Yunqi decided to put this sense of familiarity aside.
"May I have your name?"
"I...don't remember."
"How did you end up lying alone in the snow? Where are your family?"
"I...I don't remember..." the boy said anxiously, tugging at his clothes.
"So what are your plans next?"
The boy looked at Yunqi with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation: "...Can I come with you, sister?"
"cannot."
The boy seemed surprised by Yunqi's decisive refusal and stood there stunned for a moment.
"Give me your hand."
The boy reached out his hand.
Yunqi took the boy's hand and examined his body. Based on his bone age, he was indeed an eight-year-old child. Appearances can deceive, but bone age cannot.
Yunqi examined the boy's body again. The boy had good aptitude and talent for cultivation. If he had someone to guide him, it wouldn't be impossible for him to ascend to immortality.
This is a child's body, so why can't Xiao Qi identify him? There are no signs of possession on the boy's body... It's so strange...
Well, it's not within her mission scope anyway, so Yunqi doesn't plan to interfere too much.
"Your health is fine. I'll be leaving town in a few days. What are your plans?"
The boy persisted, "Can't you take me with you when you leave, sister?"
"cannot."
The boy was very disappointed after being rejected by Yunqi again...
"Can you read?"
The boy shook his head.
Yunqi said, "How about this, I'll help you find a school, you can go to school and I'll pay for all the expenses."
"And what about your older sister?"
"I will leave."
The boy asked again, "Sister, can't you really take me with you?"
"cannot."
"……All right."
So, would you like to go to school?
"I do."
"Okay. I'll find a school for you in the next few days."
"What's your name, sister? When I grow up, I'll definitely repay you!"
"You don't need to repay me. I just want you to be a kind person and not do anything immoral when you grow up."
"I will definitely be a kind person! Sister, you still haven't told me your name."
...It's alright to tell him. "My name is Yunqi."
"Sister Yunqi."
"...Alright. It's getting late, you should get some rest." Yun Qi got up and went back to the guest room across the street to rest.
These past two days, Yunqi found a school. The school was simple and there weren't many students. Yunqi saw that the teacher who was giving the lecture had a righteous air about him, so she decided to choose this school!
Yunqi met the teacher and explained her purpose: she wanted to send the boy to live and study here.
Yunqi pushed the boy forward a step. The boy nodded and bowed to the teacher, saying, "Hello, teacher."
The teacher was somewhat embarrassed and let the boy go into the classroom first to listen to the lesson. He then led Yunqi into the reception room.
“Young lady, you are no ordinary person. Why do you want your child to study here? As you can see, I have only a few students here, which is nothing compared to the big academy in town.”
"Master, do not underestimate yourself. I see that you are upright and honest, and I am sure you can teach him well!"
“Master, I am a cultivator and will be leaving soon. I won’t be able to take care of this child indefinitely.” Yunqi then briefly explained how she found the child, including his amnesia. She also promised that if the Master was willing to take him in, she would pay for all his expenses and would also contribute to the repair of the school.
The school is dilapidated and definitely needs repairs; the teacher is indeed in dire need of money: "This..."
Yunqi took out several gold ingots: "Master, I don't ask him to be very successful in the future, I only hope that he can read and write, know propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and be a kind person!"
"I will certainly not fail your expectations, young lady!"
"Then I thank you in advance, Master."
Yunqi called the boy over: "Master, this child has amnesia and doesn't remember his own name. Master, please give him a name."
Realizing that Yunqi was unwilling to name him herself, she asked the teacher to help. (Yunqi didn't let the boy name himself because he said he couldn't read. She didn't name him herself either, partly because she was bad at it and didn't want to get involved in too much karma; and partly because having the teacher name him would differentiate him from the other students, and the teacher would surely give him more attention and care.)
The boy immediately said, "I want to take my sister's surname, 'Yun'!"
The master was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Then let's call it 'Yunxiao' (Cloud Soaring)."
"Yunxiao thanks the Master."
I saw the room that Master prepared for Yunxiao. Although it was a bit simple, it was very clean.
Yunqi bought him paper, ink, brushes, inkstones, and some changes of clothes, and gave him some money before preparing to leave.
Yunxiao tugged at Yunqi's sleeve: "Will my sister come back to see me?"
Looking into the boy's expectant eyes, Yunqi couldn't bring herself to refuse this time.
"If I have the chance, I will come back to see you."
"Yes! Sister, I will definitely study hard with the teacher!"
After leaving the town, Yunqi originally planned to return to the God Realm, but Xiaoqi insisted on tasting the delicacies of the human world before she would leave.
What can you do when you encounter such a "willful" little Qi? You can only spoil her.
This time, Xiaoqi transformed into a human and enjoyed a delicious meal in a private room at a restaurant. It's definitely more convenient to eat food as a human!
"tasty!"
Xiaoqi kept eating and picked up another chicken leg to gnaw on.
The waiter, who was serving food again, looked at the mountain of empty plates beside him and began to question his existence...
How could two frail little girls eat so much food?! Even competitive eaters don't eat like that!
After the waiter left, Yunqi finally spoke, "Xiaoqi, that's enough, you've eaten enough..."
