"If the child were to fall, it would mean that the Shangguan Family would lose its greatest hope for nothing."
"On the other hand, no matter how strong a girl is, compared to a man, even if she has a weak side. Furthermore, a girl knows how to protect herself better. Also, a girl would be less ambitious than a boy. She would not forget her roots and would take care of her family more meticulously … With an immortal to serve as a deterrence from afar, I believe that the Shangguan Family would not decline for thousands of years. This is the long-term plan. "
Old Mistress Shangguan hesitated as she spoke, feeling that all her thoughts could not be hidden from this immortal. It would not be good to hide anything. Finally, in one breath, he said all the words that were hidden in the deepest part of his mind, "There's one more thing. With Lingxiu's pure heart and graceful appearance … If she can establish herself in the Immortal Dao, the husband she finds in the future will definitely be an outstanding talent of his generation!
"If that's the case, the Shangguan Family would only be sending one away, but there's a high chance that we would gain two or even more guardians! This is where my greatest selfishness lies. "
Old Mistress smiled. "This way, while fulfilling Lingxiu's own wish, we can also secure a prosperous future for the family … I think it's not a loss no matter what."
The lady in white smiled warmly and said, "Old Mistress, your words speak of sincerity."
Old Mistress chuckled humorlessly. "How would I dare to hide anything from you?"
The lady in white smiled and looked at Shangguan Lingxiu. "Your name is Shangguan Lingxiu?"
"Yes," Shangguan Lingxiu answered with a lowered brow.
"Born in the year of Bing Zi, I'm twenty-three years old this year." The lady in white said, "What's rarer is the Phoenix Physique. Her meridians are unobstructed, and she has the quality of Heavenly Yin. Her body is perfect … Although her chakras are limited by this world and do not close themselves, it's only a temporary flaw that can be easily resolved. It's only a matter of course for her to progress a thousand miles in the future … Not bad, not bad indeed!"
Old Mistress Shangguan and Old Mistress Shangguan were overwhelmed with shock.
They had just met, and Old Mistress had not told her anything about Shangguan Lingxiu, but she was able to recite all of it as if she was familiar with it. There was not a single mistake in it.
"Are you willing to come with me? To be my disciple? "The lady in white asked with a smile.
"Lingxiu is willing."
The woman in white smiled and said, "Is there anything unfinished business before you leave?"
Shangguan Lingxiu blushed, her eyes reddening as well as she said, "Could you … Immortal, please give me some time?"
The woman in white said indifferently, "I can only give you four hours at most."
Shangguan Lingxiu was at a loss when she heard that, not knowing how to react for a moment.
The woman in white said, "I'm not being unreasonable. Firstly, this world's level is low, and it's hard for you to bear my Ultimate Heaven's Power. Four hours is already the limit. Secondly, since you've vowed to step on this heaven-defying path, then you have to learn to get used to everything from now on."
"The so-called pinnacle of martial arts has always been too high, too cold, and too … lonely. Even if it's high, it's cold at the top."
The lady in white sighed and took a good look at Shangguan Lingxiu, saying, "Although your destiny is extremely good … it is destined that you will not be able to participate in more of this world's turmoil."
Shangguan Lingxiu sighed softly and said, "This disciple understands."
"What do you understand?" The lady in white asked.
Shangguan Lingxiu said sorrowfully, "Once I start cultivating … time flies, the road is long … the stars are separated, I'm afraid …"
"Immortals and mortals are different, it has always been so …" The lady in white said.
The old mistress said softly, "I'll leave Lingxiu to you in the future … I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for her return … everything will …"
Her voice choked as she spoke.
The lady in white said softly, "Don't worry, Old Mistress. I'll take good care of Lingxiu once she's my disciple. As long as she cultivates diligently, I can guarantee that her life will be smooth and her wishes will come true. No one will dare provoke her in the entire universe. It's only a matter of time before no one dares to bully her as she roams the universe. "
She smiled proudly. "Even the ten brothers who roam the universe without a care in the world … will have to think twice if they want to bully my disciple. Most of them will give up after they've thought it through."
His words were truly domineering and domineering.
It was a pity that Old Mistress Shangguan and Shangguan Lingxiu had no idea who the ten brothers who roamed the universe without a care in the world were. Naturally, they were not in awe of them. They were more shocked by the so-called Ultimate Heaven's Force. Tianxuan Continent could not even resist it for more than four hours. What kind of level and level of power was that?
However, Shangguan Lingxiu's new master was so boastful that Old Mistress Shangguan's heart was finally at ease.
It seemed that her granddaughter's immortal master was quite impressive. The Ultimate Heaven's Force sounded grand and impressive …
"Let's call her that for now. We'll go through the apprenticeship ceremony when we return." The lady in white smiled gently. "Lingxiu is the first disciple I've taken in my life, and I'm afraid she'll be the only one. This ceremony can't be small, and the gifts that should be received won't be little either. We'll have to plunder them when the time comes. "
Old Mistress Shangguan felt even more assured when she heard that.
As the saying went, a small clue would reveal a big picture. This beautiful immortal had high hopes for Shangguan Lingxiu. She had yet to officially take her in as a disciple, but she could already start planning for her future disciple.
"Honestly speaking, I have no intention of taking in a disciple at all. Who would've thought that I'd be able to take advantage of Fatty Tang in the end? This is the will of the heavens!" The lady in white smiled faintly. "Four hours it is. Quickly go and do what you need to do. Don't mind me. I need to calm down and suppress my power. This realm is too fragile. Any leakage of my aura might cause a considerable impact."
Then, with a slight sway of her body, she disappeared immediately.
Until now, Shangguan Lingxiu's heart was still filled with trepidation.
Before the three incense sticks were lit, Shangguan Lingxiu's heart was filled with anticipation, but there was still a hint of doubt, disbelief, and disbelief, as well as a sense of child's play.
After the incident with the Seventeenth Master of the Abyss's dragon hide treasure map, Shangguan Lingxiu had firmly believed that there were indeed immortals in this world, powerful beings that surpassed the knowledge of this world's cultivators. However, even if there were immortals, would they come in such a short amount of time?
At this time, it had been close to two hundred generations of the Shangguan Family since the incense was given back then, and at least five thousand years had passed. It was not just the passage of time; it would not be an exaggeration to say that the world had changed. Could it really come true?
Furthermore, just like what she had said, this matter could not be settled in two to three days.
Who would have thought that the immortal would really come before the incense was even finished burning?
