Ch-123: Conversation
"So, Wang Ming, how do you plan on accumulating so many points in such a short amount of ti?" Luo Li inquired, perched on Wang Ming's lap.
"Hmm, what do you an by 'such a short ti,' and why the need to gather nurous points?" Wang Ming asked, genuine confusion playing across his face.
"You ntioned your aspiration to beco an Inner Sect disciple, didn't you?" Luo Li's gaze held his as she spoke, and Wang Ming nodded in affirmation.
"Then you must be aware that the Inner Sect disciple exam is rely a month away," Luo Li stated matter-of-factly.
"Ah, my dear Luo Li, how was I to know? I've only just set foot in this sect," Wang Ming replied, a hint of exasperation lacing his tone.
"Well, you have a point," Luo Li conceded, a wry smile tugging at her lips, causing Wang Ming to roll his eyes in response
"Sister Luo Li seems to have her mind occupied with rather lustful thoughts. It's no wonder she might overlook such a straightforward matter," Shi Yu remarked, eliciting a rosy hue of embarrassnt from Luo Li's cheeks.
" Hmph, who was the one screaming, ' Oh yes, cum on my tits'" Luo Li mimicked Shi Yu causing her to avert her eyes, as she rembered how they had wakened after Wang Ming pounded them while they faced the wall and Dual Cultivated again before falling asleep
"Luo Li, how does the process of accumulating points tie into the participation in the exam?" Wang Ming interjected, redirecting their focus to the main topic.
"Well, accumulating points is a asure of the contributions you make to the sect. Only when you've garnered a certain number of points are you deed eligible to take the exam," Luo Li explained.
"How many points is he supposed to gather?" Bai Libgxi inquired.
"Hmm, considering he also has two partners, he needs to amass around 30,000 points. It's quite a challenging task, almost bordering on the impossible. Additionally, I'll later announce my partnership with him. Given that I'm already an Inner Sect disciple, he won't need to earn points for ," Luo Li elaborated.
'Hmm, I could potentially appeal to the sect master to waive the points requirent for . However, that might create discontent among the other disciples. Not that I care much about that. Plus, I'd miss out on practicing Dual Cultivation with female Outer Court disciples, since they're restricted from entering the Inner Court Region by the rules,' Wang Ming reflected silently.
"You know, if you had taken up that offer they extended back then, you might have spared yourself all this hassle," remarked Bai Lingxi, her tone dripping with a hint of 'I told you so.' Wang Ming's response was a nonchalant shrug, as if he couldn't be bothered.
"Does this whole situation bother you?" Wang Ming's voice held a casual air as he addressed Bai Lingxi's statent.
With an arched eyebrow, Luo Li interjected, "What offer are you guys talking about?"
Shi Yu couldn't help but chi in, "Oh, you're not in the loop?" A teasing smile played on his lips.
Puzzled, Shi Yu asked, "Not in the loop about what?"
"The offer Wang Ming got, to beco a Core disciple straight from the Sect Master himself. But guess what? He turned it down," Shi Yu revealed, causing Luo Li to gape at Wang Ming as if he were a rare mythical creature. Though, Wang Ming didn't mind being seen as unique – he was quite shaless about it, if truth be told.
"You declined an offer from the Sect Master?" Luo Li's disbelief was palpable as she stared at Wang Ming, her astonishnt evident.
Wang Ming's response was as casual as ever. "Eh, it wasn't that big of a deal."
Once Luo Li had composed herself, she rolled her eyes at Wang Ming's nonchalant deanor. "But seriously, why on earth would you turn down an offer like that?" Curiosity tinged her voice, making her question plain.
"Hmm, let
lay it out for you. You're aware that Outer Court disciples aren't exactly free to roam around the Inner Court disciples' territory, right?" Wang Ming began, seeking confirmation.
"Yeah, but where are you going with this?" Luo Li's curiosity was piqued.
"Well, think about it. If I went along with that offer, all those Outer Court disciples would be left high and dry when it cos to experiencing the true pleasures of Dual Cultivation with a skilled partner. I couldn't live with myself if I dodged that responsibility. And on top of that, I'd miss out on the chance to Cultivate with a myriad of beautiful won and, of course, hinder my own path to strength," Wang Ming's words flowed dramatically, a touch of seriousness underlying his tone
"........" Luo Li was motarily startled and had a blank look on her face as she was thinking sothing deeply
"Hmm, I have to admit, that does have so logic behind it. It would be a missed opportunity for them, not being able to engage in Dual Cultivation with your expertise," Luo Li mused after a brief silence, her tone contemplative.
"......." Wang Ming was left montarily speechless.
Wang Ming cast a dumbfounded gaze at Luo Li, utterly taken aback by her unexpected response.
"Why are you so unfazed by a response like that?" Bai Lingxi quizzed with genuine curiosity.
Luo Li's reply was matter-of-fact. "Well, it's Wang Ming," she stated in a deadpan manner, causing a virtual array of question marks to materialize above Wang Ming's head.
"Hmm, you're absolutely right. It does hold so validity," Shi Yu concurred with a nod of her head.
"True," Bai Lingxi chid in a wry smile on her lips. "I'm actually quite surprised at how swiftly you've adapted to his shaless antics. It took us a while, not to ntion you were away while we had the 'pleasure' of his company for a certain duration."
"..."Wang Ming, on the other hand, was left utterly speechless by the spectacle before him
