Shen Qingmang froze in place, cold sweat gradually covering her back. The head of the sect thought she wanted to stay and watch the ceremony, so he invited her to sit back in her original seat.
"Thank you, Master, but I'd better go back first." She led her three disciples out of the apprenticeship platform and slowed down her pace, wanting Si Rong, who was familiar with the terrain, to lead the way. However, the little girl was very polite and kept walking behind her master.
She had no choice but to turn around and stop. "Arong, where's your crane?"
She remembered that the heroine had a white crane mount, and the first interaction between the hero and heroine was that Si Rong invited Hao Xin to ride the crane to Wuya Peak together.
Si Rong waved her sleeves, and a white crane immediately emerged. She stroked the crane's head and said, "Master, do you mean I can ride it over there? Then I'll go first! Niannian flies a little slowly."
"Hey wait, how many people can this crane core carry?"
"What do you mean by 'core capacity'... Master, do you mean how many people it can carry? Niannian is still young, so at most it can seat two people. Hey, little junior brother, do you want to come with me?"
"Who is your junior brother? I am your senior brother." Hao Xin said dissatisfiedly.
"I was born on the first day of the first lunar month. Even if you and I are the same age, you can still be older than me?" Si Rong raised his eyebrows proudly. Hao Xin snorted and did not refute.
"Then you and Hao Xin go first." Shen Qingmang said.
"Okay, shall we go to Qiongzhi Palace or Linyuan Palace?"
"Qiongzhi Palace."
Qiongzhi Hall is Shen Qingmang's daily residence, and Linyuan Hall is the main hall of the peak master, built on a cliff. Shen Qingmang does not plan to move in.
Si Rong and Hao Xin left on a crane. After Shen Qingmang confirmed the direction of Wuya Peak, he looked at his eldest disciple and wondered how he could trick him away.
Or should I tell my eldest disciple, "To strengthen our relationship as master and disciple, I invite you to hike up the mountain together?" But by the time she reaches a peak several thousand meters high, a year will have passed, right?
"What is Master thinking about?" Gu Sui Han asked.
Shen Qingmang said seriously, "Master has encountered some problems in his cultivation recently, and it is not convenient for him to use his spiritual power..."
"In that case, I will take Master home." Gu Sui Han stretched out his hand.
Shen Qingmang was a little confused and gently held his hand. The next moment, a cloud of mist rose under their feet.
Step on the clouds!
She was a bit excited but also a bit confused. The Cloud Stepping Technique seemed to be a high-level technique. Gu Suihan was still in the Qi Refining Stage, so how could he already use it so freely? Could it be that she had misremembered the contents of the book?
Within a few breaths, the two arrived at Qiongzhi Hall, but Si Rong's crane was nowhere to be seen. Shen Qingmang stopped, released his eldest disciple's hand, and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell? Why don't you go to your residence and rest first?"
Holding his hand just now felt like holding a piece of ice, and his face seemed even paler now.
"It's okay." Gu Suihan shook his head and asked seriously, "How could there be any problems with Master's cultivation?"
Older children are really hard to fool... Shen Qingmang thought, but this did not stop her from continuing to make up stories.
"My thoughts have been a bit mixed lately, perhaps because of the matter of accepting a disciple. However, I will adjust quickly and will not delay your studies."
She could feel a light air flow in her body, but she didn't know how to use it. Reading a few books might solve the problem.
Gu Suihan locked eyes with her. Just as Shen Qingmang was getting nervous, wondering if he'd missed something, he curled his lips. "Master, if you have any questions about your cultivation, you can ask me. I may be a little less talented, but I can still do my best to help you."
Shen Qingmang looked at his eldest disciple suspiciously for a moment, then said, "I cannot easily use high-level spells for fear of damaging my foundation. I can reluctantly try the Cloud-Walking Technique you just used. Since you said you could answer my questions, I believe you can both use the spell and explain the principles behind it. Then let me test you: how do you use the Cloud-Walking Technique?"
"Beginners should close their eyes and feel the air flowing around them. Clouds are the energy of mountains and rivers, and clouds rise from the earth's energy..."
Shen Qingmang closed her eyes and relaxed her body as Gu Suihan spoke slowly. She felt as if she had caught the moisture around her, gathered it at her feet, and condensed it into a ball.
It seemed to be off the ground... Shen Qingmang opened his eyes and looked down, and was surprised to find that he had really succeeded in creating clouds. Although he could not rise directly into the sky like Gu Suihan, he also rose for a certain distance.
"I succeeded!" she beamed.
Gu Suihan looked up at her, his brows relaxed. "Master is very powerful."
"It's mainly because of your teaching... uh..." Shen Qingmang recovered from the excitement of using magic for the first time and suddenly realized how ridiculous the current situation was.
It's like she is about to teach high school students, and they don't know how to solve a linear equation. The students have no choice but to teach her step by step, and watch with indulgence as the teacher is overjoyed because she solved the equation.
As a teacher...has her authority been completely destroyed?
Shen Qingmang felt nervous, and the mist under her feet suddenly disappeared. Before she could react, she fell down and was surrounded by the fragrance of orchids.
It was Gu Sui Han who caught her.
"Master, we're here... Hey?" Si Rong jumped off the white crane and saw the eldest brother holding the master, and was very confused. "What are you doing?"
Shen Qingmang quickly patted Gu Suihan's shoulder, signaling him to put her down. After she regained her composure, she resumed her aloof and cool demeanor.
"I was just sparring with your senior brother," she explained briefly, quickly changing the subject. "Wuya Peak will be your home from now on. Everyone, get settled in today, rest up tomorrow, and we'll start teaching the day after tomorrow."
The three disciples nodded in agreement.
"Go to your new place. If you need anything, you can go down the mountain with me tomorrow to buy some."
