Indestructible Primordial Spirit

  When Xi Tu vividly portrayed Lu Qi as one of the rare prodigies in the world, sure enough, all seven members of the host family couldn't help but reveal their astonished expressions.

  "A twelve-year-old boy, killed An Ze?!" Wang Yingfu's face was full of disbelief: "Did An Ze even use his beheading knife? How is this possible, An Ze may be useless but he's still a martial artist who has practiced the Seven Heavy Strikes, and can't even beat a little kid?! Xi Tu, you can't be joking with me about Master and Miss!"

  Xī tú hastily replied: "How dare I, a lowly person... If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone from the northwest courtyard, this matter isn't something that I alone could fabricate. Ah, right! Hǔ tóu, quickly come and pay respects to Guǎn shì and Liù xiǎo yé!"

  As Wang Bo and Wang Yingfu looked over, Lu Qi walked by with his head hung low.

  "Wow... you're Tiger Head?" A voice of surprise rang out, and Lu Qi raised his head in some confusion, only to see that the young lady was looking at him with curious eyes: "You're really only twelve years old? No way! How can you look even older than me? I'm fourteen this year."

  While in Miss Ping's hands, the little dog also stared at him with big eyes curiously. Lu Qi nodded: "To answer Miss Ping, I am indeed twelve years old, but after this winter, I will be thirteen..."

  Miss Bai stuck out her small tongue: "You're so young and yet you've grown up to be so sturdy, when you grow up, you'll definitely be as majestic as your uncle."

  "Di'er's cousin, how can you compare this lowly Zinu with my father!" Wang Bo hummed softly beside him: "He's just a wild child, who knows how many years he'll live?"

  The one called "Dier" Miss Biao listened to some dissatisfaction: "Brother Biao, how can you talk like this? Slaves are also human beings, although they have a low birth, but it is also possible to produce talented people. My uncle Qingyao was born as a serf, and his current status is not lower than your father's, my uncle is inferior?"

  Lu Qi looked at the lovely girl with two small dimples when she smiled, somewhat taken aback. There probably aren't many girls in this world who have such a healthy outlook on life.

  "You think you're as exceptional as Qing Xiao Bo, a rare talent that's hard to find in ten thousand miles? Do you think someone like him can be compared to the likes of you?" Wang Bo's face was stubborn, his eyes full of displeasure.

  It seems that Dier also has a strong personality deep down and insists on her own views: "Who can say what will happen in the future? Maybe he..."

  "Hmmph..." Wang Yingfu noticed Wang Bo's displeasure and, being a cunning old man, naturally knew how to smoothly shift everyone's attention, not letting the two little ancestors continue arguing: "Xitu, is this the Tiger Head you mentioned? He looks like good material, but it's surprising that he was able to kill An Ze. You didn't secretly teach him any special techniques behind our backs, did you?"

  Xī tú shēn zǐ yī zhàn, lián máng yáo tóu dào: "Guǎn shì míng jiàn, xiǎo rén bù gǎn, hé kuàng xiǎo rén zì jǐ de lì jué dōu zhī xué dào bàn tǒng shuǐ, ná shén me qù jiāo hǔ tóu?"

  Wang Yingfu glanced at a black-clad man beside him, who shook his head and whispered a few words in Wang's ear. Wang also dryly smiled for a moment: "Not having learned the secret technique, yet able to kill An Ze of the Seventh Rank of Bravery, although it should be somewhat tricky, it's not bad either. But it's just a bit...small..."

  Xitu is not a fool either, he can hear the implication in Wang Yingfu's words and quickly responds: "It's not small either, after winter it will be thirteen years old, other boys at fourteen years old also have to participate in hunting, and this time winter hunting is also led by him, the harvest is not worse than before."

  "Oh, is that so?" Wang Yingfu's eyes flashed with surprise again, and he nodded: "I think it's almost the same, besides, he came to challenge, which also conforms to the rules..."

  Saying so, Wang Yingfu looked at Lu Qi: "Tiger head, right?"

  "Yes, sir." Lu Qi responded respectfully.

  "The responsibility of the head of this household is not light, do you have a plan in mind?" Wang Yingfu asked, this was not concern, but just a routine task. After all, if Zelan, the slave of Guo's family, couldn't achieve some results, his own days wouldn't be easy either.

  Lu Qi nodded: "Understood, to ensure that the village households complete the tasks assigned by the main household on time and in full, they can only increase production and yield, getting better year after year, absolutely cannot reduce production."

  "Not bad, from today on, you are the head of this northwest household." Wang Yingfu said: "This head not only has the power to wear good clothes and enjoy delicious food, but also can be granted a great name, learn powerful skills, such an opportunity is not available to everyone."

  Lu Qi replied calmly: "I understand, this is all bestowed by the master's house. I will certainly follow the rules of the master's house and do my part well to serve the master's house."

  "Great!" Seeing Lu Qi's somewhat condescending attitude, Wang Yingfu secretly thought that this young master might really have a future: "Before passing on the power technique to you, I must give you a name. Let me think..."

