Chapter 49 Apprenticeship
"The Iron Blade Gang congratulates Master Xue on gaining a beloved disciple!"

"Flying Eagle Fort congratulates Master Xue on his new disciple!"

A powerful male shout rang out outside the martial arts hall. The people who came to congratulate him consciously made way for them when they saw the people from the two major forces appear. They were extremely surprised.

Bai Yuan looked at the disciples of the Iron Knife Gang and the Flying Eagle Fort who were gathering on both sides, and was also surprised.

It seems that Senior Brother Chu Yuan did not receive such treatment back then.

Among the crowd, Han Tie, deputy leader of the Iron Knife Gang, stepped forward.

"This is Nephew Bai Xian?"

His eyes scanned Bai Yuan up and down like a poisonous snake, as if he wanted to see through Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that the deputy gang leader didn't come just to congratulate him.

His reputation is now gradually becoming known, and he has entered the vision of the top leaders in Qinghe County. His past experiences must have been clearly known to everyone.

Han Tie was very likely to become suspicious and associate him with the Tiger-Shaped Crane Style.

He used to be a hunter in Baisha Town, and the bearded man died on the mountain next to Baisha Town, which made it hard for Han Tie not to be suspicious.

Chu Yuan, who had been standing next to Bai Yuan, stepped forward and stopped Bai Yuan behind him.

"Deputy Gang Leader Han has come in person. It is an honor to have you here. Please come in."

He and Han Tie are both Yi Jin martial arts masters, so they are not afraid of each other at all.

Han Tie suddenly smiled.

"Nephew Chu, the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts School is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It has produced two monsters in one go. Congratulations."

"Deputy Gang Leader Han, you are so kind."

After saying that, Han Tie led a group of Iron Knife Gang disciples into the lobby.

In comparison, the old man in Feiying Castle is much gentler.

"Nephew Bai, I was asked by Lord Ji to come and congratulate you."

Bai Yuan smiled on the surface, but he was confused in his heart. He didn't seem to know the Lord of Castle Ji.

Although Chu Yuan also sent an invitation to Feiying Castle, it was still unexpected that the other party was willing to come.

Speaking of which, because of Zhu Huan, he might have some grudges with the Sixth Young Master of Feiying Fort.

However, everyone who came today was a guest, so he enthusiastically led everyone from Feiying Castle into the lobby.

The Zhongyi Hall was already packed with people.

The most powerful forces in Qinghe County gathered in one hall.

Old man Xue couldn't help but feel proud when watching this scene.

My disciples, Old Xue, are no weaker than anyone else!
This kind of display is no less impressive than that of the most outstanding disciples of the three major forces.

Flying Eagle Fort, Iron Knife Gang, County Government, except for the Liu family, all the major forces in the city have gathered. Such a scene has not been seen for ten years.

"Thank you all for coming here today."

Old man Xue stood up, clasped his fists and thanked everyone in the room. This is the etiquette of the martial arts world.

After that comes the apprenticeship phase.

In this world, warriors who become apprentices usually kowtow three times to show respect to Emperor Xuanyang. Only the current emperor and the illusory gods are worthy of the ceremony of nine kowtows.

Bai Yuan kowtowed meticulously, then took the hot tea from Chu Yuan and presented it to Old Man Xue.

Old man Xue took the teacup with satisfaction and took a sip.

"My good disciple, get up."

Hearing this, Bai Yuan stood up and stood respectfully beside Old Man Xue.

During the apprenticeship period, Deputy Leader Han of the Iron Knife Gang kept staring at Bai Yuan without disguising his feelings at all.

Old man Xue, who was sitting at the top, naturally saw all of this and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why does Han Tie care so much about his apprentice?

It seems that Bai Yuan has no connection with the Iron Knife Gang.

Although Old Man Xue had some doubts in his heart, he did not show them, but instead secretly observed Han Tie.

Fortunately, the Iron Knife Gang did not take any action until the end of the apprenticeship, so he felt relieved.

At the hour of You, this grand apprenticeship ceremony finally came to an end. After everyone left, only Old Man Xue and Bai Yuan were left in the Loyalty Hall.

Old man Xue looked at his last disciple.

"What is the grudge between you and the Iron Blade Gang?"

"I once killed someone."

After some thought, Bai Yuan finally decided to reveal some truth to Old Man Xue.

"kill?"

"The Iron Blade Gang once offered a bounty on a bearded man. I happened to run into him when I went hunting in the mountains. He was seriously injured at the time and was shot dead by my disciple with an arrow."

Old man Xue looked thoughtful.

He had some impression of the bounty. Two years ago, the Iron Knife Gang, Flying Eagle Fort and the Liu Family suddenly joined forces to hunt down a martial artist, who was said to be related to the Shenfu Sect.

Although Old Man Xue was once a powerful martial artist, he eventually fell from that level and therefore did not know the truth.

He didn't expect that the person who was being hunted down by the three major forces would die at the hands of his own disciple.

"okay, I get it."

Old Man Xue did not continue to ask.

No matter what the reason why Bai Yuan was targeted by the Iron Knife Gang, he would do his best to protect Bai Yuan. Knowing this was enough.

Bai Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Old Man Xue did not continue asking questions.

Old Man Xue was very nice to him, and he really didn't want to deceive him.

However, the Tiger-Shaped Crane Style is related to the Shenfu Sect. If Old Man Xue is told about this, the entire Tiger Mighty Martial Arts School will probably be implicated.

Once targeted by the strong men of Shenfu Sect, not to mention the Huwei Martial Arts School, even the Iron Knife Gang would be destroyed.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to retreat, he was stopped by Old Man Xue.

"Someone will come from the Divine Mansion Sect in a while. If it follows the practice of previous years, Qinghe County should have eleven places."

"I have two nominations, you are one of them, and Chu Yuan is one of them. As for whether you can be valued by the envoy of the Divine Mansion Sect, it depends on your luck."

Old man Xue said this seriously.

Bai Yuan nodded heavily. There was no need to be humble in this matter.

Even though he had activated a cheat, he still felt quite pressured when he heard that he was going to compete with a well-known Yi Jin martial artist like Chu Yuan.

"Master, I will do my best."

"Just try your best, don't force it."

Old man Xue waved his hand tiredly.

He has run a martial arts school in Qinghe County for forty years, and during this period he has witnessed the Shenfu Sect recruiting disciples too many times.

The Shenfu Sect is extremely capricious in accepting disciples, and it seems that they do not act according to common sense. Not everyone with high talent will be accepted as a disciple. There was even one time when a disciple became a member of the Shenfu Sect simply because the messenger thought that the disciple looked pleasing to the eye.

It makes no sense.

Old Man Xue hopes that his two disciples can enter the Divine Mansion Gate.

But it doesn’t matter if I can’t go, the inheritance of the Black Evil lineage is not necessarily weaker.

Bai Yuan walked out of the Huweiwu Hall and went straight out of the city towards Baisha Town.

When he returned to the town, there were not many houses still lighting candles.

When he pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, the lights in the east wing were still on. Xiao Qiaoniang's silhouette was reflected on the window paper, swaying with the flames.

Xiao Qiaoniang heard the noise at the door and walked out of the room.

"Brother Yuan, you're back."

"Ah."

Bai Yuan nodded.

He sat at the head of the bed and talked with Xiao Qiaoniang for a while, then blew out the candle.

Soon, cries for mercy were heard from the east wing.

However, this time there was no one eavesdropping in the corner, as the people from the Zhu family had quietly withdrawn at some point.
