Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The person Li Guanqi had in mind was none other than Song Zhiang, who was in charge of miscellaneous tasks in the outer sect.

Now, the Great Xia Sword Sect has many outer sect disciples, and not everyone can enter the inner sect.

The standards and assessments for selection have become much stricter.

On the mountainside of the outer sect, the aroma of food wafts from a row of houses with chimneys puffing smoke.

Li Guanqi closed his eyes slightly to sense the surroundings, then flashed and appeared outside a door.

The room was filled with smoke, and a graceful woman in a light blue dress could be seen rolling up her sleeves, carrying baskets of steaming buns.

The woman always had a smile on her face, while a rosy-cheeked man with slightly graying temples sat by the stove, looking at the woman with doting eyes.

The woman was Song Zhiang, and the man was her father.

As she put down the steaming basket, the woman's gaze inadvertently swept across the doorway, and she happened to see a gentle-smiling young man standing there.

Her eyes brightened as Song Zhiang looked at Li Guanqi, a radiant smile gradually appearing on her face, as bright as the sun.

She quickly lowered her sleeves to cover her fair arms and gracefully greeted Li Guanqi with a Wanfu gesture.

"Greetings, Immortal Master."

Seeing this, Li Guanqi gently helped her up and said with a smile.

"We're old acquaintances, no need to be so formal."

Hearing this, the man quickly stood up, after all, the young man before him looked young but was a true powerhouse.

Moreover, he was now an elder of the Great Xia Sword Sect, with extremely high status.

He and his daughter were able to live such a comfortable life in the Great Xia Sword Sect thanks to this young man.

The man quickly stood up, wiped his hands, clasped his fist, and bowed.

"This commoner, Song Kangning, greets Elder Li."

Li Guanqi said with a smile.

"How is it? Are you two settling in well in the sect?"

Song Kangning said somewhat nervously.

"Good, very good."

"Everyone in the sect takes good care of us."

Song Zhiang stared at Li Guanqi's face, her eyes flickering, extremely bright.

Seeing this, Li Guanqi touched his nose and said softly.

"What? Is there something on my face?"

Song Zhiang, not knowing where she got the courage, said jokingly.

"More handsome than a flower."

"Cough cough cough..."

Song Kangning coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed, and quickly said.

"Elder Li, you two chat, I have to deliver buns to the dining hall."

Li Guanqi nodded with a smile, and after Song Kangning left, Li Guanqi said with a smile: "Want to go for a walk?"

Song Zhiang was initially overjoyed, but then her face turned slightly gloomy as she said.

"Or... let's just talk here."

"If we go out together... I'm afraid the sect disciples will see us and spread rumors that will affect you badly."

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned to hear this, he didn't expect the woman to be considering such things for him.

Li Guanqi smiled faintly and said softly.

"It's okay, I don't care about these things."

"I came here today partly to see how you are doing, and partly to inquire about some things from you."

"As for what others think, I don't care."

"Besides, if I walk with you, others will see it and your life will be better in the future, anyway, it won't affect me."

Song Zhiang lowered her head, her eyes slightly complicated, hooked her fingers and said softly.

"Thank you..."

Li Guanqi turned sideways and said: "Do you want to go back and change clothes?"

Song Zhiang nodded with a smile and said softly: "Okay, then wait for me, I'll be quick."

Song Zhiang hurried back to her residence, and Li Guanqi wandered around aimlessly.

Many outer sect disciples bowed respectfully with surprised faces after seeing him, and boldly asked.

"When will Elder Li come to the outer sect to teach! We are also working hard!"

Hearing this, Li Guanqi thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay."

"Go and inform everyone, gather all the outer sect disciples in the outer sect square in an hour, I will give you a lesson."

Hearing this, the young man's eyes widened, and he bowed repeatedly with great joy.

Then the news spread like wind throughout the entire outer sect.

Some disciples who were not in the mountain rushed back frantically after learning the news.

Soon, Song Zhiang changed her clothes.

She wore a light blue silver-patterned butterfly dress, the sleeves were wide and as thin as cicada wings, and the waist was tightened to make her figure very perfect.

Her three thousand black hairs were casually tied behind her head, and she wore a jade hairpin.

Her face was without makeup but still stunningly beautiful.

Her beautiful eyes were shyly closed, and her red lips opened with a smile.

The woman stood against the sunlight with her hands behind her back, her cheeks slightly red, and her eyes full of shyness.

Li Guanqi smiled and was sincerely happy for Song Zhiang now.

As for the love in his heart, there was nothing, perhaps when he was still refining his heart in the mortal world and met Song Zhiang selling tofu, he did have some.

But now, looking back, it may just be a little throbbing for beauty in his youth.

Song Zhiang also understood in her heart that she and Li Guanqi were like people from two different worlds.

She was a mortal with a lifespan of only a hundred years, while the young man in front of her could live for thousands of years.

When she was ten or twenty years older, her face would be old, and her beauty would be gone...

But now she just wanted to dress up beautifully and show him, to tell him that she was doing well and was happy.

Li Guanqi looked at her and praised sincerely: "Very beautiful."

The two stood side by side, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and the passing disciples were all secretly speculating in their hearts.

When a girl passed by the two of them, she bowed and sighed inwardly.

"They are so well-matched... Who is that woman? I've never seen her before?"

Song Zhiang felt her cheeks burning under the gaze of the people around her.

Li Guanqi noticed it and said softly: "Do you want to experience the feeling of flying in the sky?"

Song Zhiang raised her head, her beautiful eyes excitedly opened.

"Can I?"

Seeing Li Guanqi nod, Song Zhiang nodded vigorously.

Then an invisible force wrapped her inside, her feet slowly left the ground and gradually rose into the air.

Song Zhiang experienced flying in the sky for the first time, her jade hand couldn't help but grab Li Guanqi's arm, and she closed her eyes tightly, afraid to open them.

After a while, Li Guanqi's teasing voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"If you keep your eyes closed, you will be there."

Hearing this, Song Zhiang slowly opened her eyes, and the beauty in front of her made her forget the fear of flying.

Beside her were white clouds and celestial cranes, and in sight was a panoramic view of the majestic three thousand peaks of Great Xia!

The endless rivers and lakes flowed around the peaks, and the water surface reflected golden waves under the sunlight.

Song Zhiang looked at the scenes in front of her in amazement, her heart surging.

Suddenly, she turned to look at Li Guanqi, her eyes flickering, her eyes complicated.

"If... if I could also cultivate immortality, how wonderful that would be..."

Thinking of this, the hand holding his arm tightened a little.
