Offending a Female Student

When faced with Zhou Yun's question, a look of disdain appeared on their faces. They were too lazy to answer him.

They were cultivators at the fourth or the fifth layer of Qi cultivation.

Naturally, the outer sect disciple assessment posed no difficulty to them at all.

As for Zhou Yun, he had not made any progress even after cultivating for a year.

He was destined to be expelled from the sect.

They were not from the same world, so they naturally did not want to answer Zhou Yun's question.

Qin Xiu observed their expressions and felt very satisfied.

In the past, Zhou Yun had attracted the attention of the female students in class because of his handsome face and extraordinary temperament.

On top of that, he was the most hardworking student in his batch.

Even the instructor at the time praised him repeatedly.

At that time, he had also been overshadowed by Zhou Yun.

Whenever Qin Xiu recalled this, the fire of jealousy in his heart immediately flared out.

Now, when he saw Zhou Yun, who was still worried about the outer sect disciple assessment, he couldn't help but feel a burst of pleasure!

He couldn't hide the gloating in his heart.

It was really difficult for other people to take Zhou Yun seriously.

Even Jiang Qian, the only female student among them, had a complicated expression on her face when she saw Zhou Yun.

She was still attracted to him when she saw his face.

However, she quickly regained her senses and no longer stared at him in a daze.

They were destined to be people from two different worlds.

It was impossible for them to interact anymore.

Zhou Yun's temperament was indisputable.

In the past, all the female students, including herself, had secretly developed feelings for him.

They fantasized about becoming cultivation companions with Zhou Yun in the future.

However, the current Zhou Yun had long lost his charm due to reality.

Even though his face was still as attractive as ever, he was no longer as eye-catching as before.

No matter how brilliant Zhou Yun had been, he could not withstand the test of time.

Cultivation was all about talent, not just tenacity.

It certainly did not depend on his good looks.

"Old classmate, there's less than a month before the outer sect disciple assessment . How's your cultivation progressing?"

Qin Xiu revealed a look of concern as he popped the question, as though he really cared for Zhou Yun.

Upon hearing Qin Xiu's words, Zhou Yun immediately understood the purpose of their visit.

They were here to mock him and make fun of him.

Perhaps it was because he had been in the limelight last year, which made his old classmates jealous.

In the past year, he had been stuck at the first layer of Qi cultivation because his training had not been progressing smoothly.

There were often people who came over to laugh at him.

He was already used to it.

Now that Spirit Valley had decided to lay off some cultivators, his old classmates would naturally come over to laugh at him.

In their eyes, he would be expelled from the sect next month and become a mortal.

If they didn't come and mock him now, they might not have the chance to do so again.

If it was any other time, Zhou Yun might have entertained them. However, he was currently worried about the matter of cultivation resources and did not have the time to talk nonsense with them.

He said, "My cultivation is progressing well. You don't need to worry about me. If there's nothing else, please be on your way!"

After hearing Zhou Yun's words, Qin Xiu's lackeys immediately lashed out in anger.

"We're just concerned about you. What's with your attitude?"

"The sect will be laying off some cultivators after this assessment. Aren't you worried?"

In their eyes, Zhou Yun did not know what was good for him.

Qin Xiu was an inner sect disciple.

Moreover, he had reached the great perfection of Qi cultivation.

Zhou Yun was a nobody at the first layer of Qi cultivation, and he was about to be expelled from the sect.

People like him were not even qualified to talk to inner sect disciples.

Qin Xiu was speaking to him as his old classmate and he actually talked to Qin Xiu with such a tone?

If any other cultivator at the first layer of Qi cultivation dared to speak to experts at the great perfection of Qi cultivation like this, they would probably be killed with a single palm strike!

They condemned Zhou Yun.

Looking at his lackeys desperately licking his boots, Qin Xiu smiled in satisfaction and continued, "I heard that the sect will lay off some cultivators after the assessment. Are you confident that you will not be expelled?"

Seeing that Zhou Yun didn't respond, Qin Xiu quickly added, "If you really can't pass the assessment, you can come over to my side. I'll arrange a cleaning job for you. It's easy and comfortable, and you don't have to take the assessment. How about it?"

Qin Xiu's expression of concern was very on point. If one didn't catch his mocking tone, they would really think that he was looking out for Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun lamented internally, "Does he have to go to such ends to prove his existence? In any case, he's an expert who's about to reach the foundation establishment stage, and this is all there is to him?"

Zhou Yun didn't say anything, but he was secretly looking down on Qin Xiu in disdain.

As soon as Qin Xiu finished speaking, the others quickly echoed.

"That's right, Zhou Yun. Qin Xiu is an inner sect disciple. If you follow him, you won't have to take the assessment!"

"Yeah, you're just going over to Qin Xiu's place to avoid the assessment. Qin Xiu won't actually make you do the cleaning."

"Of course. Besides, there's nothing much to clean in our sect."

"If you follow Qin Xiu, you might even be able to improve your own cultivation stage!"

"Others don't even have the opportunity to be the servants of an inner sect disciple!"

Zhou Yun was speechless as he looked at the few people who were chattering.

The helplessness he felt could not be greater.

This was the first time he had seen someone so persistent in mocking him.

He wondered how big a grudge they had against him.

Seeing that Zhou Yun was silent, the discussion became even more lively. One of them even gestured profusely as he spoke.

They had already planned out Zhou Yun's entire life.

If a passerby saw this, they would think that a lunatic had escaped from an asylum.

Zhou Yun picked up the teacup and took a sip. He was speechless as he looked at the people who were trying hard to persuade him to accept Qin Xiu's offer.

He remained unmoved.

The lackeys also felt a little embarrassed.

They had been trying so hard to persuade him, yet he was still drinking tea?

Wasn't he worried that he would be kicked out of the sect because he didn't pass the assessment?

Did he not know the consequences of leaving the sect?

Didn't he know how the great forces that relied on the spiritual spring disappeared?

After immortals left the land of spiritual Qi, their cultivation stages would decline.

Zhou Yun seemed ungrateful to them.

They had clearly given him a chance, but he did not cherish it.

Was it worth it just for a moment's face?

In their opinion, Zhou Yun was just being stubborn.

Qin Xiu pretended to sigh in pity.

The others felt the urge to mock him more.

Just then, Jiang Qian couldn't help but say, "We're all in the same cohort. We don't want to see you being driven out of the sect. Isn't it better to clean up for your senior brother than to be driven out?"

She looked at the person she used to love deeply and felt a little resentful that he had not lived up to her expectations.

"Zhou Yun, think carefully."

Jiang Qian, who had been silently standing at the side, felt compelled to speak up.

Zhou Yun turned to look at her.

He stared at Jiang Qian for a long time until her cheeks turned red. Then, he turned his head away.

He thought to himself, "I don't recall offending any female students, have I?"
