"That is such a precious opportunity to slap some faces and leave the biggest impression on everybody else ! Incredible ! You truly are a godsend Xuhan. How do you even think of these ideas ?"
"I uh-" Han Xuhan wanted to say that it was Kong Ye who had refused to cut down a portion of his ...
The Celestial Gateway technique was not particularity complicated in comparison to most of the techniques Xuhan was familiar with. But it was unique in the sense that he could neither test nor raise his proficiency in it by cooping up inside his hut all by himself and burning resources.

I'm a fattie? " Xiao Wu asked gloomily.
"Ahaha that was a joke, come on!"
Han Xuhan waved his hands emphatically, a wooden smile struggling to stay afloat on his face.
"Now what's this weight thingy? How does that change the predicament of the smaller sects?"
Xiao Wu t...
"Really, Xuhan? What were you doing last night if you weren't studying THIS?" Xiao Wu grumbled in a displeased tone, his hands constantly moving around trying to point at the entirety of his handiwork at the same time.
As it had turned out, the strange details Han Xuhan had noticed on his...
Since the amount of new chapters this month was nowhere near satisfactory, I've paused this month's payment as well . I'm officially back to regular releases from next week, the start of May .
Good day .
"So. . . ."
"He did not exactly lie ," Xuan Zi answered the unasked question, his eyes gloomy .
"Did your new mind reading technique tell you that?"
"It's nowhere as sophisticated as mind reading, Fang Xie . The elders in this sect aren't some genius sons of heaven . Being ab...
"With all that cleared up, what do you exactly want me to do ? I'm talking about those tasks you mentioned, senior Xie . What would I be doing, exactly ? What's the point of those tasks ?" Han Xuhan asked, feeling mentally fatigued by then .
"Ah, what you'll be doing is information best k...
"Sounds very interesting . Why don't you elaborate a bit more, disciple ?" Xuan Zi walked back to his seat and said without a pause .
"I believe you remember the strange disappearance of the Pine town, sect master . It vanished without a trace in a single night ."
"And you're trying...
". . .Me ? Connected to the failure of this senior's heavenly tribulation ?" Xuhan tried to laugh despite the furious thumping in his chest .
"Sect master, that sounds a bit far fetched, don't you think ?"
Fang Xie silently stared at him with maximum possible intensity in his gaze . Xu...
"So you're telling me that, in order for you to not brutally mutilate me to death, I'll have to work for you and do some risky, nasty jobs during the tournament, yes ?"
"Mm, I don't quite remember saying the last bit of your sentence but sure ! As long as you're willing, I'll make you do s...
Might have caught a serious strain of covid again . The entire region is about to go red zone mode and the officials decided to push a bunch of semester finals in order to make up for the lost time last year .
So I'm going to turn off the monthly payment thingy again for as long as I don't re...
Hello there, young man ! How goes the supply deal ?" The man asked very casually .
". . . ." Wordlessly, Xuhan started backing away from the door . The man didn't look surprised at his reaction . He stood on the doorstep and observed Xuhan with a calm expression .
"Fang Xie, quit sc...
"Another load of supply ? Damn, you're burning through resources at a speed to match me...almost ," Xuhan remarked thoughtfully .
"Which shouldn't be unexpected considering no one's cultivation is going to stay stagnant for a long time at our cultivation levels . Many of my ser-friends hav...
Kong Ye turned to look at Xuhan, seemingly puzzled .
"Yes . Is there a problem ?"
"....Why...why do you expect us to memorize it ? Are we lacking in paper and ink, master ?"
"Suit yourself . But I highly discourage this habit of yours, disciple . You can't carry your manuals ...
"Right now, there is an even more important task for you to tackle . You can put off these manuals for another day . Because...."
Stretching out the last word, Kong Ye picked out one scroll from the stacks and pushed it forward on the table .
The four disciples leaned forward toget...
Han Xuhan had a nonplussed look on his face as he surveyed the faces of his peers for some hints as to how to react to Kong Ye's declaration , because he didn't trust his own brain to come up with an appropriate reaction .
Then he came to a sudden realization about what he had just done .

"Well well well, what a pleasant surprise ! It seems unnecessary to further drag things out under the guise of secrecy when all four of you seem to have decided to come clean to each other and pursue the same skills ! You, Mu Ran, you're the only one who hasn't yet expressed the urge to tackle mu...

"Goodbye, master ," Xuhan said after cupping his fists respectfully .
"May the heavens be kind to you, master ," Yuen Zhou added after him .
"We'll miss your constant, warm presence, master ," Xiao Wu mechanically followed the trail with his line .
"We'll be back soon, master...
"Underling Xuhan, what's gonna happen if the elder sect master appoints me to cannot teach me astral warfare ? That's the only skill I want to learn right now ! I can't waste my time on whatever mundane shit the elder tries to teach me !" Mu Ran furiously whispered behind Xuhan's ears, his tone p...

The sight of dawn made him appreciate life and its beauty in all sorts of new ways after spending a sleepless night inside his hut .
Since nobody was coming—<...
Han Xuhan walked back to his hut following Yuen Zhou and Xiao Wu's departure, not close enough for them to notice what he was doing, nor far enough for them to not know where he was at the moment .
The road that led to their huts was a twisty one, giving him plenty of chances to play out ...
With great familiarity, Xuan Zi cast a spell that hid his existence from any prying eyes and astral senses . Standing inside the small stretch of woods between two of the uninhabited mountain peaks just at the edge of his sect's area, he carefully observed the disciple handling the issue on his b...

Right now I'm typing this and grinning goofily , feeling all sorts of emotions, mostly pride and gratitude.
We've come so far! 100 chapters, 180k words, this is beyond anything I've written so far , or even made a realistic plan to . But we're still going strong !...
The day was as bright as Xuhan's expression , with dark clouds splattered on the sky like ketchup and the sun too busy chilling somewhere at the west horizon .
The meeting with Mu Ran had left him with some issues that he'd been afraid of ever since the day he had started calling him 'bos...
I tried to make a discord channel for everyone's convenience . It's a simple cookie cutter channel for me to announce when the next chapter will be published ( E. G . Next 30 - 48 hours ) , publish some snippets of drafts in advance if it's a particularly long chapter that's taking up too much ti...
