Chapter 1207A – Contribution Points
Lei Xiaoyu looked to the right and left. Only when she discovered no signs of her master did she let out a long breath. It seemed that his perception had indeed left.
She asked Qin Yu again. Once he determined that he really could sense the Spring Master’s thought fluctuations, her face lit up with joy.
“Let me tell you this first, Big Brother Qin. I will come to you when I want to talk in the future, so don’t call me annoying!”
Qin Yu was left speechless. It seemed that the Spring Master’s bad habit of eavesdropping was serious.
This wasn’t good. He had to earnestly remind Old Turtle to keep an eye out for the Spring Master’s thought fluctuations to avoid an accident occurring.
Thinking about it, he subconsciously glanced at the peach tree in front of him. After all, since their teacher was the master of the peach garden, he had no choice but to be careful.
Lei Xiaoyu sensed his look. She said, “Big Brother Qin, there’s no need to worry. The peach trees are our guardians and are connected to our hearts. They won’t say anything irresponsibly.”
She pulled out a wooden chair and sat down. Lifting a hand, she poured two cups of tea, causing fragrance to overflow. “This is tea that master bestowed to me last time. I have no idea what variety it is, but master wavered at the time. I have tasted it several times and the flavor is first cla.s.s. Big Brother Qin, please give it a try.”
Qin Yu took a sip. Its flavor was indeed at the peak. As the tea entered his belly, a warm heat started to nourish his soul. Even with Qin Yu’s soul intensity, he still felt a weak increase. From this alone it could be seen how astonis.h.i.+ng the effects of this tea were.
“Good tea!”
Putting down the teacup, Qin Yu reached out and knocked on the table. He had plenty of time to slowly savor it.
Lei Xiaoyu said, “Good, then I won’t speak in circles and I’ll get to the main point. The truth is that as I said before, the senior-apprentice brothers and sisters at Peach Blossom Spring are all very good people, and it is easy to get along with them. There is none of the intrigue, secret disputes, and other things that you would find outside. As long as you don’t anger teacher, then there’s basically no problem.”
Qin Yu nodded, hinting for her to continue.
Lei Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, “Teacher must have told you that the peach garden doesn’t support idlers, right? This isn’t aimed at Big Brother Qin, but all of the disciples of Peach Blossom Spring. I have to remind you that the reason master said this is because it is the truth. Everything in Peach Blossom Spring has to be earned.
“Of course, there are many ways to earn contributions. Every room has a little booklet with detailed records within. Big Brother Qin should remember it by heart, because Peach Blossom Spring’s contribution points are very, very useful.”
She subconsciously shrank her neck, her eyes turning as she looked at Qin Yu. Once she received an affirmation that their teacher’s divine sense wasn’t here, she continued to say, “I’m going to tell you something that actually happened. I came after so I didn’t experience this for myself, but this was told to me by our senior-apprentice brothers and sisters. Our peach garden’s second senior-apprentice brother…I will tell you about him soon enough…but in short, many years ago, second senior-apprentice brother was bullied in the outside world. He came back and torturously cultivated for 30 years. When he broke out of his seclusion he planned to take revenge. But in the end, for some reason his enemy learned who he was and hid inside a turtle sh.e.l.l in fear, not even daring to come out.
“Second senior-apprentice brother blocked that person’s door and cursed out loud for three days and three nights, but he still wouldn’t come out. Can you guess what happened next?” Lei Xiaoyu had an excited and dramatic expression as she continued, “Our second senior-apprentice brother used his acc.u.mulated contribution points to ask master for help. Master broke the turtle sh.e.l.l with a single punch and second senior-apprentice brother lifted his spear and rushed in. As for that person who bullied him in the past, he was beaten up so pitifully that he likely wouldn’t be able to stand for the rest of his life. The key is that with master watching on, the elders from the other side were so frightened that they didn’t dare to interfere.”
Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He thought about how a solemn True Saint who had reached the other sh.o.r.e had actually been hired as a thug by his own disciple. For something so odd and outrageous to happen, and for Lei Xiaoyu who arrived later to know about it, it could be seen that this wasn’t a secret in the peach garden at all.
In other words, the Spring Master didn’t think that this was shameful, and didn’t take it seriously at all…he even tacitly allowed the disciples to know so that they understood the importance of contribution points.
What nonsense. If one could even hire a True Saint as a personal thug, was there much else to say about how valuable contribution points were? The most direct example was in front of him. Qin Yu immediately decided that one Lei Xiaoyu left, he would go into his room to find the booklet that listed contribution values and memorize every word.
When it came to this, the more the merrier!
In fact, Qin Yu couldn’t help but think that if he gathered a shocking amount of contribution points, could he ask the Spring Master to have a discussion with Peachy to let Ning Ling and You Qi off?
Forgetting whether or not this option was feasible, there was at least a possibility. And as long as there was a possibility, Qin Yu was willing to try it.
“You cannot annoy master, and contribution points must be acc.u.mulated. With these two points in mind, you can basically do whatever you want at Peach Blossom Spring.” Lei Xiaoyu hesitated and said, “But let me tell you a few more things about our fellow senior-apprentice brothers and sisters. Even though I know they are good people, the truth is that I haven’t had much contact with them, so I won’t comment and will just give a brief introduction.”
When Qin Yu finally entered Peach Blossom Spring, the Spring Master had said he was seated ninth. That meant he had a total of nine disciples.
There was Peachy, the third seat White Phoenix, the fifth seat Iron Mountain, the sixth seat Earth Stride, and Lei Xiaoyu in front of him. He had seen more than half of them. The ones he hadn’t seen yet were their elder senior-apprentice brother, second senior-apprentice brother, and seventh senior-apprentice sister. These were the three that Lei Xiaoyu emphasized.
She spoke a great deal and the information was fragmented. But as she kept speaking, three figures gradually appeared in Qin Yu’s mind.
Elder senior-apprentice brother. When something made sense, the one who liked to talk about sense the most was him.
Second senior-apprentice brother – he could never be wronged, and if there was revenge to be taken, he would take it immediately. If he couldn’t, he would go into seclusion before coming out and taking revenge again.
Seventh senior-apprentice sister…she was a very beautiful woman. But according to Lei Xiaoyu, even now she had no idea what the true appearance of seventh senior-apprentice sister looked like, because every time she saw her, she was wearing a completely strange and yet equally beautiful face.
The reason White Phoenix was called White Phoenix was that he was born from the Phoenix Clan. In terms of bloodline alone, he was one of the n.o.blest creatures in the world. He was born with an affinity to all living things. Simply put, he was someone whose popularity was so good that it blew past the limit, someone who was beloved by the will of the heavens, whose luck was preposterous and would have good deeds meet him just by walking around.
The one he admired most was elder senior-apprentice brother. As a result, he had picked up the habit of speaking to others and reasoning with them. As elder senior-apprentice brother was deep in seclusion and second senior-apprentice brother was almost never home, the daily affairs of Peach Blossom Spring were handled by White Phoenix.
There was also another point. Because the Phoenix Clan was on good terms with the Azure Dragon lineage in the ancient times, and the two bloodlines were on the wane right now, White Phoenix was incredibly good to Azure Dragon. Simply put, he doted on the dragon. White Phoenix had scolded his junior-apprentice brothers and sisters, even given a talking to second senior-apprentice brother once. Thus, although Azure Dragon wasn’t the Spring Master’s disciple, his status wasn’t low.
Speaking to here, Lei Xiaoyu comforted Qin Yu. She would find Azure Dragon and ask him to be lenient, so that he wouldn’t find third senior-apprentice brother and bring him to cause trouble.
Fifth senior-apprentice brother Iron Mountain. He was a cultivator from an ancient line that focused on the mortal body. His cultivation was based on his blood energy and his strength was unfathomable.
