Sect Master Yin Changsong pondered for a moment before speaking gravely.
“I understand.”
“Continue having someone keep an eye on her.”
“If you catch any evidence that she’s been deceiving the sect or that her actual strength doesn’t match her apparent ability, strip her of her status as an Inner Sect disciple and send her back to the Outer Sect as a servant disciple.”
Elder Sun responded respectfully,
“Yes.”
Xie Zhengxing had no idea that someone would be monitoring her from this point onward.
After stacking the pieces of the bed she had chopped apart neatly against the courtyard wall, she returned to her room and took out her Smart Sleeping Bed from the system inventory, placing it where the old bed had once stood.
High technology really was wonderful.
Even after working so intensely and sweating so much earlier, the swarm of nano-scale cleaning robots kept her entire body perfectly clean and dry.
The feeling…
Was comparable to having an experienced bathhouse attendant in Northeast China give her an incredibly thorough scrub.
Xie Zhengxing happily climbed onto the bed, pulled the thin blanket over herself, and quickly drifted off to sleep in the warm, comfortable bedding.
The next day.
Right on schedule, Xie Zhengxing started her livestream.
The instant the livestream interface lit up, one bright red donation notification after another floated across the screen.
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate】: Donated two bottles of 『Gene Enhancement Serum (Constitution Version)』.
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate】: Donated one pair of 『Anti-Gravity Winged Combat Boots』.
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate】: Donated one 『Quantum Sonar Detection Earring』.
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate】: Donated one 『Adaptive Camouflage Suit』.
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate】: Hahahahahahaha!! Streamer! I’ve made it! I was specially recruited by the United Interstellar Fleet! General Selas personally picked me! That’s right—the very same Five-Star General from your livestream! Thanks to you, I was able to meet him! Your livestream is literally my lucky launchpad, and you’re my Goddess of Fortune herself! This afternoon I’m jumping three hundred and fifty billion light-years with the fleet to explore an undeveloped planet! Once I return victorious, I’ll definitely bring you even better donations!
【Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate】: (Death Smile.jpg) What are you all talking about? The General obviously appreciated my talent, which is why he made an exception and allowed me to serve under him.
Without waiting for Xie Zhengxing to respond, Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate flooded the chat with another screen full of exuberant “Hahahahahaha!” before logging out at lightning speed and disappearing from the livestream.
The longtime viewers who had witnessed yesterday’s “special attention” incident all fell silent for a moment.
【Your Strong One Has Arrived】: …
【Awake at 3 A.M.】: Um… has anyone considered the possibility… that he wasn’t appreciated, but rather… “placed under special supervision”?
【Exotic Beast Enthusiast】: Poor kid. As long as he’s happy.
【Even Passing Dogs Get Kicked】: This must be… the legendary cosmic-level obliviousness.
【Xiaoxiao】: May the sandstorms of that barren planet awaken him. (Hands clasped in prayer.)
Xie Zhengxing also clasped her hands together and looked devoutly toward the sky.
“Amen.”
“May all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and heavenly deities bless Boss Ha.”
Don’t ask why her prayer mixed so many different religions together.
Her philosophy was simple.
The broader the faith…
The greater the chance someone would answer.
Although Luck Can’t Save the Unlucky, Spending Won’t Change Fate had left…
The mysterious Five-Star user hadn’t returned either.
Xie Zhengxing guessed that he had genuinely departed to lead the fleet’s expedition to that undeveloped planet three hundred and fifty billion light-years away.
She only felt a tiny bit disappointed before all of her attention was immediately drawn toward the dazzling new gifts sitting inside her system inventory.
Boss Ha’s farewell presents were…
Seriously.
Amazing.
The Anti-Gravity Winged Combat Boots.
Even the name sounded incredibly cool.
The boots themselves were sleek and silver-white.
The moment Xie Zhengxing slipped them on, a faint glow spread across their surface.
