Flying Clouds in Another World

Chapter 53: Recruiting Lu Renzhi

Lu Renzhi felt that he had been having a bad time recently.

He grew up in a poor family. At the age of seven, he became an apprentice to a common doctor. When he was nine, he accidentally met a seriously injured martial artist from the Miyun Sect who was practicing medicine. He used his shallow medical skills to treat the martial artist, but of course he failed to cure him. Before he died, the martial artist accepted him as a registered disciple, taught him a set of Miyun Sect's intermediate cultivation techniques, and passed on all his life savings to him.

Since then, Lu Renzhi's luck has turned. With the skills and crystals left by the martial artist, and his outstanding martial arts talent, he was able to reach the great perfection of a martial artist in just seven or eight years, and he also made some progress in medicine. However, although his cultivation was not low among his peers, the martial arts he learned were very superficial and his combat power was not very high, so he was easily defeated by Liu Shihu during the trial.

He originally did not want to go against Liu Feiyun, but he was unlucky enough to be met by Xu Weiying before the inner sect trial, and then he was coerced and bribed by Xu Weiying to take action against Liu Feiyun. In the end, the task was not accomplished, and he was injured by Liu Shihu. Then, everyone in the same group pushed the responsibility of the failure on him. Xu Weiying was also a person who would destroy the bridge after crossing the river. Not only did he not keep the previously agreed reward, but he also asked him to pay a thousand taels of gold.

A thousand taels of gold, that was the total income of a middle-class family in a year, how could he afford it? Fortunately, he was later spotted by the Medicine Fragrance Valley and became an outer disciple. As long as he hid in the Medicine Fragrance Valley from now on, Xu Weiying would not dare to arrest him.

But why did I meet Liu Feiyun again today?

In the past few days, he had learned some basic information about Liu Feiyun through various inquiries, and also understood that what Liu Feiyun had deceived him into swallowing that day was not a deadly poison. However, Liu Feiyun was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

Now he asked everyone to retreat, but left himself alone. He didn't know how Liu Feiyun would deal with him in a while.

Liu Feiyun looked at Lu Renzhi and said to Zheng Tingting who was still confused: "This Senior Brother Lu Renzhi and I had some old grudges, but after my persuasion, he has agreed to join my team and become my follower."

"Old grudges! Followers! I don't understand the relationship between you two! Liu Feiyun, just tell me what you want."

"Okay! My request is very simple, Junior Sister. Now that Lu Renzhi has become my follower, I will naturally take good care of him and train him. Now he is just an outer disciple. I hope you can take him with you and treat him as a personal disciple. In the future, I will find an opportunity to turn him into an inner disciple or even a personal disciple. I don't know if you can do what I ask."

"The treatment of an inner disciple! That's easy! As for the last two requests, it's not impossible to do it, but I can't agree to it this time. Wait until you beat me in the next competition!"

"Okay! Junior sister is really a straightforward person. Let's make an appointment to compete again in three months."

Zheng Tingting left with satisfaction, leaving Lu Renzhi looking at Liu Feiyun with a complicated expression.

Liu Feiyun was the first to speak: "Lu Renzhi, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon! You haven't come to see me these past few days, so you must have realized that the so-called poison was fake!"

Lu Renzhi sighed and said, "Yes!"

"It seems that you don't think highly of me!"

"That was true before!"

"What now?"

"Haha! I didn't expect that you have such a deep network of contacts in Yaoxiang Valley. And judging from your medical skills, I guess you have received a lot of guidance from the head of our medical sect!"

"Not bad!"

"But you clearly know that I will not easily surrender to you and join your army, so why are you still helping me?"

"I really want to take you in as my younger brother! In fact, you are very lucky. You are the first younger brother from outside the family that I am willing to take in! I really admire your calmness and meticulousness. How about it, have you changed your mind now?"

Lu Renzhi was silent again. Liu Feiyun felt that he was going to fail again. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Do I have to learn from Liu Bei's three visits to his thatched cottage to recruit a younger brother? No matter how powerful Lu Renzhi is, he can't compare to the lord Kong Ming! And he is not Liu Bei.

Liu Feiyun sighed and was about to leave. He walked towards Hua Xixiu who was waiting for him in the distance and said, "Forget it! It's up to you! Whether you agree or not, I will fulfill what I asked Junior Sister Zheng to do for you! Take care of yourself!"

Liu Feiyun had just taken a few steps when he heard Lu Renzhi ask from behind: "I wonder how I, Lu Renzhi, am regarded by Master Liu. If you recognize me as your master, what do you think of me?"

Liu Feiyun's heart moved, and he stopped, but he did not turn around, and said lightly: "Your talent is enough for me when I was young. If you recognize me as your master, I will regard you as my loyal servant in my youth."

"Loyal servant! That's enough! Haha! Hahahaha! So I am just like this in your heart... In this case, I, the loyal servant Lu Renzhi, pay my respects to my master!" As Lu Renzhi was speaking, he suddenly prostrated himself on the ground and paid homage to Liu Feiyun, performing the ceremony of recognizing his master. He did this without seeming to care about the strange looks from the people around him.

Liu Feiyun quickly turned around and helped Lu Renzhi up, saying with a smile: "Good! Good! Good! You, Lu Renzhi, are the first loyal servant I, Liu Feiyun, have accepted."

"Master! I wonder what I'm going to do next? Should I deal with the Xu brothers?"

Liu Feiyun shook his head: "No need. Your most important task now is to cultivate your essence and practice martial arts to improve your strength. With the care of the Zheng master and his grandson, you shouldn't have any big trouble in Yaoxiang Valley. Just practice with peace of mind. If I encounter any trouble, I will come to find you."

"It's the master!"

"Don't call me Master. I don't like this title. You can just call me Young Master from now on!"

"Yes! Son!"

Seeing Liu Feiyun's figure gradually disappearing in the distance, Lu Renzhi slowly made up his mind: from what he had seen and heard about this young man in the past few days, it was clear that he was not someone who was willing to be inferior to others, and his mind was much more mature than his peers. He was not a waste in the eyes of many people. If one day he could break the shackles of short life and soar into the sky, then as his earliest follower, as long as he was still alive, he would also rise to prominence and bring honor to his family.

This time, Lu Renzhi took the gamble!

Liu Feiyun and the other person had just returned to Wuyin Peak when they saw Liu Shihu had been waiting there for a long time.

Liu Feiyun: "Tiger Shi! Why are you here?"
