741: White City Quest
Accepting a disciple?
Wen Qingsu's words made Lin Yang, Cheng Fu, and the Little Girl slightly stunned.
Following that, Lin Yang was the first to react, saying, "Senior's kindness is deeply appreciated, but this matter still depends on Xiao Shuang's own wishes."
He had thought about the Little Girl's future arrangements after she grew up, but after all these years of raising her, how could he not have feelings for her?
While it was a good thing that Wen Qingsu wanted to take the Little Girl as a disciple, it still depended on the Little Girl's own opinion.
Wen Qingsu nodded slightly, "Of course."
She looked at the Little Girl and asked gently, "Are you willing to take me as your master?"
The Little Girl was a bit flustered, glancing at Lin Yang, then at Cheng Fu, who gave her an encouraging look.
The Huan Yin Sect is a top sect, and Wen Qingsu is an Elder. Being able to apprentice under an Elder of a top sect is definitely a great opportunity.
Immediately, the Little Girl made up her mind and whispered to Wen Qingsu, "Xia Shuang is willing to take you as her master."
Saying that, she was about to perform the apprenticeship ceremony for Wen Qingsu.
But Wen Qingsu stopped her, "This trip out was rushed, and I didn't have time to prepare a suitable apprenticeship ceremony. This place is also not suitable for a formal acceptance of a disciple. Wait until you return to the sect with me to formally become my disciple."
Hearing this, Lin Yang's eyes flickered slightly. Wen Qingsu's words showed how much she valued and cared for the Little Girl. To formally accept a disciple under the witness of the sect, rather than casually, made him feel much more at ease.
This also reassured him, at least with Wen Qingsu's protection, the Little Girl shouldn't be bullied much within the Huan Yin Sect.
The other two female cultivators behind Wen Qingsu simultaneously bowed to her respectfully, "Congratulations, Elder, on gaining a beloved disciple!"
Wen Qingsu smiled and nodded, then looked at Lin Yang and said, "Originally, I planned to make a brief stop at the Cloud Drunken Pavilion today before returning to the sect, but since I've taken Xiao Shuang as a disciple, I'll give you two more days to say goodbye. Two days from now, Xiao Shuang will return to the Huan Yin Sect with me, how does that sound?"
Lin Yang cupped his hands and said, "Everything will be arranged according to Senior's wishes."
Seeing this, Wen Qingsu nodded in satisfaction.
Afterward, Lin Yang and the others concluded their celebration and returned to their cave dwelling.
The Little Girl was going with Wen Qingsu to the Huan Yin Sect, so preparations were needed.
After all, the Little Girl was still young, and Lin Yang also needed to plan for her so she would have some confidence when she went to the sect.
"Little Xia Shuang, you've really hit the jackpot today! The Huan Yin Sect is a top sect in the Zheng Mu Prefecture, and Elder Wen seems to really like you. You must cultivate diligently when you get to the Huan Yin Sect."
Cheng Fu was very happy, even a little envious.
Top sects are not that easy to join.
Not only did the Little Girl join, but she was also accepted as a disciple by an Elder; this could be considered a great stroke of luck.
"Big Brother Cheng, I will definitely cultivate hard!" The Little Girl clenched her small fists.
"Hahaha, I hope that the next time we meet, our Little Xia Shuang will already be a grand master!" Cheng Fu said with a smile.
The Zheng Mu Prefecture is right next to the Jidong Prefecture, so the distance is not very far.
There will be many opportunities to meet.
It just won't be that simple.
They would need to find the right timing.
Of course, if one could be a Nie Kong Realm expert like Elder Wen, it would be much more convenient.
Lin Yang prepared some cultivation resources and yuan sand, putting them in a spatial ring and giving them to the Little Girl.
The Little Girl was startled when she saw the massive amount of resources in the spatial ring, and repeatedly said, "Big Brother Lin, this is too much, I can't take it. When I go to the Huan Yin Sect, my master will surely prepare things for me."
Lin Yang shook his head and said, "Take it. Life in the sect isn't as good as you imagine; the competition among disciples is very fierce."
"Although Elder Wen likes and values you, you don't have to ask her for everything. It's safer to have some things in your own hands."
"These resources are all cultivation resources below the Dao. If they're not enough, send me a message, and I'll prepare more for you."
He had actually prepared quite a lot, but time was short, and he couldn't prepare more.
He could only instruct the Little Girl to send a message immediately if she encountered any problems.
The Little Girl's eyes welled up slightly again. She tightly clutched the spatial ring and suddenly bowed deeply to Lin Yang, "Big Brother Lin, Xia Shuang will never forget your kindness for the rest of her life."
Lin Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Silly girl, there's no need to say all this. When you go to the Huan Yin Sect, listen to Elder Wen, but don't let yourself be too wronged. If you're bullied, just come back."
"Mhm!" The Little Girl nodded heavily.
Cheng Fu also took out some cultivation resources and gave them to the Little Girl.
Two days later, after seeing the Little Girl and Wen Qingsu and the others off, Cheng Fu, that guy, watched them leave for a long time before reluctantly retracting his gaze.
"Sigh, this feeling is really hard to bear. Such a small girl, I wonder how she'll fare at the Huan Yin Sect," Cheng Fu sighed.
Although Lin Yang didn't speak, he felt the same.
"Brother Cheng, next, you can take a good rest for a while, waiting for the mission to come down."
Afterward, Lin Yang and Cheng Fu chatted for a bit, then parted ways.
Inside the cave dwelling, Lin Yang looked at Yu Nianyun, gave her an extra sum of yuan sand, and sent her away.
Although she had only taken care of the Little Girl for a little over ten years, she had done so diligently, and Lin Yang was not stingy.
With the Little Girl gone, the large cave dwelling became quiet again, leaving only Lin Yang alone.
After staying alone for a while, he felt a strange nostalgia for the days when the Little Girl used to play in the cave dwelling's courtyard.
After a pause, Lin Yang collected his emotions and began to cultivate in seclusion.
Only a little over ten years had passed since his last mission. Normally, it would be some time before other missions were assigned, so he could use this time to improve himself.
However, not long after, a mission was suddenly issued, requiring their team to immediately rush to Baichi City.
"Go to Baichi City?"
Seeing this sudden mission, Lin Yang's eyes flashed.
It was actually to go to Baichi City!
Moreover, it didn't specify what they were supposed to do.
Captain Li Rui quickly sent messages to each team member, ordering them to gather immediately.
After gathering, everyone in the team was very confused.
"Captain, what exactly is this mission? Why doesn't the mission content say anything, just telling us to go to Baichi City?" a team member asked.
Li Rui sighed softly and lowered his voice, "According to reliable intelligence, someone from the Ancient Night Clan disguised themselves and broke through the border blockade, going to Baichi City. So our mission this time is to assist the Baichi City side in finding the disguised Ancient Night Clan member and to protect Baichi City as much as possible."
"What? An Ancient Night Clan member disguised themselves and went to Baichi City??"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Then, Cheng Fu glanced at Lin Yang and frowned, "Why would an Ancient Night Clan member go to so much trouble to go to Baichi City? Baichi City is just an ordinary city, with nothing special about it. Why would they go to Baichi City?" (End of chapter)
