Hidden Moth

Chapter 171: Gifts of Congratulations to Honor the Guests


Over the years, many have tried to become disciples of Lin Qingshuang, often introduced by seniors of the Magic Sect. The true intentions behind these attempts were hard to say, but Lin Qingshuang did not accept any of them.

It wasn't until last year in Qi Yuan that Lin Qingshuang met He Kao and had the idea of accepting a disciple. Unexpectedly, some shameless elders from the Ancestral Hall snatched the opportunity, which left Lin Qingshuang very frustrated.

Humans are such peculiar creatures. Either they don't want to accept disciples and always have a knot in their hearts, or once they are moved by the idea, they keep thinking about it, feeling the need to have a successor.

So He Kao sent Meng Ya in front of her, using a method that involved quite some thought. First, he told Lin Qingshuang Meng Ya's story, which piqued her interest.

Then He Kao had Meng Ya guide Xiaopang in cultivating the Observing Body Skill, and said that if Xiaopang could achieve entry level, he would give the two of them a chance to introduce them to a true senior of the Observing Body Sect.

These words were spoken right in front of Lin Qingshuang because she was listening in the next room, though He Kao was unaware that Wild Phoenix was present too.

He Kao speculated that Lin Qingshuang would surely not be able to contain her curiosity and would secretly observe them. He guessed right!

As long as Lin Qingshuang was secretly observing, over time, she wouldn't be able to resist. Having Meng Ya, who was relatively inexperienced, instruct Xiaopang in the Observing Body Skill would certainly lead to many incorrect points, and indeed, Lin Qingshuang couldn't resist and appeared to personally guide them.

As long as Lin Qingshuang took the initiative to appear, the subsequent matters would fall into place, only waiting for Xiaopang to officially reach entry level.

The manor has no walls, blending seamlessly with the surrounding mountains and fields. Its garden-style design, combined with the area's natural landscapes of mountains, forests, springs, and waterfalls, makes it a secluded Dao Field away from the clamor of the world.

Unfortunately, Lin Qingshuang seldom stayed here, spending most of her time consulting in the pharmacy. As a Tier Three Healer of the Observing Body Sect, her most important cultivation was not about dwelling in the mountains.

However, today's disciple ceremony was held within this "Qihuang Spirit Garden," both to showcase the master's strength to the two disciples and to facilitate the reception of the witnessing guests.

Lin Qingshuang didn't widely announce the event, but some informed people came of their own accord, and the attendees were not few.

Qian Guran and Yao Shaolan naturally came, and He Kao's new second elder uncle, Xiao Guangnian, also showed up.

Xiao Guangnian happened to be in the area after concluding matters in Acheng. The elder, imitating young people, embarked on a self-driving tour, traveling for more than half a month through mountains and rivers before finally reaching Qi Yuan.

According to him, he came to return a car to He Kao, because He Kao had left it in Acheng last time, and the second elder uncle brought it back for him... coincidentally learning about Lin Qingshuang's disciple acceptance event.

The matter in Acheng made Ye Hui owe a favor to Xiao Guangnian. Upon hearing the elder was in Jiangnan, Ye Hui also came to pay respects and host, thus learning about it... bringing along his entire apprentice cohort and Wu Yanjun, all came to witness and celebrate.

Including his daughter Ye Yuxuan, Ye Hui had five disciples who had entered the path of cultivation, which is relatively many in the Magic Sect, and a junior disciple Xiaowu, making them seven people arriving in a minibus.

The stewards, Gong Xiaodong from Observing Body Sect and Wei Luo from Lingxi Sect, surprisingly came too. The two of them were the guests with the highest cultivation at the scene.

Recently, the Magic Sect dispatched three stewards responsible for investigating the Ren Zhongqing case of killing Golden Heron Wave, and the Ancestral Hall issued a Jianghu Order to hunt Ren Zhongqing, resulting in Ren Zhongqing being dealt with by Qian Guran in Qi Yuan.

The three stewards each came to Qi Yuan to verify the situation and sent the Magic Sect's reward to Qian Guran, conveniently hearing the news.

The Heart Plate Sect Steward, Yu Shangzhen, merely entrusted Gong Xiaodong to convey his congratulations verbally, without sending a gift. This is normal, as their relationship hadn't reached that stage, and Yu Shangzhen had also recently accepted a disciple without inviting Lin Qingshuang and others to witness.

However, Gong Xiaodong would certainly come, as the sect's senior sister was finally willing to accept a disciple, and he naturally wanted to join in the fun, also seeing this as an opportunity to build closer ties.

Gong Xiaodong had long been to the Qihuang Spirit Garden and had led disciples to gather spirit medicine there many times, so he went ahead directly.

As for Steward Wei, she came with He Kao, driving with the second elder uncle, for Xiao Guangnian was her sect uncle.

A high-tier Sorcerer from the Observing Body Sect also came, who was the victim in the Ren Zhongqing case from Jinlu Garden. He came specifically to Qi Yuan to express gratitude to Qian Guran and happened to hear about this event, thus coming to Hengzhou.

Did you notice an oddity among these people? There was a peculiar fellow who slipped among them, and that's He Kao.

He Kao is not openly a disciple of the Magic Sect, or at least he's just a Guest of Fate, yet everyone tacitly understood this and said nothing directly.

In truth, he could also be counted as a junior coming out to see the world with the second elder uncle, like how Ye Hui brought six juniors along?

Over the years, although Lin Qingshuang has rarely been involved in Magic Sect affairs, her potential influence is not small, especially within the Observing Body Sect. If she were willing to widely announce, the number of guests would likely overflow the manor.

The features of the Technique of Observing Body, even if one can't achieve entry in the Foundation Establishment Chapter, still have the effect of strengthening the body. After entry, the various advancement ceremonies designed by the founder mostly involve guiding disciples in cultivation.

Therefore, the number of disciples in the Observing Body Sect is the largest among the Seven Great Magic Sects, accounting for almost a third of the total. Many would send congratulations upon hearing the news, whether or not they had previous encounters, using the chance to establish a connection and to become recognized by the sect.

Lin Qingshuang, of course, anticipated this, hence choosing not to publicize broadly, ensuring that those able to attend today were all drawn by fate.
