I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 147 Apprenticeship Ceremony

Just when Xiaoqi thought she had encountered a ghost, the "ghost" she had chased away returned.

He walked through the ceiling and bumped right into Xiao Qi, who was standing on the bed.

The two stared at each other, and suddenly, Xiao Qi's fist was about to strike again without warning. Lu Xiaowu quickly grabbed her wrist and said urgently, "Stop hitting her, we're on the same side."

"Bullshit, I don't even know you."

Xiao Qi didn't believe it at all, but she found that this "ghost" was stronger than her. She couldn't even lift the arm whose wrist he was holding. She tried to hit him with her other hand, but he held it too.

Both arms are completely immobile.

Do you know Yu Qingge?

Not wanting to cause any more misunderstandings, Lu Xiaowu quickly revealed his master's name.

She placed her soul in her sea of ​​consciousness and gave her her storage ring. Surely she must know her name.

Sure enough, as soon as he mentioned that name, the little girl instantly stopped her tantrum and calmed down, though her eyes still held a wary look as she looked at him.

"Let go."

"So you're not going to take action, are you?"

"will not."

Lu Xiaowu was relieved and released his grip on her arms.

However, the next second he was kicked away by the little girl again. Fortunately, unlike before, he was not caught off guard. After being kicked to the wall, he controlled his body and floated back.

"You little brat, how can you go back on your word?"

“How am I going back on my word?” Meng Qi said matter-of-factly. “I didn’t lay a hand on him.”

Kicking you is letting you off easy. Even if you're one of our own, if someone sneaks up to her bedside in the middle of the night and touches her face, he's lucky he won't be beaten to death today.

When I see my master, I'll definitely complain about this thing. Who is it?

Meng Qi noticed that the man in front of her was dressed very similarly to her master, both wearing long robes like ancient costumes. And both were white, like mourning clothes.

So when he said he knew his master, Mengqi believed him to be about 70-80% of the time.

"Who are you?"

"who are you?"

Once they calmed down, the two spoke almost simultaneously, then stopped at the same time, glaring at each other.

"Sit down and talk."

Meng Qi sat cross-legged on the bed, then leaned over and snapped on the bedside lamp.

The moment the orange light came on, Lu Xiaowu raised an eyebrow. So this cover was for lighting, huh? It seemed convenient, but it wasn't very bright.

He pointed to the silver bracelet on Meng Qi's wrist and said, "There's a luminous pearl inside, brighter than this one."

Meng Qi became wary and looked at him suspiciously, "How did you know?"

Not only did they know it was a storage ring, they even knew it contained a luminous pearl!
Could it be that his master told him?
So what exactly is his relationship with his master?
Meng Qi was about to ask when she saw him chuckle, "That's my storage ring. Of course I know exactly what's inside and how much stuff is in it."

Meng Qi's mind went blank for a moment, and she immediately opened her mouth wide.

Lu Xiaowu chuckled when he saw the little girl's completely surprised and blank expression.

"Don't worry, since Master gave it to you, it's yours, and I won't take it back. However, you need to explain to me how you and Master met, right?"

After Lu Xiaowu finished speaking, he pointed to a single sofa opposite Meng Qi and asked, "Is this for sitting?" Meng Qi snapped out of her daze and nodded blankly, "Sit down."

Lu Xiaowu walked over, first lifting the hem of his shirt behind his back, and sat down in a very formal and dignified manner, just like the ancient people he saw on TV. However, when his buttocks touched the sofa, he sank in completely, and in the end, he had to gather his magic power to barely stick his head out.

Slightly disheveled, Lu Xiaowu sighed as he stepped out of the sofa. He blamed himself for always forgetting the difference between the soul and the physical body, thinking he was still the same person he used to be.

Finally, he simply used magic to levitate himself and sit cross-legged on the opposite side of the bed.

Meng Qi looked at him suspiciously, feeling that something was off.

"Cough, it's nothing, don't worry about it."

Meng Qi nodded and then got to the point, "Yu Qingge is my master. She took me in as her disciple as soon as I was born. She gave me the storage ring as a gift for becoming her disciple."

A ceremony for taking a master?
Lu Xiaowu couldn't help but twitch his lips. Using his things as a gift for becoming a disciple—that was truly his master's style!
"It's your turn," Meng Qi said, raising her chin at him.

"What a coincidence, Yu Qingge is also my master. When I was three years old, my family was massacred, and my master saved me. After that, I became her disciple and returned to the sect with her. I am the fifth disciple my master took in, so most people call me Lu Xiaowu. My real name is Lu Xuanyi, and my courtesy name is Xingyun."

"So you're the Fifth Senior Brother."

"Yes, Eighth Junior Sister."

Eighth Junior Sister?
Meng Qi was stunned and asked in surprise, "Master named me Xiao Qi, doesn't that mean I'm her seventh disciple?"

Lu Xiaowu was also stunned. Could it be that his master missed his seventh junior sister too much and wanted her to live on in his place?

Probably.

Ugh.
He felt a mix of emotions and a rather unpleasant feeling.

"Fifth Senior Brother, have you really been in my sea of ​​consciousness all along?"

When she was little, she didn't know what the white light was, and once even thought it was a sleep bug. But in the last two years, as she grew older and her cultivation level increased, her sea of ​​consciousness expanded, and the white light that belonged to her gradually began to take the shape of an embryo.

Then her master told her that the white light contained the soul of her fifth senior brother.

As for why it was placed in her sea of ​​consciousness, she didn't ask. Anyway, it didn't affect her. Usually, when she encountered life-threatening danger, this senior brother would come out to help.

It's even more effective than a talisman, it's great.

"Yes, it's always been inside. Your sea of ​​consciousness is something you were born with, and it helps nourish my soul."

Lu Xiaowu's answer was somewhat somber, perhaps related to the previous topic. He called her Eighth Junior Sister, but her master had always given her the impression that she should be the seventh.

However, Mengqi felt it would be better to ask her master about this personally when they returned to Qingshui Town.

She then asked about another topic that interested her, "Now that you're awake, does that mean your soul has been properly nurtured and no longer needs to stay in my sea of ​​consciousness?"

Whether the amulet will continue to exist is very important.

"I will have to stay inside until I solidify into a physical form."

That means the amulet is still there.

Meng Qi couldn't say whether she was happy or unhappy, because with her current strength, she rarely encountered any human or demon who could threaten her life.

Of course, this is only up to now. She hasn't entered the Grand Canyon yet, nor has she encountered the demon that can trap people in a time illusion, or the ghost cat with multiple tails. Many dangers and factors are still uncertain.

At this moment, she undoubtedly needed help.

They need to clean up the Grand Canyon as soon as possible and eliminate all the demons present. This will at least ensure that no more demons will try to break through the world's membrane and open the secret passage.
