"Hey, you are all here!" At this time, Tang Xuan's voice rang not far away.
Lu Chen was surprised and said: "What's going on today? Why are you here too?"
"Why can't I come? You two geniuses are so famous now. The whole sect is talking about you. I'm here to express my special congratulations. Don't you welcome me?" Tang Xuan slowly walked over and said with a smile.
"Welcome, why not welcome!" Lu Chen was in a good mood today, so he talked a lot more than usual.
"Hey, why don't you see Ji Yun?" Tang Xuan looked around, her beautiful eyes seemed to be searching for someone!
"He went to the back mountain to practice swordsmanship. What, you came to see him specifically?" Lu Chen said slightly surprised.
"Yes, the method Ji Yun taught me that day was very effective. I feel that my swordsmanship has improved very quickly recently, so I specifically asked him for advice today. According to the current rate of improvement, I estimate that in another half a year, I will also be able to
Those geniuses who can challenge the Heavenly Sword Ranking!" Tang Xuan said truthfully.
"Really? It seems that Ji Yun is quite good at teaching others!" Lu Chen's eyes lit up and he didn't notice anything wrong. He said with a smile: "Then come on, don't let your father down. If you can become a member of the sect,
If your father and your sister knew about the Heavenly Sword Ranking, they would definitely be happy!"
"Hehe, I think so too. Don't tell them that I will give them a surprise when they come to Jianzong!" Tang Xuan smiled honestly.
"I won't delay your sword practice. Go quickly. Ji Yun will be back in a moment. He hates others disturbing him when he is resting!" Lu Chen said.
"Yeah, then I'll go!" When Tang Xuan learned that Ji Yun had this habit, she immediately jumped up and ran towards the back mountain.
Here Yuexiu and Liu Yue discussed in a low voice, then turned to Lu Chen and chuckled: "Brother Lu, let's go down the mountain to buy some vegetables. It's a great joy for you and Ji Yun to be ranked on the Heavenly Sword Ranking."
, we should celebrate!”
"Celebrate?" Lu Chen frowned and said, "Isn't this bad!"
"What's wrong with this? You two have brought so much limelight to the Qinglong Academy. Celebrate it. Who will talk too much! Besides, Elder Shangguan, as the head of the Qinglong Academy, has gained a lot of face this time. He will definitely treat you two.
I'm so impressed, it's too late to praise you two!" Liu Yue said nonchalantly.
"Okay, it's up to you!" Faced with the two girls' requests, Chase Lu did not stop him.
Seeing that Lu Chen agreed, Yuexiu quickly took Liu Yue down the mountain to buy groceries.
There were two less girls in Shenbing, and the surroundings were much quieter. Han Wenqing was about to ask Lu Chen some questions about swordsmanship. Who knew, a blue-robed disciple suddenly walked towards Lu Chen from the direction of the Elder's House, and rushed to Lu Chen enthusiastically.
Chen cupped his fists and said, "Junior Brother Lu, Elder Shangguan is looking for you, please come with me!"
"Looking for me?" Lu Chen was a little stunned.
The blue-robed disciple smiled and said: "Of course, Junior Brother Lu made a big splash for Qinglong Academy yesterday and earned a lot of face. Elder Shangguan is looking for you to reward you and Junior Brother Ji Yun. This has spread almost throughout Qinglong Academy. You
Don’t you know this?”
"Really? Then I'd like to go take a look!" Lu Chen smiled, and he was also looking forward to the commendation from Elder Shangguan.
Han Wenqing laughed at the side and said: "Brother Lu, you have become famous this time, which is really enviable!"
"You kid, are you making fun of me? I'll look for opportunities to beat you up!" Lu Chen scolded with a smile, then followed his blue-robed disciple to the Elder's House.
Arriving at the Elder's House, Lu Chen was surprised to find that the lobby was full of elders from Qinglong House. As soon as he walked into the door, pairs of eyes fell on him.
"Lu Chen, here we come!" Shangguan Qingyun stroked his goat's beard and looked at Lu Chen with a smile.
Lu Chen came to the lobby, bowed and clasped his fists: "Disciple Lu Chen, pay homage to all the elders!"
"No need to be polite. You and Ji Yun have done a good job this time. You have saved the Qinglong Academy. We old guys are also very honored!" Shangguan Qingyun said with a smile on his face, looking at Lu Chen's tall and tall figure, the more he looked at it.
The more satisfied you are.
Lu Chen said humbly: "It is a disciple's duty to win glory for Qinglong Academy, why should we care about it!"
Among the people sitting in the lobby, only Elder Lei Hu, who had some opinions on him before, seemed a little silent. After all, before Lu Chen came to the sect, he made things difficult for Lu Chen in every possible way and said a lot of harsh and sharp words.
The relationship was very tense, which led to a gap between the two. Although he had made great contributions to the Qinglong Academy, he was an innate elder. How could he praise a disciple who had been ridiculed by him before with a smile on his face?
Isn't this a slap in the face? It's better not to speak.
Shangguan Qingyun smiled and said: "You don't have to be so humble. It should be your contribution. We elders have all seen it and know it well."
He took a sip of tea and said: "Lu Chen, your performance in the ranking battle this time was very good. Even the sect master was full of praise for you two. Guess what the sect master said to me in private yesterday?
"
"Not sure?" Lu Chen said honestly.