Immediately afterward…
They automatically transformed to match her plain servant disciple robes, becoming what appeared to be an ordinary pair of white ankle boots.
The comfort level was perfect.
Xie Zhengxing cautiously gave a small hop inside her courtyard.
Whoosh!
Her entire body instantly shot more than ten meters into the air.
She floated effortlessly above the ground.
With a single thought, she glided around the courtyard at low altitude.
She moved so quickly that only a blurry afterimage remained behind her.
Her long hair streamed through the air.
Her robes fluttered gracefully.
Landing steadily back on the ground, Xie Zhengxing couldn’t help feeling delighted.
These are way cooler than Chu Moyun’s flying sword.
Just then—
Knock. Knock.
Someone knocked on the courtyard gate.
Xie Zhengxing “floated” over to the entrance and opened the door.
Standing outside was Du Xinbao.
His face was filled with curiosity and anticipation.
“Xingxing, want to go?”
“The Dao Comprehension Hall has a sect elder giving a lecture on the Qingjing Jing today.”
“Let’s listen together.”
Du Xinbao lived roughly two kilometers away.
It was obvious he had intentionally made a detour just to invite her.
Xie Zhengxing politely declined this top student’s invitation, explaining that she already had other plans.
After seeing him off…
She stepped into her new boots once more and continued leisurely touring the major halls of the Shanghui Sect together with her interstellar family.
Meanwhile…
Inside one of the sect halls.
The disciple assigned to monitor Xie Zhengxing reported in a meticulous tone.
“Sect Elder.”
“Today, Xie Zhengxing once again performed no regular cultivation or coursework.”
“Instead, she wandered aimlessly throughout the sect all day.”
Seated above, Elder Sun let out a disdainful snort.
“Lazy.”
“Undisciplined.”
“A hopeless case.”
“Continue watching.”
Over the next several days…
The monitoring disciple’s daily reports became practically a showcase of ‘Xie Zhengxing’s Most Ridiculous Antics.’
“Sect Elder!”
“Today, Xie Zhengxing performed no regular cultivation or coursework.”
“Instead, she secretly watched the male disciples training their bodies at Azure Ripple Pool.”
“Sect Elder!”
“Today, Xie Zhengxing performed no regular cultivation or coursework.”
“Instead, she dug up several ornamental Moonlight Orchids from the flowerbeds outside the Spiritual Herb Garden and replanted them in her own courtyard.”
“Sect Elder!”
“Today, Xie Zhengxing performed no regular cultivation or coursework.”
“Instead, she caught three low-grade Spirit Feather wild chickens in the back mountain, built a fire in her courtyard, and held a barbecue.”
“Sect Elder!”
“Not only did she barbecue for herself…”
“She also invited several newly promoted disciples from her examination batch to join her for a small barbecue feast.”
With every report…
Elder Sun’s face grew increasingly livid.
Inside High Heaven Hall.
Elder Sun was sternly reporting everything to Sect Master Yin Changsong.
“Sect Master.”
“These are all of Xie Zhengxing’s actions over the past several days.”
“This old man believes that this disciple is lazy, pleasure-seeking, and completely devoid of ambition!”
“Now she’s even influencing and corrupting other proper disciples.”
“She must be punished!”
Yin Changsong frowned deeply after hearing the report.
This female disciple truly had gone too far.
She didn’t resemble a cultivator in the slightest.
Instead…
She behaved like an idle, carefree young heir with nothing better to do.
After contemplating for a long while, Yin Changsong slowly spoke.
“In that case…”
“Have her accompany several Foundation Establishment senior brothers and senior sisters to the Gulolin Realm to exterminate demons.”
“After she has suffered a little…”
“Strip her of her status as an Inner Sect disciple and send her back to the Outer Sect to cultivate properly.”
“The Inner Sect is not a place for idlers.”
“Those who are lazy and unwilling to improve cannot be allowed to remain.”
“Otherwise…”
“One rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel.”
