Regarding the fact that Qian Chao had a master, Li Jian and Yan Xuan actually had some vague speculations in their hearts. After all, Qian Chao would go to Ruixuan Town to find Mr. Zhuang, and he would stay there for the entire day. The time was not stated because it was not exact.
Of course, Lu Pingchuan didn't consider this.
Just when Tang Ping and others gathered at Qian Chao's residence, Qian Chao explained the matter to everyone, and also took out the jade pendant given by Mr. Zhuang to show everyone. Qian Chao's idea was: Even if He and Mr. Zhuang cannot be called masters and disciples, but they are always masters and disciples. It is a big deal for me. Since it is a big deal, those companions should know about it.
After Qian Chao finished speaking, Tang Ping spoke immediately, and then she told the three companions in front of her the whole story. Even if she had difficulties, even if she was doing it for Qian Chao, after all, in this matter The matter had been kept secret from the four companions. Finally, Tang Ping said:
"The reason why I couldn't tell you about this before is because my sixth grandfather told me to swear not to tell anyone about it first. Secondly, I was very worried after I found out about it. After all, this matter is It was arranged by Mo Zu from Yuhu Mountain. An old friend of Mo Zu must also be a Yuan Ying-level ancestor. Such an opportunity is extremely rare for Qian Xiaozi, but this Mr. Zhuang still It's very strange. Firstly, he has a high vision. Secondly, he doesn't want what others bring to him. He has to find it himself. That's why Mo Zu arranged it like this. If my sixth grandfather doesn't let me swear that oath, what if we It would not be good if they all knew it. Just imagine that Mr. Qian went to the Yiming Hall with the intention of becoming a disciple. He would definitely be seen through by a person like Mr. Zhuang at a glance, and he would probably be turned away at that time. This would be a waste of time. Boy Qian. Now, even if he doesn’t have the status of master and apprentice, Boy Qian is still the disciple of Mr. Zhuang. I think he can definitely learn the real skills from there, and I don’t have to keep this matter in my heart anymore. But we can only know this matter ourselves, after all, according to the rules of the sect, Wuling disciples are not allowed to be outsiders, so we still can’t tell the outside world about Mr. Qian and Mr. Zhuang.”
Li Jian understood what he heard. He first congratulated Qian Chao and then said to Tang Ping:
"That's right, otherwise it will really delay the master-disciple relationship between Brother Qian and Mr. Zhuang!"
Yanxuan was also happy for Qian Chao. Originally, she had something to tell everyone today, that is, she was going to officially become her disciple to Fairy Zhong Yao. The apprenticeship ceremony would be held in ten days. Unexpectedly, Qian Chao heard about it first. News, Yanxuan said:
"Congratulations to Brother Qian. I thought I would be the third one among the five of us to become a disciple. Unexpectedly, Brother Qian is ahead of the curve and is studying under a Yuan Ying Patriarch. What a great thing! Ah Ping, Have you been holding it back these days?"
Just when Tang Ping smiled and nodded, Lu Pingchuan said in a somewhat confused tone:
"Oh, it turns out that the teahouse owner is Brother Qian's master. I was also wondering why Brother Qian loved playing chess as soon as he arrived in Ruixuan Town. Hehe, okay, I said that ordinary people can't be Brother Qian's master. Sure enough, haha !”
Qian Chao just listened to Yanxuan's words and asked:
"Sister Yan, what you just said...is that you want to become a disciple?"
Only then did a few people understand.
Yanxuan said happily:
"That's right, after coming back this time, Senior Zhong came to see me and wanted to officially accept me as his disciple. The apprenticeship ceremony will be this month!"
When Tang Ping heard this, she said in surprise:
"Hey, that's great, Sister Yan. There's nothing wrong with you. The apprenticeship ceremony is rather complicated, and there are many and complicated things. I'll go and help you later."
As a result, among the five people, only Li Jian's apprenticeship has not yet been established.
Tang Ping thought of this and asked:
"Brother Li, your senior Leng Yue from Mu Xiufeng has fallen in love with you a long time ago. It's time for her to come back from outside this time. Have you..."
Li Jian smiled and said:
"I'm afraid my apprenticeship will have to be postponed for a while, probably after the Cheng Guan En Examination..."
Immediately, Tang Ping realized something and asked:
"Is that Yunxi still secretly causing trouble?"
