The next day, Lu Xun woke up very early.
He cultivated a few times again last night despite it being extremely painful, however, it was also to the point that he felt a little pleasure.
And, because he did this, his experience value also rose to 606/500.
There would be a grand ceremony this morning held specifically for him, it was a rare grand occasion for the entire Demon Sect.
It was reasonable to say that this was the entire sect celebrating Sir accepting a new disciple, realistically speaking, Sir and all the senior brothers and sisters of Rear Mountain’s Small Study should all be present.
However, according to Sir’s temperament regarding these matters, he definitely wouldn’t come. In the past, whenever he accepted new disciples, he never showed up at their grand ceremonies, sometimes even, he wasn’t on the mountain.
Sir only simply instructed Shen Yan to do as he pleased.
As a matter of fact, even though he clearly accepted a new disciple, Sir didn’t intend to return to the mountain, as he was still traveling the world.
Then going by the rules adjusted by the sect, the sect master and various peak masters would arrange such matters.
Amongst the members of the entire Small Study, only Cat Southnorth loved to join in on the fun.
This was why she, who had always loved to sleep in, woke up very early today.
Upon noticing her erratic behavior, Lu Xun would be puzzled sometimes; didn’t this little girl need to cultivate?
After getting out of bed and washing up, Lu Xun changed into the black long robe that symbolized his noble status as the Demon Sect’s Little Great Uncle-Master.
The clothes that symbolized his identity was actually an enchanted armament, what’s more was that it was also a yellow-grade equipment.
After Lu Xun took a glance, the following information surfaced:
‘A long robe made of precious materials but doesn’t add any attributes.’
In other words, this was merely a… luxury good?
Lu Xun looked handsome to begin with, after he draped the black robe over his body, it was like painting the lily.
After all, a good-looking person would still look good even if he wore a burlap bag, this was the same concept as when some people wear trendy brands that could also make it feel like they were street stall goods.
After walking out of the room, Cat Southnorth, who was laying on the large chair, looked at him and said, “Tsk, tsk. It would’ve been great if you just became my beautiful mount back then.”
Lu Xun ignored her. This here was a small lolita that only knew to ride, ride, and ride from day to night.
‘If it wasn’t for me being unable to win against you, I would have given you a flick to the forehead right now!’
Since his grand ceremony was still later, it wasn’t time for them to leave yet. Lu Xun and Cat Southnorth weren’t in a rush to head towards the main peak to start with.
He glanced at Cat Southnorth and asked, “Fourth Senior Sister, on your grand ceremony, did you go on the stage to lecture?”
There was a lecturing stage in the grand ceremony, what would happen shortly was somewhat similar to Lu Xun going onto the stage to make a speech to all the disciples. It reminded him of the ‘city’s quintessence students, and school’s outstanding leaders1′ in his student years.
“I naturally did go on stage,” Cat Southnorth responded as she lifted her up her small chin.
“Oh? Then what did Fourth Senior Sister say?” Lu Xun continued asking in curiosity.
Cat Southnorth’s cat ears slightly moved, and as natural as it should be, she said, “Don’t anger this old lady, or else this old lady will cut your heads off in one strike!”
Lu Xun, “…”
He could vividly imagine the sh*t-faced crowd of disciples below the stage on that day.
It was also exactly on that day that the old Law-enforcing Elder, Gongshu Pan, set his eyes on the lolita, he knew that this one wasn’t easy to deal with.
“It’s about time, let’s go,” Cat Southnorth turned her head and said to Lu Xun. With her choice of words and tone, it sounded a little like when an ancient jailer would inform the criminal to head to his execution.
Lu Xun nodded and then got on Cat Southnorth’s paper crane together.
If he relied on his ’11th line public transportation1’ to go up and down the mountain, then it would be really exhausting.
The grand ceremony was held at the Demon Sect’s main peak, and all those that should be attending were all here.
The crowd of disciples wanted to get a good look at the new Little Uncle-Master, this was mainly to see if he was as good-looking as said to be in the rumors that had floated around. They also wanted to see whether this young senior who jumped off the cliff at a moment’s notice had anything special.
The paper crane flew in the sky and wasn’t too far from the main peak by this point. Lu Xun could already roughly see the crowd of Demon Sect disciples at the bottom.
Sure enough, even though the number of Demon Sect disciples were incomparable to the four great sects of the orthodox Daos, there were still quite a number of people.
As the paper crane landed, everyone’s gaze simultaneously focused on Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was rather easy-going and natural. They wanted to look, so he let them look. He wasn’t Wei Jie1 who was recorded in the Chinese Classics, naturally, he wouldn’t die from being looked at.