  At this time, Lu Qi suddenly spoke up: "Guanshi, I have an impolite request!"

  "An unreasonable request? That's interesting, tell me!" Wang Yingfu had never heard such a phrase before, and his heart skipped a beat.

  "To have a great name of one's own is something that ordinary people dream of, and today I can fulfill my lifelong wish, I am overjoyed. I, a humble person, dare to ask if it would be possible for me to give myself a name, I wonder if the authorities will approve?"

  As soon as Lu Qi said this, everyone was shocked. Wang Bo even burst out laughing: "It's really a blessing to have a name given by Ying Fu, the manager of the household department. You're not dissatisfied with it, are you? Is there any slave in the world who dares to give himself a name?"

  Lu Qi's expression didn't change as he replied, "In response to Sixth Young Master's words, this humble one naturally doesn't dare refuse the gift of a name from the steward. This humble one just wanted to offer a suggestion, and also spare the steward the trouble. I wonder if the steward can agree?"

  Wang Yingfu's expression changed slightly, and from a feeling perspective, he was willing to give Lu Qi this opportunity. After all, it wasn't a big deal. Moreover, Lu Qi was very good at speaking and getting along with people. He gave himself a name that was a great honor, but said he didn't want him to worry, which sounded comfortable.

  But Wang Bo intervened, and Wang Yingfu had to weigh it carefully. After all, he had to agree, and who knows if the Sixth Master would also hold a grudge against him? Although as a local official, he wasn't afraid of a young master without much power, but for a concubine, it didn't seem worth it.

  Just as Wang Yingfu hesitated slightly, Dier spoke up again: "I find this little slave's words quite interesting, and I'd like to see what kind of great name he has given himself. Uncle Yingfu, this is not a big deal, just be a good person and agree."

  The flute's loud voice, Uncle Wang, undoubtedly made a decision, and his small eyes lit up. He immediately got off the donkey: "Since Miss has spoken out, I'll give you this opportunity, come on and tell me!"

  Although Wang Bo was somewhat unhappy, at this time he had no choice but to give up.

  Lu Ji's heart was filled with joy, and he felt even more grateful to Miss Biao. His eyes did not leave hers as he said, "Thank you, sir. I would like my name to be... Lu Qi!"

  Yes, not abandoned. The reason it's not "abandoned" is that at that moment, Lu Qi suddenly appeared, and he was no longer the person who had been abandoned in his previous life. Having died, he could still be reborn with memories, which meant that even heaven hadn't abandoned him. Moreover, in this world, there were parents who loved him so much, and his parents hadn't abandoned him either. He had no reason to be called "abandoned" anymore.

  Moreover, Lu Qi naturally thought of what the young lady had just said. Her uncle was able to rise from a serf to a position higher than that of the master's family, so how could he, Lu Qi, be looked down upon by Wang Bo and his ilk? It was also a warning to himself, never to abandon the dignity of being human, and never to give up on the determination in his heart.

  "Don't give up... Never give up!" Dier's eyes lit up: "This name is pretty good..."

  As they spoke, Dier lightly tugged on Lu Qi's clothes. When Lu Qi could only look at her, she smiled sweetly and revealed two adorable dimples: "Can't tell, but you, this little Ze slave, still have some ambitions in your heart, huh? However, I support you, who knows, maybe one day you'll become someone as awesome as my Qing Xiao uncle!"

  "Woof woof..." The little blue dog in Di'er's arms also seemed to be showing its support, letting out two soft barks towards Lu Qi.

  "Hehe......" Di'er laughed happily: "Well, well, well! You've learned to talk? I thought you were a little mute......"

  It seems that this little blue dog is the one that Di'er has just received. Lu Qi's mouth slightly curled up: "Thank you, Miss Xie, for your auspicious words, and thank you for your cute little dog..."

  Lu Qi slightly expressed his gratitude and hastily turned back to look at Wang Yingfu: "Manager, what do you think?"

  Wang Yingfu slightly nodded his head: "Since Miss Biao thinks it's good, then... I, as the manager of Wangjia Guanlin, Wang Yingfu, will follow the laws of Yunzhe Country, the family rules of Longyuan Prefecture Wang Family, and grant the northwest household of Guanlin the name 'Buqi'."

  Wang Yingfu said so much, completely following the strict rules of Yunze country, and absolutely cannot miss a single link. Otherwise, it would be considered a crime of contempt for national law and family rules, which is punishable by gouging out one's eyes.

  As Lu Kang and Hui Niang were overjoyed to the point of tears, Lu Qi... Ah, from now on should be called Lu Buqi... Lu Buqi once again thanked Wang Yingfu and also thanked Di'er. At the same time, Lu Qi also very smoothly thanked Sixth Master Wang Bo for his testimony, but unexpectedly, Wang Bo became even more annoyed, thinking that Lu Qi was intentionally angering him.