Li Jian smiled again and said:
"Miss Yun's current situation... seems to me like she is just trying to hold her breath. On the contrary, it is no longer important whether she can become the disciple of Senior Lengyue, or even she has no intention of doing so. When the time comes for the Cheng Guan En Examination next year, she will She will definitely challenge me on stage. Even if she can defeat me then, she will never take Senior Leng Yue as her teacher again. Hum, she will deliberately make Senior Leng Yue look bad! Two people came to see me this time when we came back. , one is Senior Brother Gao Lan, whom Mu Xiufeng and I have a good relationship with. He told me that there are rumors among Mu Xiufeng’s disciples recently that I am snatching Yunxi’s opportunity to become Senior Lengyue’s disciple. Haha, when will I compete with her? What about snatching it away? But with the rumors, if Senior Leng accepts me as a disciple at this time, it seems that it is my chance to snatch Yun Xi away. Later, the person who came to me was Senior Sister Yan Shuang. When she found me, she had an expression on her face. She was still a little embarrassed. She was a disciple of Senior Lu Suyang. Senior Lu was the person in charge of Mu Xiufeng. He must have sent Senior Sister Yan Shuang to find me. She told me about Senior Leng Yue’s current situation and Yun Xi’s situation. My family put a lot of effort behind her becoming a disciple. It is said that many of Mu Xiufeng’s seniors went to Senior Leng Yue to lobby for Yun Xi. Of course, they also approached Senior Lu. If Senior Leng Yue insists on accepting me, If you become a disciple, well, even if it is not a big deal, it can be regarded as refuting the feelings of many fellow disciples. Senior Leng may not care about this, but it will eventually make many pill-forming monks in Mu Xiufeng have a problem with Senior Leng. That is naturally not good. Therefore, Senior Sister Yan Shuang suggested... I might as well pay a visit to Senior Leng Yue, and let me tell Senior Leng that the matter of becoming a disciple might as well be placed after next year's Cheng Guan Grace Examination. As long as I can defeat Yun Xi on the stage with dignity, This will stop many people's tongues, and if I become a disciple of Senior Leng Yue, no one will make irresponsible remarks."
After hearing this, Tang Ping's face darkened and she cursed:
"Damn Yunxi, she actually plotted against Brother Li so deliberately, isn't she afraid that it will end up being self-defeating in the end!"
Lu Pingchuan was even more furious and cursed:
"That woman with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and that pretty boy (Bai Lin), huh, they are a pair of bitches. They are not good things. If you encounter them in the future, you must give them a good beating to get rid of your hatred!"
Yanxuan was also aggrieved for Li Jian and asked with a frown:
"Then...Brother Li, have you gone to visit Senior Lengyue?"
"Of course I went. I can't let Senior Lengyue be at odds with many seniors in Mu Xiufeng just because I want to become a disciple. I went to visit her cave, and Senior Lengyue also saw my intention at a glance. After I finished speaking, she Then he said bitterly that this must all be the arrangement of Senior Lu, and asked me if Yan Shuang had come to find me and wanted to find Senior Lu. I could only explain it, saying that these were all my own thoughts, and it was me. I wanted to become a disciple in an upright and upright manner, so I finally persuaded Senior Lengyue to nod in agreement, but..."
At this point, Li Jian smiled bitterly.
"But what?" Tang Ping asked.
"Senior Leng Yue said that we can postpone the apprenticeship until next year's Cheng Guan grace examination, but if I want me to teach Yun Xi a lesson on stage, I must knock her off the stage directly, and... alas... and No matter which of Mu Xiufeng’s seniors Yunxi becomes his apprentice in the future, my apprenticeship ceremony must be on the same day as Yunxi’s, and I will hold a big one just to make her look even more ugly!”
"ha!"
Hearing this, Tang Ping couldn't help laughing. She had learned from her master, Fairy Guhuo, that Senior Lengyue was a person with a strong character and no sand in his eyes. She didn't expect that she would treat a junior like this. But this is understandable. Who told Yun Xi to make such a calculation?
After hearing this, Yanxuan and Qian Chao also looked in awe of senior Leng Yue.
"Well, this will relieve the hatred!" Lu Pingchuan said.
These people were not worried at all about whether Li Jian could defeat Yun Xi and were full of confidence in Li Jian.
