Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1941 - 1943: Newcomers’ Dilemma (Second Update)
Zhong Lijing heard Teacher Mei say that besides living in the backyard, Elder Feng also has a residence in the south.
Her eyes shifted, and she hastily chased after, luckily she was wearing a pair of sneakers.
After coming to Luohua, Teacher Mei said the mountain roads were many here and mentioned cultivators shouldn’t focus too much on external items, refusing to let her wear semi-high heels, let alone high heels, which resulted in her, at 1.67 meters tall, being the "shorty" among the women!
Zhong Lijing felt aggrieved but didn’t dare not listen to Teacher Mei, though it’s much more convenient now.
She ran nearly half a mile, slightly panting, when suddenly someone appeared in front of her, "Xiao Zhong, stop, you shouldn’t come here."
Stopping her was none other than Gao Qiang, who wasn’t assigned anyone to coordinate with, so he came for guarding and cultivation.
Zhong Lijing, after brief training, also knew that the bamboo forest in that valley was a forbidden area, so she spoke with a smile, "Brother Qiang, I’m chasing after Elder Feng, not going to the valley, heading over there..."
Her finger pointed, and Gao Qiang understood, thus he nodded, "Alright, then go ahead, remember not to enter the valley when you come back."
Zhong Lijing ran with her long legs, Gao Qiang watched the slender back and sighed helplessly, muttering quietly, "Hejun, I advised you already, don’t have vain thoughts, this one isn’t your type either."
On An Hejun’s first day entering Luohua, he was shocked by the numerous beauties, not having settled down yet, he wondered if he could find a dual cultivation partner in Luohua — of course, besides dual cultivation, getting married in the mortal world would be even better.
He truly wasn’t harboring thoughts of playing around, in his mind, a dual cultivation partner is more sacred than a partner with a marriage certificate.
However, he also knew that this place couldn’t be messed with, first figuring out who’s taken.
When together with Gao Qiang, what he asked most wasn’t martial arts cultivation techniques, but this.
Gao Qiang also knew these talks couldn’t escape Elder Feng’s notice — if the elder wished to know, but he felt that helping An Hejun avoid making mistakes also helps reduce potential internal hazards in Luohua, the elder shouldn’t think he’s gossiping.
Thus he pointed out whom to avoid, skipping the older ones, among newcomers, including Yang Yuxi — that’s Yang Yuxin’s sister, Gu Jiahui’s aunt, don’t wish for her.
An Hejun fancied Zhong Lijing, of course, not yet calling it love, but merely speaking of Zhong Lijing’s looks, she truly possesses the quality of "love at first sight."
Gao Qiang advised him not to overthink, outside of Luohua, there are certainly girls prettier than Zhong Lijing, why search within Luohua?
Moreover, as Luohua’s people, enduring this period, once you’ve cultivated successfully, women in the world are yours to choose.
But An Hejun expressed, upon successful cultivation, will the women outside Luohua... appeal to me?
What they didn’t know was, after noticing their conversation, Feng Jun pondered: Is this internal growth... suitable?
According to Feng Jun’s experience working in the south, most companies there do not encourage employees to date each other, once discovered, surely one must resign.
Why do this? Dating within the company often breeds disadvantages.
But Feng Jun reconsidered, everyone in Luohua is cultivating, disciples finding fellow cultivators outside is really difficult.
Not finding another cultivator begs the question of shared language, just the lifespan disparity alone is vast.
While one remains to be in their prime, their partner has already passed away... how tragic is that?
Feng Jun felt that not encouraging nor promoting nor forbidding was the best choice.
If waiting for Daoist sects to prosper, when his disciples marry other beauties, it’ll be all the better.
Thus Feng Jun didn’t make a corresponding response, currently his divine sense could cover all of Zhengyang City, but things worthwhile of reaction are indeed few, these minor internal affairs aren’t important either.
Gao Qiang couldn’t guess all of Feng Jun’s thoughts, but most of the logic he still understood.
Now he fully understands, whether the elder has eyes for Zhong Lijing is hard to say, but Zhong Lijing determinedly chasing after the elder leaves him little to say — forbidding her from heading south?
Ultimately, the elder’s charm is irresistible to the average woman, however... average women can’t enter Luohua.
So brothers seeking partners could well look outside, not worried about finding a celestial beauty, but within Luohua... best to forget it.
Zhong Lijing broke into a jog, ran nearly a mile and a half, panting heavily, finally seeing Feng Jun’s tent.
Feng Jun already knew she chased after, feeling helpless and slightly delighted — this is truly a woman chasing a man.
So he called out to Yang Yuxin to make tea, then asked aloud, "Xiao Zhong, did you come for... something?"
Zhong Lijing essentially has a big heart. She glanced at Yang Yuxin, feeling that this woman looked a bit familiar, but she didn’t think much of it and directly expressed, "Boss, I want to live in the villa’s backyard."
Feng Jun had overheard her conversation with Good Scenery, "All the people living in the backyard are my women... Teacher Mei told you that."
