Chapter 32: Spring Breeze Pavilion

"Is it you?"

Seeing the long-haired beauty walk out, Yan Xiao felt a headache coming on.

Could it be that she had come to seduce him again?

Was he being seduced? Or was he being seduced?

How conflicted he felt.

"Husband, I..."

"Stop!"

Luo Ying twisted her slender waist, wanting to get closer to Yan Xiao, but Yan Xiao stopped her.

"State your purpose. Let's speak plainly; I prefer to be direct. Don't play these games; it is absolutely impossible for me to be seduced by you."

Yan Xiao said with a straight, serious face.

"Owner, the system detects that you are lying," the system bluntly exposed him.

"I'm dealing with serious business, don't interrupt," Yan Xiao replied with dissatisfaction.

"Owner, you swore that you would not build a harem," the system reminded him.

Did he? Did he really?

Yan Xiao didn't have time to reflect before Luo Ying had already walked over, "Luoxia Mountain needs a chief disciple like you."

Luo Ying shed her coquettish and affected posture, her tone becoming sincere.

"Are you the condition offered by Luoxia Mountain?"

Yan Xiao gave a contemptuous smile.

Luo Ying bit her lip tightly, nodded in shame, and then her gaze became firm as she looked at Yan Xiao and said, "If you are willing to join Luoxia Mountain, I will be your woman, and I will never betray you."

"Sorry, I cannot accept," Yan Xiao shook his head and turned to leave.

"Why? Am I not pretty enough?"

Luo Ying said, unconvinced; she had debased herself so much, why couldn't she move Yan Xiao?

"Qingxue is prettier than you," Yan Xiao said directly, not wanting to waste words with her.

"Is it that... girl with the eyes?" Luo Ying asked.

That girl was a few years younger than her, and her features were indeed better than hers, but she was blind; compared to that, she still felt she had the advantage.

"Yes, she is better than you in every way."

Yan Xiao gave a contemptuous smile.

"I... my chest is bigger than hers! I can even be a concubine!"

Luo Ying gritted her teeth and said; to win over Yan Xiao, she was truly going all out.

Yan Xiao almost fell over; when did the girls of this world become so open? Were such shameful words meant to be said so casually?

How embarrassing!

"First, you are not merchandise; do not use yourself to trade for anything. A you like this is very pathetic and very cheap.

Second, I do not think highly of a sect that can treat its disciples as merchandise for trade, so you should go."

Yan Xiao suppressed the restlessness in his heart, feigned a calm and breezy appearance, and said to the long-haired beauty.

Luo Ying was stunned, biting her lip and staring at Yan Xiao with her beautiful eyes.

Was she devastated by the blow?

Or was she intimidated by his kingly aura?

He didn't know why she was looking at him with such lecherous eyes.

It made Yan Xiao feel flustered.

"I wasn't sent by the sect; I came of my own volition.

These past few days, the Elders have been discussing you, talking about your deeds and your character.

The Third Elder said that as long as you are pulled into Luoxia Mountain, Luoxia Mountain will still have hope for a resurgence.

So I hope to help them; I want to do something for them."

Luo Ying gripped her skirt tightly with both hands and lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong, aggrieved and helpless.

"Because of various reasons, my impression of Luoxia Mountain is not good, so don't waste your effort. Instead of begging others with your head bowed, it is better to strive for yourself, cultivate hard, and one day you will be able to lead Luoxia Mountain to glory.

I believe in you; you can do it."

Yan Xiao began his "bluffing" technique again.

And it must be said, this girl Luo Ying was completely taken in by his bluffing, blinking her large eyes, filled with fighting spirit.

But a moment later, she deflated again.

Dejected, like a defeated rooster.

"Master drank someone's flower wine and didn't even pay, and the sect is so poor it's rattling; we can barely put food on the table. As a weak woman, what can I use to make the sect rise?"

Luo Ying said, feeling lost.

Yan Xiao was speechless; he really couldn't imagine that a large sect could be so poor they couldn't even pay for wine.

