The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Ruan Jun sneered, “We’ll see if you can still be so arrogant when we get to the Enforcement Hall!”

He stared at the Celestial Sword Peak group impassively, trying to detect any signs of bluffing.

However.

Not just Yun Jin.

Even Yue Zhao and Si Wanning looked completely at ease, and Yu Songnian, as usual, maintained his perpetual expression.

Ruan Jun narrowed his eyes.

What was going on?

Why were they so fearless?

Could it be that Yun Jin really learned it on her own?

No!

That’s impossible.

Ruan Jun recalled that Yue Zhao had always been cunning; they were probably trying to make him back down with this tactic.

Did they think he, Ruan Jun, was so easily fooled?

They were definitely going to the Enforcement Hall!

Ye Danxia, now in a panic, finally retrieved the fake hair that the bird had carelessly tossed into a bush. With trembling hands, she reattached the hairpiece.

Only after ensuring her head wasn’t completely bald did Ye Danxia regain some composure.

She approached Ruan Jun again, about to speak.

Ruan Jun, likely recalling her bald appearance earlier, averted his gaze even though she now wore the hairpiece.

Ye Danxia: “……”

Feeling both wronged and angry, she found herself uncharacteristically silent.

Seeing her like this, Ruan Jun felt a pang of sympathy. He said gently, “Junior Sister, don’t worry. After we deal with Yun Jin, I’ll have someone refine a hair growth pill for you. Such a small matter can be easily resolved.”

Ye Danxia’s eyes lit up, her mood improving. She said sweetly, “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

Ruan Jun tried to keep his gaze away from the hairpiece, nodding with a smile. He then added mockingly, “Some people with poor talent can only resort to such underhanded tricks. Unfortunately, a Five Element Root is still just a Five Element Root. No matter how cunning, they can’t fly to the heavens!”

As he spoke, he glanced pointedly at Yun Jin.

Surprisingly, Yun Jin nodded in agreement, “Yes, yes, you’re absolutely right. Someone like Senior Brother Ruan, who takes three days to learn a mystic technique, is the true genius. What am I, learning it in an instant? Just a clown, really.”

Yun Jin spoke with such sincerity, as if these words came from her heart.

Yue Zhao and Si Wanning couldn’t help but laugh.

Yue Zhao even added fuel to the fire cheerfully, “Oh my, my Junior Sister’s talent might be poor, but for someone to be worse than even her, what does that make them?”

Si Wanning pondered for a moment, “I suppose that would make them truly garbage.”

Ruan Jun’s face instantly turned ashen. He said coldly, “What good is being glib? Wait until we get to the Enforcement Hall and see if you can still be so quick-witted!”

Yun Jin’s eyes curved in a smile, “Looking forward to it!”

Ye Danxia pressed her lips together, suddenly becoming unusually quiet.

Mainly.

Most of her attention was now focused on her hair, terrified of becoming a bald little darling again.

Celestial Sword Peak.

Enforcement Hall.

In this world of cultivation, realms were generally divided into Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Dao Seeking, Tribulation Passing, and the ultimate Great Perfection stage.

Tianxing Sect was considered a mid-tier sect on the continent, with the highest cultivation being Dao Seeking. Those who reached Spirit Severing could become sect elders, overseeing important areas. Those who reached Dao Seeking were qualified to manage various peaks and compete for the position of Peak Master.

Sect Leader Zhao Wuji was currently at mid Dao Seeking, slightly ahead of other Peak Masters.

The highest authority in the Enforcement Hall, Yue Lin, was one level lower, at late Spirit Severing.

Yue Lin was personally appointed by Sect Leader Zhao Wuji as the Enforcement Hall Master and was the Sect Leader’s confidant.

So when Ruan Jun brought Yun Jin before Yue Lin, he couldn’t help but show a hint of smugness.

Yue Lin would surely side with him!

This time, Yun Jin was done for!

