My lord, hold me tight! (Quick Transmigration)

"No! Of course not! That's not what I meant!" Ling Yue waved his hands repeatedly, afraid that she would misunderstand. Miss Tang is so scary!

Tang Nuan looked at his tense face, resisting the urge to break character, and thought to herself: What an innocent little Taoist priest! o(≧v≦)o~~

"Hmph, you're smart enough to go to your Dao Sect. It's a blessing for your sect that I, this young lady, am going there!" Tang Nuan said arrogantly, raising her chin slightly.

Ling Yue blinked but didn't say anything.

Tang Nuan reached into her bundle and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a silver ingot: "Take me to Tianqian Mountain, and this is your reward!"

Ling Yue stared intently at the silver ingot in Tang Nuan's palm, his eyes shining brightly in the darkness.

"No way! Boss, you should just give it to me!" Xiaobai shouted.

"Here you go!" Tang Nuan tossed the silver ingot in her hand to the young Taoist priest.

Little White flew out uncontrollably with the silver ingot, trying to intercept it midway, but it forgot that it was just a ghost.

"thump!"

"Ouch! That hurts so much!" The silver passed through its body and, under its pained gaze, ended up in Ling Yue's hand.

Ling Yue touched the silver in his hand, put it in his pocket with satisfaction, and smiled at Tang Nuan with more warmth.

but--

"I'm hungry, go get me something to eat!"

"I'm so full, carry me on your back!"

"I'm tired, carry me on your back!"

"This young lady... is very good! This is a reward for you!"

And so, while enslaving the money-grubbing Taoist priest, Tang Nuan successfully ascended Tianqian Mountain.

Tianqian Mountain, Tianqian Dao Sect.

Tianqian only recruits disciples once every ten years, so the area outside the mountain gate is naturally packed with people.

Ling Yue took Tang Nuan to the Dao Sect's new disciple registration office and then prepared to sneak back to the Dao Sect's inner sect. The main reason was that he had been tormented by Miss Tang these past few days and was almost broken!

"Are you just going to leave like this?" Tang Nuan noticed his movement and called out to him.

"..." The young Taoist priest paused for a moment, then pretended not to hear and continued forward.

"Ling Yue! Don't you want your bounty anymore?" Tang Nuan roared.

The young Taoist priest immediately turned around, his eyes lighting up.

"Hmph! I'm not giving it to you anymore, your service is terrible! Bad review!" Tang Nuan snorted coldly.

Ling Yue wanted to cry but had no tears. "No! Can't he change?"

"Young lady, please fill out some basic information first." A Taoist priest stationed at the registration point became amiable as he saw the sect leader's disciple, Ling Yue, escorting her to the mountain gate.

After filling in the information, Tang Nuan mingled with the crowd of applicants and waited patiently for the entrance test.

"Boss, I don't know why, but I really like the atmosphere here!" Little Bai was lying on the huge stone plaque with the four characters "Tianqian Daozong" carved on it by the mountain gate.

The four large characters exude a righteous aura and are blessed by Taoist secret techniques, which can ward off all evil spirits that come near.

Tang Nuan's eyes twitched as she watched Xiao Bai strike various alluring poses, completely unaffected by the Heavenly Dryness Qi, thoroughly enjoying herself. As a ghost, is it really okay for you to be so obsessed with the Dao Sect?

Three days later, she took the entrance test. Unexpectedly, the original owner had good aptitude and was a good candidate to learn Taoist arts, so she passed it with ease.

Tang Nuan changed into the sect's unique attire; the Taoist robes wrapped around her beautiful figure, adding a touch of ethereal grace to her graceful movements.

She entered the Tianqian Dao Sect with the hundred disciples who passed the preliminary selection. She saw Ling Yue not far away. Just as she was about to greet him, she noticed the pretty woman beside him. The woman was petite with a face like a peach blossom, and she and the handsome Ling Yue looked like a perfect couple.

It seems this is Ling Yue's junior sister, Miao Miao!

Xiao Bai gloated from the side, "Boss, your gigolo is going to be stolen away! Hahaha!"

Tang Nuan shot her a sharp look, and Xiao Bai drifted away on his own.

"Have you heard? The people in the distance are Ling Yue, the chief disciple of the Tianqian Sect Leader, and Miao Miao, the sect leader's granddaughter. I heard that Senior Brother Ling Yue is the best candidate for the next sect leader!" Several people whispered among themselves.

"Ahem! It's forbidden to discuss other people's faults within the sect!" The Taoist priest leading the group coughed lightly, stopping their conversation.

The line quieted down.

"Senior brother, I would like to ask if the sect leader still accepts disciples?" Tang Nuan quickened her pace and approached the Taoist priest leading the group to ask.

Upon seeing that the person asking the question was a charming and beautiful woman, and knowing that the Dao Sect was predominantly male and female, it was natural to cultivate a good relationship with another junior sister. So, she replied kindly, "The sect leader no longer accepts disciples. What, junior sister, do you wish to become the sect leader's disciple?"

Tang Nuan smiled, said nothing, and returned to the group.

Nonsense! How can you win over a junior Taoist priest without joining the sect leader's tutelage?

The next day, when the sect's elders were accepting disciples, Tang Nuan refused the offers from several elders and resolutely knelt before the sect leader.

The sect leader was a kind-faced, white-haired old man. He advised, "Child, I stopped accepting disciples long ago! The other elders are all highly skilled seniors in Taoist arts. You have good aptitude, so you can learn Taoist arts better by following them."

