Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity
Chapter 279: Unmasking in Front of Keke
"Question, what is the Sect Master's bath time..."
Inside the Illusory Moon Cavern Dwelling, holding the collected questions, Bingtang rubbed her forehead.
Everyone's gaze turned towards Little Yumo.
Even with their eyes closed, they knew who asked this question.
Little Yumo was also tightly hugging her Shion doll, "U-usually at eight in the evening, sometimes a bit later at nine. If it's too late, the Sect Master will get up and bathe the next morning..."
Super Qinghua was dumbfounded: "Wait, Little Yumo, were you keeping watch all night?"
"N-no, I just got up early, took a look, and then went to school..."
Due to Yumo's ability, her speed was very fast. Basically, she could follow the Sect Master for a while and still not be late for school.
The few people listening were left speechless.
Bingtang didn't mind and just put down Yumo's question paper.
Currently, the Sect Master's girlfriend position is vacant, and in the future, he will definitely still need a girlfriend.
Whether it's for his true identity, or just for the Sect Master's convenience—what exactly requires a girlfriend for convenience will be set aside for now. In short, to avoid internal disputes within the sect delaying the Sect Master's important matters when he urgently needs a girlfriend,
a true-transmission disciple qualified to bear the Fruit Position of girlfriend must be selected in advance.
This is a major matter of seeking the Dao.
The Hundred Cultivation Arts were no longer suitable for the current environment. After some discussion, the true-transmission disciples chose the most immortal-like method.
Answering the Beggar's Questions Under the Mulberry Tree.
Everyone came up with ten questions each, then Bingtang selected the more appropriate and meaningful ones. The true-transmission disciples would answer and enlighten. The one who answered the most would be the disciple with the deepest understanding of the Great Dao, the most profound accumulation of cultivation, and the most qualified to seek the Dao...
The first one selected was Yumo's.
After hearing this, Super Qinghua just shook her head, her face full of disappointment, saying, "Little Yumo, your question isn't very good. You should ask if the Sect Master pees directly under the shower while bathing..."
Thousand-Pinweed was immediately speechless, "What kind of question is that?"
"Hey, peeing directly while showering is normal, right? It just gets washed away anyway, what's so strange about it? Don't all of you do that? You can't possibly go out specially to pee after starting your shower, can you..."
For a moment, the few true-transmission disciples turned their heads away, not answering Qinghua's question.
Bingtang helplessly tapped Qinghua's head, "Stop messing around..."
"T-the Sect Master definitely wouldn't, wouldn't do that while bathing."
After Yumo whispered this sentence, the entire Illusory Moon Cavern Dwelling fell silent.
Bai Mei, who had been listening to the meeting with her eyes closed, couldn't help but secretly crack open a slit in her right eye to glance at Yumo.
Thousand-Pinweed wasn't very interested in this meeting either, still pondering what Harry Potter magic to use to give the Sect Master a big surprise.
She was leisurely drinking milk tea, just planning to listen for any entertainment.
But Yumo's sentence made her spray the milk tea out, the scalding tea almost melting Bingtang's ice crystals.
Thousand-Pinweed hurriedly infused mana to maintain the ice crystals, then cleaned up the mess. She stepped forward and looked at the blushing Yumo here.
She looked both cute and easy to bully.
But you weren't like this when fighting at the Central Bureau, Dandelion.
Where did my fierce and cunning rival go...
When you smashed me down from the sky, you didn't show a bit of this current demeanor.
"You wouldn't peek up close, would you?"
Hearing Thousand-Pinweed's question, Yumo hugged the Shion doll and shook her head repeatedly, "N-no, the Sect Master doesn't allow getting close."
"Then you..." Thousand-Pinweed was carefully choosing her words.
Over there, Yumo had already spoken: "S-smell, smell it..."
Someone in the Illusory Moon Cavern Dwelling took a deep breath, the air pressure dropping and becoming heavier.
Super Qinghua patted Yumo's head, "Having a scent fetish is a bit niche, the Sect Master might not be able to accept that, Little Yumo..."
"N-no, it's not that! Yumo was nearby and accidentally smelled it!"
Who would believe that!
Bingtang gently tapped the table, "Alright, let's move past this question for now. Let's look at the next one."
Only then did Yumo breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, without looking closely, Bingtang just read it out, "The Sect Master's egg-changing period..."
She put it down wearily before finishing.
"Who asked this?!" Qinghua immediately shouted.
Six Leaf immediately raised her hand high, "Me, me!"
Four Leaf was startled and quickly tried to pull down her younger sister's hand, but couldn't, "Why are you asking this?"
"My classmates said boys have..."
"They don't!"
After Four Leaf interrupted her sister, Bingtang directly discarded this question and looked at the next one.
Then she looked at Super Qinghua, "This one is yours, right?"
Super Qinghua glanced at it and didn't deny it, just revealing a bright smile, "That's right, this is very important!"
"You read it yourself."
Super Qinghua recited loudly without hesitation: "Does the Sect Master prefer peeing standing up or squatting down!"
"No wonder you asked Little Yumo that question!"
