The senior brother and junior sister had just left Clear Breeze Peak when they saw several blushing female disciples running over.
[I, why does this look like they’re coming for Second Senior Brother?]
Pei Yan saw them too. Looking at those female disciples with infatuated smiles, he immediately thought of something and felt a chill run down his spine.
[For someone with Second Senior Brother’s looks, it’s only natural that he’d be popular among the female disciples. I heard there’s a little notebook among the female disciples—a ranking of the male disciples’ appearances in the sect. It has names, portraits, heights, weights, cultivation levels… everything, detailed to the extreme!]
Listening to his junior sister’s inner thoughts, Pei Yan felt even more chills, his whole body going numb.
What’s the difference between that and stripping someone bare? Too crazy.
[Besides the handsome ranking, there’s also an ugly ranking! Tang Qing once accidentally picked up a copy and was so furious when he saw himself ranked first that his face turned green.]
Pei Yan: I want to laugh… I can’t hold it in…
Soon, the female disciples ran up to the senior brother and junior sister, their faces flushed.
“Senior Sisters, is something the matter?”
Jun Lanyue sneakily glanced at the large and small bags in their hands, smiling politely but also brimming with curiosity.
[So many things—if I’m not mistaken, they’re all food. Either bought after waiting in line for half a day in Cloud City or made by hand themselves. Full of sincerity!]
“Mm-hmm.”
The female disciples nodded with red faces, stealing shy glances at Pei Yan before lowering their heads in embarrassment.
What else could such looks mean?
[Look at those shy glances just now—seems like they’re all admirers of my Second Senior Brother! Hehehe~]
Pei Yan: “…”
“Junior Sister, this is a gift for you. I hope you like it!”
One of the female disciples shoved a gift box into Jun Lanyue’s hands, then covered her face and ran away shyly.
The others did the same, stuffing their things into Jun Lanyue’s arms before running off.
Holding a pile of gifts, Jun Lanyue stood bewildered in the wind.
[What? What’s going on?]
Pei Yan, who had been dreading this moment and had prepared ten thousand ways to refuse, couldn’t help but laugh.
It seemed the one radiating charm wasn’t him, the Second Senior Brother!
“Second Senior Brother, those Senior Sisters must have made a mistake!” Jun Lanyue carefully crouched down, organizing the gifts one by one before shoving them into Pei Yan’s arms. “Their gifts were meant for you, but they got nervous and gave them to me instead.”
[That’s right, my reasoning is flawless. It must be this way!]
“Mm.” Pei Yan smiled, his dimples looking exceptionally charming. “Whatever Junior Sister says is right.”
After the first wave of female disciples, Jun Lanyue remained convinced her deduction was correct.
But after the second wave, the third, the fourth, the fifth…
She had no idea how many waves came, and she was completely dumbfounded.
“Does Junior Sister still think those junior sisters were coming for Second Senior Brother?”
Pei Yan laughed loudly, with a hint of schadenfreude.
“Why are you laughing so loudly, Second Senior Brother?” With too many things to carry, Jun Lanyue couldn’t let her senior brother hold them all, so she organized everything and stored it in her Storage Ring. “Maybe the Senior Sisters just wanted to win me over this way, then get closer to you all through me!”
【This reasoning is flawless once again. Those senior sisters are genuinely straight in their orientation. If Second Senior Brother dares to laugh at me again, I’ll sell the Elixirs he refines to the senior sisters next time and keep all the money for myself, hmph!】
Pei Yan: The Elixirs I refine are meant for Little Junior Sister. Little Junior Sister can use them for whatever she wants.
From a distance, Jun Lanyue noticed that the senior sisters who had given her gifts hadn’t left yet.
They were sitting far away, chatting and laughing, occasionally glancing in her direction.
【The opportunity has come!】
“Second Senior Brother, wait here for me. I’m going to chat with those senior sisters for a bit.”
She could tell that her Second Senior Brother was still quite resistant to those senior sisters, so she decided not to bring him along.
Seeing Jun Lanyue approaching them, the female disciples quickly stopped their chatter.
“Hello, senior sisters.” Jun Lanyue, being naturally sociable, greeted them and sat down. “I saw you chatting happily over there just now. Were you talking about my Second Senior Brother?”
A woman’s intuition told her it couldn’t possibly be about her.
The female disciples exchanged glances and nodded. “Yes.”
“So, senior sisters, where does my Second Senior Brother rank on the sect’s looks ranking?”
Jun Lanyue continued to cozy up to them.
Surprised that she already knew about this despite just arriving at the Mysterious Heaven Sect, the female disciples thought for a moment. One of them secretly pulled out a small notebook.
She flipped to the page with Pei Yan’s name. “He’s currently ranked third. Everyone is still voting privately, so he might rise to second place.”
After showing it to Jun Lanyue, the female disciple quickly put the notebook away.
“Who are the second and first place holders?” Jun Lanyue acted as if she were deeply curious, pitifully clinging to the female disciple’s arm and shaking it pleadingly. “Senior Sister, let me take a look!”
Who wouldn’t love such an adorable and well-behaved junior sister? Especially one who was also very good-looking.
The female disciple quickly succumbed to Jun Lanyue’s charm. With a grand gesture, she handed the notebook to Jun Lanyue. “Little Junior Sister, I’m giving this to you. Take it back and look through it slowly.”
Jun Lanyue held the small notebook in her hands, looking pleasantly surprised.
“Thank you, Senior Sister. You’re so kind.”
She rubbed her head against the female disciple, nearly melting her heart.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the first place was likely First Senior Brother, and the second place was Third Senior Brother.
She could say without blushing that with her three senior brothers joining the Mysterious Heaven Sect, the original top three in the looks ranking would have to step aside, even without anyone judging them.
“So, senior sisters, why did you give me gifts?”
Jun Lanyue took it step by step, not yet ready to reveal her true purpose.
“We like you, Little Junior Sister. You’re beautiful and incredibly cute.” One female disciple smiled until her eyes curved like crescent moons, though she couldn’t help but quickly reveal her true intention. “It’s just… Little Junior Sister, could you possibly sell some of your Second Senior Brother’s merchandise in the future? We’d like to collect them.”
【See! I knew they were trying to get close to Second Senior Brother through me! It really takes a woman to understand another woman!】
“Of course, senior sisters! No problem!” Jun Lanyue made an “OK” gesture. “My Second Senior Brother is incredibly skilled at alchemy. One of these days, I’ll have him refine a type of Elixir that only he knows how to make. I’ll notify you all in advance when it’s time to sell them.”
Hearing that it would be an Elixir only Pei Yan could refine, and that they’d be notified in advance, the female disciples’ eyes lit up, and they all nodded eagerly in agreement.
Seeing that she had chatted with them enough, Jun Lanyue was about to get to the main point. “Senior sisters, can you find a way to go to Star Moon Peak and call Senior Sister Shen down for me? The Supreme Elder seems to really dislike me, so I don’t dare go.”
