Chapter 332: Nunnery

Then again, the disciples from the Major Sects were, after all, much stronger and more talented.

The current number one of the Chu Family’s younger generation, Chu Wushuang, was merely in the Qi Cultivation Realm and had yet to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm.

As for the other disciples of the Chu Family, the gap was even wider.

"Senior Sister, you’re being too modest," Bai Qing said. "With your strength, you’re one of the very best among all the Sects on the Great Northwest Snow Mountain."

Just then, the car began to jostle as the road became much rougher than before.

Coupled with the constant incline, the drive was becoming rather strenuous.

Yet, Bai Xue and the others were perfectly calm. It seemed this was a common occurrence for them.

This, however, made Su Miaoke very nervous. She gripped Chu Feng’s hand tightly, looking quite frightened.

The road was steep, with a cliff right beside it, and rocks would occasionally tumble down from the mountain ahead.

"This... This is too dangerous, isn’t it?" Su Miaoke said, her voice laced with fear.

"Hahaha, it’s fine. Don’t worry. Your husband’s right here, you have nothing to fear," Chu Feng said with a laugh.

Seeing this, Bai Qing asked curiously, "Brother, are you and this sister really husband and wife?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Would we be holding onto each other this tightly if we weren’t?" Chu Feng replied with a smile.

Su Miaoke was now clinging to Chu Feng for dear life, refusing to let go.

"Well, we were just curious. Seeing this happen right in front of us is just... unbelievable. The Sect has always forbidden us from having any relations with men, let alone accepting married disciples. Normally, in a situation like this, they would have their hands and feet chopped off and be thrown out of the Sect," Bai Qing explained.

"Holy crap, were you guys really that harsh? Chopping off limbs? That’s..." Chu Feng was stunned.

"Yes. This rule was clearly emphasized to everyone before they joined. We’re constantly reminded of it. If anyone breaks it, there’s nothing to be done. You could only say they brought it on themselves," Bai Qing said.

"That’s... that’s terrifying. No wonder you don’t have any male disciples. Anyone who went would just be courting death," Chu Feng said, a look of mock fear on his face.

He figured that in the past, there must have been guys who joined the Celestial Sword Sect just to hit on girls. ’But once they got in, they were probably done for. The second they tried anything, it would be SNIP.’

"That’s why people often make fun of the Celestial Sword Sect, calling it a nunnery," Bai Qing muttered under her breath.

She was the more lively one, keeping the conversation going the entire way.

"Hahaha, they’re not wrong, are they? At this point, what’s the difference between you and nuns? Maybe the only difference is that you eat meat and they don’t," Chu Feng roared with laughter.

He really didn’t have to hold back. After all, he was now a member of the Celestial Sword Sect—and the Senior Brother, no less.

Besides, with his level of strength, who would dare to lecture him? He had nothing to fear.

He had already made it clear to the Sect Leader of the Celestial Sword Sect that he was only joining to learn the Celestial Sword Technique.

"Senior Brother, you can say that here, but please don’t say it once we get to the Sect. A lot of the senior sisters there have bad tempers. If they hear you say that, they’ll definitely come looking for trouble," Bai Qing said.

"Oh, really? Alright then, I won’t say it anymore. Hey, Senior Sister Bai Xue, you’re not mad hearing that, are you?" Chu Feng asked.

"I’m not angry. It’s just a fact, so there’s nothing to be angry about. But some of the older senior sisters in the Sect are different. Because of that rule, they’ve gone half their lives without any contact with men. If they hear themselves described that way, they’ll definitely be furious."

"But that rule has been abolished now. They should all be very happy about it, I think," Bai Xue said.

She hadn’t actually wanted to bring it up, preferring to wait for the Sect to make the official announcement so everyone would find out at once.

But since the cat was out of the bag, so be it.

"Senior Sister Bai Xue, is what you said about the rule being abolished really, truly true?" the two junior sisters asked eagerly.

They were only human, after all, and in the prime of their youth. As the saying goes, what young woman doesn’t dream of romance? It was only natural to become curious about the opposite sex as one came of age.

Being forced to have no contact with the opposite sex was something most people would find unbearable; they could only grit their teeth and endure.

In fact, this very rule was one of the reasons for the Celestial Sword Sect’s gradual decline.

By only recruiting female disciples, they had missed out on countless exceptionally talented men.

If these men had been allowed to join, the Celestial Sword Sect would surely still be in its glory days.

Just because one pursued cultivation didn’t mean they chose to be celibate and childless—unless that was their own heartfelt wish.

"Of course it’s true. You’ll find out once we get back to the Sect, won’t you? And for this, you have your Senior Brother to thank," Bai Xue said.

In truth, it made no difference to her whether the rule existed or not.

Her world consisted of nothing but cultivation; only the Martial Dao truly mattered to her.

"Senior Sister Bai Qin has been waiting for this day for over a decade. She’ll probably be ecstatic when she hears the news," Bai Qing said.
