Although he was prepared in his heart, Yang Ji was still surprised when he actually saw his residence. What appeared in front of him was a magnificent palace, with the glazed roofs shining brightly, and the rooms were incredibly large.
At least by one person's standards, this room is really too big.
"Why is this room so big?"
Yang Ji said a little surprised.
"Hey, don't ask me, I'm surprised too. Your place is better than mine."
Su Hong put her hands behind her back and stepped directly in. She raised her head and curiously looked at the finely carved brackets and flying beams around her. Obviously, this was her first time here.
"Everything was arranged by the elders. I didn't even tell you about your victory over Xie Lou. It seems that your red recommendation post is really useful."
Su Hong said.
She also came here as a registered disciple and has experienced various things. But a newcomer who has just entered the sect is rewarded with such a luxurious accommodation that even many "disciples" may not have. At least she has never heard of it before!
Yang Ji followed Su Hong and stepped in.
Everything here gave him a very novel and fresh feeling. The house was very large, divided into several rooms, and all the windows, doors, and pillars were painted golden yellow, soft but not dazzling.
Beds, screens, tables, teacups, futons, blankets, cabinets... everything is available and of high quality. Yang Ji only feels "luxury" in two words.
"The imperial court's full recommendation seems to be really taken seriously by the sect."
Yang Ji thought to himself.
It was beyond his expectation to have such a starting point just after entering the mountain. Yang Ji walked around and soon saw a pile of clothes and hats on the round table, including a finely carved iron crown and several green sets.
A silk robe and a token.
"Your starting point is different from others. Once you enter the door, you will be an official disciple. Keep that token. It is the identity mark of a disciple of the Iron Crown Sect. It will always come in handy when you go out in the future."
Su Hong's delicate voice sounded in her ears.
"Well, thank you."
Yang Ji walked around the room and was basically familiar with this "new home".
There was ready-made tea on the table, and the three of them, all young people, drank it directly. After chatting for a while about trivial matters in the Iron Crown Clan, they heard a crashing sound outside the door.
"Step aside!--"
"Where is that boy named Yang?"
"Where's Su Hong? Did you see where she went just now?"
…
Soon, the messy footsteps came directly towards Yang Ji's room. In the room, Yang Ji frowned and had a vague premonition of something.
Only Su Hong had a calm face and was still drinking her tea as if nothing had happened, except for a faint sneer at the corner of her mouth.
"boom!"
Two golden doors were kicked open violently from the outside. Three shadows of figures appeared at the door.
"I waited so long in vain to come at this time. I thought you wouldn't come!"
Su Hong took a sip of tea and looked up at the three people at the door.
The three of them were immediately startled. Apparently they didn't expect that what they heard was Su Hong's words.
"Su Hong, what are you still doing here? You are determined to protect this kid, right?"
Xie Lou, who had left and returned, stared at Su Hong and said fiercely.
"Hey. You went and came back with an extra helper. Are you trying to take revenge privately? Why, you can't afford to lose so much?"
Su Hong ignored it, stared at the two people behind Xie Lou, and said calmly.
"Don't worry!"
Xie Lou said harshly, his voice full of threats. He turned his eyes and looked fiercely at Yang Ji, who was standing in front of the screen:
"A newcomer who has just started is so lawless. If you don't teach him a lesson, he really doesn't know how high the sky is."
"Su Hong, please don't interfere in this matter. Xie Lou can afford to lose this face, but Senior Brother cannot afford to lose this face. If you insist on getting involved, don't blame us for bullying the few and even teach you a lesson. The big deal
, when the time comes, senior brother will just have to explain a few words to your senior sister."
Zhang Li also spoke, unabashedly threatening.
Yang Ji, a newcomer who had just entered the mountain, dared to interfere in the matter of "disciples passing on the martial arts". This made Zhang Li and others feel a huge threat.
In one word, this kind of person is a "restless person". No one likes restless people, especially "disciples" like them who are in high positions.
