Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

Lu Jinzhao returned to the cloud and told everyone what had happened.

"Wuji Sect?" Rong Ying thought for a moment, the talisman paper in his hand fluttering, "Is it the sect that only accepts disciples with Yin and Yang attributes? When did our village at the foot of the mountain become their territory?"

They are currently located at the border of a country called Guangting in the eastern continent of Shuijing Continent. The land nearby is divided among five sects. The sects protect the safety of the mortals within their sphere of influence, and the mortals need to pay taxes to the sects.

Taxes are mainly in the form of money and food. In the cultivation world, people do not practice fasting, and everyone needs to eat food. Repairing the sect, training disciples, hiring workers to dig for spiritual veins, etc. all require sufficient money and food.

Ming Xiao asked: "So, Wuji Sect collects taxes but doesn't care about the life and death of mortals?"

Lu Jinzhao shook his head: "The sect protects mortals from being disturbed by monsters and spirits. Bandits disturbing the people is a matter of the human world, and cultivators should not get involved."

Sui Guanxian opened his water fan and waved it gently in front of him, "Let's continue on our journey."

Lu Jinzhao sat cross-legged on the cloud, took out the swords from the sword case and began to wipe them one by one. You wouldn’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked.

There were nearly a thousand swords of different sizes in the sword box, made of different materials and shapes, some of which he had seen not long ago.

The number was too dense, so he looked up at Sui Guanxian and said, "Are you giving me all your wealth?"

"That's a nice thought. If you want to inherit my legacy, you'll have to wait another ten million years." Sui Guanxian put away the fan and hit him on the head with the fan bone: "I'm just clearing out my inventory. You can just throw it away for fun."

Qiansui took a look and was impressed: "They are all top-quality. I'm just throwing them around for fun... He really is very wealthy."

Do you know that those top-grade spiritual treasures of yours that are gathering dust will cry when they hear what you said?

The small fish kept in the water fan flew out of the fan and circled around Lu Jinzhao curiously. When Qiansui saw it, he chased it with glowing eyes and tried to bite it. The small fish was so scared that it went into Sui Guanxian's sleeve and refused to come out.

Lu Jinchao put his right index and middle fingers together and cut a hole in the palm of his left hand, letting blood drip into the sword case. When the blood had almost dripped out, he cut again and the wound healed.

Sui Guanxian saw this and reached out to touch the top of his head: "Very smart, I haven't even taught you this trick yet, but you've already figured it out."

The cloud was driven very quickly, and within a few words they had already reached their destination, near Changli City. They got down from the cloud and started walking.

When they reached the gate of Changli City, the four people and the cat were stopped. The guards of the city were not only soldiers, but also people dressed as monks. They required everyone entering the city to show a token.

Rong Ying identified it for a while and recognized it as the uniform of Wuji Sect disciples. He whispered, "What is Wuji Sect trying to do? They even control the entrance and exit of Changli City."

Influenced by the traditional culture of the region, Sui Guanxian prefers light-colored robes with long hems and wide sleeves. He looks particularly ethereal in them, which has influenced the aesthetic tastes of Ming Xiao and Rong Ying to a certain extent.

The Shuijing Continent prefers warm and flamboyant colors. The clothing style is usually shoulder guards, belts, narrow sleeves or tight sleeves for fighting, and the lower part of the clothes is also short hem that does not affect movement as much as possible.

The appearance of the four of them was equivalent to telling the guards at the city gate that they were not locals.

That's why those people deliberately make things difficult, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Sui Guanxian glanced at the tokens of other people entering the city, and imitated one, successfully sneaking into the city with his three disciples.

His host's shoulders were too narrow to accommodate him. As for Sui Guanxian and Ming Xiao, they kept them away from strangers. Qiansui simply coiled his arms around Rong Ying's shoulders and said, "Aren't you a big boss? Why do you have to cheat to enter the city? It's so embarrassing."

"Face? Does it mean pomp and circumstance?" Sui Guanxian led Lu Jinzhao and bought five strings of candied haws from the candied haws vendor, giving one string to each person, not forgetting even the cat, showing no partiality at all. He said in secret: "I do have a lot of face in the Kyushu Continent. Everyone who sees me has to respectfully call me a celestial being, but what's the use? Aren't they still coveting my treasures behind my back and trying every means to send people to hunt me down?"

"Most of the time, face is the most useless thing." He took a bite of the candied haws elegantly: "Mortals often say that it is better to die with face than to live in misery."

The candied haws here are not wrapped in plastic film like in modern times, but in glutinous rice paper. Lu Jinchao opened his mouth and bit off a candied hawthorn, and the sour and sweet taste immediately filled his mouth. While eating, he nodded to express his agreement with Sui Guanxian's words.

Rong Ying saw that the two of them were eating with great relish, so he also started to eat with big mouthfuls: "Oh! So sweet."