Thousand-Pinweed rubbed her forehead: "Wait, do you even know the answer to this question yourself?"
"Nope." Super Qinghua didn't care at all, lacking any desire to win, only possessing humanity's most fundamental curiosity. "Points don't matter, pure curiosity! Aren't you all curious? Whether the Sect Master has gotten used to living as a girl..."
With this question, the true-transmission disciples present also momentarily showed curiosity.
Only Bingtang shook her head:
"In cultivation, yin-yang reversal isn't uncommon. Not to mention others, Bai Ningbing is a hero admired by the Sect Master. How could the Sect Master care about such things?"
"The Sect Master will only tread the Great Dao with his true self."
The few who were still curious became quiet. Bai Mei closed her eyes and sighed.
She felt her understanding of her teacher was still inferior to Lady Bingtang's.
Bingtang, who gave the answer, discarded the question slip, "This point is mine, no problem, right?"
The true-transmission disciples naturally all nodded.
"Next question, the Sect Master's favorite web novels..."
"Whose free point question is this?"
"Will the Sect Master fall in love with Harry Potter?"
"When you become a Mind Seed, Thousand-Pinweed."
"The Sect Master's favorite male and female protagonists..."
"The type of girl the Sect Master likes."
As the questions were gradually resolved and points allocated, the final closing question left the previously enthusiastic true-transmission disciples deep in thought.
Only Bingtang leisurely organized these slips of paper, looking at the true-transmission disciples who weren't rushing to answer.
She couldn't help but smile:
"The type of girl the Sect Master likes, hmm, what type... actually, he probably wouldn't care."
Yumo sat up straight, pricked up her ears, listening extremely seriously, even putting down the Shion doll in her hands.
Super Qinghua cupped her face, grinning as she looked at Lady Bingtang, seemingly not surprised at all by this.
Four Leaf was still bowing her head criticizing Six Leaf for not writing questions randomly. Six Leaf was scolded by her sister and sat there pitifully, not daring to speak, and had no mood to listen to what Bingtang was saying.
Thousand-Pinweed deactivated the ice crystals—after all, the meeting was basically over. She had to go prepare magic to use against the Sect Master. She wasn't interested in this question either; giving the Sect Master a big surprise was more important.
The sword cultivator also sheathed her sharpness, quietly waiting for the answer within her scabbard.
"Sect Master, he will only be interested in the people around him."
After standing up, Bingtang said softly, "It has nothing to do with personality or appearance. What's important is proximity and time."
Hearing this, Yumo clenched her small fists and secretly waved them, "Y-yes!"
"Ah, after all, Yumo stalks the Sect Master every day. That's cheating."
Qinghua immediately stood up, "No good, this question is boring. I still want to know if the Sect Master usually uses the girl's way of squatting to pee..."
"What girl's way of squatting to pee?"
Super Qinghua's whole body stiffened.
She turned her head with difficulty. The Sect Master was looking at her expressionlessly.
She immediately cast pleading glances towards Yumo and Lady Bingtang, but no one paid her any attention.
"I-I was just curious..."
"Have you finished the homework I gave you?"
Super Qinghua's face immediately fell miserably.
"Come, spar."
......
Although it was called sparring, most of the time, it was just getting beaten up.
Keke rubbed the sore spots on her body and took a deep breath.
After getting up in the morning and encountering Teacher Shion on the bed by chance, she was dragged out for special training.
Forced by the teacher to expand her Mental Landscape several times, her Personal Reality felt like it was about to melt down.
The Mental Landscape is the extension and manifestation of one's Personal Reality. Once expanded, even if closed normally, the Personal Reality will experience turbulence, causing mana circulation to become blocked, and magic will be temporarily unusable.
Not to mention being forcibly shattered.
The impact on the Personal Reality is almost devastating. This was how Keke had her Mental Landscape shattered several times by the teacher.
Then she kept getting used to mana circulation and magic construction after her Personal Reality melted down.
From taking almost half an hour to recover at the beginning, she improved to where, after her Personal Reality melted down, her mana circulation efficiency and magic construction returned to normal in about ten minutes.
During this time, Teacher Shion also continuously expanded her own Mental Landscape, demonstrating how to speed up the recovery of Personal Reality.
Even so, it took Keke a whole morning to barely grasp this.
Regarding this, Teacher Shion couldn't help but criticize her a few words.
If it were before, this would probably have depressed Keke all day, even making her feel she did poorly and withdraw into herself the next day.
But now, Keke didn't have the heart to think about these things.
After the special training, Keke didn't even go home, heading straight for the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau.
"Yiyi!"
From the main hall outside the Disaster Control Bureau, to the security room at the back, then to the logistics department, the Magical Girl department, even Peony's fortune-telling room, Keke searched everywhere.
Finally, she saw her captain, chatting with An Shiyu in the training area's break room.
The two were currently holding a cosmetics magazine, talking from lipstick, skincare products, nail polish, all the way to incense, face cream.
Wait, don't you usually talk about snacks and comics, at most some clothes?
