Tong Yan put on the clothes that senior brother Luo Dong gave her yesterday. It was said that Shang Xun found them specially for today.
The skirt is made of red magic silk gauze as the base, with a light and soft texture and a smooth surface. It is decorated with gold embroidery and black trim, making it look gorgeous and public, yet still solemn.
From the whole to the details, it is very similar to the one worn by Shang Xun. This is probably the legendary master-disciple outfit.
It wasn't time for her to come on stage yet, so she stood waiting at the bottom in a dignified manner, looking at the auditorium with a bored look.
The famous sects are naturally placed in the best view position, followed by aristocratic families, small sects and numerous casual cultivators.
The outer disciples were standing a bit far away. She looked over there for a long time but could not find Huo Qizhi in the crowd.
Did he not come to the ceremony because of something else?
After waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, she finally arrived.
What should I do if I feel a little nervous when so much attention is being paid to me?
Being stared directly at by tens of thousands of eyes on the auditorium, a layer of sweat began to form on her palms, and her limbs were slightly stiff as she walked forward. After taking the stage, she received the attention of high-ranking people from various sects.
But you must endure!
After finally arriving in front of Shang Xun, I only heard his majestic voice, "Kneel down."
Tong Yan suddenly knelt down, his knees hurting a lot, but he didn't dare to show anything strange on his face.
The apprenticeship ceremony was carried out simply two years ago, and the process this time was not much different from the last time.
The waiter brought three things and waited beside Shang Xun.
A cup of spiritual tea that requires respect from children.
"Today, I am looking for you to be my disciple, to introduce you to the Taoism, to teach you karma and to resolve your confusions. I hope you will train yourself deeply and persevere, so that one day you can be free and carefree, and ascend in the realm of enlightenment."
"Disciple Tong Yan, I will obey my master's orders!" He kowtowed three times and offered tea.
A jade-like bone bracelet, exactly the same as the one the master took away before.
After calling her to get up, Shang Xun took it himself and carried it for her.
Finally, there is a direct disciple token, something that proves her identity.
It’s time again for the joyful part of receiving gifts.
They were all rare treasures and magic elixirs that she couldn't understand or fully recognize.
The only one I have heard of and still recognize is a spiritual sword, the Luoyang Sword.
It was forged by Gao Yangchen, and now he wants to give it to her personally.
Although Gao Yangchen came with the disciples of the Jian Sect, he was asked to leave by the people on the main peak as soon as he arrived at the Mosha Sect.
Therefore, today was the first time she saw this legendary seventh-level weapon refiner.
Wearing a green shirt, he stood calmly in front of him. With his eyes as bright as stars, he was clearly a handsome young man, not the burly and sturdy man he imagined.
"I have nothing to give you. I heard that you entered Taoism with a sword. My spiritual sword has not found a suitable owner yet, so I will give it to you today."
The name engraved in ancient Chinese on the blade of the sword was seen by sharp-eyed people, and they shouted out in shock.
"It's Luoyang Sword!"
"One of the Nine Swords of Luoxuan?!"
There was an uproar behind Tong Yan, and even many eyes on the high platform were directed towards this place with unclear meaning.
All the eyes staring at her became more intense, mixed with unwillingness, jealousy, envy, both good and bad.
Currently, only two of the Luoxuan Nine Swords have no owners, one is the Luoyang in front of you, and the other is the Luotian Sword stored in the Burial Sword Mountain.
But now Gao Yangchen actually said that he would give the Luoyang Sword to him, and Tong Yan felt as if he was in a dream, which was unreal.
The legendary thing suddenly had something to do with her?
This gift is indeed valuable, Tong Yan looked at Shang Xun hesitantly.
She already had a suitable spiritual sword, and the Luoyang Sword would probably be put away to become ashes. A good sword really shouldn't be let down like this.
Shang Xun caught her eye asking for help and said, "Since Zhenjun gave it to you, just take it."
Tong Yan pursed her lips, feeling a little rejected in her heart, but she still followed Shang Xun's words and sheathed the sword first.
"Tong Yan would like to thank Mr. Gao Zhen for the sword."
Gao Yangchen seemed not to notice her previous hesitation, and smiled faintly after seeing her sheath her sword.
