As he stepped into the yard, he didn't have time to shake off the snow on his body.
Then I saw a stove had been set up in the yard.
A pot of fine wine was boiling on the stove. The boiling wine gave off a rich aroma that lingered in the courtyard.
By the fireplace, Feng An was greeting the two guests with a smile.
Shangguan Yuzhou with a long sword on his back and Shui Zhusheng with a gentle smile on his face.
The three of them sat around the fireplace, clinking glasses and enjoying the snacks.
The skylark also came back. This cheap bird probably didn't find anything delicious to eat outside, so it lay beside the stove, pecking at the peanuts that Feng An had put in the bowl for it, eating them with great relish.
As Kong Ju just stepped into the courtyard, the three people saw him.
Shangguan Yuzhou was the first to invite him over to drink.
"Come here quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Shangguan Yuzhou said as he laughed and handed Kong Ju a bowl of hot wine.
Kong Ju had been craving for wine for a long time, so he happily took the wine bowl, took the scalding hot liquor and poured it down his throat. The warm current still flowed through his stomach, and he felt so comfortable that his face turned slightly red.
I couldn't help but sigh: "It's freezing cold, but with a pot of hot wine and some snacks, life would be so comfortable."
"Junior brother Kong has never missed a day of his training. He even went out to practice archery in such a cold weather." Shui Zhusheng had obviously heard about Kong Ju's training from Feng An. Looking at the white snow still clinging to the latter's hair, he looked ashamed and said, "No wonder you have made such rapid progress in your training. I am ashamed of myself."
Kong Ju politely shook his head and responded, "Brother Shui, you are the most talented disciple in the last batch. Everyone in Wudong knows about Bi Bo Shui Shan Shui Zhu Sheng, who is ranked 42nd on the Hidden Dragon List."
"My fame is far inferior to that of Junior Brother Kong of Shenglongji." Shui Zhusheng smiled implicitly.
Feng An just smiled and said nothing.
Carefully add peanuts to Deng Yunque's bowl.
Feng An was specifically told by the sect to take good care of this little ancestor.
Those present now, whether Shui Zhusheng or Kong Ju, have already been designated as inner disciples.
All that’s left is the initiation ceremony.
Even Shangguan Yuzhou, after Kong Ju gave him a small realm-breaking pill a month ago, now has the strength of the ninth level of Yanglun and has reached the standard for entering the inner gate.
These three are almost the three most outstanding disciples of Cangwu Sect in modern times, and now they are gathered together.
The four of them toasted each other for a long time.
By the time they had eaten and drunk their fill, even Skylark's belly was full.
Shui Zhusheng just stated his purpose of coming.
"According to the time, tomorrow is the day of the inner sect initiation ceremony."
"According to the sect's rules, disciples who enter the inner sect are eligible to worship a Shenglun elder as their master."
"I wonder if the two junior brothers have made up their minds yet?"
Kong Ju glanced at Shui Zhusheng. The latter had been patient for so long before stating his purpose. He was really a patient man.
However, he naturally couldn't tell Huangfu Ying that he wanted to become his disciple at this time, so he threw a peanut in his mouth, pretending that he hadn't made any plans yet, and said casually, "I haven't thought about it so much."
Shangguan Yuzhou smiled, and for once didn't say anything, just drinking by himself.
Kong Ju had heard from Feng An a long time ago that Shangguan Yuzhou had been called to the inner sect by Dongxian several times to be taught swordsmanship, and it was likely that he wanted to become Dongxian's disciple.
Kong Ju was not surprised by this. Given Shangguan Yuzhou's talent in swordsmanship, it was hard for Dong Xian not to be tempted.
Shui Zhusheng had naturally heard of this.
Therefore, he did not ask Shangguan Yuzhou any more questions. Instead, he looked straight at Kong Ju and said sincerely, "There is an elder in the inner sect who is very good at halberd techniques. After hearing about Junior Brother Kong Ju's deeds, he admired you very much."
Shui Zhusheng opened his mouth.
Kong Ju, Shangguan Yuzhou and Feng An who were present at the scene were all smart people and understood what he meant immediately.
"Are you here to help the elders in the inner sect snatch disciples?"
"Junior brother Kong Ju is becoming more and more famous, especially after he killed Lu Wenji. There must be many elders in the sect who are interested in him." Feng An thought so and secretly glanced at Kong Ju.
But in the current situation, it was not his place to interrupt, so he wisely remained silent.
However, Shangguan Yuzhou was quite concerned about Kong Ju's apprenticeship.
Hearing that it was Shenglun who was good at using the halberd, he could just give Kong Ju some pointers, so he asked carefully, "Do you know the name of that elder?"
"To be honest with you fellow apprentices, that elder is none other than my Shui family's grandfather, Shui Jingyi."
There are many second-generation immortals like Zhou Tingyu in the Cangwu sect.
Being able to give birth to a child as talented as Shui Zhusheng, it is no surprise that the elders in his family have the chakra.
If Kong Ju hadn't been hinted by Shi Jinchi before.
Elder Shui Jingyi from the Shui family is a good choice. After all, he can give me some guidance on halberd techniques.
As for now, I can only decline.
But since Shui Zhusheng came to the house, he must have received instructions from the elders in the family.
In other words, Kong Ju was almost the disciple that Shui Jingyi specifically requested.
If I just refuse like that, it would seem like I am being ungrateful.
"It's really a troublesome matter!" Kong Ju was having a headache and didn't know how to start.
A clear voice suddenly sounded from the courtyard.
"Tell Elder Shui that Kong Ju has already been chosen."
