Chapter 640: Chapter 638 The Ancestral Master Has Arrived
“Disciple, your master has arrived—” Qing’s voice rang out from the front gate.
Sally was playing hide-and-seek with the children. Hearing the voice, she pulled down the blindfold covering her eyes and smiled at the children, “Your grandmaster has come. Shall we go find him?”
Little Shiyi and Little Shier knew Qing and immediately raised their hands—
“Little Shiyi wants to play with Grandmaster.”
“Little Shier does too.”
Sally said with a smile, “Alright.”
The other children didn’t really know Qing, but they had heard of him because Sally often mentioned that her “Supreme One Technique” was taught by Master Qing.
Qing was dressed in white, his flawless and exquisitely handsome features made him look very young, just like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
Sally looked at him in surprise, “How come you’re still so youthful? I already have a bunch of kids, and you should change your appearance. The one from the Qilin Clan with white hair and beard looks quite good to me.”
“He has a house full of children and grandchildren, while I’m all alone. My image doesn’t matter,” Qing said as his eyes curved into a particularly attractive crescent, looking at the crowd of little cubs behind Sally.
Sally felt unsatisfied, “You and I are not related, and these children have nothing to do with you either. You can leave now.”
After saying that, she was about to close the door.
Qing hurriedly teleported inside, “Master, it’s just that I’m so used to being alone that I forgot about disciples. My grand-disciples, do you miss your grandmaster?”
Little Shiyi and Little Shier raised their hands, “We do—”
The other children mostly stared at him with unfamiliar eyes.
A gust of autumn breeze swept through… The scene turned extremely quiet.
You Hao strolled over and greeted Qing, “Should I address you as God Venerable or as Master?”
“Master, it’s more intimate to be called Master,” Qing replied.
Sally led Qing to the garden where the full-moon celebration was taking place.
Qing Linghuan was tidying up the mess made by the children in the area, which had been almost perfectly restored.
Qing looked at the bustling garden full of blooming flowers, “Not bad, not bad, you put in a lot of thought. Just looking at this hundred-day banquet, I can tell my disciple is doing well.”
Qing Linghuan sized him up, and if he didn’t know that Sally had very strict rules regarding relationships, he would have had his doubts about this ‘old codger’, “Being early is not as good as coming just in time. Today is Xiao Yangyang and Xiaoxiao’s full-moon celebration. Master, do you have any gifts for them?”
“If I say I don’t, can I leave here alive?” Qing said with a smile, his eyes curving brightly, just like a sunny boy.
Qing Linghuan scoffed disdainfully, “Yanyan is the one who decides.”
Suddenly called out, Sally was taken aback, “Huh?”
Then she smiled, “Of course you can leave alive. Your presence alone is very rare.”
“My disciple is the kindest,” Qing said with a laugh, and then retrieved some small space ornaments from the Different Space: hairpins, jade pendants, bracelets, bangles, necklaces, rings, earrings, safety locks, jade gourds, money bags, and so on.
“Each one contains different gifts. The smallest baby girls will choose first, followed by the baby boys.”
Oh, favoring girls over boys, huh. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Deer Shu’s fortune suddenly fell from the sky, and Xiao Susu was the first to step forward, “Hello, Grandmaster, my name is Xiao Susu, ranking thirtieth, and I’m the youngest baby girl.”
Qing looked at her clever and agile appearance, touched her head, and gazed at her affectionately, “Xiao Susu is Little Lulu, a lucky treasure. Pick something you like.”
Xiao Susu chose a safety lock, “Can I take this one?”
“Of course, you can. Just bind it with your blood and it will be eternally yours,” Qing replied.
Hearing this, You Hao said to Sally using divine power telepathy, “Eternal means it cannot be transferred to others, and if Xiao Susu encounters any mishap, the safety lock will self-destruct and won’t fall into anyone else’s hands, nor will it cause an explosion.”
Sally suddenly understood, “It’s suitable for storing treasures that others can’t touch. But what’s so strange about that?”
“To create such a spatial storage artifact requires the Law of Destruction. It seems Master has restored his power,” You Hao said with a serious look.
