C10 Three Difficult Problems

"It was because her parents did not agree that Xiaoling came to me."

Yan Qingmeng said exasperatedly and helplessly, "She pestered me to teach her every day. Disciple was so annoyed that she had no choice but to agree. If she could solve the three difficult questions that I gave her, I would teach her the Windweaving."

"Three difficult questions? The third one is the third one. In other words, she has already solved the first two questions. If she can solve the third one, will you really lend the Windweaving to that crazy girl? She really dares to cultivate it. " Miao Lan was a little uneasy.

"Master, don't worry. Even if Xiaoling really obtained the Windweaving, I will still cultivate with her. I won't let anything happen to her. Furthermore..."

After a pause, Yan Qingmeng revealed a smile that she was holding a wise pearl in her hand as she slowly said, "Besides, I am so smart. The questions that she found might not be difficult for me!"

...

On the third day of the servant disciple training, after the last training in the morning, the group of prospective servant disciples officially became the new servants of the Azure Sect.

Everyone received their own sect identity medallion and a small book called the Azure Essence Sutra.

The Azure Essence Sutra was a common arcane cultivation method of the Azure Sect. Although the one that was given to the servants was the emasculated version of the Azure Essence Sutra, which was only suitable for the first level of the arcane cultivation.

However, compared to it, the emasculated version of the Azure Essence Sutra was still much better than the cultivation technique on the side of the road.

Following the distribution of the cultivation technique booklet, the specific arrangements of the new servant disciples were also distributed.

As expected, Lu Chen was specially taken care of and was assigned to Azure Peak.

There were seven Spirit Peaks in the Azure Sect, and Azure Peak was the main Spirit Peak. It was located in the center of the Azure Sect, and the Peak Masters of the past generations were all the sect masters who took on the role of the sect master and led the entire Azure Sect.

The other six Secondary Spirit Peaks were the Forge Peak, Martial Peak, Runeforge Peak, Spirit Peak, and Mount Elixir.

Generally speaking, when new servant disciples entered, they could only be assigned to the other six secondary Spirit Peaks, and they could not directly enter the Azure Peak.

When a servant disciple wanted to be transferred to the Azure Peak, they had to stay in the sect for a year. Generally speaking, only when their cultivation reached the fourth level of Qi Awakening would they be qualified to be transferred.

Lu Chen was immediately transferred to the Great Garden of Azure Peak, which was not in accordance with the rules.

However, this rule was set by people.

As the Dean of the Servants' Quarters, Wei Qianxian would occasionally violate the rules, but no one in the Azure Sect would care about it. In fact, no one was even bothered to care about it.

After all, the servants in the Servants' Quarters were the disciples with the lowest talent and status in the Azure Sect.

To put it bluntly, these disciples would basically not have any great achievements in the future, and there would rarely be any exceptions.

Therefore, in the Azure Sect, regardless of whether it was the sect master or the Peak Masters, they were all too lazy to care about the internal affairs of the Servants' Quarters.

As long as there were no major problems, they would usually not ask about it.

Therefore, Wei Qianxian could decide all the affairs of the Servants' Quarters on his own. For Lu Chen, who was a newbie, to be specially transferred to the Azure Peak was just a simple order.

Just like that, under the envious gazes of all the new servants, Lu Chen followed Lee Qi to the Great Garden at the foot of the Azure Peak.

The Great Garden was the residence of the Servants' Quarters of the Azure Peak. There were ten small courtyards in it, and each of them had eight single rooms.

There were about sixty people in the Great Garden of the Azure Peak at the moment. 70% of them were male Servants' Quarters, and 30% were female Servants' Quarters.

After they had settled down, Lee Qi purposely took Lu Chen around the Great Garden and showed his face in front of all the other Servants' Quarters, so that he could get familiar with them.

From Lee Qi's introduction, Lu Chen was a newbie, but he was fortunate enough to be transferred to the Azure Peak by Wei Qianxian. All the old Servants' Quarters immediately understood.

Lee Qi was indirectly telling everyone that Lu Chen was a newbie, and that they could not show off to the new Servants' Quarters like they did in the past. They had to get along with each other.

Lu Chen was also a person who knew the rules. He knew that it was very easy for a newbie like him to be ostracized when he came in through connections.

Especially since his relationship with Wei Qianxian was not as solid as everyone imagined.

Therefore, in order to blend into the Great Garden of Azure Peak as soon as possible, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and took out some money. Lee Qi was in charge of contacting them and called up seven or eight "old" servant disciples from the Great Garden to eat at the nearby No. 1 cafeteria.

The Azure Sect had two cafeterias. The first floor of the cafeteria was free food for the disciples of the sect, but the food was not as good as the second floor, so it was only used to fill their stomachs.

The second floor was the free dining area. There were a variety of dishes, and the price was also relatively high.

The third floor was the expensive area. The dishes were exquisite and the ingredients were good. Of course, the price was also expensive. Usually, only the rich disciples of the Upper Court or the flamen would eat at the third floor.

