Chapter 1995 - 1995 1985 Meeting the Master

1995: Chapter 1985: Meeting the Master 1995: Chapter 1985: Meeting the Master “Long Yan, why did you join the Seven-Star Hall?”

Tian Shu looked at Long Yan, his expression growing solemn as he asked seriously.

“I’ve provoked the Zhetian Alliance and the Shengdao Alliance.

The Seven-Star Hall is the hegemon of the Star Fighting Plane, and it’s good to take shelter under a big tree.

I joined the Seven-Star Hall to seek protection.”

Long Yan spoke frankly, not concealing anything.

Given the methods of the Seven-Star Hall, they would eventually learn about his conflicts with the Zhetian Alliance and the Shengdao Alliance, so there was no need to hide it.

At these words, everyone was stunned; usually, people would give lofty, noble reasons, but Long Yan went against the norm.

However, this made everyone feel that Long Yan was sincere and straightforward.

“You joined the Seven-Star Hall to seek protection, which means that once you’re strong enough, you’ll leave, right?”

Tian Shu spoke again.

“There isn’t only the Seven-Star Hall that can offer me protection, but since I’ve chosen to join the Seven-Star Hall, I will be loyal to the Seven-Star Hall.

As long as the Seven-Star Hall doesn’t forsake me, I will never betray it.”

Long Yan said, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

“Whoever betrays the Seven-Star Hall, kill without mercy!”

Tian Shu rebuked loudly, his voice thunderous, infused with an aura of slaughter.

“Alright, now all the Elders, Law Protectors, and Hall Masters present are willing to accept you as a disciple.

You can choose one to become your Master and a direct disciple of the Seven-Star Hall.”

Tian Shu threw a challenging question at Long Yan, to see what he would do.

Everyone present was willing to take him as an apprentice, and no matter whom he chose as his Master, he would offend the others.

At this moment, everyone present also grew nervous; it would be a pity to lose such a disciple.

“All the Hall Masters, Elders, Law Protectors, I, disciple Long Yan, am very grateful for everyone’s kindness.

If it were possible to become a disciple under all of you, I would not hesitate to do so.”

Long Yan looked at everyone and spoke.

“This youngster does dream big.”

Tian Shu secretly chuckled without showing it.

At this moment, the hearts of the Hall Masters, Elders, and Law Protectors were all in tumult.

Long Yan continued, “However, I know it’s not possible, and I’ve already chosen a Master in my heart.

Although I’ve chosen a Master, in my heart, all of you are my Masters.

If you have any commands in the future, I will certainly brave any dangers to fulfill them.

It’s my only regret that I cannot become a disciple under all of you.”

As soon as Long Yan said this, everyone was stunned; obviously, his words touched them profoundly.

“Good kid, not letting anything slip through!”

Tian Shu thought to himself, a look of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

“Disciple earnestly requests Hall Master Zhou to accept me as his apprentice.”

In front of everyone’s gaze, Long Yan approached Zhou Xuantong, slowly knelt on both knees, and respectfully performed a deep bow.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned; no one had expected Long Yan to choose to be Zhou Xuantong’s apprentice.

Any of the others present were stronger than Zhou Xuantong and would provide more guidance to Long Yan.

Joining Zhou Xuantong would be nothing but a setback for his future prospects, would it not?

However, it was Long Yan’s own choice, and since his words had been so well expressed, they couldn’t really say anything else, even though they felt it to be a pity.

“Very good, very good, my good apprentice.

From now on, you are Zhou Xuantong’s disciple.”

Zhou Xuantong was overjoyed and quickly stood up, personally helping Long Yan up from the ground.

Although there had been a prior agreement with Long Yan, if Long Yan had chosen to follow someone else, there would have been nothing he could do.

Fortunately, Long Yan truly chose him as his Master.

This time, he really felt vindicated.

“Long Yan, are you sure you want to take Hall Master Zhou as your Master?”

Tian Shu asked Long Yan.

Long Yan’s decision had come as a surprise to Tian Shu.

“Disciple has already made up his mind.”

Long Yan nodded.

His choice to follow Zhou Xuantong was not due to their previous agreement.

Zhou Xuantong had a high status in the Seven-Star Hall and was extremely protective; having such a Master to protect him meant he needn’t fear trouble from the Zhetian Alliance and the Shengdao Alliance.

As for cultivation, his Qigong was unparalleled, and even Tian Shu couldn’t offer much guidance; he also didn’t want to expose his secrets.

After weighing his options, taking Zhou Xuantong as his Master was the most appropriate choice.

“Very well, you are now a disciple of Hall Master Zhou.”

Tian Shu nodded.

Since Long Yan had taken apprenticeship, it was a fact now.

“Good disciple, follow me to Yu Heng Palace.”

Immediately, Zhou Xuantong took Long Yan and left the Palace of the Sect Leader.

“Ah, what a pity, such a good face.”

After Long Yan and Zhou Xuantong left, many sighs sounded within the Palace of the Sect Leader.

Zhou Xuantong was notorious for wasting disciples, and Long Yan, having pledged allegiance under his name, might also struggle to achieve greatness.

“Elders, Law Protectors, Long Yan has now been apprenticed into Yu Heng Palace, please provide guidance in his future cultivation.”

Tian Shu addressed the crowd.

While Zhou Xuantong was not good at guiding disciples, with some advice from those present, Long Yan wouldn’t be wasted.

Everyone nodded, having a good impression of Long Yan, and they could indeed offer some advice at the appropriate time.

………………

Yu Heng Palace was not far from the Palace of the Sect Leader, situated atop Yu Heng Peak.

Very quickly, Zhou Xuantong brought Long Yan to the square on Yu Heng Peak.

On the square, two men were cultivating, both middle-aged.

One of them looked simple and honest.

Both were at the God King Realm, with the simple and honest man being at Second Rank God King, while the other was only at God King Level 1.

“You two good-for-nothing things, come here now!”

Zhou Xuantong scolded them.

“Master!”

The two men approached and paid their respects to Zhou Xuantong, their gaze falling on Long Yan, assessing him.

“These are your two good-for-nothing Senior Brothers.”

Zhou Xuantong introduced them to Long Yan, then scolded the two again, “Look closely, this is your Junior Brother.”

Zhou Xuantong didn’t hide his displeasure with these two disciples.

“Long Yan greets the two Senior Brothers.”

Long Yan greeted with a cupped fist salute.

It seemed Yu Heng Palace was somewhat desolate.

“So you are the Junior Brother.

I am your Second Senior Brother, Han Lei.”

The simple and honest man said to Long Yan, his smile warm.

“I am your Third Senior Brother, Chen Yuan.”

The other man also smiled.

“Alright, you go back to cultivating!”

Zhou Xuantong waved them away, dismissing Han Lei and Chen Yuan.

“Come with me.”

After a while, Zhou Xuantong led Long Yan into a courtyard.

“Disciple, you will live here from now on.

The environment is quite nice; it’s suitable for cultivation,”

Zhou Xuantong told Long Yan.

Of all the courtyards in Yu Heng Palace, aside from the one he lived in, this was the best one, with a pleasant environment, well suited for cultivation.

“Thank you, Master!”

Long Yan looked around the courtyard, quite satisfied.
