I Just Want to Live Well but I Surpassed the Protagonist – 01 Sneak Attack
Sword Pavilion Hall
After each recruitment, the Sword Pavilion Hall would hold a competition within the hall to test the skills of the new disciples.
Today was the day of the competition. Most of the new disciples were nervous. Although they had been preparing since they entered the Sword Pavilion Hall, two weeks was obviously not enough time. The small group of geniuses, on the other hand, were calm and collected. They were confident that they could achieve good results.
In the early morning, Long Tian came out of the magical jade pendant space.
Ordinary disciples lived in the middle and lower levels of Zangjian Peak. Ten people shared a courtyard, and each disciple had their own hut. Privacy was not a problem. They just needed to put up a sign at the door that said “closed for cultivation “, and generally no one would come to disturb them.
After Long Tian joined the Tianluo Sect, he received resources from the sect and refined them himself. He had been in seclusion almost the entire time. His cultivation had now reached the peak of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. If not for the lack of resources, he would have definitely broken through to the eighth level in one go.
Pushing open the door, Long Tian saw a young man living next door sweeping the courtyard.
His name was Qiu Ligao. Although Long Tian had not had much contact with the people in the courtyard, he had remembered their names.
“Long Tian! You finally came out!” Qiu Ligao complained like a resentful woman: “It was your turn to clean these past few days, but you went into seclusion. Next time, you must sweep for me.”
Long Tian nodded, agreeing.
Cultivators were not like mortals who would produce a lot of living garbage, but the leaves from the trees in the courtyard and outside the surrounding walls would fall, and quite a few could be gathered in a day. Therefore, each person would take turns cleaning for a week. This had already become a common practice among the disciples.
“Are you confident about this competition?” Qiu Ligao put down his broom. Because Long Tian had been in seclusion almost every day since he joined the hall, he was curious. Because normal Foundation Establishment cultivators without extremely high talent or resources had limited speed of improvement. In other words, seclusion was useless.
As for Long Tian, he had talent and resources, so why would he come to be an ordinary disciple? However, he had heard that Long Tian had a five-colored Foundation Establishment, so his talent should still be somewhat decent. However, his cultivation at the third level of Foundation Establishment seemed to have lowered his five-colored Foundation Establishment.
“I should be.” Long Tian replied indifferently and left the courtyard.
“What a weirdo.” Qiu Ligao shook his head and continued sweeping.
No, wait, why did he have to continue? Didn’t Long Tian come out? Why did he run away again?

“Young Master, Shimeng will not be participating in the competition. Why are you still going to watch?” Wu Xue was tidying Ye Yong’s hair.
The banquet had continued until midnight yesterday. Mu Qingyin left first, and then Ye Yong saw that Wu Xue had fallen asleep on a table in the corner and suggested that they go back.
Because he had drunk some wine and his clothes were stained with the smell of alcohol, Ye Yong carried Wu Xue back to her room and went to take a bath.
However, he had rarely taken a bath since becoming a cultivator. After taking a bath, Wu Xue helped him tidy his clothes and hair. Therefore, he had spent the entire night with his hair shawl-style, his clothes messy, and looking like a handsome man who had suffered some kind of violent act. He sat in the living room with his eyes closed, cultivating, until Wu Xue woke up this morning.
“To see how my clansmen are doing.” In fact, Ye Yong was specifically going to keep an eye on Ye Mao. Especially after visiting the Sword Pavilion Hall last time and discovering that the guy’s attitude had hardened a lot, and he had started to move towards becoming a villain again, it was difficult for Ye Yong not to keep an eye on him.
“I, I won’t go with you.” Wu Xue thought for a while and whispered.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Yong looked at Wu Xue through the bronze mirror.
“I owe everything to Young Master for being able to come to the Tianluo Sect. But I’m not a cultivator after all. It’s not appropriate for me to go to a place where cultivators gather.”
“Is it because of yesterday…” It wasn’t that Ye Yong had deliberately ignored Wu Xue at the banquet. He had clearly waved at her, but she was too embarrassed to come over.
“No.” Wu Xue shook her head: “It’s just that I feel more and more that Young Master is very dazzling, like the blazing sun in the sky, while I’m just a tiny grain of sand on the ground. It’s fine when I’m at home, but when I go out, I feel like I don’t deserve to be…”
“What are you talking about?” Ye Yong turned around, reached out and patted her cheek, rubbing it back and forth, not letting her continue: “You have great potential. As long as you grow up, you will not be inferior to cultivators.”
Wu Xue did not react much, and her mood was still somewhat low.
Ye Yong thought for a moment, then hugged her and gently stroked her head: “Xiao Xue, do you know what I like most about you?”
“Wh-what is it?” Wu Xue’s originally low voice suddenly rose a little.
“You’re very strong. Once you’ve decided on something, you’ll do it. That time when you were tempering your body, even though there was a risk of death, you still gritted your teeth and persevered.”
“Because the young master was with me at that time. If it weren’t for the young master, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to succeed.”
“Then I’m right here with you now. Why do you want to escape? Why do you feel like you’re not worthy?”
“…” Wu Xue thought of Mu Qingyin. The other party was a powerful deity. Even a powerful deity was willing to sit beside the young master, while she was just a small martial artist at the seventh level of Qi Refining. In the future, Ye Yong’s status would definitely become higher and higher, and he would meet more and more powerful cultivators. She had no confidence that she could catch up and integrate into that circle.
“Don’t care what other people say, and don’t overthink things. You’re mine. Only I can let you go. You can only go if I let you go.” Ye Yong turned on his domineering CEO mode. He held Wu Xue’s shoulders, pushed her away a little, and stared into her eyes: “Do you understand?”

Wu Xue was stunned. Her eyes were only on Ye Yong. After a long time, tears flickered in her eyes: “Even if the young master asks me to leave… I won’t leave!”
Favorability +20.
203. [Extremely infatuated] [Will follow till death] [Unwavering]
Holy crap!
Ye Yong was shocked when he heard the favorability prompt. Originally, extreme infatuation sounded dangerous enough, but now it had become extremely infatuated, and another unwavering had been added.
What was this for? Everyone has a period of low self-confidence. It’s normal for martial artists to be weak in the early stages and unable to hold their heads up in front of cultivators. He just wanted to encourage Wu Xue to not be inferior and to get out of her slump. He wasn’t trying to attack her.
“Young master.”
“Ah?” Ye Yong came back to his senses and found that Wu Xue was very close to him. Their noses were almost touching. He quickly leaned back a little.
“I’m willing to do anything for the young master.” Wu Xue grabbed Ye Yong’s shoulders and moved closer again: “So…”
Ye Yong held his breath. This girl wouldn’t want to…
“From now on! I will cultivate even harder! Until I can catch up to the young master!” Wu Xue said loudly as if she were making an oath, then let go of Ye Yong.
So that’s what she wanted to say. The atmosphere just now made him think…
“Smack.” Wu Xue suddenly kissed Ye Yong on the lips like a dragonfly skimming the water. Her little face quickly turned red, and she ran into her room like she was fleeing, closing the door behind her.
A little surprised, Ye Yong touched his lips. The soft touch and warmth seemed to still linger on them.
Playing hard to get, catching him off guard.
Who taught my Xiao Xue to be so bad! Why didn’t they teach her to be even worse!
Ye Yong had always been the one to flirt with others, but he didn’t expect to be sneak attacked by a little girl today. It made his heart beat faster.
“Why didn’t they teach her to be even worse!” Lmao, I love this
