Luo Shuyun shuddered, slipped, and almost fell, instinctively grabbing Song Qi tightly.
The two moved even closer, and Song Qi, feeling a little uncomfortable, shifted slightly.
Luo Shuyun's face flushed crimson, her voice trembling slightly: "How could you..."
"What's wrong with me?" Song Qi leaned against Luo Shuyun, her voice calm.
If Luo Shuyun were to lower her head at this moment, she would notice that Song Qi's ear tips were also slightly red.
"Nothing much." Luo Shuyun kept her eyes straight ahead, but the speed of her flying sword increased instantly.
Songxing River is located behind the main peak of the Green Mountain Sect. It is a very beautiful river, and Song Qi could see the spiritual energy flowing along the river from afar.
"At night, the river is dotted with lights, looking just like stars in the sky," Luo Shuyun explained, adding in her mind, "It's a great place for a date."
"Mm." Song Qi nodded.
Luo Shuyun led Song Qi directly to the riverbank, finding a secluded spot where they wouldn't be easily noticed.
Song Qi found a rock by the river and sat down.
"I'll go find the book for you." Luo Shuyun's eyes darted around. "I'll be back in a bit."
"Okay." Song Qi nodded, pretending not to see Luo Shuyun's flushed face.
Luo Shuyun turned and ran away; she felt she needed to calm down.
Song Qi stared at Song Xinghe in front of him, took a deep breath, his mind was a little chaotic, and he closed his eyes after ten minutes to begin absorbing spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy here is much denser than that of the outer sect.
If someone were present, they would have noticed that a small vortex of spiritual energy had formed around Song Qi.
Previously, when she was in the outer sect where spiritual energy was scarce, Song Qi did not realize the benefits of having a powerful divine sense, but now she truly felt it.
Lu Yuhuai, sitting in the pavilion, put down his cup and looked in a certain direction, lost in thought.
"Sect Leader?" The child looked at Lu Yuhuai.
"You stay here." After Lu Yuhuai finished speaking, he was no longer in the pavilion.
Seeing the person walking towards him from not far away, Song Qi pretended to be calm and closed his eyes again.
What is the male lead's identity?
"The leader of the Green Mountain Sect."
"Wouldn't that make you very old?"
System NZ: Why are you focusing on this?
Should I get to know him?
“He doesn’t usually appear in public, so it’s fine for you to pretend you don’t know him,” System NZ said.
Lu Yuhuai looked Song Qi up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "Why is an outer sect disciple here?"
"Why can't we do this?" Song Qi decided it was better to pretend she didn't know him.
Although Lu Yuhuai is not young, judging from his appearance alone, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he is only seventeen or eighteen years old.
"With the five spiritual roots, it is indeed better to be here."
Song Qi thought this person would kick him out, but he didn't expect to hear this.
Although they hadn't exchanged many words, Song Qi still sensed that this sect leader might not be a respectable person.
Judging from the romantic storyline, he certainly doesn't seem like a respectable person, and according to seniority, he's far above the female lead.
"Second level of Qi Refining?"
"Mm," Song Qi responded.
Lu Yuhuai frowned again: "Aren't you afraid of exploding and dying from absorbing so much spiritual energy at once?"
“My spiritual sense is quite strong,” Song Qi said casually.
Lu Yuhuai narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The divine sense of the second level of Qi Refining?"
"System, what is Lu Yuhuai's current skill level?"
"The Great Perfection of the Mahayana stage, currently the person with the highest cultivation level in the Green Mountain Sect."
"OK."
Song Qi opened her eyes and looked at Lu Yuhuai again: "Do you want to have a competition with me?"
System NZ: ? ? ?
System NZ: "Why did you start a fight the first time we met?"
Song Qi ignored it.
Lu Yuhuai laughed: "Little girl, do you know what you're saying?"
"Let's fight with our divine senses. If we fight to a draw, and I win in the arena a year from now, how about you take me as your disciple?" Song Qi said.
"Do you know who I am?" Lu Yuhuai raised an eyebrow.
"I don't know, but judging from your tone and appearance, you must be very capable." Song Qi decided to use the absurd logic of an eleven-year-old to persuade him.
“If it’s all a draw, why would you want to become my disciple?” Lu Yuhuai found it somewhat amusing.
"Because my cultivation is only at the second level of Qi Refining, and besides, I really don't know anything." Song Qi looked at Lu Yuhuai expressionlessly, his eyes clearly saying: Are you stupid?
"Okay." Lu Yuhuai casually found a place to sit down. "Do you know how to fight using divine sense?"
"have no idea."
Lu Yuhuai smiled, and his gaze toward Song Qi became even more amiable, mirroring Song Qi's expression just now.
For the next half incense stick's time, Lu Yuhuai told Song Qi about the matter of divine consciousness.
He originally just thought it would be fun, and he thought he would just do it casually so as not to scare the little girl. However, as it turned out, he was the one who was frightened by Song Qi.
"The divine consciousness of the late Mahayana stage?" Lu Yuhuai was somewhat at a loss for words.
This was the first time he had ever seen anything like this.
“Hmm.” Song Qi nodded. “I haven’t learned any magic yet, I only know hand-to-hand combat, so…”
The next second, a fist came flying towards Lu Yuhuai's face with great force.
There is still a gap between the Great Perfection stage and the later stages, but Song Qi's practical experience has rapidly narrowed that gap.
