Chapter 19: Moral Heavenly Lord! (1)
Tong Yao had no idea what Lu Wantong was thinking, but the burning gaze Lu Wantong gave her pleased her greatly.
“OK. Very energetic!”
She couldn’t help but tilt her head slightly, feeling satisfied with the result.
Through her tireless efforts, Tong Yao had succeeded in making most of the disciples of the Duxian Sect admire Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
But, that was still not enough.
“Those people’s knowledge is so superficial!”
As the “Minister of Internal Publicity,” Tong Yao had secretly conducted a survey on the theme of “Why Do You Love Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian?”
The results were… disappointing.
According to the statistics:
43.96% of people liked Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian because of her immense power.
22.00% liked her because she was simply great.
4.86% admired her physical attractiveness.
Only 11.45% considered her a life idol due to her Saintly deeds.
When Tong Yao saw the results, she slammed her hand on the table with frustration.
“How dare you!”
A cold shiver ran down her spine.
Could the world be any better?
Tong Yao desperately wanted to catch those people and loudly question them.
“Damn it! Shouldn’t we focus first on Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s noble, saintly qualities instead of anything else?”
Only after this could they appreciate the finer details—her feet, legs, neck, earlobes, and so on.
In short, Tong Yao was deeply displeased.
How could this group of perverts be more mature like her?
They focused on chests and butts all day long, lacking any true vision!
In her fury, she ripped up several R18 novels she had collected from the outside world.
She stared at one book’s title: “Bai Lian X An Lan?”
“Stop making noise. Is Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian the kind of person to be reduced to this?”
Tong Yao was furious.
You’re blaspheming Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s pure heart!
In Tong Yao’s eyes, no matter what she did, Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was always on a pedestal, far above the rest.
After reflecting on this, she decided to put a stop to the unhealthy atmosphere.
Now, Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s reputation had grown so much that she no longer needed to promote her. What was needed now was for her fans to understand her on a deeper level.
Tong Yao glanced at Lu Wantong.
This new Martial Sister looked honest enough, so she decided to use her as a test subject.
Tong Yao straightened her disheveled twin-tails and said calmly, “Let’s wait here for a while now.”
“Why?” Lu Wantong immediately asked.
Tong Yao, with a proud smile, responded, “Foolish one, of course we should wait until the Blessing of the Heavens is finished. Otherwise, we might accidentally disrupt the bestowment ceremony and be cursed by the heavens. Do you think you can withstand the thunder from heaven?”
Of course not.
Lu Wantong quickly shook her head.
She wasn’t in a hurry, so she decided to cooperate in hopes of getting closer to Tong Yao.
But Tong Yao had called her clumsy.
“Interesting! My silly sister…”
After everything was settled, Lu Wantong would realize who the real fool was.
The two of them stood still, quietly waiting for the mist on top of the mountain to clear.
They didn’t have to wait long.
In about a quarter of an hour, Bai Lian, who had been squatting at the window, carefully placed a boiling kettle on the ground.
“It’s time to show my true tea art!”
Bai Lian had taken a rare half-day off, so she decided to use the best tea leaves grown in the Spiritual Field.
She didn’t want to waste her +17 Tea Ceremony skill—it must come in handy when needed!
Before she could do anything else, she heard noises coming from the courtyard.
“Tong Yao?”
Finally, Bai Lian’s Divine Sense locked onto Lu Wantong.
She recognized her at a glance.
It wasn’t because she had any particular thoughts about Lu Wantong.
It was just that the task that appeared on that rainy day was so strange that Bai Lian had trouble forgetting it.
Bai Lian pushed open the door and walked out.
She greeted them first, then asked, “What does Martial Sister Tong Yao need from me?”
Tong Yao suddenly became humble and obedient.
She immediately clarified her purpose.
But, with a heavy sigh, she revealed the “request” from Master Qin.
“My master has asked me to learn more from Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.”
With a small smile, Tong Yao added, “Hehe, this is it!”
She tilted her head and looked at Bai Lian with an expectant gaze.
Bai Lian, along with Lu Wantong, assumed this was the truth.
“Oh, okay then…”
At that moment, a task option appeared before Bai Lian once again.
Agree to Tong Yao’s request (Reward: +2 Hard Skill).
Reject Tong Yao (Reward: +2 Hard Skill).
The two reward options were the same as before.
The difference now was that this task was triggered after seeing both Tong Yao and Lu Wantong together.
Bai Lian paused for a moment in deep thought.
Over the last few days, she had been busy earning skill points and had earned:
11 points for Hard Skill
7 points for Soft Skill
12 points for Light Skill
10 points for Focus
Her current skill scores were as follows:
Hard Skill: 631
Soft Skill: 629
Light Skill: 625
Focus: 656
As she ran around, her skills had improved, with the biggest progress in Music Theory, which had gone from 12 points to 15.
However, her Tea Ceremony skill was still unmatched.
It wasn’t easy to handle.
Bai Lian thought for a moment.
If she agreed directly, it might not be worth it.
Although it was the last day, there were still many others waiting for her to trigger their tasks.
Finding easy opportunities to earn skill points was getting harder.
If she missed this chance, who knew when it would come again.
It wouldn’t be good to simply drive Tong Yao away, especially since this was Master Qin’s request.
The Qiongming Peak shouldn’t fall into conflict with the other peaks.
“Well, let’s do it that way then.”
Bai Lian finally made up her mind.
She chose Task 1.
Under the Master’s guidance, the jade rabbit had been specially training the Second Martial Sister, the Third Martial Sister, and the Fifth Martial Sister.
“Can we add Tong Yao to this without any issues?”
Actually, Bai Lian wasn’t entirely sure, so she decided to consult the jade rabbit first.
Unlike her “Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian” persona in the game, she wasn’t someone who liked to force others.
If someone challenged her and insisted on their viewpoint, she wouldn’t try to change their mind—she’d simply solve the problem at its root:
By eliminating it entirely!
“Come with me,” Bai Lian said.
“Yes.”
Tong Yao and Lu Wantong followed her.
Overall, Bai Lian was pleased with her plan.
What was the biggest issue with Tong Yao?
It was her mindset.
The adoration she received from Master Qin and the disciples at Qingyu Peak had made her self-righteous from a young age.
Master Qin treated her like a daughter, and even when angry, his punishments were symbolic at best.
The immediate task at hand was to help Tong Yao become more “modest.”
Bai Lian quickly realized this.
“I see!”
Master Qin certainly understood the severity of the situation, just as Bai Lian had before.
“If this continues, Tong Yao will become useless!”
Thus, Master Qin had sent her here, hoping Bai Lian would give Tong Yao a good “scolding.”
