The School Beauty’s Super Rogue

"Qin Hao, I’m Wang Lianhua..."

Then, several senior brothers and sisters in the courtyard eagerly introduced themselves.

Only Chu Mo stood coldly aside, unwilling to come forward.

Qin Hao chatted a bit with the senior brothers, understanding their names and specialties, feeling a bit surprised: "This master is really too casual in accepting disciples, aren’t they? These disciples don’t seem to be prodigies; they just have talents in certain areas..."

Quickly noticing Chu Mo’s expression, Qin Hao thought that since they’re now fellow disciples, a little flattery was necessary.

So he walked over and cheerfully extended his hand: "Senior Brother Chu Mo, hello, please guide me in the future."

However, Chu Mo acted as if he hadn’t heard, looking at him coldly, indifferent.

"Uh..." Qin Hao felt a bit awkward. Is Chu Mo really already competing with me?

Before he could feel too awkward, Feng Ziyun walked over, threw an arm around each of their shoulders, and laughed heartily: "Haha, these two brothers are already so energetic on their first day! Excellent! Let us get along well in the future!"

This was trying to smooth things over, but Chu Mo didn’t appreciate it, saying blandly, "I’m going back to cultivate."

With that, he pushed Feng Ziyun’s shoulder aside and walked into a thatched hut.

Chu Mo’s departure cooled the atmosphere slightly.

Feng Ziyun said to Qin Hao: "Don’t mind him, the Second Brother just has that aloof personality, but he’s actually a good person."

"Especially with Junior Sister Ma! He’s quite passionate, like they’re real siblings!"

Wu Xiang stepped in to tease.

"Senior Brother Wu, don’t say such things! Senior Brother Chu treats everyone the same!"

Ma Jiajia showed a displeased expression.

Having been around for a while, she surely knew Chu Mo’s thoughts.

However, she was more of a pursuer of perfect love and didn’t have feelings for a stoic type like Chu Mo.

Her ideal man was handsome, talented, and humorous.

Overall, basically a man beyond this world.

"Alright, since you’ve all met, go back to your rooms to rest. I’ll first give Qin Hao some instructions."

Ji Xinhu spoke loudly.

"Little Brother, we’re leaving now. Come find me later after you’re done."

As they left, Wu Xiang enthusiastically waved.

"Okay!"

Qin Hao nodded with a smile, watching his senior brothers and sisters leave.

Soon enough, only Qin Hao was left in the courtyard.

"Sit."

Ji Xinhu led him to the Pentagonal Pavilion and sat on a stool.

Qin Hao didn’t hesitate and sat down beside him.

"What do you think of the atmosphere in the courtyard?" Ji Xinhu’s first sentence was a question.

"I think it’s pretty good, very harmonious, not as strict as I imagined." Qin Hao answered seriously.

He had initially thought that in such a fiercely competitive sect, disciples would be fighting and working hard.

But now it seemed Ji Xinhu’s place was an exception.

"Haha, it’s like this because I adopted a laissez-faire approach with them."

Ji Xinhu said earnestly, "Regarding cultivation, I’ve always pursued tranquility and non-action. Because of the ease, they’re cheerful but lack firm personal will."

Qin Hao kept silent, as he didn’t quite understand Ji Xinhu’s point.

Ji Xinhu sighed: "Alas, it only blames my laziness, not caring much even for my own disciples, resulting in everyone except Chu Mo having loose fighting spirits and mediocre strength. The Inner Courtyard Competition is about to start, and if nothing unexpected happens, our peak is going to be at the bottom again."

Qin Hao instinctively asked: "Inner Courtyard Competition?"

"It’s the contest among Inner Courtyard disciples."

Ji Xinhu explained: "Every three years, the Inner Courtyard Competition occurs, impacting the status among various halls and peaks."

"The better the performance, the more resources the mountain can obtain, and the more famous the disciples become."

"Oh, then Teacher intends for me to help the sect achieve a good result?" Qin Hao asked.

"Not quite."

Ji Xinhu shook his head, "You have unlimited potential, but you’ve just joined, and the Inner Courtyard Competition is less than two months away, so you don’t have the chance to catch up. I’m saying this to encourage you to cultivate as much as possible and ideally hone my other disciples, prompting them to pay more attention to this competition."

"Uh... Teacher, isn’t that a bit unfair? Am I just a sharpening stone for your daughter and disciples?"

Qin Hao was a bit unbalanced.

Ji Xinhu touched his nose, awkwardly saying: "You’re overthinking it; sharpening them can also sharpen you. Honestly, I value you a lot."

At this point, despite Ji Xinhu’s attempts to cover up, Qin Hao understood his position in Ji Xinhu’s heart.

Alas, such a formidable character like me is simply a sharpening stone.

Teacher, teacher, you really make me speechless.

Qin Hao felt quite sorrowful, silently making a decision: "Helping my senior brothers and sisters to strengthen their wills is my duty. But as a new entrant, I’m a bit short on cash. Could Teacher provide some funds?"

"Pfft!" Ji Xinhu had been drinking tea, and accidentally sprayed some.

He wiped the tea leaves from the corner of his mouth, widening his eyes, "You’re truly a daring disciple, extorting your teacher upon entry? No wonder you extorted Kong Denghui too!"

"Hehe, I’m not extorting; I’m asking for legitimate funds! After all, being a sharpening stone is hard work! Can’t do that without money!"

Qin Hao pretended to be sad.

"Alright, alright! I’ll transfer some money to your account later."

Ji Xinhu waved helplessly.

Having opened his mouth, he’s going to execute the plan no matter what.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

Qin Hao stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Enough with the formality."

Ji Xinhu gestured dismissively: "I’m not concerned with rigid rules. Since you’re new here, I should teach you first. What do you want to learn?"

"Learn what? Anything?"

Qin Hao was a bit confused.

"Yes, as long as it’s something I know, you can pick whatever you want." Ji Xinhu said casually.

"Teacher, aren’t you being a bit too generous?"

Qin Hao was genuinely surprised. In the Outer Courtyard, to learn any martial art or spiritual technique, you basically need task points to exchange.

What’s frustrating is those cultivation techniques and spiritual techniques, each one is very expensive, costing thousands of task points, with pricier ones reaching tens of thousands.

I’ve heard the situation in the Inner Sect is similar.

But Ji Xinhu just let me freely choose cultivation techniques, doesn’t that mean even those expensive spiritual techniques are possible?
