Chapter 92: Becoming Ma Xiaoling’s Disciple

In the land of Huaxia, Exorcists had not been few since ancient times, and the most famous were two families.

The Mao Family in the south, and the Ma Family in the north!

In the Mao Family, men had been the heads of the household for generations.

As for the Ma Family, women had held the power for generations!

Although He Yingqiu was not a member of the Mao Family’s main line, he was the most famous among their disciples from other surnames!

Years ago, Ma Xiaoling’s aunt, Ma Dana, was one of the most famous figures in all of Huaxia. However, she woke up to the truth after meeting Kuang Tianyou and having her legs broken by him.

She realized that there were good ghosts, and there were Zombies that did not suck human blood. Not only did she feel no resentment toward Kuang Tianyou, but the two even became good friends!

From that time on, he stopped practicing exorcism and lived in seclusion in Hong City. On the surface, he opened a toy store, but in reality, it was a supplier for the spiritual realm!

…

Whether it was Wang Zhenzhen, Kuang Tianyou, or Wei Ziqing, the three of them could only wait obediently outside. Although they knew He Yingqiu could dispel the Exorcism Power inside Ma Xiaoling’s body, their hearts were still uneasy.

Wei Ziqing, in particular, had a complex expression. Tomorrow was Sanpo Day, and since Ma Xiaoling was seriously injured, she was absolutely unable to move. What about He Yingqiu? Given his personality, since he said he no longer practiced exorcism, there was a high chance he would not take action!

If so, tomorrow night, the Jiajia Building would be a Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, with wails echoing everywhere!

“Sigh…” Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing sighed softly. Although he was not a saint, he simply could not remain indifferent knowing that countless people would die.

Especially since he had met some nice neighbors in the Jiajia Building over the past two months, he could not just act as if it had nothing to do with him!

“Alright, everyone come in, Xiaoling is awake!” Just as Wei Ziqing was thinking about how to face the Sanpo Day tomorrow night, He Yingqiu’s somewhat weak voice sounded from inside.

Hearing this, Wang Zhenzhen and Kuang Tianyou could no longer hold back and rushed inside, and Wei Ziqing quickly followed.

Inside the room, Ma Xiaoling lay on the bed with a pale face. Although she had woken up, she looked very weak.

Beside her sat a thin old man who looked to be around seventy years old. His face was also somewhat pale. This old man was the descendant of the Mao Family, He Yingqiu!

As soon as Wang Zhenzhen entered the room, she could not help but rush to Ma Xiaoling’s side. Holding Ma Xiaoling’s hand on the bed, her eyes were red as she asked, “Xiaoling, are you okay?”

Although Kuang Tianyou said nothing and his eyes were hidden behind sunglasses, Wei Ziqing could tell from his slightly moving lips that he also cared deeply for Ma Xiaoling.

It seemed that the relationship between the two had unknowingly become much closer!

“Silly Zhenzhen, I’m fine, just a bit tired!” Ma Xiaoling smiled and shook her head, but she looked pitiful.

After comforting Wang Zhenzhen, Ma Xiaoling turned directly to He Yingqiu and asked, “Uncle Qiu, can my body really not use Exorcism Power for the next two days?”

“What? Do you think Uncle Qiu would lie to you? Do you not know your own injury? The Sea of Spirit is damaged; this is a massive trauma. I don’t know how you did it, but a mere Living Dead actually caused your Exorcism Power to recoil. Truly…”

Hearing this, a look of shame flashed across Wei Ziqing’s face. Although Uncle Qiu did not name him explicitly, Wei Ziqing knew he was talking about how he failed to stop Tailor Ping!

However, this was ultimately his mistake, so Wei Ziqing could only stand there in silence.

“But Uncle Qiu, tomorrow is Sanpo Day, and now a Living Dead has appeared. Behind this Living Dead, there must be a fourth-generation Byakugan Zombie. Hong City will fall into chaos!”

Ma Xiaoling did not care about her own injuries. She was more worried about what would happen tomorrow. After all, Sanpo Day was a date that only appeared once every sixty years.

It was a time when resentment, grievances, and malevolent energy—all kinds of Dark Force—would erupt together. All the filthy things would certainly take this opportunity to run wild.

Although Ma Xiaoling was not the only Exorcist in Hong City, she had the highest cultivation. Without her presence, the entire Hong City would likely fall completely!

“How about, Uncle Qiu…” Ma Xiaoling looked at Uncle Qiu with a pleading expression. Seeing this, the corners of Wei Ziqing’s mouth twitched.

Ma Xiaoling could actually act spoiled?

“Don’t… don’t… Uncle Qiu is old, and I have already retired. You want me to go exorcising? That is absolutely impossible!” Seeing Ma Xiaoling’s expression, Uncle Qiu was startled and jumped up from his chair, refusing firmly!

“But Uncle Qiu, if you don’t act, Hong City is really finished. Do you really want to watch the entire city be overrun by vengeful ghosts?” Ma Xiaoling was still unwilling and tried to find a way to make Uncle Qiu act.

But no matter how Ma Xiaoling begged, Uncle Qiu remained determined to stay indifferent, which left her feeling helpless.

“Enough, enough, Xiaoling. It doesn’t necessarily have to be me who acts. Actually, even if I don’t act, there is a way to deal with this Sanpo Day!” Seeing Ma Xiaoling’s depressed face, Uncle Qiu finally spoke again.

“A way?” Hearing this, not only did Ma Xiaoling’s eyes light up, but Wei Ziqing and Kuang Tianyou also looked at Uncle Qiu intently, wanting to know what the method was!

“Yes, wouldn’t it work if you took a disciple?”

“Take a disciple!” Hearing this, Ma Xiaoling’s eyes lit up, but she then became troubled. “I want to, but not only is it hard to find a suitable person, but can a disciple taken in just one day and night actually handle it? Can his talent really bear such a heavy responsibility?”

“Perhaps usually no, but today yes, because I have found a seed. Although he is a bit old, he is good in every aspect!” Facing Ma Xiaoling’s doubt, Uncle Qiu smiled.

Hearing Uncle Qiu’s words, Wei Ziqing lowered his head and frowned. In the original story, Jin Zhengzhong became Ma Xiaoling’s disciple. Was Uncle Qiu talking about him?

Thinking of this, Wei Ziqing looked up. As he did, he was stunned to find that everyone’s gaze was fixed on him, as if they were looking at some piece of merchandise.

“Why… why are you all looking at me like that?”

“Uncle Qiu, is he really okay? He’s probably around thirty, right? This…” Ma Xiaoling looked deeply at Wei Ziqing and then looked at He Yingqiu.

“My eye for people is quite good. Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, Wei Ziqing, you are likely from an Ancient Martial Arts family, right? Although it’s different from the power of our Exorcist clan, your power probably isn’t bad either,” Uncle Qiu said. The first part was addressed to Ma Xiaoling, while the second part was a question for Wei Ziqing.

Hearing Uncle Qiu’s words, Ma Xiaoling, Kuang Tianyou, and Wang Zhenzhen were all stunned. What did they just hear? Wei Ziqing, who looked gentle and refined like a great scholar, was actually from an Ancient Martial Arts family? This… how was that possible!

However, while Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou had their doubts, they somewhat believed Uncle Qiu’s words. Because Uncle Qiu had also been a member of an Ancient Martial Arts family, his perception of True Energy and Inner Energy from such families would definitely not be wrong!
