601 The Daily Routine (1/2)
When he came out of the room, Wang Lu felt that his head had begun to hurt.
If he knew that things would develop to this point, he would just sit still and brace for the speedy gossip propagation. Let alone a gossip was just that, a gossip—anyone who could use their head should know that it was just a misunderstanding—how could a grand Daoist Master of Non-Phase who was known to have thick skin be that sensitive! Wang Lu had no need to pay attention to those who could not use their head.
In any case, his reputation had never been good. Since he crushed Liu Li with his IQ in his early years, he was described by a group of 'white knights' as the world's most despicable and shameless man in the underhanded means. And over the years, after one controversial victory after another, people's evaluation of him had also become more polarized. Therefore, Wang Lu didn't worry that he had no personal enemies. Even if Zhu Shiyao's misunderstanding spread… at most, he would just need to spend some effort to hire professional lawyers to sue those who spread the rumors until they lose their family fortune!
Unfortunately, a moment of wavering had led him to choose a path that seemed like a shortcut but actually led to hell.
Just now, in her room, the girl Murong Bingli and Daoist Master Miao Yan had made an agreement to form a popular idol group in Nine Regions, so that men and women all over the world would become their captive.
Daoist Master Miao Yan initially didn't care about unwarranted reputation since she only pursued the realization of her own aesthetic. However, after a heart-to-heart talk with Murong Bingli in the room, she was moved by the former's ideals and became an important member of the group.
As long as he thought that in the near future, the cultivators under the heaven would hold the fluorescent stick and shout 'Long Live Wu'Er,' Wang Lu felt that he would become the sinner of the Nine Regions. A moment of error let him opened the terrifying door, and when he tried to close it, he was actually not able to.
No. Wait a minute, things were really not that desperate. If there was a day when the idol group of Murong Bingli became ungoverned, then all he had to do was to exert his influence in the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals to ask the relevant departments to issue a notice to ban the bad artists.
”Alas, before that, however, I can only hope that the people of Nine Regions to take care of themselves. My hands are already full, I have no time and energy to entangle myself in this matter.”
Although there was a trace of 'escape from reality' in this reason, the burden on Wang Lu was indeed very heavy. As the chief planner of the contest, he had to spend a lot of time thinking and making decisions. Moreover, he was also one of the main forces in the Jindan Stage fighting group and in the civil category; he, a person, participated in more than fifty events and had a considerable advantage in most of them.
He had to spend time practicing for the events and commanding the overall situation from a higher angle. He was so busy that he looked as if he was flying all the time. Fortunately, the training partner in the fighting group, Murong Bingli, abandoned her post to pursue her dream, which caused the training of the fighting group to temporarily be paralyzed, leaving Wang Lu with a few days of breathing time.
Therefore, Wang Lu had the energy to pay attention to some minor things in his busy schedule.

”Brother Wang Lu, this is the form that you want.”
In the bedroom that Wang Lu had changed into an office, Hai Yunfan, the disciple of Ten Thousand Arts Sect, handed Wang Lu a form that contained the information that Wang Lu wanted.
This noble son of a royal family had been cultivating immortal cultivation for more than twenty years, with a top cultivation base among the inner court disciples. His meticulous thinking, strict execution, and strong tolerance were even more precious. Therefore, Hai Yunfan was fortunate enough to join the organizer team, becoming Wang Lu's personal secretary.
And toward this secretary, Wang Lu's evaluation was very positive, especially because of the effort that was given to make the report in his hand. Even the typesetting and writing of the report were perfect, which made people sigh with emotion.
”Little Hai, apart from sex, you are a perfect secretary.”
Hai Yunfan said with a wry smile, ”Brother Wang, you are speaking more and more like my wife.”
Wang Lu was stunned. ”... Are you flirting with me or making a perverted confession?”
”Sorry for that indiscreet remark, but I just couldn't help but say it a moment ago… As I mentioned in my previous letter to you, Feifei, who has been stuck in a bottleneck in recent years, had been asked by her master to extensively explore knowledge and expand her accumulation. Thus, she began to indulge in all kinds of novels, especially in infernal hell. Sometime ago… when I tried double cultivate with her to break through the bottleneck, she suddenly said that if she were a man, she and I would be perfect.”
”…”
Wang Lu used more than fifty percent of his Jindan Stage strength to stop himself from laughing, but his voice still came out slightly distorted, ”If necessary, I can help you contact Daoist Master Miao Yan. She seems to be quite professional in this respect.”
Hai Yunfan sighed. ”I finally understand the meaning of the word 'besieged' that Brother Wang wrote on the congratulatory letter of my wedding ceremony.”
”Hahaha, little Hai, this kind of thinking is very dangerous, it's the precursor of having extramarital affair! So, do you want me to introduce you to several mistresses?”
As he laughed, he looked down at the report and then, shortly afterward, sighed.
”This Luo Xiao is really talented, participating in thirteen competitions, of which the weighted level of the five key competitions is above grade B. And he has excellent performance in all of that. He would soon catch up with me.”
”Catch up with you? Your data is at least three times more than him, so he's not on the same magnitude as you. Moreover, among Jindan Stage cultivators, there are more than a couple of cultivators that performed better than Luo Xiao. The lead disciples of the Five Unique are all above him. So, why do you pay so much attention to him?”
Wang Lu said, ”My intuition tells me that this guy is not a good thing.”