There is no one else in the Cangwu Sect who can match the girl's outstanding temperament and appearance.
Everyone present stood up at the same time to greet the girl, and politely said, "Junior Sister Huangfu!"
Only Kong Ju seemed particularly different. After a moment of silence, he called out dryly, "Senior Sister Huangfu."
To be honest, when they were just the two of them, there was nothing wrong with Kong Ju calling Huangfu Wuqin "senior sister".
Now that all those present were his good friends and old acquaintances, calling her "senior sister" in front of so many people, even someone as shameless as Kong Ju would feel a little embarrassed.
Of course, the people present did not pay much attention to the name Kong Ju.
Instead, it was Huangfu Wuqin's words when she entered the venue that made Shui Zhusheng look a little surprised, and he immediately asked, "Which elder is this?"
In Shui Zhusheng's opinion, becoming a disciple of his Shui family grandfather is a win-win situation for both Kong Ju and their Shui family.
As long as the elder is not too troublesome, the Shui family will fight for Kong Ju.
"Which elder?" Huangfu Wuqin tilted his head and thought for a while, then pointed at his own delicate nose and smiled.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Didn't you hear him call me Senior Sister?"
There was a brief silence at the scene.
"Suck!" Everyone present, whether it was Shui Zhusheng, Feng An, or Shangguan Yuzhou, took a deep breath at the same time because of Huangfu Wuqin's answer.
Huangfu Ying has been the head of the sect for nearly twenty years, and has shown little intention of accepting any disciples.
Is this the year we finally can’t hold on any longer?
Being the chief disciple of the master, this position is of great importance and has different meanings.
For a moment, Shui Zhusheng's eyes flickered and he thought a lot.
However, since the master wanted to accept a disciple, Shui Zhusheng didn't dare to say more.
After all, whether from the perspective of sect rules or power, Huangfu Ying, who has no disciple yet, does have the right of first choice.
These words came from the mouth of Huangfu Ying's daughter, so they could not be false.
Shui Zhusheng had to leave with regret.
Kong Ju was left with a helpless look on his face, looking at Shui Zhusheng who disappeared in the wind and snow, and muttered: "It seems I have offended someone."
"What did you offend?" Huangfu Wuqin was not polite. She sat down in front of Shui Zhusheng with her hands behind her back and said nonchalantly, "There are so many people in the inner sect who want you. You have to make a choice."
Shangguan Yuzhou and Feng An did not find Huangfu Wuqin's words exaggerated at all.
After all, the qualifications shown by Kong Ju are indeed convincing.
At this point, Kong Ju had no other choice but to say angrily, "Senior Sister Huangfu is right."
Huangfu Wuqin's attention was easily attracted by Deng Yunque lying next to the stove. She ignored Kong Jue and picked up Deng Yunque from the snow with a smile, muttering, "Oh, Dapeng, why are you fat again!"
Deng Yunque trembled in Huangfu Wuqin's hand, no longer having the arrogance it usually had when it robbed many disciples.
All I could hear was Huangfu Wuqin repeating the word "Dapeng".
Deng Yunque's dark eyes were filled with grief and indignation, and he looked at his master Kong Ju for help.
Ever since it was severely beaten by Kong Ju, Deng Yunlark is extremely afraid of Kong Ju. Now it actually goes to Kong Ju for help. One can imagine how much it resists this name.
Kong Ju had no choice but to cough twice and explained with a wry smile, "Ahem, Senior Sister Huangfu, didn't the Sect Master already give me a name? It's Bai Yan."
Huangfu Wuqin glanced at Kong Jue, and his voice suddenly became a little unfriendly: "Oh, really?"
Shangguan Yuzhou and Feng An were the first to notice that the atmosphere was wrong. They quickly looked away and drank their wine as if they didn't hear the two people talking.
Kong Ju was definitely not someone who would suffer a loss in the face of danger. He immediately changed his tone and added seriously, "But the name Dapeng is also very nice. Senior Sister Huangfu likes to call it Dapeng, so let's call it Dapeng."
"Gu!" Deng Yunlark made a strong protest.
At the same time, the look he gave Kong Ju had turned into contempt.
Unfortunately, it was simply ignored by its owner.
Huangfu Wuqin smiled again, patted Dapeng's head and said, "I'll take Dapeng away first."
"The inner sect's ancestral worship ceremony will begin at noon tomorrow. You two must come to the inner sect before 9:00 tomorrow."
"Yes!" Kong Ju and Shangguan Yuzhou responded quickly.
The next moment, Huangfu Wuqin had turned into a long rainbow of thunder and disappeared into the sky with Deng Yunque.
"Congratulations to you two in advance." Feng An happily bowed to Kong Ju and Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yuzhou returned the greeting and said carefully: "Brother Feng, you have good talent, but you must work hard as soon as possible. Brother Kong Ju and I will be waiting for you in the inner gate."
Feng An had been stuck at the peak of the Seventh Realm for half a year. After hearing Shangguan Yuzhou's words, he just smiled bitterly and did not respond.
He has missed the best age for cultivation.
Now every breakthrough is difficult.
"Alas!" Kong Ju could only sigh upon seeing this.
After all, cultivation is one's own business, and he can't help Feng An much.
Even if I gave him the realm-breaking pill now, he would only be at the eighth level of Yang Lun.
It would be better to wait until he reaches the eighth realm, and then give him a small realm-breaking pill, so that there will be a slight possibility of his advancement.
Change the update time. Change the morning update to 11 o'clock. 10 o'clock is a bit too urgent. (End of this chapter)