After the ceremony, Tong Yan privately told Shang Xun what he thought at the time.
After hearing this, Shang Xun didn't say a word, but took Tong Yan to Gao Yangchen.
Under the signal from his eyes, Tong Yan stepped forward and saluted Gao Yangchen, saying: "Gao Zhenjun, I already have a suitable spiritual sword. The Luoyang Sword in my hand may not be what Zhenjun expected, and I won't be able to let him get it."
Use it to shine brightly." He presented the spiritual sword with both hands, "I also ask the True Lord to take back the spiritual sword and find another owner."
Gao Yangchen was surprised for a moment, and then said with a smile: "This is the first time that someone has rejected me as a gift of a sword, but what's wrong with my spiritual sword?"
Tong Yan said respectfully: "Zhenjun's spiritual sword is naturally excellent, but I already have a more suitable spiritual sword."
Gao Yangchen stopped his smile and looked at her, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "You really want to refuse to accept this sword."
At this moment, there seemed to be invisible pressure, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart. She subconsciously glanced at Shang Xun next to her, then regained her confidence and insisted: "Yes!"
Unexpectedly, Gao Yangchen's next words shocked everyone, "There is absolutely no reason to take back what you sent out. Since you don't want it, just throw it away."
Each of Luoxuan's Nine Swords is a top-grade spiritual treasure. If others refused to accept it, they would throw it away to avoid being too wealthy and arrogant.
Isn’t it said that every work made by a refiner is like his own son? Is it appropriate to throw away his son if he disagrees?
Tong Yan didn't dare to complain, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "This..."
I can't accept this. If I don't say whether I want to part with it or not, if I really throw it away, Mr. Gao Zhen might get angry and chop her down.
Someone was more anxious than Tong Yan, "Master! How much effort you have put into the Luo Xuan Nine Swords, how could you throw it away just because of her words?"
This person is Liang Yin, a disciple of Gao Yangchen. She is famous in the Sword Sect for being obsessed with swordsmanship, and she is extremely devoted to the spiritual sword forged by her master.
Now I hear Master saying that he threw away the spiritual sword, how can he hold it back?
"Since she doesn't understand the spiritual sword, why waste it on her?" What she had spent decades trying to obtain but not obtain was now easily obtained by others and was treated with such contempt.
Liang Yin felt furious and wanted to draw his sword to teach Tong Yan a lesson.
Tong Yan naturally saw her fiercely hostile gaze, and she understood that after all, she was the one who refuted her master's good intentions.
Lingchi deserved this look.
Gao Yangchen scolded him coldly: "Shut up! When will it be your turn to interrupt?"
Being scolded by his master in public, Liang Yin had to hold back no matter how angry he was, "I know I was wrong."
He said he acknowledged his mistake, but when he looked at Tong Yan, his eyes were full of anger that was almost overflowing.
Oh haha, she has taken the blame.
She quickly added, "What this senior sister said makes sense. Instead of wasting it in the hands of juniors, it is better to find someone who needs it again."
Not only did Liang Yin not appreciate her trying to smooth things over, he also glared at her angrily.
Gao Yangchen: "Do you think I was joking what I just said?"
"Of course not, it's just..."
Gao Yangchen interrupted her directly, "In this case, the current owner of the spiritual sword is you, and it is up to you to decide where the spiritual sword will go."
After speaking, he took Liang Yin and left without waiting for Tong Yan's reaction.
She looked at Shang Xun for help: "Master."
Shang Xun touched her head comfortingly and asked softly, "You really don't like it?"
"I can't use two swords. Should I learn to use two swords instead?"
"We'll just take it to the auction house and sell it in a few days."
Tong Yan:??????
It's because she doesn't understand the world of rich people.
The monks who came to watch the ceremony left one after another in groups after the ceremony.
The disciples from Baiyin Valley came to say goodbye.
The leader, Senior Sister Jiang, is already in the elixir formation stage, and she may soon officially become the master of the young valley. She left in a hurry this time, with the intention of going back to prepare for relevant matters.
Chasing behind them were the Daotian Sect disciples. After learning that Baiyin Valley had left, the leading young sect leader Qi Fangyu hurriedly pursued them with his disciples.
