However, there was a usual saying that luck couldn’t be stopped. Obviously, Qi Huan didn’t belong to that kind of category. She had never had a character. She had bumped into the person, unfortunately he was not a handsome man, instead, he was a shriveled walnut-like old Taoist.

The old Taoist stood not far from the well, staring at Qi Huan. Judging from the stiffness of his body, it was obvious that he was frightened.

The corner of Xu Kong Zi’s mouth twitched slightly, he cursed the whole Song Family with all the vicious curses he knew. Who was that rascal that told him that the Song Family was haunted? This “ghost” was obviously a living person, and… She was even a young girl without proper clothes.

I’m finished, oh no, I’m finished! If this became a rumor, Xu Kong Zi would be deeply embarrassed! How could he face the rest of the cultivating world? His wonderful reputation!

Qi Huan stared at the old man for a long while, until finally she felt a little sore, so she looked down at the white sheet that was wrapped around her body. She suddenly realized that she should have shouted. How could she be the one who suffered the loss? How long did this old man stand there watching her?

So, Qi Huan took a deep breath, and was about to shout for help. Before she could shout, the old man casted a spell and sealed Qi Huan’s mouth firmly.

“@#^*&#[email protected]#!!^^…” Qi Huan glared at the old man fiercely, as if she was trying to cut him with her eyes.

“Erm…hehe, young lady, don’t be scared, I definitely didn’t do it on purpose, I didn’t see anything at all just now.” The old man carefully said apologetically after noticing Qi Huan’s fierce eyes, and the way she gritted her teeth as though she wanted to get rid of him.

“Hmph!” Qi Huan, who couldn’t speak, snorted heavily. Lies! If he had done nothing, why was he so frightened! It was obvious that he was not a good person!

“You must not blame me. You tell me, you wander outside in the middle of the night, it is inevitable for people to misunderstand you.”

This time Qi Huan turned her head away and protested silently. Of course she knew what the old man meant. Although she didn’t mean to look scary, the Song Family was a bunch of bad people anyway, so she didn’t feel guilty at all.

However, she didn’t expect this old man to realize that she wasn’t a ghost in just a glance. He even casted a spell on her that made her unable to speak.

Before she time travelled, Qi Huan was also a fan of novels. She had more or less read before novels about cultivation, but she never believed it to be true. She didn’t expect that she would actually encounter a legendary cultivator after time traveling.

But since time traveling was already possible, perhaps the existence of cultivators was nothing too special. If I could also cultivate to be a celestial…

Qi Huan rolled her eyes and laughed at her thoughts silently.

As if noticing Qi Huan’s ill-intentioned gaze, the old Taoist took a few steps back carefully. He felt as if he was being targeted by carnivores. However, this little girl should not pose any threat to him, right…

Qi Huan changed her expression in an instant. She opened her eyes wide, with all her strength, trying to squeeze out some tears, as she looked at the old man pitifully. Her expression changed so quickly that the old Taoist almost applauded.

“Erm…If I take the incantation away, you mustn’t scream, alright!” Seeing Qi Huan kept making gestures to him to take the incantation away, the old way hesitated before warning her.

Seeing that he was going to free her, Qi Huan nodded repeatedly.

The old Taoist made a gesture with his fingers, and the spell on Qi Huan’s mouth flew back to his hand.

Qi Huan chuckled secretly, this old man is very negotiable. This was the first time she had seen a real cultivator in this world, so she decided to make him her teacher!

As she mulled over the thought, Qi Huan flatted her lips, and used her face-changing skills that she had learned in her drama club for three years in college.

Seeing the little girl sitting on the ground crying out loud, Xu Kong Zi suddenly felt a terrible headache. In all his life, he had most feared of a woman crying. He didn’t even mess with this little girl. Why was she crying?

Qi Huan wiped her tears while pinching her thigh, taking the moment to peek at the old man. Seeing that the old man appeared anxious but didn’t speak, Qi Huan cried even louder this time.

“You, you, you don’t cry. It’s all my fault, I was wrong, what do you want me to do so that you’ll stop crying…” Finally, Xu Kong Zi begged. He almost sat beside Qi Huan and started crying as well.

Seeing that she had almost gotten what she wanted, Qi Huan choked back her cry, tears still kept rolling down her cheeks, as she squeaked, “I, I don’t want to live anymore…”

Qi Huan’s first sentence scared the heck out of the old Taoist, “Don’t say that, I really didn’t see anything. What do you mean you don’t want to live anymore? Look at you, you’re young, you have a long life ahead of you!” The old Taoist laughed cautiously, for fear that Qi Huan would be scared to death if he spoke too loud.

“Wuu, wuu…… I don’t have a father and a mother… I secretly stayed with the Song Family just because I do not want to starve to death outside, wuu, wuu…… If Old Master Song finds out that I was pretending to be a ghost, he will kill me.” Qi Huan spoke through sobs. She even grabbed the old man’s sleeve over to blow her nose.

“This, this…” Xu Kong Zi had been cultivating in the mountains for a long time. He never knew that there was such a miserable person in the mortal world. Qi Huan’s made up story made Xu Kong Zi feel pity for her.

“How about… How about you follow me to the mountains? Although I can’t bring your parents back to life, I can offer you food.”

Only

“No, no, that’s not good. If others know about it, they will blame you.” Qi Huan suppressed her smile while wiping her tears.

“Then… how about you be my student first?” Xu Kong Zi asked cautiously.

“This…” Qi Huan pretended to hesitate. Only God knew how happy she secretly was at that time.

“I know this is a bit inconvenient for you, but you can’t stay in the Song Family’s house. This is all my fault. I should be responsible for you. Although I am not a good teacher, I will never let you be wronged.” Xu Kong Zi said it sincerely. If these words were heard by the disciples on Qing Yun Mountain, Qi Huan’s head would probably be chopped off.

Xu Kong Zi could be considered as the person with the best reputation in the entire cultivation world. It was a good thing to be his apprentice. She did not expect that Xu Kong Zi would have to beg others to be his apprentice.

Xu Kong Zi’s words made Qi Huan’s face reddened a little. She didn’t expect that this old man was such a good-hearted person. No, she should call him shifu now.

And so, this year, the first sensational event in the cultivation world happened: Xu Kong Zi of Qing Yun Mountain had an apprentice, and she was even a female apprentice. And from then on, the cultivation world ceased from being peaceful.
