Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Chapter 1280 - 569: A Female Disciple (2)

After returning to his room, he sat cross-legged and began regulating his breath.

A whole night then began to swiftly pass.

While he was resting, far away, hundreds of miles away, at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

On a mountain peak, a few people were discussing something.

"Have you heard, there’s an Immortal that has arrived in Yue Country!"

One of them said in discussion.

"I’ve heard, it seems they helped a princess ascend to the throne."

Another person also joined the conversation.

"I heard the enthronement is tomorrow."

"But they haven’t sent out invitations."

Another person joined the discussion.

"Daring not to invite people from our Ten Thousand Swords Sect, truly outrageous."

The previous person gritted his teeth and said, "This looks down on us too much."

"Who doesn’t agree? But with the support of an Upper Immortal, isn’t it normal to look down on anyone?"

The recent person sighed, "I actually want to see what sort of divine being this Immortal truly is."

"That’s not something we can attend, only the Grand Elder and others have the chance to go!"

"Indeed, I wonder if they will go."

"Why go if they haven’t invited us?"

"..."

People here began to discuss one after another, each explaining their curiosity with a lack of concern.

"Shh, Elder Wang is coming."

During their discussion, a familiar figure approached.

It was none other than Xu Qingqiu’s mentor, Wang Zhengqian.

Beside him was someone Ning Qi hadn’t seen for days, Xu Qingqiu.

"You should rest, it’s so late, behaving like this is indecent!"

Wang Zhengqian glared at a few people, "You’re from the Inner Sect, yet you lack any discipline."

"Yes, Second Elder."

"Forgive us, Second Elder, we will leave at once!"

"..."

Several people responded and then left as if escaping.

"Master, do you think we should go tomorrow?"

Xu Qingqiu looked at Wang Zhengqian and curiously asked.

"They’ve overthrown a dynasty, it’s too rash."

"We don’t need to concern ourselves."

Wang Zhengqian shook his head, "If we go voluntarily, wouldn’t that be laughable?"

"Oh."

Xu Qingqiu agreed and stopped asking further questions.

"By the way, have you contacted your friend since?"

Wang Zhengqian suddenly thought of something and asked.

"No, he might... be forever sealed inside!"

Xu Qingqiu shook her head.

Despondency appeared on her delicate face.

"He was too greedy, that’s all his fault."

Wang Zhengqian showed some disdain and continued, "He sent us all out, but instead went to accept the inheritance."

"Master, you can’t say that, maybe he couldn’t help it!"

Xu Qingqiu shook her head and refuted.

"It’s been so long, yet you’re still speaking for him!"

Wang Zhengqian glanced at her and said with mild frustration, "You’ve never said a good word for your Master."

"How could that be, you’re my Master."

"Even if I say something good, I can’t say it to your face!"

Xu Qingqiu playfully said.

"Why is that?"

Wang Zhengqian looked at her.

"I can’t flatter you openly, otherwise wouldn’t my senior and junior brothers get jealous?"

Xu Qingqiu said with great interest, "Master, I’m going down the mountain to see the lanterns, I’ll leave you be."

"Just told them, didn’t you hear? Go back to cultivate!"

Wang Zhengqian heard her say this and sternly replied.

"Master, I haven’t been down the mountain for months, I’ll just go once!"

Xu Qingqiu began to plead.

"Fine, you can go, but after you’re back on the mountain, spend a day in reflection!"

Wang Zhengqian said begrudgingly.

"Only a day, alright!"

"Then I agree!"

Xu Qingqiu hadn’t even finished speaking when she turned into a streak of light and disappeared beside him.

"This girl!"

Wang Zhengqian shook his head and then headed back up the mountain.

Clearly, he was going to meditate.

The night swiftly began to pass.

...

The next day, Ning Qi was still adjusting his breath in the pavilion.

When he heard a series of jumbled noises outside.

"Master, Princess Xiangxiang’s enthronement ceremony should be starting soon!"

Medicine Spirit had awakened early.

He heard the commotion outside and became exceptionally excited.

"If you want to go see it, go by yourself, I’m not going!"

Ning Qi heard him say this and understood his thoughts.

"Alright, if you’re not going, I will!"

Medicine Spirit agreed and flew out from the window.

Ning Qi watched Medicine Spirit leave and couldn’t help but shake his head.

Then he stood up and tidied up.

Once everything was sorted, he activated his Cultivation Technique and flew into the void above.

This time, as he activated his Cultivation Technique, he unleashed his power.

With the blessing of this powerful aura, those below wouldn’t perceive his presence at all.

In the void above, he could see far off, before the Golden Hall of the Imperial City, an altar was already set up.

The civil and military officials below were watching the front with solemn faces.

And today, Li Xiangrou had already changed into royal garb.

Giving her a vigorous and spirited appearance.

Ning Qi just watched as their enthronement ceremony began.

Below, the cannons roared, congratulatory sounds and various sounds of gongs and drums continued.

And in the city outside the Imperial City, the citizens were also celebrating.

Once everything was over, Li Xiangrou left the Imperial City in her entourage, escorted by the Forbidden Guard.

She started to wander in the city.

This was also announcing that from today onwards, she was the new monarch of Yue Country.

Seeing her, the citizens knelt.

Their faces showed reverence.

"It’s finally over."

Ning Qi watched the scene in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh, "How long has it been now? A few months?"

"Indeed."

He didn’t know when Medicine Spirit had already returned to his side.

"Why didn’t you watch the show?"

Ning Qi laughed and asked as he watched him return.

"Master, it’s all over, what’s left to see!"

Medicine Spirit spread his hands, "Let’s wait for Princess Xiangxiang to return to the Imperial Palace and then bid her farewell!"

"Right, let’s go back."

"She should be finishing soon!"

Ning Qi said nothing and prepared to return to the rear garden.

"Master, look, isn’t there someone over there?"

Medicine Spirit suddenly noticed something and pointed to the distance they were heading.

"There is someone, but I don’t know where they are from."

Ning Qi merely glanced.

His aura did not diminish, and he descended directly.

He had actually sensed several times people observing the situation here while in the void above.

But those who discovered Ning Qi while in the void quickly left.

During this, some tried to challenge him, wanting to resist his majesty.

However, they were all scared away by Ning Qi.

This was all thanks to Emperor Xi, granting him the blood of an Upper Immortal.

Allowing these people to flee as soon as they felt his presence.

Their Immortal identities were conferred by people of the Immortal Race.

And Ning Qi was the one who conferred such titles upon them.

Who would go against themselves and smash their own rice bowl?

After Ning Qi returned to the rear garden, he found Li Fengrou was also there.

"You didn’t go out of the city with her, why did you come here?"

Ning Qi looked at her approaching and curiously asked.

"Upper Immortal, I thought about it all night and wondered if I could ask you for something."

Li Fengrou approached with a grave expression.

"Oh? What is it?"

Ning Qi responded with curiosity.

He didn’t know why she had come.

"Upper Immortal, can I leave with you, even if it means being your servant or maid."

"I want to cultivate alongside you."

Li Fengrou said and was about to kneel, requesting Ning Qi to take her in.

"You should give up on this idea!"

Ning Qi shook his head and directly refused her request.

"Upper Immortal, I’m sincere, please take me in."

Li Fengrou was already kneeling on the ground, "I want to become your disciple."
