Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?! Chapter 303 – Chapter 303: Chapter 239: Hold for a While_2

Chapter 303: Chapter 239: Hold for a While_2
Hearing that Li Qingge was preparing to take action, Yan and Mo were shocked and appalled.

A mix of respect, along with self-reproach, rose from the depths of Yan Yue's and Mo Ningdan's hearts: Li was not only at the Core Formation cultivation level but was also a senior from Jiang Cheng. She disregarded the challenges of conventional views and the potential rumors that might follow, actually intending to take personal action, to throw herself into the tiger's den! Such a spirit of sacrifice for the sect's greater good was truly a height we could only aspire to!

As a female cultivator of the Taixu Sect, it goes without saying that Li Qingge's appearance was beyond question. With the Taixu Sect's recruitment hall setting the standards, the overall attractiveness of the sect far surpassed the average in the Cultivation World.

While others prioritize talent in their disciples, the Taixu Sect looks first for “immortal fate,” which bluntly put, meant “appearance.”

Those who were not good-looking, potentially detrimental to the sect's image, would be tactfully rejected by the recruitment hall: “You have no immortal fate with our sect, please come back in your next life.”

Compared to Liang Lu, Li Qingge had advantages in both stature and experience.

Even though Liang Lu had a slightly better face, it was nothing compared to the gentleness and care of a sister!

As long as Li Qingge was willing to put in the effort, her ability to attract others might not be inferior to Lin Yao's.

“Mrs. Mo, who did you just say Senior Li is preparing to seduce?” Lin Yao asked, staring at Mo Ningdan.

Mo Ningdan had an illusion; she felt that Lin Yao's gaze at this moment was firmer than when she passed through Chaotic Heart Mountain!

Could it be that Lin Yao's triumph over Chaotic Heart Mountain was not her limit, but the limit of Chaotic Heart Mountain?

Mo Ningdan was startled by her own thought.

If the guess was true, then she had truly misjudged Liang Lu in the past.

For Liang Lu to have exchanged blows with a monster like Lin Yao and still manage to hold her own! That was nothing short of genius!

“Mrs. Mo, who did you say Senior Li is preparing to seduce?”

Lin Yao asked again.

Mo Ningdan looked at Li Qingge, who nodded.

Only then did Mo Ningdan say, “Jiang Cheng. We originally planned for you to attract Jiang Cheng's attention, but unfortunately, you said you don't like interacting with male cultivators. We will not force our disciples, especially since you're not even officially part of the Taixu Sect. So, it seems we have no choice but to trouble Li.”

Li Qingge struggled to hold back laughter: “It's not trouble at all, it's all for the sect's grand plan…”

“Wait!”

Lin Yao suddenly spoke up, interrupting.

Yan Yue saw Lin Yao being impolite for the first time and asked curiously, “Lin Yao, is there something else you want to say?”

Lin Yao's attitude was earnest: “Is it too late for me to change my mind now?”

The crowd: ???

Li Qingge felt a tightness in her heart. “Hold on, what are you regretting?”

“The matter of helping out. Seduction of Jiang Cheng—I can do it!”

“Ah?”

The three Core Formation experts were completely baffled by Lin Yao.

One moment Lin Yao agreed, another she disagreed, and then she agreed again. What exactly was she trying to do?

“Didn't you say you don't want to talk to male cultivators? Why are you suddenly willing again?” Li Qingge asked, feeling confused. She almost…

“Jiang Cheng is different,” Lin Yao answered succinctly.

Yan Yue didn't understand: “Different? What's so different about him?”

Mo Ningdan said, “That's not important anymore. Since Lin Yao is willing to help, we will be able to carry out the plan smoothly.”

Lin Yao stood up and bowed: “As a student, I hold the fate of the sect as my own responsibility and guarantee to complete the tasks assigned by my seniors!”

Li Qingge: “You best be!”

After dealing with Lin Yao, Li Qingge and the others went to Liang Lu's activity room to work on persuading her.

Normally, no one would agree to such a brazen move as poaching, but Liang Lu consented very readily.

“Sure, no problem.”

“You can't back out of this, don't you want to think about it some more?”

“No need, I've thought it through.”

In fact, Liang Lu wasn't the type of female cultivator with peculiar preferences; she didn't have the habit of giving her dao companion away, but rather, Liang Lu knew that Lin Yao was Jiang Cheng's junior sister and the two might have a significant history.

Rather than passively avoiding it and waiting for Lin Yao to show up on her doorstep…

It was better to take initiative, to let Lin Yao try herself.

After all, Lin Yao would also join the Taixu Sect in the future, and it was only a matter of time before she had to face this challenge.

Of course, the main reason was that Liang Lu had confidence in herself.

With Lin Yao's ironclad personality, there was no reason for her to feel afraid.

