Chapter 12: Recruiting a Disciple



After teaching those thugs a lesson, Feng Shao left the tavern.

After asking passers-by, Feng Shao walked in one direction. Not long after, Feng Shao walked into a dirty and messy alley, surrounded by dilapidated thatched houses. Following the instructions of passers-by, Feng Shao came to one of the most dilapidated thatched houses and opened the door. The next moment, he felt a strong musty smell coming towards him.

He frowned slightly, and then began to carefully explore the thatched hut. After a while, he saw a small figure lying on the bed covered with a quilt.

He walked forward and saw that the small figure was a little boy who looked no more than eight or nine years old. The boy's face was red and his whole body was shaking. Even without touching him, Feng Shao could feel the heat radiating from the boy.

Is this... a fever?

Feng Shao put his hand on the boy's forehead and felt it was burning hot. He knew very well that if the boy didn't seek medical treatment, he would not live long.

Thinking of this, Feng Shao took out a pill and fed it to the little boy, and then infused his Qi into his body to help him digest the pill. With Feng Shao's help, the boy's body temperature gradually decreased, his breathing became smoother, and his originally red face gradually became normal. Feng Shao picked up the little boy and walked towards Linglong Pavilion.

After arriving at Linglong Pavilion, the shopkeeper came up to Feng Shao and said, "Sir, the little girl has been treated by the doctor and her injuries have been healed. There shouldn't be any root cause of the disease left."

Feng Shao nodded: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, you are kind-hearted, and it is a blessing for Yunjian Pavilion. It is just a trivial matter, so you don't have to worry about it."

The shopkeeper took another look at the little boy Feng Shao was holding and asked curiously, "Who is this child..."

"This is the little girl's younger brother, he has a high fever. I just fed him some medicine, and now his condition has improved. But I'm afraid he needs to rest for a few days before he can fully recover." Feng Shao said.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper said, "In that case, then please hand the child over to me!"

Feng Shao did not refuse, and handed the little boy to the shopkeeper, saying, "Then I'll trouble you, shopkeeper."

"You're welcome, uncle."

Afterwards, the shopkeeper took Feng Shao into the inner hall and came to the room where the little girl was placed.

The shopkeeper put the little boy on another bed and covered him with a blanket. Feng Shao looked directly at the little girl who was still lying on the bed.

After the treatment, the little girl's condition has improved a lot. After a wash, she showed a delicate and tender face. At first glance, this child is a beauty, and she will definitely grow up to be a beauty.

But Feng Shao couldn't help but think more in his heart.

With such beauty and her poor background, this girl must have a profound background, right?

Thinking of this, Feng Shao summoned the Tianhua Jade Slip. Then, he saw the luck on the little girl's head that was almost purple.

Feng Shao: “…”

How come the child of luck has suddenly become so worthless? I can just run into one casually?

Looking at the little boy lying on the other side, he found that the boy's luck was relatively normal, the gray color of ordinary people, and the color was quite dark, almost the same as black.

Feng Shao immediately understood that this was because the little boy had just walked through the gates of hell, so his luck was so low. Before feeding him the elixir, his luck must have almost turned pure black, right?

I didn't expect that the fortunes of these two siblings would be so different.

Perhaps she felt Feng Shao's gaze, and the little girl opened her eyes dazedly. After seeing clearly that the person in front of her was Feng Shao, the little girl couldn't help but shed tears again: "My benefactor..."

Feng Shao patted her head gently and said softly: "Alright, alright, don't cry. I have already taught those who bullied you a lesson. They will never dare to bully you again!"

The little girl nodded, but she couldn't stop crying.

Feng Shao couldn't help but feel emotional. It's not surprising that the little girl would be like this. After all, for such a long time, the little girl has been struggling to survive with her brother. If there is anything missing at home, she can only find a way to get it by herself, and if she is bullied, she can only grit her teeth and endure it. At this time, seeing someone who treats her well, she suddenly feels that she has someone to rely on. With someone to rely on, the grievances in her heart can no longer be controlled.

After the little girl cried for a while, her mood recovered a little. Feng Shao was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "What's your name?"

The little girl replied in a low voice: "My dad calls me girl, and my brother is called Xiaobao... That's right, my brother!"

The little girl sat up quickly and said anxiously, "My benefactor, please save my brother! My brother is dying of illness! If he dies, I will not be able to live!"

Having said that, the little girl was about to kowtow to Feng Shao.

Feng Shao quickly stopped her and said softly, "Don't worry, I've brought your brother here too. He's in a stable condition now and will be fine after a few days of rest."

