Ch212 - Formal Apprenticeship

Edited by Zaki

In Pill Peak Palace,

After returning, the Third Elder took Liu Mufeng and his wife directly back to the Palace.

“I heard that Ma Ming died soon after entering the secret realm. Do you really not know about this matter, Sixth Junior Brother?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Shen Xin asked curiously.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “What must have happened, I think Master and Senior Sister know very well, don’t they?”

Hearing this, the Third Elder sighed softly. “Although you did a clean job, Elder Ma already guessed that it was you, and he won’t let you go.” Speaking of this, the Third Elder was very worried.

“Yes, the disciple will be careful. We found some spiritual plants and spiritual fruits in the secret realm. Therefore,XiaoXu will go into seclusion in a few days. At that time, we will all stay on the Pill Peak. I think, as long as we don’t leave Pill Peak, the problem shouldn’t be too big, no matter how mad the Elder Ma is, it is impossible for him to come to Pill Peak and kill me.” Regarding this matter, Liu Mufeng already had his own plans.

“XiaoXu is going into seclusion to advance to the Spiritual Emperor realm?” Looking at Liu Mu Feng, the Third Elder inquired.

“Yes,XiaoXu’s Master promised to give him a heavenly treasure to help with his advancement. So, I plan to let him go into seclusion in the training room in the courtyard where I live.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng said.

“Oh? When did the First Elder become so generous and want to giveXiaoXu a chance?” The Third Elder did not expect this.

“No, it’s not the First Elder. It’s my new Master. He said that he will go to the First Elder to fight and defeat the First Elder to become my master.” Jiang Xu was happy when he said this. He didn’t know if the old man went to find the First Elder.

“New Master? You met a new Master in the secret realm? Could it be my foster Father?” Looking at Jiang Xu, Shen Xin asked suspiciously. Because she knew that other than her foster Father, other Elders had no ability to enter the small secret realm of the sect, and even the Eighteen Elders couldn’t do it.

“En, it’s him. With his wretched face, he doesn’t look like a Sect Master at all.” Jiang Xu sighed when he said this.

Hearing this, Shen Xin smiled. “XiaoXu has seen the true face of my adoptive Father.”

“In this sect, apart from the three supreme Elders, me, Xin’erand Yunfei, no one has seen Xuanyuan’s true face, and he actually met you with his true face. This shows that he thinks highly of you as a disciple” Looking at Jiang Xu, the Third Elder said.

“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Nodding, Jiang Xu expressed his understanding.

“Foster Father often said that he wanted to accept two disciples, one to help him manage the sect, and the other one should have first-class talent to inherit his mantle. It seems that the foster Father finally got his wish. I will callXiaoXu as Junior Brother in the future.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Shen Xin said with a smile.

“Yeah, this kid Yunfei is calm, capable, and a little smooth. But he’s humble and polite, and easy to get along with. Besides, withXiaoXu’s temperament, even if he goes to Xuanyuan’s place, he won’t suffer any grievances.” With Jiang Xu’s fiery temper, how could he be wronged?

“Sect Master…”

“Foster Father…” Seeing the person coming, Liu Mufeng and the three hurriedly saluted.

“You’re here.” Seeing his old friend, the Third Elder said lightly.

“En, I’m here. I’m here to receive my apprentice.” After speaking, Xuanyuan Chen sat on the chair happily. He took out a recording stone and showed everyone the recorded scene of him fighting the First Elder.

Seeing the First Elder was defeated by Xuanyuan Chen in a few moves, Jiang Xu nodded and then asked, “This is not a fake fight, is it?”

“Nonsense, how could it be a fake fight? I injured him. If you don’t believe me, go to Sword Peak and see.” Looking at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen said unhappily.

“Oh, okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu said he believed the other party’s words.

“The First Elder was defeated by me, and I also told him that I would accept you as an apprentice. He agreed. You can now pay homage to your Master.”Looking at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen motioned for the other party to worship his Master.

“Then, what about the gift you promised to give me? Have you prepared it?” Looking at Xuanyuan Chen, Jiang Xu asked again.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes. “Aiya, other people who worship their Masters bring gifts to show filial piety to their Masters but you on the other hand are actually asking me for a present even before apprenticeship.” Even though he said so, Xuanyuan Chen still took out a brocade box and placed it on the table.

Seeing that the brocade box was slowly opened and three golden leaves appeared inside, Jiang Xu blinked and turned his head to look at his man. “Mufeng, what is this?”

“They are leaves from the Tree of Golden Origin, which can assist Golden Spirit Root cultivators to improve their strength. It’s good stuff.”

“Oh.” Jiang Xu nodded when he heard his lover’s words.

“You know a lot, kid?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows. He thought no one would recognize his gift? Unexpectedly, Liu Mufeng actually knew what it was.

“Of course, my family’s Mufeng is well-read and talented. There is nothing in the world that he doesn’t know. Besides, my family’s Mufeng knows five different languages!” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu looked proud.

“Okay, I know that the Spirit Insects on Liu Mufeng’s body are all double lidded, so hurry up and worship me as your Master now.” Looking at his apprentice, Xuanyuan Chen said ungraciously.

