He Qingge rubbed the white stone ball in his hand and squeezed it with all his strength. It was not damaged. He did not know what its specific function was.
When he returned to the living room, he was a little surprised to see Su Zimei and his mother chatting happily.
At this moment, a 14 or 15-year-old youth returned.
“Lil Yuan, this is your uncle,” He Da hurriedly said.
“Uncle?” He Yuan looked at He Qingge curiously.
In order to meet such a person, his father had specially asked someone to call him back from the academy.
“Qingge, this is my son, He Yuan,” He Da introduced.
He Yuan called him Uncle calmly and looked around. Then, he was instantly attracted by Su Zimei.
He could not take his eyes off her. He had never thought that there would be such a charming woman in this world.
She was even more charming than the talented girls he met in the academy.
Perhaps he felt that it was not good to stare at her like this, so he instantly lowered his head. However, his eyes could not help but glance over from time to time.
“This is the uncle I’ve been telling you about.” He Da’s voice became a little louder.
“That immortal uncle?” He Yuan’s calm face lit up.
“I’m not an immortal; I’m only a cultivator,” He Qingge said softly.
“Uncle, can you see if I can become a cultivator?” He Yuan looked at He Qingge excitedly.
Who would not want to travel the world with a sword and sweep away all injustice?
He Qingge said solemnly, “This road is not easy to walk. Once you step on this road, you won’t be able to control many things. You may lose your life at any time.”
“I’m not afraid!” He Yuan shouted.
He Qingge did not say anything more. He pressed a hand on He Yuan’s head and instantly injected the spiritual power in his body.
Soon, there was a reaction. He Qingge’s spiritual power could be absorbed, which meant that he did not have a crippled spiritual root.
As long as one’s spiritual root was not crippled, one could embark on the path of immortal cultivation. However, the level of talent determined the speed and efficiency of cultivation.
“Senior, can you take a look at the purity of his spiritual root?” He Qingge said.
Su Zimei stood rooted to the ground, her phoenix eyes flashing red as she said calmly, “The purity of his spiritual root is about the same as when you first entered the sect.”
He Qingge felt a little regretful after hearing this. After receiving the family heirloom, he had wondered if his family were the descendants of some mighty person.
However, his nephew did not seem to have any talent.
“Your talent is very poor. It’ll be very difficult for you to embark on the path of cultivation. If you don’t have enough opportunities, I’m afraid you won’t have much success in your life,” He Qingge said regretfully. “But if you live in the mortal world, you can live a carefree and happy life.” “Uncle, I want to cultivate, ” He Yuan said seriously.
He Qingge was calm. “I can lead you on the path of immortality. But I’ll tell you in advance that I won’t help you in the future. You have to rely on yourself.”
When He Yuan heard He Qingge’s promise, he was quite excited. “Don’t worry, Uncle. I’ll work hard.”
His dream was about to be fulfilled.
He Da was a little worried. Once his son stepped onto the path of immortality, would he be like his younger brother and disappear for decades?
His wife was both happy and worried.
She could not bear to let He Yuan leave her.
“Child, you’re engaged. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to leave now? Why don’t you leave after you get married and get a child?” He Yuan’s mother was very worried.
“No, Mother. I want to become an immortal. Let’s break off this engagement l” He Yuan’s Dao heart was firm.
He Qingge said, “Break off the engagement?”
As an online author in his previous life, he was all too familiar with this kind of arrangement.
“He’s engaged?” He Qingge asked.
“Yes, this was arranged for him by his father a long time ago. She’s a young lady from a rich family with the surname Yang,” He Yuan’s mother said.
He Qingge was a little silent. In this kind of society that was similar to the ancient dynasties, the thinking was relatively conservative. Breaking off an engagement was a rather embarrassing thing.
Once the operation was not done well, the two families would turn against each other and never interact with each other again.
Everyone was a social animal, and it was difficult for them to operate outside of society.
Moreover, it would be more difficult for a woman whose engagement had been annulled to marry someone else in this society.
If things went wrong, it might ruin her life.
For a moment, He Qingge felt a little troubled and irritated. He did nt want to care about these mundane things.
However, now that the problem had come, he had to solve it.
“I’ll accompany you to take a look! I hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully,” He Qingge said.
He Yuan was surprised. “It’s just breaking off an engagement. Do you have to come with us, Uncle?”
He Qingge did not say much.
Two days later, the group arrived at the Yang family’s residence.
The Yang family’s house did not look as big as the He family’s, but the overall layout was very good. There were mountains, rivers, and forests. They passed through a long corridor and entered the inner gate.
Clearly, they were a wealthy family.
The Yang family was quite enthusiastic when they saw them.
After all, they would be in-laws in the future.
Obviously, they had not realized the seriousness of the problem yet.
After entering the inner section, they saw a slim and elegant little girl.
The girl was not very old either, about 13 or 14 years old. She had a pretty good appearance and an extremely delicate baby face. However, although she was young, her figure was quite prominent.
She had a body that did not belong to her age. He Qingge could still see it with his eyes even though she was dressed in loose clothing.
She was an extraordinary girl.
He Qingge sighed inwardly.
He came here today mainly to make up for the lingering effects of the annulment of the engagement. He wanted to minimize these effects.
The moment He Qingge sized up the woman, he was stunned.
It was not because the woman’s appearance was too outstanding, but because there was a hollowed -out golden ball hanging on her chest.
The main thing was that there was a round stone in the hollowed out golden ball. It was white and looked exactly like the family heirloom that He Qingge had received before.
Was this not a family heirloom?
Why did he see it on another person so soon after hearing the news?
He Qingge fell into deep thought.
His original thoughts and plans had quietly changed.
The young girl saw He Qingge’s unwavering gaze and immediately took a step back shyly, hiding behind her mother.
‘How embarrassing. Why are you staring at me?’
However, this man was really good-looking.
He Qingge quickly reacted and smiled apologetically. Then, he told her the purpose of his visit.
“So, you’re here to break off the engagement?” Mr. Yang, who was originally warm and hospitable, was instantly furious. His beard blew up with the wind as he slammed the table.
“After all, there’s a difference between immortals and mortals! I will compensate you for this.”
Mr. Yang was very angry, but he did not dare to flare up. The person sitting in front of him was a genuine immortal of the Tian Xuan Sect.
He could only sigh helplessly. “Forget it, you can leave. Our Yang family can’t afford to offend you.”
He Qingge smiled. “There’s no rush. I can also help your daughter check her aptitude to see if she has the qualifications to become an immortal. If it’s possible, I can also guide her to embark on the immortal path..
