C25 Phoenix Came to Visit
Huang Xi came to visit.
The next day, under Du Lin's burping urging, Ye Zhifa stood outside the Cloud Immortal Palace's door early in the morning, waiting for the guest Du Lin mentioned.
The guest who paid a visit to the Cloud Immortal Palace today was not a stranger, but Huang Xi, who had just parted ways at Xue Ling yesterday. Of course, the round-faced little girl followed behind her without any surprise.
Xue Ling rushed to the side, and Ye Zhifa was unable to speak to Huang Xi even when he left. He felt very regretful in his heart. At this time, when they reunited, he was naturally unable to contain his joy. He took three steps and two steps forward to welcome them.
Ye Zhifa wanted to greet her, but Huang Xi reached out and wiped his head first. She smiled and asked him, "Ye Zhifa, is it fun to stay in the Falling Goose Peak?"
There were other people present. Ye Zhifa did not want to be treated like a child. He quickly slapped Huang Xi's palm away and answered, "Sister Huang Xi, Master has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go in and see him first."
Ye Zhifa did not expect to be stared at by the round-faced little girl after he guessed that he had called Huang Xi. He did not know whether it was because of that sentence or not.
Huang Xi waved her hand and complained, "How come you are not as lively as before after becoming a true disciple? How boring. I am familiar with the Cloud Immortal Palace. I do not need you to lead the way."
After saying that, Huang Xi took the lead and walked into the Cloud Immortal Palace. Ye Zhifa followed behind her. He also complained in his heart, "Huang Xi's appearance and temperament are impeccable. Why does it feel like she's a gangster when she speaks and acts?"
Du Lin had been sitting in the Cloud Immortal Palace for a long time. When he saw Huang Xi come in, he casually put the wine jar in his hand to the side and greeted, "Junior Sister Huang, it has been a long time since we last saw each other."
"Senior Brother Du, what are you talking about? Didn't we just meet at Xue Ling yesterday?"
"Yesterday...? Oh yes, we met. Hehe, you should know that if you drink too much, you'll forget things easily. "
Both of their questions and answers were nonsense, but the way they addressed Ye Zhifa shocked him.
Junior Sister Huang? Senior Brother Du? Huang Xi and Du Lin were actually of the same generation?
Among the four of them, only Du Lin saw Ye Zhifa's surprised expression and asked, "Zhifa, Junior Sister Huang's master is the Supreme Elder of the Sword Palace, Yun Xiaozi. Don't tell me you don't know?"
This matter, Ye Zhifa really... He didn't know.
At this time, Huang Xi also noticed Ye Zhifa's dilemma, so she called out to help him solve the problem of addressing him. "It's fine. You can just call me sister. I don't want to be called aunt at such a young age."
"Aunt, do I have to call him uncle? He's younger than me."
Only then did Ye Zhifa know that the round-faced girl was actually Huang Xi's niece. It was no wonder that when he called Huang Xi just now, she would be indignant.
"Just follow the trajectory of the Sword Palace and call him senior brother. When the little devil is called uncle, he will age quickly."
Huang Xi quickly and clearly arranged everyone's address. After that, the few of them sat down one by one and Huang Xi introduced them to the others.
"Senior brother Du, this is my sister's daughter, Chu Qianwei. Qianwei, greet your senior uncle Du."
After Chu Qianwei finished bowing, Du Lin asked Huang Xi, "Your sister's daughter... She is Princess Ling Shou's daughter? Why is she here? "
"Elder sister had an emergency a few months ago and followed brother-in-law. I was worried that someone else would take care of Qian Wei, so I brought her to the Qinxi Mountain."
Huang Xi was originally a member of the royal family of the Cold Forest Country, and the Cold Forest Country was sandwiched between the West Jin and the Southern Jin. However, it came from both sides, and the marriage between the royal family was endless for generations. For example, Huang Xi's elder sister, Princess Ling Shou, was married to the son of one of the four dukes of the Southern Jin. It was a pity that the heavens did not give birth to a new year. The husband and wife had passed away one after another, and only Chu Qianwei was left behind.
