Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 154 Apprenticeship

Before he actually stepped into the reception room, Shen Jingyuan's loud and apologetic voice came into the reception room like a gust of wind, "Oh, I am sorry to have troubled Lord Huo and City Lord Zheng to wait for so long. I am really sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me."

When City Lord Zheng heard Shen Jingyuan's words, he immediately stood up, with a smile as warm as spring breeze on his face, and said sincerely and gently: "No, no, it is we who are presumptuous to come to your door and disturb you, Brother Shen." Shen Jingyuan hurriedly waved his hands, saying that he dared not, and then greeted the two of them with enthusiasm to take a seat quickly.

After everyone was seated steadily, a simple yet polite greeting flowed slowly in the air like a gentle breeze, and everyone said some polite words to each other.

Then, Shen Jingyuan looked at City Lord Zheng and Huo Jingtian sincerely and firmly, with a slightly serious expression, and asked the question in his mind: "I wonder what the two of you are here for this time? As long as it is something that Shen can do, Shen will definitely do his best."

"Brother Shen, you are so polite." City Lord Zheng still had that faint, spring-like smile on his face, and his eyes revealed an elusive deep meaning. He paused and continued, "In fact, I came here with Lord Huo today because I do have something important to discuss."

"City Lord Zheng, please feel free to speak." Shen Jingyuan said solemnly, his eyes full of anticipation and concentration.

After hearing what Shen Jingyuan said, City Lord Zheng Kai turned his head and looked at Huo Jingtian beside him. There seemed to be a hint of inquiry and hint in his eyes, as if asking Huo Jingtian if he could start to explain his purpose.

Huo Jingtian nodded slightly, his movements were gentle and slow, as if he was giving Zheng Kai a positive response. Then, Huo Jingtian cleared his throat, his voice was as deep and powerful as a bell, and then he said: "Let me say it, I came here for Shen Yun." His eyes slowly fell on Shen Yun who was standing behind Shen Jingyuan, and his eyes revealed an elusive light, like the mysterious stars twinkling in the night sky.

Shen Yun was suddenly surprised, just like a small stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. However, he immediately stepped forward respectfully, bowed and said, "I wonder what you want me to do, Senior."

His expression was very serious, his eyes were full of respect and curiosity towards Huo Jingtian, and he was secretly wondering why this big shot from the imperial capital wanted to see him.

Shen Jingyuan's face also showed a trace of doubt, as if he was shrouded in a fog, but he did not speak, but quietly waited for Huo Jingtian's next words. The atmosphere in the entire reception room became a little solemn, as if there was an invisible pressure in the air, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Huo Jingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze swept back and forth over Shen Yun like a sharp arrow, as if to penetrate Shen Yun's entire body, carefully observing every detail of him.

After a while, he slowly said, "When I saw this child, I saw a unique temperament between his eyebrows, which was as sharp and dazzling as a sword drawn from its sheath. Looking at his figure and posture, I can tell that he is gifted and has excellent bones and bones. He is definitely not an ordinary person. I have been in the martial arts world for many years and have seen countless people. It is rare to find such a promising talent. So I came here today to take him as my disciple and teach him everything I have learned in my life without reservation. What do you think?"

Shen Jingyuan and Shen Yun were both stunned when they heard Huo Jingtian's words. Their faces were filled with astonishment and disbelief, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world. They had never thought that Huo Jingtian came here with such a shocking purpose, which exploded in their hearts like a bolt from the blue.

Shen Jingyuan was the first to recover from his shock. His face immediately showed a look of surprise and joy. His voice was trembling slightly with excitement, like a leaf swaying in the wind. He said quickly, "This... this is of course what I want! Master Huo, you are a well-known senior master in the martial arts world. It is a blessing for Yun'er to be favored by you! Yun'er, why don't you come and meet the master!"

Shen Yun was still a little dazed at this time, his mind was blank, as if shrouded in a fog, and he seemed to be still digesting this sudden huge surprise. But after hearing Shen Jingyuan's words, he immediately reacted, and an uncontrollable excitement and excitement surged in his heart, like surging waves in his heart. He took a step forward excitedly, preparing to kneel down to pay homage to his master.

However, Huo Jingtian raised his hand to stop him. There was a trace of seriousness on his face, as unshakable as a towering mountain. He said solemnly: "Don't be impatient, I still have something to say. My teaching will not be easy. In the future, your path of cultivation with me will be full of hardships and challenges. The hardships and tribulations are not something that ordinary people can bear. You must be mentally prepared and must not give up halfway, otherwise I will never let you off easily."

Hearing this, Shen Yun's eyes instantly became extremely firm, as if they were as hard as steel. He straightened his spine, like a proud pine tree, tenacious and unyielding. His voice was full of determination and courage, and he said loudly like a war drum: "Senior, rest assured, Yun'er will practice hard, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and will never let you down! Yun'er is willing to use his own efforts and sweat to prove his worth, and he must become a strong man like you!"

After hearing this, Huo Jingtian nodded with satisfaction, a gratified smile on his face, as warm as the spring sun. He slowly said, "Okay, I, Huo Jingtian, have devoted my whole life to cultivation. I have never had any children, and for a long time, I have never thought of recruiting disciples. But from today on, you are my disciple."

"Yes, disciple Shen Yun greets the master." Shen Yun heard this and immediately said respectfully. Then, he bowed and presented a cup of spiritual tea with both hands.

"Okay, okay, okay," Huo Jingtian smiled, his eyes full of love. He stretched out his hands and took the teacup steadily. Then he put the cup to his mouth, gently drank a sip of the fragrant tea, and then carefully placed the cup aside. Then, he smiled and looked at Shen Yun kindly, and said with a smile: "Now that Yun'er has officially become my disciple, you are my own person. From now on, we, the master and the apprentice, must support each other and move forward together. This third-level martial arts, Qiankun Seven Styles, is a unique skill that I have treasured for a long time. Today I will give it to you. Just regard it as a gift from me for your apprenticeship."

"Thank you, Master," Shen Yun knew that this was not the time to be polite, so he stretched out his hands and took it without hesitation.
