It's just a form of address.
March 7th continued waving his hand, saying:
"You mustn't do that, General Jingyuan. If you start talking like that, our seniority will be completely messed up."
After all, she still needs to become Yun Li's disciple. If that happens, Jing Yuan's seniority will plummet to the bottom of the earth.
Seeing how sensible March 7th was, Jing Yuan's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
See? Not everyone is as unreliable as Xingqiong.
"However..."
On March 7th, the conversation took a turn, and she scratched her cheek with her little hand, revealing a sly smile:
"If you really want to call me General, that's fine... We can each address each other separately~ I'll call you General, and you can call me Aunt, that way there won't be any confusion!"
Jing Yuan: "..."
The smile completely disappeared.jpg
"March, that's enough."
Teacher Danheng finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to defuse the situation.
He actually wanted to see Jing Yuan in an awkward situation, but Jing Yuan and Dan Feng were of the same generation. If he called San Yueqi "Shigu" (a term of respect for a senior female disciple), wouldn't he be a generation lower than San Yueqi for no reason?
The thought of March 7th suddenly adopting an elder's tone and speaking to him on the train in the future...
"Nephew, why don't you come and serve your aunt tea and water?"
Danheng gets a headache just thinking about that kind of future.
It must be stopped.
Ultimately, under the triple attack of the doubled seniority temptation, the fun of master-disciple relationship, and the dream of a young girl wandering the world with a sword, March 7th, in a daze, agreed to become the common disciple of Qiong and Yunli.
"Haha, then I'll go and prepare some gifts for the apprenticeship ceremony. You young people should exchange ideas more."
Huaiyan chuckled and smoothed things over, then saw the guests off together with Jingyuan.
Haha, you're too kind... uh?
March 7th scratched his head and grinned foolishly, then suddenly realized, "Wait, who's preparing the apprenticeship gift for whom?"
Little March looked completely bewildered.
Yanqing was equally bewildered.
He gazed at the sword that Yun Li had put away.
"???"
And me!
My sword is still in her hand!
After leaving the Shence Mansion, Xing looked at Yun Li, who had been frowning like a cat the whole time, and extended an invitation with a smile.
"Would you like to come with us?"
"forget it."
Qiong deliberately answered in a smug tone.
"Her little cat face is all scrunched up like a walnut, she's definitely not happy."
"You sword-stealing bastard... give me back my old bro right now, and that demon sword too!"
Yun Li gritted her teeth.
"What do you mean by 'robbery'? You clearly took it by your own ability."
Qiong looked proud.
"I took the Black Tower's artifacts and also swiped Ruan Mei's experimental subjects. Did they say a word? You think you can just ask me to return them with a few words?"
"How about this, if you willingly admit defeat, bow at a 90-degree angle, and sincerely say, 'I'm sorry, Brother Qiong, I was wrong, please return my sword,' then I'll consider returning your sword to you. As for my Xuanzhong Ruler, if you want it, you'll have to beat me!"
"I'll beat you if you want! Hmph, just you wait and see!"
Yun Li clenched her small fist.
"I'll show you how ruthless I am!"
"just you?"
Qiong showed disdain.
"Don't look down on people!"
Yun Li put her hands on her hips and said, "I am a genius swordsman who can communicate with swords."
"Communicate with a sword? Is that even possible?"
March 7th was a surprise.
"Most people can't do it, but I can."
Feeling the adoring gaze of March 7th, Yun Li proudly puffed out her chest, which was slightly larger than Silver Wolf's.
"I think your swordsmanship is just average, but you're quite good at bragging."
Qiong read it aloud in an extremely exaggerated aria, "So~ amazing~ oh~".
"You do not believe?"
Yun Li got a little anxious, "Give me your sword, and I'll prove it to you right here and now."
"Okay."
Qiong smiled faintly, which surprised Yun Li; she agreed so easily.
Then, she saw Qiong take out a shiny, slick kitchen knife from her spatial ring, which was covered in scallions and garlic.
"Here, this is my beloved sword, the Dragon-Slaying Saber. Come on, talk to it and tell me, does it want to peel potatoes or smash cucumbers right now?"
