Chapter 14 Returning to the Sect
"Liu...qi."
Luo Yan repeated it in a dry voice.
"Yes, since you don't have a name, how about we call you Liu Qi from now on?"
Liu Xingxing suddenly felt quite cultured. This name, just listening to it... it sounds like one of the original female lead's harem members!
What the hell!
Liu Xingxing belatedly realized that Liu Qi was one of the most sought-after male supporting characters in the original female lead Wei Qiushuang's harem!
Many readers were captivated by him back then, and even the female characters in the novel were fans of him.
Liu Qi was originally Wei Qiushuang's junior brother. He was handsome, rich, arrogant, cunning, and loyal. However, he later went off with the "female supporting character" Lu Xihan.
Don't tell me that this dirty-faced little beggar is the handsome and rich Liu Qi from the future!
Wang Defa!
In the novel, Liu Qi's early description is zero; his first appearance is as "Elder Gongsun's precious little apprentice" in other people's words.
What did she bring back?
She named it?
Did she hand him over to Elder Gongsun?
Liu Xingxing suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Does this count as having some interaction with the main characters?
Liu Xingxing placed her hand on his head and touched his bone age and root bone. Thirteen years old, mutated ice spirit root, everything matched.
Liu Xingxing suddenly had a momentary urge to die.
He achieved Foundation Establishment at the age of sixteen. Liu Qi's first appearance after Lu Xihan and the others returned from their three-year training trip down the mountain was on the very day he achieved Foundation Establishment, and the timing also matches up.
Liu Xingxing remained silent for a while before accepting the fact, and then asked gently as always, "Hey, Xiao Qi, do you want to come back with me, back to my sect?"
Little Luo Yan stared at her for a while before speaking: "Sister, are you a cultivator? Can someone like me... also go to the immortal sect?"
"Immortal sects don't care about background. As long as you have good aptitude, you will definitely be a talent that all immortal sects will fight for. I just touched your aptitude, and it is excellent. Your future path to immortality will definitely be smooth."
Liu Xingxing decided to curry favor with the plot master. Whether intentional or unintentional, she had already interfered in the matter, so she could only go all the way and see it through to the end.
Luo Yan knew this all too well. The major sects of the immortal realm could fight over you today, but they could abandon you for their own benefit tomorrow. Luo Yan was well aware of this.
"Sister's sect must be a major sect. I'm going back with you."
This time, he wanted to see what path he could take.
After all, he hasn't even tried the righteous path yet.
Luo Yan looked up at the person who was much taller than him, who was smiling brightly.
Although Liu Qi was covered in dirt, the little boy's smile was so adorable that it made this old auntie, Liu Xingxing, very happy.
She cast a cleansing spell on him, then placed her hand on his shoulder. A wisp of blue light floated around him, and in no time, all the wounds on his body, big and small, were healed.
Liu Xingxing looked him over again and smiled gently, "I don't have any clothes that fit you here yet. I'll buy you some when we go down the mountain tomorrow."
"it is good."
Liu Qinuo responded softly.
……
Half a month later, Liu Xingxing slowly returned to Xuanshan Sect.
As luck would have it, the inner sect competition is tomorrow. Liu Xingxing thought the competition would be a little later, which is why she rushed back so late.
When Liu Qi, who had come back with him, saw the three big characters of Xuanshan Sect, he knew that this time, he would take a different path.
Liu Xingxing concealed her presence and flew directly to Luoqian Peak to find Gongsun Qian.
Each peak of Xuanshan Sect has a restriction that allows only those on the peak to enter and exit freely. Outsiders must inform the master and obtain permission before entering. However, Liu Xingxing flew directly to the gate of Gongsun Qian's residence as if nothing was wrong.
After leading Liu Qi off the flying vehicle, Liu Xingxing knocked on the main courtyard door. There was still a fresh, active atmosphere inside, indicating that the old man Gongsun Qian was not in seclusion.
Liu Xingxing knocked three times and waited for a while, but no one came. She became a little impatient. According to the layout of the main courtyard, there was enough time for Gongsun to react from the time she knocked on the door until now. But she hadn't seen a thing yet.
Liu Xingxing knocked on the door a second time and waited patiently for a while, but still no one came.
Liu Qi asked with great "innocence," "Sister, does he dislike us? Are all immortals like this?"
Liu Xingxing glanced at Liu Qi, who had already tidied herself up. Liu Qi was always the one giving others attitude, so Liu Xingxing immediately became unhappy and shouted, "Old man Gongsun, if you don't come out, I'm just barging in. I won't pay for the broken door!"
Who is causing trouble here?
A powerful pressure came from inside the courtyard, but Liu Xingxing raised her hand and immediately deflected it, saying with disdain, "Old man, if you don't come out soon, I'm really going to tear everything down inside."
