My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Tong Wei said, "Our Wuyu Terrace is different from other peaks. We don't distinguish between inner and outer disciples. You can just call the disciples who joined earlier 'senior brother' or 'senior sister'."

My only direct disciples are Cheng Ji and Zuo Han. On a daily basis, the two of us take turns lecturing at the Wuyu Terrace. The courses are about 'rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics'.

Sometimes we'll intersperse our understanding of Confucianism and Taoism. Whether or not you take this course is entirely voluntary; our sect doesn't have any strict requirements for attending.

Feel free to ask me any questions you have, either in class or in private. I don't know if I can help you, but I will do my best to guide you.

Luo Hanying obediently responded, thinking to herself that she thought she would be 8 a.m. in another world, but she didn't expect that the students here would be so leniently managed.

The three landed below the Dance Terrace of the Luanjin Pavilion, where the sound of reading aloud could be heard.

Tong Wei patted Ji Ying on the shoulder, indicating that she could decide where to go herself. She then said to Luo Hanying, "In a little while, I will have Wen Xijun show you around Luan Jin Pavilion and Wu Yu Terrace, then take you to Hong Yan Hall to collect your sect disciple uniforms and monthly allowance, and finally arrange a place for you to rest."

Once you've made all the necessary preparations, come to my residence at 6:45 AM tomorrow, and we'll hold a simple apprenticeship ceremony.

Luo Hanying nodded repeatedly, readily agreeing, but she was worried about what alarm she should use to wake up when the system went into hibernation.

Tong Wei stepped onto the dance platform, and a moment later a young man with a silver crown and tassels came down, lifting the corner of his robe: "You must be Master's new junior sister?"

We all heard the phoenix's cry during our classes here; our junior sister truly is an exceptional individual.

Wen Xijun's praise made Luo Hanying a little shy. She complimented him, saying, "Senior brother also looks like an immortal, unlike an ordinary cultivator."

Wen Xijun laughed heartily: "You're so cute. Come on, let me take you to Hongyan Hall to collect your monthly allowance."

He tossed out a bamboo scroll, which unfolded, grew larger, and floated in the air. Wen Xijun gestured for Luo Hanying to sit on it, and he carried Luo Hanying on his flying artifact towards Hongyan Hall.

“Our Luanjin Pavilion is very close to Hongyan Hall, Shigu Hall and Jielu Hall, but it is quite far from Nahai Tower.”

Wen Xijun handed a wooden whistle to Luo Hanying, saying, "Master said your sword-flying skills are average. If you want to go to a more distant place but don't want to fly on a sword, you can blow this wooden whistle. Our Shiren Sect has cranes for transportation."

Luo Hanying looked somewhat surprised: "Did Master ask you to give this to me?"

How could Tong Wei discern her sword-flying skills from such a short journey?

Luo Hanying wasn't unwilling to put in the effort to study; she simply couldn't overcome her fear of heights.

She was able to stand steadily on the spirit sword because she had done a lot of mental preparation in the Invitation Fragrance Secret Realm beforehand.

Wen Xijun nodded naturally: "Since he mentioned your sword-wielding ability to me, he is telling me to take you with me and give you the wooden whistle."

Luo Hanying never expected that Tong Wei, who looked like a rigid old scholar, would care so much about his disciple. He actually allowed her to slack off. Shouldn't a teacher like him usually tell his disciple to study sword flying properly?

"Is this your first time meeting our master? You're probably intimidated by him, aren't you?"

Wen Xijun noticed Luo Hanying's surprise and said, "Master may seem a little difficult to get along with, but he actually cares a lot about us disciples."

I don't need to say more; you'll understand once you've spent a few years with us.

We've arrived; this is Hongyan Hall.

The two dismounted from the magical artifact and entered the main hall of Hongyan Hall. Wen Xijun first helped her retrieve all the items, and then introduced them to her: "That door over there, and that wall covered with densely packed jade slips, that's where sect missions are received."

In addition to their monthly stipends, disciples of our sect who wish to obtain more resources can come here to accept missions, accumulate sect contribution points, and then exchange these points for resources.

Wen Xijun and Luo Hanying walked out of Hongyan Hall. Wen Xijun stood on the steps and pointed to the distant, faintly visible mountain peaks, saying, "That is the mountain peak where the Discipline Hall is located."

If a disciple within the sect commits a transgression, the elders and disciples of the Discipline Hall will investigate and determine the crime, and finally, the disciple will be executed at the execution ground.

"What mistakes could one possibly make within a sect?" Luo Hanying couldn't imagine.

Wen Junxi pointed to the clothes and jade slip that Luo Hanying was still holding and said, "In the jade slip I sent you, there is a rule of our sect. One of the more common rules is that fellow disciples are forbidden from killing each other or fighting in private."

If there is a problem, go to the elders of the Discipline Hall for mediation. If a peaceful resolution is not possible, go to Yunzhong Square for a public contest of magic to settle the matter. However, you must stop when you have made a move and not harm anyone.

Oh, judging from your expression, you don't know, do you? Yunzhong Square is the large square closest to the mountain gate.

When a highly respected elder of a sect passes away, the sound of the cloud clapper will resound four times.

If there is a major event in the sect, three bell tolls will activate the second layer of the sect's protective formation, and seven bell tolls will gather everyone together.

This is the origin of the name Yunzhong Square.

Luo Hanying responded thoughtfully.

Her and Chacha's mission is to help the Discipline Hall find the spies within the Shiren Sect. If they can't infiltrate and help using conventional methods, she and Chacha might have to fight a few times.

After Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying settled in, they agreed to meet at a small peak between Yuling Peak and Wendao Peak in the evening. There were also pavilions and towers built there, but they did not belong to either peak and were a place for disciples to take a walk.

After the two met, Ruan Chayan threw out a concealment array to prevent being spied on, but to be on the safe side, they still communicated in their sea of ​​consciousness.

Ruan Chayan breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, I've settled down in Shiren Sect."

I have so many questions I want to discuss with you today. If it weren't for my senior brother from Yuling Peak dragging me to visit Yuexin Bridge, I would have come to see you much sooner.

Luo Hanying nodded understandingly: "It's alright. I haven't had much free time either. I just organized my storage rings and Qiankun bags in the disciple residence assigned by Luanjin Pavilion."

I also took a look at the Confucian jade slips and such that my senior brother had given me.

"How long did it take you to leave the illusion? Were you waiting for me outside for a long time?" Ruan Chayan asked.

The two exchanged their experiences and observations in the illusion, and both their eyes welled up with tears.

Luo Hanying left the illusion by committing suicide, while Ruan Chayan killed her virtual family members.

Ruan Chayan felt ashamed and uneasy: "I never imagined I'd be in an illusion..."

I never imagined that the illusion would lead me to steal your family...

I'm so sorry...

I killed someone..."

She wanted to apologize for it, but she didn't know how to start. No matter how she explained it, it was all very strange; it was something that happened to her, whether it was true or false.

"Nonsense! When did you kill someone? You're just a child spouting nonsense."

Luo Hanying hugged Ruan Chayan, patted her back, and comforted her, saying, "Alright, alright, don't be shy. What's wrong with that? I'd love for you to be my own sister."

Ruan Chayan is one year younger than Luo Hanying.