“Hall Master Yue,” Ruan Jun said loudly, “Upon investigation, Yun Jin, as a new disciple, used exquisite sword techniques in a competition! The Celestial Sword Peak disciples must have violated rules by teaching her sword techniques. This violates sect rules. According to regulations, Yun Jin should be immediately expelled from the sect, and those from Celestial Sword Peak who taught her should be punished. I request the Hall Master to issue the order.”

As the Sect Leader’s top disciple, Ruan Jun’s cultivation was on par with Yue Zhao’s, both just a step away from Spirit Severing.

Given the Sect Leader’s high regard for him, it wasn’t impossible that he might succeed as the next Sect Leader.

So Yue Lin was very courteous to Ruan Jun. He smiled slightly and said without hesitation, “If it has already been investigated, then let’s proceed as such. Yun Jin, expelled from the sect. Yue Zhao, Si Wanning, Yu Songnian, deduct one year’s worth of resources.”

Things were going more smoothly than imagined.

A smile tugged at the corner of Ruan Jun’s lips.

Ye Danxia’s gaze flickered, already calculating her next move.

Once Yun Jin was expelled from the sect, she’d be a stray dog! If she then asked Yun Jin to become her maid, Yun Jin wouldn’t dare refuse.

By then, the ring would be hers.

As Ye Danxia was considering how to bring this up again.

Yun Jin chuckled softly and said, “Hall Master Yue, is this how the Enforcement Hall operates? Making hasty judgments based on one-sided statements? If the Enforcement Hall’s punishments are so arbitrary, what’s the point of your position? You might as well post a notice that says: ‘The Enforcement Hall is just for show; whatever Ruan Jun says goes.'”

Yun Jin’s expression was disdainful.

Ruan Jun’s face darkened, “Yun Jin, what do you mean?”

Yun Jin sneered, “Exactly what I said!”

Yue Zhao calmly added, “If word gets out that Hall Master Yue so readily believes one-sided accounts, everyone will surely praise your wisdom and foresight.”

Yue Zhao’s sarcastic tone made Yue Lin’s face turn green.

He wasn’t wary of Yun Jin, a new disciple.

But this Yue Zhao was somewhat troublesome.

Although the Sect Leader had hinted at suppressing Celestial Sword Peak, anyone with a bit of sense should know to stay away from them.

Yet this Yue Zhao!

No matter how much they tried to suppress him, he remained highly influential among the lower-ranked disciples.

If he started spreading rumors outside, it could indeed cause some trouble.

Yue Lin’s face turned cold, “Since you keep mentioning ‘one-sided accounts,’ what’s your side of the story?”

As Yun Jin was about to speak, Ruan Jun glared at her menacingly, “That day at the arena, many people saw you use exquisite sword techniques! I can easily find disciples from that day to testify. I advise you not to harbor any false hope.”

Ye Danxia also said softly, “Little Jin, if you’ve made a mistake, just admit it. It’s not a big deal. We’re good sisters. Even if you can’t be a disciple, I’ll keep you by my side. You’ll just have to endure being a servant in name.”

Yun Jin ignored this lunacy and calmly said, “I’ve never denied knowing sword technique secrets.”

Yue Lin was momentarily speechless.

She admitted it just like that?

Then why all the fuss earlier?

Yue Lin asked coldly, “Which Yellow-grade manual did you learn from?”

In just a few days, she could only have learned from a Yellow-grade manual, and a low-level one at that.

Yun Jin smiled, “The sword technique I used is the Lotus Sword Technique.”

Huh?

Yue Lin frowned. Was there such a technique among Yellow-grade sword techniques?

No, wait!

His pupils suddenly contracted.

This wasn’t a Yellow-grade technique at all.

The Lotus Sword Technique was a mid-level Mystic-grade sword technique! In the entire Tianxing Sect, only a handful of disciples could learn this technique!

A disciple who had just joined three days ago claimed to have learned it?

Yue Lin immediately laughed.

He was about to mock her.

But then he saw Yun Jin casually draw a sword. With a gentle wave, a petal of a lotus flower quietly appeared.
