three

The ice python has been unjustly scolded today, harboring a belly full of anger, and intends to use this oblivious creature before it as a blood sacrifice

Xiao Ziyu was taken aback; he vaguely suspected that Hua Qian had a connection with the Spirit Mage and had also made up his mind to become a Spirit Mage. However, he did not expect things to progress so quickly. Yesterday he wanted to cultivate his spirit, and today he was going to register, as if the Spirit Mage sect was as common as cabbage, easily accessible. He weakly raised an objection: "I don't know anything."

Hua Qian initially suspected that there was an issue with the food, nearly destroying her own cooking utensils in the kitchen. After calling for a doctor, she learned that it was due to Xiao Ziyu's long-term avoidance of greasy foods, which had caused her digestive system to react poorly to the excessive oiliness, thus sparing the ice python. The ice python, having worked hard, suffered an undeserved disaster, and its resentment towards Xiao Ziyu increased further.

Hua Qian gestured for him to go to the kitchen to fetch breakfast, humbly saying, "I rarely cook, so it may not taste very good"

The head constable was nearly scared to the point of losing control. He mustered his courage and looked at Hua Qian from head to toe once more, increasingly convinced that her calm expression was a sign of profound mystery, and her lack of a smile was a harbinger of death. Perhaps she had a deep background and possessed formidable magical artifacts, ready to draw them out at any moment to behead him. His own county magistrate was a coward who trembled at the thought of confronting the Spirit Mage Association, and it was certain that any attempt to intervene would be futile. He estimated that even if he were to be killed, it would be in vain. His flirtatious wife was not one to be kept, and she would undoubtedly remarry! ... He did not know who would take advantage of this situation, and his child would have to call someone else 'father'...

Xiao Ziyu has been denied for many years, lacking confidence, and is momentarily unable to make a decision: "How about in a couple of days?"

This shouldn't be the case

His master is the most powerful and beautiful goddess of the Ten Days and Eight Desolations, and he takes pride in his master

Hua Qian cast a glance at Captain Xu, repeatedly stroking her sword

"No, that's not right, you can't die," Hua Qianshun suddenly realized that Xiao Ziyu was not one of her thick-skinned subordinates who could take insults, but a sensitive human being who could not withstand provocation. If Xiao Ziyu truly took her words to heart and despaired to the point of death, it would be disastrous. Therefore, she hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, where there's a will, there's a way. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Let's get to Qicheng first and then think about other things. Life is precious, and living is the most beautiful thing in the world. Unless absolutely necessary, do not take life-threatening risks. Even if there is danger, let me go first. You must not undervalue yourself; you must live, and live well..." She explained so much that she felt like throwing up.

"Failing, should one just die?" Xiao Ziyu asked in a daze

The head constable shivered, and with a loud shout, the constables on either side immediately pounced, dragging the ignorant young man under control, scolding him: "Even if the shape of the snake bracelet resembles a snake, it is still a combat tool, not a spiritual tool for controlling living beings. You uncultured country bumpkin! Do you understand anything at all? Stop spouting nonsense! Does the esteemed spirit master need to send snakes to kill your parents in the middle of the night? It's not like they have nothing better to do! With a single stroke of the tool, even if you had seven or eight parents, you would still die!"

He is the beloved darling of the master

Hua Qian frowned slightly: "You are somewhat clever, but why bother meeting the old tiger? It only adds trouble."

Xiao Ziyu angrily said: "Xiao Zijian, don't think about settling personal scores! You are just bullying young girls!"

Although the master has a bit of a bad temper, is somewhat irritable, and employs cruel methods, and is not particularly gentle, she is still very beautiful! Incredibly beautiful! Among the countless deities and demons captivated by her in the vast expanse of the universe, there are at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand. So many talented young men kneel before her, seeking her favor, only to be kicked aside without a glance. As the master's soul artifact, he is the only male who can always stay by her side! He is also her trusted right-hand man on the battlefield! As the master's soul artifact, he is the only male who can always stay by her side! He is also her trusted right-hand man on the battlefield!

But who can blame him for being Xiao Yunfan's son? Who can blame him for being frail and sickly? Who can blame the master for not daring to act rashly, fearing to harm this fragile creature? Considering that such a weak individual could actually compel the number one battle weapon of the demon realm to prepare a meal for him, and force the most beautiful war goddess of the three realms to serve him tea and water, if this matter were to spread back to the three realms, all the gods, demons, and immortals would be left in shock.

