Mission: Seduce the Master!

"Xie Qing, now we will go inside, and you need to go to the registration desk. There, you need to say that you are applying for the test for the inner court, and then provide the token, with which they will create the necessary resume," said Lian Xin and added with a smile: "Of course, you can be sure that you will pass the exam.

It\'s not difficult, you just need to show the skills of an inner court disciple level and prove it in battle. Compared to the exam for the main court disciple, this is nothing."

"Well, you\'re right..." said Xie Qing, and then he smiled, feeling countless gazes on him: "It seems that not everyone here is happy about my presence. Most likely, they think that I came to have fun."

"Just a bunch of idiots. Don\'t think about them, Xie Qing, they\'re just fools," Lian Xin replied with a smirk.

The disciples who looked at Xie Qing with hostility looked at Lian Xin, losing their speech. They thought:

"You are an elder of the sect. Do you need to insult ordinary disciples like that?" They felt bitter.

Rumors about Elder Lian\'s love have been popular since the first day of Xie Qing\'s entry into the sect, so no one was surprised by Lian Xin\'s behavior.

Many of them secretly envied Xie Qing. To possess the love of an elder was the same as getting a ticket to a happy life. Many disciples tried to build relationships with elders, but it failed. They felt bitter!

"Oh, heavens, do I deserve such punishment? My karma is cleaner than a baby\'s butt!"

"I envy him so much... I want a girlfriend too!"

"I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him.

I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him. I don\'t envy him.

I don\'t envy him."

Xie Qing was silent. This time there were many gazes on him, and for some reason, he felt a bad premonition. Sometimes his luck failed him in the most awkward moments.

And now, it was his turn. Under Lian Xin\'s encouraging smile, he approached the registration desk, where he was greeted by an elder who was watching this scene with a smile.

"Hello. Are you here to register for the inner disciple exam?" said the woman elder standing behind the desk. Seeing that Xie Qing nodded, she pushed two sheets of paper on the table, took one for herself, and gave the other to Xie Qing.

"What\'s this?" he was puzzled and looked at Lian Xin, who also didn\'t understand the purpose of this paper.

But the elder quickly explained. Xie Qing lost his speech.

"No, I just need your autograph. If you don\'t mind, of course," the elder said with a smirk.

"Um... I don\'t know why you need it, but okay," Xie Qing replied submissively and wrote his name, and then at the elder\'s request, he wrote her name and drew a heart above it: "Here..."

"Ehehe... thank you very much."

The elder gently smiled and sent an air kiss to Xie Qing, ignoring Lian Xin\'s angry gaze. She asked for his disciple token and reviewed the information, then wrote it in the form.

"Everything is ready. I have registered you; the exam is in an hour. Please, don\'t be late," she said, and then handed him the ticket, warning: "Don\'t lose the ticket, or there will be problems. And also, thank you for the autograph."

"Yes... thank you too."

Xie Qing nodded and returned to Lian Xin, who was looking at the elder at the registration desk for a long time and then turned her gaze, looking at Xie Qing with a smile.

"???"

Xie Qing also smiled back, but he couldn\'t understand why he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

***

To pass the time until the exam starts, Lian Xin and Xie Qing went to a restaurant where they ordered a separate room.

"You will have only tea? Are you sure?" Lian Xin asked in surprise.

"Yes, lately I haven\'t felt hungry," said Xie Qing, and then added: "Besides... I\'m very picky about food."

"You wanted to say, spoiled?" Elder Lian added with a smirk and then giggled: "Well, okay, I can understand your logic. I don\'t like to eat, as Qi is enough for me, but sometimes it\'s nice to chew something."

Xie Qing nodded, but his mind was occupied with other thoughts.

"Away with dirty thoughts. I am pure and innocent, like yellow snow... no, I mean, like spring water."

One way or another, Lian Xin could not understand his thoughts and decided to just talk on various topics. It was evident that she was trying her best to cheer him up and chat with him on various subjects.

"Elder Lian, how are you?" Xie Qing asked with a smile, sipping his tea. He added: "I am a little interested in your personality. I think we don\'t know much about each other."

"Eh?"

Lian Xin gave a surprised exclamation. Apparently, she did not expect him to ask such a question, but then she regained her composure and smiled brightly.

"Of course!"

Xie Qing didn\'t even need to encourage her, as Lian Xin very selflessly told him about her past.

If briefly, she was a descendant of the Lian family, who were influential in the capital of the Huanglun Dynasty. This Xie Qing knew.

But Lian Xin did not limit herself to this and even told him about her childhood. Listening to her cheerful stories, Xie Qing also immersed himself in them.

When it was his turn, he hesitated a little about whether to tell more about himself but still decided to open up a little. Upon hearing about how his brothers treated him, Lian Xin sighed heavily.

"Indeed, the fate of the offspring of rich and influential families is never easy. Even your relatives can become your enemy or a stepping stone," she said with a sigh but then added with a smile: "But with your current skills and how quickly you have raised your level, you can be called a genius. The last time the Qi Condensation stage was achieved at 18 years old was only by Elder Xu Mei."

"Hm?"

When the conversation turned to Xu Mei\'s past, Xie Qing showed great interest. He didn\'t know much about his master\'s past; she was not talkative, and she did not want to raise this topic, so Xie Qing did not insist.

"Can you tell me more?" Xie Qing asked, but in response, he received only a bitter smile from Lian Xin and her refusal.

"I\'m sorry, but I can\'t. She forbids any mention of her past, so you can ask her personally," Lian Xin said and added: "I\'m really sorry. I\'m not trying to hide anything from you, but..."

"No, it\'s okay," Xie Qing interrupted her and added with a comforting smile: "I know my Master\'s character. She definitely would not have left you unscathed if she found out that you were digging into her past."

"Thank you..."

Lian Xin sighed in relief. She was afraid of disappointing Xie Qing, but she could not tell him about Xu Mei\'s past, as it was quite possible that the next day she would come knocking on her door.

After that, the conversation flowed much better. Their relationship became much closer.

***

The inner disciple exam began. The entrance to the closed testing room was strictly distributed, and no ticket, no entry.

Xie Qing, like the others, was calmly waiting for his turn. The other disciples were either cultivating or gathering in groups, and he...

"Disciple White, why don\'t we celebrate after this exam? I will pay all the expenses!"

"D-Disciple White, don\'t listen to them... I would like to discuss dao with you after the exam..."

"Discuss dao? Sister, can\'t you just call it by the human word: \'sex\', huh?"

"What shamelessness... I also want to."

Xie Qing watched with a bitter smile as he was surrounded by ten girls. He couldn\'t drive them away because he didn\'t want to seem rude... and besides, he liked the attention.

The lone disciples with gaping mouths watched this scene, and their faces looked as if they had swallowed a fat fly.

Each of them thought:

"Brother, can\'t you go just one day without showing off your skills? We\'ve already acknowledged your status as a gigolo!"

But some of them admired him.

"No wonder he\'s called the sect\'s main playboy! Brother Xie Qing, I will name my son after you!"
