I Just Wanted to Live, but I Somehow Became Better Than the Main Character

Chapter 52: Passed the Exam

Chapter 52: Passed the Exam

Echo Mountain Peak, inside the Hall Masters cave

Spiritual energy filled the cave, and many beautiful scrolls hung on the walls of the cave. From caves to the starry sky, from inanimate objects to living animals, every painting was done with immense attention and detail, so much so that it could make an observer feel as if they were in the scroll observing the painted object.

If a mortal with weak willpower looked at the painting, they would be so immersed in it that they would stand there until they fainted from fatigue.

In the center of many precious scrolls were a few bookshelves, a bed, a table, and a chair, very plain and simple, which seemed out of place with all the precious scroll paintings.

There was a colorful jade zither next to the bed. The zither was translucent and beautiful, and its strings were slightly emitting spiritual energy.

A stunningly beautiful woman was lying on the bed, looking at the zither and lost in thought. Though it may look like she was mesmerized by the jade zither, that was not the case at all. What she saw was by no means as simple as a zither.

After a long time had passed, the woman finally came back to her senses. God of War, Shura, Dragon King. Just from the name, one can tell they are powerful people. And yet, from the stories he told, they are people who lay low and pretend to be useless son-in-laws This little guy is quite interesting.

Disciple lobby

Despite being a maid, which cultivators considered to be a personal item, Wu Xue was being treated extremely well by the disciples in the Music and Art Hall. Too well, in fact, that it felt too good to be true.

The Crystallization and Golden Core Realm cultivators, whom Wu Xue considered powerful, were very nice and familiar with her, calling her Lil Xue lil sis with pleasant voices. Even though she was also a female like them, Wu Xue was feeling kind of high. If she was a male, then she probably wouldnt even be able to think of anything and would just be giggling stupidly.

So, after Junior Brother Ye Yong canceled his engagement to Junior Sister Qin Shi Meng, he dedicated himself to cultivation and didnt look for any daoist couple. He also didnt mention anyone he was interested in, right?

Mhmm, Wu Xue nodded cutely as she drank the good-tasting spirit fruit juice.

After getting a confirmation, the female cultivators smiled as they looked at each other, and soon their eyes were filled with a slight hostility toward each other. Even though there was a chance that Ye Yong wouldnt pass the exam and become a fellow disciple of the Music and Art Hall, he would still be in the Heavenly Luo Sect. This meant that they would still have a chance, so in that case, they were all rivals.

Lil Xue, Im back. Hello senior sisters, hello junior sisters, Ye Yong said as he walked into the disciple lobby.

Senior sisters referred to those female cultivators who were originally disciples of the Music and Art Hall. On the other hand, the senior sisters were those female cultivators who had been admitted along with Ye Yong. Since Ye Yong had the highest cultivation level and had joined the Sound Painting Hall first, it was only right that he should be the senior brother.

Young Master! Wu Xue put down her cup and hurriedly ran toward Ye Yong. She was quite thin-skinned, so even though she really missed Ye Yong, she couldnt hug Ye Yong under the gazes of so many people. Besides, she wasnt stupid and wouldnt do something that would incur the female cultivators wrath.

While Wu Xue had indeed been dazed by the female cultivators calling her lil sis, she instantly came to her senses once they asked about Ye Yong. These people came for Young Master!

However, Wu Xue was only at the 2nd layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, so she didnt have the cultivation to go against them, nor was her body developed enough. Against the female cultivators carrying good, excellent, or superb things in front of their chests, she didnt stand a chance with her childish body.

Facing their questions, the only thing that Wu Xue could do was answer most questions truthfully while hiding stuff like how Ye Yong had reforged his physique, spent 2 months to cultivate back to the 10th layer of the Qi Refinement Realm, and helped her forge her physique.

Young Master, did you pass the exam? Wu Xue asked. She was hoping that Ye Yong had failed and would quickly leave this dangerous group of women.

Some female cultivators were also curious about the answer, while some other smart female cultivators already knew the answer when they saw Ye Yong walk into the lobby normally.

Of course I passed, Ye Yong said, unaware of Wu Xues thoughts. He stroked her head. How is it? Are you happy?

Mmm Lil Xue is so happy that she is almost crying, Wu Xue said. She did want to cry, but it was from sadness, not happiness. Young Master, youre pushing yourself into a pit of fire.

The female cultivators cheered after hearing Ye Yong say that he had passed.

I knew the exam would be a piece of cake for Junior Brother Ye.

Senior Brother Ye is so good! Ive heard about the contents of the exam. Senior Brother Ye is a true gentleman. But I hope that when Senior Brother Ye interacts with me, he isnt that

Scram you flirts! I only want to discuss art with Junior Brother Ye. Im bad at drawing stuff related to male body parts, so I hope to discuss it with Junior Brother Ye.

Ye Yong smiled shyly at the female cultivators surrounding him. Please dont make fun of me, senior sisters, junior sisters. After transmigrating, Ye Yong had gotten better and better at acting. Was he really shy? No, he was actually extremely excited.

Even though he was going to be mainly focused on the heroines in the novel, it didnt mean that he didnt like the passionate gazes of the female side characters. Besides, they all looked beautiful and gave off sweet scents, and the fragrance was making Ye Yong a bit dizzy.

Lu Xiao Xiao, who was holding a book and stuck at the outer edge of the crowd, was jumping up and down. So unfair! Im the one who discovered this treasure junior brother!

Silence! Yi Bai and the other Golden Core Realm female cultivators came in later as they had gone to the hall masters cave to report the results to the hall master.

It was evident that Golden Core Realm cultivators had influence, as when those words came out, the whole place became silent.

Whining and yelling, where are your manners? Yi Bai said with a stern face. Those who just joined are fine, but the rest of you should know by this point that we music and art cultivators require a calm and quiet heart and mind at all times.

Many female cultivators shrunk their shoulders like they were children who had done something wrong. Im sorry, Senior Sister.

Whats the point of saying sorry to me? Say it to Junior Brother Ye! What if hes intimidated by you guys and wants to change halls? That was what Yi Bai and the other Golden Core Realm disciples were worried about. You all are acting like you have never seen a male before and want to devour him. What are you going to do if you scare him away?

Im sorry, Junior/Senior Brother Ye.

Its okay. You all were just happy for me. Like everyone, Im happy that I can be here, Ye Yong said, clasping his fists and saluting. In a gentle voice, he said, Please take care of me from now on.

So polite, so graceful.

Yi Bai was mesmerized for a bit, but she soon came back to her senses and shook her head. She coughed, saying, Our Music and Art Hall doesnt have a lot of people, so we should take care of each other and support each other like family. Whoever can cook come to the kitchen and make some food, well hold a feast for the junior brother and sisters who joined us today!

Even though cultivators didnt need to eat, they would get tired and bored of only eating pills all the time, so most cultivators would often occasionally get delicacies to enjoy. Some sects even had cultivators who specialized in food and drinks.

To pursue a man, one must first capture his stomach. This logic also applied to cultivators.

Dozens of female disciples rushed toward the kitchen.
