At first, Meng Yan just mentioned it casually and didn't take it seriously. But after he said it, he found that it made sense and met his needs. On the contrary, the noodle seller was shocked by his proposal.
"Brother, are you not out of your mind? Although the old woman doesn't understand very well, everyone says that if you become a formal disciple, you will become a regular disciple in the future. Even if you think they can't choose you, you can choose other masters. What do you say to others?
You have studied hard and become talented, but my old lady just works as a handyman and knows nothing, so what qualifications do I have to be your master?"
"Mother-in-law, that's not what you're saying. Look at all the people queuing up in front of you. Can you honestly say, how many of them do you think will become talents in the future?"
"Hey, little brother, what are you saying? How can my old woman understand such complicated things..."
"I dare to give you this ticket, mother-in-law. Unless there is a miracle, none of these guys who are busy queuing will be able to get ahead."
"Young people should not be so confident when speaking. Qianxuefeng is not a sect that specializes in black people. It provides exercises and teachers. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will have the opportunity to improve and even become a full-time employee. How can you be sure that among so many people, none of them are willing to work hard?
Are you willing to make progress?"
The noodle seller was dissatisfied with the young man's arbitrary decision, but Meng Yan shrugged, "Theory is one thing, reality is another. Success or failure depends on performance. If you really have a chance if you work hard, then
Grandma, tell me, how many servants in Qian Xuefeng have become full-time employees over the years? How many servants have finally become masters?"
"...How can I, an old woman, know about these important things?"
"Mother-in-law, you can't tell, can you? I dare to say that if it's not one in a million, it's definitely one in a thousand. Since it's harder to succeed on this road than winning a big prize, and there are far more losers than winners, so
It proves that this is a path of failure, so why should I go there? Giving up on this path is the first step to success."
Meng Yan said: "I met an outsider before. He told me something that I didn't understand very well at the time. He said that the first step to success is to avoid fighting in a red sea where everyone has already lost their heads and there is blood everywhere.
When it comes to food, you must make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and find your own blue ocean. Only then can you swim freely and reap truly big benefits.”
"...Red Sea...Blue Sea..."
The noodle seller seemed to be touched by these words, her body trembled, and she fell into deep thought. After a long while, she sighed and said: "I have never seen a weird boy like you, leaving those masters alone, but why?
Find me, an old woman who knows nothing, to become your apprentice."
"Haha, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Maybe compared to those formal disciples, our team of miscellaneous masters and apprentices will achieve higher achievements in the future and become more important people. By then, everyone will look at us with admiration and dare not
Don’t look down on us handymen anymore.”
"Well, let me, old lady, just fool around with you little brat once. I hope I can borrow your good words and become famous in front of others in the future, but..." the voice of the noodle seller suddenly became cautious, and she said seriously: "But you have to
To be honest, what are you trying to do by asking me to be your master? Old woman, I don’t have the ability to teach you martial arts."
"...Mother-in-law, you are really discerning. I can't afford to go early without profit. I really see a benefit in you. After becoming your apprentice, can I eat noodles for free? If so, can you teach me how to cook noodles by the way?
"The noodles you cook are delicious. If I learn to cook them by myself, I won't be afraid of them no matter where I go."
"Apart from this, is there no other reason?"
"Actually, there is a real reason, which is more important than the others, but I guess you won't believe it, so I never said it."
"What reason?"
"I hate cutting in line, I hate it very much..."
"What reason is this?"
"So hear me out! What I'm trying to say is, I hate jumping in line... but I hate standing in line even more! Very, very annoying."
This sentence left the noodle seller completely speechless. Although it sounded like an excuse, she could feel that the boy was not lying and was indeed telling the truth.
Meng Yan's apprenticeship was completed in this way. When he went to register, the person in charge heard that he had become an ordinary person who was not a martial arts master, and he was also an ordinary servant. He was almost frightened. Since Qian Xuefeng founded the sect, There has never been such a strange thing. Everyone worships the sect, just to learn skills and stand out. Now this young man does not worship the master, but randomly picks a handyman to worship him, destroying his own future. Is he crazy? This incident opened up a strange thing that had never happened before in Qian Xuefeng.
However, strangely enough, Qian Xuefeng’s sect rules do not stipulate that servants cannot become disciples of Qian Xuefeng, and in name, servants are also part of Qian Xuefeng. Anyone who joins as a disciple through a formal ceremony is naturally a disciple of Qian Xuefeng, so There were no procedural problems with Meng Yan's behavior. The whole matter was settled and became a hot topic among people in Qianxue Peak after dinner.
"Do you know? There is a strange person among the handymen this year!"
"I heard that he is indeed a strange person. He may be just pretending to be shit, but he actually takes the handyman as his disciple. I really don't know what he is doing here?"
