“Fine, as long as you like it.” Headmaster Mo shook her head helplessly and turned to ask, “Your name is Mu Yanxi? Do you and Yun’er know each other?”
“Yes, Sect Leader, we could say we’re acquainted,” Mu Yanxi said with a bitter smile.
She didn’t mention that she was originally Shangguan Yun’s fiancé; that was a matter from years ago, and saying it now would only cause more embarrassment.
“Well, I don’t care about your past. Congratulations on being chosen by Yun’er. This is a great opportunity for you. I hope you can cherish it and work hard to be worthy of her. Don’t hold her back,” Headmaster Mo said.
Her words clearly showed her disdain for Mu Yanxi. After all, she had barely made it into the elite class, just scraping by the threshold.
In Headmaster Mo’s eyes, she would actually hinder Shangguan Yun’s progress in double cultivation.
“You don’t need to tell me that; I will work hard on my own. My goal is immortality cultivation,” Mu Yanxi said neither humbly nor arrogantly. If possible, she didn’t even want to use a method like double cultivation.
Mu Yanxi’s firm words caught Headmaster Mo by surprise. Acknowledging the girl’s steadfast Heart of Dao, she nodded and said, “Then go stand by Yun’er’s side. Next, Shi Yuzhi.”
Mu Yanxi walked over to stand next to Shangguan Yun. Her former fiancée showed no reaction and sent no telepathic messages. Mu Yanxi couldn’t even guess what she was thinking, so she just stood there quietly.
Next, a woman with a fit and curvaceous physique walked onto the platform. Strong and well-proportioned muscles were visible on her arms and thighs. She had fiery red hair and golden pupils, radiating a powerful sense of beauty.
Her physical condition made her look like a physical cultivator at a glance. Whispers broke out among the girls below. “Shi Yuzhi? It couldn’t be Shi Yuzhi, right?”
“With that hair color — it really is him?” “You know her?”
“She was the number one student in our entire Chu Sect.” “You’re from the Qingling martial sect, right? Why would a physical cultivator come to the Spiritual Moon Sect?”
“I don’t know. Her grades were high enough to enter a heaven grade body sect. Besides, she used to be a man.”
Mu Yanxi couldn’t help but steal a few more glances at this fit woman. ‘So she used to be a man as well; no wonder her features look a bit rugged.’
Theoretically, a physical cultivator shouldn’t come to a double cultivation Sect like the Spiritual Moon Sect.
Putting aside the fact that her strength allowed her to enter any heaven-grade High Sect, physical cultivators placed great importance on blood energy and physique.
Both would be eroded by carnal desires, so physical cultivators generally avoided double cultivation.
Shi Yuzhi strode onto the stage. Without saying much, she looked directly at an elegant woman in the Assembly Hall and said, “I choose Liu Quan to be my double cultivation partner.”
That woman was a classical beauty with fair skin and long black hair held up by a hairpin. She seemed to come from a noble background.
Upon hearing Shi Yuzhi choose her, her face turned pale. She stood up and shouted, “No! Shi Yuzhi, give it up! I will never submit to you!”
“Since I specifically transferred to the Spiritual Moon Sect, it’s no longer up to you.” Shi Yuzhi grinned and turned to Headmaster Mo. “You promised me when you recruited me.”
“Of course, a promise is a promise.” Headmaster Mo smiled and stood up, looking at Liu Quan.
“You have no right to refuse. The sect rules state that the top ten disciples can choose their double cultivation partner as they wish.”
“The chosen one cannot refuse unless they can prove they have the strength of the top ten. If you fail, however, you will be punished according to the sect rules.”
Liu Quan’s face turned ashen, and she slumped back into her chair. She knew she had no room to resist, while Shi Yuzhi wore a triumphant smile.
