Chapter 43: Xuanyuan Becomes a Disciple
Chapter 43: Xuanyuan Becomes a Disciple
Although the gloom that flashed across Nangong Jing's face was quick, Xuanyuan Xingyao still noticed it.
Xuanyuan Xingyao frowned quickly and wanted to ask something, but seeing that their fight had attracted the attention of many people around them, Xuanyuan Xingyao swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Nangong Jing wasn't really a child, so he quickly calmed down. Looking at Xuanyuan Xingyao, he suddenly remembered Bing Linxuan, who looked like a playboy but had extraordinary strength.
He wanted to bring Xuanyuan Xingyao to introduce him to Bing Linxuan, but it seemed a bit too much to bring him alone. Nangong Jing was worried that Han Yan's friends would feel uncomfortable if he also brought Feng Xuanzhou and Nangong Mu.
How can I get rid of some troubles without leaving any trace? I pushed Xuanyuan Xingyao in front of Binglinxuan.
Perhaps it was the connection between master and disciple. Just when Nangong Jing was thinking about how to introduce Xuanyuan Xingyao to Bing Linxuan, Han Yan suddenly waved at Nangong Jing and motioned him to come over.
Nangong Jing saw several people from last night standing in front of Han Yan, as well as a few people he didn't recognize. He guessed that Han Yan wanted to introduce him to them, so he ran towards Han Yan.
It was just that when he ran, he subconsciously pulled Xuanyuan Xingyao along with him. Nangong Jing swore that he really did it subconsciously, because Xuanyuan Xingyao happened to be standing in front of him.
Nangong Jing's action not only made Nangong Mu and Feng Xuanzhou open their eyes wide in surprise, but also Xuanyuan Xingyao's pupils contracted quickly.
Nangong Jing ran up to Han Yan before realizing that he had brought Xuanyuan Xingyao with him. He was immediately embarrassed and smiled awkwardly at Han Yan.
"Little guy, is this your good friend? You can't bear to be separated from him for a moment." Sun Feier covered her mouth and "laughed".
Sun Feier's words made Nangong Jing feel even more embarrassed, and his delicate little face turned red. That look really made people want to "ravage" her.
"Alright Fei'er, stop teasing Jing'er. This is the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Shadow Empire, Xuanyuan Xingyao. Jing'er is his study partner. They are of similar age and get along pretty well. The Seventh Prince just happened to be standing in front of Jing'er, so it's normal for Jing'er to subconsciously pull him along when she came over."
Although Han Yan was somewhat amused by Nangong Jing's behavior, seeing that Nangong Jing was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into, his original desire to laugh at the joke softened instantly.
Although no one present had ever seen Xuanyuan Xingyao, everyone had heard of his name.
To them, Nangong Jing was just Han Yan's disciple. As for his other identities, they did not deliberately check, so they did not know Nangong Jing's status in the palace.
Bing Linxuan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard the name Xuanyuan Xingyao. He subconsciously looked at Xuanyuan Xingyao carefully from head to toe several times, then nodded slightly.
Bing Linxuan was different from Han Yan, who hadn't accepted any disciples for so many years. He had accepted disciples since he became the War King. So far, he had four disciples.
It’s just that these four disciples only make Bing Linxuan feel good, but Bing Linxuan feels that they are still a little short of being accepted as his personal disciples.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao's talent spread throughout the entire Longying Continent, Bing Linxuan had some thoughts on it.
Just because you have good talent doesn't mean you have a good character or are willing to work hard to cultivate. Therefore, Bing Linxuan only thought about it for a moment and then put it behind him.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's cultivation level is transparent in the eyes of Bing Linxuan and others at this level.
Therefore, Bing Linxuan saw through Xuanyuan Xingyao's cultivation level at a glance. In less than two years, he went from a person with no cultivation to a mid-level warrior. Even if one has strong cultivation aptitude, one must work very hard to achieve this.
As for character, Bing Linxuan said that he was quite confident in his own vision.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao's eyes were indifferent, they revealed a clarity, and it was obvious that he was not the kind of person with deep thoughts.
Han Yan, Sun Feier and others have been friends with Bing Linxuan for many years. When they saw him staring at Xuanyuan Xingyao, they understood everything.
They all knew about Xuanyuan Xingyao's talent and qualifications. It would be a good idea if Bing Linxuan really accepted him.
Han Yan even had his own selfish motive: it was because of Nangong Jing that Xuanyuan Xingyao had the opportunity to meet Bing Linxuan and even be accepted as his disciple. This meant that Xuanyuan Xingyao, and even the royal family, owed Nangong Jing a favor.
If Nangong Jing really encounters any trouble in the future, the emperor will definitely not sit idly by.
Although Han Yan was very confident in his own status and abilities, he only felt bad for his beloved apprentice because he didn't have enough trump cards to protect himself.
Xuanyuan Xingyao is a very perceptive person, and Bing Linxuan's eyes are so straightforward, so naturally he would not fail to notice it.
Xuanyuan Xingyao subconsciously frowned. He didn't like being looked at so bluntly. However, the person in front of him was not someone he could compete with, so Xuanyuan Xingyao could only endure it.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao had tried hard to hold back, there was no way he could hide his little actions from the people present.
Bing Linxuan chuckled and said, "The little guy has quite a temper. What should I do if I like him even more?" As he spoke, he touched his chin. A sense of vulgarity suddenly appeared on his originally handsome face.
