Chapter 347: The Identity of Xiaomei, the Arranged Match
Chapter 347: The Identity of Xiaomei, the Arranged Match
Xie Tang's gaze suddenly landed on a pair of young teenagers.
Her eyes gleamed with excitement.
After all, the Xuan Tian Sect had been in decline for far too long.
Even in the Fire Spirit Realm, they couldn't recruit many promising talents.
So, they had placed their hopes on this new world.
The discovery of Wang Zhiqi was an unexpected delight.
Now, seeing two individuals with even greater talent than Wang Zhiqi, how could she not be thrilled?
Especially since these two were in Tianyue City.
Tianyue City was the birthplace of the Xuan Tian Sect's disciples!
"Principal, are you talking about those two?" Wang Zhiqi's eyes lit up with surprise, "What a coincidence! I know them; they're refugees brought back by Senior Qi Yuan from the Wu Gui Kingdom!"
"Oh, who's Qi Yuan?" Xie Tang casually asked, her eyes never leaving the two.
"He's my neighbor, my dad's good friend, and the owner of that famous cat online. He's... incredibly handsome! Last time my best friend saw him, she even talked about confessing to him! But haha, the last time Senior Qi Yuan returned, he married an extremely beautiful wife, and my best friend was heartbroken!"
Wang Zhiqi spoke with animated gestures.
Her best friend was a hopeless romantic.
In junior high, she liked a street punk who drove a tricked-out car; in high school, she liked her biology teacher.
Chances were, in college, she'd fall for her military training instructor.
"Oh, is that so? He's quite lucky to have found these two talented individuals!" Xie Tang wasn't interested in Qi Yuan; the only thing she cared about was the two exceptionally gifted ordinary people.
However, not long after, her expression changed slightly.
"A member of the Battle Deity Sect, huh? Freedom Wanderer!"
She suddenly noticed a person she detested standing next to the young couple—Jiang Qingjiao of the Battle Deity Sect.
The other was a renowned solitary cultivator, Freedom Wanderer.
This solitary cultivator was incredibly powerful and was a Divine Infant Monster.
At that moment, Freedom Wanderer displayed a spell, and a small bird appeared in his hand out of thin air. The bird held a flower in its beak and looked rather adorable.
"Hmph, why is a friend of the Battle Deity Sect here in Tianyue City?"
After observing for a while, Xie Tang directly led Wang Zhiqi away.
She turned to Jiang Qingjiao, her expression stern and her tone displeased.
Jiang Qingjiao noticed Xie Tang, and his eyes widened in surprise, then he became calm, "So it's the Turtle Star Second Immortal Maiden from the Xuan Tian Sect.
Senior Freedom Wanderer met these two and wanted to take them as disciples, so I came to take a look.
Oh, as for Tianyue... since my junior sister defeated your junior brother, why can't I come to Tianyue?"
Jiang Qingjiao's words were filled with aggression.
Sure enough, upon hearing Jiang Qingjiao's words, Xie Tang was furious, "Our Xuan Tian Sect didn't lose to Tianyue!"
Jiang Qingjiao's smile intensified, "Since Star Immortal Maiden is here, why don't we have a friendly competition today? Who knows... Tianyue might just fall into the hands of our Battle Deity Sect!"
Hearing this, Xie Tang's face turned ashen.
Jiang Qingjiao was the Battle Deity Sect's young master and the strongest of the younger generation.
Compared to Jiang Qingjiao, Xie Tang was far inferior.
In the Xuan Tian Sect, only her senior sister, Xie Xinsu, could suppress Jiang Qingjiao.
After her senior sister's disappearance, the Xuan Tian Sect's younger generation had a significant gap, naturally making it difficult to compete with the Battle Deity Sect.
Therefore, if Xie Tang were to impulsively engage in a battle with Jiang Qingjiao, it would be a self-inflicted humiliation.
So, facing this humiliation, she could only grit her teeth and endure it.
Seeing this, Jiang Qingjiao's eyes sparkled with amusement, "If Senior Freedom Wanderer loses interest and doesn't want to take them as disciples, then it's our Battle Deity Sect's turn.
Unless we don't want them, you'll have a chance to continue."
Jiang Qingjiao was full of confidence and arrogance, as if he had already won against Xie Tang.
Xie Tang was speechless and felt the urge to strike out.
However, she understood that Jiang Qingjiao was intentionally provoking her.
Even if she lost, it would only be a minor embarrassment, but if she were to drag the sect into losing its birthplace, that was something she couldn't accept.
At this moment, Ajie, who had been silent all along, held his sister's hand and looked at Jiang Qingjiao, his tone resolute, "I've said it before, I won't take him as my master, nor will I join any Battle Deity Sect.
Don't waste your time on me; it's not worth it."
