Three Thousand Female Students Ranked In Immortal Class

Chapter 34: Gambling with the Strange Chen Daozai and His Irritable Senior Sister

White Lotus Sect.

Hall of Swordbearing.

In the center of a huge lotus-shaped pedestal stands a nine-story sandalwood tower.

Ninth floor.

Moonlight as thin as gauze spills into the crimson attic.

On the four walls of the attic, there are hanging calligraphy inscribed with delicate and graceful small characters, exuding elegance.

In the center of the attic, there are more than a dozen small and large celadon teapots placed on a long table, with a pot of ice water. The porcelain plate in the middle is filled with ink-green lotus hearts.

In front of the long table, sitting cross-legged on a mat, is a woman in a white robe.

Her long hair is coiled into a cloud bun, and there is a faint pink lotus mark on her forehead.

With a mature and ethereal appearance, slender figure, delicate features, and a tranquil gaze, she looks elegant and gentle, giving people the feeling of a virtuous fairy...

If she doesn't speak.

"White Lotus Sect is playing a big game?"

"A game that even White Lotus Sect itself doesn't know about?"

"Am I just a pawn for White Lotus Sect?"

"What is Fan Ni up to?"

Her voice sounds cold and calm, but there is a feeling that she could explode at any moment.

Like a clear pool on the mouth of a volcano, it could boil, erupt, and destroy the world at any time.

"I'll go bring him back."

Saying this quietly, the woman suddenly stood up, her body trembling slightly, preparing to head east.

Just then--

A ethereal male voice entered the hall, with a calm and serene tone, carrying a sense of Zen.

"The world is so wonderful, yet you are so irritable, this is not good, not good."

The woman's clear eyes slanted, and the moonlight dispersed.

"Which eye of yours saw me being irritable? If you're blind, then just gouge it out."

The ethereal male voice sighed softly.

"You see, this is why I am the sect leader, and you can only be an elder."

The woman was taken aback.

"Aren't you the sect leader who won by cheating?"

The man countered:

"How reliable is Senior Brother Yun? He was afraid that you would be too irritable and ruin the sect, so he deliberately lost to me and let me become the sect leader. Think about it, with Senior Brother's strength, could I cheat him?"

Indeed!

At the pinnacle of the White Lotus Sect, facing the Hall of Swordbearing's [Lotus Heart Palace], there is a square tower.

The square tower is suspended on a giant rock at one of its vertices.

The tower is not large, only three zhang wide, and is entirely white, with each white wall engraved with lotus totems.

However, the number of lotus flowers on each wall is completely different.

On one side is a lotus flower.

On the other side are two.

On another side are three...

Four, five, six!

In other words, this is actually a dice, standing with a single point, a huge dice with an uncertain number.

It is the mansion of Chen Daozai, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

The Hanging Dice Palace.

This location used to be the Hanging Cloud Palace of Yunzhonghe, but now it has become the Hanging Dice Palace.

The current leader, Chen Daozai, is a handsome man with fair skin.

He is a gambler, especially skilled at cheating, without using spiritual power, purely relying on technical cheating.

He is known as the Gambling Freak.

While others who are fond of gambling often end up missing a finger, Chen Daozai has eleven fingers.

According to legend, he was forcibly added with an extra finger by his master, Bai Lian Laozu, in order to expose his cheating techniques and help him overcome his gambling addiction and focus on cultivation.

But in reality, this is just his excuse.

He was born with twelve fingers, making him invincible in gambling, and the extra two fingers are his Goldfinger, which he developed for cheating.

Later, because being invincible in the world became too boring, he decided to cut off one finger to see if he could find a decent opponent.

Unfortunately, such an opponent does not exist, and he remains invincible.

Being invincible means that no one dares to gamble with you.

He plans to cut off another finger when he has leisure time within the sect, completely becoming a normal person, and then step onto the pinnacle of gamblers in the form of an ordinary person.

His most glorious moment was when he won the position of sect leader from Yunzhonghe.

At that time, Yunzhonghe was forced to step down as sect leader because the Kunpeng brothers were causing trouble everywhere.

Before going into seclusion, he planned to pass on the position of sect leader to Zhang Lianxin, who was the strongest in terms of strength.

Zhang Lianxin is the elder of the White Lotus Sect and a Three-Star Immortal Venerable. It is only natural for her to succeed as the sect leader.

But this senior sister of his... is just too hot-tempered!

