"Ah..."
"Rongrong, take care."
Watching Ning Rongrong leave, Chen Qingling couldn't wait to enter meditation again.
In order to travel the continent and find her loved ones, she had to become strong enough.
"Mom, I will definitely find you! I will definitely bring you back and reunite you with Dad!"
Core of the Star Dou Forest, straw house.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for increasing Chen Qingling's soul power level by one level!]
[Ding! Triggering tenfold feedback!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for increasing soul power level by five levels!]
Chen Shengge was stunned for a few seconds, looking up at the deep night sky, a bitter smile on his face.
"This girl... she's really something."
"But shouldn't tenfold feedback be ten levels? Why only five levels?"
[Host! Chen Qingling's realm is too low, and the amount of soul power increased is too small to increase by ten levels in one go!]
Chen Shengge's eyelids twitched.
Playing word games!
Five levels are fine too, it's not bad to increase by five levels without doing anything!
Time passed quickly, and it was morning the next day.
The first ray of sunlight shone through the window into the room, illuminating Chen Qingling's exquisite and beautiful face.
Feeling the warmth on her cheeks, Chen Qingling opened her beautiful eyes.
"Wow..."
"Is it already the next morning so soon?"
"I feel like I just meditated for a while, and suddenly it's the next day."
Chen Qingling stretched lazily and got up from the sofa.
Despite not having slept at all and meditating to improve her soul power all night, she didn't feel sleepy at all. Instead, she felt refreshed and energetic.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock at the door.
"Coming." Chen Qingling went to open the door, and it was Ning Rongrong in a light blue skirt.
Ning Rongrong crossed her arms and scrutinized her.
"Qingling, did you meditate all night without sleeping?"
"Ah... yes... How could I not sleep."
Chen Qingling touched the back of her head, avoiding eye contact.
Seeing her guilty appearance, Ning Rongrong knew whether she had slept last night or not.
"You, you... you didn't even consider whether your body could handle it."
Seeing through Chen Qingling's act, Ning Rongrong sighed, "Well, I guess you were like this at the beginning too, just like Qingling."
At that moment, Chen Xin flew over on his sword.
"Grandpa Sword, can you stop mentioning my dark history! It's annoying!"
Seeing the playful Ning Rongrong, Chen Xin smiled.
"Master."
Chen Xin nodded, "Qingling, what Rongrong said is right."
"You're still young, and at your stage of growth, I don't recommend meditating without rest."
At the same time, Ning Rongrong, who was beside Chen Xin, made a face at Chen Qingling and provocatively pointed at her chest.
Annoyed, Chen Qingling pouted, "I got it, I won't meditate without rest to improve my soul power anymore."
"Actually, there isn't much I can teach you, but your knowledge of soul masters is lacking, so I'll personally explain some key points to you."
"Rongrong, don't leave yet. Stay and reinforce the key points, so you don't forget them."
Chen Xin glanced at Ning Rongrong, who was about to leave, and spoke slowly.
"Ah..."
"Grandpa Sword, I don't think it's necessary. I've memorized all those points by heart and won't forget them."
"Hmm?!"
Chen Xin's expression turned serious, contrary to his usual gentle demeanor.
"Rongrong, listen carefully to Grandpa Sword's teachings."
Chen Xin nodded slightly and proceeded to explain the key points of soul masters to Chen Qingling.
At noon.
After two and a half hours of explanation, Chen Xin finished his lecture.
Chen Qingling listened attentively the whole time, fearing she might miss something.
Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, left after a while.
"Master, the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls are amazing."
"Hehe."
"The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls are nothing special, just a compilation of hundreds of volumes into a list of ten core competencies."
"For major sects, it's almost useless, just easier for ordinary soul masters to understand."
"By the way, Qingling, I've used the power of the Seven Treasures Glass Sect to spread the net and search for your mother."
"Thank you, Master..."
Chen Qingling hesitated for a long time with her head down. She wanted to leave the Seven Treasures Glass Sect, but didn't know how to bring it up.
Should she do it quietly?
Thinking about the care she received from Chen Xin and the others these past few days, leaving like this wouldn't be good.
"What are you thinking, Qingling?"
"Master, I want to leave." Chen Qingling hesitated for a long time before choosing to speak her mind.
Chen Xin's heart skipped a beat. "You just came to the Seven Treasures Glass Sect, and you want to leave so soon? Is there something wrong with the sect?"
Chen Qingling shook her head. "No, everyone in the Seven Treasures Glass Sect has been very kind to me, but I don't want to stay in one place."
"But... it's too dangerous for you to travel alone."
Chen Qingling shook her head, smiling gently, "Qingling isn't afraid. My dad, who protects me at all times, will keep me safe."
Chen Xin hesitated, not knowing what to say.
Having a mysterious reclusive expert as a father, who can protect his daughter's safety even when he's not around, is astonishing to think about.
Gurgle gurgle.
Chen Qingling's stomach growled, her face blushing.
"Let's eat before you go, and remember to say goodbye to Rongrong."
"Thank you for your understanding, Master."
Immediately, Chen Xin took Chen Qingling to the cafeteria to eat.
"Qingling, you can eat whatever you want, no need to be polite."
"Mmhm."
Chen Qingling's eyes lit up as she looked at the various delicacies in the cafeteria, unable to resist swallowing her saliva.
...
Council Hall.
Chen Xin hurriedly flew over, seeing Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong chatting happily.
"Uncle Sword, weren't you teaching Qingling? Why are you here?"
Gu Rong grinned, "Didn't she have no more to learn? If not, I'll teach her!"
Chen Xin sighed, "I've taught her everything she needs to know."
"But... Qingling wants to leave."
"What?!"
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, sitting in their chairs, were shocked, standing up from their seats.
"Uncle Sword, what do you mean..."
"Let me make it clear, Qingling doesn't want to stay here. From what I can see, she wants to travel and explore the continent."
"Isn't this nonsense! A twelve-year-old child wants to travel alone?"
Chen Xin turned around, hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. "For others, it might be impossible, but Qingling can do it. Behind her is a reclusive expert silently protecting her."
"Keep in mind that Qingling was able to escape safely from the perilous Star Dou Forest, proving that the expert behind her is powerful enough to walk sideways."
"Qingling traveling alone can be said to be completely safe."
As it is well known, the most deadly thing is to imagine too much.