"Haha!" Shangguan Qingyun laughed loudly: "The sect leader told me privately that he plans to accept you and Ji Yun as registered disciples. This is a great honor!"
"This is happening!" Lu Chen was slightly surprised.
After Shangguan Qingyun smiled, he said with a straight face: "But the sect leader's request was politely declined by me. This is for your own good!"
"Disciple understands!" Lu Chen said.
Shangguan Qingyun said solemnly: "Remember, the reason why the sect master is interested in you two is because your performance yesterday was very wonderful and outstanding. With such excellent talents, the sect master naturally likes you. But the way of cultivation must not be too high-spirited. Everything is still there.
You have to be down-to-earth and take your time! Even if you become the registered disciple of the sect master, the sect master is busy with official duties and has no time to give you guidance, so you still have to rely on yourselves for everything."
Lu Chen nodded: "Elder Shangguan taught you a lesson well, and the disciples will remember it in their hearts!"
"I have said everything that needs to be said. I hope you will work harder in the future to win glory for Qinglongyuan. If you encounter problems in road repair and kendo, feel free to ask me for advice, or everyone present, they will answer them one by one!" Shangguan Qingyun warned!
After looking at Lu Chen for a while, he showed a kind smile again.
Lu Chen said respectfully: "Thank you all elders for your love. I will definitely work hard and live up to everyone's expectations!"
"By the way, when you competed with Liu Chun of White Tiger Academy yesterday, was the swordsmanship you used the same as Ruyi Sword Canon?" Shangguan Qingyun seemed to have remembered something and asked immediately.
Lu Chen was startled and responded honestly: "That's right, it's the Ruyi Sword Code!"
"As expected, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in practicing the Ruyi Sword Canon. You are indeed extremely talented. However, I am very confused, where did you learn it from?" Shangguan Qingyun asked curiously.
"In the Forest of Steles, there is a broken stone stele there, which records the fragments of the Ruyi Sword Canon. Unfortunately, I only learned four moves!" Lu Chen said helplessly.
Shangguan Qingyun showed a look of surprise, and then laughed loudly and said: "So that's it, you have only learned the four moves in the Ruyi Sword Canon in less than two months, and you have the strength to be ranked on the Heavenly Sword Ranking. You can teach me."
!”
"Thank you, Elder Shangguan!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
Shangguan Qingyun said: "Since you have made a great contribution to the Qinglong Academy, I will give you the complete sword manual of the Ruyi Sword Canon as a reward for your contribution!" After that, he placed a piece of sword on the tea table.
This thread-bound book was thrown to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen quickly caught it and glanced at the yellowed old book in his hand. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw four big characters written on it: Ruyi Sword Code!
"Thank you, elder, for the reward!" He cupped his fists and expressed gratitude.
Shangguan Qingyun smiled and said: "Lu Chen, the fact that you can practice this set of swordsmanship only shows that you are very discerning. The Ruyi Sword Canon was created by the sect's forty-fifth generation elder Wang Meng, and it dates back more than two hundred years.
Years of history, although it is only a high-level Xuan level, its swordsmanship has endless changes. The fact that you can find this set of swordsmanship among so many incomplete swordsmanship in the forest of stone tablets only means that you are destined to it. I hope you can use it well.
Carry it forward and don’t disgrace its reputation!”
"Disciple will study it carefully and carry it forward!" Lu Chen said with joy on his face and his expression was very excited.
Elder Shangguan smiled and said: "Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can retreat first. Remember, let Ji Yun come over!"
"Disciple, please leave!" Lu Chen put the book in his arms, turned around and left the Elder's House.
Shangguan Qingyun looked at Lu Chen's leaving figure and sighed: "This is a piece of rough jade. You must teach it carefully in the future and add another elder to our Qinglong Academy!"
Everyone agreed: "Of course!"
When Lu Chen returned to the Bamboo House, it was almost noon. Yuexiu and Liu Yue bought a basket full of vegetables from Wolong Town and were busy in the kitchen sweating. Green smoke was rising outside.
, it was in full swing inside.
After a while, the bamboo building hall was filled with a table of exquisite dishes.
Fish-flavored shredded pork, braised yellow croaker, black-bone chicken soup with red dates, cabbage with ginger sauce, winter bamboo shoots and magnolia slices... all kinds of delicacies are dazzling and mouth-watering!
Han Wenqing helped in the kitchen, lighting the fire to cook, serving dishes and wine, and was very busy. He was obviously a lively person.
"Wow, what day is it today? There are so many dishes, it smells so good!" Qu Qingyun came back from practicing swordsmanship outside. When he saw the fragrant aroma in Lu Chen's bamboo house, he quickly came in to check out out of curiosity. When he saw a table of exquisite dishes, his eyes suddenly widened.
Light.
"Let's sit down and eat together!" Lu Chen said with a bitter smile.
"Then you're welcome!" Qu Qingyang picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth without any politeness.
Lu Chen immediately laughed and scolded: "Why are you so anxious? Everyone hasn't arrived yet!"
"Who else is there?" Qu Qingyang pecked his fingers and asked doubtfully.
Lu Chen said calmly: "We'll find out later. There should be seven or eight people!"
"There are so many people, why are they all coming to us?" Qu Qingyang looked a little surprised.
Lu Chen said: "He came specifically to celebrate Ji Yun and me!"
"Brother, you are so honorable!" Qu Qingyang praised with a thumbs up.