Back then.

When Zhang Lianxin was teaching at the Dongfu Immortal Academy, she directly challenged the authority of a certain Half-step Immortal Venerable appointed by the Immortal Court, and fought against the Half-step Immortal Venerable with the power of the Nine-Star Immortal Sect!

After half an hour of battle, covered in blood, on the verge of defeat, Lianxin had a breakthrough during the fight and ascended to the Half-step Immortal Venerable level, quickly suppressing her opponent. If it weren't for the intervention of the principal, she would have almost crippled the opponent.

As a result, Zhang Lianxin was expelled from the Immortal Academy and imprisoned by the Xingtian Pavilion for punishment.

In the end, it was Yunzhonghe who used various connections to bring her back to the White Lotus Sect, where she became an elder. Even so, she has not been able to enter the Immortal Class and has lost the opportunity to reach a higher stage.

Her deeds are widely circulated in the Immortal Academy and she was once an idol of the Wine Fox Immortal!

Influenced by her, the Wine Fox Immortal also caused a scene at the school and opened three tails during the battle, joining an Immortal Sect and beating the expelled Liu Xuanye, rendering his teaching position useless.

These are the dark history of the Immortal Academy and the topics of discussion in the Dongfu District after dinner.

It is worth mentioning that back then, in order to get Zhang Lianxin out of prison, Yunzhonghe had to entertain the high-level members of the Immortal Court and establish connections.

Among them, a high-level member from the Rainbow Cloud City specifically requested to eat Yunzhonghe's mount—

the Illusory Kun.

This is the story of the betrayal of the Kunpeng brothers from the White Lotus Sect.

This subsequently changed the historical pattern of the Dongfu District.

Yun Zhonghe, Yun Zongzi, the Kunpeng brothers, Fan Ni, Jiu Hu Xian, Li Wu Xie, every destroyed small sect in the Baiyun District, and even countless innocent Immortal Citizens...

It can be said that Zhang Lianxin's impulsive actions changed the history of the Dongfu District!

She unintentionally changed the fate of countless people.

She also changed Chen Daozai's fate.

Yun Zhonghe wanted to choose a successor as the sect leader, while Chen Daozai was only a one-star Immortal Venerable and a disciplinary elder. His status was not legitimate, and his strength was not as good as Zhang Lianxin's.

But at that time, Chen Daozai was deeply infatuated with this beautiful and impulsive senior sister.

So he volunteered to Yun Zhonghe, his senior brother.

And he set up a gambling game, winning against Yun Zhonghe in order to win the position of sect leader.

For the sake of the sect, as well as for personal reasons.

For the sake of the sect, he wanted to use the position of sect leader to restrain Zhang Lianxin, so that she wouldn't do anything outrageous and ruin her reputation, which would also affect the White Lotus Sect.

For personal reasons, he wanted to pursue Zhang Lianxin with the status and prestige of the sect leader.

He said it, but in the end, he was beaten by Zhang Lianxin to the point where he didn't even recognize his own mother. His handsome face was scarred, so he stayed indoors all day, studying mortal gambling techniques in his suspended dice pavilion.

Of course, this was also his way of taking advantage of the situation to relax.

The internal affairs of the sect were taken care of by Zhang Lianxin, and he only provided advice on the side.

At the same time, he also possessed the lotus lock left by Yun Zhonghe, which he used to control his crazy senior sister.

He enjoyed his leisurely life, staying in the suspended dice pavilion all day.

But now...

All signs indicate that the Dongfu District is about to undergo a major change!

Putting down the dice fragments in his hand, Chen Daozai suddenly asked,

"Don't you find it suspicious?"

"What's suspicious?"

"After Yun Senior Brother gave up seclusion and left the Caiyun Immortal Domain, don't you think there have been too many strange things happening in the Dongfu District in the past half month?"

"Many strange things?"

"Black Lotus capsized, Yun Zongzi, who is no less capable than Yun Senior Brother, was killed, Liu Xuanye was sealed, Bamboo Spring Sect was established against the trend, and your fan girl Jiu Hu Xian went to Bamboo Spring Sect as a resident envoy with her cultivation as an Immortal Venerable. After that, the beast tide went out of control, and Fan Ni finally killed the Kunpeng brothers after tracking them for a thousand years..."

Zhang Lianxin frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

"Are you saying that all of this is related to Bamboo Spring Sect?"

