Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi was somewhat puzzled, wondering whose child it was.

“However… this little girl’s vitality isn’t weak; she should only be five or six years old.”

Without much thought, Li Guanqi pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.

The young man who had just entered the gate was stunned in place because the courtyard was simply too exquisite.

Compared to the house he used to live in at Fulong Village, his old house was basically a pigsty…

In the front yard, spring water diverted from Heavenly Thunder Peak flowed through, with small bridges, flowing water, bizarre rocks, and pine trees.

Passing by, there was a stone table, and entering the courtyard was an extremely large main hall, over six zhang in both length and width.

All the furniture in the room was made of brand new rosewood, and passing through the main hall were the resting rooms.

There were three rooms in total, one main and two secondary.

This kind of environment was simply too good; the backyard also had a piece of land, which was a small spiritual garden.

The soil was dark, sprinkled with some cyan powder, which should be fertilizer to maintain the soil in the spiritual garden.

Knock, knock, knock.

Gentle knocking sounded, and Li Guanqi quickly went to open the door, but a gentle voice rang out from outside.

“Junior Brother, take your time~ No need to rush to open the door.”

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, hearing these words…

“Could it be a disciple of Heavenly Thunder Peak?”

“Wasn’t the entry ceremony supposed to be tomorrow?”

Creak~

When Li Guanqi opened the courtyard door, he found that there were actually seven or eight people standing outside, all of whom were older than him.

Each person had a smile on their face, some holding cotton wadding, and some holding things like wooden basins.

When the group saw the strip of cloth covering the young man’s eyes, a hint of heartache flashed in their eyes.

They were all wearing white sect attire, but there were two purple lightning embroidery patterns extending down from the left and right shoulders.

The pattern on the sect flag at the chest had a purple lightning character.

The leader was actually a slightly dark-skinned woman.

The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a high ponytail and an oval face.

Her features were delicate, but her skin was slightly dark, and her big eyes were extremely bright.

The woman glanced at the people beside her with a threatening look, then pointed to the young man’s eyes, signaling everyone not to speak carelessly.

Then, she said in a gentle voice: “Hello, Junior Brother, I am Gu Ran, a disciple under the Second Elder of Heavenly Thunder Peak.”

“You can just call me Senior Sister, hahaha. These are all disciples of our Heavenly Thunder Peak, and they can all be considered your Senior Brothers.”

“We came to find you today mainly because we were afraid you wouldn’t have bedding today.”

Li Guanqi quickly stepped aside, smiling and cupping his fist at the group, saying: “Junior Brother Li Guanqi greets all Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers. Don’t just stand at the door, please come inside.”

Gu Ran beckoned to the people behind her, and they entered the courtyard. Several tall and sturdy Senior Brothers went straight to the main厢房 (xiāngfáng - wing room), spreading out the bedding they had brought.

Looking at the inexplicably busy crowd, the softest part of the young man’s heart was suddenly touched.

The young man’s past experiences were always the deepest hidden things in his heart.

His current personality was also gradually changed by spending eight years with Su Xuan.

Or rather, he was intentionally imitating his grandfather’s free and easy personality.

At this time, Gu Ran came to the young man’s side, holding his arm and walking extremely slowly.

“Walk slowly, first familiarize yourself with the environment. There’s a step here, and coming up is a stone bridge, ten steps.”

“On the right is a stone table, and on the left is the pool water. You have to be careful when you turn around.”

“I’ve already collected the disciple sect uniform from the internal affairs department for you. Try it on later to see if it fits. If it doesn’t fit, I’ll have them exchange it.”

“From now on, treat Heavenly Thunder Peak as your own home, and we are your family.”

“If anything happens, come back to Heavenly Thunder Peak and shout, and your Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters will definitely support you!”

“If anyone dares to bully you, tell me, and Sister Gu will stand up for you.”

After saying so much, the two of them hadn’t even come down from the bridge yet, which shows how slowly they were walking.

And the young man was just held by Gu Ran’s arm, slowly walking forward.

“Big Head! Go help Zhugan wrap the corners of the furniture. Don’t just stand there.”

The tallest young man quickly said with a smile: “Okay, Senior Sister.”

“Little Junior Brother, if Elder Xu only brought you back this time, then you’re really the youngest Junior Brother in the entire Heavenly Thunder Peak, hahaha.”

“It’s always good to find Senior Sister Gu when something happens! I was like this when I first came, and I even felt like she cared about me more than my own mother.”

“Big Head, do you want to add more training~? Huh?”

“Hahahaha! You’re just asking for a scolding.”

“Three years! I finally have a little Junior Brother.”

Listening to the chattering sounds like casual family talk, the young man felt as if he were in another world.

The words of the crowd were like the warm sun of spring, the mountain stream.

Turning into streams of warmth flowing in his heart.

Suddenly.

Two lines of clear tears suddenly flowed from the eyes covered by the black cloth.

He could endure Zhao Yuanlin insulting him in front of everyone for selling his sister’s life for money.

He could admit in front of everyone that he was a blind man, a lowly beggar.

He could laugh at the thousands of people who ridiculed them as stray dogs barking wildly at the village entrance without knowing the truth.

But he couldn’t bear the slightest concern from these people he had never met before.

“So it turns out that this world isn’t just full of hardship…”

Pa ta!

Gu Ran’s body stiffened slightly, and then she directly wiped the young man’s face with her hand.

Wiping away the tears left by the young man, she shouted: “What are you looking at? Don’t you have anything to do?”

“Hurry up, there’s still the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before you have to go cultivate!”

Then, Gu Ran handed the brand new white robe to Li Guanqi’s hand and said softly: “Quickly go change and let us see if it fits.”

Li Guanqi smiled slightly, holding the clothes and said softly: “Thank you, Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters. Guanqi is very honored to become your Junior Brother.”

Although he saw that everyone had avoided it, he still bowed down.

After getting up, Li Guanqi showed a playful smile and said: “Senior Sister, if you pull Senior Brother’s hair again, you might pull it all out…”

While speaking, the young man turned his head as if he were looking directly at the woman.

Gu Ran was slightly stunned, then waved her hand in front of his eyes and said cautiously: “Aren’t you blind?”

Li Guanqi slowly untied the cloth strip, revealing his somewhat frightening pure white eyes.

“I am really blind, but… I opened my mind’s eye.”

“What? This kid is actually tricking me!”

“That’s right! I thought he really couldn’t see, and I even wrapped all the corners of this table!”

“Brothers! Beat him up!!”

Everyone swarmed up, hugging Li Guanqi and making a fuss for a while, and finally several Senior Brothers said.

“We’re leaving first, see you at the training field. I’m going to challenge Senior Sister today!”

“Tch~ you, I’ll fight you today.”

“By the way, do you want to take on a few tasks tomorrow? I’m really poor lately…”

After everyone left, Gu Ran looked at the young man in the white robe and couldn’t help but nod and said: “Not bad! As expected, being handsome goes better with white clothes!”

“Your sword box is big enough. Was it given by an elder? Is there a sword inside?”

Li Guanqi scratched his head; he didn’t even know what was inside.

Gu Ran smiled freely, turned around and said: “Junior Brother, take a good rest today. Tomorrow morning at the beginning of Chen hour will be the entry ceremony, don’t be late.”

After everyone had left, Li Guanqi looked at the house that had been greatly changed from before, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a gentle smile.

He slept particularly peacefully that night.
