"The sect leader's disciples can eat as much as they want without paying," the senior brother continued, his eyes gentle.
Song Qi was somewhat surprised. Did the sect leader's disciple have such privileges?
She noticed the caring looks in other people's eyes and roughly understood what was going on.
They probably thought she had fallen out with her family and couldn't afford to eat.
"That's great." Song Qi smiled and accepted everyone's kindness, after all, she was indeed penniless.
"I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Liang Xu. You can call me Senior Brother Liang. If you have any questions about anything in the inner sect, feel free to ask me." Liang Xu said with a smile.
Luo Shuyun glanced at Liang Xu: "Aren't I here? I probably won't need you for the time being."
“Senior Sister Luo is usually so busy,” Liang Xu said. “We can take care of the new junior sister.”
"No need." Luo Shuyun glanced at Song Qi. "Weren't you hungry?"
Song Qi smiled at Liang Xu and followed Luo Shuyun away.
The canteen here is similar to modern ones; you choose your own food. Quite a few people from the Qingshan faction come to eat here.
Originally, once you reach a certain level of cultivation, you shouldn't need to eat anymore, but because the food here is quite good, people still come here often to eat a day and satisfy their appetites.
Song Qi glanced around. There were quite a few people looking at her, and most of them had kind eyes, except for a few.
Luo Shuyun noticed Song Qi's intention and lowered her voice: "Those people are all Elder Fang Yi's disciples. Be careful later, but don't be afraid."
"Oh." Song Qi understood and nodded. Even if she entered the inner sect, she probably wouldn't go out much, so running into her wouldn't be an easy thing.
Song Qi casually chose two dishes, and then he and Luo Shuyun found a quiet spot to sit down.
"Look at her, she's just clinging to Luo Shuyun. Ha, Luo Shuyun might work in the outer sect, but in the inner sect, she's no different." A girl looked at the two people sitting together not far away, and curled her lips into a slightly mocking expression.
"That's not how it works. The elders all really like Senior Sister Luo."
"So what? Given time, I will surpass her."
The others exchanged glances, somewhat helpless, and remained silent.
After finishing his meal, Song Qi went to the logistics department and picked up some furniture.
Afterwards, Luo Shuyun and I toured the main peak of the sect.
The spiritual energy on the main peak was abundant. She sensed it and felt that the concentration of spiritual energy was similar to that on Songxinghe. She could stay in her room to cultivate from now on.
That way, you won't run into other people.
Because Song Qi didn't go out, those who were planning to give her a hard time felt frustrated for several days.
Lu Yuhuai was a sect leader who rarely appeared, and as his disciple, Song Qi received all of her true teachings.
Because Song Qi was Lu Yuhuai's first disciple, the apprenticeship ceremony was held in a very grand manner.
However, Lu Yuhuai was a person who disliked trouble, and he managed to shorten the apprenticeship ceremony, which usually lasted more than two hours, to half an hour, making the elders who were preparing for the ceremony turn green with embarrassment.
"By the way, did you already know the sect leader?" After the apprenticeship ceremony ended, Luo Shuyun finally couldn't help but ask.
After all, Lu Yuhuai's special identity made her have to be concerned.
"Hmm." Song Qi nodded. "I learned how to control my divine sense from him before. What's wrong?"
"What do you think of him?" Luo Shuyun asked softly.
Song Qi paused for a moment, then roughly understood what Luo Shuyun meant: "A talkative old man, as he was before, is the same as the world."
"Hmm." Luo Shuyun followed behind Song Qi. "There's a practical activity next month, are you going to participate?"
"What kind of practical activities?"
"Participating in the Demon War." Luo Shuyun watched Song Qi's retreating figure. "I'll be staying there for a month, and there are some special missions."
"Do you think I should participate?" Song Qi guessed that Luo Shuyun had a script.
"I hope you don't go. I think you'll be in danger." Luo Shuyun frowned slightly.
Song Qi thought for a moment: "Are you going?"
“Go, this is an essential activity for me every year.”
“If you go and I don’t, we’ll be separated for a whole month.” Song Qi turned to look at Luo Shuyun. “That’s too long.”
Luo Shuyun pursed her lips: "Then go. When you come, come with us and never act alone."
A month is indeed too long. If you are careful, nothing should happen.
"Mm." Song Qi nodded.
“The demons’ consciousness is different from ours. If you rashly invade, you might get infected by demonic energy. In that case, it’s better if you stay in the logistics department.” Luo Shuyun saw Song Qi to the door.
"We'll see when the time comes."
"Okay." Luo Shuyun glanced at the courtyard. "Then I'm leaving."
"Okay, goodbye."
Luo Shuyun gave Song Qi a deep look, then turned and left. Song Qi stood at the door, watching her take a few steps and then turn back, raising his hand to wave.
Back in his room, Song Qi found a place to sit and begin cultivating.
