The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 26 - The Protagonist Was Tempted



Wang Shouren originally planned to let Feng Yu Die live in his cave house for the seven days of the examination.

After all, the Matriarch also asked him to take care of her.

Moreover, not even a dog would want to live in such an environment where fifty people lived together. Some of them snore or have smelly feet, making it difficult to sleep in a stinky room.

However, since Mr. Qi asked him to prepare a good place for them to live in, Wang Shouren immediately found the solution and led the two girls to the inner disciple residence.

That was a spiritual land located on the slope of the Black Star Sect's Heavenly Cloud Peak mountain. There were ten newly built courtyard houses on this land, surrounded by an abundance of old medicinal plants, beautiful scenery, and plenty of spiritual energy. However, it seemed that these houses had not yet been completed, and many craftsmen from the Black Star Sect were rushing to finish them.

These dwellings were for those disciples who would pass the selection, but only the top ten could move in. Most disciples were sent to live on other mountain peaks, with four to six people usually living in the same room.

The compound was equipped with a first-class alchemy furnace for concocting pills and a special field for cultivating spiritual plants. The soil in the spiritual field was enchanted and was enough to meet most of the daily needs of a cultivator in the Foundation Building stage.

After Wang Shouren brought them there on his flying sword, he said, "Feng Yu Die, you can choose any of the ten rooms here to live in until you reach the late stage of the Foundation Building. After that, the sect will allocate you a piece of land, and you can set up your own cave house."

"One room..."

Slightly dazed, Feng Yu Die looked at Pei Lianxue and hid a smile. Did that mean that she could live in the same room with her for a long time from now on?

Wake up together, eat together, practice together every day...

If Sister Pei was tired from sword practice, she would massage her shoulders.

If Sister Pei wanted to take a bath, she would rub her back...

"Eh he he... he he..."

Pei Lianxue glanced at her like looking at a fool, then asked, "Elder Wang, as a companion, will I also live here?"

"As long as Feng Yu Die is willing, you can stay here with her. There is also accommodation over at Moon Spring Peak specially prepared for the companions..."

"I am willing!" Feng Yu Die quickly interrupted. "Sister Pei, you will live with me from now on, and we will sleep together, practice together, and eat delicious food together. How cool is that?"

"..."

Pei Lianxue took a step away from her with a disgusted look. For a month and a half, this woman tried every means to curry favor with her, even barking like a dog when they climbed up the mountain.

She thought Feng Yu Die must be doing this to get closer to her brother. After all, brother was fond of her as his sister, and if Feng Yu Die wanted him to marry her, then she had to be on her good side.

At this time...

"Elder Wang?"

Not far away, a woman practicing her sword routine saw them, put her sword aside, and approached, greeting Wang Shouren.

She was about the same age as Pei Lianxue and the others, with purple hair and golden eyes, four ponytails in front and back, and her clothes looked expensive.

She sized up Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue and asked, "Elder Wang, why did you bring them here?"

"Ah..." Wang Shouren was embarrassed for a moment; after all, he brought Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die to live here because he caused them some trouble, so he simply said, "It was Mr. Qi who asked me to find a better place for these two girls."

"Mr. Qi said that?" The woman frowned and said gravely, "But this is against the entry rules. Only the top ten candidates can move in here."

"Well... these two will definitely be in the top ten." Wang Shouren paused before adding, "The old man just wanted them to live here in advance. After all, you know the conditions of those bunkhouses."

The girl didn't seem to agree and retorted with a frown. "The sword and physical exams haven't even started yet. How can you conclude that they will pass the selection?"

Although the girl was about the same age as Feng Yu Die, her imposing manner was so overbearing that Wang Shouren didn't know what to say for a while.

"Well..."

"Elder Wang, are they from a big family? Did they give you a gift?" The girl stared into Wang Shouren's eyes and said, "The Black Star selection is held once every five years, you should know the rules. Accepting bribes is an unhealthy practice. If the elders find out, you will be severely punished..."

Wang Shouren sighed and looked at Feng Yu Die and Pei Liangxue behind him, then leaned forward to whisper, "Miss, actually it's not only Mr. Qi, but the Matriarch also asked me to take care of them."

"Mother also asked you to take care of them..." Stunned, the girl looked at Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue again, frowned in confusion, and asked, "Why?"

"Well... About this matter, young lady, it's better to ask the Matriarch herself."

"..."

The girl bit her lip, apparently very displeased, but said nothing else. After glaring at Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue, she turned her head and headed to one of the houses.

After she left, Feng Yu Die came forward and asked, "Elder Wang, who is she? She looks so pretty."

"Pretty..." Wang Shouren was stunned momentarily, then replied, "Her name is Xiao Yunluo, and she is the young lady of the Black Star Sect. Since you two are the same generation of disciples, you can just call her Sister Xiao."

Feng Yu Die nodded as she glanced at Xiao Yunluo's house, but after a moment, she quickly looked away, walked back to Pei Lianxue with a smile, and winked at her.

"Sister Pei, she is not as beautiful as you."

Pei Lianxue was at a loss. "I don't care. Why are you pointing this out?"

"Don't care~ Just don't care! Huh---" Feng Yu Die breathed out lightly, and smirked again, "Hehe~hehe..."

Wang Shouren regained his composure and led them forward as he explained the situation. "I will tell you some basic matters. Each courtyard is equipped with a high-grade alchemy furnace. Usually..."

...

After settling them down, Wang Shouren returned to the Academy where he meditated and rested in the Lotus position for a while. At sunset, after the written test was over, Qi Baishi called him over to help him revise and grade the answers.

But while they were supposed to correct the papers together, he actually ended up grading all of the nearly 10,000 test papers by himself.

Qi Baishi only selected a small part of the test papers he was interested in grading.

He graded Feng Yu Die's test paper with 95 points, deducting five points because of her ugly handwriting. As for Pei Lianxue, she got a perfect score.

Although Wang Shouren had anticipated that the two would have high grades, the perfect score was completely beyond his expectation.

Previously, no one had ever achieved a perfect score in the Black Star selection tests. After all, this essay didn't have a standard answer like astrology or arithmetic. How many points you could get depended partly on the examiner's mood.

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Shouren could not hold back and tried to advise. "Mr. Qi, is it really okay to give the maximum grade? This answer is really indisputable, but there is no need to give the top score. Just deduct a few points."

Qi Baishi put down the paper he held, glanced at him, and said, "Hmph! This is how I evaluated the test. If anyone has objections, they can come to me in person."
