassioned speech.

"Our sect is at a critical juncture of life and death! To improve our situation, first, we must make friends broadly. We come from the masses, and we should go among the masses! Through our actions, we must make everyone understand that Ling Tian Peak is harmonious, friendly, and follows the socialist path! We will rise, but we will not bully others; we want development, but we must prioritize peace!"

"Clap clap clap clap clap." Thunderous applause came from below.

Shi Nian was energized: "I think the most suitable person for this task of developing among the masses is..."

Shi Nian glanced at the Ling Tian Sword Master.

The Sword Master had an innocent look on his face.

"Master, you just focus on staying closed off from the world," Shi Nian said.

She then looked towards Lu Zhuoyan.

Lu Zhuoyan was very enthusiastic: "Xiao Nian, pick me, pick me. I’m great at interacting with people."

Shi Nian spoke with an indifferent face: "Junior Uncle, you should join the closed-door cultivation too."

Lu Zhuoyan: "..."

Shi Nian then glanced at her fellow sect members.

The Third Senior Brother is just like a block of ice, eliminate him first.

The Second Senior Brother... well, he is quite handsome and has a good personality, but he has OCD!

Shi Nian feared that the Second Senior Brother might leap to tidy up someone’s clothes while in the middle of a conversation!

As for the Senior Sister, she would be quite suitable, but her main task is to improve her cultivation and strive for the position of the next Sect Leader. We can’t use Senior Sister unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Shi Nian turned to Lin Tiantian: "Tiantian, it will be up to the two of us to handle this."

"Yes!" Lin Tiantian responded spiritedly.

"Making more friends and improving our popularity is the first step," Shi Nian said. "The second step is to strengthen Ling Tian Peak’s power. Among the Five Peaks of Divine Martial Sect, only our Ling Tian Peak has not widely recruited disciples. Isn’t the day to recruit new disciples approaching? This time, our Ling Tian Peak should also accept some new disciples. Strength lies in numbers!"

"Won’t more people make it too noisy?" The Ling Tian Sword Master protested weakly.

"Master, if it wasn’t for you offending everyone, Xiao Nian wouldn’t need to resort to such strategies," Mu Nanqing sighed.

Ling Tian Sword Master: "... Arrange as you please, can’t I just not manage it?"

Shi Nian already had a vague plan in her mind, and upon hearing Ling Tian Sword Master’s words, she immediately seized the opportunity: "Master, then I also need to implement a series of reforms for Ling Tian Peak."

Ling Tian Sword Master with an indifferent demeanor: "Just don’t come to the peak."

"With Master’s words, I’m relieved," Shi Nian’s smile was radiant.

Ling Tian Sword Master: "???"

For some reason.

He always had an uneasy feeling in his heart.

But.

Shi Nian would never do anything to harm Ling Tian Peak, so the Ling Tian Sword Master didn’t give it much thought.
