The sky was bright and sunny, except for the black smoke at the top of Evil Spirit Mountain.
The sky beyond the black smoke was clear. Because of that, it made the black smoke incredibly eye-catching, and it also made all those who lifted their heads to look at it see that the sky was extraordinarily blue.
There were also some white clouds floating in the sky, and under the bright sunlight, it made all those who saw it unable to help themselves but feel lazy. If it was not winter, then perhaps the sky would have been even more perfect.
Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the sky. Qian Chen's slightly lascivious words were still echoing in his ears. He had never experienced this sort of feeling in his life. It did not matter whether it was the memories he had in Dark Mountain, the ninth summit, or even the years he had spent in the land of the Shamans, he had never entered a sect like this.
If he was not a direct disciple, no one paid too much attention to him. He was chased out of the Outer Sect as if he had been banished to the office of laborers. As he looked at Qian Chen, who was smiling at him with a lascivious look on his face, a smile gradually appeared on Su Ming's face.
He suddenly had a feeling that he liked this sort of feeling.
He did not need to think too much to know that this person was being so friendly because he could not figure out his origins. After all, on the surface, Su Ming looked like someone who had descended from the Outer Sect.
He might have looked as if he was being chased away, but this was how Evil Spirit Sect usually treated disciples who committed crimes. Because of that, there was a possibility that he would be summoned back. If that was the case, then it was no wonder why this Qian Chen was being so friendly.
When Su Ming thought of this, he looked at Qian Chen with a smile and shook his head.
Without a hint of hesitation, Qian Chen's expression immediately turned stern. That stern expression exuded a dignified air, and at the same time, it was also filled with respect and admiration.
Qian Chen cast Su Ming a profound look before he nodded slowly.
"As expected of an Outer Sect disciple, junior brother Chen. I originally wanted to use this to test you and see what your temperament is like. If you agreed to become a servant girl, then there would be plenty of beautiful girls listening to your orders every single day and obeying your orders as if they were the might of heaven itself. Then … I would look down on you.
"As cultivators, how can we waste our temperament for women? This is something we absolutely cannot do!
In fact, even if you really agreed, I would advise you not to do so. Because we are fellow disciples, and because I am your Senior Brother, I have the obligation to tell you that this is not something we should do!
Junior Brother Chen, I've always been selfless. Otherwise, the sect wouldn't have given me the heavy responsibility of doing odd jobs. And you, out of all the people I've met, you're the most valiant person, the one I admire the most! " Qian Chen spoke slowly. After he finished speaking, his expression matched his words, revealing the expression he should have.
It was as if he had been considering all of this, as if he was truly testing Su Ming.
"Then junior brother Chen, please be in charge of going out and buying things. This is an incredibly important matter …" As Qian Chen spoke, he saw Su Ming frown when he heard his words. A thought immediately appeared in his head, and his tone changed swiftly.
"This is incredibly important! That's impossible!" His expression turned into one of righteousness as he looked at Su Ming sternly.
"Because this is only relatively speaking. If it was anyone else, this might be a good task, but to junior brother Chen, this is a dirty task that you absolutely cannot touch!
"Going out and buying things is an insult to people like you who are immersed in training. This is harming you, and it's wasting your training time!
"What is time? Junior brother Chen, time is life. I agree with this saying the most. Don't worry, I will definitely not waste your life. In truth, you don't know this, but this is also a test from me!
"Junior brother Chen, my admiration for you has already surpassed everything else. I am proud that Evil Spirit Sect has a genius like you …" Qian Chen's voice was like a torrential river that flowed endlessly. Right from the start, Su Ming did not say a single word. All he heard was Qian Chen's voice echoing in his ears.
As Qian Chen spoke, he kept an eye on the changes in Su Ming's expression, and he gradually became nervous.
He realized that he could not quite figure out this boy's thoughts. After all, he had seen some of the disciples who had been punished in the Outer Sect before, but he had always been able to see through some of their thoughts with just a few words. From that, he could tell how important they were in the Outer Sect, and he could also tell whether they had any sort of background.
He could also tell whether they could be used by him, and from there, he could differentiate their ranks in his heart.
He often lamented about how difficult his job was. He had to observe the people's words and expressions, and he had to figure out who he wanted to suppress, who he wanted to flatter, who he wanted to be aloof, and who he wanted to be friendly to.
This was the most important thing to him.
However, Chen Su was someone Qian Chen could not figure out. Right from the start, he had not said a single word, and his calm expression made him look like a person who had not been chased out of the Outer Sect. It was as if he was just a child of a rich family who would occasionally go on an outing after coming to this place.
This attitude made Qian Chen's heart let out a loud thump.
'He's definitely a powerful warrior! 'This person is definitely a powerful person. It's not that his level of cultivation is high, it's that he has a powerful background, or else with his age, there's no way he would be able to remain so calm!' Qian Chen immediately came to this conclusion.