Qin Zong couldn't hold it in any longer and hit Bing Linxuan on the back of his head. He said unhappily, "Can you be a little more normal? Be careful not to scare the little guy."
Not to mention that Xuanyuan Xingyao is still young now, even if he grows up, he is still a little guy to these old monsters who are at least five or six hundred years old.
"Even this little fellow would be frightened, but it's possible that he would dislike him." It must be said that although Bing Linxuan had just met Xuanyuan Xingyao for the first time, he had seen through most of Xuanyuan Xingyao's character.
Han Yan simply couldn't bear to look at Bing Linxuan and ignored him.
Bing Linxuan knew whether or not to accept a disciple, so he didn't need to say anything. Han Yan pulled Nangong Jing to his side, then pointed at the people around him and introduced them one by one.
Nangong Jing was also very well-behaved. Whenever Han Yan introduced someone to him, he would obediently call him uncle or uncle, and then he would get a precious gift.
The gifts he received during this apprenticeship ceremony alone multiplied Nangong Jing's wealth several times over. He no longer had to worry about cultivation resources for the next few years.
Although he didn't have to worry about his future cultivation resources with Han Yan around, but no one would complain about having too little of a good thing like resources, right?
"Little guy, I see that you are an ice warrior like me. How about being my apprentice?" After Han Yan introduced everyone to Nangong Jing, Bing Linxuan finally "made a move" on Xuanyuan Xingyao.
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao is a little arrogant, he is not stupid and is even very smart.
After discovering Xuanyuan Xingyao's qualifications, the Emperor hoped to find him a master. Unfortunately, Xuanyuan Xingyao's attributes were too special, and there were no suitable candidates among the imperial palace attendants, nor even those in the Imperial Capital Academy, so there was no choice but to delay the search.
Now that there is an ice warrior master with the same attributes and great strength who is willing to accept him as a disciple, Xuanyuan Xingyao will naturally not refuse.
But Xuanyuan Xingyao is still a child after all, so such matters should naturally be decided by the elders.
"I am naturally very honored that Master is willing to accept me as his disciple. However, for such a big matter as becoming his disciple, I still need to get my father's consent." Xuanyuan Xingyao replied calmly.
In the Dragon Shadow Continent, as long as one's cultivation level is at the level of Advanced Magician, War Master, and Summoner or above, they will be respected as Masters, which is also a respectful title for the strong.
After hearing Xuanyuan Xingyao's answer, Bing Linxuan's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He was able to advance and retreat, and he expressed his intentions while also subtly expressing his desire for the elders' approval. He didn't let Bing Linxuan feel rejected or embarrassed. He was obviously smart.
Although Bing Linxuan values Xuanyuan Xingyao's qualifications the most, it would still be a headache if his emotional intelligence is not high.
This disciple has great talent and qualifications, high emotional intelligence, and is also very hardworking. Bing Linxuan feels that he likes this disciple more and more.
"We should indeed get the consent of our elders. I wonder where the emperor is now?" Bing Linxuan looked around for the whereabouts of the emperor.
Han Yan originally wanted to ask the palace servant to go to the emperor, but he was worried that the palace servant would not be able to explain clearly, so he said to Nangong Jing, "Jing'er, go find the emperor, tell him about this matter, and ask him to come over to discuss it."
"Yes, Master." Nangong Jing responded obediently.
The Emperor was currently greeting the Crown Prince and several other attendants who were teaching him the service. Nangong Jing spotted them immediately and trotted over.
"Your Majesty, several honored officials, I'm sorry to bother you. My master wants to discuss something with Your Majesty." After Nangong Jing ran in front of the emperor and the others, he did not speak immediately. Instead, he waited until the emperor stopped talking before speaking.
After hearing Nangong Jing's words, the emperor raised his brows slightly and asked in surprise and confusion, "What does Han Gongsheng want to talk to me about?"
"My master has a friend who is the Ice War Emperor. He wants to take the Seventh Prince as his apprentice. But the Seventh Prince said that he needs your consent, so my master asked me to come find you." Nangong Jing said quickly and concisely.
The emperor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the prince beside him also showed a surprised expression.
Xuanyuan Xingyao's master has always been a thorn in the emperor's side. Now there is an Ice War Emperor who is willing to accept Xuanyuan Xingyao as his apprentice. How can the emperor not be happy?
"Yao'er should have agreed to such a good thing directly. How could I blame him? Let's go quickly. We can't keep Emperor Zhan waiting for too long." The emperor said excitedly.
The emperor was very happy that Xuanyuan Xingyao could become the apprentice of the War Emperor, and Bing Linxuan also sincerely wanted to accept Xuanyuan Xingyao as his disciple.
Therefore, the two sides were very harmonious after meeting, and even subconsciously lowered their own airs, not wanting the other party to feel that they looked down on them.
The Emperor was eager for Xuanyuan Xingyao to become his disciple right then and there, so he naturally agreed to this matter. Therefore, after a few pleasantries, the two sides decided on this happy event.
However, Bing Linxuan, like Han Yan, had a distinguished status on the mainland. Naturally, it wouldn't be that easy for him to accept a disciple, not to mention that Xuanyuan Xingyao's status was not bad either.
If Bing Linxuan simply accepted him as his disciple, it would be an insult to him. Therefore, after discussion, Bing Linxuan decided to postpone the disciple-taking ceremony to ten days later.
In order to express his satisfaction with Xuanyuan Xingyao, Bing Linxuan specially decided to hold the disciple-accepting ceremony in the imperial palace, and it will be held in the worship square.