Of course, he could not be stingy when treating someone to a meal. Lu Chen went straight to the third floor of the cafeteria and ordered a table full of good wine and delicious food to greet the few senior brothers and sisters.

After eating and drinking, they chatted and laughed for half an hour before the table was finally cleared.

After paying nearly seven gold coins for the food, Lu Chen felt a little heartache, but he still pretended to be calm and followed everyone downstairs.

"Lu Chen!"

Just as he had walked down half the stairs, a familiar cry suddenly sounded from the corner.

Xue Xiaoling had just gone upstairs to eat at this time, but she didn't expect to meet Lu Chen here. Her eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted, jumping over excitedly to stop him.

"Xue Xiaoling!"

Almost all the disciples who were in the Azure Peak knew the Sect Master's daughter, Xue Xiaoling. When they saw her suddenly jump over, they were all shocked and hurriedly cupped their hands in salute.

"How coincidental. Did Xue Xiaoling also come here to eat?"

Lu Chen was not as restrained as the others. He just smiled and greeted Xue Xiaoling.

He originally thought that it was just a casual greeting. Unexpectedly, Xue Xiaoling directly reached out her hand and pulled him up. While happily pulling him up the stairs, she said with a smile, "It's great to meet you. Let's go! I'll treat you to a meal."

"No need. I've just eaten!"

Lu Chen was suspicious. This girl might want to use treating him to a meal to compensate for the favor he had given her yesterday for solving her problem.

Therefore, he rejected her without hesitation.

After all, the favor yesterday was worth eighty gold coins. How could it be enough for this girl to pay for a meal?

Hehe, wishful thinking!

This was the first time he had been rejected for treating someone to a meal. Furthermore, it was so cleanly rejected. Xue Xiaoling was not used to it. She blinked and said casually, "It's okay. Then you treat me to a meal."

Without waiting for Lu Chen's objection, she forcefully pulled Lu Chen up the stairs.

Lu Chen: "..."

This was the first time he had seen someone who could say "you're treating me to a meal" so confidently and naturally.

Lu Chen was speechless. He could only walk upstairs while turning his head to greet the group of servant brothers and sisters. He looked apologetic.

Only when Xue Xiaoling and Lu Chen disappeared upstairs did the eight invited servant disciples react. They looked at each other in dismay. A few of them could not help but ask, "Lee Qi, what is this brat's background? Why does he seem to be very familiar with Xue Xiaoling?"

Actually, Lee Qi did not know much about it. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he could only spread out his hands and said innocently, "If you ask me, then who should I ask?"

...

On the third floor of the cafeteria, Lu Chen waited for Xue Xiaoling to order the dishes. Then, he said directly, "There is no need to come to the temple if there is no business. Tell me, do you have any questions that you need my help to solve?"

"Yes, and no."

Xue Xiaoling shook her head and nodded. She looked a little distressed as she said, "I do need your help, but this time, I don't need you to solve the questions. I just need you to help me solve the questions."

As she spoke, she asked for the Windweaving from Yanyan, but Yanyan asked her to solve a difficult question.

After Lu Chen heard this, he suddenly understood, "You mean to ask me to help you solve three difficult questions and make your smart Yanyan feel troubled?"

Xue Xiaoling scratched her head and said awkwardly, "It's not three questions, it's just one. I made two questions this morning, but in the end, Yanyan solved them all in one go."

"Oh, so powerful? What kind of questions did you give her? Tell me about it." Lu Chen asked with interest.

Xue Xiaoling blinked and stretched out a finger. She said, "The first question is: Buyers don't need it, but the people who use it don't know! Buying something."

Buyers don't need it? People who use it don't know? How could there be such a strange thing in the world?

Lu Chen frowned and rubbed his chin as he thought about it. Then, his eyes lit up as he replied, "The answer is a coffin?"

Xue Xiaoling nodded gloomily, then raised her second finger and asked, "The second question is: How does a blind person find the black ball among a hundred identical white balls?"

Lu Chen did not even need to think about it. He answered directly, "Simple, put all the balls under the sun for a while, and then spend time to find them one by one."

"Why?"

"Black heat absorbs heat, so the black ball will be hotter than the white ball at the same time."

Although she had already prepared for it, Xue Xiaoling was still greatly shocked when Lu Chen answered it all at once. She could not help but feel dejected, "Lu Chen, is this question really that simple? I have gathered more than twenty senior brothers and sisters, and picked the two most difficult questions from dozens of difficult questions that I have thought of."

Little brat, you want to compare your brain with mine? You are courting death. Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently, "Anyway, I don't think it's that difficult."

Looking at Lu Chen eagerly, Xue Xiaoling begged, "Then help me think of a more difficult question. I only have one last chance. You must make Yanyan feel troubled."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes at her and said bluntly, "Your Yanyan is even smarter than a thousand-year fox spirit. How can I find a peerless difficult question to make her feel troubled?"
