Chapter 2 002 The Kid Next Door
At this moment, several disciples who had passed the qualification verification entered. Two of the female disciples' eyes lit up when they saw Mo Feiyun, and they exchanged a smile. There was no instant attraction or anything like that; the two female disciples quickly went to talk under the shade of a tree. They exchanged nothing more than names and addresses.
Song Chi stood under the shade of flowers not far away. After a while, a very elegant and handsome inner disciple in a gray robe arrived riding a black tortoise.
He stopped at the edge of the cliff on the east bank of the council chamber and waved to them.
"Come over here, six people at a time, that's just enough. I am Wen Shuo from the inner sect, I'll be escorting you to Dongcui Mountain for resettlement."
"Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Wen."
Song Chi and the others hurried over. Before they ascended the Xuan Turtle, Senior Brother Wen had checked their inner disciple jade tokens.
Song Chi and Mo Feiyun were almost the last two. She took out her jade token and showed it to Senior Brother Wen before jumping onto the Xuan Turtle. Then it was Mo Feiyun's turn. As soon as he showed his white jade token, Senior Brother Wen gasped.
"It's a genius disciple!" He glanced around and cursed, "That Qi Yu, he's been slacking off again. He should be the one welcoming the genius disciple."
Then he said to Song Chi and the others, "You guys go down first. I'll take this Junior Brother Mo to Xuanyun Peak first, and then I'll come back to pick you up."
Song Chi thought to herself, "This is the real difference in treatment." This is the true world of cultivation. She was about to jump down when Mo Feiyun subtly stepped aside, blocking her path. He said to Wen Shuo, "Why don't we go together?"
His voice, unlike his icy, cold eyes, was surprisingly melodious, like pearls and jade.
Wen Shuo smiled broadly upon seeing this. The two immortal masters in front of the council hall also looked over with some surprise, and then couldn't help but nod with smiles. They seemed quite pleased that Mo Feiyun, such a genius, could be so easygoing and without a trace of arrogance.
"That's fine then. I'll first take a few junior brothers and sisters to Dongcui Mountain, and then head north to Xuanyun Peak."
Mo Feiyun nodded. After he boarded the Xuan Turtle, because he was standing at the very back, the people in front of him quickly moved over to try to make way for him.
Wen Shuo smiled, and with a sweep of his spirit, he turned everyone around, then urged the Xuan Turtle to move forward slowly.
In this way, Song Chi stood in front of Mo Feiyun and Wen Shuo.
The black tortoise soared through the clouds and mist, with distant mountains looming in front of it, and pavilions appearing and disappearing among them, and the sound of reciting could be heard from time to time.
Senior Brother Wen Shuo pointed to a magnificent mountain peak and said, "That is Qingxue Palace. Inner disciples who have just entered the sect must study at the academy for ten years."
Song Chi couldn't help but take a closer look. This academy was something that even his grandfather and parents could only dream of; it was a privilege reserved for inner disciples. Outer disciples also had their own schools, but they were only taught casually by a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the schools would close after three years.
Unlike the inner sect, where all the teaching is done by Golden Core cultivators.
"The sect has shown such great kindness in nurturing you. When you go to the academy, you must not be lazy and must follow the immortal master to cultivate diligently."
Song Chi and the others quickly and respectfully bowed to Qingxue Palace, expressing their determination to study diligently and live up to the sect's expectations.
Senior Brother Wen Shuo nodded upon seeing this, and then, seeing that Mo Feiyun was also looking at the Qingxue Palace, he smiled gently. "Junior Brother Mo doesn't need to come to the academy to study."
Song Chi and the others agreed. A genius like Mo Feiyun, once he entered the sect, would naturally become a disciple of a sect leader and receive instruction from him regularly, so he wouldn't need to attend classes at the inner sect academy.
Next, the black tortoise carried everyone through the misty canyon below, crossed two mountains to the north, and then headed east.
"Look! Those flying flowers and flying swords!" Dai Jia pointed to the sky. She was one of two female disciples; the other was named Cheng Yao.
After saying that, Dai Jia's face turned bright red. She probably felt ashamed of her lack of worldly experience.
But it's not really shameful. Just now, when they rode the Xuan Turtle, many disciples flew past, including quite a few sword cultivators who flew on swords.
But the flamboyant way the pink flowers fluttered in the sky as it flew on its sword was truly something I had never seen before.
Song Chi looked up at the familiar, flamboyant blue-clad disciple with flying pink flowers, then couldn't help but turn his face away.
If she were to encounter something that resembled a plot point or a fortuitous chance after transmigrating, it would undoubtedly be that flamboyant peacock Ye Qingyu flying in the sky.
Last spring, the neighboring Immortal Manor was bought and renovated. In the summer, Ye Qingyu came with his aunt to escape the heat.
At that time, Song Chi was playing the zither in the courtyard when Ye Qingchi jumped onto the wall, crossed his arms, stared at her for a couple of seconds, gave her a disdainful look, let out a strange laugh, and jumped off the wall.
Then she heard the boy next door inquiring about her background and learning that she had seventy-seven spiritual roots in all three elements: metal, water, and wood.
That bastard laughed until tears seemed to fall, and from then on, he would call her "Qiqi" whenever he saw her.
Song Chi, out of respect for the young man's status as a descendant of the prestigious Ye family, dared not offend him and thus simply ignored him. Fortunately, the young man only stayed for half a month before returning to the Ye family.