On the contrary, he was also sizing up the surrounding disciples.
This was especially for the female disciples whose gazes crossed with his, many of them actually blushed.
“Little Uncle-master is actually more handsome than what was said in the rumors!”
However, the Demon Sect’s atmosphere was quite unrestrained. Although the female disciples were slightly bashful, they still continued to stare at him with blushed faces, it was as if once they looked longer, it would be a profit.
Regarding these kinds of gazes, Lu Xun was already somewhat used to it. But what was with the male disciples that blushed!?
Cat Southnorth was really mischievous. She didn’t land the paper crane on the high stage deliberately, and instead, threw Lu Xun off on the ground before flying up alone by herself.
Since Lu Xun still didn’t know how to fly right now, he had to walk all the way to the stage while passing through the disciples.
This was extremely troublesome. As he walked along, the tide of people automatically parted and made way. The people on both sides of the small path said in chorus, “Respect to Little Great Uncle-Master!”
The sound was like rumbling thunder, it resonated through the skies!
Lu Xun searched for Ji Li’s figure inside the crowd, and with great difficulty, he saw her desperately tip-toeing in order to see himself.
Lu Xun gave a faint smile in her direction, as a consequence of this mere action of his, the female disciples in that entire area all blushed, the expressions in their eyes looked as if they were melting.
He passed through the crowd of outer sect disciples and sect attendants, amongst which, he noticed that the number of inner sect disciples was far less.
Amongst them, Mu Rongyan was the one who stood out the most.
The cultivation of these inner sect disciples far surpassed Lu Xun’s, if they were placed in the ordinary world, they were all worthy enough to be called celestial masters.
However, the kind of mentally deficient plot as described in novels didn’t happen. Even if they were all prodigies, and that Lu Xun had an instant jump in seniority despite his extremely low cultivation, all the inner sect disciples still respectfully paid their obeisance, “Respect to Little Great Uncle-Master!”
If a person didn’t even understand courtesy and didn’t even have the most basic qualities, why would a large sect groom them as core disciples? Wouldn’t the sect be humiliated and afraid that they would train the kind of person that would stir up some source of disaster?
Even though the Demon Sect was certainly notoriously arrogant and despotic to the outside world, they even seemed to have no restrictions. However, on the inside of the sect, rules were still followed.
Not to mention, respecting Lu Xun was the same as respecting Sir, even if Lu Xun didn’t advance by an inch and stayed an ordinary man his entire life, the Demon Sect’s disciples were still willing to address him deferentially as ‘Little Great Uncle-Master’, they wouldn’t feel an ounce of shame about it.
…This was because all of the Demon Sect’s disciples took pride in Sir.
As Lu Xun walked upwards, the various elders and peak masters could be seen waiting for him. Of course, standing in the middle of the group was the glistening Sect Master Shen Yan.
Everyone greeted him in a hurry and said, “Respect to Little Uncle-Master!”
Only Cat Southnorth, who loved to play tricks on Lu Xun stood by the side beaming, she even stuck her tongue out at him, she only lacked making the sounds to annoy him further, “Lue, lue, lue1.”
‘Stinking lolita!’ Lu Xun thought, ‘Acting so outrageous just because you look cute!’
However, what astonished him was that he had only simply walked around the crowd once, so how did his sect’s prestige value… rise!?
His prestige value increased from the original 900 points in tiny increments. The rate of growth wasn’t that fast, but it couldn’t be considered as slow either!
He clearly didn’t do anything just now, but had simply just shown his face to the public for the first time…
However, with this growth rate, it would still be quite some distance from the mission’s objective of 2000 points.
Thinking about the entire process, the last step he needed to do was to go on stage and give the Demon Sect disciples a lecture.
After walking onto the tall stage, everyone listened on respectfully with their attention focused on him. However, he didn’t say a word at all.
He wore a warm smile on his face as he swept his eyes over everyone present.
Every single adorable junior present was someone he viewed as a prestige value harvesting machine.
Lu Xun always treated everyone equally, hence, he regarded everyone as tools.
He quietly stood on the tall stage—the cold breeze brushed past him, it blew the hems of his clothes upwards—his posture was quite relaxed.
The smile on his face was very cordial, looking at it was like bathing in the warm sun. And because he looked too handsome, he seemed elegant and refined.
Even after a while, he still didn’t say a word and simply smiled.
And then, under the watchful eyes of the people, Lu Xun silently clicked on…
…Level up.
