nAfter Song Qingfeng left, Dong Xi opened up the restrictions of the cave abode and took out the things he had packed in the wooden house from his storage bag. After tidying up the cave abode, he took out his communication jade slip and sent a message to Ke Xin.
n
n“Sister, I’ve been chosen by spiritual Master Lingxu!” Dong Xi said.
n
nKe Xin replied within seconds, and Dong Xi shrieked the moment she opened the message.
n
nHe was instantly shocked. Then, information poured in like beans, one after another.
n
n“Really?” Ke Xin asked. “Do you need to be so awesome?”
n
n“I heard that Master Lingxu has already taken Chi Yan from the Sword Sect?”
n
n“Where are you? Could it be that someone replaced your spot? Can you immediately ask if you can still enter the inner sect?”
n
n…
n
nDong Xi was afraid that if her reply was too slow, who knew what kind of image this sister would imagine, so she immediately replied, “No, don’t make wild guesses. Master Lingxu took in two disciples this time, and I’m one of them. But I guess I’m just a study companion. After all, Chi Yan and I are about the same age.”
n
nKe Xin heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the news. “A study companion is not bad. It’s better to be in the inner sect than the outer sect. It won’t be so easy for us sisters to meet again in the future.”
n
nDong Xi could hear the desolation in her voice and comforted her, “Is there another sect selection in a year? Your aptitude is better than mine, and you’re one of the top disciples in the outer sect. If you work hard, it’s only a matter of time before you enter the inner sect.”
n
nKe Xin felt it was rather funny to hear such mature words coming out of her young and tender voice. “I know. You, on the other hand, have to take good care of yourself after you enter the inner sect.”
n
nKe Xin had really tried her best, but she was still a 12-year-old child after all. Children were still very playful.
n
nWhen she thought about how Dong Xi had been chosen to enter the inner sect, she was indeed a little agitated. She had also made up her mind to cultivate properly.
n
nDong Xi put away the jade slip and walked outside. There was a cluster of flowers outside the cave. Because of the rich spiritual Qi, every flower was extremely bright.
n
nThere was a pond beside the cave. Dong Xi went up to check and found that it was actually running water! Does this mean she could take a bath?
n
nThe sect had already set up restrictions around the cave. As long as it was activated, this would be her small world.
n
nDong Xi was very satisfied. Immortal cultivation had given her two rooms, one living room, and even a garden.
n
nIf it was in his previous life, she might not be able to afford it even after many years of work.
n
nShe happily returned to the cave abode and entered the training room. There was a skylight at the top that allowed the moonlight to shine into the room. It was simply tailor-made.
n
nShe sat in the spirit gathering array and began to cultivate. Time passed, and the night passed.
n
nThe first ray of the morning sun shone into the room. Dong Xi had already finished washing up and was heading towards the mountain peak next door where Master Lingxu was.
n
nDong Xi gathered spiritual energy on her feet and ran quickly.
n
nHowever, the hour was almost over, and Master Lingxu, Chi Yan, and the others had yet to see Dong Xi.
n
n“Master, did that girl overslept?” Song Qingfeng asked.
n
nLiang Yan furrowed his brows. Since she had already chosen to cultivate, he had to teach this girl a lesson in the future.
n
nMaster Lingxu was not angry, Instead, he smiled. “It’s fine. She’s still young, so it’s understandable that she’s sleepy. It won’t be like this when she’s older.”
n
nHe was usually very tolerant of talented disciples.
n
nChi Yan, who was standing beside Liang Yan, was dressed in red. His waist-length hair was braided into small braids, and there were a few red feathers on her head.
n
nHearing everyone’s words, she also frowned. She wanted to say something, but she did not.
n
nLingxu noticed Chi Yan’s hesitation. “Chi Yan, what do you want to say?”
n
nChi Yan did not expect to be discovered by Lingxu. She bit her lip and took a step forward, bowing respectfully, “Master, I’m thinking that perhaps she came from her own cave, which is a bit far.”
n
nHer words stunned everyone. Chi Yan continued, “I just came over and found that the distance between the peaks was quite far. Fortunately, I can fly, so I was able to arrive in time.”
n
nLingxu understood this time. His disciples were all from aristocratic families. When their cultivation was low, their families had given them magic tools, so they did not need to walk at all.
n
nBut Dong Xi, this unlucky child, had come from the mortal world and did not have any magic tools. He also did not know how to ride a flying sword, so she could only walk over.
n
nSong Qingfeng also reacted and disappeared, “Master, I’m going to pick up this poor little thing.”
n
nLiang Yan wanted to say that he would go by himself, but Song Qingfeng beat him to it.
n
nHe could only stand there obediently. His master asked curiously, “Has Qingfeng changed? Don’t you dislike everyone?”
n
nLiang Yan shook his head. “Junior Brother, you’re frank and straightforward. You’ve always acted as you please. I don’t know why you’re like this.”
