Chapter 329 Becoming a Master in March
Chapter 329 Becoming a Master in March
After discussing it with Lan, they slept soundly that night.
Compared to the neighboring star, who was unable to sleep due to the anxiety of meeting the general and the bustling crowds before the martial arts ceremony, they were getting a good rest.
So, the next day, Lan and Yun were full of energy.
Even after Xing woke up, he was still yawning and looked listless.
She wasn't sure if she had overslept, but after looking around, she found her companions at a stall not far from the inn's entrance.
Incidentally, I overheard a strange conversation at the entrance of the inn. The gist of it was that the company sponsored the martial arts ceremony, but did not receive naming rights.
...Don't let him hear this, otherwise he might overthink it, and the company might get attacked.
Xing ran towards her companions.
Hearing Xing's movements, the companions who were watching the stage turned around.
"Star, you're here!"
March 7th waved excitedly.
Before me are Danheng, March 7th, Yanqing, and...
Xing blinked and looked at the handsome fox-man youth beside them.
March 7 followed her gaze: "Ah, Mr. Daji is staying at the same inn as us. We happened to meet him this morning."
Xing: ...A coincidence?
Yanqing also looked on with admiration: "Mr. Daji is indeed a strongman from Yaoqing. With just a few words, he solved the doubts that had troubled me for many days. I believe my swordsmanship will also improve to a higher level."
Xing: ...Isn't that obvious? How old are you? How old is he?
Speaking of which, haven't you recognized him yet, Sanyue and Yanqing?
Xing didn't remind her, but looked at Sanyue: "Sanyue, why aren't you paying your respects to your master yet!"
She looked disgusted.
March 7th was happy to play along: "Master Yanqing above! ... But in fantasy plays and novels, when a celestial boat seeks to become a disciple, it must present the master with a grand gift, kneel and kowtow. Oh no, I haven't prepared anything."
Danheng quietly handed a bag to him from the side:
"I've prepared it for you."
March 7th was startled: "Huh? How did you know...?"
Dan Heng glanced at the fox-man youth to the side without leaving a trace, and replied, "Zhi prepared this for us all before leaving. He probably guessed from the beginning that someone would become an apprentice during the martial arts ceremony."
Xing was confused, but that didn't stop her from looking at Dan Heng with admiration.
—When it comes to the ability to lie through one's teeth, it has to be our teacher Danheng.
Zhi and Lan are watching from the sidelines right now.
March 7th didn't delve into the matter further. She happily accepted the bag, her smile radiant as she said, "Master Yanqing, please accept my bow—"
Yanqing's face flushed red instantly, and he quickly stopped March 7th:
"No... Miss March, there's no need to be so polite. I... this is the first time I've heard someone call me 'Master,' I need to get used to it a little..."
Children blushing is adorable.
The fox-man youth standing to the side chuckled, "In ancient times, the rules for taking a master in the alliance were indeed quite complicated. After all, as the saying goes, 'My parents gave me life, but my master taught me.' Although they have been simplified quite a bit now, 'taking a master is like being reborn.' So, Yanqing Xiaowei, please accept this apprenticeship gift."
He narrowed his eyes and smiled even more adorably: "After all, it was prepared personally by the True Lord, so it must be a very suitable gift for the Cloud Cavalry."
Danheng: ...That's true.
Xing: ...But hearing someone boast so bluntly is really a bit...
Yanqing, of course, could not resist such temptation.
This is the apprenticeship gift prepared by the True Lord!
He rubbed his nose shyly and took the bag: "Thank you, Miss March, and thank you, True Lord... However, let me make it clear beforehand that sword practice is for training the body, mind, and strength, not a game that can be achieved overnight."
"I promised General Huaiyan that I would teach Miss Sanyue the Cloud Cavalry Sword Technique, have her participate in the Martial Arts Ceremony, and ensure she defeats at least one opponent. I will do my utmost to teach her, but if you disobey your teacher's instructions..."
Xing crossed her arms: "Don't worry, March will be very well-behaved!"
March 7th declared firmly, "A promise is a promise! Since I promised to study hard, let's start today!"
The fox-man youth maintained his smile.
Lan, standing in the big tail, twitched her eyebrows.
It should be that once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back, right?
Yanqing nodded: "Great, that's exactly the spirit we're looking for!"
The fox-man youth also laughed and said, "With Miss March's determination, the alliance will surely produce another master swordsman in the near future."
Upon hearing this, March 7th lowered her head shyly.
"I... I'm still a long way from there."
Dan Heng then looked at Yan Qing: "Yan Qing, I'm entrusting this to you in March. Don't be too polite to her."
Xing couldn't help but chuckle.
March 7th's expression turned into a mournful face:
"Danheng, your heart is colder than your usual jokes."
It's just like a lump of ice.
"Speaking of which, where is Yun Li?"
Yanqing replied, "I've found a secluded spot in the back garden of Sichen Palace. We'll give you your first lesson together in a little while."
Dan Heng took out another bag: "This is a gift for Yun Li to become her disciple. Keep it safe."
"Wow, you even considered this?"
On March 7th, they excitedly received a small bag of results.
Dan Heng glanced at the fox-man youth beside him: "Study hard, you'll be useful in the future."
March 7th chuckled, waved to Xing and Danheng, and began her first lesson on the path of swordsmanship—
Meanwhile, the fox-man youth beside him winked at the tail behind him.
There was a slight twitch in the large, furry tail before it returned to stillness.
—Even though the movement is invisible to the naked eye, the [Hunter] is still incredibly fast.
Lan went to see the sword training path of March 7th, and Yunzhi...
He'll stick to his usual practice and make some incognito visits to various parts of the Immortal Boat Alliance.
