"After all, you don't look like a powerhouse and you definitely don't look like a good person."
The young girl pouted and looked at Ling Xian with disdain.
Disdain?
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ever since he began his cultivation journey, he has been mocked and looked down on. But he has never been disdained.
Yet now, this young girl was looking down on him. This made him speechless. What she said made him even more speechless.
What did she mean by not looking like a powerhouse?
What did she mean by not being a good person?
It's fine if he was a powerhouse, but which part of him didn't look like a good person?
Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Though he was cruel to his enemies, he had a kind nature. Even if he wasn't full of righteousness, he was at least harmless. Why did this young girl call him a bad person?
However, with his mentality, he wasn't going to get mad at a young girl.
"Then tell me, which part of me doesn't look like a powerhouse?" Ling Xian softly grinned, wanting to hear her judgment.
"What kind of powerhouse would come to the Stairway to Heaven for no reason?"
The young girl looked at Ling Xian with disdain. She looked at Ling Xian like he was an idiot and pouted, "Look at how skinny you are. You don't have any Qi at all. I can tell you are an ordinary person."
"Skinny?"
Ling Xian chuckled. Though he looked skinny, he was nowhere near the word skinny. Plus, his entire body was filled with muscles and possessed great strength. It was just that his clothes didn't show it.
"Interesting. Then tell me, why don't I look like a good person?" Ling Xian smiled.
The young girl's face was full of disdain. Her bright black eyes were full of caution, "You started a conversation with me the moment you arrived. It's obvious that you are up to no good. How can you be a good person?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian became even more speechless. The reason why he started a conversation with her was because nobody has been interested in the Stairway to Heaven for a long time. Now that he was here, he was naturally curious.
Then, because of the young girl's stubbornness, how did it turn into a conversation with her?
In all honesty, she was just a little girl who hadn't even grown up yet. How could he have any improper thoughts?
"Alright, don't talk anymore. If I continue to listen, you won't be able to say anything good about me. "
Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, "After all, in your eyes, I am a bad person who is plotting against you."
"No, you still have some good points." The girl's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"What?"
Ling Xian was a little curious. But what the girl said next made him speechless again.
"You know your limits."
The girl pursed her lips and snickered. "At least you know that I can't say anything good about you." "You're quite an interesting girl."
Ling Xian chuckled, "Ever since I began my cultivation journey, this is the first time someone has looked at me like I am an idiot. This is also the first time someone has looked down on me."
"Hehe, then you didn't meet me earlier." The young girl giggled. Her voice was as clear and melodious as a silver bell.
But in the next moment, she restrained her smile and said, "I won't joke with you anymore. I have to continue climbing these stone steps."
As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and walked up.
However, she had only taken a few steps when her legs gave way and she fell on the stone steps.
This made Ling Xian frown and he extended his hand to help her up. Unexpectedly, the young girl slapped his hand away, "I don't need your help. I can get up myself."
"You sure are stubborn."
Ling Xian shook his head, "Don't climb. You are merely a mortal body. There is no way you can step over the stairs."
"I don't believe it."
The young girl gritted her teeth. Her eyes were full of determination, "I have to step over this stone step and enter the Wan Jian House."
"I admire people who are persistent."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "People should have this kind of determination, especially cultivators."
Hearing this, the young girl's eyes flashed with strangeness. She said softly, "You are different from others. Those people think that only those with natural talent can achieve success on the path of cultivation."
"Then what do you think?" Ling Xian asked softly.
"If I am like those people, then I will go home today. I won't come here to torment myself." The young girl spoke softly. Other than determination on her face, there was also some sadness.
Her natural talent was not good and her enlightenment abilities were terrible. She failed the Wan Jian House's test. However, she didn't want to be an ordinary person and be at the mercy of others.
Therefore, she came to the Stairway to Heaven and attempted to enter the Shang Qing House this way.
"That's true. It looks like I asked another idiotic question." Ling Xian chuckled.
The young girl bitterly smiled, "The person in charge of the test said I have low natural talent and that I am useless. I don't even have the right to cultivate."
"Useless? You don't even have the right? "
Ling Xian frowned. Ignoring the fact that the young girl didn't have natural talent, what she said was hurtful enough. Even if she had no natural talent and could only be an ordinary person for the rest of her life, he couldn't say it like that. It would damage the Wan Jian House's image.
Then, he manipulated his Qi to check out the young girl's natural talent. But when he scanned her with his Soul, he was stunned.
Because he found a mysterious power in the young girl's eyes. This power is known as the Inner Eyes in the Taoism community!
As everyone knows, only those with high natural talent can awaken the Inner Eyes. Ling Xian's Inner Eyes, for example, can only be awakened by those with extraordinary talent.
Even the most common and lowest ranked Inner Eyes can only be awakened by those with great natural talent. Though this young girl hasn't awakened her Inner Eyes yet, the mysterious power was unmistakable. One day, she will for sure transform into an Inner Eye.
How is this not natural talent? She is a one in a million genius!
Then, Ling Xian frowned, a little unhappy.
The Wan Jian House has treated him well and he has long considered the House his home. Yet the person in charge of the test treated a genius like trash and refused to let him in.
To put it lightly, it was a moment of negligence. But to put it seriously, it was hindering the Wan Jian House's development!
Think about it, if in the future, geniuses continue to be rejected, then how can the Wan Jian House replenish new blood? How can the House produce powerhouses?
"Great, a one in a million good seedling is actually treated as trash. The person in charge of the test sure is capable. "
Ling Xian hissed and shifted his gaze towards the young girl, "Come with me, I will seek justice for you."
"Justice?"
The young girl laughed. It was a laugh of amusement, but it was also a laugh of sadness. She slowly rolled up her right sleeve, revealing a bright red scar with dried blood on it.
"I admit, after I heard that I didn't pass the test, my emotions weren't right. But I merely begged that person to let me try again. Not only did he not agree, he even whipped me. "
Hearing this, Ling Xian's face darkened.
Even if the young girl really was a mortal without natural talent, the person in charge couldn't have done this. Wouldn't that be tarnishing the Wan Jian House's reputation?
He treated the Wan Jian House as his home, why wouldn't he be angry?
"You don't need to say more. I will seek justice for you."
After uttering out those words, Ling Xian tore open the void with his left hand and grabbed onto the young girl with his right. They headed towards the test location.
