Chapter 1306 Genius and Double System 7
"Junior Sister Lin, please wait in the Leisure Lotus Hall first." Tingxuan walked to Lin Ya's side, who looked sullen, with a polite smile on his face. "I suppose the Peak Master has something important to tell you."
Lin Ya was not very happy, and even felt a little wronged, but no matter how unhappy she was, she couldn't possibly lash out here and say bad things about Ji Wujiu.
She hadn't suffered such injustice in a long time since her talent was revealed.
Moreover, she has always been kind and friendly, and enjoys making friends. No matter which peak she visits, everyone treats her with courtesy, even the powerful peak masters and elders. Furthermore, as the sect leader's personal disciple, these peak masters should naturally give her some respect.
After all, she hadn't offended anyone and was kind and friendly to everyone.
Unfortunately, within the Heavenly Extreme Sect, there were indeed people who didn't give her a warm welcome. One of them was Ji Wujiu, the peak master of Sword Peak. He always had a cold face. Even when she greeted him with a smile in the past, he would only nod indifferently, sparing with words, and appearing as if he wanted to keep strangers away.
"Then I'll have to trouble Senior Brother Tingxuan." Seeing the smile on Tingxuan's face, Lin Ya finally felt a little better.
Perhaps it's because proud and powerful individuals like Ji Wujiu have some eccentricities.
However, Lin Ya didn't understand why Ji Wujiu, a powerful figure, would remain so indifferent when he tried to speak to her. Frankly, it meant she wasn't strong enough, and she suspected he harbored some dissatisfaction towards her.
As for the reason, what else could it be but Yunzhen?
Yun Zhen was one of Ji Wujiu's most prized disciples. She was exceptionally talented when she entered the sect. The sect's peak masters and elders were very envious that Ji Wujiu could accept such a disciple.
However, Ji Wujiu's proud youngest disciple had actually been defeated by her three times. It was impossible for her not to have some grudges. If she weren't the sect leader's disciple and valued by the sect, and instead just an outsider cultivator, Ji Wujiu might have found an opportunity to teach her a lesson to avenge his disciple.
"Junior Sister Lin, please have a seat here." Tingxuan served tea and refreshments, showing no neglect towards Lin Ya, and naturally had no idea that Lin Ya had been thinking so much in such a short time.
If he knew, he would probably be speechless.
The peak master dismissed the person simply because he genuinely wanted to speak with his disciple alone; it wasn't appropriate for outsiders to be present. There was no other reason. His peak master was a very direct and straightforward person, powerful enough not to think about such convoluted matters.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Tingxuan." Lin Ya pursed her lips slightly. "Senior Brother Tingxuan, is Peak Master Ji angry?"
“The peak master shouldn’t be angry. Why would he be angry?” Xuan said.
Lin Ya said, "It's all because of what happened a few days ago, when Senior Sister Yun and Senior Brother Wen had a fight. Senior Sister Yun was even injured because of it. I'm afraid the Peak Master will blame Senior Brother Wen for this."
“Junior Sister Lin, don’t worry. The Peak Master isn’t incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. If he were to blame Senior Brother Wen, he wouldn’t have waited until today. There’s always a risk of injury when cultivators fight. It’s normal for fellow disciples to get injured in sparring. As long as it’s not a deadly fight, it’s allowed in the sect. The Peak Master won’t say anything about injuries sustained in a fight. Junior Sister Lin, there’s no need to worry.” Ting Xuan patiently explained, “The Peak Master probably has other important matters to discuss.”
Despite the various speculations, Tingxuan knew it wasn't appropriate to discuss these things with Lin Ya.
The peak master wouldn't interfere with normal sparring, but some of Senior Brother Wen's actions must have displeased him.
"Why does it feel like Peak Master Ji doesn't really like me?" Lin Ya said, somewhat disappointed.
Ting Xuan paused for a moment, then quickly explained, "Junior Sister Lin must have misunderstood. No matter who it is today, the Peak Master will always ask them to leave; that's just his nature." Of course, what he didn't mention was that the method of asking them to leave might be slightly different. There's a way to ask someone to leave when they're of equal standing, and a way to ask someone to leave when they're younger. Don't forget, this is the cultivation world, where the strong prey on the weak, and the strong have more freedom to do as they please. The strong often don't have the patience to explain things to the weak.
Lin Ya knew she wouldn't get anything out of Ting Xuan, so she stopped asking.
To put it bluntly, it's because she's not strong enough right now. Once she's strong enough to be on par with Ji Wujiu, or even surpass him, he wouldn't dare treat her like this today.
Lin Ya took a deep breath, determined to see how those who looked down on her would react when she stood on high.
[Is there any way to increase my cultivation level even faster?] Lin Ya asked in her heart.
Her question had barely left her lips when another emotionless voice echoed in her mind: "Yes, but it's difficult for you right now. You need to max out your experience points first, then level up, and then select more targets to bind to, which will multiply your cultivation level. The higher your level, the more targets you can bind to, and the more permissions you'll have."
"So, there really isn't a way to increase my cultivation level faster now?" Lin Ya was somewhat disappointed.
[Yes, host. 】
"How long will that take?" Lin Ya couldn't help but complain inwardly. "I wish I could surpass Ji Wujiu quickly."
[Host's cultivation is already growing fast enough, still within the acceptable range for most people in the cultivation world. Any faster and trouble will ensue. Countless eyes will be on you. Even if the people of our sect don't do anything, outsiders will definitely have other ideas. It will be full of dangers, which is not a good thing for you.]
Hearing this, Lin Ya's anxious heart finally calmed down a bit.
That's true; she still believed in this so-called system.
She was originally a lowly palace maid serving Yunzhen. Through her own abilities, she finally impressed Yunzhen with her hard work and sincerity. She even discovered that she possessed mixed spiritual roots, which allowed her to come to the Heavenly Extreme Sect. At the time, she didn't think too much about it; she simply felt that following a master with outstanding talent was much better than staying in the Great Xia Kingdom.
Even if one cannot achieve immortality or become a celestial being, Yun Zhen treats people quite well, and those around her will certainly live a glamorous life, with no one daring to offend them.
Little did she know that she had another stroke of luck. A few days after Yun Zhen agreed to bring her to the Tianji Sect, a voice suddenly rang in her mind, chattering away. At first, she thought she had encountered some kind of demon or monster and didn't quite believe what the voice said.
The benefits the other party mentioned were incredibly tempting. Even if her talent was extremely poor and she had no chance of achieving immortality, things would be different once she was bound to him. Not only could she achieve immortality, but she could even surpass Yun Zhen's talent.
How could this not tempt her?
After much deliberation, she decided to give it a try.
She was never content to be a servant. She tried so hard to get Yunzhen's attention, just so she could have a better life. Being an ordinary palace maid was different from being a princess's personal maid; the latter were held in higher esteem in the palace.
Having learned about the world of cultivation, her greatest anticipation naturally turned to the possibility of flying and escaping the earth. She knew, as a palace maid, that immortals existed in this world. However, the past was too distant for her to dwell on, and she had no idea what the world of immortals was truly like.
