Chapter 137 Why do I have to carry manure?

On the first day of becoming an outer sect disciple, Lin Qingyue was challenged to a duel by some unknown senior brothers and sisters.

Lin Qingyue had no choice but to accept it, and after being defeated by several people, he watched helplessly as the number on the disciple jade pendant, which originally had no number, turned into 3567.

The door slid open, and Shi Jingbai shuffled back in. She looked listless and pale. After Lin Qingyue's brutal training, she had successfully defeated her opponent in the third round.

Logically speaking, you should be happy.

Lin Qingyue touched the sign and thought about how to balance teaching in the future.

The light dimmed, and Shi Jingbai stood in front of her with an expressionless face.

"What's your name?"

Lin Qingyue took out paper and pen and began to grind ink.

"3567."

"Ruined……"

Lin Qingyue was confused: "What's finished?"

Shi Jingbai took out her sign.

3789 people.

Lin Qingyue heard Shi Jingbai's regretful voice.

"I didn't know this at first, but after competing with my senior sister, I found out. Disciples ranked after 3,000th have to clean the outer gate area. New disciples don't have to participate in the ranking for a year. But once they compete with other senior brothers and sisters using the badge, their ranking will be counted."

Lin Qingyue opened his eyes in disbelief: "So we have to sweep the floor later?"

Shi Jingbai nodded sadly: "Every day, the disciple's jade pendant will show you the place you are to clean. Sometimes you are not sweeping the floor, but doing work. In short, it is all the work that people are unwilling to do because of lack of manpower."

"Didn't the Ziyang Sword Sect say before that outer disciples couldn't bring servants? Plus, the Ziyang Sword Sect doesn't like hiring menial workers, so they let the lower-ranked disciples do the daily cleaning. Outer disciples can't bring servants like inner disciples, so naturally they can only work hard on their sword skills to defeat the others."

Outer disciples are indeed not allowed to bring attendants, but Lin Qingyue knows that Yun Shaobo's maid is registered under the name of Elder Zhang, the internal affairs elder of Ziyang Sword Sect, but she usually stays by Yun Shaobo's side to take care of him.

Here we have to admire Yu Qingping's network of contacts, but it's a pity that she doesn't have so many interpersonal relationships.

When Wen Lingyun came back, the first thing he said was.

"Sister Qingyue, Uncle Yun said that we cannot accept the competition from our senior brothers and sisters, otherwise we will have to clean up!"

Lin Qingyue: "Thank you, I've already called. I'll clean up and get ready to sweep the floor tomorrow."

Wen Lingyun: "I want to help Sister Qingyue sweep!"

"No!" Lin Qingyue refused, "What you need to do is go to the cafeteria and bring me food!"

Wen Lingyun: "Okay then, what would Sister Qingyue like to eat?"

"Chicken noodles, braised pork, steamed sea bass, stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of wolfberry and red date soup."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Lin Qingyue showed a look of relief.

Dust-Breaking System: ...Is food the only thing on your mind?

-----------------

When Lin Qingyue walked breathlessly to a remote house in Ziyang Sword Sect, his face turned completely dark.

What she has to do today is to pick up manure!!!

The other new disciples who were betrayed by their senior brothers and sisters also wailed.

"I was wondering why all the brothers and sisters who came to fight with me wore masks on their faces. It turns out they were afraid of being found by us!"

"It stinks, can I not do it?"

"If you don't want to be punished by the Discipline Hall."

The disciple who was about to give up immediately perked up and said, "Forget it, I like to work."

"Haha, I like working too."

Lin Qingyue and several others transported the things to the medicinal fields as required. When they came down early in the morning, they were stinking.

Lin Qingyue felt that she had lost her sense of smell. Although she wanted to go back and take a shower, there was not much time left before the elder’s lecture.

There was no other way but to cast a few more dust-clearing spells on myself, and then rushed to class in a hurry.

When Wen Lingyun saw Lin Qingyue arriving, he quickly waved to her to indicate that there was an empty seat.

Lin Qingyue sat down, took the lunch box handed to him by Wen Lingyun, and then finished the shredded chicken noodles, braised pork, steamed sea bass and wolfberry and red date soup at super fast speed.

She originally thought she couldn't finish so much, but she didn't expect that the busy morning made her eat everything.

Lin Qingyue: "Looks like we have to go grab food at noon."

Wen Lingyun: "Don't worry, Sister Qingyue, I bought some extra, enough for lunch."

Looking at the noisy and quarrelsome lobby again, Lin Qingyue felt a sense of familiarity.

This feeling continued until the class started and the elders began to call on people to answer questions.

The serious old elder looked majestically at Lin Qingyue who was lowering his head to avoid his sight.

"Lin Qingyue."

Lin Qingyue: This is such bad luck.

Lin Qingyue stood up: "Elder."

Elder: "What does the sword training I just mentioned have to do with cultivation?"

It’s not that Lin Qingyue didn’t attend the class, she just didn’t want to be called on by the elders, so she answered the questions quickly.

Lin Qingyue: "Cultivation level cannot determine the realm of sword practice. On the contrary, if the cultivation level is too high at the beginning, it will affect the performance of sword practice."

Elder: "Anything else?"

Lin Qingyue: "It would be best if you could master every bit of your body's spiritual power when practicing swordsmanship. Only then can you achieve the state of unity between man and sword."

The elder nodded in satisfaction. "It seems you listened just now. Sit down. But next time, you know to raise your hands. Don't be so reserved. I'll call everyone anyway, so there's no point in relying on luck."

Everyone:...

In the following teaching sessions, more people raised their hands.

Rather than expecting to be called upon by the elders when you don’t know, it is better to raise your hand and answer when you know the answer.

An hour finally passed, and the elder looked at the new disciples who were eager to try and smiled.

"Everyone can rest now. Those who haven't yet entered the Dao can stay."

Most people left the school, and Lin Qingyue followed Wen Lingyun out. On the way out, she ran into the boy from the first competition, and his eyes lit up when he looked at her.

Wang Bielin: "I knew you could pass the entrance exam. How about we compete again later?"

Lin Qingyue replied perfunctorily: "Next time, next time, definitely next time."

Wen Lingyun: "Sister Qingyue is gone! Do we still need to go to class?"

Lin Qingyue: "Do we still have to go to class? Can you accept it? Do you want to take a break?"

Dust-Breaking System: "Are you sure you're not tired?"

Lin Qingyue hurried to catch up with Wen Lingyun and caught up with him in just a few steps.

Wang Bielin looked at her back and sighed.

The elder came over and said, "You thought this was still an entry-level competition? Without spiritual power suppression, you can't beat her at all."

"I know that." Strangely, Wang Bielin's tone was excited. "I just want to test whether I've improved. Once I defeat Lin Qingyue, won't that prove I've improved?"

The elder's serious expression faded with a smile, and he stroked his beard.

"Then you must practice swordsmanship well this afternoon. Now, learn how to draw Qi into the Dao."
