Chapter 129: Chapter 127: Liu Zixiao’s Promise
The people in the market thought they might be seeing things.
That was the Inner Sect Steward of the Cyan Mountain Sect, how could he be treating a junior cultivator with mere Qi Refining level so courteously?!
For those in Lin Xian City, being able to exchange even a word with this steward was already an extraordinary feat.
"Master’s wife, your disciple will be back soon."
Qin Yu turned back and said to Yin Qinghe, then walked with the steward towards the City Lord’s Mansion.
Only when their figures vanished at the street corner did the market erupt into a bustle.
Some seemed to realize something and walked to the Danxin Herb Hall to chat with Yin Qinghe, their words full of flattery.
However, Yin Qinghe merely gave them a light glance, then turned around and walked into the shop.
She had long seen through these people; when Danxin Herb Hall was in trouble, not a single one offered a helping hand.
Not that she blamed them.
The world is like that.
When you’re in trouble, just not stepping on you and ripping off pieces of flesh is already quite good.
However, now that she’s about to leave Lin Xian City, Yin Qinghe couldn’t be bothered to put on a facade with them.
There’s really no need for that.
The news spread quickly, and cultivators were all discussing it, mainly talking about Qin Yu’s situation.
After all, Yin Qinghe went to the City Lord’s Mansion twice and took Qin Yu with her both times, and from how Qin Yu addressed her just now, it proved his identity.
Seeing this situation, it seems the Cyan Mountain Sect has taken a liking to him.
And it seems he’s not just any ordinary person, otherwise, why would they have an Inner Sect Steward invite him?!
The Cheng Family is probably in for some trouble!
...
Qin Yu followed the steward all the way to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Liu Zixiao was already waiting.
"Elder Liu, I have brought Qin Yu!"
The steward entered and reported respectfully.
"You may leave now."
Having said that, Liu Zixiao stood up and carefully observed the man in front of her.
In terms of looks, he indeed made people feel a sense of freshness, though the spiritual power fluctuation from him was only around the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, which made her frown slightly.
Isn’t this realm a bit too low?
However, seemingly perceiving something, her expression returned to normal.
It’s alright, at least he has a Spirit Bone!
If it were only a Mortal Bone, no matter how high his spiritual power talent, his future achievements would be limited.
Still, Liu Zixiao couldn’t help but be puzzled.
This person has a Spirit Bone, why would he reside outside the city for more than twenty years?!
While assessing Qin Yu, he also instinctively glanced at Elder Liu.
She was wearing a deep azure tight-fitting dress, perfectly outlining her graceful and curvaceous silhouette, every inch exuding endless charm. As her hem fluttered lightly, a section of her snow-white, slender leg was faintly visible, as dazzling as the first snow, sparking imagination and igniting a simmering urge within.
A delicate belt was lightly tied around her waist, not only cleverly accentuating her slender willow-like waist but also adding a touch of softness and grace, showcasing her elegant figure vividly.
She was tall, her figure as light and graceful as a willow, each step revealing an indescribable elegance and composure.
A woman of much charm, alluring but not vulgar, beautiful but not common, like that... dreamlike aunt.
With just a glance, Qin Yu immediately lowered his head, respectfully greeting, "Qin Yu greets Elder Liu!"
He adopted a very humble posture.
Because after seeing Liu Zixiao at the Talent Recognition Banquet, he knew she was a Golden Core Great Cultivator, someone who could make him die a hundred times with just a flick of her finger.
If he didn’t act a bit tentative, it could be a matter of life or death.
Liu Zixiao did not respond but circled around him once.
Qin Yu could clearly feel a powerful perception settling on him, as if trying to pierce through all his secrets.
However, there was no malice.
"Bone age thirty, indeed young."
Liu Zixiao spoke, but then immediately felt a bit disappointed: "It’s a pity his root bone is a bit low, otherwise..."
"I’ve heard your spiritual power has reached the high tier of entry level?!"
"Yes!"
Qin Yu didn’t hesitate and directly released his spiritual power, intertwining and gathering it for display.
In an instant, the slight disappointment on Liu Zixiao’s face was replaced by sudden joy.
"Indeed it is high tier entry spiritual power, and only thirty, given time, he will surely make a mark..."
Found a treasure, really found a treasure!
So young, yet with such strong spiritual power, his talent in spiritual power is beyond doubt.
At this moment, Liu Zixiao was faintly excited.
Originally, when Su Xiyue mentioned it, she still held a skeptical attitude.
How could someone with such talent remain hidden in a market, unknown?!
Exactly!
Unknown.
Liu Zixiao even called upon former City Lord’s Mansion people and even had them investigate a bit.
Confirmed, Qin Yu was merely a newly accepted disciple of the Danxin Herb Hall.
However, now everything Su Xiyue said was confirmed!
It turned out their own Saintess really found an unpolished gem!
With such bone age, such talent, if cultivated with full support from the Immortal Sect, his achievements will definitely not be beneath that first alchemist!
It’s just a matter of time.
And the cost that needs to be paid!
After all, his root bone was a bit low, and attempting to break through to the Golden Core, the resources consumed... can only be described as enormous.
Liu Zixiao didn’t consider those for now, looking at Qin Yu with a serious and sincere expression, she slowly spoke, "Qin Yu, would you be willing to join my Cyan Mountain Sect?"
"I, Liu Zixiao, promise that upon your entry, you will enjoy all the benefits of a Core Disciple of the Inner Sect, and in the future, when your cultivation improves and you break through the Foundation Establishment Realm, you will have the opportunity to gain the honor of a Guest Minister, sharing glory and prestige with our Cyan Mountain Sect!"
"Elder Liu’s kindness, Qin Yu naturally cannot resist, and is willing to join the Cyan Mountain Sect."
Qin Yu was waiting for this sentence, so he naturally agreed immediately.
Before the words finished, Qin Yu seemed to remember something, a hint of hesitation crossed his face, and he asked with some difficulty, "Elder Liu, there are family members in Qin Yu’s household, could they go as well?"
Although Su Xiyue agreed, but her status is as it is, can’t let her speak.
Moreover, he couldn’t really explain his relationship with Su Xiyue.
If the people of the Cyan Mountain Sect truly knew the things he had done, I’m afraid... it wouldn’t be this courteous treatment.
"Certainly."
Liu Zixiao’s expression shifted slightly, but she agreed without hesitation.
Just a few family members, with the talent Qin Yu displayed now, ordinary sect disciples are naturally not comparable to him.
Plus, from such subtleties, one can even discern a bit of Qin Yu’s character.
Entering an Immortal Sect but not abandoning one’s first partner shows he is a man of deep emotion and righteousness. This mindset is indeed most precious.
Imagine, if in the future Qin Yu grows to become a High Tier Alchemist but behaves like those petty who betrayed the sect, wouldn’t that be a waste of effort?!
Thinking of this, Liu Zixiao became more fond of Qin Yu.
What she should consider now is how to make Qin Yu wholeheartedly stay in the Cyan Mountain Sect.
