Chapter 842: Become a Disciple
ancient capital
Yucang Card Making House
Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as they came in, they smelled the fragrance of rice.
His expression changed.
It seems that it’s just time for dinner.
Dengdengdeng...
A series of footsteps came down from the second floor. A little girl who looked like a doll heard the sound and walked down. When she saw Yu Cang, her eyes widened immediately.
"Brother! Sister!"
Qi'er's face was immediately filled with surprise. She jumped up, and her petite body actually flew directly up, passing through layers of shelves and directly pounced on Yu Cang!
"Qi'er! Be careful!"
Yu Cang was really surprised by the girl's enthusiasm, and he hurried forward to catch the chess piece.
Poof!
Qi'er threw herself into Yu Cang's arms and buried her little face in his chest.
"Brother, you're finally back... Woohoo, Qi'er hasn't seen brother for a long time. Qi'er misses brother so much..."
The girl's voice became tearful as she spoke.
This made Yu Cang's eyes soften all of a sudden. He gently patted Qi'er's back to comfort the girl.
"I'm sorry, Qi'er..."
"snort!"
Qi'er interrupted Yu Cang's defense.
She knew in her heart that Yu Cang had something to do, so she just acted coquettishly for a while and didn't pester him anymore. Instead, she climbed from Yu Cang's arms to his shoulders, put her little face on Yu Cang's shoulder, and looked at Gu Jieshuang behind Yu Cang.
"Sister! Qi'er misses you too!"
Gu Jieshuang had a smile on her face. She reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the girl's face.
"Sister misses you too... Have you been behaving well at your uncle and aunt's house during this time?"
"Of course Qi'er is well behaved!"
…
"Xiao Cang?"
Yu Shuhong stood at the stairs without knowing when. He looked Xiao Cang up and down.
"You...you and Jie Shuang didn't even tell me in advance that you were coming back. Your mother didn't even prepare dinner."
Gu Jieshuang bowed obediently: "Hello, uncle!"
Yu Cang: "No need to go through so much trouble, after all..."
"Wait." Yu Shuhong suddenly realized something was wrong, and his tone quickly changed from joy to astonishment. "You...you broke through to the state defense level?"
Yu Cang nodded gently: "Yes."
"Hiss... so fast?"
Yu Shuhong was shocked.
Before, when Yu Cang came back, they could sense Yu Cang's breath in advance and go out to greet him.
Now, it is no longer possible to feel it in advance.
For Yu Shuhong, even the guardian of the country might not be able to hide so well under his nose... Obviously, Yu Cang was not only promoted to the guardian of the country, but he was also not an ordinary guardian of the country!
Yu Cang chuckled: "It was just a fluke."
It seems like it was just yesterday when I broke through level seven.
Logically speaking, there is a threshold between level seven and level eight, and many soul card masters will be stuck at this level for many years.
But Yu Cang's foundation was laid too well, and the successive encounters and battles in the star realm had given Yu Cang unimaginable training, so the breakthrough after returning to Blue Star was a natural outcome.
"You kid!"
Yu Shuhong came back to his senses and cursed with a smile.
"I knew you were improving quickly... I didn't expect you to improve this fast!"
Now, not only in card making, but also in soul card making, Yu Cang has caught up with him.
Soon... I'm going to be completely surpassed.
Yu Shuhong's eyes were complicated for a moment, but then he immediately composed himself, walked up and patted Yu Cang on the shoulder.
"Don't just stand there, come in quickly...Who is this?"
At this time, Yu Shuhong noticed Lou Yan behind the two of them.
Lou Yan's expression turned serious, and he bowed sharply: "Hello, Master!"
Yu Shuhong: “…Ah?”
…
Mu Xuezhi was cooking. Yu Cang came to the second floor and immediately rushed into the kitchen to replace his mother.
Fortunately, he arrived in time... The meal is not ready yet, so let him take over.
So, Mu Xuezhi was pushed out of the kitchen helplessly with a smile on her face.
After the explanation.
Yu Shuhong nodded as if he understood something.
"So... you are the current Emperor Khan of the Eternal Life Tent?"
Lou Yan nodded repeatedly: "Yeah!"
"Although he just became a Soul Card Master, he has the power of a myth?"
Ling Sui sat upright beside him: "That's it!"
"Then, you are Xiao Cang's apprentice?"
"Yes!" they said in unison.
Mu Xuezhi was silent.
Yu Shuhong: “…reasonable.”
