Guan Kong dismissed the celestial birds and auspicious beasts, entered the village, and walked on the yellow earth path, his silk stockings clean and dust-free.
Before long, she arrived at a courtyard.
The courtyard was very large, with a tall gate. Guan Kong and the child stepped into the courtyard. The guards at the gate seemed not to see them and just stood at the gate chatting and laughing quietly.
Guan Kong led the boy through the central courtyard and into the backyard.
At this moment, the backyard was bustling with activity, with many old women busy at work, seemingly helping a woman give birth.
The women all pretended not to see Guan Kong's arrival.
Outside the window of a side room in the backyard, there were a few peach trees, and the branches were laden with peaches, each one plump and firm, the smallest as big as a fist, weighing down the branches.
Inside the room, a dignified woman was giving birth, constantly crying out in pain.
After waiting for a while, a baby's cry suddenly rang out in the room.
The strange phenomena in the sky became clearer and clearer, and the auspicious light and auspicious energy all transformed into colorful clouds that changed endlessly in the sky, scattering golden flowers.
"It's born!"
"The lady has given birth!"
"A baby boy has been born!"
The midwife exclaimed happily.
Guan Kong smiled softly from outside the window: "My eldest disciple has finally been born!"
Having said that, she no longer concealed her presence, revealing herself to everyone as she stepped into the room.
"Ah! Who are you people?"
The people in the room gasped in surprise when they saw Guan Kong and his companion suddenly enter.
Guan Kong ignored them and simply instructed the boy, "Boy, go and bring the child here so I can take a look."
"yes."
The boy agreed, took a few steps forward, snatched the swaddling clothes from the midwife, and carried the child back to Guan Kong.
Guan Kong lowered his eyes and looked down.
Normally, a newborn baby's features haven't fully developed yet, so they should be wrinkled and look kind of ugly-cute.
However, the baby before them had skin as smooth as jade, features that were relaxed and open, and a pair of innocent eyes that sparkled with intelligence as they moved, revealing its extraordinary nature.
Just then, someone in the sky suddenly shouted: "What a blessing! A divine child has been born here, destined to become my furnace."
Guan Kong frowned upon hearing this, and with a sweep of his divine sense, he saw a dark cloud hanging above the courtyard, and standing in the cloud was a sinister-looking demonic cultivator.
Turns out he was a little devil.
Guan Kong withdrew his divine sense and flicked his finger to unleash a sword light as thin as a spider's thread.
The sword light burst through the window and instantly shot into the dark cloud.
Before the demonic cultivator could react, the sword light circled around him.
"ah!"
After a scream, the demonic cultivator was immediately cut in two at the waist.
Just as he was about to escape from his primordial spirit, the sword light flashed again, pulverizing his primordial spirit into dust.
After the primordial spirit shattered, it directly dissipated into wisps of primordial energy.
The demonic cloud hanging in the sky also dissipated in the wind...
"How could you, a mere little demon, possibly covet my disciple?"
Hu Le gave a light hum, his mind racing, and once again urged the sword light to scatter the auspicious light and auspicious energy that filled the sky.
Such an unusual phenomenon, while proving that this child is extraordinary by nature, could also easily bring him trouble.
Although Guan Kong was not afraid, he was too lazy to deal with it, so he simply eliminated the trouble at its source...
"Who are you? Give me back my son!"
The woman lying on the bed cried out anxiously when she saw her newborn child fall into the arms of a stranger.
If it weren't for the fact that Guan Kong was also a woman, with a kind and gentle face, and an aura of Daoist cultivation, she probably would have jumped out of bed long ago and snatched the child back.
Despite having just given birth, she had practiced witchcraft and possessed excellent recovery abilities. Although she had depleted some of her vital energy during childbirth, she was still healthy.
In just a short while, after absorbing two mouthfuls of spiritual energy, his strength had recovered considerably, and he was no longer afraid to fight anyone.
“Madam, please don’t be anxious. I have no ill intentions in coming here. I have only come because I have calculated that your son is destined to be my disciple. I am here to take your son under my tutelage for cultivation. I hope that you will grant my request,” Guan Kong said calmly.
If you want to take this child as your apprentice, you must first tell his mother and get the consent of his family.
She wasn't one of those demonic cultivators who could simply snatch a disciple they fancied, or even slaughter their entire family, all under the guise of "severing worldly ties."
The woman felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this, but still asked, "May I ask your honorable name, fairy maiden, and where you reside in the immortal realm?"
Seeing Guan Kong's ethereal beauty and the aura of Taoism emanating from him, she knew he must be a celestial being. It was a good thing that her child had been chosen by him.
Regardless of whether she becomes an apprentice or not, she still needs to know the other party's background.
She certainly didn't want her child to become an apprentice of someone of unknown origin.
Guan Kong smiled slightly and said, "It is good for you to know, Madam. I am Guan Kong, a Qi cultivator from Penglai in the East Sea."
Ah! Penglai Island? Observing the Sky?
The lady was startled and sat up abruptly in bed, her face full of surprise.
She knew all too well that Penglai Immortal Island was the Daoist temple of His Majesty the Human Emperor.
As for Guan Kong, she had heard of that name before. He was the Human Emperor's eldest disciple, who had always been in charge of the human race on behalf of the Human Emperor and held the power of life and death over the Yanhuang tribe.
"Is it really Her Majesty herself in person?"
The lady said with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Guan Kong chuckled, "Is that even a lie? I doubt anyone among the human race would dare to impersonate me."
The lady thought about it and agreed. With the level of cultivation and status of Lady Guankong, who would dare to impersonate her?
She hurriedly got out of bed, thinking of greeting Guan Kong.
"No need for such formalities."
With a flick of his whisk, Guan Kong made the lady feel as if she were enveloped by a gentle force, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't kneel down...
Seeing this, she immediately abandoned her intention to kneel and personally led Guan Kong to the main room, invited her to sit down, and served Guan Kong seasonal fresh fruit.
Then, she ordered her family to invite her husband home.
It turns out that the male head of the household was named Wu Qi, the high priest of this small tribe, and was currently working in the tribe.
Now, Guan Kong has suddenly appeared at their residence and wants to take their son as his disciple.
As a mother, she couldn't make this decision alone, so she could only order someone to quickly bring Wu Qi back and let him make a decision...
Not long after, Wu Qi hurriedly returned with his family. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately saw Guan Kong.
As an elder of this tribe, he had once accompanied the chieftain to Mount Buyoukongfang to worship the Human Emperor.
He had naturally met Guan Kong.
Upon meeting him, she recognized him immediately.
He hurried forward a few steps, came to Guan Kong's side, and knelt down, saying, "Elder Wu Qi of the Fengyang tribe greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with ten thousand years of happiness and peace."
"Get up."
Guan Kong nodded slightly and said calmly.
Wu Qi then stood up and stood respectfully with his hands clasped in his hands.
Even though there were empty seats next to him, he naturally didn't dare to sit down until Guan Kong spoke.
After all, Guan Kong was of noble status; there was no place for him in front of her…
