Chapter 52: Chapter 51 Tang Qingzhu

By the riverbank, the atmosphere was serene, a strand of sunrise appeared, and all things were reborn anew.

Yuchi was already meeting with the young girl.

He could clearly see her spiritual root, surprisingly it was an eighth-grade Wind Spirit Root, which was extraordinary, just shy of perfection.

Under normal circumstances, Yuchi should be very happy now, ready to persuade the girl to become his disciple.

In reality, Yuchi had no such thoughts at all now.

It was fine to joke around usually, harmlessly, but now because he was a "person," he should follow a human’s perspective.

"Little sister, what’s your name?" Yuchi smiled.

"Tang Qingzhu."

"A beautiful name, so where is your home? I’ll take you back." Yuchi asked with a smile.

The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen, her complexion pale.

She didn’t appear as mature as Wei Yuan at first glance, but her calmness exceeded Yuchi’s expectations.

Indeed.

Tang Qingzhu had only been awake for a dozen breaths, and she just looked at the surrounding corpses and accepted the situation.

There was no fear, not even a single tear.

If it wasn’t for a broad mind, then it must be a powerful cold disposition.

Her long hair was wet and pressed against her armor, while her arm continued to stream with blood.

These were cuts from the stones along the riverbank.

Tang Qingzhu did not respond to Yuchi’s question.

She stood up, and just as Yuchi lifted his head along her face, she knelt before Yuchi.

"Senior, please take me as a disciple."

Tang Qingzhu kowtowed heavily, her forehead striking the stone on the riverbank.

She could understand the situation around her.

Clearly, Yuchi had come last night and handled everything well.

And here, deep in the mountains, the surroundings were even more deserted.

Would a young person showing up here be just a normal person?

Seeing her determined behavior, Yuchi frowned and shook his head, "I won’t take you in. Where’s your home, I’ll take you back?"

The girl was stunned, kneeling at the riverbed, her eyes filled with incomprehension.

Why wouldn’t he take me as a disciple?

"Senior, I have an eighth-grade Wind Spirit Root. If you take me as your disciple, you won’t regret it."

Tang Qingzhu said resolutely.

An eighth-grade Wind Spirit Root is such a terrifying talent, which means there will be very few obstacles on the path of cultivation!

With just a bit of training, she could surely become a powerful figure.

"I won’t," Yuchi still shook his head.

Tang Qingzhu listened, stunned for a while.

Gathering her senses, looking at Yuchi’s expression was slightly desolate yet determined.

She undressed.

Undressing completely in front of Yuchi.

The armor fell onto the riverbank, making a splattering sound.

Tang Qingzhu faced Yuchi, standing quietly, as decisive as a blood-stained plum blossom.

Yuchi sighed.

His gaze had no trace of evasion, he just watched her actions calmly.

When the fair maiden stood before him, Yuchi remained.

"I will not take you as a disciple."

"Where’s your home, I’ll take you back." He repeated the same sentence.

To be honest.

If Tang Qingzhu had been born normally, he would surely ask her to become his disciple.

Just like Qinghan or Feiling, although their births were somewhat difficult, in essence, they didn’t need any talk of revenge.

A very simple eternal youth.

What about this girl named Tang Qingzhu?

To Yuchi, he felt if he accepted Tang Qingzhu and let her gain strength.

Then the hatred in her eyes would lead her to die on the path of revenge.

This was evident at first glance.

So would Yuchi watch Tang Qingzhu march towards her death for some increases in his cultivation?

Not at all.

Then find out where her home is, and send her back, let her find her parents.

Perhaps this was the best action.

What she needed now was not a master, but a warm family.

"Senior, I have no home anymore."

Tang Qingzhu replied, standing quietly before Yuchi, expressionless, yet with two streaks of bloody tears down her cheeks.

The river breeze blew across her body, and Yuchi could smell the scent of blood from her wounds.

His gaze was dazed for a moment.

Coming back to his senses, with a gesture, a robe appeared in his hand, he stood up to drape the robe over her.

Yuchi said, "I know you have difficulties, but I can’t watch you die, your resentment is too great now."

It’s clear to anyone, that to make a girl undress in front of him, how great must the hatred be?

And her body covered in wounds from the stones, she doesn’t even feel pain?

It should be known that last night the Elixir had already been given to her, these wounds were noticeably fresh.

