After hearing my reason for taking my bag, she didnt comment. Instead she opened her beautiful eyes wide, and asked: “You want to go to Liu Shan Men”

“I just want to go and see what its like.” I felt like that wasnt convincing enough, so I added: “If its boring, Ill come right back.”

“So youre saying you wont come back if you find it interesting”

She scanned me from head to toe, and before I could say anything to break the awkward atmosphere, she narrowed her eyes, and said:

“Then Im coming too.”

“I want to see if Liu Shan Men really is that interesting, so interesting that they managed to lure my sect's next successor in.”

Hey! That topic is taboo!

I never promised to be the successor!!

She wouldnt listen to me at all, so all I could do was keep silent and bring her with me to Nan Jing.

Luckily, my run-down house is only half-a-day away from Nan Jing, so we were able to enter the city before sunset with our speed.

I intended to sneak out and go register, but instead saw my goddess -junior shiyi waiting for me at the lodgings door.

“I knew you would try and sneak away. Lets get going or well be late.”

How are you so beautiful…

We talked and laughed with each other along the way until we reached our destination. We saw the big lacquer red door with a sign that said “Liu Shan Mens Nan Jing Headquarters” which was easy to understand and displayed facing the crowd.

“They really mean business. Look at the way they present themselves. Working for the government is the best choice you can make." I wasted no time trying to hypnotise my junior shiyi.

She blinked a few times, and then asked: “So youll come back and become the sect leader if I get people to re-paint our door”

“Pfft, what use is a big door”

“Then what does this door prove”

“……”

How come Ive never won an argument since her since I was a kid

She stroked her smooth snow-white chin and put on a hesitant expression.

“Haa~ youre the only disciple of your master that can work independently. Youve never been at ease since there are so many disciples on the mountain. I dont understand why you arent willing to become the sect leader. Without you, no one in the wulin would even know of Mount Daluo.”

Oi, oi, thats because theres no one else whos willing to accept that position, isnt it If someone was willing to take on that **ty job, Id have been thrown out moons ago. I never wouldve even been offered a chance.

Seeing her pretend to be pouting and sulking, I decided to tease her.

"Ill accept the position on one condition.”

“What”

Her eyes lit up, as she said: “As long as its reasonable, Ill agree to anything.”

"Marry me."

"Get lost!"

Her small white face looked flustered, and she said: “Hmph, I knew you were going to be a smartass. Listen, part of the reason I came looking for you was because your shifu asked me to. He told me to bring you back and complete the succession ceremony if you werent doing anything and just messing around.”

He said that! He definitely got some household name heros daughter or a pair of sisters pregnant, otherwise he wouldnt call a loser like me back in such a hurry.

“I certainly am not messing around. Im looking for work right now, arent I”

She smiled as though she knew what I was thinking.

“I know what youre thinking. You just dont want to go back, am I right In that case, enjoy your retirement here.”

My entire heart was filled with warmth… She treats me so well… Better than my own shifu.

“However, if this places turns out to be trash, Im going to drag you back. If you disobey me, Ill break your legs.”

She definitely treats me better than my shifu. I remember the last time I refused to succeed the position as sect leader, he threatened to break all three of my legs…*

We spoke over each other as we entered the first examination location.

“Wherere you from Cant you see were conducting examinations here Go line up.”

We were pointed to the line where the examinees wearing casual clothes were lined up. The line was long enough to go around the entire place once.

That long Well, nothing we can do about it.

This is work after all, so everyone is treated equally, and everyone will get a chance. Ill just see what everybody else is like then.

Junior shiyi and I went and stood at the back of the line sharing the same thoughts, as we watched the examinees.

A young man entered and formally greeted them.*

“My name is Su Xiao.”

I looked and him and instinctively said: “Oh That guy doesnt look too bad.”

Junior shiyi also looked in his direction, and whistled like a thug. She then said: “I agree.”

Together we added: “He doesn't look too shabby”***

Glossary

*In Chinese, your third leg is your ding-a-ling

**He greeted them by forming a fist in one hand and wrapping it with his other palm (http://www.csc.edu.cn/laihua/upload/image/20140822/20140822171304_0054.jpg) I didn't translate it like that because it's essentially a greeting, and you as readers may not know what that means, plus it would be a literal translation which is for amateurs.

***They're referring to his appearance there
