39: Chapter 39 Carving a Rabbit
Wait! Why did this fatty ask me, "Did you receive the notification?"
He was puzzled and asked, "Did the Peak Master notify you?"
Fang Yuan took out his identity token and shook it. "Great King, besides storing merit points, our identity tokens also have a voice transmission function. The Peak Master just sent a message."
"Ahem!"
Chun Xiaobai nodded without changing his expression. "Right, right, right. I forgot."
Bai Jiner, standing to the side, sneaked a glance at him.
Forgot my ass!
This guy probably doesn't even have an identity token!
If the Peak Master finds out, it'll be big trouble!
She couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.
It is said that this Peak Master offended some big shot in the Inner Sect and was exiled to the Outer Sect to serve as a Peak Master.
She usually has an uncontrollable temper. Two years ago, a Disciple was kicked down the mountain and demoted to a Utility Disciple just because he looked at her a few too many times.
If she discovers that he is a bandit who came here pretending to be an Outer Sect Disciple, it won't be as simple as being kicked down the mountain.
Chun Xiaobai, however, wasn't afraid.
Being a peeping tom isn't written on his face. As long as he doesn't say anything, who would know?
"When are we going over?"
Fang Yuan said anxiously, "Everyone else has already gone! I've been waiting here for you for half a quarter of an hour!"
"Ah!"
"Then let's go, hurry up!"
"You guys go ahead, I... I'll go back first," Bai Jiner said softly.
"Don't!" Chun Xiaobai stopped her directly and shoved the Immortal Cave's Array Talisman into her hand.
"You just guard the door for This Great King. If any big shot from the rankings comes to challenge me, just pour him a cup of tea and tell him to wait a while."
"Uh!"
Bai Jiner was stunned.
This guy... is he trying to get rich this way?
But this is still better than him going out to rob and plunder.
What Bai Jiner worried about most was that this guy wouldn't be able to suppress the bandit nature in his bones and would run out to imitate other Disciples by doing some petty, shady things.
If he were caught, his identity as a fake Outer Sect Disciple would definitely be exposed on the spot.
Watching their backs as they walked away with their arms around each other, she suddenly felt that this guy seemed much better than those arrogant Genius Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters in the Sect.
He had a vibrant energy about him and no airs. Aside from that lingering bandit aura, he was actually quite approachable.
Bai Jiner pouted, thinking of the Cultivation Technique he had bestowed upon her.
As if possessed, she took the Immortal Cave's Array Talisman and walked out. Standing at the door, she actually started guarding the gate for him.
...
Arriving at the peak, the grand array of the Peak Master's residence had already been lifted. Disciples with hints of worry on their faces were hurrying inside.
Chun Xiaobai felt something was off and asked Fang Yuan beside him.
"Why are these guys so nervous?"
"Great King, you don't know."
Fang Yuan leaned in, looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he pointed to his own head and whispered.
"I heard that our Peak Master... has something wrong with her head."
"Ah? She's crazy?"
"Hard to say, I only heard it from rumors," Fang Yuan shook his head.
"It is said that she used to be a peerless Genius in the Inner Sect. Later, she offended a big shot, her Foundation was destroyed, and her mind was damaged."
"Because of that, she often does some bizarre things and likes to cripple people's Cultivation. So, the higher-ups in the Sect demoted her here to be an idle Outer Sect Peak Master."
"Ah? She likes to cripple people?"
"Damn it!" Chun Xiaobai's heart tightened, making him feel a bit nervous.
If it's discovered that he is that peeping tom, that would be real trouble.
The main thing is that she is crazy. Unlike the Woman in Red, this one is a lunatic, but hopefully easy to fool.
"No, no, I can't let my cover be blown today!"
Chatting as they walked, the two entered the Peak Master's residence and saw all the Disciples heading toward the Martial Arts Field.
Chun Xiaobai and his companion followed them to the Martial Arts Field.
In the center of the hundred-acre Martial Arts Field, over a thousand people had already gathered, all of whom were Genius figures from the top of Green Bamboo Peak.
"Hmm?!"
Chun Xiaobai discovered a strange phenomenon: he could clearly perceive the Realm of these people.
And their Realms were all uniformly at Qi Refining Level 8 or Level 9.
Except... he looked at Fang Yuan beside him. This guy was only at Qi Refining Level 7.
"That's not right. You're only at Qi Refining Level 7, how did you manage to live on the peak?"
Chun Xiaobai asked in a low voice.
Fang Yuan scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed. "That... Great King, actually I'm just helping someone watch their Immortal Cave. When they return from their training, I have to return the Immortal Cave to them."
"Uh!"
Chun Xiaobai was stunned.
So, after all that, you're just a gatekeeper!
No wonder your mouth is so sweet, trying to butter everyone up. It turns out it's an occupational disease.
However, he understood now that being able to see through these people's aura and Realm was likely due to his success in Cultivating his Divine Sense.
The two waited in the plaza for a moment, and the field suddenly went quiet.
Chun Xiaobai followed everyone's gaze and saw a young girl wearing a green dress walking slowly toward them.
That woman possessed a cold, icy temperament that pushed people away, yet she also had a hot, blood-pumping figure.
Especially that incredibly beautiful face, which seemed to be carved by the heavens themselves, making Chun Xiaobai stare blankly.
The strong contrast between her temperament and figure, instead of being incongruous, actually gave rise to a deadly temptation.
"Damn, this woman is really something!"
This was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, aside from that Woman in Red.
Bai Jiner, who was originally second, could only rank third now.
After observing the data, he discovered that he couldn't see through this woman's Realm, so he immediately became vigilant.
That Peak Master, Peak Master Yun Huoyue, arrived in front of the crowd. Her gaze swept over them, and her first glance locked onto Chun Xiaobai.
Why?
Because out of the thousand Disciples present, only this guy dared to stare straight at her.
Chun Xiaobai felt his arm get nudged. He turned his head and saw Fang Yuan frantically winking at him.
He realized then that everyone else was keeping their heads lowered, while he was the only one still brazenly admiring the Peak Master's... figure.
"Hmph!"
Peak Master Yun Huoyue huffed, but didn't make an issue of it.
Her cold gaze swept over all the Disciples, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Then, with a wave of her hand, a table appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. On the table lay a white radish as thick as a thigh and a gleaming large blade.
Peak Master Yun Huoyue spoke slowly, her voice crisp and pleasant, yet carrying a chill.
"This Peak Master has always only eaten vegetarian food, but recently I've wanted to eat rabbit. You will all line up and come up here to carve a rabbit out of the radish for me."
Carve a rabbit?
With this big cleaver?
This Peak Master's brain really does have problems!
If she wants to eat a rabbit, she wants to carve a rabbit to eat?
