ASV Chapter 14: To Be Chosen

Translator: Chrysanthemum Bud

Following Qing Xuzi's instructions, Qin Kaiyi bid Liu Ling'er farewell and left. He didn't know what Qing Xuzi wanted to speak to him about, but he guessed that it was related to the sudden appearance of the sky secret realm.

Arriving at Qing Xuzi's dongfu, Qin Kaiyi stood outside and waited for a while before he saw Qing Xuzi arriving slowly. Qing Xuzi had a slightly unsightly expression, as if he had argued with someone.

"Shifu." Qin Kaiyi respectfully saluted his shifu. He had a good impression of Qing Xuzi. Although this old man was a noble sect head, he never put on airs and he treated all his disciples equally. Qin Kaiyi remembered that Shen Feixiao became a disciple of Qing Xuzi after coming out of the secret realm. After that, Qing Xuzi's teaching laid a good foundation for Shen Feixiao's road to immortal cultivation. This old man apparently placed righteousness before all else.

"Qin'er, please sit down." Qing Xuzi waved to Qin Kaiyi, let him sit down first, and then sighed heavily.

"Shifu, is there something wrong?" Qin Kaiyi looked at Qing Xuzi's solemn expression and asked, pondering.

"Nothing's wrong." Qing Xuzi looked at Qin Kaiyi sitting in front of him and sighed involuntarily again. Qin Shi began to follow him when he was just six years old, and he even regarded this talented disciple as a son. As the sect head, he obtained many benefits for this disciple, so that this disciple entered the foundation period early.

But the unfortunate part of his love for Qin Shi was how he spoiled him. Because he protected Qin Shi so well, this disciple rarely had the opportunity to participate in actual combat. Qing Xuzi was extremely aware of the importance of actual combat to a cultivator. In other words, reading thousands of books was not as good as traveling thousands of miles yourself. If you only bitterly immersed yourself in cultivating and neglected actual combat, you might miserably fall into decline.

Moreover, Qin Shi was about to enter the stage of cultivating the heart, so Qing Xuzi was still uncertain about whether he should send his favorite disciple into the secret realm.

Qin Kaiyi of course didn't know about Qing Xuzi's deliberations. He thought Qing Xuzi was mulling over how to tell Qin Kaiyi that he couldn't enter the secret realm. If only he knew–Qing Xuzi loved him so dearly that if Qin Kaiyi insisted on entering, Qing Xuzi would have to agree.

"Shifu, I don't know if you are worrying about the secret realm?" Qin Kaiyi noticed Qing Xuzi's agitated expression and asked.

"Qin'er, are you in the middle of foundation building now?" Qing Xuzi looked at Qin Kaiyi.

"Yes." Qin Kaiyi hesitated, but answered honestly.

"What do you think of the secret realm that appeared suddenly this time?" Qing Xuzi gazed at Qin Kaiyi and carefully observed his expression.

"The secret realm is closely related to the future of the Lingshan Sect. Qin Shi is only a disciple in the foundation building period, and really does not dare to recklessly speak." Qin Kaiyi decided to be conservative: "As long as it is shifu deciding, this disciple is willing to give his full support."

"Really." A glint of satisfaction appeared in Qing Xuzi's eyes. He paused for a moment and said: "Qin'er, do you want to enter the sky secret realm?"

Hey, why would Qing Xuzi ask him such a question? Qin Kaiyi felt a touch of apprehension in his heart when he heard this question, but he didn't think too much. He said directly: "Shifu, although this disciple also wants to see the magic weapons in the secret realm, this disciple knows that with just his foundation building stage cultivation, he will definitely cause trouble to others who enter the secret realm, so... "
