In the end, Shen Xingcong has completely abandoned his self-esteem. Although his gaze fell on these people, his eyes were disorganized, as if he wasn’t looking at anything.
When he finished shouting the last sentence, he had entered the realm of the Buddha and himself.
Okay, that’s it. Just think of him as a perverted senior brother who is obsessed with his little junior brother. For the sake of world peace, this bit of shame was considered nothing.
…
Wu wu wu.
Shen Xingcong was crying inwardly.
After he kept his mouth shut, no one made a sound in the Shangong Hall for a long time. Most of them were so shocked to the point of speechlessness.
And yet the first person to break the ice was actually Xiao Lin. He said to everyone: “It seems to be like this.”
Everyone gasped.
Shen Xingcong: “…”
You might as well stop talking!
“So, so that’s how it is.”
Even Lan Jin was a little shaken. Perhaps Shen Xingcong’s cry just now was too sincere for an ordinary person to do, so he didn’t doubt it.
“I understand what’s on your mind.” Lan Jin said, “However, cultivation also means cultivating one’s mind. Although Xiaoyao Sect is not strict about this matter, caring too much about love may hinder your cultivation…”
Shen Xingcong heard that the wording wasn’t quite right.
He hasn’t started to talk and heard Steward Hu frown: “It turned out to be so, it actually like this!”
It seemed that he had done something outrageous.
“Although cultivators don’t care about age, there are also Dao companions who are nearly hundreds of years difference.” Lan Jin glanced at Xiao Lin from the side, “But Xiao Lin is not very old now, so you need to be cautious.”
Shen Xingcong: “…”
What, did these people misunderstand something?
He tried to explain: “I have a brotherly love with my junior brother, just like family…
“That’s true,” Lan Jin smiled, “Very deep affection.”
This was absolutely unbelievable.
Shen Xingcong cried out silently in his heart.

He didn’t want to be regarded as a pedophile!

However, Shen Xingcong was an appropriate modern man. In his eyes, Xiao Lin was just a little kid with no hair yet.
This little kid was just a great demon inside, that’s all.
Could it be that he was too excited to convince everyone just now?
Shen Xingcong still wanted to explain but was interrupted by Lan Jin.
“Since both of you are willing, then let’s leave it at that for the time being.” He said, “But you need to be punished for quitting halfway. In the next month, the contribution amount of the two of you will be doubled.”
“After this, I still need to rush back to the inner sect to discuss important matters. If you have nothing else, then you can withdraw.”
Xiao Lin: “Yes.”
Shen Xingcong drooped his head and walked out.
Although he barely managed not to arouse suspicion, he always felt he had just lost something very important.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard Lan Jin calling out: “Wait a minute.”
The two looked back.
Lan Jin: “If you find anything abnormal in the sect recently, report it as soon as possible.”
“?” Shen Xingcong answered, “Yes.”
He didn’t ask much.
Since Lan Jin didn’t say explicitly, he indicated he didn’t want them to know the details. He remembered that Steward Hu was very agitated before entering the door. Could it be that something has happened to Xiaoyao Sect?
But looking at the original book, except for some problems in the dreamland assessment, there were no abnormalities beforehand.
What’s more, he took Xiao Lin away now. Without the lure of the uncertain factor of the demon seed, the probability of the dreamland assessment connecting to the Hundred Desolation Demon Realm should be extremely low.
He couldn’t make sense of it.
Forget it. This has nothing to do with him as an outer sect disciple in the ninth stage of Qi training. The affairs of the Xiaoyao Sect could be handled by the experts themselves, and he could take good care of Xiao Lin.
“Have you packed up your clothes last night?” Shen Xingcong said, “But we’re also not in a hurry. The final election is tomorrow, and everyone’s attention will definitely be on the assessment at that time. We can take advantage of it to leave then.”
Xiao Lin: “Okay.”
“Take a good rest today.” Shen Xingcong patted his shoulders casually, “When we get out of Xiaoyao Sect, we aren’t familiar with the outside environment, so I’m afraid we might be a little rushed. You should prepare more cold-proof clothes.”
Xiao Lin glanced at the palm on his shoulders and asked: “Senior brother’s words just now are false, right?”
Shen Xingcong: “Of course, it’s fake.”
He noticed Xiao Lin’s gaze and immediately lept away.
“You don’t care about this, right? Then I won’t touch you.”
Xiao Lin smiled: “It’s just that senior brother said it too sincerely. I’m still a bit worried…”
Shen Xingcong: “Your worried is nonsense! A little kid who hasn’t grown any hair and is a man. I’m more or less tempted by Ruhua as well.”
Xiao Lin: “Who is Ruhua?”
“Just…” Shen Xingcong recalled a scene, “A woman with a long beard.”
