Chapter 45 – Being a leader is damn enjoyable
Yun Wange gave a final warning, "That Liang Yichen is narrow-minded and vindictive. Today, you made him lose face, and he certainly won't let it go. Within the sect, he naturally wouldn't dare to act openly. According to the secret report from my informant by his side, he has already secretly reached an agreement with Elder Li Jianglin of Qinglan Peak!"
"Li Jianglin?" Mu Xiaochuan raised an eyebrow, the name didn't ring a bell.
"That's right!" Yun Wange's voice carried a chill, "Liang Yichen promised great benefits to make Li Jianglin act against you in the Outer Sect Elder competition of the Sect Grand Tournament! He knows you possess an Earth-tier Spiritual Artifact, and ordinary means can't harm you, but Li Jianglin is an experienced Foundation Establishment third stage cultivator with a solid foundation and a body cultivator background, with incredible strength and defense. If he has a high-tier Spiritual Artifact as well, and intends to strike you down, on the arena where blades have no eyes, it would be hard to hold him accountable even if pursued afterward!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaochuan felt no fear; instead, a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes!
Foundation Establishment third stage? Body cultivator? Perfect! My Earth-tier armor and Earth-tier spirit staff haven't truly seen blood yet!
"Thank you for the warning, Senior Sister. I understand," Mu Xiaochuan was already planning how to deal with this Li Jianglin.
"And also!" Yun Wange's voice came again, with deeper concern, "He has also bribed several disciples guarding the mountain gate to keep an eye on your movements. Once you leave the Qingling Sect, they will immediately inform him! Outside the sect, the sky is high and the earth is vast; if he wants to harm you, he has many means! Xiaochuan, remember! Never leave the sect lightly! Do you hear me?!"
"Rest assured, Senior Sister, with you here, Yunqi Peak is the best place to cultivate; how could I bear to leave?" Mu Xiaochuan agreed obediently, but inside, he was overjoyed!
Mu Xiaochuan floated out of the Yunqi Heavenly Palace, feeling as refreshed as drinking a jar of ice-cold sour plum soup on a scorching summer day, the coolness flowing from head to toe, utterly invigorating!
The Peak Master's words, "No matter what you do within Yunqi Peak, Senior Sister will unconditionally support you," were more exhilarating than any elixir! This was the supreme existence of Yunqi Peak! With her as a backing, wouldn't he be able to roam freely on Yunqi Peak?

Of course, the happiest news was about Liang Yichen. You, the God of Wealth, are truly diligent! With Li Jianglin and the mountain gate informants, it's like you're delivering thrill points to me on a silver platter!
What others might see as catastrophic crises, to Mu Xiaochuan, were merely "thrill point feasts" about to be served!
By the time he returned to the Listening Bamboo Pavilion, it was already dusk.
Su Yao and Lin Yue were obediently meditating and cultivating in the courtyard. Seeing Mu Xiaochuan return, they quickly stood up to greet him.
"Elder is back!"
"Elder, you worked hard today!"
Their voices were as clear and pleasant as orioles, and the admiration and attachment in their eyes almost overflowed into something tangible.
"Yes, you both worked hard too." Mu Xiaochuan was in a great mood and casually asked, "How's dinner coming along?"
Su Yao had a mysterious smile on her pretty face, "Elder, there's no need for us to prepare dinner today."
"Oh?" Mu Xiaochuan was a bit surprised, "Why is that?"
Su Yao motioned towards the courtyard gate with her mouth, "Look."
Following Su Yao's direction, Mu Xiaochuan saw seventeen or eighteen male and female disciples gathered outside the gate of the Listening Bamboo Pavilion, each holding a box of delicacies, their faces filled with eagerness and anticipation.
Leading the group was a male disciple named Guo Daniu, who looked endearingly clumsy. Upon noticing Mu Xiaochuan's gaze, he hurriedly stepped forward and reported excitedly, "Elder Mu! I hunted a black-scaled rhinoceros and specially offer a portion of its kidney, freshly cooked, for you to taste!"