“Oh,” Sally, who didn’t understand Qing’s past, thus his abilities meant little to her.
After all, she had never relied on him when it mattered.
As long as he was well, that was enough.
Qing Linghuan didn’t think too much and just watched Little Shiwu, who was ninth in line, eagerly waiting to choose a gift.
Little Lulu was the second to choose. “Ancestor Master, my name is Little Lulu, I’m twenty-ninth in line, and I want that Jade Gourd.”
“Good, Little Lulu really knows how to choose,” Qing stroked her tail, “It’s truly beautiful.”
“Thank you, Ancestor Master.” Little Lulu turned around and ran to show off to Sally, “Mom, look at the gourd I got.”
“Gourd, wealth and fortune, a very nice implication,” Sally crouched down to pick her up.
You Hao also liked Little Lulu very much, “She’s completely different from Putao and Xiao Susu, she must take after you.”
“I was a very well-behaved and sensible child,” Sally said, holding Little Lulu and watching Xiao Jia Yue nervously step forward.
Qing sized her up, “She’s really cute, what’s your name?”
Xiao Jia Yue looked back at Little Shier and, after seeing her brother’s encouraging look, felt a bit more at ease and replied to Qing in a soft voice, “My name is Xiao Jia Yue, I’m twenty-eighth in line, and I want that Crescent Pendant, may I?”
“Of course, Xiao Jia Yue,” Qing pinched her tiny Qilin horn, “Truly a Fortunate Divine Beast with ancestral pure blood.”
Speaking of bloodlines, Sally asked You Hao, “Xiaoxiao has white fur, could it be she is of mixed blood?”
“Not at all. Pure bloods’ appearances can differ as well, like my true form has mixed black feathers,” You Hao said with a smile.
Sally realized, “Little Beibei takes after me, pure Rat Clan.”
“I like it very much,” You Hao responded.
Sally curled her lips charmingly.
The children lined up one by one to choose their gifts… What surprised Sally was that Little Fengning chose a Money Bag.
Then, he rushed to Sally excitedly, “Mom, guess what’s inside?”
Sally smiled, “Is it filled with Divine Crystals?”
Little Fengning acknowledged the Money Bag with his blood, only to find a note inside––Strive to make money, and you shall become the greatest God of Wealth in the universe!
After seeing that note, Sally was really speechless, “Not even a single coin inside!”
Little Fengning was quite content, “Mom, the space inside is so big!!!”
“Humph, of course it seems big when it’s empty,” Sally handed her son a top-quality Divine Crystal, “Mom will sponsor you.”
“Thank you, Mom.” Little Fengning happily accepted it.
You Hao naturally didn’t fall short either, giving Little Fengning a bunch of Divine Crystals. He may not have many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but he certainly had enough Divine Crystals.
Qing Linghuan rummaged through his Storage Bag and pulled out two Golden Leaves, “Uncle didn’t bring them with him, I’ll give you more another time.”
“Thank you, Uncle Qing, it’s okay, I will earn my own money,” Little Fengning replied.
After each child received a gift, two remained––one was a white dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, and the other was a white hairpin.
Sally picked up the hairpin and said to Qing, “This would be perfect for Little Shiliu, she is a young lady now.”
While speaking, she also showed a photo of Little Shiliu to Qing.
Upon seeing the photo, Qing’s gaze tightened but he quickly concealed his reaction, “May I have this photo, Master? And the others of the children, too?”
“Of course.” Sally also took out a big group photo from the hundred-day banquet, with Xiao Mei having Photoshopped Xiaoba into it, held in Sally’s arms, while Xiaojin also extraordinarily curled on the eggshell.
“Disciple, you’ve grown the entire top-tier Divine Clan all by yourself,” Qing looked at the photo and smiled.
Sally blushed slightly, “Master, would you like some cake? I’ll cut you a piece.”
Qing agreed, “Sure.”
Qing Linghuan picked up the dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, “Who is this for? Does Xiaoba have one yet?”
Xiaoqi replied, “Uncle Qing, Xiaoqi has already chosen for Xiaoba, it’s a nine-story pagoda.”
Qing Linghuan passed it to Sally, “For your next child.”
Sally: “…”