Humans are truly difficult to nurture, a thousand times more challenging than waging war

What is this little brat worth? By what right does he receive the master's tenderness?

In any case, regarding his relationship with Xiao Zijian, it is not his place to offer comfort from the beginning to the end of the village.

The bond of brotherhood and sisterhood, the sworn siblings, is abundant in storytelling! When Captain Xu noticed that the future sorcerer was speaking increasingly sternly, he felt that his life was in danger and quickly echoed, "It's normal, it's normal! That fellow is just a petty person, small in stature and small-minded, how can he compare to you?" He patted Xiao Ziyu on the shoulder, giving a thumbs up and continuously praising, "Little brother, you are of noble character! You truly embody the spirit of chivalry that we admire in Luoshui County, you are the pride of Luoshui County, I admire you, big brother!"

Although he, as a male, is very self-aware and does not dare to foolishly hope for the affection of his master, he can only silently harbor a crush.

Xiao Ziyu raised her fist to strike, but was stopped by Hua Qian. "That's enough," she said, putting down the empty bowl and spoon, gently wiping her mouth. From her sleeve, she took out several identity documents and travel permits, mixed with a beautifully printed recommendation letter on a black background with gold lettering, and handed them all to Captain Xu, saying, "This is my background."

Hua Qian turned her hand over, revealing her wrist, which was adorned with a gray serpentine bracelet. Suddenly, the transparent stone on the serpent's head emitted a soft white light, faint as moonlight. This layer of moonlight gradually enveloped her entire palm, distorting and elongating its shape. When the moonlight faded, the serpent bracelet had vanished, and a short sword, glimmering with a cold light, had appeared in her palm. The sword was over a foot long, featuring barbs and blood grooves, with fine patterns resembling snake scales. The hilt was shaped like a serpent's head, still embedded with that glowing transparent gem. Hua Qian flipped the short sword twice, and it suddenly released several streams of sword energy, violently brushing past the heads of a few people, cutting off three or four strands of hair, exuding a menacing killing intent. Hua Qian gently touched the short sword, seemingly soothing its temper, and softly said: "The magical artifact, Serpent Bracelet · Ice Python, has a very bad temper and does not like to be disturbed. It is a bit angry now; do you still wish to see it?"

Xiao Ziyu held the rabbit leg, decisively took a bite, and feasted with abandon, getting grease all over her mouth

Hua Qian: "With injured legs and feet, possessing treasures, why speak of it?"

Inspector Xu, having received the bribe, felt a renewed motivation regarding the case. He initially thought to merely brush things off and teach a lesson to the two poor souls, in order to justify the bribe given to him by Xiao Zijian. To his surprise, this beautiful young girl actually disdained him, showing a complete lack of respect for the rules! Inspector Xu's intention to dismiss the matter quickly vanished. He looked down from his elevated position, scrutinizing Hua Qian from head to toe, and sternly interrogated: "Where do you come from? Why have you settled in Xiao Family Village? Do not attempt to deceive me with clumsy lies; there is nothing in this world that I cannot uncover. If you dare utter even half a lie, you will be sent directly to the magistrate's office, stripped of your skirt and given a beating!"

Xiao Ziyu cautiously asked, "Why didn't you say so earlier"

Xiao Ziyu resolutely stated: "I have a reason to bid her farewell."

The pitiful Zhutian Serpent Bracelet was incessantly wailing in its heart

Hua Qian hurriedly took him to the spiritual retreat, pressing him with the question: "What is it that you are so afraid of?"

"Damn it!" Xiao Zijian exposed his clumsy lies, "We all grew up wearing open-crotch pants in the village. Do you really have such a distant relative? I wouldn't know? Look at your 'cousin,' with her delicate and tender appearance, how does she resemble a country girl? She looks more precious than the daughters of the wealthy families in our village. If you really had such rich relatives, would you still be in a situation where you can't afford your next meal?"

No, I am not! How can a man of great stature be looked down upon by a girl? Xiao Ziyu's face turned red as he retorted fiercely, "My plan is to live frugally for half a year, work hard, save enough money, and at least gather enough for our fare to Qicheng and the living expenses that follow. Then I will participate in the exams in the second half of the year. My grandfather said that one must not only consider the present but also be prepared for setbacks and make a comeback."