In the blink of an eye, a white-haired, youthful-looking but old-fashioned Taoist priest in purple robes appeared before them.
Knowing that the oppressive aura had been withdrawn, Gongsun Qian instantly lost her previous arrogance: "Since you were able to withstand my oppressive aura, you must be quite strong. However... I have never seen you before?"
"I...oh dear, I almost forgot."
Liu Xingxing then remembered that she hadn't removed her disguise yet, so she made a hand seal to change her disguise and reveal her true appearance.
Gongsun Qian was terrified when he saw the ordinary-looking woman reveal her true face and hurriedly performed a deep bow.
"This junior was unaware that it was Patriarch Qingjun who had come to visit; I deserve to die! When did Patriarch Qingjun return from his travels?"
Upon hearing the name Qingjun, Liu Qi's pupils constricted sharply. This person... was actually Liu Jun, a half-step immortal!
When Liu Qi looked up, he saw that the person still holding his hand had transformed from an ordinary-looking woman into a stunningly beautiful and ethereal fairy in the blink of an eye. Even the clothes she was wearing had changed into a high-quality fairy robe made of some unknown material.
Even Liu Qi himself doubted whether he was really that lucky this time.
Liu Xingxing didn't intend to make a fuss: "Don't put on airs so easily next time."
Gongsun Qian dared not say no, he was almost scared to death: "Yes, Ancestor is right to teach me a lesson, I will definitely correct it, there will be no next time."
"Alright, enough of that nonsense. I've come to deliver a good disciple to you."
Without wasting any words, Liu Xingxing pushed Liu Qi directly in front of him.
Gongsun Qian's eyes lit up immediately; the one his ancestor had brought back must be a good prospect.
"His name is Liu Qi, a name I gave him. He has a mutated ice spirit root. Is he good enough to be your last disciple?"
Gongsun Qian's eyes brightened even more, and he smiled like a two-hundred-pound fat man: "Enough, enough, absolutely enough! What the ancestor has decided on, there's no mistake!"
"But how could you... such a talented child..."
Gongsun Qian still had some sense.
"If I were to take him in, how would you older folks face yourselves?"
That would mean their seniority would be doubled.
That makes sense. If Liu Jun wanted to take on disciples, there would be countless promising talents over the past few thousand years. Why hasn't she taken on a disciple yet?
Liu Xingxing squatted down again and said to Liu Qi with a smile, "From now on, this will be your master. You must follow him to cultivate well. If there is anything that your master cannot teach you, come to me and I will guide you."
Gongsun Qian exclaimed with delight, "Ancestor..."
“I was talking about Liu Qi, not you. You don’t need to come here seeking guidance; he’s still young.”
Gongsun Qian wanted to say that his words were a bit hurtful, ancestor. Wasn't that implying that he was too old to advance further?
It's okay, he can always use his apprentice as an excuse to go over there again. Let's see how he manages to crush those old men from the same cohort.
Luo Yan tugged at her sleeve, somewhat reluctantly: "Sister, are you leaving?"
Gongsun Qian broke out in a cold sweat. Even his grandmaster Xuanwu and the ancestor had never been this close, and he even called her "sister"!
Liu Xingxing gently patted his head: "I have something to discuss with your master. Once I've settled on a place to live, you can come over anytime you miss me."
After all, she's just a child, so it's no big deal for Liu Xingxing to coax her a little.
Liu Qi's eyes were still full of reluctance: "Okay."
Liu Xingxing then said to Gongsun Qian, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Don't worry, Ancestor."
Liu Xingxing paused for a moment, said something to Gongsun Qian, and then disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the person had left, Liu Qi composed himself. Gongsun Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted Liu Qi, and said with a smile, "Kid, come here, call me Master."
Luo Yan silently moved a little further away from him, bowed and said in a dry tone, "Master."
"Good good!"
Gongsun Qian's otherwise handsome face broke into wrinkles from smiling again.
Liu Xingxing appeared outside the main hall in a flash. Chen Niansan, who had met her before, was so frightened by the newcomer that he stammered, "Qing... Qingqingjun Ancestor, you've returned from your travels?"
"Hmm, is Xiao Bai inside?"
Liu Xingxing is a seasoned veteran; with her back straight and hands behind her back, she immediately exudes the air of an elder.
"Yes, yes, the sect leader is inside. This disciple will take you there?" Chen Nian felt immense pressure.
"Ah."
Chen Niansan led Liu Xingxing to the back hall. Lü Yuanbai was still dealing with matters related to tomorrow's competition and did not notice that someone had arrived until a voice called "Xiao Bai" startled him. Surprised, he immediately came over and respectfully bowed deeply.
