Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Zhong Lingxin chuckled inwardly. This was truly a brilliant way to win people's hearts, and it was perfect for dealing with these children.

The leaf-shaped magical artifact came to a stop in a city square.

Zhong Lingxin and all the children walked down from the tree, thinking it was time to go to the residential shop for a snack, just like usual.

After all, the more than one hundred children sitting on the leaves of these trees are still living in the mortal world and need to eat and sleep.

But they soon discovered that this was not the case.

The Qingyun Sect disciple in charge of the recruitment, known as Senior Brother Liao, spoke respectfully to someone who came to greet them, and then led them all to a very large mansion.

A lively child, whose name Zhong Lingxin remembered was Qin Hu, innocently asked the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, "Senior brothers, aren't we staying at the inn tonight?"

A female disciple of the Qingyun Sect named Gu Yan said with an envious tone, "No, we'll stay at the Qu family's house tonight and bring the second young lady of the Qu family to the sect."

Seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of the children, Gu Yan said smugly, "Jingkun City, which we've come to now, is a cultivation city under the Lingyun Sect, a first-class sect. The largest family in the city is the Qu family, which we've just entered. The second young lady of the Qu family admires the Soft Cloud Sword Technique of our sect's Flying Cloud Peak Master, so she specially obtained approval from the Lingyun Sect to enter our Qingyun Sect for cultivation. It's said that this second young lady of the Qu family has a mutated wind spirit root, a genius among geniuses."

Another female disciple of the Qingyun Sect named Yun Feiyu was more composed than Gu Yan. However, she also said with pride, "Although our Qingyun Sect is only a second-level sect, under the hard work and management of the sect leader and his wife, our strength has developed rapidly in recent years. Even disciples from first-level sects have taken the initiative to come to our Qingyun Sect to cultivate. So you must all cultivate diligently and not bring shame to the sect."

All the children were excited and their eyes were shining.

Along the way, they had been listening to several senior brothers and sisters from the Qingyun Sect discuss matters of the cultivation world, and had long since gained a vague understanding of it.

Now, people from a first-level sect are actually willing to join their second-level sect!

Is it possible that their Qingyun Sect is even more powerful than a first-level sect?

Zhong Lingxin had already heard her father talk about the Qingyun Sect, and along the way, several Qingyun Sect disciples kept mentioning what her mother had said.

She agreed with her father's words.

If the sect leader's wife is truly capable, she can become the sect leader herself.

There's no need to issue orders under the guise of the sect leader.

Now, it's really suspicious that the second young lady of the Qu family would choose to join a second-level sect instead of a proper first-level sect.

Think of yourself as someone who is qualified to enter the Qingyun Sect but has not yet passed the final assessment of the Qingyun Sect.

This is none of her business.

The next morning, several Qingyun Sect disciples, like stars surrounding the moon, accompanied a five- or six-year-old girl dressed in red, with a calm face but somewhat anxious eyes, as she came out.

Just as Senior Brother Liao took out his leaf-shaped flying artifact, the little girl spoke up: "Senior Brother Liao, this journey has been too long, and you've gone through such a big detour. I already feel bad about it. Let's take a flying boat instead. My mother gave me a flying boat, and we, a hundred or so children, can squeeze in."

Senior Brother Liao paused for a moment, then immediately said obsequiously, "It's all thanks to Miss Qu's generosity. We'll take advantage of that and ride in Miss Qu's flying boat."

Qu Xin's eyes swept over the faces of the children, and she smiled and said, "Senior Brother Liao, you're too kind. You can just call me Junior Sister or Xin'er from now on."

After saying that, Qu Xin beckoned to a middle-aged cultivator: "Uncle Jiang, you drive the boat. My mother is worried that I am too young. Although she gave me a flying boat, she is always afraid that I will not be able to drive it well."

The middle-aged cultivator, known as Uncle Jiang, took the flying boat from Qu Xin's hands and landed steadily on the ground.

The airship magnified before everyone's eyes.

Qu Xin stood beside the flying boat's ladder and said to everyone, "My name is Qu Xin. You can call me Junior Sister Qu or Xin'er, I'm younger than all of you. Now, please all board the boat."

After she finished speaking, she gestured for them to proceed.

Senior Brother Liao was the first to board the flying boat.

Judging from the way he boarded the boat, Zhong Lingxin guessed that it might be his first time riding in a flying boat.

Once all the children had boarded the flying boat, Qu Xin declined the invitation from Senior Brother Liao and the others to sit with the Qingyun Sect disciples in the front hall, insisting instead on sitting with all the children in the back.

This move naturally earned praise from Senior Brother Liao and others.

Senior Brother Liao personally escorted Qu Xin to the children and instructed them not to bully Qu Xin and to always be courteous to her.

The more than one hundred children were stunned by Qu Xin's brilliance, and none of them dared to be anything less than courteous to her.

They all nodded vigorously in agreement.

Qu Xin smiled with satisfaction.

What she wants is to be in control.

Soon, she said with a smile, "Let's all introduce ourselves, one by one. My name is Qu Xin, I come from the Qu family in Jingkun City, and I am six years old."

A little girl sitting next to Qu Xin said timidly, "My name is Qin Feng'er. I come from... from the Qin family in Qin Family Village outside Pingchuan City. I am ten years old."

Zhong Lingxin sensed a hint of disappointment in Qu Xin's eyes.

However, Qu Xin quickly looked at a little girl next to Qin Feng'er with a bright smile. This little girl was a bit more lively. She said loudly, "My name is Mei Hanxiang. I come from the Mei family in Pingchuan City. I am nine years old this year."

Zhong Lingxin saw a hint of disappointment in Qu Xin's eyes once again.

Next came the self-introductions of several boys.

Qu Xin was clearly distracted. Her eyes searched through the crowd and finally settled on Zhong Lingxin.

Zhong Lingxin became secretly wary, as she could clearly sense Qu Xin's malice.

This is strange!

She believes that none of her Zhong family members have ever had contact with Qu Xin.

Where did Qu Xin get this malice from?

Also, Qu Xin didn't know her.

Judging from the fact that she immediately squeezed between two girls of similar age, she seemed to be looking for a girl around nine or ten years old.

Of the more than one hundred people recruited this time, there were only about thirty girls, and even fewer girls aged nine or ten, only three.

Zhong Lingxin had a feeling that Qu Xin might be after her.

Zhong Lingxin pondered for a moment. The experience of losing her parents at a young age had made her cautious and timid.

Since she transmigrated, she has never told anyone that she was a transmigrator, nor has she shown any abnormality in front of anyone.

Why is Qu Xin looking for her?

They were also full of malice towards her!

Soon, it was Zhong Muyun's turn to introduce himself.

I heard the surname "Zhong".

Zhong Lingxin saw Qu Xin's eyes suddenly light up, and at the same time, Qu Xin's eyes looked at Zhong Lingxin with fervor and greed.