Jiang Qingjiao was slightly taken aback, not expecting a mortal to speak to him like this.
Discontent rose within him.
However, he concealed it well, "Joining us will bring you benefits beyond your imagination.
Power, wealth, and beauty—everything you desire will be within your grasp."
"I don't need those things. My life was saved by the young master, and I belong to him!" Ajie's voice was firm.
Even without mentioning the young master's kindness, just his strength alone was far beyond what these spellcasters could compare to.
The Master said he wanted his blood.
And so, his blood shall flow for the Master.
"Little one, if you take me as your master, you can better repay your master's kindness," said the Freedom Wanderer, his expression gentle. "However, in life, one should live for oneself. Freedom and ease are the most important."
"Yes, your master saved your life, and the debt is as heavy as a mountain," he acknowledged.
"But if you follow me and become my disciple, it won't take long—a few decades perhaps—to repay him with a mountain of gold. What's the difficulty in that?"
A Ji still shook his head resolutely.
Without Qi Yuan's consent, not even the Heavenly King himself could make it happen.
Seeing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across the Freedom Wanderer's eyes.
His patience had run thin, and he found A Ji's unwavering loyalty somewhat displeasing, not in line with his grand path.
"What a pity, it seems that you and I..." the Freedom Wanderer sighed, "are truly fated but not destined."
Jiang Qingjiao witnessed this scene, feeling delighted.
It seemed that in just a few days, the Freedom Wanderer would completely extinguish any thoughts of taking on a disciple.
At that time, these two... wouldn't they obediently bow and enter the Battle Deity Sect as disciples?
He certainly wouldn't be as gentle as the Freedom Wanderer.
Moreover, if the Battle Deity Sect couldn't have them, then... no other sect would either.
White clouds rolled, a light drizzle fell, and spring's beauty knew no bounds.
Qi Yuan savored the girl's lips, occasionally parting the waterfall of blue-black hair that cascaded over her chest, leaning in closer. Each time, the Golden Canary, pretending to be Ning Tao, struggled to resist, sitting atop Qi Yuan, seeming to want to push him away yet also wanting to hold him tighter.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, the clouds and rain subsided, and the girl's lingering thoughts had yet to dissipate. She curled up in Qi Yuan's embrace like a little cat, listening to his tales of the Dead Qi World.
"You should have spared the Xi Jiang Fish Maiden's life."
"Oh? Why?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to introduce Han Xianyun to a really awesome wife? I think she's pretty awesome."
"You make sense!" Qi Yuan nodded in agreement.
The Fish Head girl, and her pair of jade-like feet, were indeed quite awesome.
"Next time we enter the Quest World, I'll keep an eye out and see if I can find a wife for Han Xianyun." Qi Yuan was always enthusiastic.
If he encountered a suitable candidate in the Quest World, he would help Han Xianyun arrange the marriage.
Although the two were separated by space and time, it wasn't something Qi Yuan should worry about.
If their love was strong enough, they could meet even if they were at the ends of the earth.
Appearing at the edge of the sky was fine, but appearing at the edge of the sea was a bit impolite.
Of course, with Qi Yuan as the matchmaker, Han Xianyun and the awesome wife had never met. How strong their love was, wasn't something he should concern himself with.
"These stones and trees from the base camp, I brought some out. Take a look." Qi Yuan embraced the Golden Canary and casually waved his hand, throwing out the junk he had collected from the base camp.
He wanted to give these items to the Golden Canary for her research.
He wanted to see if the Golden Canary could use them to enter the Dead Qi World.
The Golden Canary's expression shifted from her previous relaxed and charming demeanor to one of seriousness, exuding a unique aura akin to that of a Yin Immortal.
After about a dozen breaths, surprise flashed in the Golden Canary's eyes.
"The aura of time!"
"Time?" Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Whenever time and space were involved, it was rarely a simple matter.
The Golden Canary's divine realm had touched upon the concept of time.
Thus, the Golden Canary, now a Grand Venerable, had, through her divine realm, reached a high position among Yin Immortals.
As long as the legend held true, she stood on unshakable ground.
In a 1619 book, a flawless version!
"Such a rich aura of time, I..." the Golden Canary's voice trailed off with a hint of dejection and worry.
She was concerned that there might be terrifying beings in the Dead Qi World that could pose a threat to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan couldn't help but notice the Golden Canary's worry, and he patted her nose gently. "It's just a game, nothing to worry about."
"Hmph, it's still annoying. I want to become stronger, why can't I swallow the sun!" the Golden Canary pouted.
"You're trying to compete with me, aren't you?" Qi Yuan chuckled.
"No way, I must study hard. I'll definitely crack it soon and enter the Dead Qi World."
As the Golden Canary spoke, she struggled to get up and changed into her school uniform.
