Although Su Li's movement seemed quite weak, it was disguised by her age. In the eyes of the young man, it was ignorant of the world, and he didn't blame her.
He followed Su Li's gaze and looked at Huang. Then he looked more relaxed, "Is she your granddaughter?"
Cold sweat appeared on Huang's forehead. He bowed his head and said respectfully, "Immortal, Erya was from the Su Family in the east of the village. After her father died, she was lonely, so I took her in as a companion. It has been seven years now."
When the young man heard this, he was more interested.
In this way, after Huang died, Su Li would have no worries in the secular world and would not be involved in the mortal world. She would have an excellent immortal fate. It would be no trouble for him to send her to the sect.
"Well, I already know that your granddaughter is indeed destined to be an immortal. I will take her back to the sect and train her carefully as one of my selected children with immortal fate."
When the young man said this, he frowned. He didn't want to ask Su Li's name for the second time.
Huang gritted his teeth and said, "Immortal, please forgive me! At that time, Erya didn't have a formal name. I didn't know much, so I boldly used the name of a big shot to change her fate. Now I can't say this name in front of you! "
"Oh?"
The young man raised his eyebrows, and the woman in red couldn't help but laugh at Su Li, who was cautious,
"A big shot? Old guy, the big shot in your eyes may be less than an ant in our eyes. "
Huang smiled bitterly, opened his mouth, and hesitated, "Erya's name is …"
Seeing that he was still hesitating, the woman in red immediately became impatient.
Li Yuehuan, who was standing next to Yang Chunbo, seemed to realize that this was a good opportunity to stop Su Li from seeking immortality. She immediately shouted, "Su Li! Her name is Su Li, which means Lin Li! "
As soon as the words came out, the young man and the woman in red changed their faces.
This name … Wasn't it the one in Yuxu Sect …
"Senior Brother, we can't bring him back to the sect!"
The woman in red raised her eyebrows and immediately opened her mouth to stop him. "Don't forget the relationship between the Sect Leader and Su … and that person. If she finds out that a mortal dares to use this name and is brought into the Sect to cultivate, she will definitely be furious. Perhaps even we will be implicated!"
After the red-clothed woman finished speaking, her face suddenly became a lot uglier. She had just said those words. If others were to know that she called that person an ant, wouldn't that mean …
Thinking of this, the woman in red lifted her head and her gaze shot towards Li Yuehuan like lightning. Li Yuehuan had never experienced such a sharp gaze before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. Her body softened and she leaned against Yang Chunbo's chest.
But she was secretly delighted. She didn't expect that saying Su Li's name would really make her lose the chance to become an immortal.
In this way, wouldn't his chances be even greater?
Yang Chunbo was at a loss of what to do. He looked at the old village head for help, but the old village head seemed not to see it. He stood aside like an old man and dared not to cross the line.
The young man stood aside and frowned. Obviously, he was hesitant because of what his junior sister apprentice said.
At this time, the villagers of Tiehe Village arrived with their children. The young man was slightly refreshed. He temporarily put Su Li's matter aside and carefully selected the children.
The woman in red also temporarily withdrew her gaze and selected with her senior fellow apprentice.
The test of spiritual root could only be carried out in the Sect. For the two of them who went out to recruit disciples for the Sect, it seemed that they could only choose from the appearance.
Whoever was pleasing to the eye would get the opportunity to soar to the sky.
Su Li quietly watched the two of them exclude the ordinary-looking children. Looking at the resentment and disappointment on the faces of the children's parents, a ripple appeared in her heart.
There was no fairness in the world.
People were born unequal. Some people were born as the sons of the Sect Leader with noble status and endless practice resources, while some people were born in poor families. They might not have a good end even if they worked hard all their lives.
So some people said that they should accept their fate.
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly. Over the years, she intermittently learned what happened a thousand years ago from Huang. Although there were many vague parts, she also speculated a lot of things.
The broken mirror must have something to do with the old beggar. The number of practitioners who died because of the broken mirror was more than 100,000, which was far more than the number of talents from the Jiuzhou Region who entered that year.
She remembered that there were no more than a thousand sect geniuses who entered the Reincarnation Mirror at the same time as her. But the number she heard now was a hundred times larger!
"Other regions also participated, even … the entire Qingshui Circle!"
Su Li's eyes flashed with light. This conclusion was not difficult to guess.
Because no matter Ling Li, Fang Yuan, or even Qu Qingning, they were not from the Jiuzhou Region. Otherwise, it was impossible for her not to have any impression.
For the entire Qingshui Circle, her death seemed insignificant, and even Yuxu Sect was just a pawn.
Opening the Reincarnation Mirror and then dying, that was … her fate!