She was very outgoing, while Lu Yuhuai, thinking he couldn't bully the young girl, felt a bit restrained. Only after realizing it was indeed a bit difficult did he finally get serious.
As expected, Song Qi lost.
Song Qi's back was soaked with sweat, and although Lu Yuhuai looked calm, his face was not looking good.
"So, can you take me as your apprentice?"
"I can take you in right now, instead of waiting a year later."
“No, it will be a year from now.” Song Qi looked at Lu Yuhuai.
"Why?"
"I was the first to pass all three levels, but nobody wanted me. A year later, I will defeat their chosen disciple, and then you will appear and take me in."
Lu Yuhuai was somewhat helpless, but he roughly understood Song Qi's thoughts: "Alright, this is Song Xinghe's pass token. Ordinary disciples are not allowed to enter or leave here. Bring the token next time you come."
"thank you."
"If I happen to meet you here in the future, I will also guide you in your future endeavors."
"Thank you, Master."
Lu Yuhuai's lips twitched.
"Master, only three people know about my spiritual consciousness. I hope you won't tell anyone else."
"Don't worry." Lu Yuhuai waved his hand and disappeared.
He didn't understand why he was playing such a pointless game with a young girl.
It's probably because I'm so bored.
After Lu Yuhuai left, Song Qi's charming smile vanished instantly, replaced by a wistful expression: "Is the sect leader of the same generation as those elders?"
"Um."
Song Qi sighed again: "That's such a pity."
System NZ was somewhat speechless: "Seriously, why did you have to go through all this trouble, waiting a year later?"
"It's so boring. It's so uncomfortable to keep feeling so stifled. If we're going to slap someone in the face, we should do it in a way that will cause a sensation throughout the entire Green Mountain Sect, and preferably the entire cultivation world."
"Heh, you just want to stir up trouble."
Just then, Luo Shuyun returned with the book, and Song Qi simply ignored the broken system.
Luo Shuyun brought seven or eight books: "I think these are all good, you can take a look at them."
"Thank you." Song Qi put the book away. She glanced at Luo Shuyun twice, but ultimately decided not to tell her about her encounter with the sect leader.
After all, Luo Shuyun had always hoped that she could go to her master's place, but judging from Elder He's attitude, he didn't really want her. Moreover, Song Qi's own divine sense had already reached the Great Ascension stage, while Elder He was only at the early stage of the Integration stage. He couldn't even beat her in a battle of divine sense, so there was no need for her to go.
Seeing that Song Qi needed to cultivate, Luo Shuyun casually found a place to sit down next to her: "If you want to come in the future, you can send me a message using the jade slip, and I will bring you over."
“Okay.” Song Qi nodded. Although she could come over herself now, it was troublesome to go from the outer gate to the inner gate, and it was even more troublesome to go from the inner gate to here. With Luo Shuyun, all the troubles were not a problem.
For the next ten days or so, Song Qi cultivated in Songxinghe, and his cultivation speed increased significantly.
Song Qi, who was already out of touch with his roommates and outer disciples, became even more isolated now.
It wasn't until Luo Shuyun had something to do that Song Qi stayed at his original place of cultivation.
"Fang Yaoyao, where have you been lately? I can't find you anywhere." Fang Yuelai had looked for Song Qi several times, and this time he ran over as soon as he saw her.
"Are you cultivating with Senior Sister Luo? Is there something you need?"
Fang Yue sat down opposite Song Qi: "I've been wanting to ask you what happened that day?"
"We're lucky. Didn't the jade slip already say that?"
Fang Yue narrowed his eyes: "I'm not stupid."
Song Qi opened her eyes, glanced at Fang Yue, and smiled slightly: "Really?"
"Did your uncle give you some kind of magic weapon?"
Who is your uncle?
Just as Fang Yue was about to explain, he saw Song Qi's face, which was clearly full of sarcasm.
He immediately swallowed back what he was about to say: "So, how exactly did you do that?"
"I'm not telling you." Song Qi closed her eyes again. "You'd better stay away from me. You like coming to me so much, how come Fang Hui kicked you out of the group?"
Fang Yue's face stiffened, and he said curtly, "No."
"Really?" Song Qi lifted his eyelids and glanced at Fang Yue. "Then why do you look so pale?"
"It was just a few words exchanged," Fang Yue said, raising his chin slightly. "None of your business."
"Oh." Song Qi shut her mouth, since she wasn't planning to interfere any further.
Fang Yue stared at Song Qi for a while: "You used to cry when you were bullied, why don't you react now?"
"Instead of crying, you should focus on your training and wait for the day you can get your revenge."
"Yes, that makes sense." Fang Yue nodded, then got up and left.
Song Qi glanced at him, feeling that something was off: "System, what's wrong with this kid?"
“He seems to be injured,” System NZ said. “Wait a moment, let me check what happened.”
A minute later, System NZ sighed.
"Fang Yue was beaten by Fang Hui."
"What happened? Isn't Fang Hui his own brother?" Song Qi's face was somewhat gloomy.
"So what? It makes no difference to Fang Hui. Fang Yue has no one else to talk to. After you leave, he'll basically be at the bottom of the food chain," System NZ said. "Then, this time they called you useless again, and then Fang Hui and a few others made some disgusting jokes about you. Fang Yue snapped, and then he got beaten up."
Song Qi frowned.
"Host, are you going to do something about this?" System NZ asked.
