Senior Sisters, I Don’t Want To Work Hard Anymore

Chapter 120: Hidden Crisis

At the peak of Imperial Dao Peak.

In the hall where the Sect Master Mu Yinghua handles daily secular affairs, a mirror of magical projection hangs in front of her. Several trusted elders stand around her.

The mirror shows the scene of Qin Muling talking with her senior sisters. The two hundred specially selected inner disciples are also present.

"Mu Ling's judgment is indeed good," Mu Yinghua said with satisfaction. With her cultivation as the Supreme Sect Master, she is satisfied when she examines these newly promoted disciples. It can be imagined how talented Qin Muling is.

A beautiful woman next to her smiled and said, "This time, the sect has added a thousand core disciples. It is indeed a good thing. It hasn't happened in many years! Moreover, among the eight hundred people publicly selected, we can at least get hundreds of them. Together with the two hundred selected by Qin Muling, it is a considerable influx of new blood."

They consider the problem from Mu Yinghua's perspective, naturally thinking that the stronger the influence of the Supreme Sect, the better. The remaining new disciples will be divided among dozens of factions, and each faction will only receive a limited number. They cannot be compared with the influence of the Supreme Sect.

Mu Yinghua nodded slightly and looked at Qin Muling in the projection mirror. She pondered and said, "This guy has made great efforts this time and deserves some rewards. How about this? Among the three hundred disciples assigned by us, you go and select the ten with the most outstanding aptitude and assign them to him as personal maids."

The beautiful woman looked slightly surprised and said, "Will Xue Bingxuan and the others have objections?"

The senior members of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace are well aware of the predetermined candidates for Qin Muling's Dao companion. However, it is not yet the time for everything to settle, so many elders have their own thoughts and are working on public relations to see if they can create opportunities for their outstanding descendants or disciples.

But Xue Bingxuan and Luo Huan are guarding Qin Muling closely. They do not allow anyone except the five of them to approach him. No one's face can be used.

Mu Yinghua snorted, "Those girls are a bit narrow-minded. Do they really think Qin Muling is their private property? As the direct disciple of the Sect Master, he can't even have a maid by his side? What kind of talk is that? If it spreads, outsiders will think that I am treating him harshly."

"That's true," the beautiful woman nodded. "Then I will make the arrangements. I will also admonish those girls. Qin Muling's growth is related to the future of the sect. They cannot act recklessly."

She felt that she understood the Sect Master's intention, which was to tell the elders of other factions in this way: Qin Muling already has enough people around him, so they should give up their thoughts.

Another purpose is to attract the attention of certain spies. In order to plot against Qin Muling, they will most likely target these maids. As long as they plan carefully, they may be able to catch some big fish that have been lurking in the sect for a long time.

Not long after, when Qin Muling returned to the backyard of Imperial Dao Peak, he found that there were ten beautiful and charming young girls in his courtyard. They had changed into cool palace maid attire. When they saw him coming in, they immediately bowed respectfully.

"Elder Lan, what is this?" Qin Muling looked at the smiling beautiful woman on the side in confusion. He recognized her as one of Mu Yinghua's trusted aides. Could this be the intention of his master?

The beautiful woman explained with a smile, and after a brief thought, Qin Muling agreed.

In the past, besides the lifelike puppet dolls, there was not a single living creature in Qin Muling's courtyard. Although his senior sisters often came to visit and accompany him in cultivation and play, at this stage where he had no name or status, it was impossible for them to really live with him, and the master would not agree.

Therefore, these new maids who came were considered the first batch of people under Qin Muling's command. As long as he was willing, they could become his core team in the future.

When Elder Lan left, Qin Muling hadn't even had a chance to speak with them when a puppet doll came in holding a name card and reported that there was a visitor at the door who had already obtained the permission of the Sect Master.

"A special envoy from the Dao Court? Tang Ruoxuan?"

Qin Muling's expression changed slightly. Although they had never met, their senior sisters had mentioned this person a few days ago. They came from a distinguished background, had outstanding talent, and at a young age, they held a high position, making them one of the rising stars of the Dao Court.

After weighing the situation, Qin Muling signaled for the maid to bring the person to the reception hall to wait, and then used a messaging jade token to inform their senior sisters to come and keep an eye on things for them.

It was hard to say whether the other party was a friend or foe, so it was better to be cautious.

After a while, four silent streaks of light descended from the sky, revealing the figures of Xue Bingxuan and the other three senior sisters. Luo Huan, who was out on an errand, didn't come.

"Young junior brother, just go and listen to what they have to say."

Xue Bingxuan touched Qin Muling's face and spoke gently.

Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with their master's arrangements, the fact that their junior brother immediately informed them when something happened showed that they held an important place in his heart.

Qin Muling agreed, and when the figures of the four senior sisters disappeared, they entered the reception hall.

A man in his thirties, dressed in a purple robe, sat leisurely with a calm expression. His fair skin and flowing long beard, along with his handsome features, gave off a pleasant impression, with a smile as gentle as jade, making people feel favorably disposed towards him.

Seeing Qin Muling enter, Tang Ruoxuan calmly stood up and smiled slightly, "Junior Brother Qin, I've heard of your great reputation. It's not easy to meet you."

Qin Muling nodded, "Senior Brother Tang, there's no need for such formalities. Please have a seat and let's talk."

Compared to when they last met Ji Yunfeng, this special envoy of the Dao Court seemed to give Qin Muling a better impression. The Seventeenth Prince was too calculating and had ill intentions from the beginning, so naturally, Qin Muling didn't like him.

"Junior Brother Qin is indeed a person with great destiny. No wonder so many powerful forces are eyeing you."

After sitting back down, Tang Ruoxuan casually said.

Qin Muling's eyes flickered, "Senior Brother Tang, what do you know?"

Tang Ruoxuan smiled, "Hehe, Junior Brother Qin's current value is not cheap. The person from the Palace of Calamitous Fate has already offered a price of two Acquired Spiritual Treasures in the black market for you. Anyone who can bring you alive to her can claim the reward!"

Qin Muling frowned but remained silent. Acquired Spiritual Treasures were not common items. Even the core elders of the old Supreme Daoist sects couldn't have one in their hands. Just for the sake of a junior disciple with low cultivation like themselves, someone had offered such an exaggerated reward. Qin Muling didn't know whether to say that person was foolishly rich or if they had truly learned some of their secrets.

"This is only your current value, Junior Brother."

Tang Ruoxuan continued, "In the future, when your cultivation improves, I believe this bounty will increase layer by layer. Even if you have the protection of the sect, I wonder how Junior Brother Qin will handle it?"

Another chapter was harmonized, so I had to delete half and resend it. Annoying. I'll quickly go and revise the document.
