(MC POV)
Things mostly went back to normal after Elder Qing formally took up the Sect Master's role.
??
The girls reported to that they mostly spent their free ti in self ditation while I was dealing with that fiasco, how diligent of them.
I made sure to remind them to go out and have fun sotis, it wouldn't do if they ended up like the past who only knew how to cultivate and not live life.
In fact, since they were making such great strides in their training, I decided to give them another week off, telling them to spend so ti in Jin city to do so shopping or just to relax.
Though they seed reluctant to do so, they finally left after so insistence.
This arrangent suited just fine since this would be the ti when the Minor Sects are sending their supposed talented students to various Grand Sects to further their studies. The amount of support these Minor Sects receive from the Grand Sects would depend on the quality of the 'talented' students they sent.
If a Minor Sect shows that the students they nurture are of enviable quality, Grand Sects would support them with various resources to continue their teachings. But if their students are lacking, the Grand Sects that were sponsoring them might just choose to cut off support for them and leave them in the dust.
Elder Qing had the great idea that I should use my current younger body to our advantage by sneaking into one of such 'talented' groups. Without them knowing about my identity, I would be able to better weed out the bad influences from the real talents.
We all know that it's an established fact that those young masters with so bit of talent beco really arrogant and start bullying their peers, causing those who possess more talent than them to have an obstacle on their road to becoming stronger.
Do you know how annoying that is to us?
I an sure, to others it might look like the Sect was supporting those arrogant young masters by doing nothing for the 'weak', talented ones and letting the bully continue. Sotis this is true since those young masters might be a certain Elder's great grandson or granddaughter so they hide this fact from everyone else.
But here, we want as many Practitioners to grow strong as possible. A Sect's strength cos from the combined strength of their mbers after all. To intentionally put down one or two disciples for preferential treatnt for another is quite frowned upon.
And if other Sects catch wind that a certain Sect mistreats their disciples, Minor Sects would refrain from sending their students to that Sect and the Major Sects would also distance themselves from them.
So no, you wouldn't see the arrogant young master mistreating the potentially OP MC here.
Usually…
There might still be so problematic newcors so the possibility is still there, that's why it's up to us to weed them out. There's always the black sheep after all, coupled with the fact that so humans are just trashy as hell and get off on the smallest power trips.
And since so of them have begun getting smarter by acting nice in front of the ntors before showing a completely different side after their backs are turned, the problem of discrimination and bullying has yet to be completely stamped out.
Originally I didn't want to do it. This was supposed to be my vacation ti, damnit! I want to lay in my bed and sleep all day, waking up only to eat snacks before sleeping again!
I did my part for society already! I want to slack!
Of course, I couldn't say that out loud as my excuse.
But when I went back to think about it, it's not really a bad deal. I can just go to so Elder's class, pretend to learn from him, play along with my fellow 'new students' and not even worry about howork and training since I already knew everything.
Hey, I could even be the 'genius nobody' to bait out the arrogant young masters easily and get them out of the way quickly! If there really are a few, that is.
Oh wait, isn't this the standard set up for the start of an OP MC's school arc? It totally is, isn't it? Maybe I'll et an OP MC within that group?
And if you're thinking that it's weird to have a school arc right now… All I can say is the chronological order for my life is pretty ssed up.
So in the end, I accepted their proposition to infiltrate into our newest 'talented' group of student Practitioners.
So here I am, sitting in my pavilion located within my courtyard with Elder Qing… No, Sect Master Qing sitting opposite .
Sect Master Qing was in the midst of pouring so tea for while I munched on so peaches with my feet propped on the chair beside . Sounds of construction were going on in the background which I ignored.
"Master Lin, we received five new applicants this year from four different Minor Sects. They told us they were the best talents that they had nurtured."
"Umu…" I nodded, still munching on a peach.
"Does Master Lin have any preference for which Elder to ntor your group? Is there anything you wish to tell the Elder that will be in charge? Maybe a change in teaching style?"
"Not at all."
"Ah, also… We received so new Requests from the Adventurer's Guild in Jin city. Could you take a look to see if they are appropriate for us?"
"Umu… I'll take a look at it later."
"Master Lin, there's also…"
Seriously man, aren't I just the advisor? Why the hell are you asking for all this?! Having the Sect Master pour tea and report to his advisor in their courtyard is just weird no matter which angle you look at, right?!
Even when I pointed it out to him, he just claims that the Sect was imposing on so it makes sense that he, as the Sect Master, would be so accommodating to . And of course since he was new to the role, it made sense for him to consult with these new responsibilities.
No, it doesn't make sense.
I've never been a Sect Master either, you know?!
I even had to reject their attempts at moving to the Sect Master's courtyard three tis today. In fact, why is Sect Master Qing not living there in the first place?
Why is he still staying in his old courtyard?
When I finally got the point across that I was not going to move from my current courtyard no matter what they did, I had to stop them from trying to expand my courtyard beyond its current size afterwards.
They claid that as an assistant of the Sect Master, I should at least have a courtyard fitting enough of my station.
Unfortunately for , this was sothing that they were unwilling to back down on no matter what, claiming it was a matter of Sect pride or whatever it was.
I was still going to resist the changes until they pointed out that they will improve my disciples' living conditions with the expansion.
That was when I gave up and decided to go through with it.
That's why I'm sitting here in the pavilion right now while the workers were expanding my courtyard in the background. Of course, let's not forget our new Sect Master personally coming here just to serve tea and report to for so reason.
"Oh, Master Lin, there's also so new things we want to implent around the Sect, could you just take a look at these docunts?"
No seriously… There's sothing wrong with this scene isn't there?
Oh screw it, I just need to concentrate on joining in on that new student group and slack during that ti.
Yep, that's going to be my vacation and no one can stop from relaxing!
