C139 Successful Disciple Recruitment

"What are you waiting for? Why aren't you kowtowing to me? Are you trying to defy my orders?" Lin Yuchen said to Xu Zifann complacently.

"This. . . You, why did you take me as your disciple?" Xu Zifann couldn't help but ask.

"Ah?" Lin Yuchen was startled and hesitated for a moment. This question. . . To be honest, Lin Yuchen had never thought about it. Maybe he was just on a whim, or maybe he was in a hurry yesterday. You look good. Look at your good temper and good character, You have a good foundation in martial arts. I came here today to look for your father, and I took you in as my disciple. "

" This. . . "

"[What?] You're unwilling? You are my junior disciple, so you have to call me uncle. Uncle, do you understand? Higher than my master? So you won't be at a disadvantage if you worship me?

"But. "

"Don't tell me you dislike me? Do you think I'm not worthy to be your master?"

"No, no, no. " Xu Zifann shook his head. It would not be wrong to say that he did not want to, but with such a master appearing out of nowhere, Xu Zifann did not know how to react.

"Then that's it!" Lin Yuchen quickly said and patted Xu Zifann on the shoulder. "It's not like we are going to be married. Why do you think so much?" After saying that, he turned to Xu Zhengsong and said, "Junior brother, look at this disciple of Sword Sect. I don't know what he needs to pay attention to. "

"Oh. " Xu Zhengsong quickly said, 'It was my negligence. I hope senior brother won't blame me for that. ' I will immediately ask my servants to choose a lucky day. " Then, he turned to Xu Zifann and said, "My Sword Sect is one of the four big sects in the Jianghu. Becoming a disciple of someone who practices martial arts is a very important matter. Your father has told you many times, don't lose your manners when the time comes. The first thing you need to do to become a disciple is to become a disciple of three great ancestors and three great sects. What happened after that? He had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times before offering red packets and invitation cards. After that, you will have to receive your master's lecture and your name will be bestowed. . . "

" That, that Branch Leader Xu. Oh, no, Junior Brother. I'm sorry to bother you. " Lin Yuchen quickly called out to Xu Zhengsong.

When Xu Zhengsong said he wanted to choose the auspicious day of the Yellow Dao, Lin Yuchen was shocked. How could he have the time to choose the date? He did not expect Xu Zhengsong to continue saying so many rules. Whether Xu Zifann remembered it or not, he could not remember it.

So he laughed and said, "I don't have such big manners. Kneeling down and kowtowing three times to call him master was enough. Furthermore. . . It's better to choose a day than a day. Don't trouble yourself with choosing a lucky day. I think today is a good day. " Lin Yuchen never believed in a lucky day. He only knew that if his father or big brother found out about it, it would be too late. He would most likely not be able to take in this disciple.

He then looked at Xu Zhengsong and smiled awkwardly. "This? This isn't good, this isn't proper etiquette. How can a matter of becoming my disciple be put up for show?"

" How can this be called child's play? Besides, Since I am taking in disciples, the rules are naturally set by me. And I am the senior brother, so what? My words are useless?"

"This? Then we'll do as senior brother says. " He reluctantly agreed.

" Hehe! " His face was filled with joy and pride. He turned to Xu Zifann and said, "Kneel down and kowtow before me. "

"This? Father. " Xu Zifann looked at Xu Zhengsong.

Xu Zhengsong didn't say anything for a long time. Xu Zhengsong had no objections to this matter of becoming Xu Zhengsong's disciple, but he felt that it was too hasty and impolite.

Seeing that Xu Zhengsong did not speak for a long time, Lin Yuchen cleared his throat and said, "Junior brother, do you think my arrangements are inappropriate?"

Xu Zhengsong shook his head. "Fan'er, since your master wants everything to be simplified. . . His father did not know what to say. Although he will only perform three kowtows and nine kowtows, he mustn't be neglectful. "

Xu Zifann nodded. After a moment of hesitation, he knelt down and saluted.

Lin Yuchen was so happy that he was about to take off. He smiled and said to Xu Zifann, "Good disciple, good disciple. " While he was happy, he suddenly thought of Ye Linger, who was beside him. "Linger, you have already acknowledged me as your master yesterday. You can forget about kowtowing today. Just call me master again. "

However, he saw that Ye Linger's eyes were staring at Lin Yuchen. It seemed that she was more excited than others. There were even faint tears at the corners of her eyes and she inadvertently became absent-minded. "Ah?" Ye Linger just woke up from a dream. She took off her mouth and said, "I am not going to shout. "

"Everyone saw you kowtow and acknowledge me as your master yesterday. Do you still want to go back on your word?"

"That doesn't count. I was drunk yesterday. Even I don't know what I did. " Ye Linger said and regretted. She looked at Xu Zhengsong.

Xu Zhengsong's expression was really ugly. He looked at Ye Linger and said, "You, a daughter, actually went to drink and even got drunk. Zi Fan, you didn't follow me? Why didn't you stop me? "

"It's all his fault. " Ye Linger immediately pointed at Lin Yuchen. "He lied to me and got me drunk. "

"Yesterday, you disguised yourself as a man and acted like a little beggar. How did I know you were a woman?" Lin Yuchen immediately argued.

It would have been better if he had not said it. Xu Zhengsong became even angrier when he said it. "You even disguised yourself as a beggar? And you even disguised yourself as a man? What kind of behavior is that? When I see your father, I won't tell him. "

"Alright, alright. " Lin Yuchen hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be angry, junior brother. Anger hurt one's body. As a child, it was understandable for him to be a little naughty. Unlike us, mature and steady. To them, Be patient, be patient. " He looked at Ye Linger and said, "Since yesterday doesn't count. . . Then today, I'll kowtow in front of Branch Leader Xu and acknowledge him as my master. "

"I don't want to bow, you liar. "

"Ah?"

"I am. It seems that you are not older than me by a few years. You always want to be someone else's master. You are really shameless. "

"How dare you!" Xu Zhengsong said. "He is the child of your grandmaster. Even if his age is similar to yours, how can he mess up his seniority?"

"Then I will not acknowledge him as my master. " Ye Linger angrily replied, "This matter of taking him as my master is a big matter. I have to go and ask my father's opinion first. If my father agrees, then I, I, I might be able to think about it. "

"This?" Although Xu Zhengsong understood that Ye Linger was just an excuse, his words were indeed reasonable. He was in a dilemma and could not help looking at Lin Yuchen.

"Oh. It's fine. " Lin Yuchen knew what to do. "Since that's the case, let's talk about it in the future. My stomach is already growling from hunger. "

"Oh. I didn't take good care of Xu well. I hope senior brother can forgive me. " Xu Zhengsong smiled and said, "Senior brother, this way please. " After hearing Lin Yuchen's words and looking at his appearance, everyone in the hall could not help but laugh.

After walking for a long time, they finally smelled the fragrance of the food. Lin Yuchen had long been provoked by the gluttony in his stomach until he almost lost his reason.

When he arrived in front of the hall, Lin Yuchen wanted to go in, but the last bit of rationality pulled him back. "Branch Leader Xu, you first. "

Although Xu Zhengsong had been guiding Lin Yuchen, his footsteps had never exceeded Lin Yuchen's, and he had always been following behind Lin Yuchen. Whenever he encountered a fork in the road, he would immediately give Lin Yuchen a direction, but he would have to wait until Lin Yuchen left before following him.
