Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The sky gradually darkened. The burning clouds in the sky reflected the busy day of people.

Lin Shiqing looked disappointedly at the long flight of stairs that seemed to have no end. When she looked up and saw a man who was about the same size as Lin Bei, her gloomy mood was lifted again.

So Second Brother didn’t forget our agreement. Look, he’s here!

When the person gradually walked closer, Lin Shiqing realized that it was not Lin Bei.

“Eh? Did Second Brother make friends?”

When she could see the person’s face clearly, Lin shiqing felt that her feelings had been deceived.

Scumbag! They were all scumbags!

We agreed to go to the technique hall together, but I’ve been waiting for you here for a long time, and you didn’t come!

Where was the promised integrity?

“Are you still sleeping, Lin Bei? My heavens!” Lin Shiqing seemed to have finally reacted, and she couldn’t help but scream.

When the people around heard Lin Shiqing’s voice, they couldn’t help but look over.

Their face was full of question marks.

“What’s happening?”

“Did this servant get some serious illness?”

“Her face is slightly red. Something strange must have happened. Otherwise, would an ordinary person shout loudly in a crowd? Would you?”

“I won’t.”

“Don’t look at me. I don’t know how to either!”

“What’s with your faces? Hey! Can’t you all be normal?”

When Lin Shiqing heard the discussion at the side, she looked over with a smile.

When these people saw Lin Shiqing’s stiff face, they were shocked.

“Well, can you not scare people for no reason?!” The crowd was shocked by Lin Shiqing’s turn and frowned.

It was as if Lin Shiqing had discovered a new continent. She ran down the mountain in a frenzy. Her speed made the outer sect disciples blush with shame.

…

At the same time, in the pavilion…

Lin Bei was in a daze. He could feel the jade token on his body vibrating.

“F*ck! Who was it? So annoying! Can’t you let me sleep?”

Lin Bei reached for the jade token on his waist. The vibrating jade token made him feel a little irritated.

He placed it in front of him and looked at it. It was news from the sect. He then tapped on the jade token and looked at the message that appeared.

[ Notice regarding the sect’s annual competition! ]

[ All Blue Cloud Sect disciples: ]

[ Hello! ]

[ Starting next month, the Blue Cloud Sect will hold the selection of outer, inner, and core disciples. ]

[ First of all, the outer disciple competition will be held in a month’s time. It will be divided into two stages. ]

[ First stage: Basic spiritual power test. Second stage: Reaction ability test. ]

[ You’ll get 100 points each for a total of 200 points. When you get more than 160 points, you’ll be able to enter the third stage. ]

[ The third stage is a combat ability Test. The top 100 in combat strength will be able to enter the inner sanctum. ]

[ Next is the inner sect grand competition. The top ten of the competition will be able to become core disciples. ]

[ Last is the core disciple competition. (This is confidential.) ]

[ The following are the details of the competition. ]

[ Please confirm and sign. ]

Lin Bei was speechless. Why did it feel like he was signing a contract? It felt weird.

However, Lin Bei quickly signed his name on it. As the name was entered…

[ Announcement confirmation complete! ]

[ Congratulations, you have successfully entered! ]

After reading everything, Lin Bei suddenly had a bad feeling.

“What the f*ck? The benefits of inner sect disciples were so much better than outer sect disciples.”

One person’s income was actually equivalent to the benefits of more than ten outer disciples. It was no wonder that these people were working hard to cultivate. It was for a better future.

Just like his predecessor, he did not want to rely on the help of his family. He wanted to fight for his own success.

Dreams were full, but reality was cruel. Wasn’t this a complete destruction that had yet to be realized?

To become an inner disciple or a core disciple… The benefits were better, and the treatment was better.

However, he became busier. Sometimes, there would even be some missions outside, but looking at it this way, it was meaningless.

Lin Bei closed the jade token. He kept thinking about what he had forgotten to do.

“I don’t want to. I’ll just sleep! As long as I become stronger, I’ll be able to throw two punches if I can’t make up my mind!”

Lin Bei had just hung the jade token back on his waist when he found it vibrating again.

“What is it this time?”

He opened it.

[ Lin Shiqing: Second Brother, where are you? We agreed to go to the technique hall together, so I’ve been waiting from the afternoon until now, but I haven’t seen you. Speaking of which, I didn’t see you in the forest earlier. May I ask where I should go to find you? ]

Lin Bei suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about Lin Shiqing!

Lin Bei swallowed, his throat still burning. The alcohol content of this wine wasn’t low! He slept for the entire afternoon, and now, the sky is already dark.

Lin Bei turned to look at the crane, which was lying on the table. One of its wings was drooping on the ground, and the other wing was on the stone table. The crane’s head was tilted on the table. It looked like a drunk man as its mouth opened and closed, mumbling.

“Wine!”

“Wine! I can still drink! Hurry up and fill it up!”

“Don’t think that I’m not good at drinking!”

“Oh! I’m telling you …”

Lin Be looked at the familiar immortal who was talking drunkenly, then smiled.Perhaps the world was not that bad.

He took the jade token and used it.

[ Lin Bei: Lin Shiqing, when you come over, bring more water and some things to sober up. It would be best if you could bring some food as well. There’s a crane here. ]

…

When Lin Shiqing received the message, she was a little confused. “Bring water and things to sober up?”

If he was drunk, It was understandable. It was also understandable to bring along food. The only thing she could not understand was the crane.

“Could it be that he was drinking with the red-crowned crane? How’s this possible?”

Lin Shiqing was about to go crazy. However, her strong heart allowed her to recover quickly.

[ Lin Bei: The address is xxxxxxxxx Pavilion! ]

Lin Shiqing looked at the message in her hand with uncertainty.

The pavilion was located on the cliff, halfway up the mountain. It was set as a forbidden area of the Blue Cloud Sect, and no one is allowed to get close. However, there was usually no one guarding it.After all, there weren’t any rare treasures or secret arts in there.

There was only a single pavilion. One side of the pavilion was a cliff, while the other side was a rock wall.

There was only one path up the mountain. It was said to be the residence of the immortal crane, the companion of the sect leader when he was young.

The red-crowned crane liked the quietness and did not like to be disturbed. Therefore, no one had ever been there, and most of them were just rumors!

Lin Shiqing was once again certain that this place was the legendary forbidden area. Realizing this, her face turned pale.