A few minutes later, Lu Yuhuai's voice could be heard.
"Tomorrow morning at Chenshi (7-9 AM), wait for me at the Songxinghe Pavilion, bringing the Qingyuan Sword."
"Oh." Song Qi took out the jade slip, said something to Luo Shuyun, and continued cultivating.
Song Qi woke up early the next morning. She didn't quite understand why, given how big the main peak was, they had to go to Song Xinghe's place.
When they arrived at the pavilion, Lu Yuhuai was already there, drinking early in the morning. He glanced at Song Qi.
“You can learn the minor spells yourself from the book.” Lu Yuhuai pulled out three books and threw them on the table. “I’ll also teach you a sword technique, and then you can practice it on your own when you get back.”
"Oh." Song Qi remained expressionless. She wasn't surprised at all by his teaching method; it would be strange if this person could teach her patiently.
Lu Yuhuai picked up a twig from the ground and started twirling it.
Song Qi has a good memory; it seems no different from when she was learning to dance.
After Lu Yuhuai did it once, Song Qi took over, and he could basically remember the general movements.
"This is the accompanying book. Now that you've memorized the movements, you'll have to figure out the rest yourself. There's nothing else I can help you with." Lu Yuhuai said with some emotion. Luckily, Song Qi was smart. Otherwise, if he had to do it three or four times, he probably would have kicked this apprentice out the next day.
"Oh." Song Qi flipped through it; there was a lot of content inside.
Lu Yuhuai took a sip of wine and glanced at Song Qi: "If you are not satisfied with my teaching methods, you can go to the other elders."
"No need." Song Qi shook her head. Other masters who cared too much would not do her any good. She didn't like being controlled. "Next month, I want to go to the Demon Battlefield with Senior Sister Luo."
"Oh." Lu Yuhuai nodded, not surprised. "Be careful. Your spiritual sense is so powerful, I won't put any marks on you."
Song Qi rolled her eyes silently, clearly annoyed.
“I’ll find some good medicine for you then. Although I’m not keen on taking on disciples, I can’t just die like that. I still care about my reputation.” Lu Yuhuai tapped the table and took out a bracelet with many jade beads on it. “The demon war has been taking place near Yufeng City for some time now. Currently, it’s guarded by the Demon King. If you accidentally run into the Demon King, just crush one of the beads, and I’ll find a way to get there.”
"Okay." Song Qi took it, put it on his wrist, and looked at it. "How is the Demon King's cultivation level?"
“Same as me.” Lu Yuhuai gave Song Qi a look. “I quite like my current life. You’d better stay in the back and not cause me any trouble.”
"Oh." Song Qi's eyes were indifferent.
Lu Yuhuai waved his hand: "The matter is settled, you can leave now. I'll come find you again in ten days."
"Oh." Song Qi silently turned and left.
"Are you quite poor?" Lu Yuhuai asked, as if something had occurred to him.
"Yes." Song Qi nodded honestly.
Lu Yuhuai said thoughtfully, "Alright, you can go now."
Song Qi didn't understand what Lu Yuhuai was trying to do, and she wasn't interested. She had food and shelter, and there was nothing she needed to spend money on.
Upon returning to the main peak, Song Qi saw Luo Shuyun waiting at the barrier entrance. Her steps quickened instantly, and her voice carried a hint of excitement that she herself didn't realize: "When did you arrive? Didn't you say I might not be here this morning?"
“It’s just a possibility, not a certainty, and I guessed that, given the sect leader’s personality, he probably wouldn’t spend too much time talking to you.” Luo Shuyun followed behind Song Qi.
Song Qi said helplessly, "Didn't you say you were very busy?"
"When others give me instructions, I give instructions to others; there's nothing too busy."
"I'll ask my master when I have time, and find you a badge so you can come and go as you please."
"No, thank you." Luo Shuyun shook her head. "It's fine as it is now."
She didn't really want to have too much of a relationship with the male lead.
"What's that on your wrist?" Luo Shuyun glanced at Song Qi's wrist and noticed the extra bracelet.
“It’s a life-saving magic weapon given to me by my master, used to summon him, but he only accepts summons when he encounters the Demon Lord.” Song Qi rubbed his neck, sat down at the stone table, and watched Luo Shuyun take out pastries. “I feel that there is an 80% chance that I will encounter the Demon Lord, and a 90% chance that the summoning will fail.”
Luo Shuyun paused, then gave Song Qi a look: "Don't jinx it."
She was silent for a few more seconds, then her expression visibly turned sour: "Maybe you shouldn't go?"
“Since it’s destined to happen, there’s no escaping it. The demon war is the key point.” Song Qi looked at the pastries shaped like various small animals on the plate, picked one up casually, and bit off the cat’s head. “Just be careful when the time comes, and try to resolve things peacefully.”
"Um."
