My cultivation is too warm

Chapter 120 It’s All My Blame for Being Too Jealous of You

The elders all laughed out loud when they heard Xu Mo's words. Some of them shook their heads and said with a look of confusion:

"You young people are better at using your brains."

Someone nodded at them kindly, "That's indeed a good idea. Apart from anything else, just having so many of you young and energetic people standing here will overshadow us old guys in terms of momentum."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone disagreed, "Old man from Xingchen Peak, can you speak? You should not take us with you. We are the only beautiful women standing here like me and my junior sister from Yuanci Peak. Can't you see? I don't know what you people from Xingchen Peak are thinking, sending an old man like you here."

The old man from Xingchen Peak scratched his head awkwardly upon hearing this, "Sorry, I was talking about myself, not you.

As for why they sent me here, maybe they thought that an old man like me would be more suitable for the image of a sage, a Taoist master? And that I could make a better impression on the new disciples?

As soon as he finished speaking, someone sneered, "But look at yourself in the mirror, how can you look like an immortal?
Besides, your ideas are out of date. Young people nowadays don’t like those who look like immortals. They like those who are handsome and unrestrained, just like me now.

We at Shenjian Peak have made thorough preparations for this new student recruitment meeting, and have already asked me to learn how to be more handsome and dashing."

As he spoke, the young man with long flowing hair drew the long sword from his back, gestured a few times to the old man from Xingchen Peak, and said to him with a somewhat arrogant expression:

"See? Don't worry about anything else, but your posture must be handsome. That's the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, the old man from Xingchen Peak lowered his head in frustration, muttering to himself:

"Ah, so I don't look like an immortal at all, old man? I always thought I looked like a master.

I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all, but I'm already the old man with the best temperament in our Xingchen Peak. When the people were being selected, I won first place with a crushing number of votes. I really can't think of anyone better.

Unexpectedly, we still can’t compare to everyone else. Is it true that our Xingchen Peak is too backward?
It seems that we have fallen behind the times. Old things should be submerged in the tide of the times and should not come out to embarrass ourselves.

Forget it, I'd better go back. After all, this world belongs to you young people."

As he said this, he bent down with his hands hanging down in frustration, turned around and was about to leave.

The young man from Shenjian Peak became anxious upon seeing this and shouted, "No, old man, I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously?

Please don't leave. I just lied to you. It's all my fault. I felt inferior when I saw your celestial appearance. I wanted to give myself some confidence, so I said this."

"Really?" The old man from Xingchen Peak raised his head slightly when he heard this, and moved his eyelids weakly. His eyes were dull and lifeless, and he seemed to be still in a state of autism.

The young man from Shenjian Peak was so anxious that he almost cried. He swore that he was just talking nonsense and had absolutely no ill intentions. He never thought that the old man would take it seriously.

If the old man from Xingchen Peak really were to return, would he be able to keep his handsome face? Would he still be able to hear the gentle whispers of his senior and junior sisters in the future?

Thinking of the terrible consequences, he nodded resolutely, "It's more real than real gold. It's all my fault. I was jealous of your celestial aura. I sincerely apologize to you. Please don't take it personally. Please stay.

Our Tianxuan Sect's new member recruitment meeting can be missing anyone but you. Without a master like you in charge, I don't know how those new disciples will view our Tianxuan Sect."

The old man from Xingchen Peak heard this, and his dull eyes began to light up, but soon they dimmed again. "I don't believe you, you must be lying to me."

"I'm not lying to you. If you don't believe me, you can ask them," the young man from Divine Sword Peak cried anxiously. Seeing this, the others present quickly chimed in, "That's right, old man. You're such a master! You've overshadowed us all. You should stay."

Everyone can have fun and joke around, but don’t take it seriously.

Everyone was helpless about the old man from Xingchen Peak's actions. How could he take it seriously?

The old man from Xingchen Peak raised his eyelids and then shook his head, "You are in cahoots with him."

The young man from Shenjian Peak burst into tears. What's wrong with this old man? Why is his temper so troublesome? Then he turned his gaze and pointed at Xu Mo not far away and said:

"If you don't believe me, ask Wuyou Lingnong. He is definitely not in the same group with me, right? Everyone in the Tianxuan Sect and the entire Canggu World knows that Wuyou Lingnong has no eyes other than the Dao, and he is also pure by nature. He will definitely not lie."

After saying that, he gave Xu Mo a pleading look.

The old man from Xingchen Peak turned around silently after hearing this and looked at Xu Mo with some expectation.

Xu Mo, who had been watching the fun from the sidelines, didn't expect that the matter would involve him.

He sighed helplessly in his heart, then looked at the old man from Xingchen Peak with a pair of pure and flawless eyes. He scratched his head and asked in a dazed tone:
"I always thought you were some kind of Supreme Elder. After hearing your conversation, I realized it was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, but your temperament is really easy to be misunderstood."

Upon hearing this, the old man from Xingchen Peak's dull eyes suddenly glowed with a fiery light. Then his face flushed, and he said in a somewhat shy tone:
"Haha, Wuyou Lingnong, you're too kind. I'm still far from being as good as the Grand Elders.

But after all, you have only been practicing for a short time. I am the most charismatic person in our Xingchen Peak, so it is normal for you to make a mistake. But when you go out in the future, you must be more careful to avoid being deceived by some shameless people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the others present echoed him, "That's right, Wuyou Lingnong, don't be too trusting when you go out there. There are many coquettish and slutty women out there who just like to trick young geniuses like you."

Among them, the young man from Shenjian Peak was the most excited. He raised his sword in one hand and said with murderous intent on his face:

"Those shameless people out there, whoever dares to deceive our Worry-Free Spiritual Farmers, I, Zhao Xiujie of Divine Sword Peak, will chop them down with one sword."

Xu Mo was bewildered when he saw this scene. What's going on with you guys? Am I not cooperating with you to coax that old man?

How come you take this seriously?
And my acting was so poor just now, you should be able to see that, right?

I'm clearly laying it all on you guys, I'm done pretending, and yet you haven't reacted yet? Are first impressions really that lasting?
Xu Mo was speechless, but after this little episode, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively, and even the relatives and friends who were originally a little nervous relaxed.

Soon, all the people from the main lineage of the 101st Peak arrived. After everyone exchanged greetings, the elder in charge of presiding over this matter nodded to everyone and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

As soon as the words fell, a roar was heard in the void, and a huge formation lit up, covering the entire valley.

　I went to bed late to begin with, and was woken up by someone. It was so noisy, so I barely slept. I have a headache...

　　I'll take a break first. There should be no problem in reaching the minimum of 6,000 today. As for adding more chapters, I'll check the time later and try my best to finish them.