She looked full of vigor and passion.
Standing before the mirror, she examined herself and, through the mirror, looked at Qi Yuan. "Blood Droplet, I'm off to school!"
"Don't go." Qi Yuan smiled, knowing full well the Golden Canary's thoughts.
"Huh?" Hearing this, a look of joy appeared on the Golden Canary's face.
"The school was blown up by a bird with a bomb. Don't go." Qi Yuan made up an excuse.
"But you said so." In the end, the Golden Canary didn't go to school.
Nearly a year had passed since Qi Yuan's return, and she couldn't bear to leave him alone to go to school.
In this world, nothing is more important than the Blood Droplet.
As the two chatted, they talked about everything under the sun.
Around dusk, Qi Yuan took out his phone.
"I've been away for almost a year, I wonder if anyone has been looking for me."
At that moment, Golden Canary was lying in Qi Yuan's embrace, her eyes closed in feigned sleep, her long lashes looking enchanting.
Of course, Qi Yuan knew she was pretending.
He scrolled through his phone.
Hmm, despite being away for nearly a year, the number of messages he received could be counted on one hand.
One was from a women's clothing brand called Chelsea, asking him to model for them since he won the Martial Arts Tournament.
The last message was from six months ago.
Qi Yuan couldn't be bothered to reply and simply deleted it.
Moreover, the brand's name was quite odd, and he initially thought they sold shoes.
Another message wished him a happy birthday, from an unknown number.
Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback and called out.
"Zero One."
"Master, Zero One is at your service."
Outside the room, Zero One paused with the cat toy in hand and stood respectfully at the door.
Xie Xinsu saw the cat toy fall to the ground and quickly bit the red feather, seeming anxious as if afraid someone might snatch it away.
"Who sent this message to me? The number is 456..."
Qi Yuan shared the phone number with Zero One.
"Please wait, Master. Zero One is at your service."
Zero One operated at full power, gathering information from various sources based on the phone number.
After a few minutes, Zero One's voice sounded.
"Master, I've compiled the information related to the owner of this phone number and sent it to you. Please check it."
Qi Yuan quickly opened the file.
Golden Canary, who had been pretending to sleep, leaned in, seemingly curious about the person who wished Qi Yuan a happy birthday.
Upon seeing the photo, Qi Yuan was momentarily stunned.
"Isn't this my blind date, Xiao Mei?"
In the photo was a tall, exceptionally beautiful woman.
Qi Yuan instantly recognized her.
During their blind date at Deji, he had borrowed 300,000 from Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei was kind; not only did she lend him money, but she also paid for their meal.
"She's not just wishing me a happy birthday, but also reminding me to repay the debt, right?"
Qi Yuan felt a bit embarrassed, as he hadn't planned to return the money initially.
Now, with this hint, he would feel socially awkward if he didn't repay it.
"Oh my, this is so unfair! Why should a mentally ill person have to repay a loan?"
Qi Yuan complained, then continued to read the woman's message.
"No wonder she lent you money. She's the older sister of your Primordial Seed." Ning Tao said, tilting her head.
According to the file, the woman was a member of the military, engaged in infiltration and undercover work on Canxing, as well as taking on military assignments.
She also had another identity—she was the disciple of Qi Yuan's deceased parents.
"Hmm, before I reached the Dharmaraja Realm, she was reassigned from undercover work." Qi Yuan continued reading.
Evidently, the Seven Martial Stars Family was aware of the tall woman's connection to Qi Yuan, so they reassigned her from dangerous duties to a department with more benefits, less stress, and real power.
"She even went to the Dead Qi World and has become a cultivator?"
Looking at the information, Qi Yuan felt her sister's experiences were quite extraordinary.
Before their blind date, she was a member of the Dead Qi World.
Moreover, unlike others from the Dead Qi World, she, like Qi Yuan, often lived in the present world.
Recently, with the descent of the Immortal Path, she even joined a cultivation sect due to her outstanding talent and became a cultivator.
Her background could be considered fascinating.
"Is she on a mission in the Dead Qi World now?"
Qi Yuan put down the file, his expression calm.
"With her cultivation methods, she has various means. Completing the mission shouldn't be a problem." Ning Tao said from the side.
"Hmm, I hope she takes her time with this mission. The 300,000 in the bank account will accumulate a lot of interest." Qi Yuan still felt a bit stingy about the money.
The longer she took, the more interest he could earn.
Golden Canary smiled lightly, "I hope she encounters a Red Rod Tyrant and takes the mission target away!"
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression turned solemn, "If I take the mission target away, won't I become a villain?"
"Huh?"
"They've been in the Quest World for a year. What if their Borrowing Balance is overdue, and those people call their parents? Won't they feel socially awkward?"
Qi Yuan was worried; he always considered things thoroughly.
