After the announcement from the academy was delivered, the elders also distributed tokens for the spirit hunt that would be held for another week. Qing Yue'er received the token, she checked it out but there was nothing special. There were no stone runes like Han Qiong's kinship tokens.
Recalling those stone runes, Qing Yue'er had to work even harder. Could it be better for him to ask Han Qiong directly? Wouldn't that make the old man feel suspicious of him?
Qing Yue'er was daydreaming, so she was patted by Luo Qingqi. "Let's go."
Finally Qing Yue'er returned to her mind. He left and walked hand in hand with Luo Qingqi to return to the dormitory. Perhaps it was because his interaction with Uncle Wuqing was too close that so many disciples were looking at him strangely. But as usual, he doesn't care.
After arriving at the dormitory, Qing Yue'er thought of a way to meet with uncle Wuqing without anyone else knowing. Just now they had only met for a moment, he wanted to talk a lot with her. But it seemed like Wuqing's uncle was someone who was quite popular in the academy, so he had to look for the right moment if he wanted to meet him.
"Sister Luo, may I ask you something?" qing Yue'er asked.
"Ask me, I'll tell you what I should know." Luo Qingqi said as she wiped the sword blade that was probably a little dirty.
"Is there a disciple here named Yan Xiao?"
Luo Qingqi immediately turned her head towards Qing Yue'er. He had no idea why the girl could so casually ask about the senior here. Not to mention his attitude earlier could be so close to Xie Wuqing. "Why do you want to know?"
"There's something I have to give him. Oh, please don't think nothing of me. I really have business with him." Qing Yue'er immediately explained, she did not want to be branded cheap anymore. Before that was just how he treated his uncle. Maybe this is his fault for not telling the truth to others.
"Yan Xiao yes ..he is a senior here. I doubt you can meet him freely," Luo Qingqi said.
Qing Yue'er sighed. "Then you know where he is not?"
"I don't really know that. It is rumored that lately he will soon be coming out of his closed door meditation."
"Hmm, okay. Thanks for the information." Qing Yue'er thanked him. After all, he had the care of the Daoist Black Three, and he had to pass it on to the old man's granddaughter. Now what should he do first?
After thinking for a while Qing Yue'er finally decided to go see Han Qiong. It seemed like he had to inquire directly regarding the mysterious stone runes. He also didn't want to be in this academy for too long, so faster would be better.
Qing Yue'er passed out of the dormitory. He passed by a fairly long road before finally arriving at Han Qiong's residence. Yesterday he had been directly appointed as Han Qiong's special disciple so he could freely meet his teacher.
"Teacher, your disciple is coming" Qing Yue'er said at the door. Soon the door opened and Xiao Mo went out to meet him. This time he was not asked to weed the plant again, but was immediately told to enter.
Qing Yue'er walked in following Xiao Mo and ended up in the backyard. Han Qiong was relaxing while opening up the scrolls that were piled on the table. If compared to each other, of course Han Qiong was different from Zu Tiankong.
This one teacher does look more like a real teacher and certainly is much stronger than teacher Zu. However Qing Yue'er also felt astonished, Han Qiong's current attitude was very different from the first time they met. Is it possible that he has many attitudes that will be adapted to his place?
"Xiao Mo, can you go first? I want to discuss something important with the teacher" Qing Yue'er whispered to Xiao Mo. The boy squinted at him, but a moment later he actually left.
Qing Yue'er approached Han Qiong and bowed. "This disciple greets Master."
Han Qiong raised his head from the scroll in his hand. He waved his hand, telling Qing Yue'er to ignore the formalities. Then he also told Qing Yue'er to sit down. "What's wrong?"
"Teacher, I want to ask you one thing," Qing Yue'er said in seriousness.
"Ask."
Qing Yue'er picked up the stone token given by Han Qiong. He showed the runes engraved there. "Teacher, why are these runes here?"
Han Qiong looked at Qing Yue'er for a moment. He felt astonished because suddenly there was someone asking about the rune, moreover it was a young girl who was still quite foreign. No one has ever asked her about this issue. "Why are you asking me about this?"
"It's hard to explain, but I've seen it before" Qing Yue'er said.
"Hmm, did you know this was something very crucial?" Han Qiong asked.
"Actually this is the rune of the hereditary grandfather teacher. Not all of my fellow students were released using those runes."
Qing Yue'er was stunned. "Then ... is the teacher's grandfather still alive?"
Han Qiong chuckled. "Of course, but he lived so far away and rarely met anyone else. Sometimes he won't even see me if I come for a visit."
"Teacher, can this disciple meet the master's grandfather?" qing Yue'er asked. Although he might be a little presumptuous, but he had the determination to find the meaning of those runes. He must obtain the inheritance from a mysterious person named Hua.
"Why are you so curious about these runes? It's not that I don't want to bring you together with him, but it's hard to see him. Grandfather teachers often do closed door meditation, and that also makes it even more difficult" Han Qiong said. She became astonished by Qing Yue'er's intentions, why was the girl so curious about the runes.
Qing Yue'er smiled shyly. "Then, does the teacher's grandfather have Merga Hua?"
"No, my teacher is not surnamed Hua." Han Qiong shook his head.
Qing Yue'er could only sigh. He felt a bit of difficulty, at least the rune problem seemed to still be untapped for now. Maybe he should find out for himself who is Han Qiong's teacher and where he lives. Then he would come to her without Han Qiong's knowledge.
If it was indeed disrespectful, then Qing Yue'er did not care. Most importantly he did not commit any deviant crime. He only wanted to ask the master teacher for runes, that was all.
Unable to dig any further, Qing Yue'er finally decided to leave. He said goodbye to Han Qiong and went to the back of the academy. He wanted to find a place to do physical training. He hasn't done that in a long time.

On the other hand, Qin Yang was bothering Xie Wuqing. He still felt surprised because his partner was finally willing to interact with a girl. "Wuqing, you really .. ah, you really picked the right girl."
Xie Wuqing chuckled. "What do you think? She's amazing, isn't she?"
"Yes, if you won't approach it then let me do it" Qin Yang said as he wrote something on the paper.
Hearing that remark made Xie Wuqing hit Qin Yang on the head. She still remembered the white-haired man who had met her and said he would take good care of Qing Yue'er. He was not so sure, but his instincts said that a man should not approach Qing Yue'er.
"Don't hope. It's better that you don't do anything bad to her" Xie Wuqing said.
"Why? Is it because you feel jealous?"
Xie Wuqing averted his gaze and looked at Qin Yang seriously. "Do you want to hear the truth?"
"Whatis that? Why are you so serious?" Qin Yang became serious as well.
"He is my brother," Xie Wuqing said indifferently.
"...."
"Are you serious?!" Qin Yang exclaimed in disbelief. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So it turned out that the reason Xie Wuqing was willing to interact with the girl was because they were brothers?
"I never lie" Xie Wuqing said.
Qin Yang finally snorted. "Huh, it turns out you're still the same."
Xie Wuqing chuckled. He felt happy that it had already made Qin Yang misunderstand him. "But this is something no one else knows, I hope you will keep it to yourself."
Qin Yang nodded. "Who will gossip you with that girl? I won't talk about it anymore."
"Good."