Xie Lou belonged to their group, and he suffered a hidden loss at the hands of Yang Ji. Being provoked meant that the prestige of the entire group was challenged.
This is also the reason why Zhang Li doesn't object to Xie Lou finding a way to fight back after the incident! Moreover, as a disciple who teaches the exercises, he teaches a registered disciple, even if the incident happens, it really is not a big deal.
This is originally the scope of authority of the disciples who teach Qigong.
Yang Ji and Duan Gang didn't speak. Although the matter was directed at them, Su Hong was obviously more skilled than them in handling this kind of matter.
"Hmph! Xie Lou, Zhang Li, you are brave. If you are not afraid of punishment from the sect, you can just take action. In addition, you don't have to worry about me blocking it, because I won't block it at all."
Su Hong said coldly, none of the three of them took it seriously.
"Su Hong, what do you mean?"
The "disciple" who was finally invited by Xie Lou said in a deep voice. Although they came under the influence of the situation, they were determined to teach Yang Ji a lesson. However, Su Hong's abnormal reaction made them more worried.
He had a clear mind and was not in a hurry to take action.
"I didn't deliberately spread the news. Do you really think you can come to me so quickly? Xie Lou, - hand over your impression of the disciple who is teaching the exercises."
Su Hong said in a deep voice.
"Nonsense! He is a registered disciple..."
Xie Lou was interrupted before he finished speaking!
boom!
Su Hong slapped the sandalwood table hard and shouted:
"Xie Lou, open your eyes and see clearly. You don't think the iron crown and Taoist uniform on the table belong to me, do you?"
Whoosh!
This sentence attracted everyone's attention to the table. When he saw the familiar iron crown on the blue Taoist uniform, Xie Lou's expression suddenly changed, as if he had been slapped hard.
"impossible!"
Xie Lou exclaimed, his face instantly turned extremely pale.
The faces of Zhang Li and others were not much better. A simple iron crown gave the three of them a huge shock like a violent sea.
"Impossible, he can't be an official disciple as soon as he enters the door!"
Zhang Li said in disbelief.
The iron crown and the pile of Tao uniforms were placed on the table, facing the door. I really can't blame them for being careless. They didn't see such an obvious fact.
But I have never heard of such a thing. Among the hundreds of disciples of the Iron Crown Sect, none of them started as a "named disciple" and then climbed up step by step. After passing the test, they can become an "ordinary disciple".
Whether they are disciples who are passing on the skills or senior brothers above, they all come here like this. I have never heard of a "newcomer" who starts from the "ordinary disciples".
It was precisely because of this preconceived idea that after the three people came in, they didn't pay attention to anything else except people.
"Nothing is impossible."
Yang Ji spoke at this time. He took out the sect token from his arms and said calmly:
"I have a letter of full recommendation from the imperial court, so I was an official disciple from the beginning."
Saying this, Yang Ji held the token in his hand and faced the door so that the three of them could see it clearly.
The expressions of the three people changed drastically, and Xie Lou's expression turned pale. The iron crown may be fake, but the token cannot be fake.
It is really shocking that a young "newcomer" becomes an official disciple after he goes up the mountain. But what is even more shocking than this fact is that he can actually get the full recommendation of the imperial court!
The imperial court has always treated Wu Tongsheng equally, and I have never heard of it. Who can get additional recommendations from the imperial court. This is not only an honor, but also an affirmation of talent and strength!
The person who can be fully recommended by the imperial court is scary just thinking about it. This is even more amazing than Yang Ji's performance in defeating Xie Lou with a sword, making the three of them feel a huge threat.
"What? Xie Lou, why don't you quickly hand over the seal of disciple to Yang Ji? If you are willing to admit defeat, if you fail in the challenge, according to the rules of the sect, you should hand over the position of disciple. Is it difficult for you to regret it?
Can’t do it?”
Su Hong said in a stern voice at the end.
I have long disliked this guy. Not only does he have a despicable character, but he also bullies the weak and abuses the "registered disciples" below. Su Hong has long wanted to teach him a lesson, but she just can't find a legitimate opportunity. How can she do it now?
