Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

"Shut up....."

Shen Qiao was sitting cross-legged and concentrating, using his internal energy to check the meridians in his body. Listening to this man chattering endlessly, he couldn't help but throw away all the rules of etiquette and education, and growled with gritted teeth.

"Oh, your temper has become much worse." Wang You didn't get angry but laughed instead. Although he was still looking at Shen Qiao, he did not continue speaking.

About half an incense stick of time passed before Shen Qiao gathered the chaotic spiritual energy and exhaled.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar black sword lying across his legs.

It was the one she threw back in the ring earlier.

Strange, isn't this Wang You's sword? Why does it work so well with her?

"It's so sad."

This teasing tone diverted Shen Qiao's attention.

But I still can't see his face, and I don't know how ugly this person is.

Shen Qiao secretly criticized it, but to be honest, although this person acted frivolously, he actually helped her, so it was reasonable...

You still have to be polite for the sake of formality.

"Hey, don't tell me thank you or not." Wang You saw her stand up and spoke first as if he saw through her thoughts.

"I just want to ask you one question. Can you name the sword in your hand?"

name?

Shen Qiao frowned and looked at the sword back and forth in his hand.

Tsk, no matter how many times he looked at it, Shen Qiao had to admit that this was definitely a sword of excellent quality, but Shen Qiao could feel that the sword had not yet truly "woken up", and it was like a sleeping dragon, restraining its original sharpness.

But...what does this have to do with her?

"I don't understand what the Immortal Lord means." Shen Qiao told the truth and raised his hand to hand the sword back to Wang You.

No matter how good a sword is, once it is bound to its master, even if it falls into the hands of others, it can only play a basic role and cannot exert its full power.

This sword is like that.

After hearing this, Wang You's expression under the veil couldn't help but look a little gloomy.

Shen Qiao saw him take the sword and put it directly into his pocket. He was silent for a while. Just when she thought that her words had offended him, she heard Wang You laugh heartily, "It's okay, just forget it. We'll talk about it again when there's a chance."

After he finished speaking, Shen Qiao didn't know if it was his illusion, but the Immortal Lord Wangyou in front of him seemed to become serious all of a sudden.

"Before, you were unconscious, so I didn't have the chance to ask you something in person."

"Are you willing to become my disciple after the assessment and become my first disciple?"

Sure enough, what is supposed to come will always come.

Although this immortal king seemed to be a straightforward person, Shen Qiao was still somewhat wary of this new character.

There are too many suspicious points. It seems like this person is coming for him specifically. After experiencing what happened with Yun Zhi, Shen Qiao had to be on guard even for the sake of living a few more years.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Immortal Lord. However, Shen Qiao's realm is low, and I am still some distance away from being officially qualified to become your disciple. Therefore... I dare not easily disappoint you."

In fact, the eldest senior sister had said that the sect had relaxed its requirements for her. After all, for an ordinary person in the first stage of Shengqiao Realm to be able to fight against Zhu Yu in the middle stage of Wuyou Realm with the strength of an ordinary person in the first stage of Shengqiao Realm, such talent is indeed rare in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it only appears once in a thousand years. That is why she was allowed to choose a sword in the sword tomb that only inner disciples are qualified to enter.

But Shen Qiao knew clearly what her confidence came from. Without the memory of her past life, she was still that mediocre "little medicine jar".

She had followed Yun Zhi for more than ten years in her previous life and was deeply influenced by him. It would take time for her to get rid of Yun Zhi's shadow.

It won’t be too late to decide who to take as her master after she finds the cultivation method that suits her best.

Seeing her blunt refusal, Wang You was not that surprised. "Then let's put it aside for now. We'll talk about it when you decide to become my disciple."

"But let me make one thing clear first. As long as you want, there will always be a place for you here."

Seeing that he didn't force it, Shen Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and then smiled, "Shen Qiao understands, thank you, Immortal Lord."

After the episode ended, Wang You gave Shen Qiao some more instructions on cultivating his spiritual veins. He left after he had finished speaking. Before leaving, he also cleaned up the medicine garden that had just been disrupted.

This undoubtedly made Shen Qiao feel more favorable towards the mysterious Immortal Lord Wangyou.

"Junior Sister Shen." Zhu Yu, who had been acting as an "invisible man", finally walked out from the side.

I almost forgot about this.

Shen Qiao originally thought Zhu Yu was talking about sparring with her, but she saw this usually arrogant man actually bowed to her. "I was too reckless. Now that I've seen Junior Sister and the Immortal Lord fight, I realize how much I've neglected in my ignorance."

Shen Qiao smiled politely, thinking that if all were added up, she had lived at least twenty years longer than Zhu Yu. She could even recite all the sword manuals in the library backwards, so it was natural that Zhu Yu's swordsmanship was not as good as hers.

"So I decided to immerse myself in seclusion and make up for all the losses I've suffered over the years!"

"...Wait, I don't think that's necessary."

Shen Qiao tried to stop it.

Zhu Yu, however, seemed to be under a spell and could not hear what Shen Qiao had to say. His face was filled with excitement. "When I come out of seclusion, I will come to learn swordsmanship from you, Junior Sister!"

"Farewell!"

After saying that, Zhu Yu turned around and walked towards the library.

Shen Qiao stood there, wanting to say something but stopping himself. All his words turned into a sigh.

How old is this kid? If Yan Zun, the hot-tempered and practical man, knew that he was in seclusion studying, wouldn't he break his legs?

But since it was Zhu Yu who chose it himself, let’s wish him good luck.

Anyway...Yan Zun has the habit of giving people a break.

Closer to home.

Having gained a lot in the past half day, Shen Qiao also planned to go back early to stabilize his current feeling.

After solving the problem of blocked spiritual veins, her cultivation efficiency has at least doubled. If she continues like this, not to mention the early stage of Wangchen Realm, she might even be able to try to break through to the middle stage of Wangchen Realm!

Thinking about the plans for the last few days before entering the sword tomb, Shen Qiao picked up the bamboo basket containing the spirit insects on the ground, intending to go home after inspecting the last piece of land.

However, as soon as he looked up, he saw a male cultivator walking towards him from the other side of the field.

"I was wondering who was so slow, it turned out to be Junior Sister Shen."

Shen Qiao nodded slightly out of courtesy, "Hello, Senior Brother Li."

Li Jianshan approached, his eyes darting back and forth over Shen Qiao. Seeing that Shen Qiao showed no intention of hiding, he took a step forward, his tone clearly filled with ill intent, "What have you thought about what I told you last time?"

Shen Qiao blinked his eyes, looking innocent. "Brother, you're talking about the last time I accidentally caught you and Sister Wang in the woodshed..."

"That's not it." Li Jianshan interrupted impatiently when he saw that Shen Qiao didn't grasp the point.

"Don't play dumb. You're lucky that this young master has taken a liking to you. How far can you go with your inferior water spiritual roots? Practicing dual cultivation with me can at least ensure that you won't be at the bottom of the sect's annual assessment."
