Yu Linger immediately sensed Lord Qing Hua’s malicious intentions and suddenly had a bad feeling.

  Ning Shu glanced at Lord Qing Hua and Yu Linger out of the corner of her eye. This pair of master and disciple basically embodied the story of the old fox and the little rabbit.

  Ning Shu didn’t have any conflict with Yu Linger. Even in the original storyline, Xiao Susu had never been hurt by Yu Linger.

  Xiao Susu was Yu Linger’s senior sister. She was older than Yu Linger and so she obviously would not deliberately cause trouble for Yu Linger.

  Xiao Susu was a little jealous when she saw how much her master doted on Yu Linger, but given her inherently weak and inferior personality, she naturally would not express it.

  Just like how well water wouldn’t affect river water, Xiao Susu’s romantic feelings for her master didn’t affect her relationship with Yu Linger. In addition, Xiao Susu had joined Immortal Sect with impure intentions from the start so she didn’t dare to kick up a fuss.

  She felt inferior and so was submissive, but even that couldn’t save her life. Being born into this world had been her biggest sin.

  “We’ll be heading to Immortal Sect now to test your spiritual roots,” said Gong Hao, the sword cultivator.

  As soon as Gong Hao said that, smiles appeared on all of the children’s faces.

  As Lord Qing Hua took in their excited expressions, he smiled. He looked as if he was anticipating a good show.

  Yu Linger couldn’t help but curl her lips in disdain. What a vixen!

  “You guys will walk to Immortal Sect’s gate from here, then climb the five thousand steps. Your performance on these tasks will be included in your assessment,” said Gong Hao.

  Walk over!?

  This place was at least six miles away from Immortal Sect. If they were powerful cultivators, they would be able to arrive in one breath’s time. But they hadn’t started cultivating yet so it would definitely be tiring to run six miles. And after that, they still had to climb up five thousand steps.

  “Hurry and start running! First place will get a reward.” Lord Qing Hua stood atop a tree, looking like a god who had descended from the heavens.

  Upon hearing that there would be rewards, the children all became excited and quickly ran in the direction that Lord Qing Hua was pointing towards.

  Since there was a prize, these children ran like the wind. None of them were willing to give up as they fought for the reward that Lord Qing Hua had mentioned.

  Ning Shu looked in the direction that Lord Qing Hua pointed at. It wasn’t the way to Immortal Sect at all. Rather, it was the complete opposite direction. If they realized it early, it would still be fine, but if they didn’t realize it and kept on running, then they would been cheated into running double the distance

  “Martial uncle,” said Gong Hao in a helpless tone.

  Lord Qing Hua fanned himself lightly, completely unconcerned. Seeing that a few people hadn’t moved, he raised an eyebrow and asked, “Why haven’t you guys started running?”


  “The rewards include pills, precious cultivation manuals, and spiritual artifacts.” Lord Qing Hua’s voice was very pleasant to the point it was almost bewitching.

  “Humph, vixen.” Yu Linger curled her lips as she muttered this under her breath.

  Lord Qing Hua looked at Yu Linger with a mysterious smile. He snapped his folding fan shut and narrowed his eyes. He was obviously conjuring up another amusing prank.

  The main lead seriously got treated differently. Cultivators were capable of even seeing a mosquito’s legs clearly and could pick up on the subtlest of sounds with their sharp senses. Lord Qing Hua had definitely heard what Yu Linger said.

  Yu Linger had offended Lord Qing Hua twice, but Lord Qing Hua said nothing both times.

  “Why aren’t you guys running?” Gong Hao asked the remaining people.

  One of the youths said, “I know that Immortal Sect is not in that direction.”


  Lord Qing Hua looked at the youth. “Oh, a youth from the Li family?”


  The young man cupped his fist and saluted Lord Qing Hua respectfully, “Yes.”
