Chapter 687 Resolving Karma (2)
Song Shi warned the last sentence. If this guy still used his name to intimidate anyone in the future, those surviving members of the Black Wind Sect would not be able to offend him. They would probably use the Cao family as a target to vent their anger.
“Definitely.”
Cao Zongwan said solemnly, “Thank you for your reminder, Senior.”
Song Shi did not do anything else. He took a walk in the Cao Family. It was still early in the morning. Other than the servants and guards, there was basically no one from the Cao Family.
Unknowingly, he arrived at Cao Wenhong’s courtyard. It was already dawn. Chen Ziqi came out with a baby in her arms. When she saw Song Shi, she said in surprise, “Young Master Song.”
At this moment, Chen Ziqi already looked like a young woman. Her figure was a little plumper, and her face was rosy. She looked more s.e.xy and gentle. The baby in her arms was her son. He had not been born for long and was fat.
“The child’s talent is not bad.”
Song Shi looked at the baby and was slightly surprised.
This kid actually had a spirit root and was considered the only one in the Cao Family. He was indeed lucky.
“Thank you for your praise, Senior.” Chen Ziqi smiled like a flower.
Cao Zongwan’s eyes flickered. “Senior, it’s his good fortune to have met you. I wonder if you can give him some pointers so that he can take fewer detours in the future.”
The child had yet to grow up. He could not tell that this grandson had a spirit root, but it was precisely because of this that he wanted Song Shi to give him some pointers.
“If there’s a chance, send him to a large sect to cultivate. However, with his talent, he probably won’t be able to inherit your family business in the future.”
Song Shi commented.
It was much easier for people with spirit roots to cultivate than ordinary people. As long as they did not die prematurely, they were destined to reach the Connate realm.
On the other hand, this child’s spirit root was not bad. It would not be a problem for him to become a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the Grandmaster realm in the future. At this point, it was no longer something that the Cao family could support. He was destined not to inherit any family business.
“Senior, you mean that my grandson will definitely break through to the Grandmaster Realm in the future and become a powerhouse of a major sect. He will bring honor to his ancestors!”
Cao Zongwan was extremely excited when he heard this. No one in the Cao family had ever become a martial grandmaster. If this child could do it, this little family business was indeed nothing. The Cao family still had to rely on its glory.
“That’s just a big possibility. It’s up to him how he goes in the future.”
Song Shi shook his head. “This world is changing at any time. Nothing can be completely confirmed. It’s the same for a person’s fate.”
“With Senior around, this child will definitely be able to do it.”
Cao Zongwan affirmed.
Chen Ziqi’s expression was complicated. She was both happy that her child was talented and reluctant to part with him.
The more outstanding the child was, the further he would go in the future. She had just given birth and really could not bear to part with him.
However, after struggling, she still understood that the child could only become a powerhouse by walking out. It was impossible for him to hide under her wings forever.
At the thought of this, she bit her lip and said thick-skinnedly, “Young Master, can you take my child as your disciple?”
“I don’t take in disciples.”
Song Shi shook his head. “Our fate will end soon, and I won’t add any more karma to him.”
Cao Zongwan revealed a look of pity. If his grandson could be accepted by this person, not to mention those large sects, he would at least develop well in the early stages.
“There’s still more than a month. When the time is up, I’ll leave.”
Song Shi looked at Chen Ziqi. “Before resolving the karma, you can come over and ask me about cultivation.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Chen Ziqi was a little disappointed.
When Song Shi was around, she had a very high status in the Cao family. Even the head of the family had to be polite to her.
Once this person left, she would probably become an ordinary daughter-in-law. The difference might be huge.
Cao Zongwan watched enviously from the side. This opportunity to ask this powerhouse about cultivation was too valuable.
When there was a chance, he specially found Chen Ziqi. “You have to seize this opportunity. Once Senior leaves, there won’t be any more in the future.”
“Chance?”
Chen Ziqi said, “I’m afraid I’ll waste it. Even if some cultivation questions are answered, I won’t be able to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.”
