Although Xie Qing was already preparing to start explaining that he was not to blame, that the world was to blame, and so on, Lian Lin did not react at all to their strange pose and got off him.

"I overslept, it seems. Well, sit down somewhere where there is no trash, I'll change clothes first," her listless voice was heard.

"All right..."

Xie Qing's face took on a strange expression. He could not understand what was happening but decided to ignore this situation as well.

"It seems she doesn't care. As expected of the sect leader!" Xie Qing admired her cold-bloodedness.

However, he did not notice the very faint, but still redness on the tips of Lian Lin's ears.

"Here, younger brother. Do you drink tea?" Lian Lin asked, placing a cup of tea in front of Xie Qing. Then she added: "By the way, I am also a disciple of Xu Mei, so... I am your older sister. In personal meetings, you can call me that, in front of people I am the 'sect leader', okay?"

"Understood, older sister," Xie Qing nodded seriously.

"Hm-hm-hm... that sounds nice," Lian Lin purred with barely noticeable activity in her voice.

She changed into her sect leader uniform and looked much more majestic than before, if not for her listless behavior. She looked as if she was ready to fall asleep at any second.

Xie Qing expected that the sect leader would be incredibly powerful and authoritative but in the end...

"I was ready to immerse myself in the tiger's den, but instead, I ran into a tree with a sloth," he thought with a strange expression on his face.

Nevertheless, it was even easier for him. Considering her relaxed character, Xie Qing wouldn't have to worry about being too careful not to mess up, as from the point of view of relationships, they were close, if one considers that for disciples, the Master is like a father or mother, that is, logically, they are brother and sister.

"Stop, if for me the Master is the mother, then I... well, let's not talk about it."

Xie Qing chose to simply forget about it and not think too carefully. Who cares, anyway? The main thing is that they were comfortable.

Nevertheless, Xie Qing still had to behave modestly. Since Lian Lin was his older sister, he had to behave accordingly.

"In short, I called you for this... Master strictly ordered to give you a chance in the Ancestral Cave.

It's a place where you can get a lot of good stuff, and I even got a cool sword technique, which unfortunately can't be circulated within the sect because it's too powerful," Lian Lin began to explain, and gradually her voice became more cheerful, showing that she was beginning to wake up: "In fact, there were many voices 'against' it, since you have never shown impressive achievements, and judging only by your cultivation level would be somewhat foolish...

if not for the fact that you achieved it in such a short time. But this is confidential information."

"Confidential?"

"Yes, in short, only you, Master, Lian Xin, and... "Lian Lin pointed to herself, propping up her chin with her other hand: "Me. In short, you are protected. This had to be done to protect you from annoying people who think they can control the lives of geniuses."

"I understand..."

Xie Qing nodded. He understood that his existence as a whole could change the world, and most likely, he would even be the leader of the era.

There would be many bonuses, but also many minuses. Facing the envy of so many people would be very dangerous, and in such a situation, the price for his head on the black market would grow, and those who wanted to kill the still-unripe sprout could fill the entire continent.

Moreover, a separate topic of mention would be the Dynasty. Although it presented itself as a neutral force, it was impossible to count on the fingers of one hand how many geniuses they had killed because they posed a threat.

Most likely, if Xie Qing did not agree to make concessions or cooperate with them, he would face the same fate. But the difference was that Xu Mei was behind him, and would not let him die.

In general, Lian Lin summarized for him what had been discussed at the meeting, and in the end, expressed her opinion.

"I also agree with giving you a place in the Ancestral Cave. Although your power is not yet very impressive, you possess potential and are an uncut diamond," Lian Lin said, finally restoring her authoritative aura as the sect leader. She looked at Xie Qing with all seriousness: "Younger brother, you need to be careful in your actions.

Moreover, when that day comes, I hope that you will remain a disciple of this sect, or maybe even an elder."

"..."

Xie Qing fell silent. This question required serious thought, and he could not answer "All right," as these words determined his future. The Heavenly Sword Sect was the best place for development, moreover, he was familiar with this place.

However, some many other sects and organizations were ready to snatch him away, offering better conditions.

When it comes to perfection, one must think about the benefits, not about personal relationships. Only this way can one become a great cultivator.

