Chapter 228 Finally, are they all here?
"No."
"Alas, although I want to, Huaizhou, don't take my last name."
The boy looked up in surprise: "Why?"
【"Why?"】
Jiang Liqian slightly concealed the emptiness and coldness in her eyes.
"No reason."
[“Because… my last name isn’t a good one. It doesn’t bring good luck, it only brings pain.”]
The taciturn boy in plain clothes tightened his grip on his sword little by little, as if he was grasping at his only salvation.
"My last name is Jiang Huaizhou, and my name is Jiang Huaizhou, the Jiang in 'willows hanging over the river with their shadows'."
"I want to have the surname Jiang, like 'willows hang down over the river, plum blossoms fade on branches amidst the snow.' Senior Sister, I want to have the surname Jiang."
"what ever."
“Okay, let’s call him Jiang Huaizhou. Jiang Huaizhou. Jiang Huaizhou. It sounds really nice!”
As the pen fell, she said expressionlessly, "Next."
Her pale fingertips gently rested on the name register, and a voice tinged with worry rang out: "Senior Sister, you've been busy for a long time. Let me help you now."
A warm current slowly flowed into the heart that had been filled with ice. Jiang Liqian forced herself to reveal a relatively gentle smile and shook her head at Xu Youan: "Junior brother, you go and practice. I can handle this here."
Since she would have to face those "old friends" sooner or later, what was the point of hiding now? She might as well meet them one by one and see what they were like in their current lives!
It's funny to say, it turns out that the trajectory of fate had already been determined. Whether she was there or not, they would come here and enter the Qiankun Sect. Next... they would probably become disciples of the Immortal Master Qingzhi together, right?
Now Jianfeng, which is usually sparsely populated, is going to become lively again. She is really looking forward to it!
Jiang Liqian was always thinking about Shen Qingqing and the others, and did not notice the dim and lonely eyes of his junior brother beside him, and did not even realize that he had not left yet.
It was not until the last person in the team finished the test and was about to put away the spirit stone that she was shocked to find that Xu Youan had been standing behind her and accompanying her.
"Junior brother, why are you still here?"
Fingertips curled slightly into the palm of his hand, Xu Youan lowered his eyes, and spoke in a soft and low voice, with an imperceptible cautiousness: "Senior Sister... don't you like me to follow you?"
Jiang Liqian couldn't help but smile helplessly. She raised her hand and gently tapped his brow: "Junior brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm worried that you'll be bored standing alone in silence. If you remind me, I can talk to you, right?"
Xu Youan raised his eyes in a daze, then quickly lowered his eyelashes to hide the expression that was surging in his eyes.
"Senior Sister, I will always be here."
Jiang Liqian suddenly saw a man in the distance, adjusting his belt and running towards them. She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing. She didn't hear what Xu Youan said clearly, so she asked again: "What?"
But this time, Xu Youan just said: "Nothing, Senior Sister."
Jiang Liqian felt strange and was about to ask again, but in the blink of an eye, the man had already hurried to her table, gasping for breath, and said intermittently: "I... I have also passed the Heart-Knocking Ladder. I... I came... I came to test my spiritual roots. I just had a stomachache. Sorry... I'm sorry..."
The senior sister who had already packed up looked over and said with a smile: "You are too careless. You came to become my disciple and got a stomachache? Fortunately, Junior Sister Jiang was waiting for you, otherwise you would have missed the opportunity to join our sect!"
The man swallowed several times before he could barely speak clearly. He thanked the senior sister repeatedly and then turned to thank Jiang Liqian.
"Junior Meng Jiuan, thank you Fairy Sister for waiting for me. I will bring you delicious food in the future."
The senior sister next to him laughed out loud: "He really loves to eat. It just so happens that our sect has a specialist in food cultivation, which is just right for this child."
Jiang Liqian closed her eyes slightly.
Finally, everyone is here.
He picked up the pen and wrote the three words "Meng Jiuan" in the last column.
The colorful flowing stones on the square lit up one after another again. Under the rendering of the remaining sunset glow, the misty and steaming sea of clouds turned the square into a fairyland.
Cranes circled, auspicious beasts roared, and three bells rang out, each one deeper and farther than the last, as if reaching beyond the sky.
The Qiankun Sect's disciple recruitment conference officially begins.
Jiang Liqian had no intention of staying here any longer. After all, she had already done what Senior Brother Xie asked her to do.
But just as she was about to leave, Master Zhongdao on the high platform waved at her and Xu Youan, motioning them to come over.
She had to wonder again whether it was not appropriate for her to go out today.
I have packed my bags, but I still haven't been able to go down the mountain.
"Junior brother, Master is looking for us, let's go."
Xu Youan nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Liqian packed up the spirit-testing stones and handed them to the senior sister next to her.
These are all things from the Discipline Hall. If they are lost, she will have to pay for them. She doesn't want to waste her spirit stones in vain.
The two of them passed through the square and headed straight towards where Master Zhongdao was sitting.
She and Xu Youan's figures did not stop at all, but were being looked at intentionally or unintentionally by countless pairs of eyes.
There was one gaze in particular that was particularly scorching.
Jiang Liqian knew who it belonged to without even thinking about it.
"Master."
"Master."
She and Xu Youan bowed to Master Chongdao together.
Master Chongdao stroked his beard and responded with a smile, which made the other peak masters envious.
The two of them bowed to the Qingzhi Immortal Venerable who was in the main seat according to the rules, and then bowed to the other peak masters. Jiang Liqian called out to the Hongyun Peak Master alone: "Godmother."
This made the other peak masters even more jealous.
Damn it, why do all the good things get taken away by others first, and none of them get any?
Zhongdao was feeling elated, ignoring the envious and jealous looks. He said to his two disciples, "It just so happens that you're here. An'er is my last disciple. I won't accept any more personal disciples. You can see if there's anyone you like and choose him as an inner disciple. It will also be like adding a junior brother or sister to your family, and it will be more lively in the future."
Fufeng Peak Master Yang Yun was puzzled: "Doesn't Zhenfeng never accept inner disciples? Why are they suddenly accepting them this time?"
Huang Chengtian, the head of Qifeng, snorted coldly: "He must be afraid that his good disciples will become someone else's. He can't accept them as his own disciples, so he can only accept them as inner disciples. He is really greedy."
"It doesn't really matter whether or not we accept good disciples. The key is that Zhenfeng has too few disciples. If we could have a few more, we could continue Zhenfeng's century-old heritage." Le Fenghua looked at the Immortal Qingzhi in the main seat without saying a word, and with a hint of meaning, "Master, are you still not planning to accept a disciple this time?"
The peak masters were silent for a while, and all held their breath and looked at the leader who was as white as snow and frost.
The other peaks at least have some direct disciples, but the sword tip is really as cold as the snow above.
