Chapter 396 Accepting a Disciple

In the Shen Ce Palace, everyone was called back.

And for some reason, Yanqing also came back.

When Yan Qing came back and saw Yun Li still there, he was also surprised.

As soon as everyone came in, they heard the voices of Jing Yuan and Huai Yan.

"Earlier at Sichen Palace, I had already introduced the guests of the Starry Sky Train to Elder Yan, but there were so many people around at that time that we could only exchange some trivial greetings. Now, I will formally introduce these three to Elder Yan."

Jing Yuan said this and called Lin Yu, San Yueqi and Xing out.

"These three braved great risks and followed Jing Yuan in and out of death. They drove out the chief culprit Huanlong and uncovered the secret conspiracy of the Medicine King. If you want to know any details, you can ask me."

"I have read all the reports that Grand Bu Fu Xuan submitted to the Alliance regarding the whole process of Jianmu's rebirth. She was also summoned to Yuque for questioning. The Alliance is full of doubts about this matter."

"But I trust you."

"You have made remarkable achievements since you joined the army. After the Five Heroes of the Clouds retired, despite the many objections within the alliance, the Marshal still ignored them and entrusted Luofu to you."

"Over the years, you have devoted all your wisdom and loyalty to the Alliance, defeated the evil creatures of Talassa, lifted the siege of the Jade Palace Immortal Boat, and destroyed the evil star summoned by the people of abundance... I still remember everything that happened in the wars."

"Some termites doubt your loyalty and assume that you are stupid and foolish. They are happy to see General Shen Ce make mistakes because this is their nature. They have accomplished nothing themselves and only crave to see others fail as nourishment to survive."

"But I have witnessed too many failures. I prefer to believe that your loyalty has never changed."

"So, the only one sent by the alliance to investigate the whole story of the Jianmu disaster is General Feixiao from Yaoqing?" Liuying asked.

"Why, of course there's me too."

"The way this old man speaks is really...unexpected." San Yueqi laughed helplessly.

"The Marshal issued an order for me to go to Luofu Xianzhou, but the official document only contained a few words: "Watch the ceremony and martial arts performance, and listen to Feixiao's questions." "

"The Marshal's order? Do we need to avoid it?" Xing asked.

Huai Yan shook his head, "You are all witnesses, it's okay."

"In my opinion, the Marshal is well aware of Jing Yuan's intention in holding the ceremony, and is also aware of the situation he is facing. When she said this, it is obvious that she thinks both are equally important."

"Mr. Yan has a broad mind and I am deeply grateful to him. However, is it appropriate to speak out the order given by the Marshal in public?" Jing Yuan looked at everyone.

"You introduced the witness on the train to me alone, just to find out the purpose of Feixiao and I, and whether there is any conflict between us. I am sincere to others, so young people should not hide anything."

"As for the Jianmu disaster, all I had to do from beginning to end was to listen in. The one who really had to raise questions was General Feixiao. What I am more concerned about is whether the martial arts ceremony can be held safely as scheduled."

"Speaking of which, this time when I arrived in Luofu, I brought a gift for the martial arts ceremony."

"Yes, that is the box."

As he spoke, Huai Yan took out a box, which looked like a sword box. The packaging was very delicate and did not look like an ordinary item.

"During the martial arts ceremony, there are countless competitions and celebrations of all sizes, the most important of which is the "defending competition."

"The host wants to send highly skilled warriors to defend the arena and respond to challenges from all sides to demonstrate the martial virtue of the Immortal Boat. When I heard you mention that the Starry Sky Train would come to watch the ceremony, I thought the person defending the arena would be Luofu Dragon Lord..."

"Old Master Yan, you are joking. The Dragon Girl with Medicine in Her Mouth is still young and doesn't know anything about fighting. How can we let her defend the arena?"

"When it comes to joking, I'm still not as good as you."

"What is this box used for? Why doesn't General Huaiyan open it?" San Yueqi said curiously. She was very concerned about what was inside.

"This is the sword box I prepared as a prize for the martial arts ceremony. It is currently empty, but in a few days, a precious sword will arrive here and be stored inside."

"I am not bragging. This sword is the pinnacle of Zhu Ming Xian Zhou's craftsmanship. It has been wandering in a foreign land and has created many heroic deeds. It is so bizarre that it is difficult to describe it in one sentence. However, the delegation that brought the sword has not arrived yet, so I will put the sword box here first."

Huaiyan took a step forward and placed the sword box on Jingyuan's desk, without any other intention.

"I have been wondering...what kind of person is worthy of this sword? After thinking it over, I decided to give it away as a prize during this defense competition! The winner of the competition must be a hero, worthy of the sword."

"And I heard that Brother Yanqing is an excellent swordsman. He will defend the ring on behalf of Luofu. I think this gift is perfect."

"Mr. Yan, please accept my thanks for your kindness." Jing Yuan bowed his head slightly.

"Grandpa, if you want to give me the sword, just tell me directly. Why go through so much trouble?"

"Girl, you are confident, but I don't think you can beat Yan Qing."

"Yan Qing knows that Miss Yunli loves swords, but it's a pity that swords always choose masters that match them."

"Humph~ Even if some people get the sword, it will inevitably fall into the hands of others."

"The outcome of today's battle at the Dan Ding Division has not yet been decided. Since Miss Yunli is interested, why don't you represent Zhu Ming Xian Zhou and fight on stage?"

"That's exactly what I meant! It's still uncertain who the winner will be! Maybe it's me, maybe it's someone else, maybe it's still me, but... it may not be him!" Yun Li pointed at Yan Qing.

"It seems that what Feixiao said was right. If the two of them meet, they will either die or be injured..." Xing said.

"I don't want to be too rude...but after watching this series for so long, I really want to see who will win and who will lose between the two of them." San Yueqi looked at Yun Li and Yan Qing.

"Be quiet in front of the guests! I gave you my sword to add luster to the ceremony, not to hear you quarreling and hurting the friendship."

"Although both of you are confident that you will not lose to each other, fighting in the ring always involves one win and one loss, which is bound to hurt the relationship. I have an idea... Although the winner has not yet been announced and may not be you two, if you want to get the prize, I want you to work together to train an apprentice and have him perform at the martial arts ceremony and win at least one victory."

"How can this be possible?" Yun Li and Yan Qing shouted in unison.

"In my humble opinion, it is gratifying for the Cloud Riders to achieve victory, but it is more valuable to pass down their skills and allow them to flourish and benefit others."

"If this person can represent the train in the martial arts ceremony and show off his skills with the Cloud Rider swordsmanship, I will be very pleased!"

"Master Yan's idea is really interesting."

"Teaching skills to apprentices shows the spirit of cooperation. In this way, the winner will gain something, and the loser will not return empty-handed. But, who should they accept as their apprentice?"

As Jing Yuan's voice fell.

Everyone looked at San Yue Qi, because she was very concerned about the sword fight between the two just now.
