How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang looked bewildered: "This...the Hei family of the capital, aren't they being a bit too subservient? I feel like something's not quite right..."

"Oh dear, you're such a hesitant child!"

Hei Muguang waved his hand: "This time, listen to your father. You should go to big cities more often. Only by broadening your horizons can you determine your potential."

Well, since we can't continue forward through the immortal sect, we'll rely on our family for support for now. At worst, we can help our clansmen when we become wealthy. That's what you call social etiquette..."

"Your dad's bureaucratic ways are annoying to hear!"

Qing Yiyi nodded: "But that's the truth!"

"Uh... wait a minute..."

Hei Yang's eyes widened. He seemed to have fallen into a cognitive trap. If he could become an elder there, without his parents controlling him, and with his high position and power...

Does that mean no one can force him to roll up?!

Hei Yang's eyes lit up. The plan worked!

……

"Sister, you should advance to the Qi Refining stage as soon as possible and join the outer sect. That's the right path for you!"

Hei Xiaolong looked up at his sister and said seriously, "Only in this way can we truly enjoy the various benefits of the sect."

"Okay, after I join the outer sect, I can take care of you in place of Mom!"

Hei Xiaoqi smiled slightly and patted Xiaolong's head: "You really are my little brother. It's been so long since I've seen you. You've grown so tall and handsome!"

"Sis, you know I'm not a child anymore, so please stop touching my head. People will laugh at me if they see it!"

Hei Xiaolong's face flushed slightly as he muttered under his breath, "Besides, I'm about to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage. Maybe by the time you reach the outer sect, I'll be in the inner sect, as long as I condense my divine power..."

"Oh dear, let's not talk about that now."

Hei Xiaoqi waved her hand, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Speaking of which, why didn't I see any members of our Hei family at the Five Elements Immortal Sect? Where are the disciples of the Hei family from the capital?"

"what?"

Hei Xiaolong looked at him as if he were kidding him: "The Hei family of the capital has not had a disciple selected for many years. I was selected because of my outstanding talent. Your spot was earned through my contributions!"

"?"

A question mark appeared above Hei Xiaoqi's head: "What did you say?"

"That's it."

Hei Xiaolong waved his hand: "Of our relatives in the Five Colors Clan in the capital, apart from the Red Family and the White Family, the other three families have all declined."

They're doing pretty badly now, but they just don't want to go back to their hometown, saying that things are definitely better in the capital than in Five Colors City, with more opportunities and such.

"Ha, they even came to me before asking me to be some kind of family head. I'm not stupid, why would I take on that mess?"

"Ah...huh?"

Hei Xiaoqi blinked.

Chapter 44 This is a war that will determine the future!

"So, sister, you should hurry up and cultivate. As long as you can reach the Foundation Establishment stage, you can recommend a disciple to the sect!"

Of course, I was already confident of breaking through, but my master and the others knew that I needed to develop a great supernatural power as the foundation for that breakthrough, so I could recommend this spot in advance.

Hei Xiaolong couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, I didn't really want to recommend you, but my mom kept watching me."

She didn't say anything, just stood there looking at me, as if I were some kind of heinous, heartless coward if I didn't recommend you.

"Ah this..."

Hei Xiaoqi hadn't recovered from the shock just now when she heard her younger brother say this, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "If you're not going to recommend me, who are you going to recommend? Oh, you wouldn't happen to have secretly fallen for someone's girl and want to be their couple, would you!"

"What are you thinking?"

Hei Xiaolong rolled his eyes: "My mother is watching right there, how could I dare to go looking for a girl..."

Besides, if I want to look for someone, can't I just look within the sect? That way, we'll all have common ground..."

"Makes sense."

Hei Xiaoqi nodded thoughtfully: "Then who do you want to recommend?"

"Of course it's Brother Heiyang!"

Hei Xiaolong's eyes instantly lit up with stars.

"I really, really, really miss Brother Heiyang!"

Every day I dream of my older brother playing with me and Huihui when we were little. Ah, I wonder how he is now.

"oh---"

Hei Xiaoqi's face instantly darkened; she felt like she'd been shoved with a mouthful of lemons—even though she was the older sister…

"What else can Hei Yang do?"

Hei Xiaoqi sighed: "Still the same as before, listless and lifeless."

He doesn't look like a young person at all; he's like an old man.

"Ha, Brother Heiyang is still the same as before, that's great!"

Hei Xiaolong looked excited. He had always thought Hei Yang looked very cool since he was a child, and had even tried to imitate him, but gave up in less than half a day.

The reason is simple: Brother Heiyang can sit in the yard all day without moving, and he doesn't even blink!

And he?

I feel uncomfortable all over if I don't move for even a short while!

Only when he is cultivating can he calm down a little.

"But I need to correct something."

Hei Xiaolong said seriously, "The old man is not as calm as Brother Hei Yang. The old man is much more impatient!"

"Pah, Hei Yang's composure isn't what you call steady, it's just plain laziness!"

The old man wasn't impatient; he was just lively!

"You're not allowed to speak ill of Brother Heiyang!"

"Hiss! You've gone too far, Hei Xiaolong, I'm your real sister!"

"Hmph, Mom and Dad aren't home, let's see who you can complain to!"

"Ugh! Are you trying to drive your sister crazy?!"

"Saying so much is useless."

Hei Xiaolong coughed twice and puffed out his chest: "According to the sect rules, you should call me senior brother!"

"Ok?"

"Okay... I can call you 'sister' if I want..."

Hei Xiaolong muttered under his breath, "I came out from the outer sect specifically to teach you the Five Elements Qi Refining Method quickly, but you don't appreciate my good intentions..."

"Alright, alright, it was my fault, sister."

Hei Xiaoqi coaxed, "Sister shouldn't have been angry with you, okay?"

"Hmm, I forgive you."

Hei Xiaolong forced himself not to laugh out loud and nodded: "Now, I'll start... Hey, by the way, did Brother Hong Butian come with you? Why don't we call him over so I can teach him together?"

"Ah, no, Hong Butian had a little accident and couldn't come."

Hei Xiaoqi shrugged.

"what?"

Hei Xiaolong looked distressed: "Wouldn't that spot for the Hong family be wasted? It's a spot that Aunt Hongling only gets when she breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

Because Wang Duhong's family didn't have any eligible recommenders, she thought of people from our hometown and gave them the spot.

“Aunt Hongling… uh, I don’t know her.”

"Of course you don't know him, you've only just arrived at the sect."

Hei Xiaolong paused, then reminded him, "The one that came to pick you up in the airship, shouldn't she be on it?"

"Oh, I remember now, I remember now!"

Hei Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly: "So it was her."

"Hmm, what a pity."

"Actually, it's not a pity."

Hei Xiaoqi smiled and said, "That spot was given to another member of the Hong family. Guess who it is?"

"Ah this..."

Hei Xiaolong's lips twitched, as if recalling some unpleasant memories: "It can't be... Sister Hongli, right?"