“Since you've thought it through, then we need to create a coincidence, to give Lin Yao an opportunity to get close to Jiang Cheng,” Li Qingge said.

“You mean you need my help?”

“Not necessarily, we just hope you'll turn a blind eye to our plan.”

“That's no problem, I'll pretend I don't know about it, is that alright?”

“Very good indeed.”

Jiang Cheng's rubbing work at the Capital University Library finally entered the last phase of wrapping up.

That meant, after today, he would no longer need to come to the Capital University Library.

Because it was the morning, the Dayan Sect Disciples in the library today could be described as an all-star lineup.

Apart from Jiang Cheng, Liu Qing, Yue Linger, Shen Menghan, and Liang Lu were all present.

With staff more than sufficient, Jiang Cheng found himself with nothing left to do.

However, as the sect leader, he wasn't supposed to micromanage everything; if he did everything himself, then the sect would never grow.

Jiang Cheng stood in the corridor, watching the four female cultivators work from a distance, suddenly feeling that something was off.

“Why are all the Dayan Sect disciples female cultivators? Not a single male disciple? Isn't this becoming like the Taixu Sect? We really do need male disciples; otherwise, recruiting only female disciples will not allow the sect to develop quickly.”

Jiang Cheng's worry was not unfounded.

In fact, the predicament of the Taixu Sect was well known among those in the Immortal Sects.

The Taixu Sect only accepted female disciples, but the problem was, even among female disciples, not all would choose the Taixu Sect. Therefore, the recruitment actions of the Taixu Sect were in essence self-castrating, voluntarily narrowing the range of potential sect disciples.

The advantage of this approach was a higher degree of purity, but the disadvantage was also obvious: the smaller recruitment range meant slower development and the lack of sufficient competition often resulted in many disciples not reaching their potential.

One could only say that each of the Five Great Immortal Sects had its own difficulties.

However, the Dayan Sect did not have this problem, because other Immortal Sects always had to consider the interests and thoughts of each faction within their ranks, but the Dayan Sect operated solely on Jiang Cheng's word, without internal strife or resistance.

As noon approached, logistics staff member Jiang Cheng took the initiative to ask, “What would you all like for lunch? I'll go and buy it for you.”

“Let's have hot and sour rice noodles.”

“I want crab roe noodles.”

“That's expensive.”

“Anyway, it's Jiang Cheng paying.”

“Then I also want crab roe noodles.”

Liang Lu chose to go along with the crowd, following her two sisters in having noodles.

Liu Qing was the only one who didn't eat vegetarian; she wanted meat.

Jiang Cheng could understand; as a carnivore, given the chance to eat meat, she definitely would choose meat.

After collecting the orders from the staff, Jiang Cheng went out to make the purchases.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the Capital University Library, he spotted a figure sitting on a bench by the road that instantly caught his attention.

The girl was wrapped in a fluffy white scarf and wore a cute little cotton hat, sitting quietly with her head down on the bench, as if she were lost in thought or waiting for someone.

Today was the tail end of the winter break; although classes were about to start, they hadn't yet.

The dorms weren't open, so it was unlikely any student would arrive at school so far in advance just to hang out.

The girl's presence here was self-explanatory.

She was waiting for someone.

But with only a few people in the Capital University Library, who could she be waiting for?

This day was bound to come after all.

Jiang Cheng pretended to be calm, quickly walked past the girl, acting as if he hadn't recognized her.

“Senior Brother Jiang, do you not recognize Yao'er anymore?”

A very familiar female voice came from behind him.

Jiang Cheng's steps faltered, he hesitated for a moment and then tried to walk on.

“If Senior Brother doesn't want to see Yao'er, Yao'er can leave. But if Senior Brother didn't see Yao'er, then Yao'er will just wait here for Senior Brother.”

Jiang Cheng's scalp tingled.

In his life, there were only two people he couldn't deal with; one was a certain snake, and the other was his good junior sister.

“Junior Sister Lin, it's been a long time.”

Jiang Cheng turned around and looked at Lin Yao.

After more than half a year, the once very girlish Lin Yao had gradually become more mature.

The hints of a face and figure that could bring disaster to a nation were emerging, and perhaps in a few more years, Wuyue's old friend would no longer recognize her.

Jiang Cheng was certainly still able to recognize her, having seen her complete character illustration; it would be impossible for him not to recognize her.

Lin Yao stood up from the bench, “Aren't you planning to leave any longer, Senior Brother?”

“I temporarily can't leave now.”

“In that case,” Lin Yao stepped gracefully forward, approaching Jiang Cheng before suddenly throwing herself into his arms.

Jiang Cheng, caught off guard: “Junior Sister Lin!”

“Let Yao'er have a hug with Senior Brother.”
