Starting As A Sect Leader: My Rules Are Bit Wild.

“Disciple understands.”

Seeing that Xiao Ling’er had taken everything to heart, Liang Danxia couldn’t help but show a slight smile.

“Fifth Elder, I wonder how many tribulations Senior Hongwu has undergone as a Loose Immortal?”

“I don’t know either.” Duan Qingyao shook her head. “He is too far away from us.”

“Teacher?” Xiao Ling’er turned to ask Liang Danxia.

Liang Danxia also indicated that she didn’t know. “Before the incident, I had been here, but the city lord was not him at that time. As for after the incident, my information is not reliable.”

“Oh~~~”

Xiao Ling’er was still a little curious, but she wouldn’t court death.

Soon, they queued to enter the city.

An existence above the sixth level of the fourth Cave Heaven realm was undoubtedly a great expert in the area outside the Million Mountains where the Embracing Moon Sect was located, considered a ‘top powerhouse’ among the locals.

But in this place, they were nothing more than ordinary.

Therefore, Duan Qingyao was also very cautious.

She was unwilling to have too much contact with anyone. After paying the city entry fee, she led Xiao Ling’er all the way to an inn.

Xiao Ling’er was also very cautious, covering her face with a veil to prevent her outstanding appearance from being seen by others.

After all, it was written clearly in the sect’s iron rules.

Article Forty-Eight: Any female disciple with outstanding looks, if she does not have absolute self-protection power, must not show her face when going out to avoid attracting unnecessary disasters.

Lin Fan’s idea for setting this rule was very clear.

——Beauty is a disaster.

Beauty, when played with any other card, was a winning hand, but when played alone, it was a ‘dead end’!

If he was a protagonist template, the beauties around him would not have to worry too much even if they showed their faces, after all, the protagonist’s most common operation was to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger.

Every time they arrived at a new map, the easiest enemies to provoke were also the dandy  playboy sons of rich families or immortal second generations whose brains were in their crotches.

They would often take a fancy to the protagonist template’s beautiful companion, and then either fail to show off and be beaten instead, or kidnap the beauty, but the result was that before they even had time to touch her, they were killed by the protagonist template who arrived in time.

This kind of plot was basically to give experience to the protagonist.

But he was not the protagonist!

The female disciples in the sect might not have protagonist templates either.

Moreover, there was a sect behind them. Even if they were protagonist templates, if they encountered this kind of thing, the protagonist template would most likely be fine. This was the law, but there was no law that their sect behind them would also be ‘invincible’!

Therefore, before having absolute strength, being cautious was always correct.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

Covering their faces and disguising themselves was also simple.

Under the constraints of the sect rules, Duan Qingyao and Xiao Ling’er were very low-key, so nothing happened along the way.

Duan Qingyao was not weak outside the city, and there were also rules within the city. Ordinary people did not dare to act recklessly.

So, as long as they were low-key, there wouldn’t be big problems.

In this way, they temporarily stayed in Hongwu Immortal City.

They usually cultivated in the inn or casually strolled around nearby, and they were safe and sound.

It was just obvious that Hongwu Immortal City was becoming more and more lively, and there were more and more people around.

“A mixed bag of people.”

“There are many desperadoes.”

Three days before the start of the competition, Duan Qingyao solemnly warned, “In the next few days, we must be more low-key and careful. Although ordinary people do not dare to act recklessly within the immortal city, there are always unusual existences.”

“There are also some desperadoes who do not care about these at all.”

“Yes, Fifth Elder, disciple understands.”

Seeing Xiao Ling’er’s face tense, Duan Qingyao smiled instead.

“But you don’t need to worry too much. As long as we remain low-key, there shouldn’t be any major problems. I heard that there is a night market nearby tonight, and many people will participate.”

“If you want, you can go and join the fun.”

“Although I told you to be low-key, it doesn’t mean I want you to stay indoors. Such night markets may have good things appear, and whether you can find a bargain depends on your personal luck.”