All kinds of complex thoughts came to her mind. Suddenly, Su Li had another idea. As soon as this idea appeared, it lingered in her heart like a maggot attached to the bone and could not be dispersed.
Although the Reincarnation Mirror was an ancient treasure of heaven and earth, she was the only one who was inherited the secret method to open it after all. Even the old beggar and others once said that she was half the owner of the Reincarnation Mirror.
If she hadn't opened the Reincarnation Mirror for Yuxu Sect, she might have been a powerful person in the world now. Even with the help of the Reincarnation Mirror, she might have become one of the giants with the right to speak in Qingshui Circle!
But in the end … she still couldn't let go of her master and the sect she had stayed in for nine hundred years. So, she resolutely opened the door of the Reincarnation Mirror with her body as the foundation.
One wrong step, and the whole game was lost!
She took a step, which was like sending a plate of fish to a group of robbers. From then on, she became the fish on the chopping board, which was eroded by all forces in Qingshui Circle. They sent countless pawns to plunder everything that should belong to her!
Would Ling Li and Fang Yuan … also be the pawns deliberately arranged by those chess masters?
Su Li's hands hidden in her sleeves slowly clenched. Her lips were pale, and her eyes were dim. Finally … she suddenly relaxed.
She didn't want to think about the answer to the question.
When she re-cultivated to a certain realm, all the truth would be revealed naturally. By then … maybe she would be ready to accept cruelty.
When she came to herself for a moment, the two people of Huajian Sect finally looked at the qualified children of dozens of families in Tiehe Village. Finally, the young man chose Yang Chunbo who had read books, and the other candidate was hesitant.
The woman in red chose two boys who looked quite smart, and didn't even look at Li Yuehuan who was full of longing. She didn't like to take jealous boys with her.
The young man glanced at Su Li who bowed her head and didn't know what she was thinking. He moved his eyes away and finally fell on Li Yuehuan. The latter immediately tensed up and nervously tidied the broken hair around her ears. There was a trace of fear in her panic. Her appearance was really pitiful, which made other teenagers in the village swallow their saliva secretly.
However, the young man's face turned cold. He had climbed all the way from an outer court disciple to the position of a true inheriting disciple, and along the way, there had been countless female cultivators who wanted to climb into his bed. Li Yuehuan's expression was exactly the same as those cheap women, and just looking at her made him want to vomit.
The young man sighed secretly, and finally looked back to Su Li.
If he hadn't met Su Li, he wouldn't have had such a high requirement for selecting the Child with Immortal Latency. But it was like tasting delicious food. Once the most delicious food was placed in the front, other food would become bland and tasteless.
"Well, it's a little troublesome, and it may not even be troublesome …"
The young man pondered in his heart, and finally waved to Su Li and said, "Come here and leave with me."
Su Li was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that the young man still chose her after hearing her name. Although she felt strange in her heart, she still walked to the young man obediently and bowed her head in silence.
"Senior Fellow Apprentice!"
The woman in red suddenly became anxious, but before she spoke, she was interrupted by the young man who waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I know what to do."
Then he turned his head and asked, "Su Li, your name is troublesome, so I will give you a new name. Would you like to?"
Su Li suddenly understood. It turned out that this was his idea.
Huang's eyes brightened when he heard the words, and his intuition told him that this method was very good. But seeing that Su Li didn't respond, he suddenly became anxious and urged in a low voice, "Li, agree!"
Although he might never see Su Li again in this life after she entered the sect, as a grandfather, who didn't want his granddaughter to have a better future?
Su Li heard the concern and eagerness in Huang's words, and her heart was slightly warmed. She raised her head and nodded, "Immortal, please give me a name."
In such a situation, there was no room for her to refuse. If she really refused, it was likely that she would not be able to enter the sect, and if the young man was a little narrow-minded, he might kill her at will.
At that time, she would have to show her real cultivation to resist. Even if she was killed, it would definitely attract the attention of Huajian Sect, and then … enter the sight of Yuxu Sect and even more people.
She couldn't bear such consequences now.
Of course, the young man didn't know that Su Li had thought so much in just a few breaths, and he didn't know that he was on the verge of death. He saw Su Li's well-behaved appearance and the pure pneuma she exuded, which made him feel very comfortable. A faint smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth,
"That's good. Since you are willing, I must give you a good name. On the way back to the sect, I will think about it and tell you. If you succeed in your cultivation in the future, it is okay to change back to the original name. "
"Thank you, immortal."
Su Li saluted respectfully, but she knew that the second half of the young man's words was completely polite. If she changed her name without the young man's cultivation, it would inevitably cause the young man's displeasure.
