Chapter 2586: Chapter 2584: Son of the Duke of Yan

"True Immortal?"

Song Shiyong’s legs gave way as he pinched his sister’s cheeks, "You little rascal, are you tricking me?"

The little girl broke free from his hands, rubbing her cheeks, "Why would I trick you? My ability to read a person’s cultivation level is never wrong. It’s called talent, you know?"

Song Shiyong didn’t doubt her words.

His sister had been exceptionally gifted since childhood, speaking at one month old and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at one year old.

Moreover, this girl could read hearts.

No matter what others were thinking, she could tell.

If she weren’t his own sister, Song Shiyong would have suspected she was a demon.

He took the little rascal back home, where the servants were busy clearing the ruins; it would likely take a month to restore their home.

Lady Song saw them and immediately hugged her daughter, concerned, "You little troublemaker, are you hurt?"

The little girl kissed her, sweetly saying, "Don’t worry, mom, I’m quite alright!"

Lady Song tapped her on the head sternly, "You mustn’t mess around anymore, look at the chaos you’ve caused in our home!"

The little girl stuck out her tongue and held Lady Song’s finger, "Mom, I’ve got a request."

"What mischief do you want to create now?"

Lady Song’s heart skipped a beat.

The little girl said sweetly, "It’s not mischief, I want to go to Liangshan Island to learn the way of Dao."

"Huh?"

Lady Song touched her head, wondering if her daughter had a fever or bumped her head.

Previously, asking her to cultivate was like trying to kill her.

Now, she’s voluntarily proposing to cultivate?

She impatiently asked Song Shiyong, "What exactly is going on here?"

Song Shiyong sipped his tea and explained the situation to his mother.

Lady Song gasped, "There are such coincidences in the world?"

Song Shiyong laughed, "Indeed, we just met with the tutor responsible for admissions on Liangshan Island. Despite their young age, they’ve already broken through to the True Immortal Realm, far surpassing the teachers at Qizhou Academy."

The little girl teased, "Yeah, the key is they’re also pretty. Brother was smitten the first time he met the beautiful elder sister."

"What nonsense are you talking!"

Song Shiyong blushed and reached out to slap her.

Lady Song stopped the two siblings and thought for a moment, "We need to discuss this with your father."

Song Shiyong hurriedly said, "There’s no time; admissions end before Qingming. If delayed, we’ll miss this year’s opportunity and have to wait until next year. Do you really want to endure this little rascal for another year? Do we even have enough space left in the house?"

"You!"

The little girl gritted her teeth but did not argue; instead, she held Lady Song’s hand, "Mom, I’ve thought it over, I really want to stay on Liangshan Island to cultivate. Please let me go! I’m begging you!"

She cuddled up to Lady Song, acting cute and spoiled, quickly softening Lady Song’s heart who readily agreed, "Fine, since neither of you has any objections, you can go first. I’ll discuss it with your father once he returns."

"Thanks, mom!"

The little girl and her less assertive fourth brother said simultaneously.

Lady Song glanced at her son, wondering if he was bewitched; why does he seem even happier than his sister?

She packed a luggage for her daughter at home and reluctantly saw the siblings off the next day.

Though the little girl’s antics were troublesome, sending her away left Lady Song feeling pained with tears welling up.

Song Shiyong took the little girl to Liangshan Island, where the admissions plaza was lined with long queues, bustling with people as it was yesterday.

Few children met the criteria, typically old enough but lacking sufficient cultivation.

Achieving Foundation Establishment at age three is a rarity, a genius among thousands.

Song Shiyong looked around but did not see Liu Ruyan.

At that moment, there was a shoving from behind.

Someone accompanied by a batch of servants approached, disdainfully shouting at the parents in front, "Are your children’s cultivation levels even worthy of showing off here? Hurry and make way for the young master from our household, whose qualification you’re all familiar with."

The crowd unhappily voiced, "Who are you? There’s a rule about first-come-first-served!"

"Yeah, who says my kid isn’t good? My child grew up on ten-tonic pills, establishing foundation right after birth."

"What about your young master, even a Heavenly King has to wait in line!"

"..."

The person unconcernedly introduced, "Look carefully, I’m Li Gu, the steward from the Ducal Residence of Yan. Anyone with objections here, don’t expect to mix in Yan Province anymore!"

"Duke of Yan, Lu Junyi?"

"No wonder they’re so arrogant, turns out they’re from the Ducal Residence of Yan."

"Oh my goodness, even the son of Jade Kirin Lu Junyi is coming here to cultivate!"

"I heard the Duke of Yan is the disciple of Iron Arm Immortal Zhou Tong, why not send his son there?"

"..."

The chatter left everyone uneasy, no one dared to challenge this person.

Li Gu nodded and flattered, inviting the young master to cut the queue, this young boy should be about five years old.

He, however, instructed righteously, "Everyone’s in line, why are you stirring trouble for special treatment? If we act like this, aren’t you afraid of bringing mishaps to Duke of Yan?"

"It’s for your sake!"

Li Gu nodded repeatedly, feeling the humiliation of trying to please someone and failing.

The young master ordered seriously, "I will line up alone, you and the others should go back!"

Li Gu raised his eyebrows, "That’s not proper, is it?"

The young master stared at him, "Are you not listening to me now?"

"No, how dare I!"

Li Gu had the luggage put down and quickly called his subordinates to retreat.

He cursed internally, thinking this young master is really oblivious to things outside, trying to help but causing trouble.

If he’s not allowed to manage, he wouldn’t want to serve him.

After he left, the young master patiently stood in line with his luggage waiting.

The luggage wasn’t light, but he carried it with ease.

Little Qingdou seemed intrigued, went over and blinked inquisitively, "Little brother, what’s your name?"

The boy glanced at her and calmly replied, "Yan Qing!"

"Qing? What a coincidence, my name also has a Qing character!"

Little Qingdou joyfully introduced, "I’m Qingdou, so we’ll be fellow disciples from now on."

"Good luck to you!"

The boy nodded without saying much else.

"Boring man!"

Little Qingdou shrugged and went back, provoking her brother’s mischievous laughter, "What happened, hit a snag? You finally have your day, rushing over to the handsome young gentleman!"

Little Qingdou glanced at him, reminding him, "Please watch your language, I’m still a young girl!"

Song Shiyong laughed, "In the cultivation world, we look at cultivation level, not age. Little lady of the Enlightenment Realm, how much do you know, fourth brother understands more than others."

"Go away! Truly spoiling the mood."

Little Qingdou sulkily snatched the luggage from him, forcibly pushing him away.

Song Shiyong found no meaning staying without encountering Liu Ruyan.

He waved his hand, bored, "Then I’m off, contact me with the transmission jade if anything comes up."

Before leaving, he turned back and purposely teased his sister with a comment, "Remember, don’t become infatuated!"

"You!"

Little Qingdou raised a fist, almost tempted to sew her fourth brother’s mouth shut.
