A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 166: The Power of Mount Shushan Rules the World, I Hope You Will Lend Me a Hand

The Vice Sect Leader gave the other party a strange look, sizing him up from head to toe.

A Foundation Establishment Stage spy, this level... is it enough?

Li Xuanxiao noticed the suspicion in the Vice Sect Leader’s eyes and immediately said:

"Vice Sect Leader, you may not know, Mount Shushan is united like an iron wall. It’s extremely difficult to break through. Every cultivator who enters Mount Shushan has a bright future and full of hope for their cultivation journey."

"Then what’s your story?" the Vice Sect Leader asked doubtfully.

"This disciple cultivated for many years but could never break through Foundation Establishment. Out of despair and disillusionment, I unintentionally came into contact with the Death Sect and felt the power of the Death Immortal, thus I decided to abandon the light for the darkness."

The Vice Sect Leader nodded thoughtfully.

He communicated with the Sect Leader through the heart lake.

"Sect Leader, is this man reliable?"

"Very reliable!" the Sect Leader replied solemnly through voice transmission.

Hiss~ for the Sect Leader to trust him so much...

The Vice Sect Leader slightly raised his brows.

The Sect Leader, meanwhile, was lost in his memories.

"............."

There was a time when the Death Sect’s Sect Leader was deeply troubled.

Because he noticed that recently, the talent pool seemed to have exploded.

As the Sect Leader of the Death Sect, spreading the Death Immortal’s doctrine naturally required a steady stream of followers.

But the quality of the followers was uneven, making it more of a burden.

Like other heretic and demon sects, the Death Sect also used interviews to screen disciples.

However, for some reason, lately...

It was as if rogue cultivators suddenly had an epiphany: every single one spoke nicely, had great strategic vision, and insights far beyond normal people.

This puzzled many demon sects.

Especially the Death Sect’s Sect Leader. So he sent people to investigate.

And found out—

Someone had secretly launched "Interview Training Classes."

Curious, the Death Sect’s Sect Leader disguised himself and signed up too.

The registration fee was only twenty spirit stones, very cheap.

When he arrived, he found the place packed to the brim.

At first, the Death Sect’s Sect Leader thought it was another scam.

These days, even demon sects got scammed.

But soon enough, the Death Sect’s Sect Leader realized—this guy was the real deal.

"If the interviewer at the demon sect asks you to introduce yourself, how should you answer?

Don’t be fooled by how simple the question sounds—it’s extremely important.

Ordinary answers are too old-fashioned, and rambling ones miss the point.

You need a short yet rich answer.

I’ve summed it up into a formula, only nine spirit stones!"

So the Death Sect’s Sect Leader paid another nine spirit stones.

Self-introduction = Who I am + Why I am qualified + Why I applied.

The Death Sect’s Sect Leader raised a brow thoughtfully—it actually made sense.

The speaker continued smoothly.

"If the examiner asks: what’s your greatest weakness?"

"Absolutely do not try to act clever by saying, ‘My greatest flaw is being too much of a perfectionist when carrying out tasks assigned by superiors.’

Some people think this sounds impressive, but it’s actually disastrous.

The demon sect hates such hollow answers. This question is meant to test you.

You should start with your strengths, insert a minor weakness, and circle back to your strengths—highlighting your good points. For example..."

The speaker paused dramatically.

The audience’s faces were full of anticipation, including the Death Sect’s Sect Leader.

The assistant next to the speaker said: "The next part is paid content. Please pay nine spirit stones if you wish to continue."

Death Sect’s Sect Leader: (⊙o⊙)…

Most people chose to pay and kept listening.

Some even started taking notes in little notebooks.

The speaker lightly coughed: "The correct answer is: I think my biggest flaw is that I get anxious easily.

If a task assigned by superiors or a plan I proposed doesn’t have a 100% guarantee of success, or if it's not fully finalized,

I will keep thinking up new plans, tirelessly finding the best solution,

until everything is confirmed and I can complete the task or plan perfectly.

This stems from a lack of confidence and anxiety, but I’m working to overcome it.

Only an answer like this will satisfy the interviewer."

"You know why you all fail? Because you’re not pure enough as good people, and not ruthless enough as bad ones!!

Don’t naively think being a bad guy is just mindlessly slaughtering and racking up body counts. Wrong!

Totally wrong! No matter what you do, you must have style and class—make others deeply admire your unique charm.

Stop dressing flashy and ridiculous, especially wearing nightwalker suits in broad daylight. It’s idiotic!

And your hairstyles—come on.

Whether roaming the martial world or carrying out missions, you must always appear elegant.

Even when striking someone down, your moves must flow like water, with grace and poise.........."

The Death Sect’s Sect Leader couldn’t help clapping enthusiastically.

A true talent!!!

Soon after, the Death Sect’s Sect Leader bought more materials from him—

"The Self-Cultivation of a Demon Sect Disciple," "How to Grow Your Demon Sect,"

"Demon Sect Expansion Guide."

These included strategies like "Public Opinion Reversal Tactics": establish a "Demon Sect PR Dream Team" to create fake news.

For example, spread gossip like "Mount Shushan’s Sect Leader secretly meets with a young widow," and bribe rumor mongers to spread it everywhere, tarnishing the righteous sect’s reputation.

Make the public believe that though the demon sect is ruthless, at least they aren’t hypocrites.

Then arrange for demon disciples to impersonate righteous disciples,

bullying civilians in town, so demon heroes can swoop in to save the day.

Hire storytellers to spice up and retell these stories in teahouses daily, gradually "whitewashing" the demon sect’s image and winning public support.

For recruitment: set up "Demon Sect Talent Headhunting Agencies" disguised as inns near major sects.

Offer "fast-track promotion paths" to frustrated disciples from various sects.

Meanwhile, diversify industries.

Build a "Demon Sect Fun Park."

Establish a "Demon Sect Magic Artifact Creative R&D Department" to design bizarre but useful artifacts.

Like "Eavesdropping Underpants": once worn, within a certain range you can hear people's thoughts—perfect for intel gathering.

Launch "Buy a magic artifact, get a free Demon Sect experience tour" to boost artifact sales and revenue.

For internal motivation: create a "Best Contribution Award," with lavish prizes.

Like a limited-edition mount used by the Sect Leader himself.

Hold monthly evaluations: contributions could include stealing rare manuals or tricking righteous experts.

Winners get their portraits hung on the "Wall of Honor" at Demon Sect HQ.

This fiercely motivates disciples to work hard for the sect, greatly boosting the sect’s overall strength.......

After reading all this, the Death Sect’s Sect Leader exclaimed—

Holy sh*t!?

Such a talent not joining my sect would be a crime.

Thus, he quickly found Li Xuanxiao.

"The power of Mount Shushan rules the world;I hope you will lend me a hand!!"
