Cardinal Cheng woke up early, and went to wait in the lobby before dawn.

After a while, the middle-aged man walked in. "You're here?"

"Good morning, Master," he said, bowing.

The middle-aged man gave a faint smile and gently caressed the head of the Cardinal. " Your disciple is very obedient. "

Then, he continued, "Come, follow your teacher and give you the items needed for the entrance."

"Yes." The Cardinal replied before following the middle-aged man. He was modest and courteous.

The middle-aged man brought him to a place where a few disciples of the Hua Shan Sect were busy packing up their belongings. Cardinal Cheng looked up and saw the Sumeru Pavilion.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "This is the Hua Shan Sect's storage room, and there are also some chores here."

Huai Cheng nodded and said, "Understood."

The middle-aged man led the Cardinal straight into the Xumi Temple, "Little Qi, where's your martial uncle?"

A person standing at the counter was the manager of the Sumeru Pavilion. He replied, "Martial Uncle, my Martial Uncle isn't here right now. If you want anything, just take it. When you leave, let me know so that I can register it."

Middle-aged nodded: "Alright, you get busy."

Cardinal followed the middle-aged man inside. The middle-aged man found two sets of clothes, a longsword, and three books.

Then, he pulled Cardinal's hand and walked to the counter. He showed the item to the one who had spoken just now and walked out of the Xumi Temple.

He returned to the main hall. "Disciple, kneel down and accept the gift."

Cardinal Zhu Cheng knelt down obediently.

"This is a long sword that is used for training in Mount Hua. It is of the same style and material that you used to practice martial arts." If you want to go down the mountain, you will need martial arts to achieve success, do you know that? "

Cardinal Cheng received the sword with both hands. "Disciple understands."

He then gave two sets of clothes to the Cardinal, "These are the sect uniforms from the Hua Shan Sect. Since they're from the same sect, it's impossible for them to not have their own standard clothes. Wear one in the summer and one in the winter."

Cardinal Cheng took the clothes with both hands and said, "Disciple thanks Master."

"This is the Hua Shan Sect's sword art manual, and also Hua Shan's unique inner force skill manual. Now this is the first level of cultivation technique, if you progress, once you pass the examination, you will naturally receive a deeper level of martial arts. Without a foundation, you will not be able to succeed in anything, not to mention practicing martial arts."

"Practice hard, don't slack off." The middle-aged man said dutifully.

In that instant, the middle-aged man seemed to flash with the shadow of his Master.

Fifteen years ago, when he was still clueless, a middle-aged man said the same thing to him.

Cardinal took the sword art manual and the inner force cultivation method. "Thank you, Master!"

The middle-aged man was very satisfied with his response. He nodded: "Alright, alright, alright." You just have to practice properly in the future and don't forget your initial intentions. Cultivating martial arts isn't for the sake of winning, and it exists to punish evil and promote kindness. Do you know that? "

"Disciple will follow Master's teachings."

The middle-aged man wore a smile on his face and patted Cardinal Zhu Cheng's head again, "Alright."

Then, he handed over a book, "This book is the contribution book of our Hua Shan Sect, it is used to record the actions of our disciples, and it is used to record the achievements of our disciples. At the same time, it is not useless to contribute, it can be exchanged for the techniques and martial arts of the Compendium Pavilion. Do you remember? "

Cardinal Cheng said, "I've heard from Senior-apprentice Brother Wang Qin that disciple knows about it."

Then, the middle-aged man said, "If you want to earn some contribution points, like when you went to help out in the Xumi Pavilion, you could earn some contribution points. You could also get some contribution points by tidying up your belongings. "Also, it's not impossible for you to diligently practice martial arts. As long as you can get a good score in the exam, you will be able to get the appropriate amount of contribution points."

"When you first entered the sect, you received 150 contribution points. You don't need to worry about the contribution points. Next month, you will receive them in exchange for a new contribution book. At the same time, you will also record the disciples' actions during this month."

Cardinal kowtowed, "This disciple understands. Master does not need to worry about this."

The middle-aged man smiled, "Foolish child, although Master has been in the Hua Shan Sect for many years, but has only taken in four or five disciples. If I don't trouble you, who would bother with you?"

Cardinal Cheng did not say much, but he was deeply moved. Why did the Hua Shan Sect want to exterminate the sect?!

If not for his hatred, Cardinal might have felt that the middle-aged man was quite good, amiable and benevolent.

But there was hatred first.

From start to finish, Cardinal felt that his words were very hypocritical, very pretentious. Cardinal felt very frustrated, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that he was currently putting on an act.

The middle-aged man saw that Cardinal did not say anything, and waved his hand, "There will be an assessment examination after a month. As soon as you enter the entrance, I do not expect you to reach such a level. "Hurry up and train."

Just as he was about to leave, the middle-aged man suddenly called out, "Wait a moment. What's your name, disciple? I can make an impression."

Huzhu said, "His surname is Zhicheng."

At this moment, there was an impulse in Cardinal Zhu Cheng's heart — the impulse to say his surname!

Yi Zhenzheng, or maybe it was Ye Chonglou!

However, Cardinal still held himself back. He tightly clenched his fist, and then quickly loosened it. If anyone saw and saw this, all of his previous efforts would have been for naught.

The middle-aged man repeated his name twice, "Cardinal, Cardinal."

Then he said, "Who gave you your name? "It's pretty good."

"It was my father."

Then the middle-aged man asked, "Is your father still around?"

He did not know why he had asked this question.

He only nodded and said, "My father is still here."

Then, the middle-aged man asked, "Why did you leave your home and come up to the mountain to become a disciple?" His eyes were like torches as they flashed with a brilliant light, staring at Cardinal over and over again.

He changed his words and said, "Because, when I was at odds with my father, he said that I had no work to do and no future. That's why I came up the mountain to study. I want to prove myself!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded, "You can go. Oh right, the easiest way to earn contribution points is to meditate and punch the card every day. As long as you sign for it, you will receive half of the contribution points."

He then turned to the Cardinal and said, "Since you want to prove yourself, then work hard. I hope that one day, you will be able to return your home to me in front of your father."

Cardinal Cheng nodded his head, "Disciple will take his leave."

When Cardinal walked out of the hall, his heart was filled with emotion. After a few questions and answers, Cardinal felt that it was strange. Could it be that he had revealed an obvious flaw?

The middle-aged man had always felt that there was a sense of death and resentment, as well as a sense of indifference to life in the air around him. Just like the other disciple he had once accepted.

Then, the middle-aged man gave a self-deprecating smile. Since that was the case, why didn't he just accept this disciple back then? Why did he accept it?

The middle-aged man closed his eyes. Luckily, his disciple's family was still here, unlike before.
