🕑 Added 2024-11-14 14:18:26 +0000 UTCIn the Great Hall, Cang Yue served tea to Yun Wuji and the Chu sisters, moving gracefully around the table. Afterward, she stood behind Yun Wuji, looking like a diligent maid.
Yun Wuji sipped his tea and looked at his three disciples, who were standing and waiting for him to speak. "Alright, we've skipped our weekly tests for two months. Today's subject is 'The Most Stylish Way to Turn Down a Challenge from a Genius of a Rival Sect.'"
"???" It was the first time Chu Yuechan had seen this, and she was very confused, question marks appeared above her head. She looked at her sister for clarification.
Chu Yueli resisted the urge to laugh and told her sister to wait and see.
Xia Qingyue clenched her fists. She had prepared for this day for two months, and the moment Yun Wuji announced the topic, she raised her hand immediately.
Yun Wuji reclined comfortably in his seat and drank his tea. "Go ahead, Qingyue."
Xia Qingyue took a deep breath to calm herself, then proudly raised her head and said, "Daga kotowaru! (I refuse!)"
I don't know if it means 'But I refuse' or simply 'I refuse'. Correct me if I am mistaken.
"Nani?! (What?)" Yun Wuji, who had just drunk his tea, suddenly spit it out and looked at Xia Qingyue in disbelief!
Xia Qingyue thought that Yun Wuji was playing along with her, so felt confident and continued, she said with an arrogant look on her face, "One of my favorite things to do is to tell those who think they are hot shit, 'No!'"
After losing last time, she learned from Xiao Lingxi and spent most of her free time researching in the library.
'It's too late; this world is already deeply contaminated...' Yun Wuji covered his face with his palm.
"Master, did I do well?" Xia Qingyue looked at Yun Wuji with an eager expression, as if saying, 'Praise me!'
"Hmm, you did great this time," Yun Wuji couldn't find it in himself to dampen her excitement and nodded with a forced smile.
"Master, it's my turn!" Xiao Lingxi raised her hand.
"Yeah, sure, go ahead, Lingxi," Yun Wuji waved his hand casually, still thinking about the impact of weeb culture contaminating this world. 'I hope there won't be any weirdos parading outside in the future.'
Imagining strange old men wearing magical girl clothes or old women wearing bikini armor walking proudly on the streets, he felt a chill run down his spine.
"NPC 1, you, a mediocre person, actually dare to challenge me, a genius who has never been seen before and will never be seen again? Where did you get the courage? How dare you be so ignorant?" Xiao Lingxi put her hands on her waist and said in a domineering tone, her face full of disdain and contempt.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Chu Yuechan, who was drinking tea, choked upon hearing this and looked at Lingxi in disbelief!
"Puchi! Hahaha!" Chu Yueli couldn't hold it anymore and laughed loudly. She tried her best to control her laughter, but after seeing her sister, she couldn't hold it any longer.
"Sorry, but this is too much! Hahaha! I can't! I can't! This is too much! Hahaha!" She held her stomach and rolled on the sofa, tears in her eyes.
"Master… is it bad?" Xiao Lingxi's face turned red as she lowered her head and asked in a quiet voice.
"No, no, your performance this time was good as always. Yuechan was shocked because she was impressed, and Yueli was laughing at her," Yun Wuji quickly comforted her. He couldn't risk his disciples feeling embarrassed about the weekly tests; this was the only fun part of teaching them. If they became embarrassed, it would spoil his fun in the future.
He made up his mind, that in the future, he would make sure there was no one else present during the weekly tests, only himself and his disciples.
"Little Che, your turn," Yun Wuji quickly called out to Xiao Che to divert their attention.
Xiao Che hesitated for a moment before speaking, "My master is Yun Wuji."
He spent most of his time trying to 'train' his fiancée, Situ Xuan and didn't have time to prepare.
"Sigh, Xiao Che, you can't use the same answer twice," Yun Wuji shook his head in disappointment. "Besides, even if this were a real scenario, you can't say that to someone who is at the same rank as you."
"Why?" Xiao Che became depressed when he saw his master's disappointed look, but he still asked.
"No disciple of mine is allowed to lose against their peers. You have no right to lose to someone of the same rank," Yun Wuji said in a serious tone. As someone who could crush opponents more than two great realms above him, it would be shameful if one of his disciples were to lose to someone of the same cultivation realm.