Xiao Ziyu felt restless under the gaze, looking around but not seeing anyone else. Instead, he noticed the bracelet on Hua Qian's wrist and casually remarked, "Your bracelet is quite beautiful"

Xiao Zijian's mind was not so convoluted, still shouting: "What need is there for an apprentice of the Spirit Master to act mysterious? Hiding one's identity! Captain, you must not believe this demoness's nonsense! She is surely a disguise of a monster! Captain, we must force her to reveal her true form!"

Captain Xu was infuriated to the point of losing his composure over this mindless matter

Chief Xu, with a pale face, shook his head vigorously: "No, no, it is sufficient to let Lord Ice Python rest!"

Hua Qian's correction: "It is a recommendation for apprentices who have not yet entered the field, and there is still a significant difference."

After uncovering the truth of the matter, he no longer indulged in wild thoughts and slowly supported Hua Qian as they returned to his room.

Having been called "the tuberculosis ghost" and "the good-for-nothing" by the villagers for fourteen years, Xiao Ziyu felt a profound lack of confidence in the inexplicable faith that Hua Qian had in him

Xiao Zijian, unaware of the severity of the situation, continued to shout, while several nonchalant constables had already straightened their postures and stood upright

Have you heard the story of waiting by the stump for a rabbit? Rabbits are quite foolish creatures. "Hua Qian tore off a rabbit's leg and handed it to him, saying, 'Perhaps the gods know we are hungry and sent this rabbit to sacrifice itself for us. I will serve you some porridge; you are too thin and need to eat more.'"

Although he, as a magical instrument, cannot express his infatuation and affection towards his master

Hua Qian casually glanced and said: "Hmm, it's just quite foolish."

He spent an entire night by the river, hiding in a corner, learning from the rural aunties how to wield a pestle, controlling the strength in his hands. After much effort, he managed to wash his master's clothes until they were white and clean. He then went into the woods to catch rabbits, pouring all his love into the grill, meticulously barbecuing. After ruining about ten rabbits, he finally produced this perfect dish to present to his master, hoping to see a satisfied smile and receive a compliment. However, what use is the praise of this paramecium? What is a paramecium worth? With just one finger, he could crush hundreds of them without needing change. He should obediently starve to death instead of eating the meals prepared by his esteemed master! Oh my! Another rabbit leg? His master actually smiled and gave him the best meat to eat. Where is the justice in this?

Hua Qian regretted not having the ice python eliminate the problem completely and clean up the mess. She glanced at the door and then turned around to sit down

Hua Qian completely lost confidence, and she decided to quickly take Xiao Ziyu away, handing her over to someone skilled in raising children, such as her master or similar individuals, as soon as possible, to prevent Xiao Ziyu from repeating the same mistakes as the turtle in her care. She suggested, "Shall we go to Qicheng now to participate in the Spirit Mage assessment?"

In the Cloud Mist Continent, there are Mage Associations in various regions. Every year, these associations recommend a number of children to study at major sects. Students who receive such recommendations only need to possess some aptitude and pass the Mage assessment to be selected, thus they are referred to as recommended apprentices. Most of them come from noble families that have good relations with the spiritual cultivation sects, although a few truly talented children from impoverished backgrounds are also mixed in. Xiao Ziyu's father was identified by the Mage Association as a once-in-a-century genius, recognized as the most promising spiritual cultivation apprentice of that year, and was sought after by various sects. Unfortunately, this matter only circulated within the spiritual cultivation community and was not disclosed to the public. The Xiao family village is a remote place, and as the truth was passed around, it became distorted.

Xiao Zijian, full of youthful bravado, shouted loudly: "Snake bracelet! Snake bracelet! Look! It's a snake! My parents were bitten to death by a snake!"

Hua Qian did not pay him any attention and leisurely asked, "You say I am the murderer, and you intend to leave just like this?"

The goddess is a doer, taking action as soon as she speaks

Since Hua Qian arrived at his home, his luck has improved significantly

Is he more handsome than him? Is he taller than him? Is he more capable than him? Is he more loyal, competent, and reliable than him?