Mingxiao stared at the candied haws for a while and finally chose to put it into his storage bag.

Tanghulu is not very friendly to cats, so Rong Ying finished his own in a few bites and took apart Qiansui's string one by one to feed it. Qiansui's mouth was full of crumbs, which made Rong Ying laugh: "Little Junior Brother, your companion spirit beast is really interesting."

Lu Jinchao didn't reply. He pulled Sui Guanxian's hand and walked towards other stalls. As long as his eyes stayed on something for more than three seconds, Sui Guanxian would pay for it.

Rong Ying was often ignored by these quiet guys, so he got used to it and stroked the cat silently: "It seems that your little master has a new love."

Qiansui rolled his eyes: "Stop stirring up trouble, I am definitely the queen!"

Rong Ying: "Oh, you know what the word 'prime wife' means, so you use it?"

Qiansui retorted: "Then do you know what a new love is and why are you here to drag it down?"

Rong Ying: "What do you mean by pulling down?"

After strolling from the street to the end of the alley, they not only satisfied their cravings, but also stuffed a lot of things into their bags. Sui Guanxian bought each of them something they were interested in, and finally took them to the tailor shop and made more than a dozen new clothes for each of them.

Ming Xiao tried to dissuade him: "Master, I feel my body size will still change, so I won't need that much."

"I am happy."

The implication is: Don't worry about it, just listen to me.

Rong Ying immediately pulled Ming Xiao away: "If Master is willing to buy them, then keep them. If not, give me a few. We are similar in size."

Sui Guanxian wrote down the different measurements of his male and female appearance on rice paper and gave them to the tailor along with a top-grade spirit stone: "Give me two sets of each style. Use the best fabric and make them according to these two copies."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the top-grade spirit stone. You have to know that spirit stones are the hard currency of Shuijing Continent. One low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a lot of money. His shop can't make half a medium-grade spirit stone in a year. This customer gave him a top-grade one right away. He must be very rich. He must be served well! Thinking of this, the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and walked out from behind the counter: "My dear guest, our shop has a set of the most fashionable styles at the moment. You will definitely look good in them!"

"The most fashionable?" Sui Guanxian's eyes moved slightly. "Fashionable means that you can see it everywhere on the street. I don't like to wear the same clothes as others. If you can make clothes that satisfy me, you will be rewarded handsomely. If you can't, I will tear down your shop. Do you understand?"

"I understand! I understand!" The shopkeeper nodded and bowed: "Please rest assured, just leave me your address and I'll have someone send it to you!"

"The top of the nameless mountain, above the heavens."

The shopkeeper was stunned, thinking he was talking nonsense to him, "Sir, please stop joking. I am just asking for your address."

Ming Xiao stepped forward to explain: "There is a village a hundred miles outside the city. The highest mountain nearby is named Unknown. The sect on the top of the mountain is called 'Above the Heavens'."

The shopkeeper suddenly realized and started recording in the account book: "I see, sir, your naming style is really unique."

Lu Jinzhao turned his back silently. He was still young and his spine couldn't bear this big pot.

Logically speaking, they would not feel tired after walking a hundred miles, but they still stopped in front of Yuexian Tower and decided to take a rest.

They came in because they saw the straightforward name and were curious about how this restaurant dared to call itself Yuexian.

Besides, the restaurant is a good place to get news and get a lot of gossip. Lu Jinzhao ordered a few signature dishes, plus a pot of Jin Jun Mei. Several people sat down in the private room on the top floor and looked out the window to enjoy the scenery of the city.

Sui Guanxian doesn't like tea, so he ordered a pot of fine wine. The wine was good, and the view was good, which barely lived up to the name.

Suddenly a female voice floated into Sui Guanxian's ears. He looked over and saw two beautiful young ladies in a compartment separated by a wall.

"Sister Li, do you think Brother Duan can win the championship in the martial arts competition?"

"You hope that Brother Duan will win the first prize so that he can come to your house to propose marriage!" the purple-clothed woman teased.

"Hey Sister Li, what are you talking about?"

The blue-dressed girl blushed for a moment, then frowned: "It's all my father's fault. He told Brother Duan that he must win the fight and gain fame before he would agree to his marriage proposal. I heard that Bai Chao will also participate in this fight. I'm afraid Brother Duan is no match for him!"

"Isn't Bai Chao your childhood sweetheart?"

"What childhood sweetheart? That guy..."

He had no intention of eavesdropping on the woman's thoughts, so he turned his eyes away and no longer focused his attention on that.

At this time, there was a commotion downstairs.

"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar! This is not a place you can enter, get out now!"

The best thing about coming to a restaurant is that there are always shows to watch. Sui Guanxian leaned on the couch and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a ragged, unkempt boy being stopped at the door by the waiter.

In this world, the strong are respected, and the weak can only be trampled underfoot. This is true in the human world, in the world of immortal cultivation, and in the world of true cultivation.

