Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Misunderstanding Chapter 231: Chapter 231: Misunderstanding “Eh, is there something wrong with your eyes?” Shi Hao paused and kindly asked.
The green-clad woman suddenly opened her mouth wide, feeling an indescribable surge of frustration.
This is a charming glance, didn’t you feel your heart beating thump-thump?
And you’re quite good-looking too!
Even the woman in yellow couldn’t help but smile, her lips curving into a faint smile, instantly radiant.
“Let’s go,” she said to Shi Hao, her gaze carrying a hint of admiration.
Having Su Manman as your “plain wife” yet keeping your distance from someone with natural charm like the green-clad woman, your character is truly remarkable.
Shi Hao uttered an “oh” and followed her.
A few steps later, Su Manman turned her head and made a face at the green-clad woman, then skipped happily away.
The green-clad woman, who had just calmed down, nearly lost her temper again, but in her extreme anger, she revealed a smile instead.
“A challenging quest is even better!” she murmured.
Shi Hao followed the woman in yellow up the hill and soon entered a very large courtyard.
“The main house is where I live, you and your wife can stay in the annex,” the woman in yellow said. “Oh right, my name is Cao Feiyan.”
Eh, what’s going on here?
“Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, who’s his wife, huh?” Su Manman immediately protested.
“You’re not a couple?” Cao Feiyan was surprised and felt a bit of unexpected relief.
“Of course not,” Su Manman said haughtily, “How could a young lady like me fancy someone like him?”
Cao Feiyan naturally didn’t believe it. You’re so mediocre, yet Shi Hao is so good-looking, even she… Pfft!
She frowned, wondering what to do now.
“Then you stay in the left annex; let him stay in the right one,” she quickly said.
“Hold on a second,” Shi Hao interjected, “What exactly is going on here? Don’t I need to register with the sect or something?”
“You’re my follower, not a disciple of the sect, what is there to register?” Cao Feiyan asked, puzzled.
Shi Hao was dumbfounded. It turned out to be a selection of followers?
No wonder it was a bunch of young disciples making choices, with not even a sect big shot in sight, and they only did a simple realm test, not caring about potential and martial arts talent.
Su Manman immediately laughed merrily, patting Shi Hao on the shoulder: “Good-looking people really do have good luck!”
Shi Hao was at a loss for words.
“Don’t aim too high,” Cao Feiyan advised with her mood unusually good; “Although followers are not part of the sect, as long as you can reach the Other Shore, you can still join the sect.”
Shi Hao’s mind raced, and he slowly nodded.
First infiltrate the Zhenwu Sect and then figure out the situation.
After all, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he could always leave if he was unhappy.
He found out what followers actually did.
In the Zhenwu Sect, only Core Disciples were qualified to have followers, up to three at most.
The sect didn’t care for the followers, so the Cultivation Resources for followers had to be provided by their “master.”
Followers simply acted as attendants on a daily basis, and if their “master” went on adventures to ancient relics, the followers had to accompany them, play the role of assistants, and even explore dangerous areas first.
Therefore, if the “master” didn’t treat their followers well, it was quite easy for the followers to ditch their “master.”
On the other hand, the more outstanding the “master,” the more honored the followers felt and the stronger their sense of belonging.
It was said several elders in the Zhenwu Sect still had followers, all of whom were of the Other Shore realm, and could be called terrifying.
Shi Hao had just arrived and decided to start off as a follower, confident that with his talent, there would be plenty of opportunities to become a formal disciple. And if worse came to worst, couldn’t he also join the Pill Yard?
How could a Great Sect like Zhenwu Sect not have a Pill Yard?
He had only been there a short while when he could no longer sit still. He took the big yellow dog for a stroll around the area.
After a few steps, the big yellow dog refused to go further, lifting its leg and marking a bush with a few drops of urine, claiming the area for itself.
So, as they walked, they “staked out their territory.”
After making a round, they returned to their residence, only to see from afar a crowd of people waiting at the entrance, all of them women.
As Shi Hao approached, he could see clearly that these women included those who had come to apply as followers as well as existing disciples of Zhenwu Sect, and of course, they were the first batch of ordinary disciples responsible for the initial tests.
There must have been at least a hundred of them.
Suddenly, this army of women surged toward him, each one radiant with excitement.
“Brother Shi, I made you a Ten-Scent Treasure Chicken.”
“No, try the Thousand-Layer Cake I made for you.”
“Have some of my lotus seed soup.”
The women jostled and clamored, each trying to push their way to Shi Hao to secure a spot to offer their food.
Shi Hao felt a moment of daze. Had he returned to White Cloud Sect?
He couldn’t refuse all the cordiality, so he sampled a bit of each dish, making the women all elated.
After feeding Shi Hao to the brim, even the big yellow dog ate until its belly was round and full. Only then did the women reluctantly depart.
“Brother Shi, we’ll come to see you again tomorrow,” they said as they left.
Entering the courtyard, Shi Hao saw Cao Feiyan watching him with an amused yet non-smiling gaze.
“It seems you’re quite popular.”
Shi Hao nodded, “Everyone is very warm-hearted.”
He was used to it. It was at Starwind Academy, and at White Cloud Sect, and now at Zhenwu Sect it was the same.
“You should focus more on your cultivation,” Cao Feiyan reminded him, “and go make dinner.”
“I’m full,” Shi Hao said, puzzled.
“I’m not!” Cao Feiyan suddenly felt the urge to kick him. How could this follower be so clueless?
With no choice, Shi Hao busied himself in the kitchen. Besides, if not for Cao Feiyan, there was still Su Manman to consider, wasn’t there?
Hmm, tomorrow not only will he need to feed himself, but he’ll also have to bring some extra, lest he have to cook again.
Night passed and Shi Hao quickly became famous among the ordinary and Core Disciples.
The feeding army from the day before was enormous. Now, who in the sect didn’t know about the amazing follower who had captured the souls of a large number of female followers and disciples?
Today, even more female disciples joined the feeding army, doubling in number. Those who hadn’t met Shi Hao the previous day were ecstatic after their offerings.
It turned out there really was someone so handsome in the world!
He was so attractive that just a few glances were enough to make their legs go weak.
However, this also made Shi Hao an Instant enemy of all the male disciples, as his hatred score skyrocketed.
“Shi Hao!” By just the third day, someone ran over to challenge Shi Hao, “I want to challenge you!”
