In the suite at East Lake Residence.

Zhang Bin lay on the bed, looking lazy and for all the world like a Big Bad Egg. Tian Bingbing's lap served as his pillow, yet his hands refused to stay still.

"Senior Brother, if you don't behave, I'm going to ignore you," Tian Bingbing said coquettishly.

"Bingbing, let me tell you, honest men generally don't amount to much. They're too timid and lack grand ambitions," Zhang Bin began to spout nonsense. "It's men like me who have real prospects, the most badass of them all. I'll definitely become a true big shot in the future."

"Hee hee hee... You're just a little farmer. And a dishonest one at that. One might even call you a scoundrel," Tian Bingbing giggled sweetly.

"Bingbing... tell me, what are you to me now?" Zhang Bin asked with a mischievous smile.

"I'm your junior sister," Tian Bingbing said shyly.

"And?" Zhang Bin asked wickedly.

"I'm also your partner," Tian Bingbing whispered, her voice quieter than a mosquito's buzz.

"And?" Zhang Bin pressed on wickedly.

"I-I-I'm also your girlfriend." Tian Bingbing's voice became nearly inaudible. She was so embarrassed she wished a hole would open in the ground so she could crawl in and hide.

*Three thousand words omitted.*

The two exchanged sweet nothings, completely reluctant to go out. In the end, Tian Bingbing called Tian Guangjin to let him know she wouldn't be returning that night. Tian Guangjin didn't dare interfere in his Master's personal affairs, so he said nothing. The couple continued to bask in their tender affection.

「The next morning, Zhang Bin finally emerged from the room with Tian Bingbing, heading for the martial arts hall with a look of high-spirited vigor.」

On closer inspection, Tian Bingbing had become even more beautiful. Her skin was far more supple, so tender it looked as if it would release water if pinched.

Upon entering the martial arts hall, they discovered it had been completely transformed, decorated with lanterns and banners everywhere. Nearly a hundred young men and women, dressed in Taoist Robes that had been hastily made overnight, were rehearsing in the hall's main square. They were planning a grand lion dance parade through the streets to showcase the Taiqing Sect's name.

"Greetings, Master." Seeing Zhang Bin and Tian Bingbing return, Tian Guangjin excitedly rushed forward to greet them with a respectful bow.

Last night, he had used Spirit Stones to cultivate the Three Purities Secret Technique, and the rate at which he accumulated True Qi was a hundred times faster than before. He saw a bright future and now truly believed what Zhang Bin had said. With sufficient cultivation resources, he, Tian Guangjin, could also reach the Golden Core Realm. At that point, he would be considered one of the most powerful experts in all of China. How glorious that would be!

"Greetings, Grandmaster!" Nearly a hundred of Tian Guangjin's disciples shouted in unison, their faces filled with surprise and excitement. Zhang Bin had reverted to his original appearance, and they all recognized him.

"There's no need for such formalities." A keen light shone in Zhang Bin's eyes as he scanned over them one by one. He noted they were all young and had already established a foundation in cultivation. They were a promising batch indeed. Secretly pleased, he waited for them to stand before turning to Tian Guangjin and saying, "Disciple, as for these former disciples of yours, any who have laid a foundation and possess a degree of talent may be accepted as Outer Sect Disciples of the Taiqing Sect. I hope that in the future, some of them may become Official Disciples."

"Yes, Master," Tian Guangjin replied joyfully.

The disciples themselves were so ecstatic they nearly went mad. They all met the conditions! From this day forward, they would truly be Outer Sect Disciples of the Taiqing Sect, a sect on par with the Kunlun Sect! This was like ascending to the heavens in a single step
