Xiao Muling continued: "At this moment, a mysterious man came to Sister Feiyan and asked her to steal the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot in Nei Wutang. Sister Feiyan heard that the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot can drive away evil spirits and cure grandma's illness. So I agreed to the mysterious man."
According to Xiao Muling, the condition proposed by Song Feiyan at that time was that after she succeeded, she asked for a small part of the soul refining pot fragments to be used to treat her grandma. At that time, the mysterious man fully agreed.
But who knew that after she brought out the Soul Refining Pot fragments, the mysterious man went back on his promise and not only demanded that she hand over all the fragments, he also planned to kill her to silence her!
Therefore, Song Feiyan did not stop and fled with the whole fragment. She knew that the mysterious man would not let her go, so she took the opportunity to go home and hand the fragment into the hands of Mu Ling.
Song Feiyan told Mu Ling that if one day, someone could help her grandma resolve the disaster, she would hand over the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot as a reward.
What we did today was clearly seen by the little wood spirit in secret, so it followed Song Feiyan's previous instructions and showed up in person to hand over the fragments of the Soul Refining Pot.
At this time, Lonnie, Bai Ze, and Xiaona also noticed the movement here and came over one after another. After seeing the wood spirit, they all showed shocked expressions.
After listening to the story told by Mu Ling, everyone was not only happy, but also felt sad for Song Feiyan's experience.
Speaking of which, she was also a kind person. She stole the Soul Refining Pot fragments just to save her grandmother. She had no ill intentions. But now she died at the hands of a mysterious man. It can only be said that fate played a trick on her.
After the renovation of the courtyard was completed, I directly advanced tens of thousands of dollars from my and Lonnie's savings and gave it to the workers.
After that, we asked the old lady to take care of herself, and promised to come back to see her when we find time. We also asked Xiao Muling to take good care of the old lady. After doing all this, we took the soul refining pot fragments and embarked on the journey back to the inner fifth hall.
After a long day and night, we rushed back to the headquarters of Neiwutang. Bai Ze had to return to Bai's house for something, so he said goodbye to us and left.
Lonnie and I went straight to meet Mr. Hu San.
At this moment, Mr. Hu San was standing in the lobby, holding the fragment of the Soul Refining Pot in his hand, his eyes narrowed with joy.
"Okay, okay!"
"Cheng Yi, I really saw you right. You have made a great contribution this time!"
Lonnie took the opportunity to say: "Grandpa, we have helped you find the fragment of the Soul Refining Pot. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your promise?"
Mr. Hu San smiled and said: "You girl is quite impatient. Don't worry, I, Hu San, will naturally not regret what I said."
"Cheng Yi, from today on, I will officially accept you as my disciple. From now on, you will be my inner disciple, Hu San!"
When I heard this, I was so happy that I immediately knelt down and called the master.
"Wait a minute."
Mr. Hu San waved his hand and said calmly: "When I, Hu San, accept a disciple, a formal ceremony must be held. How can I be so perfunctory? When the formal ceremony is held, it won't be too late for you to kneel down and worship!"
I quickly cupped my hands and said, "Cheng Yi is completely at my grandpa's disposal!"
There are only a handful of inner disciples of Master Hu San, and their status is higher than that of the other four disciples.
Since then, I have become more than just a nominal minister, but have truly become an official member of the inner five sects. It will be much easier for me to do things in the future.
After a night's rest, the next morning, Master Hu San's apprenticeship ceremony was officially held.
In the main hall of the five inner gates, the decoration was grand and solemn. Except for Mr. Hu San, the heads of the Bai family, the Huang family, the Liu family, the Hui family, and the leading figures of each family gathered together and all appeared in the lobby of the headquarters. among.
These big shots from the five inner sects, it is usually difficult to meet them, but today they all came out to participate in my apprenticeship ceremony. This shows that Mr. Hu San's lofty status and extraordinary influence among the five inner sects.
They dare not deny Mr. Hu San's face, but they have their own ideas about my attitude.
Some people are still arrogant and can't stand me, saying that I just got lucky to become Master Hu San's apprentice.
Some people, anticipating my future status, took the initiative to get close to me, hoping that I could become their ally.
Others remained indifferent, neither catering to me nor ridiculing me, but just looked at everything indifferently, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
I had already heard about the mutual strife and different thoughts of the five inner sects, so I didn't take these people's opinions to heart. When the ceremony officially began, I solemnly kowtowed to Mr. Hu San three times.
"Disciple Cheng Yi, meet the master!"
"Okay, get up!"
Mr. Hu San is sitting on the throne in the center of the lobby, with a crown of green feathers on his head and a yellow mantle, full of momentum.
"From today on, Cheng Yi is my inner sect disciple, Hu San. All the disciples of the five inner sects must treat Cheng Yi with courtesy in the future and fully cooperate with him in the tasks he performs without making any mistakes!"
"yes!"
Under the suppression of Mr. Hu San's aura, all the big guys from the five inner sects stood up one after another and bowed their heads respectfully.
After the official apprenticeship, there are various tedious procedures such as offering incense, toasting, offering tablets, etc. The whole ceremony does not officially end until three shots after sunset.
After the ceremony, the big guys from the inner five sects left in twos and threes. I was about to leave with Lonnie, but Mr. Hu San stopped me from behind.
"Cheng Yi, come here."
I didn't know why, so I followed Mr. Hu San to a secret room behind the lobby.
After the door closed, Mr. Hu San's smiling face that had been maintained all day suddenly disappeared and his serious look returned.
"Cheng Yi, now that you are my apprentice, I think there are some things that I should let you know."
"After the theft of the soul refining pot fragments, I can already conclude that there must be an insider among our five inner halls. The mysterious person you mentioned is very likely to be a member of our inner five halls."
"This person is so anxious to collect the Soul Refining Pot fragments to achieve his own ulterior purpose, so I want you to find the remaining Soul Refining Pot fragments before him!"
I was suddenly stunned. Hearing what Mr. Hu San meant, the rest of the Soul Refining Pot fragments were all lost in the outside world!
I always thought that although the Soul Refining Pot was broken, all the fragments should be under the control of Nei Wutang. Only now did I know that Mr. Hu San only had one fragment in his hands!
Since I have become Mr. Hu San's apprentice, I naturally have to share his worries and solve his problems. I have already expected this, so I have no objection to Mr. Hu San's request.
