The third day arrived, and the game update was complete, with an official notification posted on the official website.

Players logged in en masse, eager to explore the new content of the update.

"Damn, are there so many secondary professions? Can you even go to a brothel and be a Turtle Master?"

"What the heck? How come I didn't see that profession?"

"Hmm, is it just me, or does the Blood Demoness seem prettier than before?"

"Did the game designers change the character models again? Why didn't they make Brother Xu a bit uglier?"

"..."

The introduction of secondary professions had truly excited quite a few players.

After all, secondary professions involved cycling tasks. Each stage offered higher rewards than the last. Completing an entire profession's tasks yielded rewards not inferior to those from large tasks.

As for Xu Nian, he gathered Junlin and his team of five to once again inquire about their wishes.

After all, leaving now would mean abandoning the gameplay of secondary professions, including the rewards from life tasks.

Not everyone was willing to do that.

At least Little Boss didn't want to go to the Capital City.

"You decide for yourselves if you want to head over to the Capital City. The journey there will take at least half a month."

Game time corresponds to real-time.

Half a month's time, even for a construction task, was enough for players to make a tidy profit.

"I'm not going."

Little Boss shook his head, "I'd prefer to stay in the sect."

With his statement, I, Xuanqing, promptly followed suit.

"I won't go either. We newer disciples are too weak and need to stay behind to improve our power."

Flourishing Flowers hesitated for half a moment before shaking her head, "Then I won't join in on the excitement. Improving power is key."

Now, only the Iron-blooded War Hero and Junlin remained.

Naturally, the Iron-blooded War Hero wouldn't go either.

He preferred to interact with players to better understand the game.

As for Junlin, the Lingxiao Hall wasn't worried about Contribution Points at all. As long as they deposited their points at the Hall, they would continually generate interest.

It was, in essence, a way to roll profits over and over.

"I can go!"

Junlin immediately made it clear he was willing to go.

But now it was just him, and it was uncertain if he could be of any help.

Seeing this, Xu Nian sighed.

Actually, what he really hoped was that Junlin wouldn't go and the others would accompany him to the Capital City. After all, with Junlin already at the Grandmaster Realm, if he stayed to oversee the sect, he could deter those with malicious intentions.

After hesitating for a while, Xu Nian shook his head, "Junlin, you can't go. You are the only Grandmaster among the disciples. Stay and help the Blood Demoness look after the sect."

When the Sect Leader spoke, Junlin was unable to protest.

If he couldn't go, then so be it. Staying to do secondary profession tasks wasn't bad either. There were even Escort tasks among the secondary professions. He could take the disciples of Lingxiao Hall on escort missions.

The few people who were initially set to go were now unable to do so.

Xu Nian felt quite a headache coming on.

The Capital City was a den of dragons and tigers. He certainly couldn't handle it alone. He needed the help of other players to be assured of success.

"Talk to the other disciples and see who wants to go to the Capital City with me."

Xu Nian delegated the task to Junlin and his team, then waved his hand to signify they could leave.

After everyone had left, the Blood Demoness, who had notably changed, slowly walked in.

With a coquettish smile, she asked, "What's the matter? Does my Great Sect Leader have worries too? Weren't you very impressive last night?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian rolled his eyes.

How could it be the same? He was preparing to go to the Capital City; how could he not make sure everything was ready? Women. Sometimes it's easy for them to say, not feeling the actual strain. It seems you have to let them exert themselves. Then, their backs would be the ones aching, not his.

COUGH! COUGH!

"You're not going to read anymore?"

Xu Nian had now given the Blood Demoness access to view the martial arts manuals, but she seemed uninterested.

"I just finished reading. Now, I've come to see how my Great Sect Leader is doing."

As she spoke, the Blood Demoness pressed up against him and then, twisting like a serpent, burrowed into Xu Nian's embrace.

Temptress! It must be said. The Blood Demoness truly knew how to play to a man's aesthetic, and her figure was beyond reproach. Even Xu Nian, who had reached the Grandmaster Realm, felt mentally and physically exhausted.

Just then, it seemed like footsteps were approaching from outside. The Blood Demoness quickly wriggled out of Xu Nian's embrace, getting up with a seductive smile fixed on Xu Nian.

She looked just like a thief with a guilty conscience.

At the entrance of the Great Hall, three players approached, their faces filled with smiles.

"Sect Leader, we are willing to follow you to the Capital City!"

This declaration was a ray of hope for Xu Nian. Finally, there were people willing to join him.

When he turned around, his smile froze instantly, and he stiffened on his cushion.

The three players at the doorway were indeed beyond Xu Nian's expectations. Dung Beetle, Hero Xu Xian, the Top Archer in the National Server. One had the greatest courage among the players. Another eschewed Talent-based development for a self-made path. And the last was truly the top Archer. The very first one to truly experience life in a brothel, who then wrote a hundred thousand words of experience on the forums. Practicing dual cultivation martial arts, but unable to find a female player to partner with. So he went to the brothel to play? The three most troublesome players gathered together, and they were following him to the Capital City—could the Capital City still be peaceful? Oh boy! My goodness! Even immortals would shake their heads seeing these three fellows.

Xu Nian hesitated for a long while before finally letting out a sigh, "Alright, get ready. We'll set off today."

Having three players with him was certainly better than none. He hoped these three guys would keep it together in the Capital City.

Immediately, the three men turned around and ran excitedly towards the stables to fetch horses.

"How about that? I told you the three of us wouldn't be a problem."

"This time Flourishing Flowers lost the bet, let's go get the Contribution Points from her first, how about that?"

"Once we're in the Capital City, I'll make sure stinky tofu becomes famous!"

"..."

The three of them chatted and laughed.

Xu Nian sighed.

He had the feeling that bringing these three characters to the Capital City significantly increased the difficulty of the Capital City Dungeon.

Seeing Xu Nian like this, the Blood Demoness asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy to have companions for the trip?"

"'I would rather have someone else join me on the journey to the Capital City,' Xu Nian complained, then stood up to check outside."

Ensuring no one was looking towards the Great Hall, he quickly stepped forward and gave the Blood Demoness a quick peck on the lips, like a pecking chick.

"Wait for my return."

"Mhm!"

The Blood Demoness nodded lightly.

That seemed to be the best response.

Everything was so casual, yet it all seemed perfectly fitting.

This time, heading to the Capital City, besides Xu Nian and the three players, there was also Shen Rongyin.

She seemed intent only on following Xu Nian, showing no intention of staying behind.

Or perhaps she knew that staying behind alone wouldn't be a good choice for her.

At least, all members of the Profound Yellow Sect were wary of her…
