15: Chapter 15...is it going to mean I have to serve you in bed?

Qin Zhaoxue and the others had previously thought that joining the Moonshadow Sect might be the most correct decision of their lives!

Now, after stepping through the mountain gates of the Moonshadow Sect, they wanted to ruthlessly cross out the word "might"!

Joining the Moonshadow Sect was absolutely the most correct decision of their lives!

The mountain before them stood towering and majestic, with palaces and pavilions appearing and disappearing amidst the clouds—an imposing Aura!

Could this really be something a First-grade Sect could possess?

The three women, including the yellow-skirted Huang Yutong, felt inexplicably shocked, but Qin Zhaoxue felt it most profoundly!

She had once been a Disciple of the Earth Flame Sect, which was one of the three great Fourth-grade Sects of the Qing State!

The magnificence of this Moonshadow Sect before her eyes was already comparable to the Earth Flame Sect.

More importantly... "Sect Master, this... this Protective Sect Array..."

Qin Zhaoxue's voice trembled slightly, and her gentle face was filled with incredulous astonishment.

As a Qi Refining level nine Cultivator, her perception was sharper.

The moment she stepped into the Sect's territory, she clearly felt that the ubiquitous erosion qi in the air had vanished!

Within the Sect, only Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, pure enough to intoxicate, remained!

But this... how could this be possible?!

Even as powerful as the Earth Flame Sect, it was rumored that such an effect could only be achieved in the core area of the main peak.

How could it be like this, covering the entire Sect?

The effect of this array before her eyes simply subverted her cognition!

Although the other three women's perception was not as sharp as Qin Zhaoxue's, they clearly felt that their breathing had become smoother, and their bodies instinctively felt comfortable and longed for it.

They also understood what this meant: cultivating within the Sect meant they no longer had to constantly guard against erosion qi and could focus entirely on improving their Cultivation!

Feeling the four burning gazes—shock, curiosity, and a trace of fanaticism—Ling Hao's mouth curled up slightly, his tone carrying a nonchalant sense of inevitability:

"Did you feel it? This is the Protective Sect Array of our Sect; all forms of erosion qi are denied entry."

"Sect Master, is our Moonshadow Sect... really just a First-grade Sect?"

The one who asked was the yellow-skirted woman. From their previous exchange, Ling Hao knew her name was Huang Yutong.

At this moment, Huang Yutong felt incredibly fortunate that she had been turned away by the Deacon of the Green Leaf Sect.

Otherwise, she would not have been disheartened enough to choose a completely unknown Sect to join, thereby obtaining this heaven-defying Opportunity.

Ling Hao glanced at the System panel that only he could see:

[Sect] Moonshadow Sect (First-grade) Sect Master: Ling Hao...

He nodded, his tone affirmative:

"That's right, currently it is First-grade."

Qin Zhaoxue and the other three: "..."

They had expected Ling Hao to say something shocking, like the Moonshadow Sect actually being a hidden Fourth-grade or even Fifth-grade!

After all, which First-grade Sect lets their Disciples throw Talismans around to kill Qi Refining Cultivators before they even enter the gate?

Which First-grade Sect could have a Protective Sect Array that even Fourth-grade Sects could not hope to match?

It's just... the Sect Master's Cultivation is a bit suspicious; only at the fourth level of Qi Refining?

No, that can't be right! The Sect Master must be concealing his strength.

The gazes of the four women looking at Ling Hao had already changed from initial surprise to deep reverence!

That banner read "Guaranteed Admission to Nascent Soul"... Now it seemed, this was also a possibility?

A Nascent Soul True Lord, with a single thought moving mountains and rivers, and a wave of a hand suppressing thousands of miles, was already enough to establish a behemoth like the three great Fourth-grade Sects of the Qing State.

Thinking of this, the four women's heartbeats involuntarily accelerated!

"Sect Master, you have returned."

A cold voice rang out, interrupting the four women's fantasies about the Nascent Soul.

A cold, elegant woman walked over.

She had a tall figure, wore a simple and elegant moon-white long dress, her black hair draped over her shoulders, her skin was white as snow, and her face was beautiful and clear.

A small cinnabar mole at the corner of her left eye did not appear abrupt at all, but rather added a unique charm, giving her cold temperament a hint of allure.

Ling Hao chuckled:

"Where is Xiao He?"

Yu Lingshuang's voice remained cold,

"She is in the Talisman Pavilion practicing the drawing of Talismans."

Her gaze swept over the four women behind Ling Hao,

"Are these the new Disciples?"

"Yes," Ling Hao nodded,

"Yutong and the other two have Yellow-grade Spiritual Roots, and Zhaoxue has an Earth-grade Spiritual Root."

Upon hearing this, Huang Yutong and the others lowered their heads in embarrassment.

Qin Zhaoxue was stunned, wondering in her heart: The Sect Master clearly knows my Spiritual Root has dropped to Yellow-grade, why does he still say it is Earth-grade to others?

"Sect Master, I..."

Qin Zhaoxue couldn't help but want to speak. Ling Hao waved his hand, signaling her not to say anything.

"Let's get acquainted; this is Vice Sect Master Yu."

Qin Zhaoxue had to swallow her questions and bowed respectfully along with Huang Yutong and the others.

"Greetings, Vice Sect Master Yu."

"Mm."

Yu Lingshuang nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over the four again, but without any contempt.

The Sect Master had recruited three Disciples with Yellow-grade Spiritual Roots this time, so he must have his reasons.

Seeing that Vice Sect Master Yu did not look down on their Spiritual Roots, Huang Yutong plucked up the courage to ask:

"Vice Sect Master Yu, is our Moonshadow Sect really just a First-grade Sect?"

Yu Lingshuang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint but meaningful smile, and she did not answer.

Qin Zhaoxue, Huang Yutong, and the other two women understood instantly.

Sure enough! The Sect is definitely not simple!

Ling Hao rubbed his forehead helplessly; fine, let the misunderstanding be.

He turned to Yu Lingshuang:

"Vice Sect Master Yu, please take Yutong and the others to the 'Sheng-Sheng Creation Spring' first to clear the erosion qi from their bodies."

"After that, go to the Scripture Pavilion to select Cultivation Techniques. Finally, arrange courtyards for them."

"As for Zhaoxue..."

Ling Hao's gaze fell on Qin Zhaoxue,

"I will take her to the small courtyard first."

Regarding Ling Hao's instructions, Yu Lingshuang nodded in agreement, her gaze carrying a trace of inquiry as she looked at Qin Zhaoxue.

This woman was wearing a smoke-green gauze dress, her figure was slender, her temperament was gentle and calm, and her features carried an elegant scholarly air.

Yu Lingshuang's thoughts turned slightly; the Sect Master is leaving her behind alone? Could it be that he wants to take her as a Personal Disciple?

Qin Zhaoxue felt her heartbeat quicken under Ling Hao's gaze, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

Why did the Sect Master leave me behind alone? Could it be... that he wants me to serve him in bed?

Thinking of certain rumors, her fingers curled tightly involuntarily.

"Zhaoxue, let's go."

Ling Hao didn't explain further and turned to leave.

Qin Zhaoxue took a deep breath, bit her lip, pushed down the chaotic thoughts in her heart, and hurried to follow.