"The Great Elder was in charge of finance, and the Second Elder was in charge of Spirit Pills and weapons, but both Elders suddenly went missing, and their Longevity Tablets shattered. Master said they might have encountered a great demon and met a tragic end.

So, Luoxia Mountain is truly teetering on the edge now."

Luo Ying explained.

One in charge of finance, one in charge of Spirit Pills?

This statement drew Yan Xiao's high attention.

At the time, Yan Xiao thought that the dead should be respected, so he didn't loot their belongings and threw them into a large pit to bury them together.

A sect's wealth and Spirit Pills! It seemed necessary to go back and do some digging...

"Young Master Yan... can you understand my hidden difficulties?" Luo Ying asked.

"Ah? Understand... understand..." Yan Xiao pulled back his thoughts and said perfunctorily.

"Then are you willing to join Luoxia Mountain?"

Luo Ying looked at him with a face full of expectation.

"Not willing."

Yan Xiao said straightforwardly.

What kind of international joke is this? A crumbling sect; joining them would mean helping to pay off their debts. Only someone with a hole in their head would go and be that bullshit chief disciple.

Luo Ying lowered her head in disappointment.

She did not force Yan Xiao to join anymore; she also knew this was too much to ask. Her only reliance was her appearance, but he simply did not care for it.

"Junior Sister, I told you it was impossible for Brother Yan to covet your beauty and join Luoxia Mountain."

Qian Youdao slowly walked out from the corner.

Seeing Yan Xiao, he immediately cupped his hands in a salute, "Senior Brother Xiao Yan."

"Fine, you have all investigated me, so stop pretending."

Yan Xiao rolled his eyes; he still had a rather good impression of Qian Youdao.

"No offense intended, please forgive me, Senior Brother," Qian Youdao said with an apologetic smile.

Calling him Senior Brother at every turn, it sounded very intimate.

Yan Xiao took out the Sect Master Token and handed it to Qian Youdao, "Returning the token to you all, don't come bother me anymore."

Qian Youdao bowed and stepped back, not taking the token in Yan Xiao's hand.

What is the meaning of this?

They don't even want the Sect Master Token?

Yan Xiao looked at the two of them in confusion.

Suddenly, a silent sense of crisis arrived. A black shadow flashed before his eyes, and Yan Xiao felt a chill on his neck; a cold, gleaming sword was pressed against his throat.

The newcomer was reeking of alcohol, eyes bleary with intoxication. He let out a hiccup and said to Yan Xiao, "My name is Luosang, Luoxia Mountain's... Fifth Elder. Today I am kidnapping you back to be the chief disciple of Luoxia Mountain. Whether you agree or not, you must agree."

Damn it!

Can you even play like this?

Yan Xiao loosened his hand holding the Sanwa Card; it seemed there was no danger to his life.

"I say, what is the point of this? Even if I'm unwilling, it's useless for you to kidnap me back."

Yan Xiao spread his hands, looking very innocent.

To actually force him to be the chief disciple, and not doing it isn't an option.

It's all to blame on this charm of mine that has nowhere to settle.

Yan Xiao expressed that he was very helpless.

"Owner, the system suggests you agree to Luosang's request. He is an expert; even with Three-Child Possession, the Owner might not be able to beat him."

The system reminded him.

Yan Xiao raised an eyebrow; is he that powerful?

"The Owner needs to establish his own force to gain a firm foothold faster. Luoxia Mountain is a good choice. As for the development of Luoxia Mountain, with the system's help, what are you afraid of?"

The system tempted him again.

Yan Xiao thought about it, and that was true.

Finding the Storage Bag of the Great Elder and Second Elder would mean Luoxia Mountain's predicament would no longer be an issue, and he could gain a few lackeys for nothing; it seemed like a good choice.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiao could not help but say, "It is fine if you want me to be the chief disciple of Luoxia Mountain, but you must all listen to my arrangements and give me sufficient authority.

I don't want to be your cannon fodder and pay money for you for nothing."

"I recommend you become the Sect Master, the entire Luoxia Mountain will listen to you. Is that satisfactory?"

Luosang said drunkenly.
