A useless person with five spiritual roots? I sacrificed the proud daughter of heaven.

Sheng He stepped forward and helped Zhao Yanran up: "Miss Zhao, why would you think that way? In my heart, you have always been the kindest person. But this bracelet was given to you by your mother after all, and it is really too precious."

"How about this?" Sheng He said, taking out the hemp rope from his bundle and stuffing it into Zhao Yanran's hand. "My family is poor and we don't have anything good to give in return. This rope was hand-woven by my mother and has accompanied me all the way. Now I'm giving it to you as a token of my appreciation."

Zhao Yanran looked at the hemp rope in her hand, which still seemed to emit a foul stench, and couldn't help but twitch her lips. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on her, Zhao Yanran suppressed the urge to throw it away and forced a smile.

"This...this won't do, will it? After all, it was woven by your mother herself, and it must be something you cherish. How could I possibly..."

Before Zhao Yanran could finish speaking, Sheng He said with tears welling up in her eyes, "Does Miss Zhao think my family is too poor to offer anything of value? I know my family's circumstances cannot compare to Miss Zhao's. After all, this is just a broken hemp rope, how can it compare to a white jade bracelet?"

As Sheng He spoke, she covered her face and ran to the other side of the flying boat.

The remaining people looked at each other.

“I think that since we will all be fellow disciples in the future, and these items were all gifts from our mothers, there should be no distinction between them. Miss Zhao has gone a bit too far.”

"Yes, although my family is not as well-off as Miss Zhao's, I would not trade the amulet my mother gave me for anything, not even for ten thousand gold pieces."

Hearing the whispers of the crowd, Zhao Yanran's face turned green. Even the few people who had just spoken up for her now looked at her disapprovingly.

"System, system?"

Zhao Yanran kept calling out to the system in her heart, but the system seemed to have disappeared and there was no sound anymore.

The thought of losing her greatest support without the system made Zhao Yanran clench her fist in resentment. The system was right; the most urgent task was to quickly increase her favorability with the system to wake it up.

She endured it for the sake of these people's goodwill!

Zhao Yanran caught up with Sheng He and slipped the bracelet onto Sheng He's wrist: "Miss Sheng, how could I possibly look down on you? We'll all be fellow disciples from now on and should take care of each other. Please accept this bracelet."

"In that case, I won't refuse." Sheng He smiled and accepted the bracelet. Facing Zhao Yanran's murderous gaze, Sheng He carefully placed the hemp rope into her palm.

"Although this is just a piece of rope, it has extraordinary significance for me. I hope Miss Zhao will keep it safe."

"well."

Zhao Yanran forced a smile and stuffed the hemp rope into her arms.

the other side.

Tianyu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shenghe's fox-like eyes.

This little girl is quite interesting; she manages to outwit people without suffering any loss herself.

Although his spiritual root was a bit lacking, he didn't have any disciples yet, so he didn't care about that.

Besides, it would be fun to have this little girl in the yard, right?

Tianyu closed her eyes again, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

"Attention, fellow disciples, we're about to depart!"

Accompanied by several screams, the airship slowly rose into the air.

Most of the children who came to participate in the Qingyun Sect's selection of disciples were seven or eight years old. They had never seen such a scene before, and they all excitedly grabbed the gunwale and looked out.

"Look! It's clouds! It's clouds!"

As the flying boat passed through the clouds, many disciples exclaimed in surprise.

Sheng He leaned against the gunwale, leisurely watching the white clouds drift past her. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed such a peaceful moment.

In her past life, she spent almost all her time searching for rare and precious materials to refine her spiritual roots, but unfortunately, all of them ended up benefiting Zhao Yanran.

She had barely been reborn in this life, and before she even had a chance to properly say a few words to her mother, she was being hunted down by Zhao Yanran's men.

Thinking of her mother, Sheng He stroked the white jade bracelet on her wrist. This bracelet should be worth a lot of money, enough for her mother to live comfortably in the mortal world for a while.

Once she joins the Qingyun Sect, she can receive spirit stones every month, and a single low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a thousand gold pieces.

If I can really become Elder Tianyu's disciple, I can get more spirit stones every month, and then I can definitely let my mother live a good life.

A smile appeared on Sheng He's face, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Zhao Yanran being surrounded by a group of people chatting and laughing. Speaking of which, Zhao Yanran was still the same as in her previous life—extremely concerned with saving face and desperately trying to maintain her image in front of others.

Sheng He glanced at them briefly before looking away; they would settle their score eventually.

What's more important now is finding a master.

The airship gradually stabilized, and almost all the disciples were on the deck. Sheng He looked at the empty deck chair next to him, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he got up and walked into the airship.

This is a specially made flying boat of the Qingyun Sect. The flying boat has many individual rooms, and each room is equipped with a formation to gather spiritual energy. It is specially designed for disciples to cultivate while traveling.

However, apart from Sheng He, none of the new disciples on the flying boat have yet been able to draw in Qi, so the formation is no longer effective.

Sheng He focused his mind and used his spiritual power to probe the array fluctuations in the room, and quickly found Elder Tianyu's room.

......

"You want to become my apprentice?"

Tianyu was so shocked when she saw Shenghe in front of her that she almost fell off the stool.

Sheng He knelt respectfully on the ground, his back ramrod straight.

"Yes, I want to become your apprentice!"

Tianyu raised an eyebrow, quickly patted his robes, changed his posture, and leaned back on the stool in a relaxed manner, crossing his legs and waving a fan, looking every bit the playboy.

He did want to take Sheng He as his apprentice, but the feeling of wanting to take him on and having him come to him is completely different. For a moment, Tianyu even wondered if he was just too charming.

You know, even the sect leader personally goes to find good candidates every year and takes them on as disciples. He doesn't get the treatment I do.

Tianyu became more and more excited as she thought about it, her mouth practically stretching to her ears in a wide grin.

"Elder, Elder?"

Seeing Tianyu's worthless laughter, Shenghe couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. How could Tianyu, who was so unreliable, have taught such pure and innocent people as Senior Sister Junfu and Senior Sister Zelan?

"Cough cough."

Tianyu cleared his throat, his smugness barely concealed, yet he still feigned composure, saying, "New disciples are all taught by the elders of the Dao Inquiry Hall after entering the sect. Only after they have cultivated Qi can they formally become disciples. As for you..."

"Although you have already entered the Qi Refining stage and no longer need to draw Qi into your body, you still cannot break the sect's rules."

Tianyu sat up straight and snapped his fan shut: "Tell me, why do you want to become my disciple?"

Seeing Tianyu's expression that seemed to say, "Come on, praise me!", Sheng He was too embarrassed to say that it was because her spiritual root was too poor that no one else would be willing to take her in. So she could only lower her head and force herself to continue praising him.