In the past year that Ye Zhifa had joined the Sword Palace, he had read a lot of humanities and geography books. He already knew Huang Xi's background. However, he had lived in a country that had defeated all the nobles in his previous life. He also had many secrets. Thus, he did not take Huang Xi's royal identity seriously.
However, Du Lin was more thoughtful than him. The relationship between the Cold Forest Country royal family and the Three Flowers Dao Palaces of the Zhehua Sword Palace was quite deep. Currently, both the Zhehua Sword Palace and the Sun Moon and Star Sect had a deep relationship with the Hanlin royal family. Although Chu Qianwei's surname was not Phoenix, there would still be a lot of trouble to deal with.
After pondering for a moment, Du Lin suddenly couldn't help but laugh. What did it matter if she got into trouble? The person in charge of the Sword Palace was Huangfu Xuan. Wouldn't it be good to cause some trouble for him?
"Junior sister, every time you come looking for me, there will be no good news. Last time, you said that there is a talented outer sect disciple. Now, the Cloud Immortal Palace won't be peaceful anymore." Du Lin first pointed at Ye Zhifa, then pointed at Chu Qianwei. He asked. : "What about this, do you also want me to take her as my disciple? Do you know that my Falling Goose Peak has always been a disciple and a master? Now, I don't have a slot for her. "
Only now did Ye Zhifa know that Huang Xi had also put in a lot of effort to help him deceive Du Lin's green eyes. However, this was not a good time to thank her. He first gave her a grateful look.
"Senior brother, you are willing to accept it, but I am not willing to accept it. Qian Wei was not like Ye Zhifa, she was just a little girl. How can I entrust it to you, an alcoholic? I am prepared to take her as my disciple, but you know the rules of the Sword Palace. I haven't even graduated yet. So... "
Du Lin nodded, indicating that he understood what Huang Xi had asked of him. Then, he looked at Ye Zhifa.
"Master, why are you staring at me?"
"Because your useless sister Huang Xi hasn't graduated yet, the disciple she wants to take needs to pass another test. This test can find a disciple of the same generation to help her, and it just so happens to be you."
For an elder like Du Lin, if he wanted to take in a disciple, he would have to do it his own way. The Sword Palace couldn't interfere. Although Huang Xi had the same seniority as Du Lin, in terms of status, she was still a true disciple. If she wanted to take in another disciple, she would have to expend a lot of effort.
"But Master, the other senior brothers and sisters are all stronger than me. If you want to pass the test, shouldn't you find someone stronger?"
Ye Zhifa did not think that Huang Xi was as popular as him and his disciple. She could not even find someone to help her.
"When our Sword Palace's old ancestor set this rule, in order to prevent this kind of situation, he set that the age of the helper cannot be higher than the person who participated in the test. Go to the Sword Palace and find a few people as young as you."
There were indeed a few children who were not even ten years old in the outer sect, but that group of children added up was not even enough to defeat Ye Zhifa with a single hand. It seemed like he really had to be the one to help this time.
Ye Zhifa was grateful that Huang Xi recommended him to Du Lin. He already had the intention of repaying her. Now that Huang Xi needed his strength, he naturally would not let her go.
Du Lin thought about it and asked a few more questions.
"Junior sister, are you going to let the two of them leave immediately?"
"There's no need to be so anxious. I have an appointment with the royal family. As long as Qianwei can become the true disciple of the Sword Palace within a year, she won't need to return to Fengdu. If we calculate it now, there's still about ten months left. "
Du Lin was very satisfied when he heard that there was still a gap of ten months. He said, "Then let's wait for another half a year. A helper in the Spiritual Power Realm will definitely be more useful than a helper in the Inner Power Realm."
What he meant was that Ye Zhifa could break through the limits of mortals in half a year and cultivate his magical energy.
When he heard Du Lin's words, Ye Zhifa instantly felt a heavy sense of anticipation on his shoulders.
Can I really break through to the Spiritual Power Realm in half a year?
