“You and I are fated…” Liu Changgong said, “I don’t think you know your own name. Since you’re going to live together in the future, you can’t be without a name. Let me give you a name.”

“Okay, okay.”

The little girl was very happy and nodded repeatedly. “Thank you, Master. Thank you.”

“Don’t call me Master. Call me Big Brother. Calling me Master is weird.”

Liu Changgong immediately corrected her.

When the little girl heard that Liu Changgong was angry, she immediately became a little fearful and said timidly, “Is Master angry? I seem to have made Master angry…”

Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, Liu Changgong also immediately felt a little soft-hearted.

“Forget it, forget it. You can call me whatever you want!”

Liu Changgong also quickly comforted her.

He had a helpless look on his face. This form of address was really not good. When others heard it, they would think that he was something else.

What exactly had this little girl experienced! This kind of master-servant concept was actually deeply implanted in her heart. It was really impossible to correct and eradicate this kind of concept in a short period of time.

In fact, if he acted too hastily, it might even scare her. That was all for now. He would slowly remove the thing in the future.

“It’s not good for you to always call yourself someone else. How about this? You seem to like go very much, so you’ll be called Weiqi from now on. How about it?”

“Weiqi… Weiqi…”

The little girl softly muttered these two words. Her exquisite little face suddenly bloomed with a brilliant smile and she began to cheer and jump. “Weiqi, a good name. It’s really nice to hear! I’ll be called Weiqi from now on…”

Seeing that the little girl liked this name very much, Liu Changgong was relieved.

Immediately after, Liu Changgong specially gave Qi’er a new set of clothes, and then tied up her scattered hair.

After tidying up, Qi’er beautifully stood in front of Liu Changgong. She was wearing Liu Changgong’s clothes that were too long for her.

The sleeves were dragged to the ground, and her hair was tied up by Liu Changgong, but it was still dragging on the ground.

Because his clothes were too long, he was worried that she would trip over them. She always stopped every step he took, just like little student in a costume. Looking at her singing, chanting, and dancing, Liu Changgong couldn’t help but laugh.

“Let’s wear this for now. We’ll go to the nearby tailor shop in two days to make a few sets of clothes. Let’s just put this dress on for now…”

Liu Changgong said gently to chess. Weiqi nodded her head in a very sensible manner.

“Wu, wu, wu——”

The little fox’s cry suddenly sounded in his ear.

Liu Changgong turned around and saw the little white fox crying incessantly at the pieces of the chessboard on the ground.

“There’s also this thing.”

Liu Changgong hurriedly took his broom and dustpan and swept the pieces of the chessboard on the ground together. There were no shoes suitable for Weiqi at home, so he could only let her bare her feet first. If she accidentally stepped on them, her small feet would probably have a few wounds.

After sweeping up the pieces, Liu Changgong did not throw them away. Instead, he buried them in the mud in the courtyard. The main reason was that he was afraid that when the time came, he might reveal that Weiqi was here.

“If not, I won’t open the shop again for the next two days. I’ll hide Weiqi for a few months and wait for the news to pass. When no one is looking for her again, I’ll open the shop again.”

Liu Changgong was always a bit worried about the ‘cultivators’ behind those chess players.

“Also, there seems to be a big problem with Weiqi’s body…”

A worried expression also appeared on Liu Changgong’s face.

If it was possible, he still hoped that Qi’er was a normal child, and not someone who did not even have a heartbeat or a pulse, who was neither human nor ghost.

However, he did not really understand these things regarding immortal cultivation.

“Why don’t I ask Old Man Zhu, Yu Linglong, and the others when the time comes, and see if they have any methods or prescriptions…”

Liu Changgong had a very good idea in his mind. He wanted to try his best to help this poor little guy, Qi’er, return to normal.

…

At the entrance of Immortal’s Destiny Small Shop, two beams of light suddenly flashed from the distance.

Wang Yuyan and Zhu Zhao came over together.

“I wonder if Senior is at home today?”

Wang Yuyan was both expectant and nervous. After all, she was going to meet an ancestor-level figure of a sacred land later. His cultivation level was even higher than her master’s.

Therefore, it was understandable for her to be nervous.

If the Southern Domain’s cultivation geniuses saw her like this, their hearts would probably die. She was like a young girl who had just fallen in love, acting like a little girl.

Zhu Zhao put on an old-fashioned look and comforted her.

“Fairy Wang, don’t worry. Although Senior’s cultivation is high, he is a very good person. He doesn’t put on any airs and is very approachable.”

“You just need to remember what I told you before and treat him as a mortal in front of Senior Liu. Just treat him as a mortal. It’s best if you don’t mention anything about the cultivation world.”

Wang Yuyan’s face was serious.

“I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Daoist Master Zhu Zhao. This Senior Liu likes to play in the mortal world. It’s already unreasonable for us to come and disturb him. If we don’t know what’s good for us, won’t we be asking for trouble?”

“Fairy Wang is a smart person. You understand instantly.”

Zhu Zhao also praised her seriously. Then, he respectfully went forward and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock–

He only knocked three times. If no one opened the door after three times, then he would leave. No matter if there was anyone inside, it was possible that the person did not want to see him.

But this time, a voice quickly came out.

“The door is not open today. If you want to buy something, please come back after a while.”

Wang Yuyan heard the voice from inside and immediately moved. She had heard before that this senior was very young. He was very good at taking care of himself.

When she heard this voice today, she did not see any vicissitudes at all.

Wang Yuyan had already constructed the image of an otherworldly expert in her mind, with his white clothes fluttering in the wind like a banished immortal.

When she heard that Senior Liu did not seem to be willing to see any guests today, Zhu Zhao was not prepared to make things difficult for him.

“Sorry to disturb Sir’s rest. Zhu Zhao will leave now.”

He replied respectfully and turned around to leave.

However, just as he turned around, he heard Senior Liu’s voice coming from the door behind him.