The ice python watched helplessly as his goddess rolled up her sleeves to serve porridge, her hands that wielded swords and commanded thousands of troops were surprisingly placed on a broken wooden spoon, serving this insignificant little brat who was as small as a paramecium... it was truly pathetic... The ice python felt so bitter that he wished he could transform back into his original form, the candle dragon, to roll on the ground, only to overturn several mountain peaks with his enormous tail, destroy dozens of towns, and wreak havoc on the crops for miles around to alleviate the bitterness in his heart

No one noticed that in a fit of extreme anger, Xiao Zijian's bleeding palm had unconsciously emitted a faint wisp of smoke, which vanished in an instant

Only upon arriving at Qicheng and entering the Sorcerers' Association can their safety be guaranteed

Xiao Ziyu happily cradled his round belly after finishing the last two bites of porridge to rest, but it wasn't long before he experienced a stomachache

There is absolutely nothing! He is just a useless person! Useless! A complete waste!

The master is enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens; he cannot act rashly and jeopardize the master's significant affairs

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Xiao Ziyu instantly understood what Hua Qian had just said; she wanted to participate in the Spirit Master assessment, and taking him along to Qicheng was the most opportune moment.

Xiao Zijian, accustomed to being domineering, could not tolerate such ridicule. He glared fiercely at Captain Xu, raising his fist to strike, but was kicked to the ground by several constables behind him, instantly rendered unable to rise. With a damaged corner of his eye, blood and tears mingled, tracing long streaks of blood and tears down his cheek. He continued to stare intently at Hua Qian, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of her flesh.

The head constable struck him hard once more, knocking him unconscious and dragging him away, venting his frustration: "Take this troublemaker to prison and deal with him properly."

In summary, the recommended apprentices in the spiritual realm are either the offspring of the powerful or spiritual prodigies, and neither type is to be trifled with

Before she could finish her sentence, a roar came from outside the door: "Get out of the way, you little brat!" It was Xiao Zijian, accompanied by Captain Xu and several constables, standing outside with grim faces. He shoved Xiao Ziyu, causing her to stumble, and then stood menacingly in front of Hua Qian, pointing and shouting: "This girl of unknown origin is definitely up to no good!"

"Who the hell believes that a spiritual master would fool around with this poor kid? And what kind of siblings? Bah! Where did this relative of the Xiao family come from?" Xiao Zijian, unable to read the room and unwilling to let it go, pressed on with red eyes, "You think you can just scribble a few words on a piece of paper and deceive us? What audacity!"

The ice python gazed at Xiao Ziyu with deep resentment, contemplating how it would swallow him whole once he lost his usefulness, completely obliterating him without a trace, lest he become a laughingstock in the illustrious history of its master

Xiao Ziyu rushed into the kitchen and was completely stunned. There were four small dishes, a large bowl of mixed grain porridge, and a shiny, golden-brown rabbit lying on the plate, emanating an enticing aroma. This was the first step in Hua Qian's plan to take care of Xiao Ziyu. She believed that if the child ate and drank well, their health would improve.

Although Xiao Ziyu is intelligent, she is quite naive

Head Constable Xu arrogantly took the document and casually flipped through it. "I know about Fengtiandao in Nanyang; it is located to the south of us, over the sea. Every year, merchant caravans pass through our county. I have heard that the demons there are quite rampant. The coconut flour and white sugar produced there are quite good, and my wife particularly loves them. Your father is a wealthy man, and the Hua family is indeed a prominent household on Fengtiandao. I wouldn't have guessed you were the daughter of a merchant. How could your parents allow such a young child to venture out alone? Hmph, there must be something strange about this." Ordinary people traveling far require documents issued by the authorities. Head Constable Xu was not unknowledgeable; he recognized the official seal on the document as genuine. Not wanting to get entangled in it, he continued to look at the black document. After just a glance, his expression changed. He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked again, and the more he looked, the wider his eyes became. When he finally set the document down, his expression shifted several times. The original arrogance vanished without a trace, and instead, he bent down with a smile and asked, "Are you the spiritual cultivation apprentice recommended from Fengtiandao to Qicheng for assessment this year? Truly a young talent, handsome and elegant—no, rather, beautiful and extraordinary. A hero emerges from a young lady! No wonder you dare to travel alone across the south and north. I wonder how the young lady came to visit our humble Luoshui County?"

