Chapter 1785 Martial Uncle Accepts Disciple
Zong Bie had actually been investigating Xiao Sheng's background all along.
At first, there were some doubts and clues, but it wasn't until he drowned that it became certain.
He didn't want to tell Xiao Sheng the truth.
If Xiao Sheng knew that he was conceived by a high-ranking monk and a noble lady who was also a pilgrim, and that his own father wanted to kill him, he would probably be very sad and find it hard to accept.
He originally intended to keep the truth a secret forever, but he never expected that things would turn out so coincidentally—
Xiao Sheng's aunt had entered the palace by chance and caught the eye of the then Crown Prince.
Later, he made another mistake and was sent to the cold palace.
Before she was sent to the Cold Palace, she had some chances to leave the palace. At that time, she met Xiao Sheng and realized that Xiao Sheng looked like her sister. So she followed him all the way to the mountain village and found him.
Zong Bie never expected that he would fall in love with that woman after just a few visits.
It's just that my status doesn't allow it.
They met a few times, but the relationship was always fabricated.
For Xiao Sheng's sake, and because there was no possibility between them, Zong Bie later ruthlessly ended their relationship, telling the other party not to come looking for them again.
Little Saint doesn't even know yet.
"I will ask him to clarify because I discovered during my visit to the Cold Palace that Su Xiaolian should know about that matter."
The female ghost who wanted to marry the Prince of Jin and cast a spell on him, casting a dark peach blossom.
Behind him was a barbarian high priest.
She had been staying in the Cold Palace, which suggests that she had discovered Aunt Xiaosheng's secret.
"If the female ghost had revealed this matter to the barbarian high priest, I wonder if the high priest would have used Little Saint to negotiate cooperation with the abbot of Changyin Temple."
"Changyin Temple holds a prestigious position in Nanzhao. If the abbot can persuade the King of Nanzhao, the relationship between Nanzhao and the Great Zhou will become troublesome."
Who knows what other wicked thoughts the high priest might have in mind?
Yin Changxing's concern is indeed justified.
Weng Songzhi also had this concern upon hearing this. After all, Xiao Ling'er's birth mother was from Nanzhao, and they didn't know what her relationship with the King of Nanzhao was. If the High Priest knew more about it than they did, and used the King of Nanzhao, trouble would inevitably arise in the future.
“Now that things are clear, we need to keep an eye on Xiao Sheng,” Yin Changxing said. “So today I asked Xiao Sheng if he would like to join the First Mystic Sect.”
"Senior brother, are you going to personally accept disciples?" Weng Songzhi asked.
After he asked the question, Yin Changxing just looked at him without answering.
Under his silent gaze, Weng Songzhi suddenly realized what was going on.
He pointed to himself, incredulous. "Senior brother, do you mean I should take him as my disciple?"
Yin Changxing nodded.
"Correct."
He deserved it without the slightest guilt.
“I asked him, and he agreed.” Yin Changxing looked at Weng Songzhi and said, “So, congratulations, junior brother, on gaining a good disciple.”
"Jingjing, prepare some things for the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow. Xiaosheng will be coming to perform the apprenticeship ceremony." Yin Changxing called to Rong Jingjing again.
Rong Jingjing immediately stood up. "Yes, Master!"
"No, senior brother, why are you helping me take on a disciple? Shouldn't it be me who takes a liking to someone, someone with whom I have a master-disciple bond, and someone I think through carefully before taking on a disciple?"
Yin Changxing stood up, flicked his robes, and said, "What's the big deal? When I was still dead, my good disciples had already taken on disciples for me. Now that you're alive, why can't I help you take on disciples?"
Weng Songzhi: "......"
The problem is that he hasn't considered taking on any apprentices yet.
For the past few years, he had been living without any vitality and just waiting to die. Without his cultivation, he had become a recluse. He hasn't changed yet and still wants to continue being a recluse.
Once someone accepts a disciple, they must be responsible for them, right? They must diligently teach and help them in their spiritual practice, right?
Xiao Sheng's background...
In other words, he still had to risk his life to protect his disciple.
It wasn't that he was unwilling to protect Xiao Sheng, but this forced...
Weng Songzhi watched his senior brother walk away quickly, speechless. Well, he was just a nobody, and there was nothing he could do.
Seeing her martial uncle's discomfiture, Rong Jingjing giggled and asked, "Martial Uncle, is there anything you need to tell me? I'll get it all done tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll definitely prepare a gift for my junior brother!"
Lu Song, who was standing next to him, quickly added, "Uncle-Master, me too."
He had been accepted into the sect by the sect before, so he naturally welcomed this fellow disciple.
“I’ll also give a gift tomorrow,” Gu Sanliang said.
Weng Songzhi said helplessly, "You can watch the apprenticeship ceremony together tomorrow."
Alright, he's going to have an apprentice.
The next morning, Lu Zhaoling saw Zheng Ying waiting in their courtyard.
Qingyin and Qingbao were still chatting quietly with her.
"Zheng Ying?"
"Your Highness, there is a joyous occasion at Huai Garden today. Miss Rong asked me to come and tell you first."
Zheng Ying quickly told him about Weng Songzhi's intention to take on a disciple.
For the First Mystic Sect to grow stronger, Lu Zhaoling, as the senior disciple, absolutely must be present.
In the past, when they were recruiting Lü Song, their master was not around, so they had to make do. But things are different now.
"My master is going to take on a disciple?" Is this happening so suddenly?
Zheng Ying didn't know who Weng Songzhi was going to take on as his apprentice, so Rong Jingjing asked her to come over first to let her know that it was time to prepare a gift for Lu Zhaoling.
Frog Brother has been sent to communicate with Yin Yunting late at night.
To be honest, Yin Changxing didn't expect that Madam Sheng would ask Yin Yunting to leave last night.
But last night he thought Yin Yunting would be able to get back today.
“Miss Rong also asked Xiao Liu to inform Scholar Jin,” Zheng Ying said.
The junior apprentice will also be present.
"Oh, so that means Junior Brother is going to have a Junior Brother?"
Logically speaking, Xiao Sheng is older than Jin Yuan, but their sect does not rank members by age.
Jin Yuan was the first to join the sect, and in terms of talent, he was stronger.
So Jin Yuan is going to be the senior apprentice!
Lu Zhaoling found this idea rather novel.
"Alright, I'll go back with the prince later. I'll prepare a gift for our first meeting."
Zheng Ying left quickly before Zhou Shiyue came out.
Lu Zhaoling looked at Qingyin and Qingbao, "I was supposed to go back to my parents' home tomorrow?"
The traditional custom is to return to one's parents' home three days after the wedding, but today is the third day.
"Your Highness, Granny Qing says that today is the day for the bride to return to her parents' home."
"So, we servants were preparing things for your homecoming today."
“That’s quite a coincidence. My junior brother has chosen a good time to start his studies,” Lu Zhaoling said. “Come on, come with me to pick out a gift for our first meeting.”
Zhou Shiyue got up a little late today.
When he got up, Lu Zhaoling was no longer beside him.
He called Qinglin and Qingfeng to bring in the water to wash up. As Qinglin watched his master slowly sit up, his habit of being cheeky kicked in again.
"Your Highness, you've reversed the roles of other grooms. In other weddings, the groom is the one who gets up first after the ceremony, but you..."
That won't do!
Isn't the new bride supposed to be too delicate to get out of bed?
Their prince has been reversed.
The princess is majestic.
The prince is no good.
Before Qinglin could finish speaking, Qingfeng nudged him with his elbow.
But Qinglin has already fully expressed his meaning.
So, Qinglin was happy to get the job of cleaning the stables today.
