Early in the morning, Shen Qingyi packed up everything and rushed to the academy.
When Shen Qing arrived, the gate of the academy had not yet been opened.
Shen Qingyi stood beside the tall gate of the academy.
At the moment the sun rises, a ray of sunlight passes through everything and shines above the plaque at the entrance of the academy.
The four big characters "Qingzhi Academy" shine brightly under the morning sun.
Shen Qingyi's eyes gradually brightened.
This is her first step into this world!
“Tap, tap, tap!”
The servant boy looked at the person standing at the gate of the academy with some confusion.
"Sir, I don't remember there ever being such a child in the academy?"
Could it be someone from the inner courtyard?
But don’t the warriors in the inner courtyard enter through the east gate?
The old man looked at the little child under the high wall and flicked his robe.
"It didn't exist before, but it exists from today."
The servant boy seemed to understand and followed the old man.
Hearing footsteps, Shen Qing looked up.
"Now that you're here, go in."
Shen Qingyi hurriedly caught up with the old man.
"From today on, you will be my cleaning boy. You can call me Old Qi. You must clean the academy twice a day. If there is any other work you need me to do, I will tell you."
"Got it?"
Shen Qingyi nodded quickly.
Seeing her like this, the old man lowered his eyes slightly.
He didn't know why he took in this little girl.
It was obvious that she had no cultivation, no spiritual energy fluctuations on her body, and judging from her appearance and clothes, she didn't look like someone with a good background.
Is it pitiful?
But there are so many pitiful mortals and cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are many who are even more miserable than her.
Old Qi curled his lips.
The biggest thing is that he saw something from her...
Shen Qingyi stayed behind the old gentleman, listening to the sound of reading in the academy, and felt peaceful in his heart.
I also help the servant pack up some things.
The servant's name is Zhao Ji. He is Mr. Qi's only servant. He usually helps teach these children and handle some personal affairs.
Zhao Ji guessed that Shen Qingyi's condition was probably not that bad, so he would take care of her on weekdays.
Shen Qingyi cherished this hard-earned opportunity. While helping, he also learned knowledge.
I have to say that following Mr. Qi as a sweeping boy is much more useful and faster than hiding in a corner or eavesdropping outside the wall to learn.
The days passed quietly in peace and fulfillment.
In the blink of an eye, it went from the hot summer to the cold winter.
There are still many mortals and small mortal towns in Kunbei Territory. Because the two sides are connected, many cultivators will follow some worldly customs, so when the New Year comes, they will still prepare for the New Year.
The academy would also be closed during the Chinese New Year. Mr. Qi had descendants in the secular world, and they left the academy at the end of the year.
Zhao Ji’s relatives are cultivators, but there are also mortals in the family who will go home for the New Year.
Shen Qingyi stood in the corridor of the academy, put his hands together, exhaled, and rubbed them vigorously.
The heavy snow outside Lang was drifting, and the world seemed to be shrouded in white gauze.
Zhao Ji packed up his things and looked at Shen Qingyi standing at the corridor, and couldn't help but go forward to talk to him.
"Xiao Qingyi, are you going home for the New Year?"
Shen Qing turned around.
"No."
Her home is not here.
Zhao Ji scratched his head, didn't ask anything, took out a token from his arms and handed it to Shen Qingyi.
"Brother Zhao?"
"This brocade pouch contains the entrance and exit token for the outer courtyard of the academy. The master gave it to me before he left, saying that if you don't go home during the New Year, he will give it to you."
The brocade bag lay in Zhao Ji's palm, shining.
"Here, sir... The sir also said that if you stay in the academy, the cleanliness of the academy must not be neglected. If... if he sees anything he is not satisfied with when he comes back... you will be punished..."
Zhao Ji felt a little embarrassed.
He felt that the little girl in front of him was already pitiful enough. He had seen her for such a long time, but had never heard her mention her relatives. He was afraid that her situation was not very good.
Moreover, the nine-year-old baby looked like a five or six-year-old baby due to malnutrition.
Staying alone in a cold and cold school, cleaning on New Year's Eve...
Seeing what Zhao Ji was thinking, Shen Qing smiled.
Take the treasure bag from his hand.
"Brother Zhao, thank you."
Thank you, sir.
"Hahaha! You're welcome!"
Zhao Ji turned around and ran out, not forgetting to wave to Shen Qing.
"Xiao Qingyi, wait for me at the academy! Brother Zhao will be back after the New Year! Then I'll bring you some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes made by my mother!"