Xiao Ziyu attained enlightenment quickly, but the abilities of the recommended apprentice are still quite weak. Hua Qian set out alone to undergo an assessment, carrying a precious magical artifact. If her identity is not concealed and the news spreads, what will happen if she catches the attention of the demon cultivators among the spiritual mages? They might resort to murder and theft. The recommended apprentice is far from being on par with a formal spiritual mage; in a confrontation, how could they possibly compare? Those villains, driven by the desire for the magical artifact and to prevent the Spiritual Mage Association from learning of this matter, would certainly not stop at just killing Hua Qian; they would also eliminate him to silence him! No wonder Hua Qian chose to stay at his home; she probably thought that with fewer people, it would be easier to hide. Those villains, driven by the desire for the magical artifact and to prevent the Spiritual Mage Association from learning of this matter, would certainly not stop at just killing Hua Qian; they would also eliminate him to silence him! No wonder Hua Qian chose to stay at his home; she probably thought that with fewer people, it would be easier to hide.

"Could it be that you are a coward?" Hua Qiandun suddenly realized and clapped her hands, concluding, "Yes, you are a timid person, a worthless individual, an incompetent, a mere paramecium, lacking courage is only to be expected." A series of insults flowed from her lips, her voice still gentle and melodious, devoid of any sense of malice, instead resembling a statement of fact, which sent a chill down one's spine, as if one had fallen into an ice cave.

"Where could it be? Have I disturbed you for half a day? Am I such an inconsiderate person?" Xu the captain immediately brought the silver he received from Xiao Zijian to Hua Qian's presence, "Lord Hua, you are going to Qicheng and it will be a long journey. This small amount of silver is my humble tribute to cover your expenses on the way to Qicheng. It is not a proper gift, not a proper gift."

Perhaps the sorcerer has reasons for killing! Do demons and monsters have any reason when they devour people

The spirit mage is someone the little constable cannot provoke; can he provoke the demons?

Xiao Ziyu had never been praised so shamelessly by anyone, and her face turned red

Hua Qian finally nodded, indicating that he should place it on the table instead of taking it.

Hua Qian: "You're welcome, as long as you don't die, it's fine. I didn't plan to take you to Qicheng right now, because I am ... ... "

"Failure, why bother living?" Hua Qian, who despised cowards the most, was enraged upon hearing this. She was accustomed to reprimanding others and immediately retorted, "If you fail, just go die." Every word Hua Qian uttered was like a knife, ruthlessly stabbing at his heart. "You do not have much in terms of resources, nor do you have many alternatives or support. You are so insignificant. If you wish to realize your dreams, you need a determination stronger than that of ordinary people, a determination that must be unwavering even in the face of perilous challenges. There can be no hesitation, or else there will be no hope. You must understand that once you become a true spiritual mage, the dangers you will face in slaying demons and monsters will be even greater. Will you abandon everyone and flee when you encounter an unbeatable demon, leaving revenge for another day?" You do not have much in terms of resources, nor do you have many alternatives or support. You are so insignificant. If you wish to realize your dreams, you need a determination stronger than that of ordinary people, a determination that must be unwavering even in the face of perilous challenges. There can be no hesitation, or else there will be no hope. You must understand that once you become a true spiritual mage, the dangers you will face in slaying demons and monsters will be even greater. Will you abandon everyone and flee when you encounter an unbeatable demon, leaving revenge for another day? You must fight to the death for your teammates, using your life to slow the enemy's advance. If you do not even have the resolve to die, it would be better not to become a spiritual mage, to stay in Xiao Family Village, and continue living a life of servitude, bowing and scraping, surviving on charity, at least you can live a stable life in this world."

He is but a humble little constable, scraping by on a meager salary each month, spending his days catching chickens, beating dogs, and gambling. His visit to Xiaojia Village was merely to seek some easy gains. As for the mysterious beautiful young girl, he only wanted to see if there were any opportunities to take advantage of. Who would have thought he would kick a hard rock? Xu, the constable, wished he could drag Xiaozijian, who had urged him to come here, and slaughter him, repeatedly scolding him: "Shut up!"

Xiao Zijian still wanted to resist, but he was firmly restrained by the constable. He glared fiercely at Hua Qian: "What nonsense about being an apprentice of a spirit master, I absolutely do not believe it. I will uncover your true identity."

The killing intent of the ice python gradually subsided, transforming once again into a snake bracelet, wrapping around her wrist.