“That’s exactly what I was thinking.” Xiao Ling’er also smiled.

Liang Danxia also meant this.

Finding a bargain.

This kind of thing was said to be common, after all, there were often similar news reports, but to say it was uncommon was also true, because most people would not find a bargain in their lifetime, and even few people had seen it with their own eyes.

However, she was different.

With her teacher’s help, there should be some gains.

Being low-key was indeed necessary, but it didn’t mean that they shouldn’t even want opportunities or even dare to take a look.

Night fell.

A group of two… two and a half people, went to the night market in a low-key manner.

The night market was quite lively, with people from all over the world coming and displaying the items they had collected.

The things were also varied: pills, equipment, talismans, cultivation methods, secret techniques, strange objects… there was everything, and there were even some fragments that Xiao Ling’er couldn’t understand, which made people dazzled.

“Night markets are also called black markets.”

While strolling, Duan Qingyao explained in a low voice, “Many things in the night market cannot be seen in the light of day.”

“Therefore, good eyesight is very important.”

She did not hide anything and was imparting all her knowledge.

Although Xiao Ling’er had Liang Danxia by her side, even if Duan Qingyao didn’t teach her, Liang Danxia would, this behavior still made Xiao Ling’er very grateful and further felt the sincerity of the sect.

“Some things can be bought, but some things, although they are good and the prices are very cheap, may not be bought.”

“Why is this?”

Xiao Ling’er asked in confusion.

“Because they have improper origins.”

“Look at the flying sword over there, a high-grade spiritual weapon, very valuable. The market price is at least around ten thousand spirit stones, but the stall owner is only asking for five thousand, which is already half price.”

“But even so, there are not many onlookers or interested people, and most of them are young cultivators who want to buy but don’t have the money. Tell me, why is this?”

Xiao Ling’er suddenly understood: “Stolen goods?”

“That’s right, it’s mostly obtained by killing and robbing, and the original sword owner’s background is not weak. The sword is a good thing, but buying it is also a hot potato. Most likely, they will be found by the forces behind the original sword owner. As for the result…”

Duan Qingyao shook her head gently and did not say it clearly.

Anyone with common sense knew that the result would not be good.

“Disciple understands.”

“Ling’er, you are still young, and your talent and temperament are excellent. As long as you can grow up, your future is limitless, but the premise is that you can grow up. Therefore, you must be careful and cautious and not capsize in the gutter.”

Duan Qingyao solemnly warned.

“I have seen too many geniuses who died young.”

Liang Danxia: “I have seen even more, so I said that your Embracing Moon Sect’s rules are excellent.”

Xiao Ling’er’s face tightened as she listened.

After shopping for a long time.

Liang Danxia suddenly let out a soft “Huh.” “Those verdigris fragments over there, go and buy them.”

“Use the method I taught you before.”

“Is that some good thing?” Xiao Ling’er approached quietly.

“It should be a fragment of a heritage site.”

“If you can collect them all, you can get a heritage.”

Xiao Ling’er’s eyes flickered. She went to the stall, picked and chose, took a fancy to an ordinary-looking item, bargained for a while, pretended to hesitate, and finally, as if greedy for a small advantage, casually picked up the target fragment from the pile of fragments.

“That will be eighty spirit stones, and you have to give me this fragment as a gift.”

The stall owner took the fragment, observed it, but couldn’t see anything special about it. “Okay!”

With the item in hand, Xiao Ling’er remained calm and turned to leave after the transaction.

After walking away, Duan Qingyao smiled. “Not a bad method. Although it’s not experienced enough, it’s very rare for your age.”

“Fifth Elder, you saw it?”

“That fragment should be extraordinary, right?”

“It has to be fully collected to be of use.”

“Don’t worry, we didn’t spend any money anyway. We’ll collect them slowly. It’s not a loss even if we can’t collect them all.”

Seeing that Duan Qingyao had no intention of wanting it herself, the smile beneath Xiao Ling’er’s veil grew even wider.

Three days later.

The competition officially began.
