After Feng Tuo left.
Song Qi took out the Qingyuan Sword and examined it closely. Sure enough, the sword was ugly no matter how you looked at it: "You can understand what I'm saying, but can you speak yourself? You should have developed a sword spirit by now."
The Azure Abyss Sword did not move.
"I'm giving you two choices now. If you can speak now, then don't speak at all." Song Qi said expressionlessly.
"How can you be so annoying?" Qingyuan Sword began to speak.
Qingyuan Sword's voice was very childish, sounding like that of a young child.
"Still has this voice even at thirty thousand years old?" Song Qi was somewhat surprised.
"What do you mean 30,000 years old? I'm only ten. Thank you," Qingyuan Sword said unhappily.
Song Qi tapped the table, surprised to find that the artifact spirit had only just been born.
"Host, why are you bullying the child again?" System NZ sighed.
"Who bullied him?"
Seeing that Song Qi was ignoring him again, Qingyuan Sword extended a hand from the sword, slapped Song Qi's hand hard, and then quickly withdrew its hand.
However, Song Qi still managed to grab his wrist and drag him out of the sword alive.
When he was pulled out, Qingyuan looked utterly dejected.
The spirit of the Azure Abyss Sword was a ten-year-old boy. He was dressed in the red robes of an inner disciple of the Green Mountain Sect, his hair was casually tied up, and he looked at Song Qi with fear in his eyes.
“You…” Qingyuan looked at Song Qi.
Song Qi let go of her hand, and Qingyuan lost her balance and fell to the ground. She tried to make her eyes look kinder: "I'm not going to hit you, I just want to talk to you."
Qingyuan looked at Song Qi with a look full of doubt in his eyes.
Song Qi pointed to the chair next to him: "I only have two requests for you."
"You say it." Qingyuan got up and sat up straight at the table, clearly less arrogant than before.
"First, don't cause me any trouble. If you do, I will terminate the contract immediately. Second, when I'm fighting with someone, do your best to help me. Don't try anything funny to get revenge on me." Song Qi stared into Qing Yuan's eyes.
Qingyuan nodded, feeling a chill on the back of his neck. He had originally planned to do something, but now he thought better of it; this woman looked too scary.
Are all twelve-year-old girls outside like this nowadays?
He swallowed hard.
Before, when someone next to him kept saying that women are like tigers, he didn't believe it, but now he does.
"Alright, you can go back now." Song Qi pointed to the Qingyuan Sword.
“I also have requirements.” Qingyuan took a deep breath.
"you say."
"When you see other swords, you can't break the contract with me unless I've done something wrong." Qingyuan raised his chin slightly. "You're not allowed to speak ill of me outside. And lastly, you have to prepare some good food for me too."
"good."
Qingyuan glanced at the pastries Song Qi hadn't finished on the table and gave a frantic hint.
“This won’t do.” Song Qi dragged the plate over. “I won’t share the things Luo Shuyun made with you, but the others are fine.”
"Wow! Apart from that Senior Sister Luo, no one has brought you any food! How could you say that? A woman's mouth is a liar's mouth." Qingyuan made a face at Song Qi, and this time Song Qi didn't catch him again, and he successfully returned to the sword.
Song Qi twitched the corners of his mouth and finished eating the pastries one by one.
Luo Shuyun only sends a small amount of pastries each time, which isn't enough for her, yet someone still wants to share.
When Luo Shuyun returned, she brought her father with her.
Her father was Luo Shouxin, the third elder of the Luo family, a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator at the Great Perfection level. He didn't look very old; at least, he looked much younger than Fang Liao.
"Young friend Fang," Luo Shouxin said with a smile to Song Qi, "Yunyun has already told me about your situation. I am very happy to take you in as my goddaughter and to be your support. I will treat you like my own daughter."
"Thank you, Elder Luo." Song Qi stood up and bowed.
"Let me go back and make some arrangements and prepare everything. Then Yunyun will take you to the Luo family. I will invite the Fang family to attend the ceremony afterward."
Song Qi looked up at Luo Shouxin and smiled, "Thank you, Elder Luo."
The two reached an agreement instantly.
What's with all this talk about goddaughters? They just want to kick the Fang family while they're down.
After the agreement was reached, everything fell into place. As soon as Luo Shouxin left Song Qi's courtyard, he secretly spread the word that he wanted to adopt Song Qi as his goddaughter.
Fang Liao nearly vomited blood upon hearing the news.
One dared to admit it, and the other dared to accept it.
The Luo family all agreed with Luo Shouxin's decision, and in order to take Song Qi as their goddaughter as soon as possible, the main family has begun to make preparations.
The subsequent matches in the ring weren't particularly exciting.
Since Song Qi entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he has become an overwhelming force on the arena, wielding a divine sword.
They successfully won first place.
Fengtuo is second.
The happiest people about this result, besides Song Qi, were the outer disciples.
In the future, if someone says that their outer disciples are trash, they will have a very good reason to refute it.
The prize for first place in the arena is three bottles of Grade 5 Rejuvenation Pills, which are priceless.
Fang Liao really didn't want to attend this unfortunate "awards ceremony," but he had no choice but to come. The Fang family was already a laughing stock; not coming would only make them more of a laughing stock.
If things are already like this at the Green Mountain Sect, he'll face no less ridicule outside of it.
He looked at Song Qi.
