Senior Sister, I Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore

The Profound Disks were prepared according to the number of contestants in the trial.

However, when it came to the last person, Jiang Hong, one of the disks was missing.

"Did you miscount when you ordered it?"

"That's impossible. I checked it three times."

Faced with the questions from the other elders, Elder Bai Mei's tone was firm.

"Where is the missing Profound Disk?"

"This… I don't know either."

Elder Bai Mei immediately lost his confidence.

The atmosphere on stage instantly changed.

"What's going on on stage? What happened?"

The disciples participating in the trial below the stage sensed that something was wrong and carefully discussed in whispers.

Halfway through, Jiang Hong became the center of attention.

"I think there are not enough Profound Disks."

"This kid is too unlucky. He's already so unlucky in his first trial."

"Fortunately, I happened to be the first to receive it. Otherwise, I would be the one without a disk."

"Speaking of which, who is that kid? Why don't I have any impression of him? Is he a new disciple?"

"Indeed, his face looks familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. I think I've seen him somewhere before… Ah, isn't this the kid who was personally invited by Senior Sister Gu to seek the Dao yesterday?!"

As soon as this disciple spoke, it instantly caused an uproar in the crowd.

The surrounding disciples came over with excited expressions.

"What's going on? Why didn't I know about such an important matter?"

"Who exactly is he? Is he the illegitimate son of the Sect Master?"

"Wait, could he be the disciple from the Misty Peak that Senior Sister Gu personally requested to pick her up?"

"..."

The disciples spoke one after another. Everyone's faces were filled with envy, jealousy, and pure curiosity. He was actually favored by that senior sister. What kind of dogshit luck did he have?

Under everyone's urging, the disciple briefly explained what had happened yesterday in a concise manner.

After hearing this, the other disciples were envious but also puzzled.

"You're saying that Senior Sister rejected Shen Xingjian's invitation and chose him instead?"

"He even said that his talent is number one in the sect. Are you dreaming? Who would believe such words?"

"Moreover, the one in question is that disciple from the Misty Peak. Aren't you joking?"

It was true that the disciples did not know Jiang Hong.

However, they more or less knew about the strange master-disciple relationship of the Misty Peak.

It had been three years. It had not been easy for him to obtain the opportunity to cultivate and change his fate. In the end, he either escaped or plowed the ground every day. How could someone like him be the most talented in the sect? No one could believe it.

"B-but that's what happened… That's what Senior Sister Gu said." The disciple who was explaining felt wronged.

Just as he was about to defend himself, he suddenly pointed ahead. "Look, Senior Brother Shen is going over."

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the voice. As expected, Shen Xingjian came to Jiang Hong's side.

Shen Xingjian looked at Jiang Hong gloomily and smiled warmly.

"Looks like Junior Brother's situation here is a little unfavorable. Why don't you share it with me? I also want to understand what Senior Sister Gu taught you."

There really was such a thing?!

Hearing the words of one of them, no matter how unwilling the disciples were, they could only believe it.

Still.

"Why do I feel that Senior Sister Gu deliberately found a scapegoat to anger Senior Brother Shen?"

"I think so too. Senior Sister Gu must have done it on purpose. Anyone with a discerning eye would know about Shen Xingjian's reputation. If it were me, I would definitely reject him as well."

"Sigh, that kid is really pitiful. He has been targeted by Shen Xingjian. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this trial."

The disciples spoke one after another and shook their heads regretfully. They had all already determined Jiang Hong's end.

Jiang Hong naturally saw through Shen Xingjian's thoughts.

From the looks of it, that missing Profound Disk disappeared most likely because of this person in front of him, the son of the vice sect master.

As someone who had connections, it was extremely easy for him to pull some tricks.

As the saying goes, if someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend them. If someone offends me, they'll be punished no matter how far away they are. If they want to mess with me, heh, it's still uncertain who will be the one to be messed with in the end… Jiang Hong couldn't help but narrow his eyes. He was still worried about who he could use to test his Golden Core Realm physique. Since you're so generous, I won't be polite.

Jiang Hong grinned and replied, "Thank you, Senior Brother Shen. However, Senior Sister Gu didn't teach anything to me. I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint Senior Brother Shen."

Shen Xingjian laughed. "You don't have to be discouraged. After all, you're only in the early stages of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even if your talent is called number one, there must be a lot of things that are difficult to understand. Tell me and I might be able to help you."

Look at these words. It was a slap in the face for two people in a row.

Anyone could feel Shen Xingjian's hostility.

Other than the disciples who liked to join in the fun, most of the disciples were hiding far away, afraid that they would be implicated.

They could already imagine that missing Profound Disk would not be as unlucky as him in the trial.

Shen Xingjian was also very excited.

He had tricked him so easily. He had thought that Gu Yiping would come out to protect her calf, which would have made everything a little troublesome. Now, it seemed that he had been overthinking.

"I'll deal with that bitch after I deal with this kid."

Shen Xingjian smiled to himself. Just as he was about to tell the elders on the stage who were looking for the missing Profound Disk to start the trial.

"Junior Brother Jiang, please use my Profound Disk."

Accompanied by a familiar yet unfamiliar voice, the woman's unique light voice rang out. With Shen Xingjian as the leader, the hearts of many disciples immediately skipped a beat.

They subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

A beautiful figure walked steadily with lotuses blooming with every step, becoming clearer and clearer.

The young girl was dressed in a pure white dress. Her black hair fell like a waterfall, and her figure was slender like a fairy who had walked out of a landscape painting. She was fluttering like an immortal. A gentle wind blew past, and the thousands of strands of black hair that reached her waist fluttered in the wind.

The mole under her right eye was eye-catching. Although the woman's expression was elegant and the aura she gave off was distant, even so, peo\ple who saw her could not take their eyes off her.

"Take it. It's a little old, but it's fully functional."

Gu Yiping welcomed everyone's gaze and came before Jiang Hong. She personally handed the Profound Disk in her hand to him.

Then, she turned around and said to the elders.

"Elders, you may begin."

With that, she returned to the stage.

The entire set of movements flowed like water, as if he had just done something very ordinary.

However, this matter was a heavy blow to every disciple present.

"How could this be? Wasn't Senior Sister Gu just messing with him?"

"Why can't I be the first one to use the Profound Disk that Senior Sister Gu used before? I want to use it too."

"Shh, lower your voices. Don't you see Shen Xingjian's face?"

With that disciple's reminder, the crowd finally noticed how ugly Shen Xingjian's purple face was.

Previously, they thought that Jiang Hong's trial this time was just a little troublesome. But after this wave, he might even die in the sect trial.

However, being able to use the Profound Disk that their senior sister had once used really made them envious.

Jiang Hong must be secretly laughing.

Under the envious and jealous gazes of the disciples, Elder Bai Mei also announced the start of the trial.

"Then the trial officially begins."

"Wait a minute."

His voice was loud and clear, but Jiang Hong raised his hand to stop him.

Under everyone's puzzled gazes,

Jiang Hong walked up to the stage and stood in front of Gu Yiping.

Then.

"Thank you for your care, Eldest Senior Sister, but I can't take this Profound Disk. I want to rely on my own efforts."