He is finding the world increasingly difficult to understand.
"Master, Master. I'm here to complete the apprenticeship ceremony."
Ling Sui's face was serious. He signaled to Lou Yan with his eyes. The other party immediately understood and took out two objects from his arms.
Crash!
At this moment, there was a brilliant golden light, and Yu Shuhong and the others seemed to hear the sound of a treasure being born.
That's...gold!
Lou Yan handed one of them to Mu Xuezhi and said, "Madam, this is a national gift from our Changsheng Tent. It's the Nine Heavens Golden Jade Dragon and Phoenix Crown. It's crafted from pure gold and the finest Changsheng jade. It perfectly complements your temperament. Please accept it."
Mu Xuezhi hissed: "This..."
As a senior card maker, he is not short of money, but... this crown is quite large and the craftsmanship is incredibly exquisite. Even if the carvings on it are magnified a thousand times, you can still see all kinds of details.
The Longevity Jade is a rare treasure. She can feel a sense of peace of mind just by looking at it. It is not difficult to imagine that if she wears it for a long time, her mental state will definitely be extremely good.
Moreover, totemic patterns can be seen on it. Obviously, this thing is not a simple decoration, but also integrates some abilities... A rough perception shows that it should be related to the void attribute.
Taking all factors into consideration, this piece of jewelry can definitely be called a priceless treasure.
Then, Lou Yan took out something from his arms.
Golden light burst out, this... is actually a pure gold watch.
He handed it to Yu Shuhong and said, "Master, this is a watch I specially asked Haiting's designer to design. I hope you like it."
Yu Shuhong smiled slightly, then took it leisurely.
He looked at Mu Xuezhi, who was a little embarrassed, and said, "Hey, Xuezhi, just accept the child if he's given to you. With your strength, it's not like you can't accept such a thing."
After coming out of the death zone of the real dragon, they have all become the guardians of the country.
As the dual guardians of the country, soul card masters and card makers can even compete for the position of myth. Of course, they can accept gifts of this level.
I'll find time to make a few Heirloom Soul Cards as a return gift later.
Mu Xuezhi nodded hesitantly: "Okay then..."
Lou Yan then said, "By the way, Master, there is a strange space inside the watch, and there is a little gadget inside."
"Really? Let me see."
Yu Shuhong happily probed his senses into it, and then his body suddenly stiffened.
Damn, so flashy!
This, this, this... sixteen golden carriages?
There are countless totem patterns inside. Yu Shuhong knew at a glance that they must have been carved by several national-level totem masters. It combines beauty and practicality, which is quite exaggerated.
this……
Yu Shuhong fell silent.
How can he give back this gift?
Since he is Xiao Cang's apprentice, the gift he gives in return must be worth more than these... Even with his current level, it would be quite difficult for him to come up with something worth more than this.
At least, it is impossible to get it out in a short period of time.
Oh no, it’s too early to brag.
For a moment, he was a little torn.
At this time, Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang had already walked out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
"Dad, Mom." Yu Cang placed the dishes on the table. "Lou Yan gave it to you, so just accept it. I'll give you the return gift."
Yu Shuhong: “…”
This was said so casually.
It was as if these things were just a joke to Xiao Cang.
Hmm...it seems that it is almost there.
With Xiao Cang's current status and strength, there is no need to worry about wealth at all.
These two old guys who just came out of the real dragon's death zone are definitely no match for him.
Thinking of this, he sighed.
Even his net worth has been exceeded!
…
After a simple meal, Lou Yan and Ling Sui completed the apprenticeship ceremony.
Lou Yan wanted to offer tea and kowtow according to the customs of Yan State, but Yu Cang stopped him.
There aren't so many rules here, just do whatever you want.
In fact, he had never heard of the set of preparations that Lou Yan was going to prepare. If he wanted to know the specific process, he had to check it online.
In short, there is no need to elaborate on the red tape.
In the afternoon, Yu Cang called Kang Nan and Gu Tu to the store.
…
The two little ones rushed into the store, came in front of Yu Cang, and stood at attention.
"Mr. Yu Cang!"
Kang Nan looked at Yu Cang with bright eyes, his eyes full of excitement.
"I followed your instructions and have already won the top prize!"
Beside her, Gu Tu gritted his teeth and said, "I, I too..."
Kang Nan simply said on his behalf: "Gutu is also very hardworking! He gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and he has lived up to your expectations - he also won the top spot in the military science exam!"
Yu Cang smiled immediately: "Very good."