"Elder Mu! I'm Zhao Xiaohua! This is osmanthus spirit cake I made myself, using the finest spiritual rice and morning dew, it's the sweetest and most refreshing!" A round-faced female disciple quickly squeezed forward.
"Elder Mu! And me! I made spirit pigeon soup!"
"Elder, try my hundred-fruit brew!"
"Elder..."
A bold female disciple even ran over, "Elder Mu, I want to serve you too, and I promise to do it better."
This sparked a frenzy, with more female disciples shouting without regard for their image.
"Elder Mu, I'm the best at serving people."
"Elder Mu, I have the best figure."
"Elder Mu, I want to have your babies."
...
In an instant, the courtyard entrance was bustling, with disciples showcasing their talents and skills.
Mu Xiaochuan was both amused and exasperated, but seeing the eager eyes of these disciples, he couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart (mainly because his vanity was greatly satisfied).
This is the benefit of power and prestige!
"Alright, alright, I appreciate everyone's kindness," Mu Xiaochuan waved his hand and smiled, "Leave the things here and go back to cultivate well, don't linger here."
"Yes, Elder Mu!" The disciples were actually moved to tears, repeatedly thanking him, reluctantly leaving the food boxes behind, and slowly departing with frequent glances back.
Looking at the mountain of food boxes in the courtyard, Su Yao and Lin Yue exchanged glances and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Elder, you're really... so popular now!" Lin Yue said, covering her mouth with a laugh.
Su Yao, blinking her big eyes, said with some worry, "But Elder, will you dislike us?"
"Hahaha! Of course not!" Mu Xiaochuan waved his hand grandly, "This Elder values loyalty and won't forget you!"
The dinner was exceptionally sumptuous. The table was filled with meticulously prepared dishes, pastries, and spirit wine, their aroma wafting in the air. Many ingredients were so exotic that even Mu Xiaochuan couldn't name them, clearly the result of the disciples' painstaking efforts to gather them.
The three of them ate to their heart's content.
After dinner, Mu Xiaochuan sat in the courtyard enjoying the cool breeze, while Su Yao and Lin Yue tidied up the dishes nearby.
His eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief as he looked at Su Yao and Lin Yue.
The two girls' faces instantly turned crimson, their hearts pounding, clearly understanding his intentions.
The next morning, Mu Xiaochuan, feeling refreshed, walked out of the Listening Bamboo Pavilion, under the slightly resentful gazes of Su Yao and Lin Yue, full of energy.
Today, he felt better than ever!
As he leisurely strolled to the Heaven Vault Pavilion area, he immediately experienced that "idol arrival" treatment once again.
"Good morning, Elder Mu!"
"Elder, you look even more impressive today!"
"Elder, I recently comprehended a new set of fist techniques, may I ask for your guidance?"
"Elder! Are you thirsty? I have freshly brewed spirit tea here!"
"Elder! Are you hungry? I brought freshly baked spirit cakes!"
...
The disciples gathered around as if energized, offering warmth and care, serving tea and water, massaging shoulders (if Mu Xiaochuan allowed), and some even volunteered to help clean his courtyard and organize documents...
Mu Xiaochuan was surprised to find that he seemed... to no longer need to do anything himself?
As long as he showed the slightest hint of a desire, like wanting a cup of tea, there would immediately be a dozen hands offering cups; or if he wanted to read a document, someone would immediately rush to fetch it and respectfully spread it out before him...
"My goodness! This life... is simply too pleasant!" Mu Xiaochuan secretly rejoiced, yet couldn't help but mutter softly.
However, this feeling of being held in the palm of everyone's hand, having everything done for him, was truly... too satisfying!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for enjoying the treatment of being surrounded by stars, feeling extremely comfortable and delighted, gaining 20 thrill points!"
As Mu Xiaochuan contentedly enjoyed this "corrupt" lifestyle, he couldn't help but sigh, "Being a leader is damn enjoyable."
