Chapter 736: Study Hard!

…

Wang Dagen had encountered all sorts of things before, yet Su Qinian's latest demand still sent an icy shiver racing along his back.

Was this damn thing even reasonable?

He fixed his gaze on the washing machine and the pair of alluring female cultivators perched inside its enchanted chamber, his thoughts momentarily blanking out.

Even so, as a true expert in his field, Wang Dagen swiftly examined the interior of the washing-machine artifact and soon formed a rough idea for its redesign in his mind.

“So, you're hoping to savor your dao companion’s attentions right while operating the artifact?”

“Exactly.” Su Qinian gave a serious nod. “As folks age, they chase after higher standards of living. Be it in eating, dressing, dwelling, or traveling, the greater the comfort, the better.”

“I… I get it.” Wang Dagen's lips quirked in a twitch.

Observe that earnest little look on his face.

If you weren't in the know, you'd swear he was chatting about something completely dignified...

He resolved to enlarge the washing-machine artifact's inner area.

However, the enlargement would focus primarily beneath Su Qinian’s waistline. The extra room wouldn't serve as a mere side pocket realm for storage; rather, it would form a genuine broadened interior forged within the artifact via arrays.

This area could readily conceal a single individual.

Regarding the purpose of that area—well, every guy holds his private opinions.

Anyone could figure it out.

“Wang Sect Master, I trust in your skills. You'll surely get some rewards down the line,” Su Qinian remarked with a sly, lustful smirk.

The mention of “rewards” instantly wiped away Wang Dagen’s disdain for Su Qinian, and he shot back an equally sly, lustful grin. “Heh heh! Absolutely, no issue at all. Elder Su, hang tight and watch. I'll craft you a handy, user-friendly artifact that lets you indulge whenever and wherever you please!”

Su Qinian realized the deal was sealed upon catching Wang Dagen’s response.

He promptly began picturing a joyful future.

Yet, just a moment afterward, a hand tapped his shoulder.

“Elder Su, what’s going on~”

That well-known voice caused Su Qinian to tremble from head to toe, his complexion draining to white in a flash.

He whirled about and plastered on a grin. “Ahem ahem, Sect Master~ Sect Master, what brings you here?”

As he performed for Li Qingran, he signaled with his eyes for Wang Dagen to quickly stash away his artifact.

Though Li Qingran held Nascent Soul cultivation, and he himself commanded the superior Unity Realm, the difference amounted to just one key stage. Li Qingran’s position and gifts were plain to see—a person under twenty with that level of power wasn't one he could lord over lightly.

Li Qingran observed Su Qinian’s shifty, conscience-stricken behavior with mild interest.

Her eyes drifted to the female cultivators Su Qinian had arrived with—each old enough to claim her as a granddaughter, their power lingering near Nascent Soul. All appeared fragile and finely endowed. One had to admit, Elder Su possessed talent in selecting partners.

Surrounded by so many female followers, yet displaying guilt before the Bliss Sect.

Li Qingran's gaze sharpened as she pieced together the cause.

Who could have imagined a Unity Realm expert facing such... shortcomings—no surprise he seemed so uneasy.

However, as Sect Master, she ought to spare the sect elder some dignity. Feigning unawareness, she clasped her hands toward Su Qinian and stated, “It’s not me who seeks you. Master wishes for your presence, mentioning a vital topic to cover.”

“The ancestor summons me?!” Su Qinian stood stunned, jabbing a finger at his chest. “Why not just transmit a divine-sense note from the ancestor?”

Li Qingran lifted her hands in a shrug. “No idea~”

“Fine, with a senior calling...” Su Qinian truly wished to witness his artifact's enhancement, but Chen Huaian’s call took clear priority. He addressed the two radiant beauties trailing him, “You ladies stay put and chat with the Sect Master. I'll return shortly.”

With those words, he mounted his sword and streaked away, disappearing in an instant.

Just the two lovely female cultivators lingered, directing at Li Qingran smiles filled with awe and unease.

Who exactly was Li Qingran?

She served as the secluded pupil of Cangyun Realm's foremost figure.

Rumors held that the unrivaled Sword Master had taken only Li Qingran under his wing.

Innumerable geniuses had pleaded to study beneath that Sword Master, only to face rejection.

Moreover, Li Qingran didn't merely lead the Moon Shadow Sect—she boasted extraordinary aptitude, and her beauty along with her form knew no rivals.

Cultivators across the Cangyun Realm secretly maintained a “beauty ranking,” assembled during idle moments post-training. Li Qingran dominated it with overwhelming support—she represented an ideal beyond most cultivators' reach.

Should Elder Su remain nearby, these women might venture closer to her.

Absent Su Qinian, who had the nerve to utter a word?

Li Qingran occasionally peeked at the two quiet female cultivators with their heads bowed.

Outwardly, she projected a calm, aloof vibe, though inwardly she squirmed with discomfort.

Social interactions unnerved her somewhat, and these two were Elder Su’s dao companions.

They shared truly little ground... she hardly could broach ways to ensure a dao companion's compliance, right?

Yet from a distance, Wang Dagen tinkering with the washing-machine artifact caught Li Qingran’s attention, lighting up her eyes.

She had crossed paths with Wang Dagen several times previously, always via her master’s introductions.

Wang Dagen’s straightforward, unpretentious look rendered him easy to approach, making conversation with him far less taxing.

Furthermore...

The Bliss Sect undoubtedly housed elixirs and sacred arts that could aid her master through dual cultivation, correct?

Contemplating gains for her master dissolved Li Qingran’s unease in social settings, prompting her to head toward Wang Dagen.

“Can’t see me… can’t see me… can’t see me…”

Wang Dagen persisted in acting oblivious to the washing-machine artifact, though perspiration dotted his brow as he whispered to himself.

He had already sensed Li Qingran’s stare and could merely hope she overlooked him.

But the harder he evaded notice, the more it loomed unavoidable.

Li Qingran approached regardless.

Panic gripped him—what if she deemed him involved in dubious dealings, poisoning Elder Su’s thoughts and endangering the Moon Shadow Sect’s heritage? Such incidents had occurred in the past; he maintained the Bliss Sect’s purity, yet rival sects viewed it otherwise!

Despite this lewd device originating from Elder Su’s own bidding.

“Wang Sect Master!” Li Qingran’s clear, pleasant voice rang out from behind.

Wang Dagen went rigid, half his frame turning slack.

He pivoted clumsily, wearing a strained smile. “Ah… ahaha, Sect Master Li.

What commands do you bring? Should this humble one handle it, I’ll exert every effort to assist!”

This humble one was indeed a lesser figure.

Wang Dagen had yet to attain Unity Realm, and the Bliss Sect emphasized non-martial pursuits.

Were he compelled to clash with Li Qingran, a handful of strikes would likely floor him.

“Your sect’s heritage items intrigue me.” Li Qingran composed her lovely features, suppressing any flush of shame, and declared firmly, “Yet they belong to your sect. Absent your permission, I can’t simply enter and browse. Therefore—”

Therefore what? Wang Dagen went still.

Did she intend to raze the Bliss Sect’s doctrines once she inspected them?

He steeled himself for the reprimand.

Then the strikingly beautiful youth before him spoke in a thoroughly formal manner:

“I seek a pass, allowing me entry to your Bliss Sect’s Scripture Hall and Pill Refining Pavilion for a proper study!”
