Li Qingan pondered to himself.
"Sister Xueqi, I want to become a disciple of Brother Qing'an's Heavenly Array Peak!"
Su Yue spoke at this moment, her rough little hands tugging at Lu Xueqi's sleeve.
Lu Xueqi turned to look at Li Qingan, waiting for his reply.
According to her opinion, Su Yue was the most suitable person to join Tianzhen Peak.
After joining the sect, given Li Qing'an's strength and status, Su Yue should be able to at least reach the Upper Clarity Realm.
This is the best arrangement for Su Yue.
She didn't want to wait hundreds of years to see everyone connected to Grandma Su die, until in the end, that kind old woman would only remain in Li Qing'an's and her mind's memory.
Moreover, this was the last request Grandma Su left her before she passed away.
Li Qingan glanced at the two of them and smiled.
This little girl is clever; she knows that my Heavenly Array Peak is no ordinary place.
"Alright, little silly, from now on you will be the eldest disciple of my Heavenly Array Peak!"
The words just fell!
Su Yue got off the table, came to Li Qing'an, and kowtowed three times to him, just like in the storybook.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Meet the Master!"
Li Qingan was somewhat surprised by Su Yue's decisiveness.
She probably doesn't know the prestige of Qingyun Sect's Heavenly Array Peak in the cultivation world!
Such decisiveness—if Li Qingan hadn't trusted Grandma Su's judgment, he would have suspected Su Yue of having ulterior motives.
"Get up!"
Li Qingan stepped forward to help her up, patted her head, and said, "You are my first disciple. In a few days, come back to Qingyun Sect with us!"
"It's Master!"
Seeing that she had successfully become an apprentice, Su Yue felt relieved and her face showed the anticipation that was appropriate for someone her age.
What should the Qingyun Sect be like?
Brother Qing'an, no, I should say Master now. What's Tianzhen Peak like where Master is...?
Will I be able to live a long time in the future?
I've heard that the underworld is where souls gather and reincarnate.
If one's cultivation is strong enough, and one finds the legendary underworld, perhaps one can see Grandma Su again!
Su Yue pondered, a hint of nostalgia on her face.
"Stop daydreaming! Use these next few days to pack your things! Once the Qixi Festival in the city is over, we'll take you back to the mountains!"
Li Qingan gently tapped her forehead to bring her back to her senses.
"The Qixi Festival!"
Su Yue quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her mind, covered her mouth and chuckled, looked at Lu Xueqi, and then glanced at Li Qingan.
She understood the two of them perfectly well!
"Okay Master!"
Chapter 164 Little Dumb: Am I also part of your play?
The three of them finished their meal.
Li Qingan looked at the two figures in front of him, one large and one small, and coughed twice.
"Xueqi, I'll take Xiaodaidai home first. You rest first, I'll be back in a bit!"
Li Qingan spoke seriously, looking at the two of them with no ill intentions whatsoever.
Lu Xueqi's aloof demeanor vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of nervousness.
At this point, she knew perfectly well what it meant that her brother had only cleaned one room!
Lu Xueqi quickly stepped past Li Qingan and pulled Su Yue outside, saying, "No, my brother is tired. I'll take her there!"
"Xueqi, as Xiaodaidai's master, it is naturally my responsibility to return this matter."
Seeing Lu Xueqi's appearance, Li Qingan knew perfectly well that Lu Xueqi had left and would not come back, leaving him alone in an empty room!
Thinking of this, Li Qingan took Su Yue's other hand and said to Lu Xueqi, "You rest first, I'll be back later!"
"No!" Lu Xueqi was extremely embarrassed and held onto Su Yue's hand tightly.
"Listen to me!" Li Qingan pulled Su Yue toward him.
"No!" Lu Xueqi blushed, still unwilling to give up, and pulled Su Yue towards herself again.
"..."
Su Yue's usually quick-witted mind was a little confused, and she said weakly, "Um, Master, Sister Xueqi, I can go back by myself!"
"No, you can't!" x2
The two said in unison.
Su Yue: "...Am I also part of your play?!"
After a while.
In the end, Li Qingan couldn't go against Lu Xueqi's wishes.
Watching Lu Xueqi pull Su Yue away.
Their silhouettes appeared so hazy in the night.
Snowflakes are falling, and the north wind is howling...
An inexplicable melody lingered in Li Qing'an's ears.
Li Qingan stood alone at the door, watching the two leave before returning to the room he had cleaned to sleep.
........
The next day, early morning!
The sky was overcast, and a fine drizzle was falling from the sky. The puddles by the roadside were filled with yellow muddy water.
Water droplets continuously condensed on the wildflowers and grasses, then dripped into the muddy puddles, causing ripples to spread across them.
A place with good feng shui outside Shuiyun City.
It is close to the mountains and near the water.
Before a small earthen mound and a stone tablet, the blue smoke from burning yellow paper shot straight into the sky against the drizzle before disappearing.
As if sensing the prayers of the crowd, it responded.
Su Yue and Lu Xueqi knelt down and kowtowed three times to the stone tablet.
After the two got up, Lu Xueqi's forehead was already covered with some dirt.
"I'm still here!"
Li Qing'an paid no attention to his disciple, who was still very short, and reached out to wipe the dirt from her forehead.
He could sense the sadness in the woman's eyes, but perhaps because she had embarked on the path of cultivation, she had already made her own plans, which were not visible on her face!
After wiping it away, Li Qingan also knelt down and kowtowed three times to the short, small mound.
During those four years, Grandma Su helped him a lot. She even recommended the place where he did odd jobs. Otherwise, Li Qing'an probably wouldn't have been able to establish himself in the city so easily!
He should kneel in respect!
"I will fulfill your last wish. I will make Su Yue a peerless figure in the cultivation world!"
Li Qing'an knelt down and silently recited in his heart.
After kneeling three times, Li Qingan also stood up, his hair and forehead covered with a little dirt.
Similarly, Lu Xueqi wiped the dirt off Li Qingan's forehead.
Su Yue watched from the side and inexplicably felt a bit full.
He turned his head away, no longer looking at the two of them.
So disgusting! Absolutely disgusting!!
A few moments later, the three watched as the fireworks burned out, leaving only bluish-gray floating in the breeze, gradually covering the small mound.
Neither Li Qingan nor Lu Xueqi shielded themselves from the rain, letting their hair be exposed to the drizzle, eventually turning into water droplets that slid down their temples.
The sky is overcast, and even the falling flowers seem to weep. The wind and rain bring rain into my eyes, stirring up a thousand thoughts in my heart!
........
The person is gone.
Moreover, he died of old age.
The three of them were not too saddened and returned to their lodgings to continue their lives.
The drizzle had stopped by the afternoon, and the sun shone again.
After the rain, the air becomes even cooler, and if you are wearing light clothing, you might even feel a slight chill.
This also prompted more people in the city to leave their homes and prepare for the Qixi Festival the following day.
The temple fair in the city center is already under construction, with lights being set up and preparations underway!
Unmarried women would stay at home to practice needlework and make small sachets to give to their female companions. Then, under various cover, they would go out together with their female companions.
Women who have already made up their minds and whose families are already engaged will also go to the lantern festival, hoping to travel with their future husbands.
On this day, the man put aside his studies and career aspirations, planning to go out the next night to gaze at the stars, express his feelings, and secretly pray for a good marriage!
The sky is so clear, even the heavens seem to want to grant our wish!
