CHAPTER 491: CHAPTER 489: SHE’S SOMEWHAT CUTE

Zhu Chuanli had helped Song Jian recover his "daughter," so he rewarded Zhu Chuanli with quite a few nice things.

Song You was brought back to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and she lived close to Nan Xian and Qing Dai.

When she first returned, Song Jian did not immediately come to see her.

Song You did not know anyone in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, so she stayed in her room every day.

Qing Dai noticed someone had moved in next door and occasionally went to the door to take a look.

"How did this person move to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"

Qing Dai stroked her chin, looking towards the room where Nan Xian was.

Nan Xian sat cross-legged by the window, stabilizing his soul.

The two had argued last time and hadn’t spoken to each other since.

Without Nan Xian seeking her out, and Qing Dai not looking for him, she had no one to keep her company and alleviate her boredom. For someone as talkative as Qing Dai, the days were incredibly dull.

"Should I go tease her?"

Qing Dai found the person next door to be Song You and actually felt a bit uncomfortable.

The last time she saw Song You, that woman was in cahoots with Guan Lin.

Having nothing better to do, Qing Dai ventured out to a mountain behind the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

These past days, she had cultivated a little bit of Spiritual Power within her body.

Although her cultivation seemed low now, she was able to access items in her Storage Space. The items in her possession were treasures given to her by the magnates of the Immortal Realm.

Qing Dai captured a green-colored demon snake with a Magic Artifact.

Since this demon snake could use Spiritual Power, she thought it would be fun to scare Song You with it.

Qing Dai pocketed the demon snake and returned the way she came.

She had just neared the place and hadn’t gone to find Song You when she encountered Zhu Chuanli.

"Miss Qing Dai, you’re idle again today?"

Zhu Chuanli was all smiles, seeming in a very good mood.

Everyone inside the sect knew he had found the Sect Leader’s biological daughter. They believed he was certain to be promoted, so the sect’s disciples treated him with even more respect.

Zhu Chuanli also felt that his future was boundless.

He had come here today intending to visit Song You but ran into Qing Dai instead.

Thinking about what Guan Lin had mentioned, a dark shadow flickered in the depths of Zhu Chuanli’s eyes.

"I am free, is Senior Brother Zhu busy?"

Qing Dai often hung around the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, so she knew Zhu Chuanli.

"Since you’re free, how about I take you to a treasure site within the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"

"Just the two of us?"

"Of course not, there will be some disciples from the Inner Sect as well."

Qing Dai’s eyes lit up, "That lively? Then I want to join you!"

She still didn’t know how to return to that Different World and had been idling away her days here, turning moldy.

And she had also had a falling out with Nan Xian.

"I’ll come find you later. I have some matters to attend to with Song You."

"Sure, sure!"

After seeing Qing Dai off, Zhu Chuanli then entered Song You’s room.

"Senior Brother Zhu."

Song You’s mood was somewhat complex upon seeing Zhu Chuanli.

"Why doesn’t the Sect Leader come to see me? Isn’t he my father?"

Judging by Song Jian’s previous attitude, Song You thought that upon returning to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, she would definitely be treated with great importance.

Yet she had been placed in an ordinary yard, and Song Jian hadn’t come to see her again.

"The Sect Leader heard that your mother has passed away, and he is deeply grieved. He hasn’t come back to his senses yet."

Hearing this, Song You could only sigh, "Alright, I just wanted to see my only relative."

"Now that you are back in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, you can see the Sect Leader anytime."

"I want to see him now if that’s possible?"

After all, she was not the real daughter, so Song You was still somewhat apprehensive.

Song Jian hadn’t visited her for a long time, which made her wonder if her identity had been discovered?

"I will take you later."

Zhu Chuanli pondered for a moment, then said to her, "Our Heavenly Mechanism Sect has a rule: positions such as the Sect Leader and elders are only eligible to be inherited by members of the Song Family.

And the position of Young Master has always been reserved for the progeny of the Sect Leader."

Upon hearing this, Song You inevitably felt excited.

After arriving at the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, she had learned just how formidable a major sect of this world could be.

Even the lowest-ranked disciples within the sect were of higher cultivation than hers.

If she could become the Young Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, she would undoubtedly enjoy the best resources; perhaps her cultivation would even surpass that of her Luoshui Clan ancestors!

"But there are exceptions."

Song You inquired, "What kind of accidents?"

"If the Young Master is of poor talent and too low in cultivation, and the disciples within the sect do not approve, then we will select a suitable Young Master from among the outstanding disciples of the current generation.

Your current level of cultivation, I’m afraid, is not enough to convince everyone.

Even if your father is the Sect Leader, the other elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect also have a say.

Some elders have children who are very capable and certainly hope to see their own children become the Young Master.

The son of the Great Elder has reached the Golden Core Stage by now, and the daughter of the Third Elder has also entered the Golden Core Stage not long ago; they are the most outstanding among the current generation of disciples.

The urgent task at hand is for you to enhance your cultivation as quickly as possible."

Song You pursed her lips, "You’re right, my cultivation is indeed too low."

Seeing her worry, Zhu Chuanli reassured her, "Don’t worry about it, I was the one who brought you back, and I will definitely help you with all my strength. The matter of rapidly improving your cultivation is on me!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhu."

Song You looked at Zhu Chuanli with gratitude.

"Let’s go meet the Sect Leader first."

Zhu Chuanli and Song You left the room while Qing Dai happened to be squatting on the wall.

She had been preparing to release a snake, but then she saw them coming out.

Startled, her hand shook and the green demon snake actually shot up her trouser leg.

"Ah! Help!"

Qing Dai fell off the wall.

Zhu Chuanli intended to lend a hand, but a tall figure suddenly appeared.

Nan Xian caught Qing Dai and also pulled the green snake out of her trouser leg.

The demon snake trembled in Nan Xian’s hands.

"What are you doing?"

Nan Xian asked her while Zhu Chuanli and Song You also looked on.

"I... I..."

She was at a loss for words.

Qing Dai buried her head in Nan Xian’s chest.

She felt too ashamed to face anyone, thinking how foolish she had been.

She had wanted to play a trick on that Song You, but instead, she ended up creating such a farce.

Zhu Chuanli asked, "Are you alright?"

"There is a problem! Brother Xian, my foot hurts so much!"

Qing Dai looked up at Nan Xian with tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing her expression, Nan Xian felt a sudden pang in his heart.

He quickly took Qing Dai back to her room to check whether there were any injuries on her leg.

"Actually, I’m fine."

Qing Dai retracted her foot, peering outside.

"Nan Xian, I always feel that Song You is no good."

Having become the butt of a joke, Qing Dai’s cheeks were still somewhat red.

Yet her expression was very earnest.

As the daughter of the Immortal Emperor, she had a better sense of a person’s intrinsic nature than most.

It was also because she sensed that Nan Xian and Song Jian were righteous that she chose to follow them in this Different World.

Nan Xian stared at her delicate, pink-cheeked little face for a good while.

He inexplicably found it quite cute,

and he felt the urge to pinch her cheeks.

His hand at his side moved slightly, but he restrained himself in the end.