“Oh.” Nodding, Jiang Xu walked over slowly and knelt in front of Xuanyuan Chen. “Disciple Jiang Xu, pays respect to my Master. The Master is worshipped three times by this disciple.” Lowering his head, Jiang Xu hurriedly bowed.

“En, get up.” Looking at the apprentice who gave him a big salute, Xuanyuan Chen stroked his white beard with satisfaction.

“Thank you, Master.” Standing up, Jiang Xu looked at his Master. “Don’t stroke your beard anywhere, the paste is not strong, you might accidentally remove the beard.”

“Stinky boy, you are actually making fun of me!” After glaring at Jiang Xu, Xuanyuan Chen said angrily.

Seeing the interaction between the Master and apprentice, Shen Xin couldn’t help laughing out loud. “Foster Father, since you have accepted Junior Brother, you won’t be bored in the future.”

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen glanced at his daughter. “You still have the nerve to say, all the time you only roam around with your Master, and you don’t go to see this Father for ten days and a half month at a time.”

“Foster Father, don’t be angry.” Looking at her adoptive Father, Shen Xin hurriedly smiled.

“Don’t you have an apprentice with you now?” Looking at his old friend, the Third Elder said.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen looked at the Third Elder. “Yuantu, I’ve decided. I want to move in and live with you andXiaoXu. What do you think?”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuantu’s face became confused. “Your Palace is three times bigger than mine, why do you want to live with me? Besides, after you leave, won’t Yunfei be alone in the Palace? Wouldn’t it be lonely for him?”

“Don’t mention that kid to me, he’s not lonely. During the day, he has to deal with the affairs of the clan and has no time to care about me, and at night, he and his wife are making out with each other and do not care about me, I am almost forgotten by him. Let them live over there, I’ll move in withXiaoXu and Xin’er!” Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Chen looked at Shen Xin.

“Foster Father, I, I live at the foot of the mountain, I don’t live here.” Looking at her adoptive Father, Shen Xin explained with a blushing face.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Chen snorted coldly and turned to look at the Third Elder. “Jiang Yuantu, when are you going to marry my Daughter? If you don’t marry her, I will marry her off to the Imperial Clan’s Sect Master’s Eldest Son.”

“Father!” Hearing this, Shen Xin cried out anxiously.

“Don’t talk, you don’t have the right to talk, I’ll make the decision.” Looking at Shen Xin, Xuanyuan Chen said coldly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuantu’s face was very ugly. “If you dare to marry Xin’erto someone else, I will break off my relations with you.”

“Hmph, don’t scare me, I’ll ask you today, will you both get married or not? If you don’t marry her, I’ll marry her off to someone else and let’s see what you can do to me?” Staring at Jiang Yuantu, Xuanyuan Chen said with an unconvinced face.

Jiang Yuantu lowered his head silently. “I, if I marry Xin’er,will it affect Xin‘er‘s reputation? Xin’eris years younger, I…”

“Yeah, my daughter is like a flower and a jade, but her eyes are not good. She actually took a fancy to you. You are a man with a beastly heart, an old cow gnawing at the tender grass. Now you pretend to be noble, you don’t want her anymore, right?” Looking at Jiang Yuantu, Xuanyuan Chen said coldly.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuantu’s face became even more ugly. Taking a peek at the woman he loved, he saw that Xin’erhad been kneeling pitifully beside Xuanyuan Chen. “I will go to the Officiating Elder tomorrow, and choose a day for me and Xin’erto marry.”

“Okay, when you are married, I will move over to live with you.” Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Chen smiled smugly.

Jiang Yuantu snorted coldly. “You are so troublesome.”

“Che, what’s wrong with me staying at my daughter’s house? It’s only natural.”

Looking at Xuanyuan Chen’s thick face, Jiang Yuantu gritted his teeth and thought to himself,‘I didn’t make friends carefully. He must have had some screw loose to have actually made friends with this bastard.’

“Congratulations to the Master, congratulations to the Senior Sister.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu stepped forward to congratulate the concerned parties.

“En.” Nodding, the Third Elder’s face was a little uncomfortable.

“Foster Father, forget it. I don’t want to get married. Marriage is not good for Master’s reputation.” Looking at her foster Father, Shen Xin pleaded in a low voice.

“Don’t want to get married? How old are you? You’re eight hundred years old and still haven’t got married. Do you want to be a spinster? If you don’t want to marry him, then you can marry in the Imperial Clan. You’ve met Huangfu Yu. He is similar to you in age, is a sword cultivator, and has a cultivation level of the Spiritual Profound Realm, so you two are a good match.” Looking at his daughter, Xuanyuan Chen said so.

Hearing this, Shen Xin hurriedly shook his head. “No, I won’t marry Huangfu Yu, I don’t like him, foster Father, I, I…”

“Okay, I know what you’re thinking, hurry up and get married to Yuantu. Once you are married, this Father’s heartfelt wish will be fulfilled. And Yunfei, he is waiting for your marriage as well. Once you are married, I will let him pick a date for his marriage too. Otherwise, that kid sneaks around at night every day and brings people back, still thinking that I don’t know. Does he take me for a foolah?”

“En, this Daughter understands. Thank you foster Father.” Shen Xin bowed her head. She knew that when her Father was forcing her Master so much, it was because he also felt sorry for herself and was doing this for her own good.
