The summer dawned rather early, so Qi Xing woke Xue Yi up and left in a hurry …

"Qi Xing, where is this master? Mount Great Woods is so big." Xue Yi shouted to Qi Xing. Xue Yi had slept soundly last night and was full of energy when she woke up in the morning.

"I'm not sure either. Let's look everywhere …" Helpless, Qi Xing could only come up with this plan.

The two of them circled around Great Woods Mountain but still did not discover the so-called expert. He could not help but feel a little disappointed. "Why don't we go back? Grandfather said it too. It's already been a few years, I don't know if he's still here …" Xue Yi said in disappointment.

"This won't do, we came all the way here. Moreover, Great Woods Mountain is not finished yet, it might even be right in front. Look at this road, it looks like someone has walked through it... Someone walked past … " Qi Xing suddenly came to his senses and smacked his head. "Why didn't I think of that before?" Qi Xing was extremely annoyed. "Xue Yi, come here quickly. Search along this road, you'll definitely find it."

Xue Yi's eyes lit up when she heard Qi Xing's shout. Were they about to find it...

Qi Xing brought Xue Yi around the 'footprints' before finally seeing a wide area. Qi Xing came out of the forest and his field of vision widened. Appearing in front of Xue Yi and Qi Xing was a small lake. At the edge of the lake was a small thatched hut. The two of them looked at each other and ran towards the thatched cottage.

"Who are you people?" Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of Qi Xing and Xue Yi. The two of them were shocked, causing Xue Yi to hide behind Qi Xing. Hearing the silhouette speak to the two of them, Qi Xing and Qi Xing then looked at the person in front of them. In front of Qi Xing was a beautiful woman in a plain white dress. The lady carried a long sword on her back, and Qi Xing could only see the hilt. The woman's skin was fair and her hair was tied up in a bun. Her eyes were sharp and her expression was cold. An unapproachable aura emanated from within. The woman stood in front of the thatched cottage, but her entire being seemed to form a natural scene with the beautiful lake behind her. She didn't seem out of place at all.

Qi Xing noticed the look in the woman's eyes as she stared at him. Qi Xing's heart skipped a beat. Qi Xing felt as if he was in an icehouse, cold sweat trickling down his back. Qi Xing quickly turned his head to the side. Xue Yi didn't feel too good either. She felt like she was being pierced by needles when being stared at by a woman. Xue Yi tightly held on to Qi Xing's arm.

"Who are you people? Why are you here?" Seeing the two of them in a daze, the woman spoke again. The sharpness in his tone lessened.

Qi Xing pulled Xue Yi and knelt down. "Please accept us as your disciples!" "Senior, please accept us as your disciples!" The two of them hurriedly kowtowed.

The lady was shocked, seeing the two of them like that, she frowned and waved her right hand: "Who are you, why should I take you as my disciples?" Qi Xing and Xue Yi wanted to continue kowtowing, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't bend down. What kind of method was this?

"We came from the Ning Family Village, it was us who wanted to come. My grandfather said that you are a hermit master, and he hopes to take you as his master. Please accept us! " Qi Xing said excitedly.

"Ning Family Village?" The woman pondered for a moment before asking uncertainly, "Are you Wang An's grandson?"

"Yes, we were adopted by Grandpa Wang." Qi Xing replied.

The woman's face turned cold as she said, "I am the one who should decide whether to accept a disciple or not, not Wang An! You can go back now. " After saying that, the woman left, leaving the two dumbstruck.

The Ghost Festival was about to begin. Today, he went to the village to burn paper for the deceased. Ye Zichen spoke up. Gentlemen, I have the nerve to request for a vote.