Even though Tang Qingzhu hadn’t mentioned revenge directly, her eyes were too blatant.

Yuchi didn’t want to harm her, but should he keep being at odds with Tang Qingzhu?

That’s not an option either.

"Senior, will you not accept me?"

"No, I won’t."

"Alright."

The girl’s temperament was particularly fierce. Upon hearing Yuchi’s refusal, she looked around at the deep forest surrounding them.

Realizing she couldn’t leave, and that the other party wouldn’t take her in, revenge seemed hopeless.

Living held no meaning.

She chose to drown herself.

Yuchi was utterly stunned.

Frozen on the spot, he hurriedly managed to fish her out, looking at her, now back to her original bare state.

He could only chuckle bitterly.

Standing wet by the riverside, "Girl, although this clothing is a mundane thing, at the end of the day, it still requires silver."

"Tang Qingzhu, what exactly do you want to do?" Yuchi asked with some displeasure.

"Please teach me martial arts, Senior. Even if I can’t repay you now, once I gain strength, I’ll do whatever it takes to repay you!"

A truly noble sentiment of doing whatever it takes!

Girl, I can’t bear this burden.

Yuchi felt a tingling on his scalp hearing this.

Without experiencing someone’s hardships, don’t persuade them to do good.

He didn’t know what happened to Tang Qingzhu, but he couldn’t just watch her die, could he?

Such a fateful encounter.

There’s no choice.

Yuchi said, "How about this: I’ll take you to my place, and you stay with me for a year."

"If after a year you still want to become my disciple, then I’ll agree."

"How about it?"

This was the best solution Yuchi could offer.

What’s it like?

It’s like seeing a girl full of rage on the roadside, about to attack a thousand people.

Yuchi couldn’t just hand her a knife and let her get revenge, could he?

What a foolish action that would be.

The correct approach should be to stabilize first, even if revenge is needed later, rushing in headlong isn’t wise.

The consequences would be dire.

Tang Qingzhu shook her head, "Senior, I really can’t wait for a year."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi was the one now displeased.

"If you can’t even wait a year, what good are your martial arts for?"

"You’ll just end up dead."

"I’m embarrassed for you."

The path of cultivation is immensely long; a year is nothing. The growth of character is far better than the increase in strength a thousand times over.

What will you do if you go insane in the future?

Of course, Tang Qingzhu’s response just confirmed Yuchi’s suspicions even more.

It seemed this girl wanted to buy a knife and just go attack people?

How explosive is that temper?

Tang Qingzhu fell silent.

"Just tell me if it’s okay or not," Yuchi continued, "Otherwise, you’re already a dead person, dying here doesn’t matter."

"And after you die, I’ll forcibly take advantage of you."

"Who wouldn’t seize a free opportunity?"

Yuchi said intentionally.

Fear finally appeared in Tang Qingzhu’s eyes, shrinking her neck, she eventually agreed.

"Senior, I will listen to you," she said.

"Isn’t that settled?" Yuchi sighed in relief; it wasn’t easy.

Understanding revenge is understandable, repay kindness with kindness, and grievances with grievances.

But don’t be impulsive.

At least when Tang Qingzhu was clearly at a low point in life, trying to pull her up first was the most crucial.

Revenge is important, but life is not only about revenge, or else it’s just too tragic.

"Then remember, you already owe me a hundred taels of silver," Yuchi said.

"What?" Tang Qingzhu was immediately puzzled.

"I gave you an Elixir; otherwise, you wouldn’t have woken up before," Yuchi rolled his eyes.

"...I understand." Tang Qingzhu nodded, immediately kneeling, "Thank you, Senior, for saving my life."

"You’re welcome; first follow me back, calm down for a day; later, I still have some questions to ask you."

Yuchi took off his own coat, "Make do with it for now."

"Yes." Tang Qingzhu took the garment and obediently put it on.

Yuchi, dressed in his undergarments, surveyed the situation around and began to bury the remains.

Tang Qingzhu silently helped from the side.

In the afternoon.

Once things were handled, Yuchi took Tang Qingzhu away from the place.

The matter of finding a disciple came to a halt today; the Immortal Jade was hidden by the riverbank, it could emerge again when there’s a chance in the future.

First, go back and see what was really going on with Tang Qingzhu.
