It's practically impossible!

The senior before me possessed extraordinary cultivation.

Furthermore, being able to tame the ancient divine beast, the Phoenix, which has taken human form, as a mount—isn't this a divine opportunity delivered right to his doorstep?

I must seize this opportunity!

At this moment, Jiang Qingqing was like a drowning person grasping at a straw, desperately trying to climb ashore.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior! I have no way to repay you!"

"I wish to become your disciple and serve you for life, like a beast of burden."

"I beg you, senior, to grant my request!"

Gu Xuan looked at Jiang Qingqing kneeling in front of him and sighed inwardly.

She's just a six-year-old girl.

If this were on Earth in the previous life, she would be at the age where she would be nestled in her parents' arms, being pampered.

But Jiang Qingqing possesses a maturity and sophistication beyond her years.

If he didn't know her specific situation, he would have thought Jiang Qingqing was an old monster who had reversed her aging process.

Such a situation could occur.

There is only one explanation: Jiang Qingqing's experiences over the years have forced her to mature and become more sophisticated.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive.

What hardships did they endure and what did they experience during that time?

Gu Xuan didn't even dare to think about it.

The key point is that Jiang Qingqing is only six years old and still an ordinary person with no cultivation.

It's so heartbreaking!

He helped Jiang Qingqing, who was kneeling in front of him, to her feet, and gave her a heartwarming smile.

"Alright, from today onwards, you, Jiang Qingqing, are my second disciple, Gu Xuan."

"If your senior brother bullies you, I will restrict his cultivation and make him clean up the entire Medicine King Valley in his mortal body!"

Speaking of which...

Gu Xuan glanced at Fang Li beside him.

Upon hearing this...

Fang Li's heart skipped a beat. "Holy crap, Master, are you serious?"

Don't you know how big Medicine King Valley is?

It was larger than a single province of their Great Gan Dynasty, and it could clean up the entire Medicine King Valley, all while still being a mortal.

Even if he doesn't die, he'll be useless!

It seems that from now on, Junior Sister's status among all the disciples will be one that cannot be offended.

They must be cherished and pampered to death!

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple greets you!"

Jiang Qingqing's expression brightened, and she performed the three kneelings and nine kowtows ceremony before Gu Xuan.

But Gu Xuan stopped her from doing it.
