The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 57: Major Social Death Scene (Please Follow)

Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Major Social Death Scene (Please Follow)

Seeing the other party knocking non-stop, Zhou Qing, with his hair disheveled, didn’t even have time to wipe the crust from his eyes, wearing boxer shorts and scratching his butt, went out.

"Third Senior Brother, my chickens haven’t even crowed yet, and you’re here so early..."

As soon as Zhou Qing said this, he froze.

In front of him, nearly punching him in the nose, Yan Xiaohu was full of excitement, his small eyes shining. Not only that, he was wearing a brand new outfit that he usually felt reluctant to wear.

His round face was smeared shiny and was emitting a fragrance.

Of course, this was not the main point.

The main point was that in the courtyard, almost all the core disciples had gathered, including several Peak Masters, his Master Mo Xingjian, and Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang.

For a moment, both sides stared at each other.

The next moment, many of the senior sisters immediately covered their mouths and laughed.

Zhou Qing’s face turned red blush in an instant, his right hand stiffly stretched out from behind his butt. At this moment, he really wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

It was a major public embarrassment.

"I sent you many messages, and you didn’t reply. We had no choice, so everyone came here," Yan Xiaohu whispered.

Hehe—

You dressed like a decent person and dragged me out to embarrass me?

Or perhaps to highlight yourself?

Third Senior Brother, this is the end of our brotherly bond.

[Heart Mirror Points +5]

In the crowd, Lu Yaoyao was smiling broadly, and the "Responsible" label above her head instantly turned into "Natural."

[Heart Mirror Points +6]

Li Daoxuan looked displeased, and the note above his head changed from "Unlikable Playboy" to "Embarrassing Playboy."

[Heart Mirror Points +7]

Sister Shi Zhen smiled tenderly, showing a loving look. Her note shifted from "Brother Zhou Who Never Abandoned" to "Down-to-earth Zhou."

Zhou Qing’s face twitched slightly, and his toes scratched the ground randomly.

Master Mo Xingjian lowered his head, seemingly searching for something on the ground.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Sect Leader Cao Zhengyang coughed lightly and stepped forward to explain, "Zhou Qing, here’s the thing. Originally, we planned to hold a proper commendation meeting to encourage more people to follow your example."

"But after much discussion, we felt it was inappropriate to make a big deal out of it. After all, we suffered heavy losses this time. We should remember this lesson rather than celebrate it."

"Moreover, since our enemies are still unclear, and you foiled their long-prepared plans, if we were to reward you openly, they might retaliate. Of course, losing face is a small matter; the main concern is your safety. Do you understand what I’m saying?"

Cao Zhengyang patiently explained.

Zhou Qing certainly understood and appreciated the sect’s good intentions.

However, however—

I’m mainly feeling very embarrassed right now. Could you at least give me some mental preparation?

Cao Zhengyang continued, "But the reward is necessary. Otherwise, it would chill your hearts, especially you, Zhou Qing, since your contribution was the greatest this time. Therefore, we decided to make it simple internally. You weren’t reachable, so we came here."

Zhou Qing forced a smile and said, "Then I’ll go change my clothes."

"No need to be so formal. We’re all family here. After the reward, we elders have important matters to attend to."

Cao Zhengyang said, stepping forward to stand on Zhou Qing’s left.

Beside them, Yan Xiaohu straightened his clothes, stood tall and proud on the right, his face full of excitement.

Sandwiched in the middle, Zhou Qing stood disheveled, with crusts on the corners of his eyes, bare-chested, and wearing boxer shorts, looking at his masters and senior brothers and sisters, feeling utterly hopeless.

Did I really make the greatest contribution this time?

Why do I feel like I’m being publicly executed?

Besides, I’m not happy at all.

Dreaming?

Yes, I must be dreaming, and it’s an unimaginable nightmare!

Zhou Qing kept mumbling in his heart, thinking of the system notification earlier, quickly opening his personal panel.

[Talent Skills: Heart Mirror Vision—LV3 (3/300)]

[Bound People: 8]

Seeing Heart Mirror Vision upgraded to Level 3 with the bound users increased by three, Zhou Qing realized that this was not a dream.

At that moment, Cao Zhengyang looked at everyone and slowly began to speak, "Alright, let me take this opportunity to say a few words. What two words? Just talk about this search for people; let’s review our past. Have we grown in our daily training? Do we have any new prospects for the future? Right?"

Zhou Qing felt his ears buzzing and his mind blank, especially as some senior sisters kept staring at his boxer shorts, occasionally whispering and giggling.

Zhou Qing felt he was about to lose his reputation again.

Then he looked at the Golden Sun Peak Master Gao Xuan standing ahead and immediately performed a binding.

Soon, Gao Xuan’s label above his head changed from "???" to two golden characters—"Dead Man."

Zhou Qing’s face instantly turned pale.

Especially seeing Gao Xuan’s Master looking at him with a smile, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Dead man? He’s looking at a dead man? Why does he have this impression of me?"

Generally speaking, we have almost no interaction. Even if you’re an imposter, we have no direct conflict of interest...

Wait—

Suddenly, Zhou Qing seemed to realize something.

Right now, why he received the reward was because he accidentally foiled the plans of Cangyan Daoist Palace and some unknown force.

If there’s any conflict of interest, it would be this.

Could this imposter Gao Xuan Master be from Cangyan Daoist Palace or that other force?

Yes, it must be this way, which is why he hates me.

Behind his smiling facade, he wishes to crush me instantly.

Too frightening! How long have those two forces planned this?

And have other masters been secretly harmed?

After all, I accidentally discovered the true Gao Xuan Master had already fallen by identifying that bloody stone.

If I were this imposter, over the years, I would have had plenty of opportunities to invite other Peak Masters for a mission, then ambush and kill them, replacing them one by one.

Thinking this, Zhou Qing felt a dry mouth and even developed goosebumps.

It turned out the seemingly peaceful Taiqing Sect was full of hidden dangers.

Especially now, Gao Xuan wanted to kill him, which was his greatest crisis at the moment.

Urgently, he had to think of a way to save himself.

"Go on, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, Yan Xiaohu elbowed Zhou Qing, whispering.

Coming back to his senses, Zhou Qing noticed that Master was standing in front of them, handing each of them a delicate box.

Yan Xiaohu had already received his happily, but Zhou Qing was still stunned.

"Th-thank you, Master!" Zhou Qing hurriedly accepted it.

Then, Cao Zhengyang encouraged everyone a bit, and the matter was over. He originally wanted Mo Xingjian to come forward and say a few words, but Old Mo smiled and refused, just asking Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu to keep up the good work.

At that point, everyone began to disperse, returning to their homes and finding their mothers.

"Senior Brother Zhou, you are so prominent today!" Lu Yaoyao ran up, sincerely saying, her eyes full of admiration.

Zhou Qing chuckled.

"Practice more muscle, you’re as skinny as a rib," Li Daoxuan couldn’t help but say.

"When you have time, let’s treat the two benefactors to a meal," Sister Shi Zhen said with a smile.

Yan Xiaohu immediately licked his lips, saying, "How about today? I’m in a good mood."

"I’m not in the mood," Zhou Qing went straight indoors.

Besides the embarrassment, a Peak Master had sentenced him to death; how could he eat?