Tang Ping suddenly thought of something and said:
"That's interesting, Mr. Qian, you beat Bai Lin so embarrassingly in public a while ago, do you think he will let you go? He will challenge you even if he spends 10,000 spirit stones during Chengguan's trial, eh , Brother Li will meet Yunxi again then, ha! I am now looking forward to the time passing by faster, so that that day comes early, it will be very lively! "
"Why did you get involved with me again?"
"You can't escape!"
…
After talking about his apprenticeship, Qian Chao then told several of his companions that he wanted to use the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp to bribe Chu Yuan.
Although the Mozun Jade Lamp is a priceless treasure, Li Jian, Yanxuan and Lu Pingchuan all understand that they will definitely find such a treasure in the future, so they all agreed.
Only Lu Pingchuan muttered:
"It's easier for that kid."
The next step is for the five of them to practice together according to the formation, so I won’t go into details.
…
Then Qian Chao started running around, looking for Luo Ying first. Luo Ying gathered Wenyuan, Lu Shuang, Luo Bin, Yan Shuang and others, and then Qian Chao reported the matter to this person. The five of them talked about it exactly, and finally explained that they wanted to bribe Chu Yuan, and the price was the jade lamp in his hand.
After hearing this, Yan Shuang understood that those who wanted to kill her in Hanquan Valley were ordered by a guy named Wen Liang, and Wen Liang was still planning some things, which he didn't know at the moment. Of course, Qian Chao didn't tell these five people clearly, but In order to track down Wen Liang, Chu Yuan must be brought over.
Wenyuan, Lu Shuang, Yan Shuang and Luo Bin, although they felt that the jade lamp was a pity, they did agree with Qian Chao's method.
Only Luo Ying was a little reluctant after hearing this with a cold face.
She said:
"Boy Qian, since we know this, we can capture him and ask Sister Lu's master to interrogate him and protect him. He will tell everything he knows. Why waste a light on him?"
"Otherwise, Senior Sister Luo, I want more than just what he knows. I want him to do my detailed work and find out the news about Xing Rang and Wen Liang for me at all times. That is the most useful thing. Chu Yuan is now considered If you are desperate, you should give in in front of the Mozun Jade Fat Lamp."
"Hmm... Huh! Do you know how much trouble he has caused us? I still feel angry when I think of this..."
"Because of this, I first came to discuss the matter with five senior brothers and sisters. Now that I know his identity, it is easy to get rid of him, but it is most beneficial to keep him alive for our use."
Wenyuan and Lu Shuang also tried to persuade them. At this time, these five people no longer cared much about their grievances with the Qi Refining disciples. As long as they established the foundation, all this would be a passing thing.
"Forget it!" Luo Ying finally let out a heavy breath, obviously she had a deep grudge against Chu Yuan before. "In this case, according to what you said, we will definitely go when the time comes, even if a few of us fight against him. Let’s end it.”
"Thank you so much to the five senior brothers and sisters."
The next step is to go to Ma Hu. Ma Hu has no objection to this. He has no grudge against Chu Yuan, and Qian Chao did this to track down Wen Liang. He is naturally willing, and he will definitely do it according to Qian Chao's request. Take Chu Yuan to Qian Chao's residence.
"Don't worry, Junior Brother Qian, even if I am tied up, I will tie up that boy Chu Yuan."
"Senior Brother Ma, you can't be like this. You must be secretive and don't be discovered by his associates. That would be bad."
"Yes, I understand, don't worry." Ma Hu said confidently.
…
Turning around again, it was almost evening. Tang Ping, Yanxuan, Li Jian, Lu Pingchuan and others had arrived at Qian Chao's place early, and Luo Ying and the other five people also took advantage of the dusk to arrive at Qian Chao's residence.
Luo Ying looked at Qian Chao and the other five people opposite and said:
"Boy Qian, are you really going to do this? One last time, even if you don't take out the mosaic jade lamp, it's okay. I just learned a new method from my grandfather. Keeping him safe will make his life worse than death. Be good. Take orders from us..."
When Qian Chao heard that he knew that Luo Ying hated Chu Yuan, he quickly said:
"Senior Sister Luo, it is most likely that things will happen if he is willing."
"Forget it...then we can only give him an advantage!"
The night gradually became darker, and ten people were sitting in the main hall of Qian Chao's room. Then the courtyard door was pushed open, and a person strode in from the outside, it was Ma Hu.
Following him was another person with a hesitant and gloomy look...
Chu Yuan!