"Yes! I will keep this in mind, master!" the three disciples responded loudly.
"Alright, Xia Qingyue and Xiao Lingxi, you both did a great job; you passed," Yun Wuji said to the two girls. He then looked at Xiao Che and added, "Little Che, you failed. As per the rules, you need to kill three beasts."
"Yes, master," Xiao Che said. He knew this would happen, so he didn't feel too much dejection.
"Try to finish your task today. Tomorrow, I will take you all somewhere," Yun Wuji said, nodding his head.
"Where are we going?" Xia Qingyue asked.
"I will take you to Heavenly Sword Villa to see the tra… cough! I mean, geniuses of this empire," Yun Wuji said. He wanted to say "trash," but stopped himself since both Chu sisters were present.
There are disciples from the Frozen Cloud participating in the tournament, so calling the participants trash would be the same as insulting them directly. Additionally, since the Chu sisters had also participated in the tournament as 'geniuses,' calling the participants trash would essentially be the same as calling the Chu sisters trash as well.
'I guess no one can be perfect,' Chu Yuechan glanced at him before shaking her head helplessly. He was good at everything; the only downside was that he sometimes switched to 'narcissist' mode.
"Can I go as well?" Cang Yue asked. Although she was Yun Wuji's maid in name, she was also part of the imperial family, and she wasn't sure if she was allowed to accompany them.
"Of course you will, why are you asking such a silly question?" Yun Wuji replied, looking at her as if puzzled by the question. He shook his head and told her, "Go prepare yourself too."
"Hmm!" Cang Yue resisted the urge to jump at him and shower him with kisses. Instead, she nodded happily and ran to her room.
"I'll take sister to look around the palace," Chu Yueli said and took her older sister with her to familiarise herself with the place.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Yun Wuji offered.
"No, I alone am enough," Chu Yueli waved her hand without turning around, and the two left.
"Strange... she's probably scheming something," Yun Wuji shook his head as he looked at her retreating back.
Xia Qingyue also left to inform her father that she would be away for a while.
"Little Che, I'm going to see Father. Do you want to come along?" Xiao Lingxi asked Xiao Che.
"...you go first. I still need to finish my task," Xiao Che hesitated at first, then shook his head.
"Alright, I'll tell Father then, you can take your time," Xiao Lingxi said, not insisting further, and left as well.
Everyone had left, leaving only Yun Wuji and Xiao Che in the Great Hall. Xiao Che hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Master, I want to ask you something!"
"What is it?"
"Master, how can I become popular with women like you?" Xiao Che asked Yun Wuji.
"I'm your master, Xiao Che, and you should be asking about cultivation, not relationships. Do I look like a relationship coach to you?" Yun Wuji shook his head at his oldest disciple. "Never mind, I'll help you out this time. Becoming popular with women is hard. You need to be humorous, but not overly so, as that can make you seem unreliable. Be masculine, but not excessively so, or you'll come off as old-fashioned macho. Be sensitive, but not too much, or you risk being seen as gay and ending up in the friend zone..."
"WTF?! That's too hard!" Xiao Che felt his head starting to hurt the more Yun Wuji talked. The road for him to become smooth Che is still very long and daunting.
"Yep, it's like alchemy; you need to find the correct balance," Yun Wuji nodded.
"Is there another way?"
"Yeah, if you're handsome, even if you're a serial killer, you'll still get plenty of love confessions," Yun Wuji said.
"That's easy! Look, I'm not handsome?" Xiao Che's mood lifted when he heard that.
"Although you're not as handsome and charismatic as me, you are indeed handsome," Yun Wuji said, nodding. He didn't forget to praise himself.
"Yes, master is the prince charming of all women," Xiao Che added, seizing the opportunity to flatter his master.
"You are good, flattery can take you everywhere," Yun Wuji chuckled and patted his disciple's head. "But remember, everything I said is based on strength. Even if you look as good as me, without strength, you'll get no bitches. You've already experienced this."
"Understood, master!"
"Hmm, if you understand, then stop wasting your time and focus more on your cultivation. Otherwise, Qingyue and Lingxi will soon leave you in the dust!"
