774 Chu Yu
On this day, the five-year-old Qi Le carried the heavenly spirit cat and rode on the White Tiger as he rushed out of the courtyard.
He passed through the forest and arrived at the medicinal garden.
He stopped in front of a flower that was as clear as jade.
“Little Yu’er, I’ve come to see you again,” Qi Le stroked the flower and said.
!!
This was the spiritual herb that Chu Xuan had enlightened.
Ever since Qi Le discovered it, he had become somewhat infatuated with it, sometimes squatting in front of it and talking to it as if it were a playmate.
Chu Xuan did not mind.
Qi Le was young, and was the only child in the valley. Normally, he would either play with the heavenly spirit cat or ride the White Tiger around the valley.
Talking to the spiritual herb was also an outlet for any of his concerns or frustrations.
This time, the flower’s petals actually trembled slightly, as if it was responding to Qi Le’s words, which made him even happier.
Time passed by quickly, and Qi Le was ten years old.
Chu Xuan began to teach him how to cultivate.
Ever since he started cultivating, Qi Le stopped playing and focused on cultivating. To no one’s surprise, he chose to cultivate next to the spiritual herb, and would also talk to it daily.
The spiritual herb had already gained sentience, and as a result avoided the fate of being turned into a dish. It had Qi Le to thank for this.
As Qi Le was cultivating, he suddenly felt some special fluctuations.
He opened his eyes and saw that the spiritual herb was emitting a faint brilliance, hazy yet beautiful.
Chu Xuan’s figure appeared.
The spiritual herb was actually starting to take form.
“Master!”
Qi Le hurriedly bowed.
Chu Xuan nodded and continued to observe the spiritual herb.
“Master, what is going on?” Qi Le asked nervously.
“The spiritual herb is taking form. You’ll have a real companion in the future.”
Qi Le was overjoyed, and his face was filled with anticipation.
Su Xian’er, Chunlan, and Lie Tian had also arrived.
The spiritual herb emitted a dense brilliance that fully enveloped itself, and when the light faded…
A little girl who was fair and delicate, garbed in a white dress, appeared where the spiritual herb had once been.
Su Xian’er’s eyes brightened.
“So cute…”
The little girl bowed to Chu Xuan and said, “”Greetings, Father…”
“It’s Master,” Chu Xuan corrected her.
“Greetings, Master!”
“You’ll be called Chu Yu then.”
“Thank you for the name, Master!”
Chu Yu looked like she was five or six years old and was fair and delicate.
Her eyes were bright, and she had a spiritual aura around her.
Su Xian’er stepped forward and held Chu Yu’s small hand. She was all smiles as she said, “You call me sister.”
“Big sister.”
Qi Le looked at Chu Yu with her eyes wide open. His face was flushed red, and he looked both excited and shocked.
“Brother Qi Le!”
Chu Yu looked at Qi Le and smiled sweetly.
“Hehe…”
Qi Le laughed foolishly.
“A golden boy and jade girl… A match made in heaven.”
Chunlan sighed.
Chu Yu was only five or six years old, but thanks to her origins as a spiritual herb that was nurtured by Chu Xuan, her talent was extraordinary. Chu Xuan had taught her cultivation methods not long after she transformed.
Chu Yu and Qi Le were together all day long.
They cultivated and played together, enjoying the joys of childhood.
Time flew by, and a hundred years passed.
Qi Le still looked like he was 16 or 17 years old.
A hundred years as a cultivator was nothing.
Chu Yu was the same.
After growing up, Qi Le had become calm and steady, and he was still very diligent in his cultivation.
Chu Yu, who had the appearance of a beautiful young girl, stood tall and slender.
...
All day long, she would either hang around Su Xian’er and Chunlan, or accompany Qi Le in his cultivation.
Chu Xuan continued to live his ordinary life.
Lie Tian continued his secluded cultivation, while Chunlan was accumulating her strength and solidifying her cultivation foundation in preparation to break through to the Dao Supreme realm.
Qi Le and Chu Yu were preparing to open their own Dao paths.
As a transformed spiritual herb nurtured by Chu Xuan, she was born with her own Dao, which meant that opening a Dao path was simply a formality.
Both of them could be considered peerless geniuses.
Qi Le was extremely hardworking in her cultivation, and aside from the techniques Chu Xuan taught him, he often visited the Scripture Pavilion to read the booklets within.
He would ask Lie Tian and Chunlan for some special secret techniques, as well as learn from them about the Heavenly Sun World.
Everyone obliged, knowing that Qi Le was making preparations in his own way to take revenge for his mother.
He wanted to prove to the person who had abandoned him that he was not a good-for-nothing!
He wanted to make those people regret their actions and suffer the consequences!
...
Even the simple-minded, innocent, and lively Chu Yu was aware of the pent-up anger in Qi Le’s heart.
Before she had gained sentience, she had been listening to Qi Le’s confessions about this matter.
Soon enough, he reached the Saint Dao realm, and could no longer be considered weak.
Furthermore, as a peerless genius, it seemed that Qi Le was destined to participate in the competition between geniuses that was taking place in the Heavenly Sun World at this moment.
After breaking through, he wanted to set out and take revenge.
Chu Xuan naturally knew what he was thinking.
However, the Li family was not a small family in the Heavenly Sun World, and had a Transcendent Dao realm expert. There were also rumors of even stronger experts among their ranks.
Although the Heavenly Sun World had set rules to prevent geniuses from being targeted and hunted down by others, could it really be completely avoided?
This was especially worrisome in Qi Le’s case, who was obviously a threat to the Li family.
If a genius without a backer was secretly killed, no one would know, right?
After all, there were only a certain number of law enforcers, and most of them were focused on protecting the geniuses who had already risen to fame.
