Chapter 201: Sect Master's Direct Disciple?
Qiu Wuji ran out to learn how to drive, while Chu Ge was left alone at home feeling lonely, but he didn’t have the regret of letting her go out, and he thought it was quite normal. As long as she’s still here, it’s good. The feeling of being separated between the real world and the world inside books is completely different from going out to play.
In fact, that feeling of uneasiness has reduced a lot now. With the increasing control over his own world, being able to enter the world and even bring people out, he no longer fears that he won’t be able to see her again, and he feels much more confident.
Now, he just needs to keep working hard, making the connection stronger and more flexible, preferably to the point where their true self could freely traverse between the worlds. This is related to the realism and acceptance of the world, and it won’t happen overnight.
At the very least, he should be able to stabilize his transformation into human form and go inside to play with Qiuqiu~, and try to stay longer. This should be related to his cultivation; at least his soul power needs to be able to sustain it.
The former ability cannot be “trained” to obtain, but the latter can be, and he was going to try it now.
Chu Ge took a pill and brewed a pot of spirit tea. Feeling the spiritual energy brought by the Jade Guanyin, he bathed in the surrounding spiritual energy, and his mind became clear and sharp. His thoughts flowed smoothly as he typed.
Gradually, the screen began to stretch and turned into a blue sky with white clouds, and below were towering mountains and flowing water. There were streams in the mountains, and the hot spring water was smooth.
Amidst the rising clouds and mist, the white snow and red cherry blossoms of the mountains emerged.
Chu Ge: “...”
Suddenly, a sword energy soared to the sky: “Go to hell, you perverted heaven!”
Chu Ge covered his head: “I didn’t do it on purpose! Who knew you’d be bathing here in broad daylight!”
The sword energy veered away, and below, light veils fluttered as Qiu Wuji, fully dressed, stood by the bath, looking up at the sky with an inflated expression.
Gradually, Chu Ge’s silhouette appeared above and slowly became solid, looking somewhat like a real person.
Qiu Wuji exclaimed, “Huh?” and saw Chu Ge fall naked into the water.
Qiu Wuji: “...”
Chu Ge: “...”
Qiu Wuji was expressionless, “Where are your clothes?”
“I don’t know how to transform clothes...”
“This is not your real body; it’s just a condensed form of your consciousness. Whatever you think in your mind becomes real. Just think of clothes, and you’ll have them! You subconsciously thought you couldn’t transform clothes, that’s why you don’t have any, or did you deliberately stay naked?”
“Oh? Really?” Chu Ge tried to think, and sure enough, a set of long-sleeved t-shirt slowly appeared on his body.
Qiu Wuji looked at him with disdain, then suddenly reached out with a gesture.
In the direction of the main peak of the sect, the disciple guarding the daily necessities warehouse saw a hand flying towards them, taking away a set of male disciple’s clothing.
Guarding disciple: “?”
A transmission from the sect master came from the sky, “It’s taken by me.”
Chu Ge almost laughed out loud but held back when he saw the expectant expression in Qiu Wuji’s cold eyes. He made a serious bow and said, “Disciple Chu Ge pays respects to Master.”
Qiu Wuji nodded slightly and turned around. “Follow me.”
In Zhu Mengmeng’s teahouse, Zhu Mengmeng and the female driving instructor looked strangely at Qiu Wuji in front of them. This girl had been acting like a fool since a while ago, holding a small teacup but not drinking from it, her face blushing, her eyes seemingly ready to shed tears of coquettishness.
In this ever-changing world of dreams and overlapping time, she didn’t care about having tea with them anymore; she had taken her little disciple away!
She walked gracefully through the mountains, and the light veils turned into intricate clouds and silk fabrics, while the sect master’s robe appeared dignified and solemn.
Chu Ge obediently followed beside her, looking at her, he couldn’t help but wonder if he was really a bit masochistic. Did this version of Qiu Wuji look even more beautiful than the one in pajamas hugging a teddy bear?
Qiu Wuji gazed ahead and said lightly, “Do you think this one looks better?”
Chu Ge: “Huh?”
“Pervert,” A wind swept by.
Chu Ge bumped into a tree with a loud “bang” and held his nose, humming, “I’m not... every version of Qiu Wuji is beautiful!”
“Hmph,” Qiu Wuji waved her sleeves, and a strong wind suddenly lifted him to another mountain peak.
Inside the administrative hall of the sect, the registration hall, several disciples were working. Chu Ge followed Qiu Wuji inside, finding it quite amusing.
Isn’t this the personnel department...? I wrote it in such detail!
The deacon was reprimanding a disciple who made a mistake, “Our sect’s monthly rules are strict! Different levels have their own regulations, and different positions have different allowances. There should be no omissions in the registration! Look at what you wrote? You just recorded that someone holds multiple positions? We are the top sword sect in the world, not some amateur troupe... Huh? Sect Master! Greetings, Sect Master!”
The disciples all kneeled down, bowing their heads in salute, “Disciples greet the Sect Master!”
Qiu Wuji nodded slightly, “Rise.”
The deacon cautiously glanced at the unfamiliar disciple behind Qiu Wuji, who was looking around curiously, and asked carefully, “Sect Master, who is this...?”
“This is Chu Ge,” Qiu Wuji brought him forward and introduced seriously, “My first direct disciple. Please record him in the registration.”
“Oh, I see. I’ll do it right away. Please proceed with-” The deacon started to say but then paused abruptly, raising his voice dramatically, “The Sect, the Sect Master’s direct disciple??!!”
The mountains echoed.
The disciples in the registration hall were stunned, and the entire administrative hall suddenly became chaotic, as a crowd of people rushed in from outside, astonished by the appearance of the Sect Master’s unknown direct disciple.
In a moment, the entire sect was in an uproar.
Within a day, the news spread across the martial world.
Sect Master Qiu Wuji, who had focused on cultivating for thousands of years, had taken a disciple...
And it was still a male disciple!
