In the cultivation world, some perceptive sect leaders notice that ever since they took in a certain disciple, more people have come knocking to avenge old grudges, more have shown up to challenge the sect and cause trouble, and even the ancient magical beasts in the mountains behind the sect have been beaten up for no apparent reason.
When this happens, a clearheaded sect leader should know that these are the telltale signs of having taken in a jinx.
In my sect, I have to deal with four such jinxes every day.
To be honest, I don't want to be a sect leader anymore. The next time that super good-for-nothing outer-sect disciple brings his Heaven-Reaching System and eagerly heads to the back mountain to beat up an ancient magical beast, I'm going to give him a couple of good slaps.
It's only been ten days this month, and the magical beasts have already been beaten up by twenty people, twenty-one times. Is that any way to act?!
