Chapter 23: Local Optimization and Global Optimization
Xiao Jinse didn't see what was happening at all.
She didn't even notice the wind.
Then, a girl who looked much younger than her suddenly appeared at the top of the Qiongming Peak.
Xiao Jinse held her breath involuntarily.
The girl stood there quietly.
Her expression was similar to that of Martial Sister Bai Lian, but her breath was completely different from that of Martial Sister Bai Lian. If Martial Sister Bai Lian is a snow lotus, the girl who suddenly appears in front of her is a God who lives in the nine heaven.
It's beyond reach!
Her head was slightly raised and her face was full of pride, as if she was declaring her disdain for the world.
An Lan!
The name came to Xiao Jinse's mind.
It had a wonderful feeling beyond words.
Probably only this special name can match the extreme temperament of this nearly perfect girl in front of her!
Why 'nearly'? Because Xiao Jinse found that the girl's chest was a little… flat.
"Master, you are back at last. This is your new disciple Xiao Jinse." Bai Lian bowed.
Xiao Jinse quickly shouted "Master" too.
"Yes." An Lan nodded nonchalantly, "This kind of thing is not important. Bai Lian, come in with me first."
"？"
Bai Lian felt doubtful. Something was wrong.
But she can't say anything. Although An Lan is very lazy on ordinary days, once she gets serious, she still has the temperament of the Immortal Heavenly Lord.
Seeing that Bai Lian left with An Lan, Xiao Jinse looked gloomy.
In Master’s eyes, she was really nothing. She guessed the reason she was accepted as a disciple by An Lan was all due to the recommendation of Martial Sister Bai Lian!
Alas.
Xiao Jinse gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.
The more she learns, the more she can't live up to the kindness shown by Martial Sister Bai Lian. One month later, she must get good results in the competition among the new disciples.
"I won't disgrace Martial Sister Bai Lian!"
Recently, it has been rumored that the number of disciples of the Qiongming Peak is not enough. In order to maintain its status as one of the five main Peaks of the Duxian sect, Bai Lian casually found a waste disciple from outside to fill the number.
……
In the bedroom.
Bai Lian stood respectfully behind An Lan.
An Lan looked carefully at the landscape paintings hanging on the wall and suddenly said, "Little Bai Lian, I heard that you have made great progress recently."
My pleasure.
Bai Lian quickly reused the second younger Martial Sister's words, "It's thanks to your teachings, Master An Lan."
An Lan didn't say anything.
She suddenly pointed to a mountain in the painting and said, "Do you know what Yan Yue said to me?"
Bai Lian shook her head. "I don't know."
A bad feeling rose in her mind.
"Cough."
An Lan cleared her throat. She opened her mouth slightly. The voice squeezed out of her throat was exactly the same as Bai Lian's voice, "Master Yan really taught a good disciple. I'm inferior to this younger Martial Sister! As the eldest disciple, I don’t dare confront my Master about her bad habits as this younger Martial Sister did. I… alas…"
Bai Lian was stunned by An Lan's long performance.
Damn!
I understand!
Bai Lian's face turned pale.
The future trouble hinted at by the system's difficult tasks has emerged!
At this moment, most of her earlier doubts were solved.
Why didn't Yan Yue get angry?
Because Yan Yue liked to hear what she said.
Why did this self-modesty enable her to acquire a new spell?
Because this sentence implies a "complaint" against An Lan.
Who is An Lan?
The Immortal Heavenly Lord from the Immortal World!
Among the many famous quotes she left behind, one of them said so——
“The Heavenly Lord cannot be disgraced!!!”
How horrible!
An Lan looked at Bai Lian with a smile, "Little Bai Lian, tell me, what are my shortcomings?"
"……"
That's too much!
But…
Fearful of An Lan's fist, Bai Lian didn't dare to say a bad word. She smiled, "No, no, my Master has no shortcomings. I was threatened by Master Yan Yue, and in order to protect my younger Martial Sister, I had to say so."
"Hum!" An Lan immediately snorted.
Trying to deceive her? This possibility doesn't exist!
"Master Yan Yue? She's nothing but garbage!"
Yes, yes, yes. Your fist is bigger than mine, so everything you say is right. Bai Lian didn't dare to provoke An Lan.
An Lan is the most difficult one to gain goodwill from in the game. On one hand, she is eccentric and elusive. On the other hand, her strength is extraordinary.
If she hadn't fallen into a short Low Tide in order to restore her original strength, the game Bai Lian would never have had a chance to do bad things to her.
After mercilessly scolding Yan Yue, An Lan turned her attention to Bai Lian.
"Do you know your mistake?"
Bai Lian nodded quickly, "I know, I know."
An Lan said, "Your voice is too weak!"
Bai Lian glanced at the door.
An Lan said, "I have added sound insulation."
So Bai Lian shouted at the top of her voice, "I'm wrong!"
An Lan picked up the ruler and struck Bai Lian's palm a few times.
How shameful! Bai Lian was depressed.
However, An Lan is simply too strong. She doesn't have the courage to disobey An Lan.
It's all the fault of the system. If it hadn't suddenly popped up a task, she wouldn't have to suffer at all.
At this moment, Bai Lian realized again.
It seems like she chooses the optimal solution every time she does a task, but the local optimal solution is not necessarily the global optimal solution.
Just like now, didn’t she annoy An Lan?
The world is so malicious to her!
An Lan threw away the ruler, "To not disturb the education of your Younger Martial Sister, I won't give you additional punishment."
Bai Lian smiled awkwardly, "Thank you, Master."
An Lan sneered.
She looked at Bai Lian with great interest. She again found the abnormality she saw the first time she met Bai Lian.
However, the numerous "Death" words on Bai Lian's body have become fainter!
This is a change that has never happened in the past three years.
When An Lan observed deeply, she found that the color of the "Death" was a little weaker but the number seems to have increased.
Does this mean that once it breaks out, it will be more terrible than before?
An Lan didn't understand.
Because she didn't understand, she wanted to see the consequences even more!
The first thing she needs to find out is why this change has taken place in Bai Lian. If there is any difference between the current Bai Lian and the past Bai Lian, it is that she has a Martial Sister recently.
"I have decided!" An Lan suddenly said.
Bai Lian looked at An Lan suspiciously, "Master?"
An Lan said with a smile, "I decided to help you find more Martial Sisters!"
Ah, this? Bai Lian quickly stood up and tried to stop An Lan from getting her murdered.
"I have made up my mind." An Lan stopped Bai Lian with this one sentence. "I'll go out and help you find more Martial Sisters after a while."
Bai Lian's forehead was covered in a cold sweat, "Master, isn't this too fast?"
A similar event in the game should happen only a year later, asshole!
"Fast? No, there are only the three of us in Qiongming Peak. It won't be crowded even with dozens of people.”
Give me a break, I'm just a disciple!
Bai Lian was agitated as she walked out.
A future Holy Spirit Goddess is already very difficult to cope with. How can she survive if she in addition has Rebirth of the Rebellious Shura Martial Sister?!
This scene completely escaped Xiao Jinse's eyes.
The girl was puzzled. Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian's face was as white as snow when she went in. Why was she flushed when she came out?
What did she and Master do inside?
