"Alright, let's stop talking about all this. Qingling has finally broken out of her cocoon—today we must celebrate properly."
Ning Rongrong's suggestion was unanimously agreed upon by Zhu Zhuqing, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong.
Today was indeed a good day.
It just so happened to be the day when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect held its martial soul awakening ceremony.
It could truly be called double happiness!
"Come on, don't just stand there foolishly."
Ning Rongrong proactively grabbed Qingling's jade-like hand. It was soft and warm—very comfortable to hold.
Walking out of the room and moving through the sect, Qingling suddenly noticed something was not quite right.
The sect was unusually lively today, something she had never seen before.
Something abnormal must be going on!
"Huh… the sect is so lively today."
Looking at the bustling crowd within the sect, Chen Qingling spoke with slight surprise.
This was the first time she had ever seen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect so lively.
She didn't know what had happened.
"Of course it's lively—today is the day of martial soul awakening."
"Oh right, Qingling, aren't you going to see the sister you acknowledged?"
"Today is also the day she awakens her martial soul!"
Hearing this, Chen Qingling's eyes lit up. She nodded slightly.
"Yes, I should go see Chu'er."
Chen Chu'er was a pitiful child Qingling had picked up in the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
She had suffered betrayal twice.
First, she was abandoned by her family.Second, her family even sent people to hunt her down.
Her unfortunate childhood was a wound that could never be fully healed.
Because of this, Qingling did her best to give Chu'er a relatively good environment, hoping to ease the psychological trauma left by her tragic childhood.
"Ning Hu, martial soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, innate soul power level five."
"Ning Youchu, martial soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, innate soul power level six."
Before long, the sect disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect awakened their martial souls one after another, yet none had particularly high innate soul power.
After the sect disciples finished awakening, it was the turn of those with external surnames—people who would serve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for life.
"Bai Ling, martial soul: Phantom Sound Bell, innate soul power level four."
"Xu Huailiu, martial soul: Light Blade, innate soul power level four."
"Xu Que, martial soul: Blazing Light Leopard, innate soul power level seven. Mm, not bad—quite talented."
"In the future, you can cultivate within the sect's core areas. We will build a suitable mimetic cultivation ground for you."
"Many thanks for Third Elder's appreciation. I will certainly devote myself fully to serving the sect!"
"Good, good, good." The Third Elder nodded repeatedly, his face full of smiles.
The sect had produced a small talent—how could he not be happy?
Of course, compared to Qingling, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth, utterly incomparable.
The Third Elder turned his head and saw Qingling and the other two women approaching. He immediately cupped his hands respectfully.
"Young Sect Master."
"Qingling, you've come out of seclusion?"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
As an elder of the sect, he naturally knew something about Qingling's situation.
"Mm, Elder, please continue with your work," Chen Qingling replied calmly, her gaze falling upon the little girl standing before the Third Elder, replacing Xu Que's position.
That was the younger sister Qingling had taken in.
Chen Chu'er.
"Alright, alright."
The Third Elder continued awakening martial souls for those with external surnames.
"Next, Chen Chu'er."
Chen Chu'er nervously stepped forward, extending her hand to place it upon the crystal orb.
Time passed second by second, yet the orb showed no reaction.
The Third Elder's eyes revealed regret as he shook his head and sighed.
"Chen Chu'er—no martial soul."
No martial soul.
These three words struck Chen Chu'er's mind like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned as her body staggered backward.
No martial soul!
She had no martial soul!
The aspirations she once set for herself shattered into nothingness at this moment.
Without a martial soul, she could not cultivate—how could she ever fulfill her ambitions?
Seeing Chen Chu'er emotionally unstable, her elder sister Chen Qingling quietly came to her side, supporting her body to prevent her from falling to the ground.
"Chu'er… don't be too sad. Even without a martial soul, you can still help the sect manage its businesses."
Chen Chu'er lowered her head, tears glistening in her eyes.
She had long looked forward to the day of awakening, yet the heavens had played the cruelest joke on her.
No martial soul.
She would be ordinary her entire life, unable to follow in Sister Qingling's footsteps.
"Qingling-jie… Chu'er, I… am I really useless?"
"I'm completely a piece of trash. No wonder my family abandoned me… there must have been a reason."
"Chu'er, stop saying that. Those things are all in the past—let them stay in the past…"
Chen Qingling hugged Chu'er's thin, fragile body.
"No matter what, even if you don't have a martial soul, you will always be my little sister."
"As long as your sister is here, I won't let anyone bully you."
Bullying?
Who would dare bully Chen Chu'er?
Although Chu'er joined later, her status within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was by no means low.
With Qingling and Ning Rongrong protecting her, who would dare touch her?
Chen Chu'er was deeply moved, but the thought of having no martial soul still left her dejected.
Suddenly, Chen Chu'er remembered something.
Because of the shock of failing to awaken a martial soul, her mind had been in chaos, and she had almost forgotten about Qingling's situation.
"Qingling-jie… you finally came out. When Chu'er heard about your cocoon transformation, I was so worried about you."
Qingling gently stroked Chu'er's hair with practiced ease.
"Oh my, isn't your sister standing right here, safe and sound? What's there to worry about?"
"Chu'er, let's go."
She took Chu'er's small hand, and under Ning Rongrong's lead, they headed toward the dining hall.
It was rare to return to the sect, and after such a long time before seeing Chu'er again, Qingling felt a bit guilty.
Halfway there, Chen Qingling spoke softly.
"Chu'er, do you blame me? For not coming to see you until now?"
Chu'er quickly shook her head.
"No, Chu'er doesn't blame Qingling-jie. I know you're always very busy, so I understand."
"Qingling-jie, don't feel burdened. Chu'er really doesn't blame you."
Ning Rongrong coughed lightly.
"Today is a good day. Let's not talk about such sad things."
"Qingling, is there anything you particularly like to eat? I'll have the kitchen aunties make it for you."
"As long as it's food, I'm fine with anything," Chen Qingling replied casually. She wasn't picky at all.
After all, having grown up in a thatched hut, having food at all was already good enough—how could she afford to be picky?
"Tch… alright then." Ning Rongrong shrugged helplessly. She had wanted to prepare a feast of Qingling's favorite dishes, but Qingling simply didn't have any preferences.
Unlike herself… she was quite picky, with rather high standards for ingredients.
Someone as perfect and flawless as Qingling was truly rare in this world.
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed.
At the same time, her admiration for Qingling reached an incomparable height.
Qingling's image in Ning Rongrong's heart expanded infinitely—no one could be compared to her.
Ning Rongrong looked at Chen Qingling's smile and momentarily fell into a daze.
Such a woman belongs only in the heavens; how many times could one encounter her in the mortal world?
Perhaps Ning Rongrong's gaze was too intense, drawing Qingling's attention.
"Rongrong? What's wrong with you?"