I came back again this summer and stayed for a few days. When I left, I jumped onto the wall, crossed my arms, and asked her with my still arrogant gaze.
"Hey, which sect are you planning to join?"
Song Chi replied with three words: "Changyun Sect!"
Ye Qingyu chuckled strangely and nodded mockingly. "That's true. With your spiritual root of seventy-seven, you can only send a generous gift to the Changyun Sect and maybe you can get a spot as an inner disciple by luck."
Song Chi didn't even bother to reply to him and simply ignored him.
Ye Qingyu didn't stay long and returned to the Ye family that same day.
I can't believe this bastard actually came to the Azure Sword Sect. The Ye family is a prestigious family in the Southwest, at least hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Azure Sword Sect. Besides, there's a top-tier sect like the Spirit Void Immortal Sect in the Southwest. Why would a genius like him travel thousands of miles to the Azure Sword Sect instead of going to the Spirit Void Immortal Sect?
Could it be that you've come here as a guest?
However, Song Chi immediately noticed the white jade token in his hand, which had the words "Azure Sword Sect" on it.
This must really be a disciple of the Azure Sword Sect. Although Song Chi was slightly surprised, she quickly realized that Ye Qingyu was the peerless genius with perfect values of the three spiritual roots of metal, water, and wood that she had longed for but could not obtain. He was born to be a sound cultivator, and this kid also had the Golden Sword Illusion, so he could also practice swordsmanship at the same time.
According to Song Chi's investigation, the Azure Sword Sect does indeed seem to be one of the three major sects on the continent that possesses the ancient musical rhythms from ten thousand years ago.
Then it seems only natural that Ye Qingyu came to the Azure Sword Sect.
"Song Chi?"
Ye Qingyu also spotted her at a glance, suddenly stopped, and then stared at her while shrugging his shoulders and laughing a few times.
That handsome face, tinged with mockery, still held that masochistic expression of the second male lead who would never get the female lead.
In the spirit of not wanting to ruin his image, Song Chi smiled and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture. "So it's Young Master Ye!"
"Young Master Ye?! Hmph." Ye Qingyu let out a muffled laugh, then flicked his sleeve and followed his uncle ahead, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye on his flying sword.
Senior Brother Wen Shuo immediately urged the Xuan Turtle to speed eastward, glancing at Song Chi twice in the process.
"The seventh young master of the Ye family in Meiquan, Southwest China, has become a disciple of Venerable Tonghua of our sect. I never expected that Junior Sister Song would know him."
Venerable Tonghua is one of the four Venerables of the Azure Sword Sect and the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sound Pavilion, which oversees the Sound Sect. She is a renowned powerhouse in the southern region of Jade Bamboo Mountain in the southwest of the entire continent.
Song Chi knew all this, and thought to himself, "Just as I suspected." If it weren't for Venerable Tonghua taking him as a disciple, a noble young master like Ye Qingyu probably wouldn't have condescended to serve the Qingjian Sect. After all, among the sects in the southwest, the Qingjian Sect's strength could only be considered second-tier, with four exceptionally powerful sects above them.
As for Senior Brother Wen Shuo's probing words, Song Chi simply smiled. "I bumped into you once on the street. I never expected that Young Master Ye, such a precious jewel in the heavens, would still remember me." She looked very honored.
Wen Shuo glanced at her, smiled, and didn't continue the topic. Mainly, Song Chi's clothing was made of ordinary fabric typical of a moderately wealthy family. You could tell from her attire that she came from a modest background. She probably really didn't have much of a chance to meet Young Master Ye.
Soon they arrived at Dongcui Mountain, where the inner disciples lived amidst a range of mountains stretching for dozens of miles.
This year's new disciples were settled in the Peach Blossom Mountains in the southeast. The area has about ten beautiful peaks, and the valleys are filled with peach blossoms that stretch all the way to the end of the sect's great formation, covering at least several dozen miles of peach groves.
The reason such a stunning view is reserved for new disciples is simply because the spiritual energy here is relatively thin. The most abundant spiritual energy within the sect is naturally found in the mountains where Xuan Yun Peak is located in the north, where there is also a Bright Moon Lake, whose water is said to be as nourishing as a spiritual spring.
Therefore, within the sect, the closer to the central and northern regions, the denser the spiritual energy becomes.
Senior Brother Wen Shuo dropped the three of them off at Peach Blossom Peak, and now disciples are coming to pick them up.
The disciple used his spiritual power to examine the tokens of Song Chi and the other two, then nodded and led them to a house in the middle of the mountain. The house consisted of four exquisitely crafted chambers: two to the north and two each to the east and west, all enclosed by the same courtyard wall. Senior Brother Zhu explained that this was to facilitate the formation of a spiritual energy array.
In short, it's like four people sharing a courtyard, but each room within it is independent. Song Chi was quite relieved that she didn't have to go through the hassle of living in the same dormitory. She knew exactly what the dorms were like when she was in university.
Moreover, she enjoyed being alone, so this fulfilled her little wish. As for the outer disciples, it was said that four people shared a small room. Thinking of this, Song Chi was extremely grateful to Senior Brother Zhuo Yu, who had tested his aptitude, and to that Steward Sun. If he had the chance, he would definitely repay their kindness.
There are slight differences in the spiritual energy of these four abodes; the two on the north side are noticeably better, while the ones on the east and west sides are a grade lower.