"That's right."

Chen Daozai, due to his long-term obsession with divination, had a very keen insight.

"Liu Xuanye's cultivation may be low, but she is not a simple person. Perhaps a major transformation is happening to her, and this transformation may plunge the entire Dongfu District into chaos."

"Are you just guessing based on your dice rolling?"

Zhang Lianxin said coldly, waving her sleeve and opening the window.

"I'll go and bring Fan Ni back for questioning. I'll be back before dawn."

"I'm afraid that the Fan Junior Brother you bring back won't be in human form anymore."

"Heh, colluding with an external sect behind the sect's back. I'll keep him in human form. If he doesn't behave, I'll castrate him and if he still causes trouble everywhere, he'll bring shame to the sect."

"Do not worry, Junior Brother Fan may have been deceived or coerced by someone. This matter requires a discreet investigation, so as not to alert the enemy... Moreover, from what I can see now, this may not necessarily be a bad thing. Both the reputation of our sect and Junior Brother Fan's reputation have been preserved, it's just that Liu Xuanye has benefited from it."

Liu Xuanye?

A chilling and eerie smile appeared on Zhang Lianxin's pale and indifferent face.

"I will go find Liu Xuanye. Although I didn't personally teach this student during our time at Dongfu Immortal Academy, her name and beauty were well-known."

"You cannot."

Chen Daozai firmly refused.

"With the current outbreak of the beast tide, although our sect has the Mountain Protection Array, Senior Brother Yun mentioned before leaving that there have been outsiders lurking in the Beast Nest Forest recently. I suspect that this beast tide may be manipulated by a powerful individual, and the level of danger is unpredictable. As the highest combat power of our sect, you must not leave the sect during this time."

"A powerful individual? Wasn't it done by that flirtatious fox?"

As Zhang Lianxin spoke, an image of a flirtatious fox chasing after women appeared in her mind.

That fox used to pester her, wanting to learn this and that.

It wasn't until she met Liu Xuanye that the flirtatious fox stopped caring about learning...

Chen Daozai said, "Although Wine Fox Fairy has a complicated background and unclear motives, she doesn't currently have the ability to control a beast tide of this scale. The outbreak of the beast tide is definitely the work of an outsider. I suspect that their goal is related to the Bamboo Spring Sect."

"So?"

"It seems that I have to personally visit the Bamboo Spring Sect."

"Are you going through all this trouble just to see a beautiful woman? Be careful, or I'll kill you!"

Saying this, Zhang Lianxin's eyebrows twitched, suddenly feeling a sense of loss similar to when Wine Fox Fairy abandoned her and started sparring with Liu Xuanye every day.

Although she felt relieved because of it, what was this faint feeling of loss?

She, a three-star Immortal Venerable, had become the most powerful woman in the Dongfu region after Yun Zhonghe left to tend to Li Wuji's sheep. Was she really inferior to Liu Xuanye, a newly ascended Immortal Sect member?

Even Chen Daozai, who had always secretly admired her, was attracted to her?

Chen Daozai's pale face twitched slightly, and the scars on his face throbbed faintly.

He thought, when does a dog's licking have its limits? Have you ever seen a dog that gets beaten up?

He would rather like Junior Brother Fan than provoke a violent senior sister again!

With these thoughts in mind, Chen Daozai solemnly said, "Stop fooling around, I have important matters to attend to."

"It may not necessarily require your presence. As the esteemed Sect Master of White Lotus Sect, personally going to a small place like Bamboo Spring Sect would be beneath your status. Send your disciple, Qi Ming, instead."

"With even Fan Ni encountering unexpected events, only I can go. I will disguise myself as a low-level Scattered Immortal. It won't tarnish the prestige of our sect, and besides, Liu Xuanye has never seen me before."

"You have three days. If the problem is not resolved after three days, I will not spare Fan Ni."

"Give me ten days. I need to first visit the Beast Nest Forest and understand the situation of the beast tide."

"Don't get yourself killed."

Saying this, Zhang Lianxin waved her sleeve, closed the window, and calmed her emotions, slowly sitting down cross-legged.

Under the gentle moonlight, her clear and elegant eyes were filled with grace and tranquility, like a noble lady. She picked up a cup from the table, lightly sipped the Lotus Heart Tea, and gently pursed her lips.

Crack!

The cup shattered heavily against the wall.

"This is so bitter!"