"Those outside who can't enter the mountain gate will be so angry that they vomit blood if they know that someone does not cherish the opportunity. Even if they are handymen, the handymen of the sect are better than the apprenticeship and inheritance of ordinary people. The sect's heritage is different. .”
"That's not necessarily the case. I think that boy might not be crazy, but has a deeper meaning. Think about it, Qian Xuefeng is dominated by women, and men have limited room for development in Qian Xuefeng. If you still invest in Qian Xuefeng even though you know this, besides being useless, There is no place to go, what other reason is there? Isn’t it just because there are so many beauties here and you want to become talented through curves?”
"You mean...he is deliberately being unconventional to attract attention? What a plan!"
"Yes, think about it, now that boy has become a celebrity, there may be some blind women who are curious about him and come to see him. If there are more than one, some of them will be attracted to him and he will seduce a pretty girl. Girl, if you have a higher status, you can hope to become a full-time official immediately, which is much faster than training hard there for decades!"
"Okay, what a shameless boy, you actually thought of going to this level. How vicious! How vicious!"
A few days passed, and many rumors spread among Qian Xuefeng. As the person involved, Meng Yan knew nothing about these words. He just felt that the eyes of the people around him were very strange, and there were always strange glances at him when he was working. Some women were whispering behind them, as if they had suddenly become celebrities.
"...I just don't want to queue up. Is this kind of thing so difficult to understand? How much do these people like to queue up?"
Meng Yan scratched his hair, a little surprised by the strange situation he was in now. He thought that Mei Ying would come here soon. After all, the token she gave fell into the hands of others. She who gave the token could not know anything about it, but Day after day passed, there was no news at all about Mei Ying, which made Meng Yan puzzled. Later, he inquired privately and vaguely heard that Fairy Mei Ying, the head of Qianxue's three concubines, had just returned a few days ago due to an urgent mission, and she was about to return. He was ordered to go out and is currently not at Qianxue Peak, which made many new disciples who wanted to see his grace cry out for regret.
Although I don’t know what happened, it is obviously an unfortunate coincidence. If Mei Ying is not at Qian Xuefeng, no one can prove her identity... But then again, there is nothing to prove her identity. Do you want to go out?
Do you always tell everyone that you are the Demon Star of Southern Xinjiang, the Evil God of March? If you expose this identity, you will definitely be hunted from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and will never fade away.
Meng Yan was not very interested in the privileges that Mei Ying could bring, but as a result, he became a little embarrassed in Qianxue Peak, especially when he wanted to find someone to settle accounts with but didn't know where to find one, making it seem like he had come here specially.
Being a handyman is very bad.
Qian Xuefeng is dominated by women. For the sake of family tradition, not only the male and female disciples live in separate places, but also the servants keep a distance from the official disciples. The scope of activities of the male servants is extremely limited and they are not allowed to enter most places. Where did the Liu brothers and sisters go?
Meng Yan didn't know it at all. Even if he wanted to search privately, he didn't have the ability. Only then did he discover a problem, which was that Wu Chou could help increase the strength and speed of the body without using the Heavenly King's combat power.
, so that my physical fitness is not inferior to those of those warriors, but I have never really practiced Qing Gong, swordsmanship, or internal strength. When I use it, there is always something missing and something is not in place.
These problems made Meng Yan realize that continuing like this is not the answer. He should really fill in the missing parts from the beginning, otherwise the foundation will never be stable and he will become a useless person who can't fight unless the King of Heaven is launched. This is terrible
Not what I want.
"...You can't count on Master. Noodles are delicious, but you can't use them to beat people...Since it's the path you chose, there's nothing to complain about."
After registering together that day, the noodle seller hadn't seen each other again. The male and female handymen worked in different areas, and there was basically no chance to meet each other. However, Meng Yan felt that as long as he could sneak down the mountain later, he might be able to see her.
When the master comes to sell noodles at the stall, at least he won’t have to pay for the noodles.
"...To really practice, you still have to rely on yourself."
As soon as he calmed down, Meng Yan first looked at the chips in his hand. People cannot become stronger inexplicably. If they want to strengthen themselves, they must first look at the resources in their hands.
The Supreme Ring Seal worn on the hand, after being jointly sealed by Ye Jielin and Mei Ying, changed its shape. It looked like a broken silver ring with half of it missing. It was very inconspicuous. It is estimated that thieves would not be interested if they saw it.
It was supposed to be the most powerful weapon, but ever since I put it on my hand, there was no reaction at all. It was completely unlike the legendary and ferocious name. I didn't know how to use it, so I couldn't count on it.
"...The ring is useless, and I can't understand the words in the secret book. Tsk, it seems I can only find a solution with the clown."
