Fang Hui stared at the message on the jade slip, his face turning ashen. He gripped the jade slip tightly and took a deep breath.
"That piece of trash was actually chosen by the Azure Abyss Sword."
"Why? They're clearly trash with five spiritual roots!" Fang Ya's face was extremely ugly. Didn't this mean that trash was more powerful than them?
She couldn't accept it.
Regardless of whether Song Qi ultimately becomes number one, her entry into the inner sect is an indisputable fact, after all, she is the only person in 30,000 years to be recognized by the Azure Abyss Sword.
"What do we do now? If only Feng Tuo had killed her back then," Fang Yi said, then paused for a moment, looking at Fang Hui. "What grudge does Feng Tuo have against that bitch? Should we... try to find out, and if possible, have him kill Fang Yaoyao on the final stage?"
“We can’t kill her. Fang Yaoyao is already at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and she also has the help of the divine sword.” Fang Hui clenched his fist. “The most important thing now is what attitude our family has.”
After Song Qi took the Qingyuan Sword, Fang Liao was in a daze.
He knew that the other family heads were laughing at him, because it was their Fang family that had pushed Song Qi out.
But who would have thought that someone with five spiritual roots would make a pact with the divine sword and have such an opportunity?
“Patriarch Fang, what you did was really unfair. He's just a child, he can't eat much. You should have raised him as a member of a collateral branch, there's no need to go to such lengths.”
"Is the Fang family so poor that they can't even afford to raise one child? Judging from that little girl's condition, she's obviously been bullied quite a bit."
...
Fang Liao didn't know how to refute it.
The news that the divine sword had chosen its own master had already spread, and the elders of the Fang family sent a message instructing Fang Liao to treat Song Qi well.
The person in Fang Liao's water mirror sighed: "Things are not easy to handle. Yao Yao has been bullied by Hui'er and the others since she was a child, and I... have never done anything about it. The last time we met, we even argued, and she said she wanted to sever ties with the Fang family."
"She's just a twelve-year-old girl. We can fool her and give her some benefits."
“She…” Fang Liao thought of Song Qi’s eyes; she didn’t look like a twelve-year-old girl at all.
Which young girl wouldn't utter a sound after being stabbed?
Which young girl could remain calm in the face of a divine sword?
“She doesn’t have a family tree.” Fang Liao clenched his fist.
"Then tell her to add her to the family genealogy when she comes back."
"She won't agree." Fang Liao had a headache.
"Didn't I tell you to talk to her properly? Even if she has a divine sword, she's still just a person. If you can communicate with her, have Elder Fang Yi of the Green Mountain Sect take her as a disciple."
Fang Liao frowned.
“She hasn’t entered the inner sect yet. Tell him you can help her enter the inner sect. It’s a lie anyway, and children are easy to fool.”
Fang Liao smiled wryly, wanting to say something more, but the image in the water mirror had already disappeared.
Song Qi was not surprised when he saw Fang Liao. Luo Shuyun, who was sitting opposite Song Qi, did not get up or leave when she saw Fang Liao.
"Young friend Luo."
Luo Shuyun looked at him coldly: "Patriarch Fang, is there something you need?"
"I'd like to have a talk with Yaoyao."
"I don't think we have anything to talk about." Song Qi sipped Luo Shuyun's porridge. Although there wasn't much in it, it tasted very good.
"We are family after all."
"No." Song Qi put down his spoon and tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Don't try to pressure me with talk of gratitude for my life. I won't fall for that."
"Yaoyao!" Fang Liao frowned, still angry at her appearance. "It was my fault before. When I have time, I will take you back to be registered in the family genealogy. You are now recognized as a young lady of the Fang family."
"Sorry, I don't care. The identity of the Sword Master of Qingyuan Sword is much more prestigious than the title of Miss Fang."
"In this world, you need companions, and your family is your best support."
“I am her companion, and many of her fellow disciples from the Green Mountain Sect are also her partners. The Green Mountain Sect is her backer,” Luo Shuyun said, looking coldly at Fang Liao.
"You want her to have no family?" Fang Liao looked at Luo Shuyun. "Besides, this is our family matter, and we hope Miss Luo will not interfere."
"I don't need family. Family members like yours are of no help to me; they'll only hold me back." Song Qi looked at Luo Shuyun. "Would your father be willing to take me in as his goddaughter?"
Luo Shuyun paused for a moment, then smiled: "I'll ask my dad later!"
"Fang Yaoyao!"
"Fang Liao." Song Qi's divine sense pressed down, gripping his divine sense by the neck. "If you don't understand when I try to tell you to stop bothering me properly, then I'll tell you this way."
Fang Liao stared at Song Qi with wide eyes. He couldn't tell what level of cultivation Song Qi's spiritual sense had, but he knew in his heart that it was a realm he couldn't reach.