“You can help me ask some questions.”
Cao Zongwan whispered.
“I’m sure he can tell.”
Chen Ziqi frowned.
“He treats you so well. Even if he can tell, he definitely won’t blame you.”
Cao Zongwan smiled and said, “Also, if possible, you can serve Senior more and make him feel more comfortable. Perhaps he won’t leave.”
Chen Ziqi’s expression changed when she heard this. She said coldly, “Father-in-law, don’t spout nonsense. I’m already a married woman. How can I seduce another man? Moreover, even if I do it, will a superhuman like Young Master think highly of me?”
“I’m just saying. Moreover, you’ve misunderstood. I only asked you to serve him so that he can live more comfortably.”
Cao Zongwan hurriedly corrected him.
“This is what I should do. Young Master has helped me so much. Even though I helped him when he was in danger, he has already done enough.”
Chen Ziqi was expressionless, “I’ve already recovered some Essence Qi. It’s not a problem to send some food and drinks to Young Master.”
With that, she left with a cold expression.
Cao Zongwan smiled awkwardly and did not say anything.
Song Shi had already moved into the straw hut. At night, he even dealt with a few Connate Grandmasters who had secretly come to investigate.
A few days later, Chen Ziqi came over to deliver fruits in plain clothes.
Song Shi glanced at Chen Ziqi’s expression. “Why? Are you in a bad mood?”
“After becoming a mother, I finally understand the hardships of a mother and the hardships of marrying far away. Now, other than you, I don’t have anyone else to talk to.”
Chen Ziqi knew Song Shi’s personality, so she did not stand on ceremony and directly talked to him.
“You have to rely on yourself. As long as you think of a way to become the first lady of the Cao family, it will be better.” Song Shi did not show much concern. Otherwise, it would be easy for this woman to fall in love with him.
“Yes, I think so too. However, if I want to have a lot of say in the Cao Family, I have to become a Connate Grandmaster. I feel that it’s so difficult, especially after giving birth to a child. My vitality has been greatly damaged, and the pain of becoming a Connate Grandmaster is even further away.”
Chen Ziqi replied bitterly.
“Since you’ve said so, how can I not help you?”
Song Shi was not unhappy. The fact that Chen Ziqi could get straight to the point and tactfully state her needs was already much better than that innocent girl back then.
“Young Master, what you’ve done has already exceeded what I did back then.” Chen Ziqi’s eyes were a little complicated.
“The grat.i.tude of a drop of water is repaid with a spring. What’s a bit of help?”
Song Shi did not mind. “Come, eat this, and it’ll help you recover your Essence Qi.”
He took out a pill that strengthened the foundation and nurtured the essence and handed it to Chen Ziqi. After the latter ate it, he waved his hand and released his power to envelop it.
“Start absorbing the medicinal effects. I’ll help you recover your Essence Qi.”
He was prepared to do an experiment. That was to change the attributes of his body on someone other than himself, which was to strengthen his physique.
“Yeah, of course.”
Chen Ziqi nodded obediently and closed her eyes. She felt warm and very comfortable.
At this moment, a warm current entered her body. Then, her entire body began to heat up. Countless powers surged out of thin air, shocking her.
As the heat dissipated, she felt that her entire body was filled with strength, as if she had been reborn. She opened her eyes and said with splendor, “You’re so powerful. In just a short while, I feel that I’ve become much stronger.”
“Your Essence Qi has already recovered. You can speed up your cultivation.”
Song Shi said, “Come here every day in the future and I’ll strengthen you. In addition, give me the cultivation technique you cultivate and help you optimize it.”
“Yeah, of course.”
Chen Ziqi took out her cultivation technique and handed it to Song Shi without hesitation.
The latter only looked at it once and said, “Next, make these adjustments to your cultivation path.”
He had personally guided Chen Ziqi in cultivating the optimized cultivation technique. However, after circulating it, her strength immediately became stronger and the changes were very obvious.
