Having a bodyguard who also acts as a butler certainly makes life comfortable.
You lean lazily against the carriage, the small wooden table laden with snacks and desserts.
Today you wear a light blue silk dress, your long hair loosely tied up with a single jade hairpin, a few strands falling over your shoulders, gently swaying in the breeze, adding a touch of languid ease.
[These were all arranged by Young Master Lin during our rest in a nearby town. His thoughtful gesture of having you change back into women's clothing speaks volumes.]
You secretly scoffed, but what you actually said was:
"Brother Lin, any girl who marries you would be so lucky!"
Men understand men best; your subtle, unintentional gestures can easily bring you closer to him.
Unfortunately, although the other party is lecherous, they are not love-struck and haven't revealed anything about cultivation.
However, you also know that this matter cannot be rushed. When dealing with beings like the Chosen One, the only way is to make them willingly hand over resources; resorting to trickery or force is the worst possible strategy.
"It's nothing serious, Miss Lin, there's no need for you to be so formal."
Lin Bufan touched his nose sheepishly.
[Your lips twitched slightly. That's definitely a sign of being born with good fortune. Will you continue to say "it was just luck" in the future?]
Just as you were thinking this with a wicked sense of humor, the carriage suddenly jolted, causing your skirt to ride up quite a bit, revealing a pair of long, slender, and fair legs.
【"Gulp~"】
A distinct swallowing sound was masked by the sound of horses' hooves, but it didn't escape your keen senses.
You chuckled inwardly, but pretended not to notice Lin Bufan's gaze. You even thoughtfully adjusted your posture to make it easier for him to admire you.
Having already clearly defined your goal, you don't care about any of this; everything you do here is to become stronger.
[Let him watch as much as he wants, even sleep with him, but if he doesn't receive enough benefits, he'll suffer a lot in reality!]
As you pondered this, you simply closed your eyes and drifted off to sleep.
"Master, what do you think of Miss Lin?"
Lin Bufan stared intently at the sleeping girl, making no attempt to hide his admiration, while inwardly conversing with his golden-finger master.
To be honest, he had never seen such a beautiful woman; even his ex-fiancée paled in comparison.
"A little bit of scheming, but nothing serious."
A strange vibration emanated from the ring on Lin Bufan's hand, and an aged voice echoed in his mind:
"I have seen countless women in my life, but this little girl named Lin Qingyu is too straightforward. She just wants to attach herself to a cultivator who can protect her."
This woman comes from a very poor family, yet she has such a beautiful appearance and is still a virgin, which shows that she is not a promiscuous person.
If she possesses spiritual roots and you genuinely like her, you can help her. As long as you remain strong, she won't change her mind, and I believe you can do it.
[Your little tricks didn't escape the keen eyes of this cunning old fox, including your previous deliberate display of your appearance to gain protection.]
If you heard these words, you would definitely give this unknown senior a thumbs up, because that's pretty much what you're thinking in the simulation.
Lin Bufan had also received some pointers from him, but good-looking people always seem to have certain privileges.
Your methods will only appear cute and reveal your insecurity in his eyes, making him feel even more sorry for you.
"You may pursue those you like, and even marry them as your Daoist partner. But you must remember two things: first, do not let it affect your own cultivation; and second, never easily reveal my existence."
[Once bitten by a snake, twice shy; this old man has clearly learned his lesson the hard way.]
Lin Bufan, who had also experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships, deeply agreed, and the two unfortunate master and disciple found a resonance of souls at this moment.
But when he turned his head and looked at your sweet sleeping face, his heart couldn't help but soften, and he secretly swore in his heart:
As long as you don't let me down, I promise I won't let you regret it!
When you woke up, you noticed a significant change in Lin Bufan's attitude; the affection in his eyes was no longer concealed.
【? 】
[You don't understand, but you're happy with it. Since you've decided to collude, you don't intend to drag it out for too long. Before he enters the sect, tear off this veil of pretense and make him a proper worker.]
Lin Bufan is not Su Yu; you don't need to scheme carefully. All you need to do is offer your so-called "sincere feelings," and the rest will be taken care of by this male lead.
Having figured out the crux of the matter, and facing Lin Bufan's blatant gaze, you lowered your head shyly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"Brother Lin, what are you looking at?"
"Qingyu, you're so beautiful!"
Their eyes met, and everything was understood without a word.
With Lin Bufan, a master of Qi cultivation, by your side, you arrived at Yujian City without any obstacles. This is a stronghold where the Xuantian Sword Sect recruits disciples.
[The spiritual root test is still a while away, so you've decided to stay in this city.]
During the day, Lin Bufan cultivates, so you should patiently stay by his side. In the evening, he will take you out for a stroll.
Your relationship is heating up, and occasional hugs and kisses are commonplace, but you always stop at the crucial moment when things are about to escalate, preventing him from crossing the final line.
Lin Bufan cherished you even more, feeling that you were not a casual woman.
[But that's not what you're thinking at all. You know very well that once you join the sect, your looks and the protagonist's halo will inevitably attract trouble.]
[You need a perfect opportunity to give away your newly refreshed virginity, thereby taking your "relationship" to the next level and making Lin Bufan pay more attention to your cultivation and safety.]
Appropriate seduction is merely a catalyst for emotions.
The day of the test arrived quickly. The main street of Yujian City was bustling with people. Lin Bufan held you firmly in his arms, shielding you from most of the prying eyes.
The Spirit Testing Platform is located in the very center of Imperial Sword City.
It was a spacious, flat plaza with a three-meter-high white jade pillar in the center, its surface covered with intricate runes.
A piece of jade crystal, embedded at the top, gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight.
The plaza was already packed with people, but with a Qi Refining expert clearing the way, you easily squeezed to the front of the crowd.
At this moment, a man and a woman, both dressed in blue robes and exuding an imposing aura, sat on either side of a stone pillar, their eyes closed.
At this moment, one of the men opened his eyes, his gaze lingering on Lin Bufan for a moment, presumably realizing that Lin Bufan possessed cultivation.
The Xuan Tian Sword Sect has surprisingly lenient standards for accepting disciples; anyone between the ages of six and thirty, as long as they possess spiritual roots, can join the sect to cultivate.
Therefore, few people enter the sect with their cultivation level already acquired; after all, isn't it better to go directly to a sect to cultivate?
However, the man didn't do anything unnecessary. If any demonic cultivator tried to infiltrate, the sect would have ways to find them and teach them a lesson.
Therefore, he quickly withdrew his gaze, glanced at the crowd, and spoke calmly:
"The test begins. Step forward and touch the stone tablet in turn. Those with spiritual roots must gather here before noon tomorrow. Latecomers will not be accepted."
Upon hearing this, the crowd dared not scramble and obediently lined up to go forward.
After all, the bluestone ground, still bearing the marks of red, had already taught those who broke the rules a profound lesson.
The test began quickly.
As time goes by, you realize that the probability of possessing a spiritual root is extremely low, and a true spiritual root is practically nonexistent.
There are nearly a hundred people ahead of you in line, but only one person was found to have five spiritual roots and one person to have four spiritual roots, both of whom are of the lowest grade.
Soon, you reached the front of the crowd. After taking a deep breath, and with Lin Bufan's encouraging gaze, you slowly stepped into the center of the square.
Your refined demeanor and striking good looks have attracted considerable attention; you extend your palm and place it against the white jade pillar.
The next moment, three-colored light burst forth, and a dazzling line of text appeared on the stone pillar:
[Metal, Water, Fire – Inferior!]