He has been stuck at the Nascent Soul stage for a long time.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Song Qi's consciousness loosened.
"You are not Yaoyao."
"Accept it, I am Fang Yaoyao." Song Qi rested her chin on her hand. "Are you happy that you've forced me into this situation? What, just because I didn't want to go back to the Fang family with you, you're going to start spreading rumors? Do you need me to make up a story for you? Fang Yaoyao has been possessed by an old monster?"
"Do you think anyone will believe this? Even the head of the Green Mountain Sect didn't recognize me. You're just a Nascent Soul cultivator." Song Qi looked at Fang Liao with a smile. "You'd better not do anything. Of course, if you're sure you can kill me right now, then go ahead. If not, if you touch me, I'll kill a hundred members of your Fang family."
Song Qi lowered his voice: "You have to believe me, if I can do it, I can do it too. Or you can try having your elders mark all the children, but I heard there seems to be a limit to the number one child can have?"
Fang Liao stared at Song Qi with wide eyes.
System NZ: "You know what? You're the one who's really like the biggest villain in the whole book now."
"It was just to scare him, but look at him, he seems to have actually believed it."
System NZ: "You should look in the mirror and see how terrible your expression is right now."
“Jiang… Fang Yaoyao.” Feng Tuo dragged three people in. Looking at Song Qi’s twelve-year-old face and calling his name, he felt uncomfortable all over.
He threw Fang Hui and the others directly to the ground.
"Hui'er!" Fang Liao was stunned for a moment.
The three men were bruised and swollen, making it impossible to recognize what they originally looked like. Fang Hui already had wounds on his face, and now his injuries were compounded, making him look extremely terrifying.
"What happened?"
“Those three came and egged me on to kill you in the ring,” Feng Tuo said.
Fang Liao had originally intended to question Feng Tuo, but now he felt his face burning with embarrassment.
"Patriarch Fang, now you see? I dare not return to your Fang family, who knows when I might lose my life."
Fang Liao looked at the three people on the ground, took a deep breath, and although he was angry, he had found a reason to explain himself.
"Alright, I know you're angry right now. I'll leave first, but remember, if you need help, you can always go to the Fang family." Fang Liao took a jade pendant from his storage bag and handed it to Song Qi.
Song Qi did not answer.
"Feng Tuo, see the guest out." Song Qi tapped the table.
Feng Tuo nodded, then dragged the three people out, this time also pushing Fang Liao.
He originally planned to turn the three people into idiots, but now the only person who had a grudge against them was Song Qi, and Song Qi's strong spiritual sense had just been discovered, so it would be easy for people to suspect her.
Feng Tuo glanced at the three people, thinking it best to kill them when the opportunity arose.
Although Fang Hui had difficulty moving, he did not faint. Noticing Feng Tuo's gaze, he trembled.
He really didn't understand what the relationship was between Feng Tuo and Fang Yaoyao.
After they arrived and exchanged three sentences, the other party immediately attacked, delivering brutal blows.
All three were still at the Qi cultivation level and were beaten without any chance to fight back. Moreover, this person had no intention of "not hitting girls" at all, and Fang Ya and Fang Yi fainted on the spot.
As Fang Liao led the three people away, he noticed that there were still people watching nearby, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
They've completely lost face.
Feng Tuo walked in again, looking at Luo Shuyun with some curiosity.
"Junior Brother Feng."
"Senior sister." Feng Tuo bowed obediently.
Then they fell silent.
Luo Shuyun coughed twice: "I'll go ask my father what he thinks. He should agree. He's always disliked Fang Liao. He shouldn't miss any chance to anger him."
"Okay, thank you."
"It's alright." Luo Shuyun put away Song Qi's bowl and chopsticks. "I'll come find you tomorrow morning to go to the arena together."
"Okay." Song Qi nodded and watched Luo Shuyun leave.
She feels she's become increasingly lazy in her daily life lately.
Feng Tuo kept a close eye on Song Qi's expression: "The general likes her very much."
Song Qi paused, "Really? You can tell whether someone likes you or not?"
“It’s a feeling.” Feng Tuo swirled his glass. “It’s not easy for a general to get people close to him, although I don’t know exactly what it means to like someone.”
"I don't know either." Song Qi rubbed his temples. "Let's not talk about that. How are those three people doing?"
“Flesh wounds, General, should I find an opportunity to help you kill them?” Feng Tuo asked.
“Now is not the time.” Song Qi tapped the table. “The Qingshan Sect’s water mirror can see past lives. The three members of the Fang family died here, so they will definitely use that water mirror. You will be discovered. If you are going to make a move, you should find a place where the water mirror cannot detect you.”
"Okay, I'll go back and check." Feng Tuo sat for a while longer, then glanced at Song Qi. "She's human, isn't she?"
"yes."
"Oh, that's good." Feng Tuo nodded.