"I can be your woman too," Zhong Lijing replied without hesitation.
Yang Yuxin was originally someone who was easy-going, but this girl gave her a strong sense of crisis, so she couldn’t help but interject, "Many girls think like that... but do you qualify to be his woman?"
"I think I’m qualified," Zhong Lijing answered confidently, "Sister, you’re at least three or four years older than me. Other than being a bit shorter, I’m not worse than you."
I’m three or four years older than you? Yang Yuxin’s mouth twitched: this is really the biggest compliment you could give me.
She was also once a girl, how could she not sense the other’s age? At most twenty-five or twenty-six.
But she was still unhappy, how could you call me old? So she solemnly said, "The things I do for him, you can’t do."
Zhong Lijing thought for a moment and then seriously replied, "I’m still young, I can learn slowly."
Saying I’m old again! Yang Yuxin glared at her, too lazy to speak, and picked up her tea to drink.
Zhong Lijing turned her head to Feng Jun, took a deep breath, and mustered the courage to say, "Boss, I want to live in the backyard."
After all, she was still young and felt embarrassed to speak too boldly.
Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, "Actually, what Teacher Mei said isn’t entirely accurate. Gu Jiahui also lives in the backyard, but she’s not my woman. The main thing about living in the backyard is being able to cultivate, and since you’re a newcomer, if you want to cultivate, you have to first..."
He originally wanted to say, "You need to be tested for five years first," but then thought of Luohua’s development speed, maybe it wouldn’t even take five years, "You need to pass the probationary period and make enough contributions to Luohua before considering cultivation."
Zhong Lijing wasn’t surprised by this statement. Teacher Mei had already told her that newcomers should focus on working seriously first, and cultivation would come later, "I know cultivation requires opportunities, so I can live in the backyard without cultivating for now."
Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh. Today’s young people are really bold, daring to think and do anything.
Feng Jun stared at Zhong Lijing for four or five seconds, then smiled, "You’re quite brave and confident, but it’s still not possible... In your group of eight, if only you enjoyed this treatment, it would be too unfair to others."
"But..." Zhong Lijing hesitated for a moment, then gathered her courage, "But I’m willing to be with you."
"Hehe," Feng Jun continued to chuckle lightly, "Luohua is originally mine. Do I need to secretly show favoritism here? Besides, at the end of the day, there can’t be a place without rules..."
Pausing for a moment, he put away his smile and continued, "Not to mention your group of eight newcomers, you should know the three veterans. They also worked for a long time before earning the opportunity to cultivate. If you move into the backyard as soon as you arrive, what will they think?"
Zhong Lijing finally realized the seriousness of the problem, and her face turned a bit pale, "So I would offend them for no reason?"
"This isn’t offending for no reason," Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but jab at her, "You’re deliberately challenging the rules. Do you think Liang Siyu doesn’t want to sleep with Elder Feng? She hasn’t succeeded yet, how could you get a turn..."
At this point, she cautiously glanced at Feng Jun, seeing that he wasn’t angry, she continued, "Luohua doesn’t purely based on seniority, and cultivation shouldn’t focus too much on this, but... there should be a first-come, first-served order, right?"
"So that’s how it is..." Zhong Lijing was a bit dejected, but immediately after, her eyes lit up again, "However, I really don’t ask to cultivate immediately, and it’s fine if I don’t live in the backyard. I can stay in a tent with the Boss."
Yang Yuxin helplessly shook her head. This girl, do you have to be so desperate?
However, Feng Jun had learned about her from Good Scenery, and knew that the girl was also quite pitiful, lacking a sense of security and having few friends. So he didn’t misunderstand her, "Xiao Zhong, you don’t need to do this. Let me tell you this, you still have your Red Pill..."
"Red Pill?" Zhong Lijing was stunned for a moment, then remembered what this term meant. Luckily she majored in Chinese and had read some Daoist texts.
Yang Yuxin thought she didn’t understand, so she explained, "It means you haven’t had a boyfriend before."
Feng Jun continued, "This is very beneficial for your cultivation path... Before you start cultivating, protect yourself well."
This reason really convinced Zhong Lijing. In fact, this kind of statement was also common in the Daoist texts she had come across, so she blushed and nodded, "Thank you, Boss, it seems I was thinking too simply... I’m really sorry."
"There’s nothing to be sorry about," Feng Jun waved his hand with a smile, kindly replying, "Don’t be scared by her. Most people in the manor are still very friendly."
Zhong Lijing still felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to turn and leave, but ultimately she summoned the courage to speak, "Boss, I won’t go to the backyard, but... can I come here often?"
You’re really quite calculating! Yang Yuxin couldn’t help but roll her eyes— the spiritual energy here is much richer than in the backyard.
Feng Jun shook his head, "You’d better not come often. There are occasionally very dangerous items here."
Zhong Lijing glanced at Yang Yuxin’s chest, feeling a bit unconvinced: That size... can’t be considered big, right?
