Chapter 155 [Extra] Descendants of Qi Guan

This was Qi Guan Jingyi’s first time going out alone, and her grandfather said that this was an opportunity for experience, and that she had to find a way to solve any problems she encountered on the road on her own.

Therefore, Qi Guan Jingyi was a little nervous. She had been extremely cautious since she came out of Liangzhou City. The slightest movement around her would scare her.

This time she went out, she was going to Lingshan to send an invitation to the Second Master, inviting him to come down the mountain to attend Grandpa’s 400th birthday.

This Second Grandpa was a very friendly old man, but Qi Guan Jingyi had only met him once. From his grandfather’s words, the Second Grandpa had been staying in Lingshan many, many years ago and had not come down the mountain for many years.

When the great grandfather passed away, the grandfather achieved enlightenment, the father got married and had children, and Qi Guan Jingyi’s coming-of-age ceremony, he only wrote a letter and never showed up. The family members seemed to have a tacit understanding and rarely disturbed the second great grandfather.

However, this time, Grandpa felt that his time was approaching and he wanted to see his only elder before he died, so he asked Qi Guan Jingyi to go to Lingshan to deliver the invitation on the pretext of his birthday.

In order to avoid possible dangers on the road, Qi Guan Jingyi originally wanted to fly all the way to Lingshan, but she overestimated her own cultivation level. After flying for a day and a night, she could not hold on any longer and finally had to land in a village on the mountainside.

Who would have thought that this was actually a deserted village. Not only was it overgrown with weeds, but the ruins also all showed signs of being burned by fire, and there was a faint, disturbing smell of rust in the air.

Qi Guan Jingyi was aware of his status as a cultivator, so even though he was a little scared, he still concealed his breath and carefully explored this deserted village.

“Who are you?”

Qi Guan Jingyi was startled by the sudden voice. She looked around frantically holding her Five Elements Plate, but she didn’t see anyone. She was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Just hearing the sound of wind passing behind her, Qi Guan Jingyi turned around in shock and saw a black-clothed, black-haired young man standing behind her. He looked her up and down and asked again, “Who are you?”

The young man was extremely handsome, with red lips, white teeth, narrow eyes, black pupils as bright as gemstones, and long, round eyes. With his long hair tied up in a high ponytail, one could tell at a glance that he was a lively person.

In his hand, he was holding a bucket of water that he had drawn from somewhere. The water was rippling and, under the morning light, it cast a shadow on the boy’s cheek.

After confirming that he saw a living person, Qi Guan Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, put away the magic weapon, and bowed, saying: “I was passing by here, and saw that this place was ominous, so I wanted to find out more. I had no intention of intruding on your residence.”

The young man tilted his head and looked at her for a long while, then turned and walked deeper into the village, saying, “This is not my place, I’m just here to water the plants.”

“Ah?” Came to this deserted village to water the plants? Qi Guan Jingyi felt a little puzzled, but followed unconsciously.

Qi Guan Jingyi followed the young man all the way to a corner of the village, and suddenly her eyes lit up –

I didn’t expect that there would be such a quiet place in the village after it was burned by a fire!

Although the house was dilapidated, there was not a single spider silk hanging on it. It was obvious that someone came to clean it regularly. Not far from the house, there was a field of not too big, one acre in size, covered with weeds that were one meter tall, but very neat.

The young man was still watering the fields with a bucket of water.

Qi Guan Jingyi wanted to say something but stopped herself. After holding back for a long time, she couldn’t help but whispered, “This, this is a weed, right?”

The boy said without even turning his head: “Yeah. Can’t weeds be watered?”

“…”It seems that there is no problem…

Next, Qi Guan Jingyi quietly waited for the young man to finish watering the weeds. Seeing him squatting on the edge of the field fiddling with the grass leaves, he asked again, “I saw that you walked lightly and breathed slowly just now. Are you also a cultivator?”

The young man raised his eyebrows and nodded: “I guess so. Why?”

Qi Guan Jingyi happily took two steps forward: “I am also a cultivator, who is your master?” The young man looked back at her and said with a smile: “I don’t have a master.”

“Self-taught?” Qi Guan Jingyi was surprised and impressed. As he spoke, he unconsciously walked closer to the young man. Finally, he simply squatted beside the young man and said, “It is impossible to seek immortality by self-taught. You don’t have any way? How about I introduce you to one? Have you heard of Lingshan?”

“Oh.” The young man responded with a long ending: “Lingshan, it’s very famous, how could I not have heard of it.” There was a barely detectable contempt in his tone.

Qi Guan Jingyi smiled and said, “I am going to Lingshan this time. My family has some connection with Lingshan. Although you are not old enough, I may be able to introduce you to become a disciple of Lingshan. Are you willing?”

“A disciple of the mountain sect?” The young man looked at her with a strange smile. “Who are your family members? How can they be related to Lingshan? Besides, are you lost? This place is in the opposite direction of Lingshan.”

“Ah?” Qi Guan Jingyi looked around blankly: “Is it the opposite direction?” Then he said embarrassedly: “Actually, this is my first time going out alone, so I don’t know the way…”

The young man was amused: “Didn’t you say that your family has a connection with Lingshan? How could you not know the way to Lingshan?”

Qi Guan Jingyi explained: “Although I don’t know the way, our Qi Guan family does have a deep connection with Lingshan.”

The young man’s smile froze, and he blurted out, “You are the Qi official?”

Seeing his reaction, Qi Guan Jingyi nodded hesitantly and suspiciously: “Yes…right.”

The young man was silent for a moment, then he stood up on his knees and brushed the dust off his hands: “Your family has an opportunity, just take care of yourselves.”

Qi Guan Jingyi was also stunned. She had also heard her grandfather say this.

When she was a child, she asked her grandfather, since the Qi family has been practicing Taoism for generations and has their own set of skills passed down, why not establish a new sect.

Grandpa said that Qi Guanjia would have his own opportunities and just had to take care of himself.

While Qi Guan Jingyi was lost in thought, the young man had already jumped onto a tall tree and seemed to be leaving without even saying goodbye.

Qi Guan Jingyi quickly stood up and took two steps after him: “My name is Qi Guan Jingyi, what’s your name? If we meet again in the future, how should I call you?”

For some reason, the young man’s face suddenly turned a little bad, even a little gloomy, when he heard this question.

“I don’t have a name,” he said.

“what?”

The boy looked at the rolling hills in the distance and said unwillingly, “My parents won’t let me have a name.”

Qi Guan Jingyi, who had been pampered since childhood, could not imagine what kind of parents would not even let their child have a name. She was filled with sympathy and said earnestly: “You…why don’t you come with me to Lingshan? The five major immortal gates in Lingshan are all places where cultivators dream of practicing.”

“Five great ones?” The young man sneered without hiding his contempt, then looked down at Qi Guan Jingyi under the tree and said, “Go east, Lingshan is in that direction.”

“You really don’t want to join Lingshan?”

The young man smiled and said, “Lingshan is not worthy of accepting me as a disciple.”