'The most troublesome thing is running into people like this. This person is ranked third on the Do Not Provoke Ranking I've come up with over the past twenty years I've been working in this laborer's office!' Qian Chen had a smile on his face, but he was incredibly wary in his heart.
He had run into people who had been chased out of the Outer Sect and came here. Some of them were arrogant, and he could easily deal with them. He had also run into people who liked to put on airs and were filled with murderous auras. He had even run into people who had smiles on their faces but had sinister looks in their eyes.
He had run into far too many people of all sorts during the past twenty years. If he were to use one of his famous words to describe how he treated these disciples who had been chased out of the Outer Sect, it would be …
'Darn it, even a dragon would have to coil up before your Grandpa Qian, and even a tiger would have to crouch before your Grandpa Qian!
'Something's not right. Something's really not right. There's something wrong with this Chen Su, something big!' Qian Chen bent his back slightly, and an incredibly brilliant smile appeared on his face.
"I know that the job that suits you the most is the job of distributing spirit stones. Don't worry, junior brother Chen. To allow you to develop better and for Evil Spirit Sect to become stronger, I will make a selfless contribution and hand over the job of distributing spirit stones to you!
"I know that you definitely don't like this job, junior brother Chen, but today, I realized that you're much more suitable for this job than I am. Please don't reject it. This … concerns the future of Evil Spirit Sect, the structure of Eastern Wastelands, and the fates of millions of people …" Qian Chen's face was filled with compassion, and his voice was filled with emotion. There was a slight quiver in his voice, as if he had turned into the master of Eastern Wastelands at that moment and was handing it over to Su Ming.
Even Su Ming was momentarily stunned by Qian Chen's words. If it was not because he was absolutely certain that this Qian Chen before him was not hiding anything or changing himself, he would have thought that this person was the bald crane.
In Su Ming's eyes, only the bald crane could compare to him in terms of eloquence. As for who would win, Su Ming was more inclined towards the bald crane. After all, they were at different levels …
"Find me a quiet and secluded place. I want to isolate myself." Su Ming cast Qian Chen a glance and spoke for the first time. His voice was flat, but there was a tone within it that allowed no argument.
Qian Chen's heart let out a loud thump once again. He took two steps back and scrutinized Su Ming from head to toe.
'Rank increased. This person is no longer ranked third on the Do Not Provoke Rank, but second! '
He was feeling slightly nervous in his heart, but not a single hint of it showed on his face. He still had that brilliant smile on his face, and when he heard Qian Chen's words, he nodded in a gratified manner.
"Not bad. Junior brother Chen, I did not misjudge you. I respect you, I respect you!" As he spoke, he even gave Su Ming a thumbs up. The gratification on his face was not fake, and there was even a hint of sincerity on his respectful expression.
He no longer wasted his breath. He patted his body with his right hand and immediately brought out a jade slip, which he handed to Su Ming.
"Junior brother Chen, I respect you. I won't say anything else, but you can choose any of the places with glowing spots here. You don't need to do anything, you just need to focus on your training. Junior brother Chen, I will support you with all my strength. If anyone from the higher ups comes to investigate, then I, Qian Chen, will shoulder all responsibility for you! "I'm just that straightforward, I'm just that upright, I'm just that upright, I'm a person who likes to think about others, and I won't care about my own gains and losses!
"Once we spend more time together in the future, junior brother Chen, you'll realize this."
Su Ming's divine sense was a little strange. He took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. Immediately, a map of the foot of the mountain appeared in his head, and there were plenty of glowing spots shining on it.
Qian Chen looked at Su Ming carefully, and a barely noticeable glint appeared in his eyes. He felt slightly smug in his heart.
"If you choose a place close to the Outer Sect, it means that the possibility of you returning to the Outer Sect is very high! If you choose the middle position, it means that you are also hesitating in your heart …
Hmph, if you choose the lowest position, it means that you are also confused about the future. Although this method is not completely accurate, it can still explain some problems. "
Once Su Ming scanned the map on the jade slip with his divine sense, he remembered the two-story building near the top of the mountain. After a moment, he chose a spot near the Outer Sect. That was the place closest to the two-story building.
Once he made his choice, Su Ming returned the jade slip to Qian Chen. Once Qian Chen received it with a smile, he focused his gaze on it and immediately, a slightly unnatural expression appeared on his face, but it soon returned to normal. However, when he looked at Su Ming, there was a faint sparkle in his eyes.
"There's no way I'm wrong. This person has a great background and will leave in a month at most. Such a person must be served well … Although he's not in the first tier, he's definitely one of the best in the second tier!
Sigh, it's a pity that I've been here for twenty years, but I've never met anyone who's ranked first on the Do Not Provoke List … Uh, it's better not to meet him. "