Danheng, Sanyueqi, and Xinghe followed and watched the girl.
"I……"
Yun Li was speechless, but she didn't say anything like how a kitchen knife could be considered a sword.
Grandpa once said that a sword has no fixed form.
Any weapon can be considered a 'sword'.
"Ordinary iron weapons won't do; only swords with spirit will suffice, like your sister's baseball bat."
"Wow, you have great taste!"
Xing hugged the baseball bat with a smug look on her face, whether it was because the bat was recognized or because of the word "sister".
"First of all, this girl is my sister."
Qiong grabbed Xing's head and pressed the silly-laughing Xing Core Essence behind her.
"Secondly, communicating with a spirit weapon—isn't that something you can do just by having a mouth? What are you showing off for?"
"what?"
At first, Yun Li was surprised by Xing Meimei's identity, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, Yun Li's attention was immediately diverted. In her opinion, Qiong was just being stubborn.
"Then try communicating with someone for me!"
"Okay."
Qiong smiled and took a yo-yo out of her pocket.
Yun Li was slightly taken aback upon seeing this; the 'sword' had a very unique shape...
Moreover, Yun Li's eyes couldn't help but shine, as if she had seen a string of Qiongshi birds, her eyes were full of excitement and surprise.
"Such powerful spirituality!"
"Leyura, come out and say hello to the little girl."
As Qiong Youran spoke, a scene that shocked Yun Li unfolded.
The futuristic sphere, in black and gold, radiates a soft glow, with crystal blue patterns flowing like a living thing.
As the light gathered, the ethereal figure of a stunning woman with ankle-length hair, an elegant black dress, and deep pink eyes appeared gracefully.
Hello, little sister.
Although she is a yandere and hates everyone her master dislikes, Leiora knows that her master is just teasing this little sister, so her attitude is still relatively friendly.
"...Ah...you, hello..."
Yun Li is shocked (cat head emoji)!
Then, that incredulous and disbelieving gaze shifted to Qiong.
"You...you actually nurtured a true spirit within the 'sword'?"
With the ability to communicate with the sword, Yun Li could naturally see that Leiyula was not a fused part of the Sun, but a pure and flawless innate spirit nurtured by the sword.
This is the ultimate dream pursued by countless swordsmiths throughout their lives.
A realm that even my grandfather had never reached!
Her father did it precisely because of this...
Yun Li's expression instantly became complicated.
"How about that? Pretty impressive, huh, Qiong-ge?"
Qiong immediately delivered a smooth, iron-mountain-leaning lean followed by Kun's shoulder-shaking.
"..."
Yun Li fell into a long silence, the shock in her heart unable to subside for a long time.
This guy who took my bro's stuff is really something...
At this moment, Yun Li's perception of Qiong changed.

Yun Li left with mixed feelings, her small figure carrying a rare hint of confusion and shock, a stark contrast to her usual disheveled appearance as a kitten.
"Oh no, I forgot to ask Yun Li to return my sword..."
Yanqing then realized what was happening and beat his chest in frustration.
"Don't worry, once I beat her, I'll get it all back for you, with interest."
Qiong patted Yanqing on the shoulder.
"Then thank you, Grandmaster."
That's what they say, but Yanqing felt that handing it over to Qiong was still a bit unreliable. He planned to go back and challenge Yunli to a duel to win the sword back.
"Speaking of which, I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel that the general was a bit reserved today..."
The group chatted as they walked.
Having been a native of Xianzhou in his previous life, and possessing a keen sense of Xianzhou politics, Dan Heng conducted a thorough analysis.
The generals from Zhu Ming and Yao Qing's two immortal ships came not only to observe the ceremony, but mainly to monitor Luo Fu and ensure that there were no traitors among Luo Fu's high-ranking officials.
"The general invited us to come and observe the military ceremony, which must have been partly due to this consideration."
"Oh, I'm so stupid, really."
March 7th's pink head drooped.
"I thought it would be a spontaneous and carefree trip, but it seems that no matter where we go, the Star Train will be embroiled in trouble."
"Hey, if you're leaning, you don't have to worry about your shadow being straight."
Xing waved his hand.
"You don't have to use Xianzhou slang if you don't know it."
