Chapter 17: Grandmaster Uncle
Chapter 17: Grandmaster Uncle
No one present expected that Qian Jin would suddenly step forward to snatch his apprentice at this moment.
The key point is that the opponent is Zhou Botong's personal disciple, and just recently, he had defeated a powerful enemy and relieved the crisis of Quanzhen Sect.
Refusing the other party's request would be unreasonable both morally and logically.
But if you don't refuse.
Yang Guo has just become Zhao Zhijing's disciple.
Qiu Chuji had even just instructed Yang Guo that Zhao Zhijing would always be Yang Guo's master, and that if Yang Guo were to take on a second master, he would have to get Zhao Zhijing's consent.
This is a slap in the face!
Therefore, everyone was at a loss for what to do, and the atmosphere in the room began to become subtle.
No one wanted to be the first to speak.
Lu Qingdu was plotting in his heart how he would take revenge on Yang Guo after Yang Guo became his junior brother!
Then, out of nowhere, a young man suddenly appeared, trying to steal his master's disciple.
Who has such audacity!
Upon closer inspection, Lu Qingdu was immediately taken aback.
He found the boy who suddenly appeared to look familiar, but when had he seen him before?
Upon closer reflection, he actually remembered it.
It's been about three years; he had met the other person once before.
He remembered that the other person's name was Qian Jin. He had been chasing after him, asking all sorts of questions, and even had the delusion that he wanted to join their Quanzhen Sect.
However, he rejected it outright.
Unexpectedly, three years have passed, and this kid has learned some skills, so he actually dares to cause trouble in their Quanzhen Sect.
Seeing that all the elders of his sect remained silent with sullen faces, Lu Qingdu assumed that they were too proud to lower themselves to the level of a junior in the martial arts world.
After all, whether it's the master or the grandmaster, they are all senior masters. It would be beneath their dignity to lower themselves to the level of a mere junior.
So now is the time for him to stand up and defend the image of the Quanzhen Sect.
So he immediately came out from behind and said:
"Kid, what do you think this place is, daring to come here and cause trouble?"
Just because your grandmasters don't hold it against you doesn't mean you can act recklessly.
To tell you the truth, Yang Guo has already performed the formal apprenticeship ceremony for my master, so he will always be my master's disciple and also my junior brother.
Whether he likes it or not, this is an unchangeable fact.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin smiled faintly and said:
"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. I think as long as Zhao Zhijing is willing to give Yang Guo to me, it shouldn't be a problem whether or not the apprenticeship ceremony has been performed!"
"Besides, I want to take Yang Guo as my disciple, and my senior brothers haven't even spoken yet. It's not your place, a junior, to object!"
Junior?
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingdu was immediately enraged and was about to rebuke the other party again when he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes and a pain in his stomach. He had already been kicked to the ground by Wang Chuyi.
"Grandmaster! What did I do wrong?"
Lu Qingdu looked aggrieved.
Seeing this, Wang Chuyi couldn't help but shout:
"You scoundrel, how dare you disrespect your Grandmaster Qian! Quickly apologize to your Grandmaster Qian!"
Qian...Grandmaster Uncle?
Lu Qingdu was completely dumbfounded!
Three years ago, this kid had the audacity to try to become a disciple of the Quanzhen School, but he was rejected. How come he's suddenly become his grandmaster uncle?
Is this reasonable?
Seeing that even after he had explained himself so clearly, Lu Qingdu was still standing there dumbfounded, Wang Chuyi became even angrier and couldn't help but kick him again, angrily saying:
"What are you still standing there for? Do you expect me to apologize on your behalf?"
Seeing Wang Chuyi's anger, Lu Qingdu dared not hesitate any longer and quickly crawled to Qian Jin's side, kowtowing and saying:
"Disciple Lu Qingdu was blind to the great man and offended Grandmaster Qian... I hope that Grandmaster Qian will forgive me for my petty mistake."
Upon hearing this, Qian Jin said:
"It's alright, it's alright. You almost lost your life in the fire just now, and you only had hatred for Yang Guo in your eyes. You didn't notice me, so I can't blame you."
However, from now on, you should cultivate your mind and character, and not be easily swayed by resentment.
Upon hearing Qian Jin's words, Lu Qingdu suddenly remembered that when he was rescued by Uncle Yin, there seemed to be a young swordsman around him.
At that time, he was filled with hatred for Yang Guo and did not even notice that the young swordsman was Qian Jin.
So he quickly kowtowed again and said:
"This disciple will respectfully follow the teachings of my grandmaster."
Seeing Lu Qingdu retreat cautiously to the side, Zhao Zhijing secretly wiped away a cold sweat.
If Lu Qingdu hadn't suddenly stood up, he would probably have been the one in trouble.
Because when he came up, Qian Jin had already left.
So he had no idea that the boy who suddenly ran over to snatch his disciple was actually the junior uncle who had single-handedly defeated many powerful enemies.
Junior brother Yin Zhiping had told him that this junior uncle was a direct disciple of Grandmaster Zhou, and his martial arts skills even surpassed those of his master and other junior uncles.
He's definitely a formidable figure he can't afford to mess with.
So, should we take this opportunity to do this junior uncle a favor and give Yang Guo to him?
Although this would make Yang Guo his junior brother and he would lose some face, it was nothing compared to the favor he owed this junior uncle.
Even his future struggle for the position of sect leader could be greatly influenced by the words of this junior uncle.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhijing quickly stepped forward and said:
"Disciple Zhao Zhijing greets Uncle Qian."
Although Yang Guo has just performed the apprenticeship ceremony for me, I haven't formally taught him martial arts yet, so in a sense, I'm not his master yet.
"The fact that he has been chosen by Master Qian and is willing to take him as a disciple is a blessing he has accumulated over eight lifetimes."
Seeing that Zhao Zhijing was so cooperative, Qian Jin was secretly pleased. Then he looked at Ma Yu and the others and said:
"Fellow disciples, since Zhao Zhijing has no objections, you shouldn't object to me accepting Yang Guo as my disciple, right?"
Upon hearing this, although everyone felt that Yang Guo's decision to become Qian Jin's disciple would disrupt the proper order of seniority, they still nodded in agreement.
Qiu Chuji, in particular, had the most complex feelings.
As the son of his disciple Yang Kang, Yang Guo was the one who most hoped that Yang Kang would achieve great things in the future.
This junior brother Qian is extremely skilled in martial arts, and if he could properly teach Yang Guo, it would undoubtedly be the best choice for Yang Guo.
So he immediately beckoned Yang Guo over and said:
"Guo'er, my junior brother Qian's martial arts are no less than mine. Now that he is willing to take you as his disciple, it is your honor."
From now on, you will be his disciple. You must listen carefully to his teachings and not be negligent in the slightest. Do you understand?
Yang Guo was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He had personally witnessed Qian Jin defeat numerous powerful enemies single-handedly.
Therefore, in his mind, Qian Jin's martial arts skills were not only no less than Qiu Chuji's, but far superior to all the old Taoist priests here.
So he immediately knelt down in front of Qian Jin with a thud and said loudly:
"This humble one, Yang Guo, greets my master."
