Chapter 8
As one of the top sects in the Dachu Dynasty, the Great Mystery Sect was as prosperous as a large city.
Other than the standard Martial Arts Field, Scripture Pavilion, and Library Pavilion, there were also institutions such as the Law Enforcement Hall, Weapon Forging Hall, and Medicine Refinery Hall.
Due to the large number of disciples, there was even a trading market within the Great Mystery Sect.
Because the sect was powerful and occupied a very large area, every outer sect disciple had their own thatched hut.
Su Chen had just left the thatched cottage not long ago. Before he could take another few steps, he met many familiar fellow disciples.
“Senior Brother Su!”
“Senior Brother Su!”
When the disciples saw Su Chen, they greeted him enthusiastically. Su Chen smiled and nodded in response.
In this area of the outer sect, many disciples had received Su Chen’s guidance and were very respectful to him.
“Is that Senior Brother Su Chen? Sure enough, he’s handsome.”
“Senior Brother Su Chen is so good-looking…”
“Don’t you have questions about cultivation? Now that Senior Brother Su Chen is here, why aren’t you going to ask him for advice?”
“Is it really possible?”
“Definitely. Senior Brother Su Chen is a kind person. As long as you sincerely ask for advice, he will definitely give you some pointers.”
Walking along the bluestone paved road, the figures of the outer sect disciples gradually increased.
From time to time, Su Chen could hear some conversations.
“Senior… Senior Brother Su!”
At this moment, a timid and ethereal voice rang out.
Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat.
He knew that his chance had come!
However, his expression remained calm.
He slowly stopped and turned around.
He saw a clean-looking, delicate girl walking towards him under the push of several female disciples.
“Junior sister, what’s wrong?”
Su Chen gave a breeze-like smile and asked in a gentle voice.
Unlike the other senior brothers and sisters who were cold and had a faint sense of superiority, Su Chen’s smile eased the tension of this junior sister.
“I… Senior Brother Su, I have a question about cultivation that I want to ask you.”
This junior sister was a little shy. She did not dare to look directly at Su Chen with her big, watery eyes.
“What is it? I will definitely tell you all I know.”
Su Chen gently nodded and looked at his junior sister with a smile.
He had never seen this girl before, so she must have just joined the Great Mystery Sect.
Such a junior sister was the easiest to deceive…
Oh, no.
It was the easiest to make her build up trust in him.
“Really?”
Her eyes lit up when she heard this and asked excitedly.
She thought she would be rejected again.
Before this, she had already been rejected by several senior brothers and sisters.
Su Chen nodded with a faint smile. “Of course, it’s true.”
“Senior Brother Su, I keep feeling that I can’t use my full strength when I perform the Great Mystery Sword Style… I asked the elders before, but I was unable to break through that barrier. Do you know why?”
She frowned slightly while talking, her face full of distress.
There were many outer sect disciples in the Great Mystery Sect, but none of them had a master. But the outer sect elders would impart their skills and teach Dao to them collectively.
However, the outer sect elders were so busy that they had limited time for teaching, and they could not answer every disciple’s questions at all.
This little junior sister had been bothered with questions, but the fellow disciples she was familiar with were pretty much on the same level as her, so they could not give her any guidance.
She had been thoroughly disheartened after failing to consult three or four of her senior brothers and sisters.
This time, she plucked up the courage to ask Su Chen for advice after being egged on by a few fellow disciples she had a good relationship with.
“When performing the Great Mystery Sword Style, you must control the speed of the circulation of your spiritual power. Your body must also maintain a high degree of physical coordination in order to unleash your full strength,” Su Chen said gently while looking at her.
The Great Mystery Sword Style was the unique basic sword move of the Great Mystery Sect, and it was also a compulsory martial technique for the entry of the Great Mystery Sect.
Of course, Su Chen had learned it before, and his skills were perfect. Such a small question was quite easy for him.
“How about this, you practice it for me on the spot,” Su Chen looked at his junior sister’s half-understanding expression and spoke again.
“Okay!” she took a deep breath and replied in a clear voice.
Then, she took a few steps back and pulled away from Su Chen. After that, she began to perform the Great Mystery Sword Style.
“Clang!”
The longsword let out a series of humming sounds.
The little junior sister’s petite body began to dance. The spiritual power in her meridians circulated, stirring up the surrounding breeze.
Even though she was only a Level Three Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, the sound of her sword tearing through the air was enough to make the hair of mortals stand on end.
Soon, the little junior sister finished practicing the entire set of Great Mystery Sword Style.
Su Chen looked at her and nodded.
Just as he had guessed, with his current strength, it was not a problem for him to guide a Level Three junior sister.
After that, he pointed out some of her cultivation problems and practiced the perfect Great Mystery Sword Style for her on the spot.
When the practice was over, she suddenly revealed an expression of dawning comprehension.
Some of the questions that were difficult to understand were suddenly cleared up.
“I understand! Thank you, Senior Brother Su! Thank you so much!”
She bowed slightly to Su Chen with excitement.
Seeing this, Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that this was a small matter.
Then, he flicked his sleeves and walked forward.
He had an imposing manner as if he was going to leave nothing behind after everything was done.
Before he left, he saw the admiration in his little junior sister’s big, watery eyes. He knew that he had won another little fangirl.
He didn’t lose anything in this process. Instead, he gained the favor of his junior sister and her friends.
“Ah Jing, am I right? Not only is Senior Brother Su Chen handsome, but he is also very approachable. He never hides his insights on cultivation.”
“I’m already in love now. Senior Brother Su Chen is simply too charming.”
“Ahhh, who can refuse a handsome and charming senior brother?”
“That’s true. No one in the entire outer sect is more charming than Senior Brother Su Chen!”
Su Chen had just walked away when he heard the discussion of his junior sister’s friends behind him.
“Yes! Senior Brother Su Chen is the most charming!”
He Jing looked at Su Chen’s disappearing figure, and her beautiful eyes gleamed with luster.
She had just joined the Great Mystery Sect and was only a Level Three Qi Gathering Realm cultivator. The problem of the Great Mystery Sword Style had troubled her for a long time.
She had consulted three or four senior brothers and sisters, but without exception, they all ignored her.
She didn’t know how long it would take to understand the question just by her own exploration.
Now, Su Chen’s explanation and demonstration made her instantly enlightened.
Handsome, talented, approachable…
These were the labels that others gave Su Chen.
If only the first glance could last forever. He Jing’s favorable impression of Su Chen had reached its peak the first time they met!
