Traverse countless worlds and myriad realms, conquer the starry seas, rise above the highest dimensional spaces, and become a supreme overlord!
...Just as the three were discussing this matter, a young man walked in from the door. He had a face as white as jade, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a smile on his face. It was Long Junhai.
"Excuse me, are you still accepting disciples here?" Long Junhai asked with a smile.
The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and they all turned their heads to look at the door in surprise. They didn't expect that someone would come to learn martial arts at this time! And they chose a place like theirs where there were no one around to learn martial arts. Is this person mentally ill? Even if he wasn't sick, he must be mentally unstable, otherwise no one would come to a martial arts school like this.
The young woman was extremely excited and immediately stepped forward and said, "We are recruiting students! We recruit students all year round! How long do you want to study here?"
Long Junhai was about to speak when the old man beside him suddenly said, "Sorry, our Ye Family Martial Arts School is closing soon, so we can't recruit any more disciples. Please go back."
Long Junhai was stunned when he heard this. Why was one eager to recruit, while the other was saying it was closing? What exactly did this mean?
Ye Yuyan, who was standing by, quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, our Ye family has never expelled any disciples. If someone sincerely wants to come and study, why wouldn't we accept him?"
The old man said to his daughter with a stern face, "Yuyan, please step aside. You have no right to speak here. I have the final say here. And I'm really sorry, sir, I really can't teach you anything with my current strength."
"What! Is he very strong?"
Ye Yuyan and Meng Sen were both shocked. They had not paid attention to Long Junhai's strength just now because he looked very ordinary, just like a mortal. Now they saw that this man was stronger than both of them!
"This gentleman has reached the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm and may break through to the Golden Immortal realm at any time. My health is not as good as before, and I can barely maintain the level of the early Golden Immortal, so there is really nothing I can teach him." The old man sighed and said.
Hearing this, Long Junhai smiled and said, "It's okay. Master leads the way, but practice is up to you. I'm not actually from the Tang Empire. I'm far away in the Shang Empire, studying under Master Tongtian. Because I reached a bottleneck in my practice, I wanted to break through in other ways. After coming to the Tang Empire, I didn't know anything. In order to avoid taking detours, I thought of coming to the martial arts hall to learn from you. I don't need any training resources. As long as you can share your martial arts experience with me, I will be very grateful!"
This didn't make the old man relax his guard. Instead, he looked at Long Junhai with even more caution. Then, he said with a smile, "I'm truly sorry. Due to poor management, our Ye Family Martial Arts School is no longer able to pay the huge rent expenses. Taking you as an apprentice is simply a drop in the bucket. So, please go back. There are many martial arts schools nearby. You can go somewhere else to learn from a master."
Long Junhai was a little puzzled, but then he thought again that the other party was probably afraid that he had ulterior motives. After all, he had already reached the peak of the celestial being, and it was indeed a bit abrupt for him to come to such a small martial arts gym.
"Excuse me for disturbing you. I'll go somewhere else now." Long Junhai was about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by a young woman next to him.
Long Junhai looked back at her in confusion and asked doubtfully, "Does this lady have anything else to ask for?"
"Are you only interested in learning martial arts experience? If so, as long as you don't mind my weak strength, I can teach you martial arts experience." Ye Yuyan said seriously.
"Oh! Really? There is a sequence in learning, and everyone has their own specialization. As long as you are willing to teach me martial arts experience, why would I care about your strength?" Long Junhai was definitely willing to become a disciple. He only needed a guide and did not need any advanced skills at all.
"That's good, but let me be frank. I need you to pay a hundred years' tuition in full in one lump sum. I don't provide food and lodging here, nor do I provide any training resources. I don't have any advanced training techniques, but I can give you a 20% discount on the tuition. Other ordinary martial arts schools charge a thousand Tongbao a day, but I'll only charge you eight hundred! So paying a hundred years' tuition in one lump sum should be..."
Ye Yuyan was calculating in her head how much tuition Long Junhai would have to pay when she heard him say with a smile, "Don't bother. I'll just give you the whole amount. One thousand Tongbao a day. For a hundred years, I'll give you 40 million directly. This way, you won't lose money if prices go up in the future."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yuyan and the other two were stunned. They had never expected the other party to be so generous! Forty million Tongbao coins was no small sum! Even an ordinary family in Chang'an City couldn't possibly come up with such a large sum of money at once. Only someone with a very rich family background could come up with such a large sum of money.
"Wait! Yuyan, did I allow you to accept a disciple? This person's origin is unknown, so you cannot accept him as your disciple." The old man frowned. He had experienced too many things in his life. Sometimes it seemed that he had gained an advantage, but in fact he had suffered a great loss.
Long Junhai's origins were unknown. If he had ill intentions, the Ye Family Martial Arts School could fall into his pocket. Losing the entire Ye Family Martial Arts School would be equivalent to losing over 3 billion in Tongbao! Now, the only thing left in the Ye Family that was still valuable was this martial arts school!
"Junior sister, just listen to Master's advice. We can't pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelons. Some people may seem kind, but in fact they may have ulterior motives. You are young and have little experience in the world of martial arts. You might be deceived!" Meng Sen also tried to dissuade her, because he didn't want Long Junhai to stay here. Once the other party stayed, it would probably add an obstacle to him. So no matter what, he couldn't let Long Junhai stay smoothly!
But Ye Yuyan was stubborn. She said firmly, "Father, I am an unfilial daughter. I will not listen to you this time. You can give up the entire Ye Family Martial Arts School for me, but I cannot give up! Because this martial arts school is your hard work, and it is also the place where I grew up! Even if I lose the Ye Family Martial Arts School, I don't want to give it up directly! Please let me fight again! If you really don't want to, you can kick me out of the house. From today on, I will set up my own family and make the entire Ye Family flourish!"
"Nonsense! What do you know! You have only been through a few days of storms? The Ye family is mine, and you are my daughter! You must listen to me! I plan to sell the Ye family martial arts school today! Meng Sen, accompany me to the stock exchange to list the sign!" The old man said angrily.
Hearing this, Long Junhai shook his head speechlessly, then said calmly: "There's no need for the three of you to quarrel over such trivial matters. How about this? I live on Chang'an Street myself, only a dozen miles away from your martial arts hall. I can pay Miss Ye to come to my place to teach me martial arts experience. I'll pay 100 million Tongbao for a hundred years. That way, the three of you don't have to worry about my other intentions, because I am an upright person and have settled down in Chang'an City. If you don't believe me, you can go and see where I am. Oh, by the way, my place used to be a brothel called Xiaoyaoju. You should have heard of it, right?"