"Since you're going to enter the inner sect, why don't you become my disciple?" Elder Fang Yi, who had been arranged by the Fang family, said to Song Qi. "He's also a member of my Fang family."
Song Qi shook his head: "You can't teach me."
Elder Fang Yi's face stiffened: "You!"
“My spiritual sense is stronger than yours. If you can’t even beat me, how can you teach me?” Song Qi looked at Elder Fang Yi with an innocent expression, seemingly without any other intention.
"Besides, I am not a member of the Fang family. If you insist on dwelling on my surname, I don't mind changing it to Luo."
Luo Shouxin smiled at Fang Yi, revealing eight snow-white teeth.
Upon hearing Song Qi's words, Luo Shuyun realized something. Although she knew that Song Qi might not have meant it that way, she still blushed.
"You can become my apprentice then." Lu Yuhuai glanced at Song Qi, guessing that she had said enough, tossed a plaque to Song Qi, and looked at the others, "The apprenticeship ceremony is in three days. You all get ready."
Once Lu Yuhuai spoke, no one else could say anything.
Elder He sighed with relief, thankful he hadn't spoken. He glanced at Fang Yi; he was utterly humiliated.
Although he knew that Song Qi probably wouldn't have spoken like that if he were the one to say it.
"This token allows you free access to the main peak; we'll talk about the rest later," Lu Yuhuai said before leaving.
Song Qi looked at the sign in his hand, hung it on his waist, greeted the others, and then got up and left.
She didn't even glance at Fang Liao. At this moment, she shouldn't pay him too much attention; ignoring him would only make him more uncomfortable.
After packing his meager belongings, Song Qi felt a pang of emotion. He said goodbye to his roommates and then entered the inner gate with Luo Shuyun.
"Aren't you coming in with me?" At the entrance of the main peak, Song Qi looked at Luo Shuyun, who had stopped.
Luo Shuyun pursed her lips: "The sect leader doesn't like outsiders entering the main peak at will, so he set up a barrier outside."
“You’re not an outsider.” Song Qi pulled Luo Shuyun’s hand and dragged her inside. “If he insults you, let me take the blame. Nothing will happen.”
Lu Yuhuai was nowhere to be seen when his voice suddenly rang out around him.
"Choose any courtyard on the main peak, and tidy it up yourself. Here's a map; the circled areas are where I'll be staying. You can't just enter my place; you can do whatever you want with the rest," Lu Yuhuai said.
"Oh." Song Qi looked at the papers that had popped up on the ground and huddled together with Luo Shuyun. "Which side do you think is better?"
"This way? It's closer to the sect leader, so it'll be more convenient if you want to ask anything." Luo Shuyun pointed to a spot. "Besides, this place is nestled against the mountains and beside the water."
"Are there more mosquitoes in the summer?"
"Just stick on a mosquito repellent talisman in the summer," Luo Shuyun said.
Song Qi glanced at Luo Shuyun's profile; there was a strange feeling about walking around the courtyard together like this.
The phrase "old married couple" suddenly popped into my head.
It was very quiet around them, and Song Qi could hear Luo Shuyun's breathing.
She looked at Luo Shuyun's profile, moved closer, and touched the tip of her ear.
"What's wrong?" Luo Shuyun looked up at Song Qi.
"It's nothing, let's go." Song Qi pulled Luo Shuyun to her courtyard.
The yard looks like it hasn't been cleaned in a long time; it's very dirty.
Song Qi wanted to take a deep breath to calm himself down, but he was afraid of inhaling a mouthful of dust.
Luo Shuyun raised her hand and began to use magic to clean up the dust. The speed was very fast; almost instantly, all the dust disappeared.
"A lot of the furniture here looks a bit worn out. You can go to the logistics department and ask them to fix it for you." Luo Shuyun looked at the overgrown flowerbed. "I'll bring you some flower seeds when I come this afternoon. What color flowers do you like?"
"Either is fine." Song Qi walked beside Luo Shuyun.
"How about using this room as a study?" Luo Shuyun opened a door.
"good."
Luo Shuyun glanced at it and said, "Let's find some books together and put them here when we have time."
"Okay." Song Qi watched Luo Shuyun's figure.
"Your yard is really big, and you have so many rooms." Luo Shuyun said with some admiration as she helped Song Qi plan the layout.
"Hmm." Song Qi pursed her lips. "You can come and stay with me anytime. This room is for you, what do you think?"
"Okay." Luo Shuyun looked at the room, her eyes lighting up. Although they couldn't live together, living in the same courtyard was not bad. "What if the sect leader blames us?"
Song Qi thought for a few seconds: "He probably won't hold a grudge against a twelve-year-old like me. I'm this age, which is exactly the age where I like to be around people. Isn't it normal for me to hang out with my girlfriends?"
Luo Shuyun looked at Song Qi, who said without changing her expression that she was only twelve years old.
System NZ: Ugh.
Song Qi put his things away and went to collect his inner disciple's robes. Presumably because he was the sect leader's disciple, his clothing was somewhat different from the others.
"Welcome, junior sister." Song Qi and Luo Shuyun heard enthusiastic applause when they went to the cafeteria for lunch.
She noticed the smiling eyes of those around her and returned a friendly smile: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We're all family now. Junior sister, let me tell you, the best place in our inner sect is the cafeteria." A senior brother came over.
