After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 360 Attendees

"Qiqi, cultivation requires a balance of intensity and rest, otherwise it will cause great harm to the body." Looking at the girl in green sitting cross-legged in the jade bamboo forest, Song Qi couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt.

He arbitrarily placed all the expectations of the entire Green Bamboo Sword Sect on the girl, and trapped her within the Green Bamboo Sword Sect, without considering her feelings at all.

"Master, I understand the reasoning, you don't need to worry," the girl said calmly with her eyes closed.

"Master has to go to the Four Directions Sword Alliance for some business. Do you want to come along?" Song Qi asked with a smile.

"The Four Directions Sword Alliance!" Yang Qiqi immediately opened her eyes.

"Why does Master suddenly want to go to the Four Directions Sword Alliance?" the girl asked curiously.

"The Four Directions Sword Alliance is going to hold a grand auction in Tianjian City, and the Qingzhu Sword Sect has also been invited."

I'm thinking it's not good for you to be cultivating here all day, so I'm planning to take you to the Four Directions Sword Alliance to broaden your horizons. Would you like to come with your master?

"Of course I'd like to!" the girl smiled brightly.

Seeing the girl's smile, Song Qi was momentarily lost in thought; he hadn't seen her so happy in a long time.

……

"Second sister, what brings you to my place today?" Wu Qi was quite surprised to see Wang Ya in his courtyard.

"Let me see if you've been cultivating properly, but you've disappointed me greatly."

"Second sister, that's asking too much. I can't possibly be cultivating all the time! I was just thinking of taking a break when you caught me," Wu Qi argued innocently.

"Hold out your hand!" Wang Ya said coldly.

"That's not a good idea! I'm already so old." Wu Qi hesitated.

"Well, now you've learned to talk back. What wouldn't you dare to do?"

“Show me your hand! Do you think I’m afraid of you?” Wu Qi stretched out and spread his left hand.

"The other one!"

"There's no need for the other one! Hitting this hand is the same." Wu Qi said somewhat guiltily, but seeing Wang Ya's increasingly disappointed look, he still opened his right hand, revealing one of the plump and strong crickets.

"Second sister, I only play around with it occasionally," Wu Qi quickly explained.

"What you play and how long you play is none of my business, because you are jeopardizing your own future."

I seriously doubt if you still remember your promise to Shen Xu? Where is he now, and where are you?

Birds of a feather flock together. When Shen Xu's abilities far surpass yours, can you still be friends?

And don't forget where you're ultimately going. Without sufficient strength, do you expect Shen Xu to do everything for you? And why should he help you?

"Second sister, I know I was wrong." Wu Qi crushed the cricket in her hand into a pulp.

Seeing this, Wang Ya's tone softened, "I didn't mean for you to focus entirely on cultivation and not do anything you like."

I just noticed you've become quite lax since breaking through to the Qi Condensation Realm, so I thought I'd give you a heads-up.

"And would you like to join the Four Directions Sword Alliance?" Wang Ya suddenly asked.

"Huh? Second sister, what do you mean?"

"The sect leader is taking our junior sister to the Four Directions Sword Alliance for an auction. We can go with her."

"Really!" The gloom between Wu Qi's brows vanished instantly.

"Why did I lie to you!"

"Then I'll be able to meet Shen Xu! The Four Directions Sword Alliance must have countless fun and delicious things to do. I'll definitely ask Shen Xu to show me around!"

After Wu Qi finished speaking with unusual excitement, he saw Wang Ya's eyes turn cold again.

"Second sister, I was just kidding." Wu Qi scratched her head.

"Is it just us? Are there any other people? Can Brother Bu go?" Seeing that Wang Ya's eyes were still cold, Wu Qi immediately changed the subject.

"And Jiang Yun and Qingqing too."

Upon hearing about these two people, Wu Qi immediately understood the sect leader's criteria for selecting people. He guessed that they were able to go to the Four Directions Sword Alliance because of Shen Xu's influence.

"It's a pity about Senior Brother Chen, otherwise he would definitely be able to go too," Wu Qi couldn't help but sigh.

“Kaijia has his own path to walk. When his master was still alive, he planned to let him go out and make his own way. He is not suitable to stay in the sect. His indomitable spirit needs enough trials to be tempered.”

……

"Xiaoyun, this storage ring is yours from now on." Jiang Guangyi handed a ring inlaid with a blue gemstone to Jiang Yun.

"Grandpa, this is too precious. Xiaoyun just wants to broaden her horizons," Jiang Yun quickly refused.

"Nonsense! Even a poor family needs to be generous on a journey. We're not exactly poor. This storage ring was originally a birthday gift Grandpa prepared for you; I'm just giving it to you early, so don't refuse."

"Besides, how can you go to a big place like Heavenly Sword City without enough Nourishing Essence Pills? Especially not to attend such a grand auction. Grandpa has packed five thousand Nourishing Essence Pills for you; if you see something you like, just buy it if the price is right."

“Grandpa…” Jiang Yun looked at the graying hair on Jiang Guangyi’s head and couldn’t help but choke up.

Jiang Guangyi wiped away the tears from Jiang Yun's eyes and said earnestly, "Your two older brothers are destined to have limited achievements. Even if they become Mingqi, they will most likely never surpass me."

But you are different. Grandpa has a feeling that Xiaoyun, your future achievements will definitely be extraordinary.

There are also a thousand Qi-Nourishing Pills for Shen Xu. If possible, use those pills to build a good relationship with Shen Xu; he can help you a lot in the future.

"Yes! Xiaoyun understands." Jiang Yun smiled beautifully through her teary eyes.

……

"Master, what brings you here today?" Lu Qingqing, who was practicing her sword, immediately stopped what she was doing and wiped the sweat from her forehead when she saw Chen Lian arrive.

"What? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Chen Lian said, pretending to be angry.

"Haha, of course. But Master is often nowhere to be found all day long, and I've gotten used to not being able to find him, so Master must have something important to tell me this time."

"I'm not that irresponsible. I came to see you because you've done a good job with the Enforcement Hall lately, and I have something to reward you with."

"Huh?" Lu Qingqing looked at the sun on the horizon, somewhat puzzled. "The sun didn't rise in the west today!"

"You brat, do you still want your reward?"

"Of course I want it. I know my master is the best to me." Lu Qingqing chuckled.

"Here, take this." Chen Lian took out three silver pill notes and handed them to Lu Qingqing.

"What is this?" Lu Qingqing looked at the silver pill ticket in Chen Lian's hand and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"A single silver pill ticket from the Heavenly Sword Merchant Guild is worth a thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills. How about that? Master has been good to you, hasn't he? He's almost emptied his savings."

Hearing Chen Lian's words, Lu Qingqing became even more confused, "Master, why are you giving me so much money for no reason?"

"Who said they were all given to you! One is Qingshan's, one is Shen Xu's, and the last one is yours."

"Master, you might as well speak frankly. You're making me a little confused," Lu Qingqing said, puzzled.

"The sect leader is taking you to an auction held by the Four Directions Sword Alliance. As your master, I haven't taught you much, and I feel bad about that. This is the only way I can make up for it."

"The one from Qingshan is the Grand Elder's legacy, while the one from Shen Xu is to repay what I did to him in the Enforcement Hall."
