Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 34: 034 - Wrinkled White Silk Stockings

Ten years is fifty thousand, one hundred years is five hundred thousand.

Hmm, the accounts shouldn't be calculated like this, but after three to five hundred years, Azure Cloud Sect should become the number one sect in Da Zhou.

"Wonderful." Elder Zhao exclaimed.

But Nangong Li asked, "What are you thinking about? How many female disciples are there in the outer sect?"

Oh, right, there are far fewer female disciples than male disciples.

Wait a moment!

Elder Zhao has lived for nearly a thousand years and has studied the actions of Elder Nangong for a long time. It's not entirely due to his self-proclaimed dull aptitude.

"The entry-level techniques of Azure Cloud Sect can be passed down to disciples and descendants. If we hold a large-scale entry ceremony this year, the number of female disciples who come rushing to participate will be many times more than before!"

Nangong Li asked, "Is there more?"

"The impact of your actions goes beyond the twenty thousand miscellaneous disciples of Xiaoqing Peak," Elder Zhao replied.

That's right, according to the news that came out on the 17th, they exchange techniques and rewards based on the amount of Spirit Vein ore they dig out. The next batch of disciples who receive the techniques will naturally have to line up according to the contributions they have made to the sect.

Miscellaneous disciples are not qualified to take on sect missions; all they can do is work.

So they should work more.

Nowadays, there are new regulations regarding disciples and descendants. Even if tens of thousands of male disciples don't care about their own future, they will work hard to marry a wife as soon as possible.

This is the reason why Azure Cloud Sect's "income" has been continuously soaring recently. The influence of individual miscellaneous disciples on the sect is minimal, but there are just too many of them.

"Is there more?"

Elder Zhao asked, "Is there more?"

Nangong Li asked, "How is the completion rate of sect missions recently?"

Elder Zhao was a little confused by the question, but then his eyes lit up, "Right, there are rumors that since the sect has improved the treatment of miscellaneous disciples, the same will apply to outer sect disciples."

Nangong Li asked, "Why are those despicable people so fixated on you?"

With a crack, a lightning bolt flashed through Zhao Wei's mind.

With a hundred thousand miscellaneous disciples and twenty thousand outer sect disciples, the move of the elders and grand elders of the outer sect was indeed powerful. Just by moving their fingers, they wiped out the entire outer sect.

What authority do the elders have to speak? Everyone is at the peak of the Gold Core stage, and their strengths are similar. Until they fight to the death, no one knows what their ranking will be.

So the authority of the elders still depends on the disciples under their sect.

Take Hua Mantian, for example. His arrogance is not only because Hundred Flowers Peak is a gathering place for female disciples, but also because two years ago, Hundred Flowers Peak cultivated a Gold Core seed, Xiao Qingrou. It is not impossible for her to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in the future. This is a real achievement.

Why did the old elders join forces to target Zhao Wei?

The rise of Xiaoqing Peak is visible to the naked eye, one step ahead of the other peaks.

If the other elders ignore it, ten or twenty years later, Zhao Wei will be the second elder of the outer sect of Azure Cloud Sect!

Influencing all the miscellaneous disciples through a hundred disciples, then the outer sect disciples, and then the elders of the various peaks... For a while, Elder Zhao looked at Elder Nangong with infinite admiration and awe in his eyes.

Nangong Li sighed slightly and said, "If I had done this, they wouldn't dare to oppose me, and the plan couldn't be implemented. So, Wei Yi, you are now the sun of my Qingyun outer sect. If you can get through this, you will indeed be the second elder of the outer sect."

Wei Yi said, "Ah?..."

His mind was a mess, blank.

The so-called second elder, when the grand elder is absent, the second elder is the highest authority. Those old guys have to listen to Elder Zhao!

After being stunned for a while, he finally remembered, "Thank you, Grand Elder, for your kindness. Zhao Wei will do his best!"

Elder Zhao was tormented by Hua Mantian and the other elders, partly because those old guys were shameless, but also because he had no confidence in his heart.

He was afraid that if this lady had disliked him from the beginning and wanted to send him to meet his parents and grandparents, no matter what he did, he would end up dead.

"You are the sun of my Azure Cloud Sect!"

For some reason, today is clearly overcast, but Zhao Wei Yi's body feels warm.

Indeed, Zhao Wei Yi is not alone. He has the support of the elder of the outer sect. Everything he is doing now is not for his own selfish desires, but for the rise of the outer sect!

Yes, if the outer sect can restore its former glory from ten thousand years ago, what does it matter if he endures humiliation and carries burdens?

Thinking of this, Old Zhao bows again, tears welling up in his eyes: "Grand Elder, please give your orders. As long as I can help you, Zhao Wei Yi will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"

On the other side,

Seeing this child being moved to tears, Nangong Li's gaze becomes somewhat complicated.

Nangong Li pats Little Zhao's shoulder and says in a gentle voice, "Who said anything about you dying? I never said that."

With that, Nangong Li takes out a small red sword from her sleeve. "The outer sect can compete, and the outer sect welcomes competition. But what I want to see is results, achieved through legitimate means. Anyone who dares to play tricks can be dealt with using this sword."

Zhao Wei Yi takes the small sword, feeling even more touched.

Because this is a Nascent Soul Law Treasure, capable of sweeping away all Gold Core cultivators.

"Hua Mantian, Iron Rulai! Shameless ones, if you dare to provoke me again, I'll cut you to death!"

Fifteen minutes later,

Nangong Li, the elder of the outer sect, watches as Zhao Wei Yi leaves.

Nangong Li has witnessed Little Zhao's experiences these past few days, so it is understandable that Elder Zhao returns to the Little Qing Peak with a reluctant gait.

However, in her impression, the elders of the outer sect didn't have so many ulterior motives. Once the rumors of "female disciples" spread, why did they all become shameless one by one?

"Aunt, do you know what this is called? It's called a stereotype. The elders naturally have to be as obedient as me in front of you, but in reality, who among their subordinates doesn't have thousands or tens of thousands of disciples? If we can achieve equal treatment for everyone, they naturally won't have any other thoughts. But equal treatment is not our goal. We need to mobilize the entire outer sect's morale, so we need to establish a living target."

"Just you wait and see, the elders will definitely not disappoint you."

These words were spoken by Chu Changge a long time ago.

As a result, those twisted ideas really didn't disappoint Nangong Li.

She didn't want her outer sect to become like that little bastard Chu Changge.

"But today, I used that brat's words to deceive Zhao Wei Yi." Nangong Li sighs.

Chu Bai said that this can't be called deception, but a well-intentioned lie.

Only talking without action is deception.

Elder Zhao has endured humiliation and carried burdens for the sect. After going through this ordeal, he is more than qualified to become the second elder.

However, the position of the second elder can be determined through a rotation system, with the most capable person taking the lead.

"Internal competition."

"Yes, Chu Changge used this term."

The living target has become the sun, and the outer sect's sun has left.

Who will be the second sun of the outer sect?

According to Chu Bai's words, the outer sect can have many suns, all aligned with the interests of the sect.

Nangong Li shakes her head, her figure flickering as she disappears to the back mountain's medicinal garden.

It has been many days since she last saw that little bastard. He is too mischievous, so she has to come and check on him from time to time, in case he comes up with any rebellious ideas.

However,

When Nangong Li arrives in front of the thatched cottage, she doesn't see Chu Changge, but instead sees a wrinkled white silk stocking hanging on a rope.
