Giving Zhu Que a Tour
Then walking out of the small cave that the cascading waterfall blocked, Ye Rou walked out, lively as ever.
"Second Senior Sister, don't joke. This is a potential disciple that Master found, and I'm taking the time to show her around the mountain." Xue Bai spoke with a wry smile.
Since Xue Bai didn't have Spiritual Sense yet, he didn't notice her in the cave even though she was so close by, while Ye Rou could notice them.
Ye Rou was also taking a break from cultivating and noticed the picturesque waterfall, but after she entered the cave behind it, she felt it was such a soothing environment that she fell asleep. But she was thankfully awoken by Zhu Que and Xue Bai talking.
So after hearing she had another potential Junior Sister, Ye Rou's eyes lit up. Other than Xiao'er, every disciple that Yue Zifeng took on was a genius that could lead a generation. So curious, she went over to examine her newest addition to their lineage.
However, after giving Zhu Que a thorough look, Zhu Que became confused very quickly.
"You're only at the 2nd stage of the Vein Transformation realm?" Ye Rou asked, somewhat shocked.
This girl seemed to be 15-16 years old already, and yet she barely even started cultivating. How could their Master take on a disciple this slow at cultivation?
"Second Senior Sister, she had just awakened her Martial Veins a little less than a month ago. She came from the Barren Lands. It's the grade of her Martial Veins and her bloodline that makes her so talented." Xue Bai spoke up from the side.
He could see Zhu Que's ears droop down like a puppy's when Ye Rou unintentionally insulted her. Zhu Que was obviously self-conscious about her low cultivation, especially to those her age, but there wasn't anything she could do about it in the short term.
"Barren Lands? But why does her skin feel so nice?" Ye Rou questioned as she got a little handsy, touching the hands of Zhu Que, "I heard that the people there are like mortal farmers with rough skin."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhu Que felt uncomfortable at the sudden touching, but since the culprit was her future Senior Sister, she forced herself through it. But after Ye Rou started touching her face, Zhu Que couldn't anymore, jumping back.
"Senior Sister, please condone yourself better!" Zhu Que admonished as she jumped behind Xue Bai for cover.
"Ah. Hehe." Ye Rou laughed awkwardly in response. She knew she had gone too far, "Sorry, Junior Sister, it's just your skin felt so supple. It was like pinching a baby's bottom. I lost myself in the feeling."
"Second Senior Sister, we'll take our leave. Sister Zhu still needs her identification token." Xue Bai quickly spoke after seeing the two get off to an awkward start.
And without waiting for a reply, Xue Bai took Zhu Que's hand and ran off toward Yue Zifeng's peak. They had spent enough time wandering, and now the sun was starting to set, and they could always explore the mountain another day.
"Little Brother, if that's your Second Senior Sister, who is the head disciple?" Zhu Que asked as she let herself be pulled along by Xue Bai.
"The head disciple of our lineage is First Senior Sister. Her name is Jiang Xiaorou, and she is also Master's adoptive daughter." Xue Bai explained, giving Zhu Que a rough understanding of Jiang Xiaorou.
The two would meet eventually, so instead of giving Zhu Que an entire biography of Jiang Xiaorou, Xue Bai only gave her the basics, so when they did, the two would have things to talk about.
"Is this Senior Sister strong? She's ahead of both you and that perverted Senior Sister from earlier." Zhu Que asked innocently.
"Cough!" Xue Bai couldn't help but cough as he tried to mask his laughter, but thankfully he quickly regained his composure when he answered, "First Senior Sister is in the Dharma Idol realm, so yes, she is strong. Plus, she is only 22, so her cultivation speed is one of the fastest on the continent."
Of course, Wang Yu was much more talented and would most likely be in the Law Engraving or even Law manifestation realm at that age, but still, Jiang Xiaorou's cultivation speed was something to admire.
But Xue Bai wouldn't bring that up right now. He was praising his iceberg beauty Senior Sister, not the minor villain Wang Yu.
"Wow!" Zhu Que was instantly starstruck and took Jiang Xiaorou as her model.
After some more simple talk, Xue Bai eventually made it to Yue Zifeng's peak.
"Master, Sister Zhu needs an identification token." Xue Bai announced outside of Yue Zifeng's temple.
"Go to the Registration Hall. She can get one there. You have my token, so no one would dare to give you a hard time." Yue Zifeng's voice drifted out.