Sixth senior-apprentice brother Earth Stride. It was said that he was the reincarnation of an earth spirit bred from the heavens and earth, and he was born to be one with the earth. His escape methods were the most amazing. In addition, he and fifth senior-apprentice brother were together most of the time. It was likely he had also learned some body training methods, as his physical strength was amazing too.
Then, there was the eighth seat Lei Xiaoyu. When she spoke about herself, she was a bit shy because according to the rules of the peach garden, when Qin Yu saw her later he would have to call her senior-apprentice sister.
After all, she was eighth seat and Qin Yu was ninth. There wasn’t much to say about it so she quickly pa.s.sed over the topic.
The last was Peachy. When Lei Xiaoyu spoke of her, she hesitated a little. “Senior-apprentice sister Peachy is fourth seat, and is master’s only daughter. She has the most honored status and likes to freely come and go. Even when she is in the peach garden, she isn’t close to the other disciples much. Ever since I entered the peach garden I have seen fourth senior-apprentice sister several times, but she has spoken less than ten words to me.
“Except for elder senior-apprentice brother and second senior-apprentice brother who take the initiative to talk to her, only senior-apprentice brother White Phoenix speaks a few words to her. The others are a little afraid of fourth senior-apprentice sister. This isn’t because she doesn’t walk to talk, but because her eyes are too cold and indifferent when she looks at you.”
Lei Xiaoyu forced a smile. She seemed to be recalling an unpleasant memory.
Following that, she spoke about some random matters of Peach Blossom Spring. For instance, issues of going in and out, some restricted areas, and also about the servants.
There were certainly servants, and there was an astonis.h.i.+ng amount of them. The solemn Peach Blossom Spring Holy Land couldn’t have just a True Saint and nine disciples, right? Although cleaning was a contribution, that didn’t mean you would earn contributions just by sweeping anywhere.
Furthermore, in such a ma.s.sive peach garden, it definitely wouldn’t work out if there was no one to take care of things.
Each Peach Blossom Spring disciple would obtain a large number of servants after officially joining. Basically, as long as one wanted to, they could even have people spoon feeding them meals, and these people would all be top cla.s.s beauties.
It had to be known that while servants were servants, one had to look at what place they were from.
And this was Peach Blossom Spring, the orthodoxy of a True Saint. Even looking at the myriad heavens, this was a peak existence.
If one casually tossed out a servant spot for Peach Blossom Spring, no matter what the job duties were, it would attract countless numbers of outside cultivators. They would brutally fight each other for this, and many of these compet.i.tors would be cultivators from large and prominent families.
So even though servants were servants, they couldn’t be judged by common sense.
When Lei Xiaoyu spoke about beautiful women, although she had already extinguished some thoughts she used to have, she still tightened her eyes and stared at Qin Yu. What satisfied her was that Qin Yu’s expression was calm and he clearly didn’t care.
That’s right, what sort of eyesight does Big Brother Qin have? Even in the past she couldn’t do it…much less these common people!
But even though she said this, the mindset of a man could change at the snap of a finger. He didn’t care now, but what about in the future?
Lei Xiaoyu thought that she had an obligation and responsibility to help Qin Yu avoid any mistakes he might make in the future.
She lightly coughed, “Big Brother Qin, you just arrived so there are likely many matters you need to sort out. As for the preparation of servants, allow me to help you. Don’t worry, I have done this before and have previous experience. The people I choose will definitely satisfy you.”
Qin Yu glanced at her. He laughed inwardly and shook his head. This little girl couldn’t conceal her thoughts at all. But since she was willing, he would let her do what she wanted. In any case, Qin Yu never placed much thought into it to begin with.
“Good. Then…I’ll have to trouble senior-apprentice sister.”
Lei Xiaoyu’s face flushed red, looking cute and lovable with her helpless appearance. “Big Brother Qin…you…I…don’t call me that in the future…let’s talk later!”
As she spoke, she ran away.