Why are you pretending to talk about cosmetics now, when you can't even tell lipstick shades apart...
Although it was unimportant, seeing Silver Lotus chatting so happily with others, especially with An Shiyu, this future major rival, Keke couldn't help but complain in her heart.
"Yiyi!"
Calling out to her friend again, Li Yi finally reacted, looking up at Keke and standing up, "What's up, Keke? Aren't you resting today?"
"I have something to tell you."
Li Yi then turned and smiled apologetically at An Shiyu, "We'll chat later."
Little An over there didn't mind, just smiling and nodding in response, "Mhm, you go ahead, don't worry about me."
When she came out with Keke and saw Keke looking like she was sulking and unwilling to speak, she waved her hand in front of her face, "What's wrong again? Who made you unhappy?"
"Didn't you say you didn't understand cosmetics? How come you understand when chatting with her?"
"I'm asking her precisely because I don't understand." Li Yi blinked, "Cosmetics are so boring, chatting about them makes me sleepy after a while. You're not jealous that I'm getting so close to her, are you?"
"Who's jealous? She's a love rival!" Keke said with exasperation, twisting her friend's face, "How can you get along with her! What if she steals big brother away?"
"Because she's a love rival, I need to get close and understand her." Li Yi said with a smile, "Know yourself and know your enemy, then you can have countermeasures. Hmph, I already know she's actually very dissatisfied with her lip color right now."
As she spoke, she touched her own lips, feeling a little proud, "In terms of lip color, I win! I don't need lipstick!"
"What's there to be proud of? My big brother doesn't look at your lips..."
Feeling exhausted by this friend, Keke wished she could pinch her ears to wake her up, "Stop caring about these little skirmishes! Something big is coming!"
Li Yi was still touching her lips and casually asked, "What big thing?"
"Big brother and Teacher Shion broke up!"
Keke grabbed her hand and shook it, "The opportunity is here! Yiyi! Now that Teacher Shion and big brother have broken up, your chance is the greatest! You must take the initiative, spend more time with my brother..."
As she spoke, Keke noticed her friend didn't even look excited. She was even gently wiping her lips with a damp tissue, keeping them moist, even pursing them, "Oh oh, mhm mhm, broke up, broke up."
She replied perfunctorily, as if she didn't care at all.
Keke stared blankly, "Wow, what kind of attitude is this? Have you already lost interest in my brother? Did your passion cool down this quickly?"
After admiring her own exceptionally satisfying, plump, and moist lips in a small mirror, Li Yi closed the mirror and said helplessly, "No matter how much I like him, I can't rush to snatch him right after your brother just broke up, can I?"
"Why not?"
"Seamlessly moving on will get you criticized." Li Yi thought for another moment, "Also, who knows if your brother and Shion are just having a conflict? Couples arguing and breaking up is normal. What if they get back together right after? Wouldn't I look ridiculous if I hurried to show goodwill so quickly? Do you know why they broke up? Who initiated the breakup? Are you sure they won't get back together?"
A series of questions left Keke dumbfounded on the spot.
"I don't know... Teacher Shion just said they broke up... I think Teacher Shion's words carry weight, she wouldn't go back on her word..."
"Love and ordinary matters are two different things, Keke." Li Yi said earnestly, "A girl in love and a regular girl are two different creatures, understand?"
"I don't."
Li Yi stood on tiptoe and patted Keke's forehead, "Sister Yiyi will teach you properly later."
Keke pouted and swatted her hand away, "Everyone outside says you're the little sister."
"Want to fight?"
"Hmph, I haven't even questioned you about suddenly wearing big brother's tracksuit and running out yesterday!"
"Didn't you say I had no clothes!"
"Give the clothes back."
"No!"
The two girls started pinching and wrestling with each other. The training hall door was pushed open, and An Shiyu poked her head out, extending her hand.
"Actually, Jiang Si told me... if he broke up with Shion, then Jiang Si's girlfriend should, should be me, probably..."
Keke and Li Yi looked at each other and both fell silent.
What are you suddenly saying, you outsider?
And Jiang Si confessed to you? Why don't you say Jiang Si secretly took you on a date alone and even kissed you in the end?
But to directly mock or deny it felt somewhat impolite.
Just as things were getting awkward, Susan walked out from the Security Department, her face still cold and emotionless, holding several documents in her hand.
"Perfect, you're all here. Saves me from looking for you one by one."
As she spoke, Susan unfolded the documents in her hand for them to see.
"The Azure Cloud Sect has conclusively proven that Jiang Si is Simo Tu, the newly appointed East China regional director of the Witch Association. Keke, your brother is suspected of joining the Witch Association, disrupting social order, and engaging in anti-social activities. Currently, the Disaster Control Bureau and the Azure Cloud Sect will jointly issue a warrant and pursue Jiang Si."
As she spoke, Susan handed the documents to Keke, "You can also bring Jiang Si to the Disaster Control Bureau for a witch trial. He might receive leniency."
Keke, her gaze vacant, looked down at the warrant.
Big brother's face and Simo Tu wearing a mask, their figures almost overlapping.
"Huh?"
