Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation with the game panel

After the opening ceremony of the competition, Shi Yan left.

Hua Qingyi looked at his departing back with a bit of disappointment. She squatted down and asked Shen Xiuqi, "Can you arrange for me to do odd jobs for the Sect Master?"

"......" Shen Xiuqi looked at her inexplicably: "The Sect Master never uses menial servants, so forget it. Even if he does, I don't have the ability to influence who the Sect Master uses......"

"Alas..." Hua Qingyi held her face with a little sadness: "It takes a long time to see him, it would be nice if I could see him every day..."

A trace of desolation flashed across Shen Xiuqi's face, and then he half-jokingly said, "If you have the ability to get the sect master to accept you as a disciple, you can see me every day."

"Hey? What you said makes sense." Hua Qingyi looked at him with her round eyes as if she had just woken up from a dream, like a defenseless little animal.

Shen Xiuqi swallowed his saliva and said, "Then you have to have some skills."

The territory of Lingyuan Sect is located among mortal cities, and even the structure of the sect's buildings follows local customs. The sect master lives in Canghe Pavilion of the inner gate. Canghe Pavilion is the largest residence of the inner gate, which includes three palaces and sixteen courtyards. Of course, those courtyards are for the sect master's disciples to live in, and the layout is also different.

Shi Yan has no disciples, and now he is the only one living in Canghe Pavilion. With Hua Qingyi's current status, if he wants to see Shi Yan, he can only see him from afar on more important occasions within the sect.

She couldn't get even a step closer to the Canghe Pavilion.

However, not long after, she suddenly saw Shi Yan in the square of the inner gate.

Under the moonlight, he stood alone in the center of the square, staring at the tall stone tablet opposite, on which were engraved the sect precepts of successive leaders of the Lingyuan Sect.

He seemed to be struggling with something in his heart, so much so that he didn't even notice when Hua Qingyi approached.

"Master, why are you standing here so late?" Hua Qingyi asked with concern.

Shi Yan suddenly came back to his senses, turned his head and glanced at her, his eyes flickering slightly: "I have nothing to do, so I came out for a walk."

After he said that, he prepared to leave, and it seemed that he didn't want to say more.

Hua Qingyi hurriedly chased after him: "Are you in a bad mood?"

"No." He said calmly.

"I heard that many people in the world of immortal cultivation have died inexplicably recently. You've been very busy lately. Are you also worried about this?"

Shi Yan remained silent and did not answer.

"Everyone is saying that the forbidden technique from hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Way of Fate, has been reborn. Is that true?"

Shi Yan stopped and turned to look at her: "You seem to be very concerned about these?"

Hua Qingyi shook his head: "No, it's just that everyone is discussing it, and I have heard it to some extent. I thought that as the leader of a sect, your disciples are frequently killed, you must be very sad and under a lot of pressure..."

Shi Yan continued to walk forward: "The culprit will eventually be punished."

Hua Qingyi nodded: "At first, the Way of Fate was sealed in the East Continent Sea, which is the territory of the Chaos King. If it is the Way of Fate that is causing chaos now, could it be related to the Chaos King?"

Shi Yan lowered his eyes, "Not necessarily. The way of destiny once originated from a small sect. Maybe that sect has some inheritance left behind."

Hua Qingyi looked at him and suddenly thought of something, "I heard that you don't have a disciple yet. In these troubled times, it would be great if you could have a disciple to help you share the responsibilities and pressures. You can get twice the result with half the effort when doing things."

Shi Yan didn't say anything.

She continued, "Master, what do you think of me?"

"Although I am a spirit demon and don't need to practice, I can still learn the way of runes. I have recently learned a lot of rune spells from Shen Xiuqi. He said that I am very talented!"

Shi Yan stopped and looked at her: "You are extremely talented, and you must have a special status among the spirit monsters. Why do you have to stay in Lingyuan Sect and do menial work?"

Hearing this, Hua Qingyi was rarely shy for a moment: "Because... because you are the most powerful rune cultivator, I came to Lingyuan Sect to worship you as my master and learn rune spells from you..."

Shi Yan looked at her calmly, and it was hard to tell what his reaction was.

Just when Hua Qingyi thought there was no hope, he suddenly said, "If you want to be my disciple, you must pass my assessment."

This immediately perked up Hua Qingyi: "What kind of test? I'm willing to give it a try!"

Shi Yan showed a barely perceptible smile on his face: "If that's the case, then from now on you will be my errand disciple and follow me to gain experience."

"Ah?" Hua Qingyi was stunned for a moment.

Shi Yan glanced at her calmly and said, "Of course, you can quit at any time if you don't want to, but once you quit, you will have to leave Lingyuan Sect."

"Of course I would!" Hua Qingyi laughed.

She just didn't expect that Shi Yan was actually so easy to talk to. Before this, she had tried her best to persuade the elders but no one was willing to accept her as a disciple. However, this sect leader was willing to give her a chance to gain experience.

She admired in her heart: He is worthy of being the one I like, he is so kind!

......

Hua Qingyi hummed a tune while packing her things, while Shen Xiuqi leaned against the door frame beside her and watched her.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's just a change of job, are you so happy?"

Hua Qingyi nodded: "Of course, I will be with Shi Yan every day in the future, so I will be happy~"

"That's the Sect Master, how can you call him by his name?" Shen Xiuqi said dissatisfiedly: "I won't be able to protect you anymore, you better take care of yourself..."

Hua Qingyi packed up his things and when he left, he walked to Shen Xiuqi and handed him a box full of top-grade spirit stones.

"I'm grateful for your care during this period. I asked you before if there was anything you wanted, but you never told me. Now I'm leaving. These spirit stones are my thank you gift. Keep them!"

Shen Xiuqi looked at the heavy spirit stone in his hand with complicated eyes, and couldn't help but complain: "You said that as if you will never see it again."

Hua Qingyi smiled and said, "Of course, I will come back to see you guys when I have time!"

Shen Xiuqi sighed and opened his arms: "A farewell hug."

Hua Qingyi walked around and said in a provocative tone: "Elder Shen, men and women should not touch each other!"

Shen Xiuqi dropped his arms in disappointment, and watched her hopping towards the direction of Canghe Pavilion.

Hua Qingyi held the token given to her by Shi Yan and entered Canghe Pavilion smoothly.

Shi Yan seemed to be waiting for her. When he saw her coming, he pointed to the palace on the left and said, "You can live there first. Pack up today and come with me tomorrow."

Hua Qingyi settled down in Canghe Pavilion, saying that he was there to take care of Shi Yan's menial disciple, but in fact, Shi Yan did many things by himself and it was not Hua Qingyi's turn to intervene.

What she did most every day was to follow behind Shi Yan and look at the back of his head.
