Spirit Ruin, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Chapter 15 A New Family

Li Guanqi scratched his head, wondering whose child that was.

Really that little girl had a strong vitality, probably around five or six years old.

Without dwelling on it any further, Li Guanqi pushed open the courtyard door and stepped inside. Once he entered, he stood still in amazement. The courtyard was exquisite compared to his previous cottage in Fulong Village. A stream flowed down from Heavenly Thunder Peak, accompanied by small bridges, flowing water, peculiar rocks, and pine trees.

Walking forward, he saw a stone table. Upon entering the courtyard, a very spacious main hall, about eighteen yards in length, welcomed him. All the furniture in the room was brand new and made of mahogany. Passing through the main hall led to the bedrooms. There were three rooms in total, one for the main occupant and two secondary rooms.

This cottage was better than he had expected. In the backyard, there was even a small spiritual farm as the sect had promised him. The soil was dark, sprinkled with some green powder on topprobably the fertilizer used to maintain the soil.

Thud, thud, thud.

The sound of gentle knocking echoed. Li Guanqi quickly came out to open the door. Outside, a gentle voice spoke.

Junior brother, take your time~! No rush to open the door.

Li Guanqi was slightly surprised upon hearing this

Could they be disciples of Heavenly Thunder Peak?Werent they supposed to have the peak entrance ceremony tomorrow?

Creak!

As Li Guanqi opened the courtyard door, he found seven or eight people standing outside all slightly older than him. Each person wore a smile. Some were holding cotton, and others carried wooden basins and similar items.

Upon seeing the cloth covering the young mans eyes, a touch of compassion flashed in the eyes of the onlookers.

They were all disciples of the sect, donned in white robes with two purple lightning embroideries extending down their left and right shoulders. On the sect flag pinned to their chests was the purple character for thunder.

Surprisingly, the leader was a slightly tanned woman. She appeared to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with her hair tied up in a high ponytail and a delicate, goose-egg-shaped face. Her features were elegant, and her large eyes were exceptionally bright.

The woman gazed commandingly at those around her, then gestured towards the young mans eyes, signaling everyone to avoid speaking without care.

She then spoke gently, Junior brother, hello. Im Gu Ran, the Second Elders disciple.

Just call me senior sister. These are all fellow disciples of our Heavenly Thunder Peak, and they can be considered your senior martial brothers and sisters.

We came to see you today mainly because we were afraid you didnt have bedding cotton.

Li Guanqi quickly stepped aside and smiled, Junior gives greetings to senior sisters and senior brothers. Dont just stand at the door, come inside.

Gu Ran beckoned to the people behind her, and they entered the courtyard. The taller senior brothers immediately headed for the main building and laid out the bedding they had brought.

Watching them doing all this work for someone they hadnt even met before today, Li Guanqi felt a longing for his mother and sister. His past before entering the cultivation world had always been a sore spot, as he had shown when Zhao Yuanlin had provoked him on the Spirit Testing Platform.

His current personality had gradually developed during the eight years he spent with Su Xuan. Perhaps he was consciously imitating his grandfathers carefree personality. At this moment, Gu Ran came to the young mans side, took his arm, and they walked very slowly. Walk slowly, get familiar with the surroundings first. Theres a step under your foot; its a stone bridge, about ten steps ahead.

On the right is a stone table, and on the left is a pond. Be careful on your way back.

Ive already picked up your sect clothing from the inner affairs. Well help you try it for size later. If it doesnt fit, Ill have them change it.

In the future, treat Heavenly Thunder Peak as your own home. We are your family. If you have any trouble, call out to us. Your senior brothers and sisters will definitely support you!

If anyone dares to bully you, Big Sis Gu will stand up for you.

After saying so much, the two of them hadnt even walked off the bridge yetindicating just how slow their pace was.

Meanwhile, the young man was being led by Gu Ran, slowly moving forward.

Big Head! Go help Bamboo Pole cover the corners of the furniture. Youre always just standing there doing nothing.

The tall young man saluted and responded, Sure thing, senior sister.

Junior martial brother, if Elder Xu accepted you as a member of our Thunder Peak, then youll be the youngest junior disciple of Heavenly Thunder Peak, hahaha.

If you need anything, just ask senior sister Gu. Shes very helpful! When I first came here, I felt like she cared for me more than my own mother.

Bighead, are you interested in extra practice? Hm?

Hahaha! Youre just looking for trouble, kid.

Three years! I finally have a junior martial brother!

Listening to the casual chatter, it felt like a family gathering, bringing the young man to a different world. The words of everyone were like the warm spring sun and the mountain stream. They turned into warm currents flowing in his heart.

Suddenly.

Tears flowed from his eyes, covered by the black cloth.

He could endure Zhao Yuanlin insulting him and betraying his sisters life for money in front of everyone. He could admit in front of everyone that he was blind, a lowly beggar. He could laugh off the taunts of a thousand people calling them ignorant village dogs. But he couldnt bear even a little bit of concern from a stranger.

So, in this world, theres more than just suffering

The faint sound of Li Guanqis tears hitting the ground echoed across the courtyard. Gu Rans body stiffened slightly, and she wiped the tears from the young mans face with her hand. She exclaimed, What are you looking at? Dont you have anything to do?

Hurry, theres only a stick of incense time left before we go to practice!

Then Gu Ran handed a new white robe to Li Guanqi, saying softly, Hurry and change to see if it fits.

Li Guanqi smiled faintly and held the clothes, saying softly, Thank you, senior martial brothers and sisters. Guanqi is honored to become your junior brother.

Although he saw everyone avoiding him during this bow, he still went through with it.

After standing up, a playful smile appeared on Li Guanqis lips as he said, Senior sister, if you keep pulling senior martial brothers hair, you might end up pulling it off He turned his head as he spoke, seemingly looking at the girl directly.

Gu Ran was slightly stunned, then she waved her hand in front of him and said cautiously, But you cant see, can you?

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

I am truly blind, but I have opened my minds eye.

What? This kid is actually messing with us!

Thats right! I thought he really couldnt see, so I even tidied up the edges of the table!

Brothers! Lets get him!!

The crowd rushed over, playfully wrestling with Li Guanqi. Finally, a few senior martial brothers said, Well go ahead, see you at the sparring grounds. Im challenging senior sister Gu!

Hmph~ Just you? Fine, Ill teach you a lesson today.

By the way, should we go pick up a few missions tomorrow? Ive really been struggling with money lately

Once everyone had left, Gu Ran looked at the young man in white robes and couldnt help but nod, saying, Right! As I thought, a handsome face goes well with white clothes!

Is this sheath for your sword? Its quite large. Did an elder give it to you? Is there a sword inside?

Li Guanqi scratched his head. Even he didnt know what was inside.

Gu Ran turned towards the exit, saying, Junior martial brother, rest well today. The peak entrance ceremony is early tomorrow morning, dont be late.

After everyone had left, Li Guanqi looked at the transformed house, and a gentle smile played on his lips.

That night, he slept especially soundly.
