Ximen Qing (3)

A-Qings eyes widened.

Even with her lacking common sense and limited knowledge, A-Qing knew that to learn martial arts, one must become a disciple, and to become a disciple, one must join a sect.

No, to be honest, she didnt know at first.

But she found out while looking to learn various martial arts in the early stages of her journey.

I dont need to join the Divine Maiden Sect?

Let me be honest with you. The talent of a baby not yet twenty who has reached the Late-Stage Peak Realm is very desirable. There wouldnt be a teacher in Jianghu who wouldnt want her.

A-Qing was surprised.

Am I that young?

Baby?

My figure isnt exactly girlish, though.

And her face was already the lowest score possible in terms of looks.

Baby. Perchance. Do you not know your age?

Probably.

And the name A-Qing was also made by you?

Yes.

To be more precise it was Ctrl+C, V. She copied and pasted it.

After all, the post said only then would she be given Purple Martial Arts.

What is your original surname?

I dont know that either

Ximen Surins expression turned into one of pity.

It was the same misunderstanding as a certain someone from Hebei.

Oh my, you poor baby. How did you grow up so well in such hardship? How admirable. You are truly lovely.

A-Qing just awkwardly laughed off her words because she didnt know how to reply.

I see. But still, you did seem to have some luck finding a teacher.

A teacher?

.You dont have a teacher either? Then where did you learn your martial arts?

I just happened to get to know it..

Self-taught?

I guess?

A-Qing replied in the form of a question.

After all, it wasnt a martial art learned through a proper nor standard method.

Ximen Surins expression turned to one of shock.

The pure and profluent flow was clearly the meridians of orthodox Daoism. And wasnt it clearly a cultivation technique that is not lacking to be called a Divine Art? What an exceptionally curious coincidence. What is the name of that Qinggong? That cultivation technique?

The Yue Maiden Cultivation Technique.

Ximen Surin slapped her knee.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

Oho! So that is why you are A-Qing. How truly amazing! I thought such a Divine Art only existed in legends, yet here its master is, right before my very eyes. Indeed, the Heaven and Earth of Jianghu is vast and there is so much humans do not know! But

Bonk! A noogie flew towards A-Qings head.

Escape? There was no escape. The bonk came at the speed of light.

An impact so shocking that it shook her skull.

It was practically a nuclear noogie, shot from an ICBM.

A-Qings eyes instantly welled up with tears as Ximen Surin spoke sternly.

How can you answer every question so readily? You foolish and lacking and naive girl. If people knew of your martial arts, the entire world would chase after you out of greed, Baby. You are lucky to have survived until now. Tsk tsk.

Oooh.

She gained yet another piece of precious knowledge.

The Madam was like a common sense vending machine.

Every time she tapped it a bit, important knowledge and wisdom just cascaded out.

Oooh? What a rude habit of speech! Do you really think that such words should even come from a babys mouth?

Its just thatI got used to saying it

I see. Since you are a baby, perhaps it is possible for that to happen.

Though A-Qing wasnt sure what she meant, for now, she nodded anyway.

Haa. You are like a baby left by the water. If you go into the secular world like this, your life will not last long.

After all, it directly led to the formation of a dantian. Thus, no Master would feel burdened to take her under their wing.

She must have been prepared to beg and even lay down her own life. She wouldve most likely pleaded to save her childs life at the cost of hers. That since she had already consumed an elixir, she could be guided easily.

Ah

That damned bitch! Since she had already betrayed her sect, how could she possibly know what attainment this Matriarch reached?! There is no way she wouldve known! Ha!

The Matriarch had already reached stupendous achievements decades ago.

She was now in a realm where she could control the overflowing and destructive Pure Yin Energy, thus being able to create a dantian.

There wasnt a need for Qi Transmission in the first place.

If she had just brought the child, the Matriarch would have saved Jin Jangmyeong.

It was unnecessary from the start, yet

If she had known Jin Jangmyeongs Constitution and brought her immediately

No matter how heinous her crime, the Matriarch couldnt have killed the mother of the child she saved with her own hands.

And thus, the father would not have had to lose his life either.

Furthermore, the Lord of the Yang Clan of Xinjiang would have eventually been injured whilst fighting the Demonic Cannibal, but the child would have already been rooted in the Divine Maiden Sect.

As such, the great clan that had long defended the East Sea against foreign invaders wouldnt have been scammed

This is precisely what karma is. One evil deed plunged many into a pit of sorrow; such is the nature of Evil Karma.

Ximen Surin solemnly advised.

So, Baby, you must remember this well. Especially since you carry the most ominous star.

-

A-Qing didnt know anything about martial arts fiction.

Therefore, she was also unaware of the relationship between a teacher and a disciple in the Central Plains.

In the Central Plains, a teacher was akin to a master.

Essentially, a teacher was on par with ones parents.

But to a modern Korean, who did not distinguish between an educator and a teacher, the relationship between master and disciple was taken far too lightly.

This was the biggest reason why A-Qing so casually accepted becoming a disciple.

Moreover, A-Qing longed for warmth. She was starving for it.

It was natural for her to be completely taken by Ximen Surin, who exuded the vibes of a grandmother.

As such, A-Qing kowtowed deeply to Ximen Surin, accepting her as her teacher.

And then

If you go into Jianghu as you are now, Disciples life will be in danger. It is highly likely to be cut short. Therefore, hiding your identity will be the priority.

Hiding my identity?

Indeed. Disciples face is already well-known. Moreover, since you have made enemies with a Transcendent Realm Master, you must reach the same realm to be able to live, much less plan your future. Until then, it is wise to hide your identity.

Ah.

She hadnt thought about it that way.

The extent of her deliberation consisted of just fighting if it seemed easy and run away if otherwise.

After all, A-Qing was confident in her Movement Techniques.

So, from now on, lets call you Ximen Qing.

Men-Qing. Then, from now on, Ill go by Men-Qing. Ill share the same surname as Teacher, right?

After all, whether it was Men-Qing or A-Qing, it was all the same to her.

Receiving a surname felt a bit burdensome, but since everyone in Jianghu seemed to use surnames, it would be strange to use only a given name.

Then, am I now a Xi?

Come to think of it, I could have just used my original surna-

THWACK!

AHH!

A-Qing screamed due to the terrible pain.

It was an uncontrolled screech that burst out instinctively.

It was a hydrogen noogie, surpassing even the nuclear noogie.

Fucking hell, what kind of bonk is this?

Couldnt it have split my head open? Am I not bleeding?

As A-Qing rubbed her head, she intermittently checked her fingertips.

Still, there doesnt seem to be any blood, huh. I thought I was bleeding for a second, goddamn.