Hua glanced at him twice and confidently said: "Although I do not know how the current assessment for spiritual practitioners is conducted, you will do very well." Having lived for over ten thousand years and having killed countless spiritual practitioners, she has a profound understanding of spiritual cultivation. She can identify a human's spiritual potential without the aid of any tools. While examining Xiao Ziyu's body, she also discovered his rare and exceptional talent. Although his physical condition is somewhat lacking, various sects will still compete to recruit him.

Xiao Ziyu could hardly believe it: "Is there really such a foolish rabbit in the world?"

Xiao Ziyu had not tasted meat for more than half a year. He stared at the rabbit, swallowing hard twice, rubbing his eyes to confirm that he was not dreaming. Hua Qian explained, "This morning, I saw this rabbit running in a panic and crashing into that rock, so I picked it up. Aren't we lucky?"

Under heaven, which mortal dares to provoke a sorcerer, to provoke the Sorcerers' Association? Not even a future sorcerer dares to do so

Xiao Ziyu decisively made the decision: "Let’s go! Let’s leave immediately! I will say goodbye to everyone, inform the old tiger, and then we will head to Qicheng!"

The head constable glared: "Look at your father's thieving, rat-like appearance, and your mother's daily wandering around the village with such lewdness. Hmph! Even if someone harmed them, it was still their own doing! Get lost! The farther, the better!" Then he quickly turned back to apologize, "I spoke too bluntly, and have sullied the ears of Lord Hua Qian. I will take this little brat back for some education. Please... please do not take it to heart.

Xiao Ziyu's speculation in his mind was confirmed, and he asked Hua Qian with reverence: "Are you a Spirit Mage? Do you possess magical artifacts?"

Xiao Zijian noticed the sudden change in the wind direction and sensed something was amiss. He angrily questioned Hua Qian: "I heard that spirit masters all possess magical tools. Where is your magical tool? Why don't you take it out for me to see?"

What? If you're not happy, come and challenge me! Xiao Zijian glared angrily, standing in front of him, "Isn't it just a little girl? Who knows, she might be a fox in human form!"

A group of people arrives like a tempest, and departs like a gentle breeze and light rain

Now, Xiao Zijian has set a trap to capture people, forcing Hua Qian to reveal her true identity to Captain Xu. The secret is likely no longer safe

He believed the words of Captain Xu, thinking that Xiaojia Village was merely a poor place where many people had never ventured beyond the county town in their entire lives. Even if there were grievances, it would not lead to attracting any formidable figures. Snakes have harmed people since ancient times; although the viper is rare, there have been instances of them coming to the village and injuring people, perhaps accidentally released by a snake seller from their cage. Xiao Zijian was simply deeply affected by the death of his parents and was struggling to accept reality.

Xiao Ziyu noticed the anger of Captain Xu and quickly smoothed things over: "She is my distant cousin, a little girl who has not seen much of the world and does not understand the rules well. I hope Captain Xu can forgive her."

It is said that they are formidable characters capable of splitting mountains and dividing seas, and can eat tiger meat as a side dish! Killing a few ordinary people is as easy as drinking water!

Who has seven or eight parents? Xiao Zijian was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, and even the constable who stopped him couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this remark

The local authorities possess the preliminary recommendation rights for apprentices. Those recommended will undergo a further review by the Grand Association of Sorcerers in the Five Great Cities. The majority of the decision revolves around whether the apprentice will be accepted by a major sect or a minor sect. Regardless of which sect they eventually join, Hua Qian is destined to become a sorcerer in the future

However, for thousands of years, it is he who is the only master, loyal, reliable, strong, and handsome...

Xiao Ziyu seemed not to notice what she was saying behind him, sitting there in a daze, lost in thought. Suddenly, he spoke: "I am sorry, thank you for waking me up with your scolding. I should not be cowardly. Being a Spirit Mage is a profession that encompasses both danger and glory. If I am afraid even to participate in the Spirit Mage assessment, then I am not qualified to be a Spirit Mage."

Hua Qian raised her head slightly and explained arrogantly: "On my way to Qicheng, the carriage had an accident and fell in Xiaojia Village, injuring my leg. I am deeply grateful to Xiaojia Ziyu for taking me in to recuperate. I fear that outsiders may gossip and think of me as a sister-in-law. Why would I need the approval of a petty person like you?"