Tang Nuan kept her lips closed and did not rise.

Helpless, the sect leader had no choice but to keep Tang Nuan behind after the disciple selection was completed.

"Please, Sect Leader, allow me to become your disciple!" Tang Nuan repeated the same words.

"..."

After a while, Tang Nuanxin came out of the sect leader's place with great satisfaction. She had successfully become the sect leader's closed-door disciple!

Xiao Bai looked utterly heartbroken, muttering, "My money... my money... it's all gone... you old geezer, I'll fight you to the death!"

As Tang Nuan looked at Ling Yue walking towards her, she couldn't help but recall the scene from just now.

"Please, Sect Leader, allow me to become your disciple!"

"...Child, I've already told you I won't be accepting any more disciples..." the sect leader said earnestly.

"Boss, boss, that old man has so much silver in his storeroom!" Little White, who had somehow drifted into the inner room and wandered around, came out to report the news.

Silver? Could it be...?

Tang Nuan's mind raced, and she said, "Sect Leader, to be honest, my father is the richest man in Yongle City. The day I was possessed by a ghost, it was your eldest disciple, Ling Yue, who stepped forward to help me..."

She recounted the events to the sect leader, embellishing the story and praising the Tianqian Dao Sect for its righteousness, outstanding talents, and status as the foremost sect among Daoist sects.

"...Tang Nuan has come here today for two reasons. First, she wants to become your disciple. Second, my father wants to thank the sect leader for teaching such a good disciple. He has entrusted me with 50,000 taels of silver to give to the sect leader!" As she spoke, she took out a silver note from her clothes and handed it to the sect leader.

"How could I possibly accept this..." The old man in front of her looked at the silver note in her hand, his face breaking into a smile, revealing his wrinkled features. He reached out and took the silver note, counted it, and then put it into his pocket with satisfaction.

"Um……"

The old man's expression changed. He stroked his long white beard, regaining his serious and dignified demeanor, and said in a deep voice, "It seems we are destined to meet today. Seeing your exceptional talent, you are a rare and promising individual. I will accept you as my disciple! Disciple, call me Master!"

"...Master!" This old man!

Indeed, like master, like disciple! She finally understood why the young Taoist priest was so greedy!

And so, Tang Nuan became the first and last person to become the sect leader's disciple through the "money" rule!

"Miss Tang!" Ling Yue greeted her upon seeing her, pulling her out of her reverie.

"Will you still call me Miss Tang? From now on, I'll be your junior sister!" Tang Nuan said with a smile.

"What?! The sect leader isn't..." Ling Yue exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't he no longer accepting disciples? I've just become his closed-door disciple. Please take good care of me, Senior Brother!" She patted Ling Yue on the shoulder.

"But, Miss Tang..."

"Don't call me Miss Tang!" Tang Nuan shouted.

The tone shifted abruptly, and she said softly, "Just call me Xiao Nuan."

"..." Miss Tang's split personality is terrifying!

"Senior brother!" Miao Miao ran over from not far away.

"Is Senior Brother going to see Grandpa Sect Leader? Eh? Who are you?" Miao Miao asked Tang Nuan in confusion.

"She is Tang Xiao..." Ling Yue immediately changed his words after seeing the threat in Tang Nuan's eyes, "She is the sect leader's newly accepted... junior sister Nuan!"

"Haha, I knew that old geezer's words were mostly lies, even saying he wouldn't take on any disciples!" Miao Miao's tone couldn't hide her contempt for the sect leader.

Xiao Bai: Little girl, you have a good point! That old man is a scoundrel!

"By the way, is your name Xiao Nuan? I'm Miao Miao, I'm your senior sister!" Miao Miao winked her big eyes mischievously.

"Hello Miaomiao!" Tang Nuan smiled, "This cute girl is so adorable!"

"Let me take you to the courtyard where our sect leader's disciple lives!" Miao Miao familiarly took her hand.

"Okay!"

The two walked hand in hand toward the inner gate, leaving Ling Yue alone in the same spot.

"Silly boy, what are you standing at the door for? Come in now!" the sect leader shouted from inside.

“Yes, Master…” Ling Yue entered the room.

"...I heard from your new junior sister that you earned a thousand taels of silver for exorcising ghosts during your training. You know what to do according to the rules of the sect, right?" The sect leader stretched out his hand and spread it out in front of Ling Yue.

“Master…” Ling Yue reluctantly took the silver note out of his chest.

"You brat, your master is just keeping it for you. I know you're bad at managing money. I'll pay you back later. Hurry up and give it to me!" the sect leader said impatiently.

Seeing his master's attitude that he wouldn't be able to leave without paying, he had no choice but to obediently hand over the silver notes to the sect leader.

"That's right, that's my good disciple!" The sect leader immediately smiled, his eyes narrowing into slits, completely different from his reclusive and wise demeanor during the day.

……

"Xiao Nuan, Xiao Nuan, this is your new room!" Miao Miao walked into a room. "I live right next door! You can come visit your senior sister anytime!"

"Thank you, Miaomiao! Goodbye, Miaomiao! Goodnight, Miaomiao!" Seeing the girl about to launch into a long speech, Tang Nuan turned Miaomiao around, gently pushed her out of the room, and then closed the door.

"Huh? It's still daytime! Xiao Nuan, remember to come find your senior sister if you don't understand anything!" Miao Miao called from outside.

Dear female lead, is this really a good idea? She's here to steal the male lead away!