Xiao Lin shook his head: “Senior brother actually has such tastes.”
I don’t!
Shen Xingcong has been despised for a long time and didn’t want to bring up this topic anymore.
“I’m going to prepare some spiritual foods and medicines. If you need anything, get it ready as soon as possible.”
He left after saying this sentence.
.
The next day, the matter of Xiao Lin’s halfway withdrawal really caused controversy. But it was only for a moment, and soon, everyone’s attention was attracted by the selection.
Unlike the previously written examination, the dreamland assessment was considered a large project. Elder Jing Xin was responsible for opening the spiritual realm. This could only be done by experts who are out-of-body period and above.
Although the outer sect disciples couldn’t see the scene inside, the moment the spiritual realm opened was quite magnificent. Either causing a sudden change in the sky or the radiance of the color representing the spiritual roots was spread open as unreal as a dream. It was in line with all ordinary people’s fantasies about cultivation.
“I originally thought it would be great to be able to learn how to ride on a flying sword. But if someday I can open the spiritual realm like Elder Jing Xin, I will really be immortal.”
“Come on. Even in our Xiaoyao Sect, you can count the experts in the out-of-body period with only two hands. You, an outer sect disciple, had better cultivate well.”
“What’s wrong with thinking about it?” The man muttered to himself, “Did you violate the sect rules by thinking about it?”
Regardless of that talking, everyone was still discussing it with great interest since then.
At the same time, while taking advantage of everyone’s attention on the selection, there were two shadows slipped near the gate of Xiaoyao Sect without anyone noticing.
Shen Xingcong took Xiao Lin to hide in the shadows, and patrol disciples were standing guard not far away.
“Sure enough, there are people.”
Even at this time, the guards at the gateway wouldn’t be negligent.
But Shen Xingcong had been in Xiaoyao Sect for more than a month, and he was already very familiar with the surroundings of the outer sect. This road was impassable, but there were also other ways to go.
Shen Xingcong motioned Xiao Lin to get up with him and walk a few steps, but he saw that the other person didn’t follow.
“Come here.”
Shen Xingcong whispered.
Xiao Lin glanced at him, still not moving.
You wouldn’t back out halfway, would you?
Shen Xingcong went to pull the other up but was dragged instead.
“Senior brother, squat down.” Xiao Lin said.
There were dense bushes ahead, and the two of them were hiding in the woods. Shen Xingcong was confused but still did as he said.
Not long after, he suddenly saw a figure flash before his eyes.
The distance was extremely close as if it was against the tip of his nose. If he just went out for another inch, perhaps it would bump against him directly.
But Shen Xingcong didn’t hear the footstep at all, nor did he notice the breath of anyone coming.
Of course, he was only in the ninth stage of Qi training. As long as that person’s cultivation was higher than his and deliberately concealed his breath, he would naturally not notice him. But how could Xiao Lin be aware of him?
He didn’t have enough time to think too much because, after that dark shadow, another figure chased after him.
Compared with the former, this person walked leisurely and wasn’t in a hurry at all. With a casual wave of his hand, a golden light flashed out from his sleeve.
“Boom!”
Shortly after that, there was a loud noise. The tree trunk in front of him seemed to have been struck, and fallen leaves rustled and fell down.
Shen Xingcong raised his eyes cautiously. When he saw that person’s appearance clearly, he couldn’t help but feel his heart tighten.
It’s Lan Jin!
Why was he here? According to the time, he should be waiting near the spiritual realm at this time.
Shen Xingcong didn’t dare to let out his breath and almost wanted to fuse together with the plants and trees. He never thought about it, yet he heard the next sentence.
“There are two friends nearby.”
He heard Lan Jin speak with a smile.
“Please show up.”
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(ŐωŐ人)
I almost thought they can escape without any trouble. Who am I to actually think that main characters don’t have conflicts and thrills? XD Lan Jin ah, what’s happening? He seems to be a very important side character in this novel!
Oop got caught almost immediately~
Thank your for your hard work
The title next chapter: Local Outer Disciples Caught Eloping During Selection Exam
😂😂😂😂😂😂
thank you for the update!
Oh my, wonder who the person that Lan Jin was chasing? 🤔 This is getting way more interesting than the original plot!
Good story I look forward to your updates ☺
“he felt he had just lost something very important”
Your dignity 😭 you’ve just lost your dignity, my friend.
Another story that was abandoned, I guess…? Is it possible on CG to give a story to another translator? If so, would you please consider doing it? I’d really like to continue reading this…
…aya…they were caught before they could even take a step out ah….haha…..im also quite surprised how xiao lin could notice that…
Today, we gather to memorialize Shen Xingcong, who gave everything in service of saving the world. May his immensely humiliating sacrifice be remembered forever, amen.
