Chapter 193 Seeking a Master
The head of the Zhang family sat in the head seat of the main hall.
His face was expressionless.
He held a cup of tea in his hand and took sips from time to time.
As the disciples of the clan ran in...
Zhang Heng said slowly, "I asked you to inquire about Lu Yuan's whereabouts, why are you so impulsive?"
The voice that followed carried a hint of displeasure.
At this moment, he was also in a bad mood, and seeing his clansmen acting like this naturally made him unhappy.
But the other party said, "Ancestor, I followed them all the way to the outer city gate. After they went in, I was unable to step inside. However, after Meng Tong and Lu Yuan left the city..."
I spent some spirit crystals to buy some information from the outer disciples: it seems Lu Yuan passed the outer disciple test, and it caused quite a stir.
His words finally moved Zhang Heng. He hadn't expected that Lu Yuan could enter the sect, let alone cause such a sensation.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. He had only been in this world for a short time, yet he had already reached the Transcendent Realm, which was truly something that ordinary people could not compare to.
Thinking of this, a look of regret appeared on his face.
"How... how did he end up entering the sect and becoming an outer disciple?" Zhang Heng had no idea that Lu Yuan had even alarmed a group of elders. If he had known, he would probably have been even more shocked.
Even if it means kneeling, they will beg Lu Yuan to come back.
The disciples standing nearby dared not speak, and then, at Zhang Heng's wave of his hand, they walked out of the main hall.
At the same time, within the Zhao family, the family patriarch had obviously also received the news, and his face was now extremely gloomy.
Feeling even a little cold, Zhao Li knelt down below.
He never imagined that coming to this desolate ancient world would make him even more unable to offend Lu Yuan.
The family's patriarch was only an outer disciple, yet Lu Yuan had already reached this level.
It may seem like just a small difference, but he knew in his heart that the gap was as wide as a chasm.
After looking at Zhao Li for a moment, the Zhao family head finally said slowly, seeing the other party's unease, "Tomorrow you will accompany me to the outer city to find Lu Yuan and explain things clearly."
After saying that, he waved for Zhao Li to leave.
At that moment, he felt his whole body turn ice cold.
It was as if it had been frozen.
The family patriarch was clearly going to take him to apologize to Lu Yuan.
Someone who becomes an outer disciple at such a young age is not someone the Zhao family can afford to offend.
The Zhao family patriarch understood this very well.
Meanwhile, inside the Meng family manor, the Meng family patriarch patted Meng Ke on the shoulder and said, "Not bad. Remember to get closer to Lu Yuan in the future, and bring him to our house for a visit when you have time."
After he finished speaking, Monk immediately said, "Don't worry, Ancestor, we'll definitely invite him to our house for a drink next time we meet."
After he finished speaking...
The patriarch of the Meng family nodded in satisfaction.
Then he gestured for Monk to go do his own thing.
Contrary to the opinions of others, at this time within the Changqing Sect, because of Lu Yuan's appearance, the Grand Elder personally went to see the Sect Master.
And make things clear.
At this moment, the sect leader of Changqing Sect and several elders gathered together.
The former wore a blue robe, with his long hair hanging down casually, giving him the appearance of an old man with a youthful face.
Looking at the elders, he said, "Although this child practices archery, his talent is truly extraordinary. I have only heard of the Transcendent Realm at the age of twenty-two; some of the great families in the Heavenly Dynasty have achieved this."
Now that he has come to our Changqing Sect, it means we are destined to be together, and we must not let his talent go to waste.
What I'm worried about now isn't his archery training, but rather that none of you can teach him properly.
Your one-stop haven for novel reading.
He was teleported from a small world and possesses such talent.
Even if it's just a bow and arrow, what can't others do? But what others can't do, they might be able to do. Geniuses are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
The sect leader of Changqing Sect attached great importance to this matter and said, "Pass down the word that this matter must be kept secret and must not be leaked unless absolutely necessary."
As for his status, it's fine to give him the title of outer disciple for now. I plan to take him to find a master who can teach him in a while.
"You want to go find Fang Motian?" the Grand Elder asked.
"Among the disciples who came out of the Changqing Sect, he is the most suitable. It is said that he is now a fifth-rank immortal official and his cultivation has even broken through to the immortal realm."
"There shouldn't be any problem with him teaching Lu Yuan," the Changqing Sect Master said slowly.
"But... ever since he established himself in the Celestial Empire, he's lost contact with the sect and intentionally distanced himself. If we go to him, will he really agree to help us?"
"He's the only big shot we can get close to now. Considering our past relationship, he'll surely agree. Besides, Lu Yuan is exceptionally talented. We're just a disciple he sent over; we're not asking him to do anything excessive," the Changqing Sect Master said calmly.
"Then, even if Lu Yuan successfully becomes our disciple, his time at the Changqing Sect isn't long. What if he doesn't recognize us like Tian Guan did?"
The elder voiced his final question.
In an instant, all the other elders looked over.
The Changqing Sect Master slowly said, "A talent like Lu Yuan should not be buried because of our petty thoughts. If he really succeeds in becoming a disciple, it would be best if he recognized our Changqing Sect."
If he doesn't acknowledge it, I only hope he can protect my human race, or at least add to our strength.
After he finished speaking, the elders said no more.
Everyone fell silent.
Then, the Changqing Sect Master said, "Alright, in the next few days, let that little guy Lu Yuan move into the outer city and arrange a residence for him. As for the safety issue..."
I'll trouble you elders to take turns being in charge of the outer city's security, and make sure nothing happens to him.
Once I'm ready, I'll take him to the Heavenly Palace.
However, remember not to make it too obvious, lest someone notice something amiss.
The Changqing Sect not only needs to be wary of the demon race, but also of people from other sects.
If a genius emerges among them, the opposing forces will naturally not let the opportunity pass.
"Yes, sir!"
Upon receiving the order, the elders responded and withdrew.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan had already returned home.
I happened to run into Madam Xiao outside the door.
"Did A-Yuan go out today?" Madam Xiao asked softly after bumping into Lu Yuan.
The latter said, "I went out and entered the outer city. I have passed the test and officially become an outer disciple. I can enter the outer city tomorrow."
Then you won't need to weave brocade anymore.
As Lu Yuan spoke, he pushed open the door.
Just as Xiao was about to step forward with her right leg, she suddenly froze.
He turned his head and asked, "Have you really become an outer disciple?"
"Of course it's true. Look at this token. Let's see how big the house is tomorrow. If it's big enough, we'll bring Xiao Gu and the others into the outer city as well."
"Um."
Xiao nodded.
Then, with a joyful expression, he entered the courtyard, followed closely by Lu Yuan.
At this point, it's natural to share this news with your family.
Meanwhile, within the Meng family, a completely different scene unfolded. Meng Tong was sitting in the family's main hall, reporting the day's events to the patriarch, who had now become an inner disciple.
