Mu Yanxi really hadn’t expected Headmaster Mo to speak so bluntly.
Although everyone knew what kind of sect the Spiritual Moon Sect was, the fact that she spoke so clearly and directly only showed that Headmaster Mo wasn’t ashamed. On the contrary, she seemed to take pride in it.
This made Mu Yanxi feel very uncomfortable. As a famous righteous sect, the Magnificent Truth Sect taught its members to cultivate diligently and achieve immortality through their own strength.
In contrast, the Spiritual Moon Sect made the act of snaring a great expert sound so dignified and legitimate.
However, after thinking it over carefully, Mu Yanxi realized that what Headmaster Mo said seemed to be correct.
One didn’t even need to use the Interstellar Realm as an example; it was the same way even in Mu Yanxi’s past life.
It was perfectly normal for a high-level cultivator to have three wives and four concubines.
Those low-level female cultivators also believed that being able to engage in dual cultivation with a high-level cultivator was a massive opportunity.
Even if they couldn’t become a dao companion, being a concubine was acceptable.
This might even be the only way out for those low-level female cultivators with poor latent talent.
Otherwise, they would find it difficult to move an inch in the Cultivation Realm, where dangers lurked everywhere.
They could be kidnapped by a Robber Cultivator at any time to be used as a furnace for essence harvesting.
Although Mu Yanxin hadn’t interacted much with those rogue female cultivators back in the Magnificent Truth Sect during his past life, he had seen female disciples who were favored by the elders.
They would soar to the branches and become phoenixes, their cultivation reaching new heights because they engaged in dual cultivation with an elder and received their protection. Such examples were common.
Therefore, there really was nothing wrong with what Headmaster Mo said. It was just that the Magnificent Truth Sect hadn’t been so blunt about it in his past life. This concept was likely common knowledge among small sects and rogue cultivators.
At this point, Headmaster Mo’s speech was coming to an end. She finally said, “I will stop here for today. You will all need to work hard on your own in the future.”
“Now, let us welcome the top-scoring student among the new disciples, Shangguan Yun, to give a speech as the first-year representative.”
“Shangguan Yun?” Hearing that familiar name, Mu Yanxi immediately looked toward the podium. ‘This shouldn’t just be a coincidence,’ she thought. ‘Is my former fiancée actually the top disciple of the first-year class?’
A young girl with long, purple-pink-white gradient hair walked onto the stage. She was tall with long legs, and both her appearance and gait exuded elegance and nobility. She was born with a noble bloodline.
The girl wore the qipao of the Spiritual Moon Sect, but the butterfly pattern on her chest wasn’t red; it was crimson-gold, seemingly signifying her special status as the top disciple.
Most importantly, her aura was extremely powerful. Although she was still at the Qi Refining stage, Mu Yanxi felt that her presence wasn’t far off from the Golden Core stage. At the very least, she surpassed an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Shangguan Yun walked onto the podium. Surprisingly, her gaze drifted toward Mu Yanxi. The two locked eyes, and Mu Yanxi was certain that the girl was looking specifically at her, though she couldn’t read her emotions. ‘Did she recognize her former fiancé?’
“Is that young lady an acquaintance of yours?” Ruoxuan asked from the side. While others thought Shangguan Yun was just scanning the hall and had happened to pause there, Ruoxuan noticed that Shangguan Yun seemed to be looking at Mu Yanxi — especially since Mu Yanxi had just whispered her name.
“Uh, I suppose you could say I know her?” Mu Yanxi gave an ambiguous answer with a bitter smile. As a former fiancé, she ought to know her, but Mu Yanxi had no idea how the original owner of this body and Shangguan Yun had gotten along before.
“Teachers and fellow sisters, it is an honor to stand here as the first-year representative. As a disciple who previously trained at the Spiritual Moon Junior Sect for three years, I have some advice for everyone…” Shangguan Yun began her opening ceremony speech.
