Chapter 41

"I'd like to ask when Senior Lan Jueming will be returning?"

"He's gone out on errands, and I don't know when he'll be back."

Su Mu lowered his head in disappointment.

"Is there something you need?"

I want to become his apprentice.

Qingtang smiled and said, "Countless people want to become his disciples every year. Our Taotao suffered a lot back then." After saying that, she went to Jingtao's side and tidied up her hair that Chengfeng had messed up.

Su Mu knew his shortcomings, but he was unwilling to give up. "Then I will stay here every day until he is willing to accept me as his apprentice."

"Jing Tao can take you to Cheng Feng, and you can train with the demon hunters under Cheng Feng's command."

"Really?" Su Mu's hope was rekindled.

Qing Tang nodded. "After all, being able to join Cheng Feng's team is one in a million."

Su Mu bowed to Qing Tang and said, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me, it all depends on whether Cheng Feng is willing to take you in."

"Okay, I'll go and beg him right now."

"Oh, right, I haven't finished speaking."

Ren Dong sat down next to Qing Tang and carefully recounted what happened next.

Dongfang Jin bowed to Qing Tang and said, "Then I'll take my leave too."

As Qingtang watched Dongfang Jin leave, she asked Rendong, "Who was that just now?"

Honeysuckle smiled and said, "He is Dongfang Jin, the eldest son of Dongfang City. He traveled with us on the way."

Qing Tang had heard of Dongfang City, a wealthy and powerful city. "Then why would he abandon his status as a young master and come here?"

Ren Dong glanced at Jing Tao and smiled slightly, "You'll have to ask Jing Tao about that."

Qingtang looked at Jingtao in disbelief and said, "No way! Could it be Dongfang Jin?"

Honeysuckle nodded to Qingtang, "Although this is just my feeling, we can ask him about it sometime."

"Is he good to Tao Tao?" Qing Tang was still most concerned about this question.

Honeysuckle nodded confidently, "Of course, he's willing to risk his life to protect Jingtao."

"Then I'll take care of it."

Qingtang affectionately patted Jingtao's head, "Finally, you've found someone who can treat you well."

On the other side.

Su Mu found Cheng Feng and knelt down with a thud.

"My name is Zhao Sumu, please accept me as your apprentice."

Chengfeng also knew that Qingtang would push the blame onto him.

Why should I take you in?

"I will try my best, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Cheng Feng smiled and said, "There are plenty of hardworking people in this world. Does your hard work guarantee results?"

Su Mu was asked the question.

"If it weren't for Jing Tao, you might never have met me in your life."

"I know, which is why I want to seize this hard-won opportunity even more. Although I'm not as good as Jing Tao, nor as talented as Dongfang Jin, I will work even harder than them. One day, I believe my efforts will not let me down."

Cheng Feng recalled that when Jing Tao first arrived here, he would always see a small figure in the martial arts arena at night.

"For Jing Tao's sake, you'll train with my unit from now on."

"Really?" Su Mu finally dared to raise his head and look at Cheng Feng.

"You can go now, seize every moment."

Su Mu immediately got up and ran in the direction Cheng Feng pointed.

Unexpectedly, after delivering one, another one came.

"What, you also want to become my disciple? Kneel down first, then tell me your reasons."

"I just want to know what your relationship is with Jing Tao."

Cheng Feng was surprised by Dongfang Jin's words and immediately became interested. "What do you mean by that?"

"literal meaning"

Could it be that this kid likes Jing Tao?

Cheng Feng wanted to laugh but dared not show it. "What kind of relationship do you want between her and me? Or, could we have some other kind of relationship?"

The veins on Dongfang Jin's hand, which was gripping the sword hilt, were already showing.

Cheng Feng, seeing the angry man before him, teased him, "What? You can't even beat me, yet you want to know these things?"

Dongfang Jin thrust her sword forward, but Cheng Feng easily blocked it with the hilt of his sword. The two then engaged in a fierce battle.

Cheng Feng teased Dongfang Jin with great interest.

"Boy, you can't wield a sword if your mind is in turmoil."

Cheng Feng drew his sword and knocked the sword out of Dongfang Jin's hand with a single move.

"Sure, if you'll let me draw my sword, I'll give you a chance. Kneel down now and I'll take you in."

Dongfang Jin picked up the sword and left without looking back.

This kid should stay; Mr. Lan will be very satisfied when he sees him.