Let this opportunity pass.
Zhang Li and Zhang Li were silent, willing to admit defeat. According to the sect's rules, once the disciple who teaches the technique fails in the challenge, he must hand over his position to the other party - as long as the other party is a formal disciple.
They couldn't say anything about the current situation. Moreover, now that Yang Ji has become an official disciple, the plan will change and it is impossible to take action again.
The sect values unity. Any fight between fellow sects is a taboo. Once something like this happens, the party they initiated will be severely punished!
Xie Lou's face was uncertain, Zhang Li and others did not say anything, and the decision-making power returned to him.
"Snapped!"
Xie Lou gritted his teeth and suddenly threw something to the ground:
"let's go!"
"Wait a minute!"
Su Hong's expression changed and she suddenly shouted: "Where's the Qinglong Sword Technique?"
"Hmph! You still want me to teach you the Azure Dragon Sword Technique, so just dream!"
Xie Lou looked at Yang Ji and sneered darkly:
"You want to teach your skills to a disciple? OK! Aren't you awesome? Let me see what you can teach them?"
As he spoke, he flicked his long sleeves and walked away. Zhang Li and others followed closely.
"Oops!"
Su Hong stood up suddenly and was about to get up and chase after her. But after taking two steps, she realized what she was doing and stopped.
"It's messed up this time."
Su Hong let out a long sigh and looked back at Yang Ji with an apologetic look on her face:
"I'm sorry, I was negligent. I forgot that you are still a 'newcomer'. You just went up the mountain and didn't learn anything, let alone the Qinglong Sword Technique."
"What's wrong?"
Duan Gang said in surprise, not understanding the situation at all.
"There are also assessments for disciples who teach the practice. If you can't teach the registered disciples below you, it may cause complaints. Once the news reaches the ears of the elders, your position as a disciple who teaches the practice will not only be unsafe and you will not get any benefits, but you will also be punished.
Punishment.”
Su Hong said with a worried look:
"Because the sect will think that you have no intention at all and are just sitting in the corpse position and misleading others. This guy Xie Lou must have thought about it a long time ago. As long as you fail and are not qualified, the position will still return to his hands.
"
You can't blame him for this. In various sects, it is not uncommon to challenge "disciples who teach you skills." Although most of them will fail, there are also successes.
Most of these people have learned the martial arts and exercises in the sect before, and their cultivation is better than the "disciples" who teach them, so teaching the following registered disciples is no problem at all.
It can only be blamed on Yang Ji's special situation. A "newcomer" who went up the mountain on the first day actually defeated the "disciple" without learning his own martial arts!
"I know those people in Zhang Li. They will definitely not let you live in peace and quiet. Now that they have given up their position but will not hand over the Qinglong Sword Technique, they will definitely find ways to make things difficult for you from all aspects. Moreover,
You are a Wu Tongsheng fully recommended by the imperial court. If this..."
Su Hong hesitated and did not go forward. But the two of them already understood.
The reason why Yang Ji has this kind of treatment and status is entirely because he is fully recommended by the imperial court and is valued by the clan.
If Yang Ji can't even become a "disciple", it will definitely affect the evaluation of him within the sect, which will lead to a great decrease in his treatment within the sect in the future, and it is even possible that he will be unable to move forward in the future.
"Is there no other way?"
Duan Gang said anxiously, even a rough guy like him could feel that the position of this "disciple" was a hot potato.
He had just gone up the mountain and was in trouble on the first day. This was definitely not a good thing for Duan Gang.
"Su Hong, you are also a martial arts disciple. Can you pass on your martial arts skills to him?"
Duan Gang's request was a bit abrupt.
However, Su Hong shook her head: "It's useless. The martial arts skills I practice are all for girls. The disciples taught by Yang Ji are boys, and the skills are completely different. Even if you teach them, they won't learn them.
"
Duan Gang's expression changed instantly, his eyes were blank, and he subconsciously looked at Yang Ji.