The Registration Hall was a building where new disciples could, as the name said, register for their new identities. Xue Bai, Ye Rou, and Xiao'er didn't need to go there since they were disciples of the Sect Leader, but Zhu Que had to.
She wasn't his disciple, but someone Xue Bai had recruited to join their sect. Hell, Yue Zifeng hadn't even tested her talent and only took Xue Bai's word for it.
And while this was a severe case of nepotism, who would dare say anything? It was Xue Bai, the greatest talent in the Southern Continent's history, doing the act on Yue Zifeng, the Sect Leader's orders. As long as someone didn't have a hole in their brain, Xue Bai would be able to complete his job smoothly.
Nodding at his Master's instructions, Xue Bai turned over to Zhu Que, "I guess we have to walk some more."
"It's fine. Taking in my new environment would be good. After all, I don't know anything about the sect yet." Zhu Que replied.
She was enjoying her time with Xue Bai, so spending a little more of their day together didn't bother her at all.
Motioning her to follow him, Xue Bai used Yue Zifeng's Teleportation Array and teleported to the Outer Sect, where the registration hall was.
It was built there for convenience since more than 90% of the people who join the Soaring Sword Sect start as Outer Disciples. After all, not everyone was like Xue Bai and Ye Rou and could immediately become a Core Disciple and join the Core Region.
Walking out of the Teleportation Array, Xue Bai and Zhu Que certainly attracted many eyes. After all, they were both extremely good-looking, but after they saw Xue Bai's Core Disciple uniform, they quickly shifted their visions away.
In the Soaring Sword Sect, Core, Inner, and Outer Disciples each had their own uniforms, with the Inner Disciples having a light blue robe with the sect's insignia, while Outer Disciples having a dark blue robe with the same insignia.
But Core Disciples had a matte black robe with golden lines throughout. (See Cover)
This way, no one would ever not recognize the wearer.
Of course, disciples could also not wear the robes of their sect since they had identification tokens with their identities engraved onto them. However, if someone did this, they would be taking away the main perk of wearing the uniform, the indirect threat.
The Soaring Sword Sect was known to be very protective of their disciples, so if one died, it would soon turn into a snowball effect of other disciples coming to avenge their deceased friend.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXue Bai, of course, knew this and purposely changed into the Core Disciples' robes before leaving home.
"Junior Brother, do you know where the Registration Hall is? I need to get an identity for my Junior Sister." Xue Bai asked one of the Outer Disciples guarding the teleportation array.
The Outer Disciple in question was slightly disgruntled after being called Junior Brother by such a childish voice. However, after he turned around and saw Xue Bai's robes, his anger went out of the window.
And after politely giving Xue Bai the directions, he went back to his post. As much as he wanted to be a guide to the two Core Disciples' beauties, his job was more important.
"Little Brother, when did I become your Junior Sister?" Zhu Que teased as they walked toward the Registration Hall.
She had been calling Xue Bai, little brother, ever since they met a few days ago. So his calling her Junior Sister was a big change in their dynamic.
"Simple ordering. You'll become Master's last disciple and, in turn, my Junior Sister," Xue Bai simply replied, ignoring her blatant attempt to get a reaction out of him, "Why do you not want to be my Junior Sister?"
Disappointed she couldn't further tease him, Zhu Que could only shake her head slightly in regret and continue to follow Xue Bai.
The process of getting Zhu Que an identification token didn't take very long, and after listing both her name and position of Core Disciple, the two returned to their peak.
On the way back to their peak, Zhu Que didn't talk much and seemingly stayed in her own world, lost in thought, but after they reached their courtyards, she left a message to Xue Bai before scurrying away like a kitten.
"Thank you, Little Brother. I don't know how you found me or why you were so good to me, but thank you. Your appearance in my life was perfectly timed."
And before Xue Bai could respond, she left, leaving him feeling guilty inside. However, he quickly shook that off.
'What I did was good for both of us. Now she can grow safely and 10x quicker than if she was still a rogue cultivator and in the Hundred Flowers Sect.' Xue Bai remembered.
This world wasn't a game but real life, and sticking to the 'plot' and feeling bad for interfering in it was something he needed to remember constantly.
Xue Bai would eventually return to his courtyard and close up for the day before going to sleep.
Since he had advanced to the Small Success stage, Xue Bai was sure that the dreams would come back, so instead of cultivating, he planned to sleep.
