Chapter 544 Inner Sect Assessment
Lin Ping never believed that these outer disciples were the ones who wanted to start a war with the imperial court; they were all kind, innocent, and kept in the dark.
When it really came down to confronting the imperial court, they had to do everything in their power to save their lives.
"If one day we were to become enemies, would you lay a hand on me?" Lin Ping asked seriously.
“Brother Lin Ping, it turns out you’re even more nervous than I am, and you’re starting to overthink things. We’re good brothers, how could we possibly become enemies? Even if we’re not on the same peak in the future, it won’t come to a life-or-death situation,” Shui Peng comforted him.
Shui Peng was more worried about Lin Ping's condition than about tomorrow's assessment.
Does a man really lose his confidence without that thing?
No, we need to help him regain his confidence.
"You still haven't answered me!" Lin Ping said seriously.
“I know you’re not an ordinary locksmith. Although I can’t confirm your identity, I know you’re kind-hearted. Even if we were to fight, it would be out of necessity. Why would I lay a hand on you?” Shui Peng also became serious.
This is the promise Lin Ping wanted.
He doesn't need Shui Peng to be a major help; he just needs to make sure it doesn't interfere with his destruction of the Lotus Palace.
After their conversation, both of them felt much more relaxed.
"Brother Lin Ping, do you think tomorrow's assessment will be as perfect as tonight's moon?"
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
Will we be able to get into Feihong Peak smoothly?
"Hoo~ho~ho~"
"This guy is really carefree. He doesn't even care about losing his manhood. There's one thing I lied to you about: my seventh maternal uncle's third niece's only son wasn't cut off. He's right here with you."
Shui Peng finally spoke the words he had been holding back for so long. For him, speaking was really painful; he had to reveal the truth every minute.
"I wish he would be cut off," Lin Ping, lying on the ground, muttered to himself as if in a daze.
In his sleep, Lin Ping's mind was filled with images of Jiang Yunying, the kind who wasn't wearing clothes.
"My wife, I'm here." Lin Ping kept muttering to himself, and the ground beneath him was so wet with thick saliva that it almost formed a small stream.
Shui Peng eventually carried him inside, only to be met with Lin Ping's frantic kisses and caresses.
His saliva was all over her clothes, which scared Shui Peng so much that she ran away as fast as she could.
"Brother Lin Ping, you can't do this! I'm not ready yet!"
After stopping, Shui Peng muttered to himself, panting, his ears burning.
"How did I end up in bed?" Lin Ping felt a little panicked after waking up. He clearly remembered sleeping on the floor.
"It was Shui Peng who carried you back, and you kept kissing him." Jiang Mo answered Lin Ping's question with a look of disgust.
"You weren't really cut off, were you? Otherwise, how could you like men? I must tell Sister Hongling about this so she can give up on you."
It must be said that Jiang Mo's language skills are quite good; his description just now was very vivid, making Lin Ping feel nauseous.
After rinsing his mouth for a quarter of an hour, Lin Ping finally felt a little refreshed, but he was too embarrassed to face the water.
That morning, the outer sect became lively as a large number of inner sect disciples crossed the floating bridge.
Lotus Palace organizes an assessment every year, which is quite grand in scale, with at least the people from the three peaks and the Law Enforcement Hall appearing.
Occasionally, a peak master will appear, but it's purely for show.
Even if an outer disciple passes the assessment, they will not become their disciple; at most, they will become a disciple of a martial arts master, a generation younger than the peak master's disciple.
This is why Lin Ping calls Jiang Yunying "Shigu" (a term of respect for a senior female disciple), though she might become "Shijie" (another term of respect for a senior female disciple) after today.
The recent surge in the number of outer disciples has already expanded the sect's scale, and the appearance of the peak master is truly inspiring.
"The peak masters of Beidou Peak and Feihong Peak have actually come!"
Although the outer disciples disliked the peak master of Beidou Peak, his appearance demonstrated the importance Lotus Palace placed on the outer disciples.
That's something to be excited about.
"Look, Jiang Yunying, the top disciple of Hanyu Peak, has also come. Could it be that Hanyue Peak is also recruiting new disciples?"
Suddenly someone screamed loudly, even more exaggeratedly than when the Peak Master appeared.
Jiang Yunying's identity is extraordinary; she has never appeared at this event before, which is likely a hint.
"If I could go to Hanyue Peak and see her every day, it would be worth dying for."
Almost everyone's attention was drawn to Jiang Yunying. She was like a fairy descended to earth, a lotus emerging from the water, a beautiful sight wherever she went.
Inside the Lotus Palace, Jiang Yunying is an adjective, meaning beautiful.
Some male disciples often use phrases like "You look just like Jiang Yunying..." to praise female disciples.
Thinking about the benefits of entering Cold Moon Peak, everyone was eager to get started.
"I think we should forget about it. Cold Moon Peak has very high standards for recruiting disciples. If we insist on doing this, we might not even be able to enter the inner sect."
Finally, someone who understood the situation spoke up.
Seeing a fairy like Jiang Yunying once in a lifetime is enough; seeing her every day is just a beautiful wish.
Life should be lived one step at a time, and the most important goal right now is to enter the inner gate.
"My wife is even more beautiful!" Although they were far apart, Lin Ping had activated the functions of his left and right eyes and could clearly see Jiang Yunying's every smile and frown.
Jiang Yunying noticed the lewd gaze and actually pouted and frowned.
"This husband is really toxic. Every time I'm in front of him, it's like I'm naked."
Jiang Yunying was speechless. Although she didn't know Lin Ping had this ability, she felt like she was being spied on, and images of herself without clothes would appear in her mind.
She felt very awkward having tens of thousands of people in front of her.
"I couldn't help myself again." Lin Ping slapped his right eye and quickly turned off the function.
His wife is his own, and she's not going anywhere, so there's no need to peek at her now. He can look at her openly when it's late at night, and Jiang Yunying won't object.
His main purpose was to check the wound on Jiang Yunying's shoulder. Seeing that it had healed, Lin Ping was relieved.
Before long, a middle-aged man with a stern face and sharp eyes walked to the center and loudly read out the assessment details.
"Is this the head of the Enforcement Hall? The Xuanwu Sword in his hand is quite nice; it should be cast iron with some kind of element added to it."
Looking at the dark, precious sword, Lin Ping sighed inwardly.
Cast iron is much harder than wrought iron and is exceptionally sharp; however, its main drawback is that it is easily broken.
The reason why the Xuanwu Sword can be one of the Eight Lesser Swords must not be easily broken, so Lin Ping guessed that some element, such as chromium or manganese, was added to the cast iron.
The Enforcement Hall has always been in charge of the assessments, and the Peak Masters of Beidou Peak and Feihong Peak can only observe and cannot take over the role.
Actually, the rules for the assessment are very simple. In theory, you only need to imitate the Lotus Flower Sword Move to about three-tenths of its original form.
However, the Enforcement Hall has the right to increase the difficulty and select certain outer disciples to add tasks.
As for what items to add, that's up to the Enforcement Hall; in other words, the final interpretation right belongs to the Enforcement Hall.
