Chapter 284 Finding a Disciple
Chapter 284 Finding a Disciple
Butler Zhou also knew about the Lingxiao Sect's founding and suspected it was connected to Qiqi. He also knew about the Black Tiger Sect's dirty deeds, and it was only a matter of time before they were wiped out. The Lingxiao Sect must be related to Qiqi and the others, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence that they all share the same name. The name was meant to attract them, making it easier to find them.
Why didn't I think of this? If I had known, I would have let Xiaoze establish a sect as well. Alas, I'm old and can't keep up with the agility of the young. I'll take Xiaoze to see if it's Qiqi and the others.
Butler Zhou quickly went to find Zhou Jingze and told him that his former best friend had founded a new sect and that they should go and congratulate him. "I'll prepare the gifts. We'll leave tomorrow. Xiaoze, you should prepare them too."
Zhou Jingze was confused. "My friend, how come I don't remember anything at all? I can't remember anything." Then he'd listen to the old housekeeper and see what kind of friend he was. The housekeeper wouldn't harm him. He trusted him now. Although his parents treated him very well, he felt a little reluctant to get close to them. He didn't know why. He racked his brains but couldn't figure out the reason. He also had no feelings for his sister.
Sometimes, he imagines a five- or six-year-old little sister playing with him, but not his current sister. Seeing this scene gives him a headache, but it quickly passes. At night, he also dreams of two adorable twins calling him "Daddy." They throw themselves into his arms and act like a spoiled child, demanding he teach them martial arts and cultivation techniques. He wakes up each day feeling incredibly happy, but then feels disappointed when there are no children around. He doesn't know what's going on, and he doesn't dare to say anything.
When I go out with Butler Zhou tomorrow, I'll find a chance to tell him about the dream and see what he knows.
Ling Xuzi quickly arrived at the Lingxiao Sect. Xie Lei had already taken down the Black Tiger Sect's plaque. Today, the City Lord's Mansion's old steward had already finished making the Lingxiao Sect's plaque and had delivered it, which was being hung. He also saw the plaque with the Lingxiao Sect's name on it.
He found a disciple and asked what the name of their sect leader was. "We have a deputy sect leader named Xie Lei."
"Take me to see him, and I'll be his master. This kid is amazing! He really became the deputy sect leader."
"Okay, okay, please follow me." Ling Xuzi was soon invited into the sect and came to Xie Lei's study.
"Deputy Sect Leader, your master is here." Xie Lei flew out of the room upon hearing the voice. He immediately hugged his master.
"Master, I'm glad you're okay. I've been waiting for you to come. I've been looking for you for a long time." Xie Lei said with red eyes almost crying.
"Xie Lei, Master is fine. Master just regrets not holding you tightly and letting you wander by yourself for so long. You didn't encounter any dangerous things, did you? What about Qiqi and the others? Did you find them?" Ling Xuzi asked.
"Master, I am with Qiqi now. The sect was also founded by Qiqi. It was the idea given by the old steward of Zhouxian City. We destroyed the Black Tiger Sect. The Black Tiger Sect's good buildings are idle anyway, so let us build our own base here. Qiqi wanted to establish the Lingxiao Sect. When you, Master, know about it, you will definitely come to see what kind of connection this sect has with the human world. You will definitely come here, and then we will be reunited. Master, you take a rest first, I will go find Qiqi." After Xie Lei finished speaking, he ran out.
Soon Qiqi's voice came. "Master, are you well? I miss you so much." Qiqi came in and hugged Master's arm, shaking it a few times.
"Qiqi, it's Master's fault for being incompetent and failing to protect you. I'm sorry. Especially Xie Lei, he followed me and I lost him. I let you suffer so much." Ling Xuzi blamed himself.
"Master, how can you be blamed for this! Aren't we all doing well? Please don't blame yourself. Come, I will take you to meet my little disciple, your grand-disciple." After saying this, Qiqi took Ling Xuzi out.
Qiqi was afraid that if her master continued to talk, he would be upset. So she took him to visit the Lingxiao Sect in the immortal world. The entire Lingxiao Sect had five courtyards with five entrances and exits. It was very grand and majestic, much more magnificent than those in the human world. It was also simple and elegant.
The old butler and Xiao Yi were arranging the candidates for the sect. The old butler and a few old friends were overseeing the selection process. They planned to select the best disciples for Qiqi and the others, and reject all who were unqualified. They couldn't accept everything. Those with weak martial arts skills could start with the outer sect. After that, they would undergo annual assessments, and if they passed, they could enter the inner sect.
The old housekeeper was conscientious and capable, and Xiao Yi was diligent and sweet-talking. They coaxed the old housekeeper's friends and made things go smoothly all day long.
"Xiao Yi, come here. Meet your master," Qiqi called.
"Master, you are here. Who do you think is the grandmaster?" Xiao Yi also saw Ling Xuzi, who had an immortal look behind Qiqi.
"Xiao Yi greets Grandmaster." Xiao Yi quickly came to Ling Xuzi, knelt down, and kowtowed three times. Ling Xuzi was very fond of Xiao Yi's cleverness. He took out a pill and gave it to Xiao Yi.
"Xiao Yi, this is a pill for promotion. I give it to you." Ling Xuzi said.
"Thank you, Master."
"Good boy, you're welcome."
"Hello, Immortal Master. I am Butler Zhang of the Lord of Zhouxian City. Thank you for giving the elixir to Xiaoyi. Thank you for recognizing this child." Butler Zhang said.
"Butler Zhang, you are too polite. Thank you and the city lord for taking care of my apprentices Qiqi and Xie Lei!" Ling Xuzi said politely.
"You're too polite. It was Qiqi who saved our Xiaoyi and accepted him as her disciple. The city lord is grateful to her so much! You two can chat as master and disciple, I'm going to get busy." After saying this, Butler Zhang went to get busy.
Xiao Yi was very smart. He quickly arranged a room for Master Ling Xuzi and took him there. He also prepared meals and served tea and water.
Ling Xuzi also gave Xiao Yi a book on cultivation, hoping that he could use it.
Seeing that his master was tired, Xiao Yi let him rest first. He skipped to the old housekeeper with the book given to him by his master in his hand.
"Xiao Yi, why are you so happy? What book are you holding in your hand?" asked Butler Zhang.
"Uncle Zhang, this is a book on cultivation given to me by my master. I just flipped through it and it's a bit difficult to practice. I don't know how long it will take me to get started!"
Butler Zhang took it and looked at it. "Xiao Yi, you should practice the techniques in this book carefully. It will help you in refining pills! As expected of your master, he knew what kind of techniques you should practice just by looking at your physique. The immortal master is no ordinary person. When I get back, I'll tell your father, and he'll be more confident in you following your master."
