Chapter 3: Entering the Heavenly Sword Sect

Cut watermelon in the shape of a crescent moon.

The red flesh of the melon was pink and sticky, with crystalline juice dripping from the surface, landing on the wooden table and soaking out a small water stain.

The girl looked delighted and cupped one of the petals in both hands.

Was about to open his mouth.

But then something suddenly came to mind.

Struggling to stand on his tiptoes and get his hands up a little higher, he handed the melon scoop side of the melon to Xu’s system’s mouth.

“Hey, brother, eat first.”

“Thank you lovely little Mo Li then”, the Xu system smiled, taking a light bite.

It’s sweet and delicious.

The texture is sandy, the juice is sweet, and the taste is refreshing.

Eating such a bite on a hot summer day, your whole body and mind feel a sense of redemption, and the sweetness bursts on your tongue, bringing happiness and joy.

The siblings each held a petal of watermelon.

Sitting in front of my house, I ate while gazing out the door at the pedestrians passing by and the thick old trees that rattled in the wind.

“Elder brother elder brother, when will Mo Li grow taller?”

“Well, how can I put it, I can’t guess that one.”

“I want to get taller so bad ……”

The girl sat on the threshold and ate her melon.

This wooden threshold is so high that with the girl’s current leg length, she would not be able to reach the floor after sitting on it.

So it was that her feet rose and fell, swaying back and forth, the plain white belly of her legs accompanied by the crisp sound of eating melons with every swing she accomplished.

A swing and a bite.

One comes and goes.

The toes of his feet drew soft arcs in the air, and in that lightness and serenity like a bird of prey, time seemed to slow down.

Summer, girls, watermelon.

Combined in a serene and beautiful way.

At least the Xu system felt that the scene in front of them was indeed beautiful.

However, nice is nice, and the education that is needed still needs to take place.

The Xu system tapped the girl on the forehead with the back of a clean hand, “Be quiet when you’re eating and don’t move around.”

“Brother is so annoying!”

Xu Moli gave a slight cry.

Still, he dutifully retracted his legs and quietly ate his watermelon.

It didn’t take long.

All the watermelons went into the two siblings’ stomachs.

Xu Mo Li was still small after all and couldn’t eat too much, so most of it was eaten by the Xu system.

Sparingly, the girl’s belly became rounded, and with a lazy face, she plopped down on Xu System’s back, reciting, “It’s all because of my elder brother that I’ve become like this, my elder brother has to be responsible for this, so let me plop down for a while.”

The girl was by and large really tired.

The voice grew fainter and fainter.

After another moment, the Xu system heard a small purring sound from behind them.

“……”

“It’s good to be young and fall asleep.”

Shaking his head, Xu System carried the girl who had already fallen asleep, slowing down his pace and resting his palms lightly as he made his way to the bed.

Let the young girl lie smoothly and half on the bedding.

The girl had just eaten with a round belly.

The Hsu system is worried about indigestion if you lie straight down flat.

So use bedding on the back so that the girl can rest in a semi-reclining position.

“What an unsettling child.”

The Hsu system gives this comment.

In front of him, the girl was sleeping sweetly, breathing evenly and gently, like an extremely cute young beast, revealing an unguarded, incomparably innocent and cute childish face.

There was sunlight coming through the window, not too strong, silky.

Just the right amount to create a warm veil.

It landed on the corner of the bed.

Xu Department watched from the side for a long time, holding a bushel fan in his hand, fanning it a few times from time to time to drive away the dry heat for the sleeping girl and chase away the annoying mosquitoes.

“Isn’t this kid …… a little too clingy for me?”

“When I leave for next year’s Apprentice Assembly, I’ll be leaving, and if I don’t let her follow, I’m sure she’ll cry for a long time.”

The Xu system tsked lightly.

It seemed to be thinking of some extremely interesting scene.

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

According to the original plan, Xu System was prepared to enter the Immortal Cultivation Sect alone at next year’s Apprentice Acceptance Conference, but the girl was too clingy, and Xu System didn’t feel comfortable handing it over to someone else to take care of.

Thinking about it this way, it’s better for the two of you to leave together.

With a heavenly spiritual root such a heaven-defying qualification in place.

It was believed that the Immortal Cultivation Sect wouldn’t reject the Xu system’s request.

……

[Time continues to flow]

[You waited silently for the intake meeting to arrive and offered to leave with your sister, who agreed, thinking it would be a cool thing to do and that she only wanted to be with you.]

[One month, two months, three months ……]

[A year has passed again, it’s the fifth year since you traveled to the Immortal Cultivation World, and a new session of the Apprenticeship Conference has begun]

[‘Immortals’ descended from the sky, either riding swords in the air or flying boats, and joined forces to release a large formation covering the entire city, for the purpose of identifying the spiritual roots of mortals]

[Three Spiritual Roots, Four Spiritual Roots, Five Spiritual Roots ……]

[With the activation of the array, people with spiritual roots in the city were quickly screened out one by one, you were surprised because the number of people with spiritual roots was especially low and most of them were miscellaneous spiritual roots that were just doing nothing]

[Suddenly!

[You only feel a great shock in your body, a raging breath breaks through your chest, and the Spiritual Root of Heaven is no longer hidden, it is revealed!

[Sister Xu Moli was very happy, but at the same time felt inferior because she was a pure mortal without the slightest spirit root]

Black Rock City one year later.

Within the Spiritual Root Formation, rushing green streams of light suddenly sprang out of the sky, and the cultivators who were originally still breezing and exchanging cultivation experiences were instantly startled.

“This scent, could it be!”

“Hiss, there can be no mistake, this is a wood-attribute Heavenly Spirit Root!”

“Hahaha, this son has a destiny with my Heavenly Sword Sect!”

Almost simultaneously.

Those Immortal Cultivators, who were so high and mighty in the eyes of mortals, all revealed ecstatic faces and flashed in front of the Xu lineage siblings in unison.

“Brotherhood ……”

“It’s okay, let me.”

Clutching small, trembling hands in fear.

The Xu system shielded the girl behind him and faced those Immortal Cultivators alone.

Some people cajoled, some people solicited, some people enticed to profit, for a time, the scene was as chaotic as a mortal food market.

Eventually.

System Xu had chosen the Heavenly Sword Sect as his final destination.

In terms of heritage, the Heavenly Sword Sect was the strongest of the sects present, with multiple YuanYing cultivators in attendance.

In terms of sincerity, the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect were the most genuine, promising that they would be true disciples after entering the sect, with exclusive caves and a large amount of cultivation resources.

And the two siblings are allowed to leave together.

“Kid, have you thought this through?”

“Well, senior, I would like to join the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

[For your choice, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s cultivator was so happy that he took you and your sister out of Black Stone City on the spot, and drove his flying sword straight into the clouds]

[You don’t know how long you’ve been flying or how fast.]

I only know that the clouds from both sides of the sweep, the sun and the moon in the sky rotated once, the flying sword can slow down, landing in a magnificent mountain range, this is the Heavenly Sword Sect’s gate].

[You and your sister were placed in a room and simply slept]

[Waiting until you wake up, you were brought by the cultivator who brought you, hurriedly pulled to the Heavenly Sword Sect’s clan hall, where many great cultivators who heard the news rushed to take you as a disciple]

[In the end, you pondered over the pros and cons and decided to join Mori Sword Peak, which is associated with the wood spirit root, and you became a true disciple of the YuanYing Elder Mori Sword Peak Master]
