nChapter 8

nAs one of the top sects in the Dachu Dynasty, the Great Mystery Sect was as prosperous as a large city.

nOther than the standard Martial Arts Field, Scripture Pavilion, and Library Pavilion, there were also institutions such as the Law Enforcement Hall, Weapon Forging Hall, and Medicine Refinery Hall.

nDue to the large number of disciples, there was even a trading market within the Great Mystery Sect.

nBecause the sect was powerful and occupied a very large area, every outer sect disciple had their own thatched hut.

nSu Chen had just left the thatched cottage not long ago. Before he could take another few steps, he met many familiar fellow disciples.

n“Senior Brother Su!”

n“Senior Brother Su!”

nWhen the disciples saw Su Chen, they greeted him enthusiastically. Su Chen smiled and nodded in response.

nIn this area of the outer sect, many disciples had received Su Chen’s guidance and were very respectful to him.

n“Is that Senior Brother Su Chen? Sure enough, he’s handsome.”

n“Senior Brother Su Chen is so good-looking…”

n“Don’t you have questions about cultivation? Now that Senior Brother Su Chen is here, why aren’t you going to ask him for advice?”

n“Is it really possible?”

n“Definitely. Senior Brother Su Chen is a kind person. As long as you sincerely ask for advice, he will definitely give you some pointers.”

nWalking along the bluestone paved road, the figures of the outer sect disciples gradually increased.

nFrom time to time, Su Chen could hear some conversations.

n“Senior… Senior Brother Su!”

nAt this moment, a timid and ethereal voice rang out.

nSu Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

nHe knew that his chance had come!

nHowever, his expression remained calm.

nHe slowly stopped and turned around.

nHe saw a clean-looking, delicate girl walking towards him under the push of several female disciples.

n“Junior sister, what’s wrong?”

nSu Chen gave a breeze-like smile and asked in a gentle voice.

nUnlike the other senior brothers and sisters who were cold and had a faint sense of superiority, Su Chen’s smile eased the tension of this junior sister.

n“I… Senior Brother Su, I have a question about cultivation that I want to ask you.”

nThis junior sister was a little shy. She did not dare to look directly at Su Chen with her big, watery eyes.

n“What is it? I will definitely tell you all I know.”

nSu Chen gently nodded and looked at his junior sister with a smile.

nHe had never seen this girl before, so she must have just joined the Great Mystery Sect.

nSuch a junior sister was the easiest to deceive…

nOh, no.

nIt was the easiest to make her build up trust in him.

n“Really?”

nHer eyes lit up when she heard this and asked excitedly.

nShe thought she would be rejected again.

nBefore this, she had already been rejected by several senior brothers and sisters.

nSu Chen nodded with a faint smile. “Of course, it’s true.”

n“Senior Brother Su, I keep feeling that I can’t use my full strength when I perform the Great Mystery Sword Style… I asked the elders before, but I was unable to break through that barrier. Do you know why?”

nShe frowned slightly while talking, her face full of distress.

nThere were many outer sect disciples in the Great Mystery Sect, but none of them had a master. But the outer sect elders would impart their skills and teach Dao to them collectively.

nHowever, the outer sect elders were so busy that they had limited time for teaching, and they could not answer every disciple’s questions at all.

nThis little junior sister had been bothered with questions, but the fellow disciples she was familiar with were pretty much on the same level as her, so they could not give her any guidance.

nShe had been thoroughly disheartened after failing to consult three or four of her senior brothers and sisters.

nThis time, she plucked up the courage to ask Su Chen for advice after being egged on by a few fellow disciples she had a good relationship with.

n“When performing the Great Mystery Sword Style, you must control the speed of the circulation of your spiritual power. Your body must also maintain a high degree of physical coordination in order to unleash your full strength,” Su Chen said gently while looking at her.

nThe Great Mystery Sword Style was the unique basic sword move of the Great Mystery Sect, and it was also a compulsory martial technique for the entry of the Great Mystery Sect.

nOf course, Su Chen had learned it before, and his skills were perfect. Such a small question was quite easy for him.

n“How about this, you practice it for me on the spot,” Su Chen looked at his junior sister’s half-understanding expression and spoke again.

n“Okay!” she took a deep breath and replied in a clear voice.

nThen, she took a few steps back and pulled away from Su Chen. After that, she began to perform the Great Mystery Sword Style.

n“Clang!”

nThe longsword let out a series of humming sounds.

nThe little junior sister’s petite body began to dance. The spiritual power in her meridians circulated, stirring up the surrounding breeze.

nEven though she was only a Level Three Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, the sound of her sword tearing through the air was enough to make the hair of mortals stand on end.

nSoon, the little junior sister finished practicing the entire set of Great Mystery Sword Style.

nSu Chen looked at her and nodded.

nJust as he had guessed, with his current strength, it was not a problem for him to guide a Level Three junior sister.

nAfter that, he pointed out some of her cultivation problems and practiced the perfect Great Mystery Sword Style for her on the spot.

nWhen the practice was over, she suddenly revealed an expression of dawning comprehension.

nSome of the questions that were difficult to understand were suddenly cleared up.

n“I understand! Thank you, Senior Brother Su! Thank you so much!”

nShe bowed slightly to Su Chen with excitement.

nSeeing this, Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that this was a small matter.

nThen, he flicked his sleeves and walked forward.

nHe had an imposing manner as if he was going to leave nothing behind after everything was done.

nBefore he left, he saw the admiration in his little junior sister’s big, watery eyes. He knew that he had won another little fangirl.

nHe didn’t lose anything in this process. Instead, he gained the favor of his junior sister and her friends.

n“Ah Jing, am I right? Not only is Senior Brother Su Chen handsome, but he is also very approachable. He never hides his insights on cultivation.”

n“I’m already in love now. Senior Brother Su Chen is simply too charming.”

n“Ahhh, who can refuse a handsome and charming senior brother?”

n“That’s true. No one in the entire outer sect is more charming than Senior Brother Su Chen!”

nSu Chen had just walked away when he heard the discussion of his junior sister’s friends behind him.

n“Yes! Senior Brother Su Chen is the most charming!”

nHe Jing looked at Su Chen’s disappearing figure, and her beautiful eyes gleamed with luster.

nShe had just joined the Great Mystery Sect and was only a Level Three Qi Gathering Realm cultivator. The problem of the Great Mystery Sword Style had troubled her for a long time.

nShe had consulted three or four senior brothers and sisters, but without exception, they all ignored her.

nShe didn’t know how long it would take to understand the question just by her own exploration.

nNow, Su Chen’s explanation and demonstration made her instantly enlightened.

nHandsome, talented, approachable…

nThese were the labels that others gave Su Chen.

nIf only the first glance could last forever. He Jing’s favorable impression of Su Chen had reached its peak the first time they met!
