Chapter 994: Chapter 303: Silver-Haired Doll! Spiritual Painting Avatar!

This is just unbelievable.

"I can understand that, Third Miss, you don’t need to worry about it."

Yuchi signaled Qi Hongyu not to worry, then casually asked, "So, I wonder how much silver and gold you owe the Qi Family?"

"I don’t owe anything," Qi Hongyu chuckled, "I have innate ninth-grade talent."

Yuchi: "..."

Whoa, cheat codes, whoa, using cheat codes... How can you compete with this—beautiful, good family, strong, elegant, with unlimited potential. What kind of girl is this that someone could possibly deserve to marry her? This is a life that seems scripted, people feel inferior compared to her.

Given this, Yuchi resolutely bit the bullet, exaggeratedly thick-skinned like a city wall, and directly asked, "So, does Third Miss have any thoughts about joining my sect?"

Qi Hongyu seemed to have anticipated Yuchi would say this, and her smile was radiant: "Mr. Yuchi, you are indeed amusing."

Yuchi: "..."

The implication, you’re such a joker.

Oh well, there’s no help for it, forcing things never works, Yuchi wasn’t bothered. He just asked casually, and she replied naturally. It’s all reasonable—he’s just made a trip to the state capital, and he’s going to bring back a disciple with ninth-grade talent? That’s just incredible.

Qi Hongyu suddenly said, "We’ll need to wait for a while, until Baiyu finishes handling things here, takes care of the debts. I’m actually not entirely staying with the Qi Family and could join your sect, Mr. Yuchi."

Yuchi: "!!!"

Hope rekindled, Yuchi looked at Qi Hongyu with excitement: "There’s no one around right now, Hongyu sister, you really should consider coming over. Our sect provides food, shelter, elixirs, secret manuals, a Blessed Land, and job placement later on. You don’t have to contribute anything."

"The sect will take care of you!"

"You can avoid getting caught up in mundane affairs and focus purely on cultivation. With your ninth-grade talent, I guarantee you’ll break through to Core Formation Stage within a year and directly into Golden Core in our sect."

Qi Hongyu was a bit surprised—doesn’t the sect charge any fees? The sect gives so much? Does the sect have disciples with the same ninth-grade talent?

She had to reassess the current situation, and experiencing the fiery gaze of the man in front of her, her eyes shifted as she thoughtfully answered, "How can I contact you, Mr. Yuchi?"

She needed to help her sister; only after handling things here could she consider leaving the Qi Family, and leaving was more troublesome than expected.

Yuchi felt rather troubled; indeed, how would she contact him? So, after thinking, he said, "Don’t worry, I’ll return around the same time next year."

"I’ll come once a year until you’re willing to marry... cough, willing to join my sect."

Yuchi’s sincerity was overwhelming.

Qi Hongyu naturally laughed and slowly, but earnestly, said a word.

"Alright!"

Just then, Qi Baiyu returned, holding a small box and a letter.

Under Yuchi’s kind gaze, she first placed the letter in Yuchi’s hand, explaining with a smile, "Mr. Yuchi, this letter has a detailed route to Medicine Master Valley."

Yuchi looked at the letter; it was clearly professionally treated, with some sealed Spiritual Qi Arrays on the surface. Once the envelope was opened, the array would vanish—the Medicine Master Valley evidently wanted to keep its location secret. So, he first tucked the letter away.

As for what’s inside the small box?

Qi Baiyu then pushed the small box forward: "Mr. Yuchi, inside this box are some small gifts from our Qi Family. Please don’t laugh at them."

No laughing matter, Mr. Yuchi loves gifts, so what could be the gift...? Yuchi opened the box right in front of the two ladies. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Inside was a wooden plaque, a palm-sized rectangle, with a landscape painting visible on the surface.

The landscape featured a little girl, with silver-white long hair, sitting by a river fishing.

"..."

Hmm.

What should I say?

And what is this supposed to be?

Such existential questions filled Yuchi’s mind; he had no clue what this object was. Damn, lacking the knowledge is a real disadvantage.

Then.

"Thanks, it’s pretty neat," Yuchi said with a smile.

Both women: "..."

While Yuchi blushed.

Goodness, this is so embarrassing—what is this? Who knows what this thing is? Then, after using Spiritual Qi to sense a bit, the plaque suddenly emitted a glow, and a small object streaked out from it.

Yuchi stubbornly held back his inner commotion, pretending nonchalance even when a palm-sized porcelain doll sat on his shoulder, remaining calm like an old dog.

His gaze tilted beside him, then saw a porcelain doll as white as snow, its silver hair flowing. The doll’s exquisite face was truly stunning.
