The girl stepped closer to Xu Ming and sat near her.

"Wake up!" She said as she tapped his shoulders. ​​

Xu Ming opened his eyes and saw the girl sitting in front of him.

"What are you doing in my courtyard?" He asked in surprise.

"Are you going to marry me or not?" She asked him.

"I'm not going to marry you. Please leave," He told her.

"Do you think you can just leave me after using me to fulfill your beastly desires?" She asked as she smirked.

Xu Ming looked at her with a confused look on his face.

"Did you lose your memory?" He asked in a surprise.

"Sigh, You still don't understand, Do you?" She said as she tore off the sleeves of her clothes.

"What are you doing?" He asked in surprise.

"What am I doing? What do you think will happen if I scream that you have forced me to sleep with you?" He asked.

"Are you threatening me?" He asked as he looked at her in full seriousness.

"Yes! If you don't agree to marry me, I will tell everyone about your beastly nature. I'll make it difficult for you to live in the sect," She said as she smiled.

"You're indeed crazy. Leave and do what you want," He told her before he stood up and walked up to his bed.

"Y-you're seriously not worried? You think that I won't do it?! Think carefully! If I do it, you will be punished! You might even be crippled!" She said.

"Leave right now! I don't have time to entertain you. Only an idiot will believe you," He told her.

"You are crazy! You should be scared! Why aren't you scared!" She bellowed at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming didn't reply to her.

"Hmph! You're right! I won't do it as I don't want my future husband to die. Mother said that I must always protect my husband. I'll pick a different way then!" She said as she stood up and walked up to Xu Ming.

She sat on the bed right beside him.

Xu Ming stood up and walked to the other side of the bed, but she followed him. She kept sticking closer to him.

"I didn't see you naked 3 times! So you don't have to do it! It was so dark the first time that I didn't even see you. So you're still free," Xu Ming lied in order to get her to leave.

"Do you think you can fool me! I won't leave unless you promise to marry me!" She replied.

"There's no way I'm going to marry you! For the last time, leave, before I get angry," Xu Ming warned her.

"Nope," She said as she placed her arms on her thin waist and glared at him.

Xu Ming stepped towards her as he picked her in his arms and carried her on his shoulders like a sack of potatoes before he started walking towards the exit.

"Hey! Put me down!" The girl said, but Xu Ming only stopped when he was out of his courtyard and put her down before he entered his courtyard and closed the door.

He walked up to his room. His cultivation was once interrupted and he wasn't in the mood to cultivate anymore. He took off his clothes as he entered the washroom to shower.

"He didn't close the windows? Hah, he didn't think how I entered, did he?" The girl muttered with a wry smile on her face as she again entered his place through the window.

She walked to his bedroom, but she didn't find Xu Ming there. All she saw were his clothes lying on the bed.

'The clothes that he was wearing? Is he in the shower?" She muttered as she heard the sound of water droplets falling on the ground.

"Hmph! Despite being a guy, he thinks that he can leave me? Even if he doesn't accept it, I'm already his wife," She said in full seriousness as she stepped towards the washroom.

The door of the washroom was closed, but it wasn't locked. She entered the place and saw Xu Ming. Xu Ming's back was facing him.

"Should I help?" She asked.

Xu Ming turned back in surprise and he was shocked to see her there.

"Can't you leave me alone? I'm having some serious thoughts about killing you now!" Xu Ming let out in anger as he glared at her.

"First promise to marry me!" She said in stubbornness.

He stepped towards her and grabbed her neck as he raised her in the air.

The girl was clearly having difficulty in breathing, but her eyes didn't look the least bit worried.

"Promise to marry me!" She repeated.

"Alright. You can come tomorrow and we can talk about it in full seriousness. Right now I'm tired and I can't think proper," He told her as he put her down with an annoyed look on her face.

She smiled as she said, "That's like my good husband. I'll come tomorrow and we can clear the details."

"I'll leave now. A girl and a boy shouldn't stay together before marriage," She said as she left.

"Crazy girl. But as I said, I can't marry you," Xu Ming muttered as he continued his shower.

He left the shower and got dressed before he resumed his cultivation.

Just like that, morning arrived. Xu Ming got up and left his courtyard as he walked towards the entrance of the inner sect. As he got there, he saw Wu Tian and Zi Zhenfeng already waiting there.

"Hey, you're finally here," Zi Zhenfeng said.

They showed their provisional badges to guards and entered the inner sect. They got to the Sect Registration Hall. They entered the place and saw Xuan Yu there. He was the person that was assigned to them to show them around and get them registered.

"You're here. Stand in the line. When it's your number, you can enter the place and register yourself so that you can get your real badges," Xuan Yu said.

They stood in the line. There were already 20 other provisional disciples there ahead of them. After 50 minutes, it was finally their number. Xu Ming was first to enter amongst them and soon came out of there with a new and shining badge on his chest. He also had a Dark Green Robe that was the proof of him being an Inner sect disciple.

Zi Zhenfeng and Wu Tian also got their badges.

More disciples kept going in and coming out and soon all those that had passed the Trials were finished with the Registration.

"Congratulations guys. The 40 of you are now the official disciple of the Inner Sect. Come with me. I'll show you around," Xuan Yu congratulated them before he walked out of the Registration Hall.

He walked on the walkway while the other disciples followed him.

"You guys are new so you might not know a few of our rules that are different from the Outer Sect, but I'll tell you today and you must keep them in mind. If anyone is found breaking them, they would be crippled or killed. So listen carefully," Xuan Yu said.

"Rule 1: You can involve yourself in sexual activities with other disciples, but you can't force anyone?"

"Rule 2: If you kill someone in the sect, you will be crippled unless you can convince the Elders' Panel that you had a valid reason. But don't even try it as no one had ever managed to convince them after killing anyone," Xuan Yu continued.

"Rule 3: The Inner Sect has a ranking system. You can challenge anyone that has a ranking and if you win, you will get their ranking and that person will lose his ranking. But if you challenge and fail 5 times without even a single victory, you will be crippled and thrown out of the sect,"

"Rule 4: Falling in love with someone from the outside is a crime. If you're done out, you will either be crippled or killed along with your lover,"

"Rule 5; If you cause harm to any property belonging to the sect, you will have to pay 10 times its cost in 7 days and if you fail, you will be killed,

"Rule 6: You must complete 1 mission of this sect every 6 months. If you fail, you will be crippled,"

"Rule 7... Oh, we're already here. This place is the Skill Hall where you can get skills in exchange for contribution points to the sect. It's an important place of the Sect," He said as he noticed a building on his left.

"Let's continue. Rule 7: You must..." He continued speaking about the rules as he resumed talking.

Xuan Yu had told them about 20 rules before they got to the next important place.

"This is the 8 Trigram Battle Formation. You can come here once a month and take the test. Your performance here will determine your Ranking. It's the second way of getting a rank without having to challenge someone," Xuan Yu said.

"It's you?" Xuan Yu was still speaking when someone called from behind. Xu Ming and the others turned back to look at the person.