"Heh..."

Lian Lin smiled, seeing that Xie Qing did not give her a direct answer, but was not particularly surprised. Geniuses were always in demand, and it was impossible to keep them in one place. She did not hope that Xie Qing would want to stay here just because of Xu Mei.

Therefore, she was ready to offer him favorable conditions.

"The sect is ready to provide you with any help. Do you need money? No problem. Do you need resources? No problem. Do you need women?

No problem. Do you need power? No problem," Lian Lin listed one by one, and then added: "Of course, there will be some restrictions on you, but basically, you are free."

"Older sister, you are insightful in such matters," Xie Qing said with a smile, and then finally gave an answer: "All right, I agree."

"Excellent."

Lian Lin finally smiled. She was pleased with her younger brother and could not help but praise Xu Mei for such foresight.

"Master found the greatest talent. The Heavenly Sword Sect will surge forward!" Lian Lin celebrated in her soul and then thought: "But then there will be more work. But until then, I will pass my status as sect leader to someone else."

Dumping the work on someone else... how cunning... I mean, noble! The signature of Xu Mei is immediately felt!

***

"Hm..."

Xu Mei let out a satisfied grunt, seeing that Xie Qing answered as she wanted. She also understood that it was impossible to keep this man in one place. She was very pleased.

"Xu Mei," Zhang Mei's voice sounded, still without emotions.

"What?" Xu Mei replied without turning around.

"You are squeezing the chair too hard. It will break now," Zhang Mei reported.

"..."

Crack!

"Eh..."

Zhang Mei sighed pityingly. She felt sorry for the chair, from which the armrest had broken off. Xu Mei had been watching them from the beginning, and now she was enraged.

"Lian Lin! Oh, you little cunning girl! Because of her stupid habit of hugging something while sleeping, they got into such an awkward situation!" Xu Mei thought. She was jealous!

Although she was glad that Xie Qing stayed in the sect, she was very jealous! But she was glad! But she was jealous!

...In short, her emotions were unstable.

***

Xie Qing felt a chill run down his spine. He looked around, but could not understand the reason for such a feeling.

"I just felt as if I had avoided death. Hmm... I must have imagined it."

He shrugged and entered the Trade Pavilion. Here was a store where disciples could exchange their Contribution Points for something useful. In Xie Qing's case, he needed to exchange Contribution Points for pills that would help him in cultivation.

"I would like ten bottles of 'Qi Condensation' pills..." Xie Qing told the seller his order.

"All right, just a moment..." the disciple replied and moved away from the counter. He rummaged in the box took out ten bottles and put them on the table: "That will be 3000 Contribution Points."

"All right..."

Xie Qing's heart was bleeding. He clenched his teeth handed over his silver token paid, and then grabbed the bottles of pills as if afraid someone would steal them.

What money is to the rich, life is to the poor! And at the moment, Xie Qing was poor!

Instead of returning to the pavilion where he lived, Xie Qing decided to try the special cave where the concentration of Qi was at its peak.

Each disciple of the inner court could try this service once a year. Since Xie Qing had nothing to lose, he decided to take advantage of it.

After five minutes of walking, he finally reached the place. This place was at the very edge of the inner court, and the entrance was into a cave.

Entering inside, there he was met by a door, at which an elder was sitting and playing cards with another elder. Noticing Xie Qing, they did not even bother to stand up and only pointed with their chins to the door, where there was a recess just for his disciple token.

Since the elders did not bother to greet him, Xie Qing also limited himself to a polite nod. Inserting the disciple token into the recess, the door trembled and opened, and information appeared on the token.

[Immortal Cave Annual Quota: 0]

Without hesitation, Xie Qing went inside, and the door closed behind him. The two elders exchanged glances and then continued playing.

The door was supposed to open by itself in a day, so they had nothing to worry about. They were standing here just in case, to make sure that everything worked properly.

And so...

Entering inside, Xie Qing looked around. This was a narrow place of five square meters, where there were only stone walls. It seemed like an ordinary cave, but the concentration of Qi here was even higher than in the pavilion.

"With this, I will be able to break through another stage!" Xie Qing was pleased.