The God-eating Hall did not welcome visitors, and they came and went in a hurry, leaving as soon as the ceremony was over.
Tong Yan probably did too many bad things and had many enemies. If he didn't leave before other sects, he might be ambushed along the way to seek revenge.
She could remember the evil deeds committed by the disciples of the God-Eating Hall last time, but those people wore masks before. If the masks were taken off, she really wouldn't be able to recognize them.
Jian Zong didn't delay long before leaving. Gao Yangchen was not in the leaving team, perhaps he was still reminiscing with Sect Leader Shang.
However, the way these two looked at her was so strange.
Shen Xinwan looked at her with an unclear look, which seemed to contain disdain and ridicule, as well as a bit of pride and a theatrical smile.
How did she make a simple expression that contains so many meanings? Did she do too many fan charts?
Liang Yin's eyes were much simpler, with only one meaning.
Don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!
Tong Yan:……
She'd better hurry up and practice.
Ji Xing came to say goodbye to her.
"Tong Donor, we will meet again in the Huangchen Secret Realm in three years."
Then he took out a box and gave it to her, "A gift for your apprenticeship." Seeing that Tong Yan was about to open it, he stretched out his hand to hold it down and smiled mysteriously, "I'll see you later."
At this moment, Tong Yan's curiosity was completely aroused. What is in the box?
Tong Yan muttered dissatisfiedly: "Little Master, I suspect you did it on purpose."
Even if he hadn't said this, she wouldn't have opened the box just now. There were so many people here, how could she have time to open the box.
Silent Walking Amitabha said in a serious tone: "Monks do not lie, poor monks do it on purpose."
Then he smiled, like flowers blooming in spring.
Too much!
She clenched her fist angrily and said with gritted teeth, "Okay! For the sake of your good looks, I forgive you."
Ji Xing smiled slightly and remained silent.
At this time, a girl suddenly came over.
She secretly glanced at Ji Xing a few times, and then looked at Tong Yan.
"you……"
Before the girl could say anything, Ji Xing spoke first.
"Senior brother and the others are still waiting. The child benefactor and the poor monk take their leave."
"Well, goodbye, little master."
He turned around and left without stopping. The girl's face turned pale and she silently watched him go away without pursuing him.
"What's your relationship with him? Are you good friends?" The girl suddenly asked her in a low voice, her tone seemed a little cautious, without any hint of jealousy or accusation.
Tong Yan thought for a moment and nodded. "Who are you?"
There were too many people and she couldn't remember them all.
"Can you teach me how you usually get along with him?" She completely ignored what Tong Yan said and asked herself.
Forehead…
"Who are you? Why should I tell you?" This robbery was too blatant.
Although Ji Xing was not hers, the way he left in a hurry just now made it clear that he didn't want to see her, so why did she tell this person about her and Ji Xing.
Is it too much to panic and add obstacles to the journey of silence?
Seeing that Tong Yan was unwilling to speak, the girl frowned, with obvious disappointment on her face, and then sincerely apologized to her.
"Since you don't want to say it, forget it. I hope you won't be angry because of my presumption. I just want to know more about him. If you are still angry, then I would like to apologize to you."
Seeing the other party's sincere apology, Tong Yan was really embarrassed to stay angry any longer.
Although she wasn't angry, she was just a little dissatisfied that she ignored her questions and asked about her own sex.
"Nothing, no anger." She replied dryly.
After hearing this, the girl smiled reassuringly, "You are so kind, no wonder he likes you."
Tong Yan's face turned red, his eyes wandered everywhere, and he almost stuttered, "Well... then yes, little master, he is a nice person and gentle, so what do you like..."
"Well, he's really nice." The girl seemed to be caught in some memory.
Damn it, where did Ji Xing get this shocking debt of love from?
She can't hold on to such a kind girl!!
A middle-aged man came over and called the girl away. When she left, she asked Tong Yan for her contact information.
In order to know yourself and the enemy, can you fight without danger?
Tong Yan tremblingly handed it to the sound transmission crane.
She could only support this kind of divine love with tears.
The two of them walked far away and could still hear their voices.
"Third uncle, I just saw him." The voice was filled with excitement, which showed that she was really happy to see Ji Xing.
