Stunningly beautiful young lady

She thought that having one master in her life would be enough, but after an adventure into an ancient tomb, she gained four more masters, which was an even more unexpected bonus.

She used to refuse Master Wen's offer because she thought it would be fine to find a master in the same place, but now her thinking has changed.

"Squeak..."

The master now has one, two, three, four... no, five masters.

Bai Ling squatted on a large rock, tilting her head and extending her little paws one by one.

Seeing that extending one paw wasn't enough, it stretched out the other paw, and this time it counted correctly.

"My count of Bai Ling is correct; I now have five masters."

Su Qing looked at Bai Ling with a smile and affectionately stroked its little head.

Her friends had all gone out, so these days she was either sent back to Phoenix Ring to play with the other friends, or she was kept outside to study and cultivate.

In fact, it spent most of its time guarding her outside and didn't go into the space, which touched Su Qing deeply.

"This little fox is quite a rare breed. It hasn't grown up yet, so we can't tell what its bloodline is, but it should be quite good."

Ma Mei has been observing this little guy for a long time, but he hasn't shown any signs of being human, though he is very perceptive.

"We don't know yet."

Su Qing had previously heard Xiao Sha say that Bai Ling might have the bloodline of a nine-tailed silver fox, but he wasn't sure, so no one knew for sure yet.

"It's our good fortune to have such a talented disciple as you. It seems that we've been waiting here for your arrival."

Ma Mei thought of a topic, stopped looking at Bai Ling, and looked at Su Qinglai with a smile. She liked this junior's personality very much.

Moreover, this disciple is extremely talented and has excellent comprehension. She memorized all the moves after only one demonstration and even thought about them more deeply.

Since she couldn't meet such a talented and interesting disciple while she was alive, she can still fulfill her wish to take on disciples after she dies, so there's nothing to regret.

"A long time has passed, and everything has changed, but we can't be sure if they're all dead or if they've forgotten our moves and techniques."

"Anyway, we have to be careful. Those people are trying every means to kill us. If that old geezer is still alive, who knows what powerful figure he is now."

Tanuki also took the matter lightly; whether or not to seek revenge was no longer the most important thing.

As long as their brilliance is not permanently erased, and someone continues to carry it forward, that's enough; otherwise, we've come to this world in vain.

And having finally found a disciple they truly love, they certainly want Su Qing to continue growing, so that they can know this in the afterlife.

The first three were also quite good, but their comprehension and other aspects were not as good as the last disciple they took in.

The other three didn't learn as much of his unique techniques; they only grasped about one or two tenths, and even the more talented Xiao Guzi only remembered three or four tenths.

Su Qing was exceptionally skilled; in such a short time, she not only memorized all the drawings, but also mastered seven or eight tenths of his unique techniques.

He didn't even have this kind of talent, so he was very satisfied with himself.

"The most obvious characteristic of those people is that they like to embroider a pink orchid on their collar. I don't know if they have changed over the years."

When Fifth Master Qu Dan said this, his teeth were clenched, but then he sighed deeply.

Anyway, it's all in the past, what's the point of thinking about it now? I'm not going to think about it anymore.

Moreover, he used to love orchids the most, and even grew orchids of all colors.

However, after being constantly hunted down by these people, his love for orchids was gradually worn away, and now he feels annoyed even at the mention of orchids.

"We're only telling you these things, so what you need to do now is keep them to yourself and not tell anyone else."

"When you are capable in the future, you can go and help your masters explore."

It was rare for Tanuki to have so much to say. Over the years, the combined words of these old fellows and the three disciples he had previously taken in did not amount to as much as this disciple had spoken.

"Yes, if your strength isn't up to par, you absolutely mustn't reveal that you're our disciple, otherwise that petty guy won't be a good person."

As the only female master among them, Ma Mei had more heart-to-heart talks with Su Qing.

“He’s no saint, and neither are the people under him, because the kind of people he raises will produce the kind of disciples he’s trained, so his sect won’t be any better.”

Qu Dan felt that what Sister Ma said made sense and agreed with her completely.

After all, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch, and this one is so big that you wouldn't even want to look at it, let alone eat it.

So much time has already passed, and they've all been waiting patiently; waiting a little longer won't hurt.

Moreover, this disciple's strength is far from sufficient at present, so we will not consider this for the time being.

If Su Qing can reach that level of strength in the future, it won't be too late to seek justice for the four of them.

"Yes, disciple understands," Su Qing replied with a smile.

The four masters had already given her many instructions, but they were still worried that she might forget them in a moment of passion, so they gave her the instructions again as well.

"You can go now, we won't keep you any longer."

Knowing that the ancient tomb was open for a limited time, Master Li Zi didn't want to waste his apprentice's precious time.

(His first master was Elder Diven, so he was the head master. The remaining masters were simply listed in order.)

"Goodbye, my masters."

Su Qing couldn't say anything sentimental, but suddenly felt a little empty inside.

She's someone who really dislikes farewells, and since this parting likely means they'll never have the chance to meet again, she's somewhat reluctant to let go.

Although she only spent an average of five days with each master, those five days were incredibly beneficial to her, and her strength increased significantly.

Because the insights she gained were so profound, the upgrade wasn't an increase in spiritual power, but rather an improvement in mental strength level, which was even more significant than an increase in spiritual power level.

The masters didn't say anything more, and let the last master to pass on the knowledge wave his hand. After that, Su Qing and Bai Ling disappeared from the four of them.
