The Game with Fairies

It was clear that the real murderer was only targeting Qin Haie, a foe she must have provoked from somewhere.

Now that the perpetrator had voluntarily disappeared, Elder Qi Rui couldn’t be bothered to pursue the matter further.

After all, Qin Haie was just one of his disciples and a dead one at that. The dead are not of much value.

Even Qin Haie’s rivals within the Inner Sect gradually forgot about this arrogant and domineering woman as time passed.

However, the servant disciples in the Outer Sect of the Demon Refining Sect were very interested in the death of Senior Sister Qin, and all sorts of wild rumors were flying around.

Qin Haie’s death was mysterious. She couldn’t survive even under the protection of four elders, and after her death, her master, Elder Qi, didn’t pursue the cause…

All these signs, in the eyes of the Servant Disciples of the Outer Sect, were filled with the scent of conspiracy in a mysterious event.

Thus, these idle Outer Sect disciples expressed different opinions about Senior Sister Qin’s death, and some even continuously probed for ‘accurate information from the Inner Sect’.

In this way, through word of mouth among the Outer Sect disciples, the death of the arrogant and domineering Senior Sister Qin became a great unsolved mystery of the Demon Refining Sect’s Outer Sect.

Everyone was guessing which big shot had killed Qin Haie, to the extent that even Elder Qi dared not investigate.

However, as time passed, the Outer Sect disciples gradually had less time to care about the death of Senior Sister Qin.

With the closing of the Demon Refining Sect’s mountain gate and the approach of autumn, the biennial sect selection conference of the Demon Refining Sect was fast approaching.

This biennial sect selection conference would select disciples with excellent aptitude or those who had reached the Qi Refining Realm Ninth Layer or above from the Outer Sect to join the Inner Sect.

For the vast majority of Outer Sect disciples, this was an opportunity to soar to the heavens.

Many young people crowded into the Outer Sect of the Demon Refining Sect to work as menial laborers and toiling to death, so many people seek this path of promotion.

If one had excellent aptitude or met the cultivation requirements, fulfilling one of the two conditions would allow entry into the Inner Sect.

Once in the Inner Sect, one would become a true disciple of the Demon Refining Sect, with an identity plaque registered in the records and access to more sect cultivation resources. �

Even if one’s cultivation in the Inner Sect did not go smoothly and it was difficult to become a great cultivator, there was a complete chance to be dispatched to various county towns to become a county lord or city master as long as one passed the sect’s assessment.

For these small fry of the Outer Sect, entering the Inner Sect meant a class leap, becoming a person of high status with limitless prospects under the rule of the Demonic Sect.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the Outer Sect gradually became tense as the biennial sect selection drew closer.

Ning Wan’er, Guan Xiaoshun, and other new disciples who had not yet participated in the sect selection were all anxious, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the big selection, hoping to be lucky enough to be chosen and promoted to the Inner Sect.

As for the old disciples who had been around for several years, they began to sell various ‘helpful’ spiritual items for the big selection.

There were spiritual medicines that were said to improve aptitude in a short time, which sold out almost immediately in the Outer Sect.

There was also so-called ‘insider information’ that was widely circulated in the Outer Sect.

Li Muyang occasionally descended from the mountain and couldn’t help shaking his head at the bustling scene of the Outer Sect.

The sight of old hands deceiving newcomers felt strangely familiar, reminiscent of the freshman orientation season in his previous life’s college.

His sister, Li Yuechan, had been cured these past few days.

Li Muyang had been refining high-grade spiritual rice for her to consume daily, finally managing to completely eradicate the demonic energy within her body.

Now, Li Muyang had returned to his regular routine. Farming every day, making rain, then eating spiritual rice meals and playing games.

His cultivation was also steadily improving with the nourishment from the high-grade spiritual rice meals.

【Li Muyang: Qi Refining Realm Seventh Layer (13%)】

At this point, Li Muyang’s cultivation had nearly reached the top of the Outer Sect.

However, he kept a low profile. To outsiders, he still appeared to be at the Qi Refining Realm Third Layer.

Li Muyang had no interest in joining the Inner Sect.

He quite enjoyed life in the Outer Sect, secretly cultivating in this demon sect’s Outer Sect, which was definitely safer than entering the Inner Sect.

After all, the Outer Sect was full of small fry, while the Inner Sect was filled with Demonic Path big shots.

He planned to stay low in the Outer Sect until he reached the Foundation Establishment stage and then maybe look for an opportunity to leave the sect if it’s necessary.

On the other hand, his sister, Li Yuechan, was very interested in the upcoming sect selection.

She and Ning Wan’er had been gathering insider information these days, trying to find a way into the Inner Sect. And every evening, Li Yuechan still delivered dinner on time.

She had even added a new task to her routine: washing Li Muyang’s clothes.

The first thing the girl did after getting out of bed once she was healed was to hand-wash all of Li Muyang’s bed linens and clothes.

She continued to wash his clothes every few days despite Li Muyang’s protests.

The girl was so persistent that it made Li Muyang start to doubt himself, wondering if he smelled so bad that it bothered Li Yuechan. But he wasn’t lazy.

Washing clothes every few days was already considered diligent in the spartan living conditions of the Outer Sect.

Logically, he shouldn’t be repelling the girl with any odor…

“Say, brother, are you really not interested in the sect selection?”

At dusk, the girl who had arrived with a food container stood on the ridge of the field, looking puzzled at Li Muyang who was sleeping under a tree.

“Everyone is busy preparing for the sect selection, but you’re here sleeping every day… Don’t you want to join the Demonic Sect, become a big shot, and then return home in glory, making uncle and aunt regret underestimating you?”

The girl asked with confusion on her face.

Hearing this, Li Muyang’s face involuntarily heated up… Damn it!

Why bring up the original ‘Li Muyang’s’ most embarrassing past?

Although he hadn’t done that foolish act himself, with the memories he had, hearing his sister say this made him blush involuntarily.

He glared at his sister and said, “What’s meant to be yours won’t escape you, and what’s not, no amount of begging will make you obtain it. Why worry so much?”

He snatched the food container irritably and sniffed it.

“Hmm, today’s food smells good. You can go now.”

Li Muyang waved his hand and added, “I want braised pork tomorrow.”

Now, Li Muyang not only accepted his sister’s care without any guilt but even started to make requests and order dishes.

Besides playing games and farming every day, his sister washed his clothes, cooked his meals, and even cleaned inside and outside the house.

To outsiders, he had become a lazybones who just ate and waited for death.