He has seen this kind of drama countless times. In the past, when he was young and impetuous, he would always intervene when he saw it. But later he found that bullying is something that can never be stopped. Evil people can never be killed off. After killing one group, another group will appear.

As long as human greed exists, evil will exist.

After his epiphany, whether or not to help others when encountering problems depends entirely on his mood at the time.

He looked at his little apprentice who was drinking tea and eating cakes, and shook the wine glass in his hand: "Don't you care?"

Lu Jinzhao looked up at him and asked, "Will he die?"

Sui Guanxian looked at the little beggar, countless fragments flashed in his silver pupils under the silk, and finally he shook his head and said, "No."

"Oh, never mind." Lu Jinzhao continued to drink tea calmly.

Sui Guan was happy: "Why?"

"I just rescued the old man and his granddaughter just now just to test the power of the flying sword, because someone's pressure was too strong, and there were no monsters near our sect." Lu Jinzhao stuffed the remaining half of the cake into his mouth: "Do I look like a nosy person?"

"Hmm?" Sui Guanxian pinched his chin with one hand, looked at him carefully for a while, and said, "Indeed, you look like someone who likes to meddle in other people's business."

Lu Jinzhao: “…”

Rong Ying and Qiansui on the side burst into laughter, and the laughter continued one after another.

Instead, the blue-dressed girl from the next room came out and gave the little boy a few silver coins. "If you have hands and feet, stop begging and go find a job. The Cheng Mansion in the south of the city happens to be recruiting servants. You can go and try."

The little boy burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"

Thinking of the fighting she mentioned just now, Sui Guan became interested: "Ming Xiao, go and find out what kind of competitions are going to be held in Changli City recently."

Mingxiao: “Yes.”

He stood up and walked out of the building to check the area where the notice boards were concentrated. Next to the notice board, someone was holding a stack of freshly-written notices and chasing passers-by to distribute them. When he saw Ming Xiao, he took the initiative to come over and said, "Young man, I see that you have amazing talents and are very suitable to participate in our martial arts competition. The competition is held by the Guangting Imperial Family and the rewards are very generous. Take a look, young man?"

Ming Xiao took a notice and asked, "Excuse me, brother, is this the latest competition?"

The man scratched his head and said, "Yes, there are few people here and it's remote, so we don't hold competitions often. This time it's held because the capital city has three-year enrollment. The preliminary rounds will be held in various states and counties, and the champion teams of the preliminary rounds will be sent to the capital city for the finals. If you miss this one, there will be no other competitions in the next six months. If you are interested, don't miss it!"

"Thank you." Ming Xiao took the notice back to Yuexian Building and explained the situation to his fellow disciples.

Sui Guanxian pointed at the three disciples one by one with his folding fan in his hand and said, "Go and participate in this martial arts competition."

Rong Ying: “Ah???”

Lu Jinzhao took the paper and read it quickly. The general content said that the martial arts competition welcomes talented young people under the age of 25 to participate. The prize money for the top three is 10,000, 8,000, and 5,000 respectively. The top five will receive 3,000 each, the fifth place will receive 2,000, the tenth place will receive 1,000, and the fifteenth place will receive 500. The unit is spirit stone. Although it is of low quality, it is still a considerable amount.

The top fifty can enter the Kotei Royal Academy and be given certain official positions. The higher the ranking, the higher the official position and the better the treatment.

"It's fine for me and my senior brother to go, but my junior brother is only three years old, so it's not appropriate, right?" Rong Ying was a little confused about his master's intention: "Do you want us to go for military training?"

"Your senior brother has a grudge against this person." Lu Jinchao's finger fell on the sentence at the bottom of the notice: 'The winner of the finals has the opportunity to be selected as a disciple by the eighth-level Venerable Qin Han.' "This person is the culprit who exterminated the Ming family."

The three masters and disciples stared at him with strange eyes. Lu Jinchao looked back at them: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Isn't everyone in the sect aware of Brother Mingxiao's affairs?"

"Compared to that," Rong Ying blinked twice, "Junior brother, you can learn calligraphy at the age of three? You are a child prodigy!"

Sui Guanxian: "I haven't taught you calligraphy yet."

"It wasn't taught by Master?" Ming Xiao was stunned, "It wasn't taught by me either."

Lu Jinzhao: "..." Are there any normal people in this sect? Everyone's attention was diverted to the horizon.

Qiansui raised his head and puffed out his chest before jumping onto the coffee table: "I taught you that!"

Rong Ying's face was full of disbelief.

"Speaking of Qin Han, at the moment, the three of us combined are no match for him, unless Master takes action." Lu Jinchao pushed the notice back to Ming Xiao: "If you don't mind Master avenging you."

Mingxiao fell silent.

Sui Guanxian waved his water fan lazily and said, "I can beat him half to a pulp and let you finish him off."