Looking in the direction Feng Shao pointed, the little girl immediately saw her brother lying on the other bed. Hearing her brother's gentle breathing and his face that had obviously returned to normal, the little girl heaved a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and looked at Feng Shao again: "My benefactor, you saved me and my brother. I am willing to be your maid for the rest of my life and serve you..."

Before she could finish her words, Feng Shao waved his hand and said, "I don't need a maid."

The little girl was anxious: "Then..."

But Feng Shao said calmly: "I am from Taiwei Sect. I went down the mountain to the city because I needed to purchase some things. It is fate that I met you this time. If you are willing, you can follow me up the mountain and join Taiwei Sect."

Before the little girl could react, the shopkeeper standing beside her said with a smile: "Little girl, why don't you thank Master Feng quickly? Master Feng is the Holy Son of Taiwei Sect, and his status in Taiwei Sect is second only to the Sect Master. If he wants to accept someone into the sect, no one in Taiwei Sect would dare to object!"

The little girl reacted and was about to kowtow to Feng Shao, but was stopped by Feng Shao: "I plan to introduce you to my Third Uncle, so that you will be my Junior Sister. You don't need to be like this to me, your Senior Brother..."

The little girl raised her head and shook her head eagerly, "No! I want to be your disciple! I hope you can help me!"

Feng Shao couldn't help but be stunned.

He was not surprised that the little girl wanted to be his disciple, but the moment the little girl asked to be his disciple, he felt that something seemed to have changed in his body.

He subconsciously checked his luck through the Tianhua Jade Slip and found that his luck had actually improved a lot because of the little girl's action!

Why is this? Could it be that if he accepted a girl of good fortune as his disciple, his own good fortune would also be affected?

But in Feng Shao's impression, after Ye Chen became Du Yuanxi's disciple, Du Yuanxi's fortune did not change. Why is that?

Feng Shao fell into deep thought for a moment.

Seeing this, the little girl thought that Feng Shao was unwilling to accept her as his disciple, so she kowtowed several times in a row. The noise was frightening to hear.

Feng Shao came back to his senses and quickly stopped her, saying sternly: "In my Taiwei Sect, no one of my generation has accepted a disciple. I think I am not good enough to accept a disciple and teach. If you can become a disciple of Third Uncle, I believe you can get better teachings. Even so, do you still want to accept me as your master?"

The little girl raised her head, looked directly into Feng Shao's eyes, and said seriously: "My benefactor is a good man! I am willing to be your disciple, even if it means death!"

Feng Shao hesitated for a moment and nodded: "In that case, I will accept you as a nominal disciple for the time being. After we return to the sect, we will perform the ceremony of becoming your disciple!"

The little girl was overjoyed: "Yes, Master!"

This little girl changed her mind pretty quickly!

The shopkeeper standing nearby couldn't help but laugh and said, "Congratulations, Master, for accepting your first disciple! This little girl looks pretty good, she should be a good candidate for cultivation!"

Feng Shao smiled bitterly: "With my ability, how can I be qualified to be a disciple? But since the fate has come, there is no need for me to refuse."

Practicing cultivation is not only about fighting against the heavens, but also about following the trend when the time is right. Since Feng Shao wanted to take this little girl in, and this little girl insisted on worshipping him as her master, then this was fate.

After getting Feng Shao's promise, the little girl was overjoyed. But then, she showed hesitation again: "Master, my brother..."

Feng Shao understood and said, "I consider the character of a person the most when I accept a disciple. I don't know what your brother's character is like at this moment, so I can't promise you anything. If his character is good, I can accept him as a disciple. But if his character is not good, then I can only raise him and let him be an ordinary person."

The little girl also knew that she couldn't ask for too much. She was already very satisfied that Feng Shao was willing to consider accepting her brother as his apprentice. If her brother had no chance of becoming an immortal, she could help him after becoming his disciple. With her sister as a supporter, her brother would surely have a good life in the future even if he couldn't practice.

Feng Shao took out a booklet and handed it to the little girl, saying, "This booklet contains some simple methods of practicing Qi. You can practice it first, or you can teach it to your brother. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask the shopkeeper. I will go back to the sect first, and I will pick you up next time I go down the mountain."

Feng Shao looked at the shopkeeper again and said, "Shopkeeper, please take care of them these days!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Master, you are too polite. Master is also half of Yunjian Pavilion, and since this little girl has become your disciple, she is naturally one of us."

Feng Shao nodded, and then said to the little girl: "Be good during this period of time and don't cause trouble, understand?"

The little girl nodded obediently: "Yes, Master!"

Feng Shao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.

I didn't expect that this trip down the mountain, I would unexpectedly accept a disciple. Life is really unpredictable!