"Hehe...I didn't let you down, sir!" The little girl puffed out her chest, quite proud.
Yu Cang coughed lightly, and under the expectant gazes of the two little ones, he said:
"Since you have already fulfilled your promise, I will not break my promise either - from now on, you can call me teacher."
As soon as these words came out, both of them stopped breathing at the same time.
Kang Nan's face flushed with excitement, and she nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Teacher! I will definitely follow your teachings and carry forward your reputation!"
On the side, Gutu hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Me too!"
Just then.
Lou Yan and Ling Sui suddenly stood up.
"that……"
Lou Yan waved his hand, attracting the attention of the two.
"Hello, senior brothers and sisters..."
The two little ones turned their heads at the same time and looked at Lou Yan, who was even younger than them, and Ling Sui, who was floating beside them and had an extraordinary temperament.
“…Huh?”
…
"Teacher, you mean... he is the current Emperor Khan of the Changsheng Tent?!" Kang Nan opened his eyes wide.
Lou Yan nodded repeatedly: "Yeah!"
Gu Tu was so shocked that his eyes were dazed: "God, myth..."
Ling Sui sat upright beside him: "That's it!"
“This, this…”
Kang Nan wanted to speak but stopped, and stopped talking but still wanted to.
Finally, he took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly turned into stars.
“This is so cool!”
On the side, Gutu's face turned pale with fear: "This, this, this is not cool at all... Kangnan, that's a myth..."
"Gugu, what are you afraid of!" Kang Nan patted Gutu's shoulder in frustration, "Didn't you hear them? They call us senior brothers and sisters. We are from the same school—having a myth as a junior brother, isn't that cool?"
"This, this..." Gutu has lost the ability to speak.
I won’t say anything about the fact that I have two junior brothers just after becoming a disciple.
One is a myth, the other is Emperor Khan!
This is too much... That's a myth, something you only see in textbooks. Someone can move mountains and fill the sea with a wave of their hand, or even destroy the entire Blue Planet with a desperate, all-out attack...
This kind of person is his junior fellow apprentice?
It's so unreal...
On the side, Yu Cang smiled.
Their reaction...is normal.
After all, they are just two children who have just grown up.
"Gutu, don't underestimate yourself," Yu Cang said. "Mythology is just a realm on the Soul Card path. It's no different. Since you are my disciple, you will definitely break through the Mythology in the future. There is no doubt about it."
Gu Tu’s talent is actually nothing special, but Yu Cang is still confident in him.
The last time I saw him, he was just an average student with below average grades. But because of a promise I made, he could eventually become the top scholar in the ancient capital.
This must have taken a lot of sweat.
As long as you keep this ambition, you can achieve anything.
Yu Cang has the best resources and the most complete roads. With him around, even if Gu Tu does not have outstanding talent, there is a high probability that he will become a legend.
This is Yu Cang’s confidence, so Gu Tu must also be confident.
"I...Myth?" Gutu lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously tangled together.
"Of course." Yu Cang patted Gu Tu's shoulder.
He was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.
Hmm…he seems to be putting too much pressure on the child.
That’s right… I’ve seen too much and too profound things recently, so I no longer take myths seriously. But for a child, myths are an almost untouchable chasm.
Feng said that if you get in touch with insurmountable people too early, you will only be unable to find your own way.
Realizing this, Yu Cang quietly suppressed the arrogance that was rising in his heart.
...I've been feeling a bit carried away lately.
Thinking of this, he changed the subject and said, "By the way, your father, Gu Luo—how is he doing recently?"
"Eh?" Gutu was startled, then said, "Dad... is in good health. Before coming here, he told me to listen to you, teacher..."
His father's face and instructions appeared in his mind again.
At home, he didn't know how many times he had heard his father praise Yu Cang and his expectations of him...
Thinking of this, he bit his lip.
A myth?
Since the teacher said so, he should give it a try...
"Is that so?" Yu Cang smiled. "Then I'm relieved. Your father and I have a life-long friendship, hahahaha..."
After hearing Yu Cang's words, Gu Tu's originally nervous mood relaxed a little.
Someone like the teacher still remembers his father... How gentle.
He absolutely must not let down the expectations of such a person.
On the side, Kang Nan was not under any pressure at all.
She put her arm around Gutu's shoulders and quickly poked his face: "Hey, hey, hey, Gugu, didn't you say you would behave well before you came? Why are you so shy when we meet?!"
"I know..."
