"Get up quickly." Bai Qingqing helped the brother and sister up and said, "It is fate that we met."
"Lu Zhi, Lu Yao, I am the hall master of the Star Moon Sect. Would you be willing to become my disciples?" Yun Yue cleared his throat, took a step forward, and asked.
There's no need to wait until they're ten to have their spiritual roots tested.
Having consumed the elixir refined by Miss Bai and so many delicacies prepared by Tian Susu, his aptitude must be quite remarkable.
Haven't you seen that the common people in Tianyuan City who have taken the pills are either blue or purple?
If he doesn't make a move now, when he returns to the Star Moon Sect, a whole bunch of people will be waiting to snatch him away.
We can't afford to waste this perfect combination of timing, location, and people.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhan slapped his forehead.
My grandfather hasn't taken on any apprentices for many, many years.
He suddenly took two kids as his disciples, and now he'll have to call them "Master Aunt" and "Master Master Sister" when they meet again...
“Grandfather, I have something to say, but I don’t know if I should,” Yun Zhan said.
"It's not appropriate to talk about it." Yun Yue didn't even spare Yun Zhan a glance, but looked at the two siblings with loving and ardent eyes.
"Clan Chief Yun, they haven't tested their spiritual roots yet," Bai Qingqing said. "What if they don't have spiritual roots in the future..."
“That’s fine too.” Yun Yue smiled. “If they really don’t have spiritual roots, they can join my Yun family and live a carefree life as young masters and ladies. My Yun family actually has quite a few ordinary people.”
He could guess Bai Qingqing's previous concerns, so he deliberately added this last sentence.
After all, they are a family, not a sect dedicated to cultivating immortality like the Star Moon Sect.
"Lu Zhi, Lu Yao, Chief Yun is at the half-step immortal realm. Would you be willing to become his disciples?" Bai Qingqing turned to the two siblings and asked.
"I'm willing." Lu Zhi nodded vigorously.
Seeing his brother nod, Lu Yao quickly nodded as well, and whispered, "I'm willing too."
"Alright." Yun Yue laughed heartily twice, then waved his hand to create tables, chairs, and two cups of spiritual tea: "Since you are willing, then let's become disciples now."
"Lu Zhi greets Master." Lu Zhi first performed the full kneeling ceremony, then handed a cup of spiritual tea to Yun Yue: "Master, please have some tea."
"Not bad, not bad." Yun Yue smiled and took the teacup, took a sip, and then handed a storage ring to Lu Zhi: "This is your apprenticeship gift from your master. Take it."
"Thank you, Master," Lu Zhi said respectfully as he accepted the gift.
Following suit, Lu Yao also obtained a storage ring, which he curiously examined from all angles.
“From today onwards, you will be my eighth and ninth disciples.” Yun Yue said, glancing at Yun Zhan, and said, “Zhan’er, come and pay your respects to your eighth and ninth master-aunts.”
Yun Zhan bowed with a look of utter despair: "Junior Yun Zhan greets Eighth Martial Uncle and Ninth Martial Aunt."
Lu Zhi waved his hand hurriedly: "No, no need for formalities."
“According to the clan’s seniority, this is how it should be. You don’t need to be nervous.” Yun Yue stroked Lu Zhi’s hair and said affectionately.
He had previously taken on seven disciples and originally planned never to take on any more disciples in his life.
However, a famous fortune teller from Zhongzhou, who was drinking with him, said that he was destined to have more than seven disciples.
He scoffed at the time.
In retrospect, that person truly had real skills.
"By the way, I was just about to ask you, who named you?" Yun Yue asked.
Their parents and uncles were just ordinary fishermen, probably illiterate.
“He’s the village teacher.” Lu Zhi said, pursing his lips. He looked up at Bai Qingqing and asked with some trepidation, “Immortal, before we go to the Star Moon Sect, can we go back to the fishing village first?”
Although he couldn't discern the difference in their skill levels, he instinctively felt that Bai Qingqing was the most powerful.
Moreover, his parents and uncle have all passed away, and he wants to go back and build a cenotaph for them.
I'll take a few things with me when I leave.
"Of course." Bai Qingqing nodded and smiled, "Don't call me 'Immortal,' it sounds awkward. Just call me Sister Bai from now on."
“Yes, Sister Bai,” Lu Zhi said gratefully.
Yun Zhan couldn't help but slap his forehead again. Why did it feel like his seniority had dropped so much after coming out for a trip?
"Tell the address to the White Dragon Horse, and let's set off now," Bai Qingqing said.
After locking onto the address, the white dragon horse let out a long neigh and led a carload of people straight to that small fishing village.
The distance wasn't far, and we arrived quickly.
only……
The entire fishing village was shrouded in a thick stench of blood, and the sight before one's eyes made one want to vomit.
Yuexi immediately raised her hand to cover Lu Yao's eyes.
Bai Qingqing clenched her fingers.
The ground was littered with severed limbs and mutilated bodies, and the gushing blood stained the earth red.
"There are people there." Bai Qingqing pointed to a spot not far away where three or five burly men were squatting on the ground with their backs to them, doing something unknown.
Upon hearing Bai Qingqing's voice, the three or five burly men turned around abruptly.
It's not human at all.
Two of them had fish mouths and whiskers, their faces covered with black scales, and they were chewing on a piece of an arm with their wide teeth.
The other three had human faces, but no hands. The front of their arms were two enormous shrimp claws, and their bare necks and arms were covered by bluish-black shells.
“They are fish-beasts and shrimp-beasts,” said Prime Minister Turtle.
"These beasts are slaughtering mortals again." Yun Yue's vines danced, instantly binding the five burly men.
The vines tightened, and the thorns on them dug deep into their flesh.
"Aren't the shrimp clan guarded by the Dragon Palace? Why can they still come ashore and eat people?" Bai Qingqing turned to look at the Turtle Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Turtle wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The Canglan Sea is vast, and the Shrimp Palace is not just one place; these are other places as well."
“Village Chief, Grandpa Leng, Aunt Geng, Xiao Hua…” Lu Zhi knelt down with a thud, his eyes red and tears streaming down his face.
Although Lu Yao couldn't see anything, she couldn't help but sob softly when she heard Lu Zhi crying.
The two fish and three shrimp were also terrified.
I was trembling all over.
They had clearly scouted the area; the original guardians of this small fishing village had disappeared long ago, which is why they dared to come and forage.
How could I be so unlucky as to run into a group of even stronger ones?
I'm going to die now.
Human cultivators will certainly not let them go.
Bai Qingqing helped Lu Zhi up, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "They will definitely be reborn into a good family in their next life and live a peaceful and happy life."
When Bai Qingqing said this, Yun Yue and his group instinctively looked up at the sky.
Bai Qingqing said this in Tianyuan City, which attracted Meng Po's attention.
As expected.
Halfway there, another road of yellow sand appeared, and at the end of the road, alluring red flowers bloomed...
After giving those people the Meng Po soup and sending them across the bridge, Meng Po bowed respectfully in the direction of Bai Qingqing before slowly disappearing into the void.
Everything was just as it had been seen in Tianyuan City that day.
