Ying Huaixu was in a great mood, having obtained everything he wanted from this wave.
But then, he was dumbfounded again.
Because he saw Lü Qingyi.
Lü Qingyi was sitting atop her Divine Deer, staring wide-eyed at Ying Huaixu.
Realizing the situation, Ying Huaixu quickly bowed.
"Greetings, Senior Sister."
Lü Qingyi looked at the blood-soaked Ying Huaixu, her eyes somewhat dazed.
The disciples of the Shenxiao Sword Sect beside her were also staring at Ying Huaixu in shock.
Because the creatures in this place were almost equivalent to Body Tempering Stage 1 ghostly beings.
A mere mortal had come out alive.
And his Divine Sense had scanned Ying Huaixu.
This guy, not only was he uninjured, he wasn't even out of breath.
What kind of monster is this?
Lü Qingyi took a deep breath.
The surprises Ying Huaixu brought her were too many.
When she first heard from her Junior Brother that Ying Huaixu had ventured into the Minor Secret Realm alone, she was so angry she almost cut down that Junior Brother.
"Useless, you can't even keep an eye on one person."
Lü Qingyi had rushed over, even planning to personally tear apart the Ghost Domain to rescue Ying Huaixu.
Lü Qingyi had indeed arrived early, but upon arrival, she witnessed Ying Huaixu's utterly ridiculous maneuvers.
As a mortal, facing the Ghost Bride, he was not only unafraid but even had a hint of disdain deep in his eyes.
In fact, Ying Huaixu's subsequent performance did indeed justify that disdain.
Because the female ghost couldn't even touch Ying Huaixu, while he was suppressing her with ease.
As for Ying Huaixu's Dodge Counter and parry, Lü Qingyi had a perfect explanation.
Man and Sword as One!
His dodging displayed an extraordinary sense of agility.
Ying Huaixu's performance exceeded Lü Qingyi's understanding.
Inferior Spiritual Root, extraordinary agility, Man and Sword as One, the calm and leisurely demeanor during battle... it was almost mesmerizing!
Lü Qingyi couldn't help but mutter.
This boy has the potential of a great emperor!
But why does such a person's fate appear so ordinary? And in such a variety of ordinary ways!
Lü Qingyi didn't see anything special in Ye Ningshuang, but rather, Ying Huaixu gave her the feeling of being the so-called Chosen One.
After a long silence, Lü Qingyi finally asked, "Did you find the items?"
Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the
Ying Huaixu quickly handed over the quest items.
Looking at the Yin Soul Grass, Lü Qingyi nodded in satisfaction.
"This is your reward!"
With that, Lü Qingyi handed Ying Huaixu a Storage Bag.
Inside were 100 Spirit Stones and a gray bead.
Ying Huaixu was stunned.
"Ding, Chance Encounter Quest completed, reward: 5000 experience, Low-grade Storage Bag*1 (increases inventory slots by 20), 100 Spirit Stones, Wolf King Demon Soul*1."
Damn!
Ying Huaixu was shocked.
This really was a chance encounter.
The Yin Soul Grass, such a worthless item, could yield such benefits, it was almost like a gift!
This was entirely due to Senior Sister's care.
The most crucial part was the Wolf King Demon Soul, which he thought was lost, but Senior Sister handed it back to him.
Ying Huaixu was naturally ecstatic.
"Thank you for your generosity, Senior Sister."
Lü Qingyi felt much better.
At least she could feel that Ying Huaixu was genuinely grateful to her.
"Well, if it weren't for your own strength, this task would have been tantamount to risking your life."
With that, Lü Qingyi extended her hand, and the Spirit Weapon Ying Huaixu had just obtained flew over.
Lü Qingyi gently traced her finger along the blade, and wisps of black energy dissipated from it.
Not only that, the sword was enveloped in a glow, the rust completely faded, and it transformed into an ice-blue longsword.
Once everything was done, the sword automatically flew back into Ying Huaixu's hand.
"I've removed the Restrictions from it and refined it for you, consider it compensation."
Ying Huaixu was overjoyed once more.
This was too much; Senior Sister had given him so much.
This start was like a pay-to-win scenario.
What was once an ordinary Spirit Weapon had now become an Extreme-grade Spirit Weapon, even imbued with ice attributes.
This was truly Senior Sister's favor.
Just this Extreme-grade Spirit Weapon alone was enough for Ying Huaixu to use until the Qi Sea Realm.
This was a huge gain.
"Senior Sister, no need for more thanks. If there's anything you need me to do in the future, I won't refuse."
Lü Qingyi was very pleased.
"Good, good, the things I give you, you can hold onto without worry. The saying 'a man with a treasure is a target' doesn't apply in our Shenxiao Sword Sect. If anyone dares to target you, they know the consequences. Even outside, it doesn't matter; who dares to rob something from the Shenxiao Sword Sect, that would be fantastic!"
Ying Huaixu was momentarily stunned, then nodded.
"I understand, Senior Sister!"
"Even if I hadn't said it, with your innate arrogance, you would have done so anyway. Alright, everything here is settled, time to rest and return to the sect in the morning."
Ying Huaixu bowed again.
Lü Qingyi said no more, patting her Divine Deer.
The Divine Deer carried a celestial rainbow, flying off into the distance.
The disciples of the Shenxiao Sword Sect also bowed at this time.
"Junior Brother, what a fortuitous opportunity you have. When I first entered the Shenxiao Sword Sect, I didn't have such treatment."
Ying Huaixu quickly said, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister's favor."
The disciple shook his head with a smile.
"Though that's true, it's also because you, Junior Brother, are worthy of Senior Sister's favor."
With that, the disciple handed Ying Huaixu a token.
"This is my Communication Jade Token. Once you're in the sect, if there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me."
Ying Huaixu's eyes were filled with gratitude once more.
"Thank you, Senior Brother."
The disciple nodded, then also flew away on his sword.
Once everyone had left, Ying Huaixu happily headed back.
Because now, he had no worries, just waiting to enter the sect.
...
...
Lü Qingyi looked at the Yin Soul Grass in her hand, her eyes filled with confusion.
The Yin Soul Grass was indeed worthless.
Although it was useful for Ye Ningshuang, the sect had better ones.
Once Ye Ningshuang was in the sect, someone would naturally prepare for her.
But now, Lü Qingyi was confused because the feeling Ying Huaixu gave her was growing stronger, making her want to take him as her disciple personally.
But the problem was, the sect only allowed her to take Ye Ningshuang, and unless something unexpected happened, Ying Huaixu would at most be in the Outer Sect.
The Grandmaster's words wouldn't be wrong, but she also believed her own feelings wouldn't be wrong.
After some thought, Lü Qingyi picked up the Communication Token and contacted her Eighth Senior Sister.
"Oh, Junior Sister, why are you contacting me at this time? I haven't caused any trouble recently!"
Lü Qingyi: "..."
"Whether you've caused trouble, you'll know when you return to the sect. But I'm contacting you today for another matter."
The so-called Eighth Senior Sister immediately relaxed upon hearing it wasn't to hold her accountable.
"What is it? Just tell me, Junior Sister. As long as you say it, Senior Sister won't refuse."
After a long hesitation, Lü Qingyi finally asked, "Eighth Senior Sister, do you want a disciple?"
Eighth Senior Sister: "???"
