Tan Zhongchi wanted to whet the appetite of these people and build momentum for Qin Wushuang.
He said to a boy serving around him: "Go outside the hall and ask Qin Wushuang to come in."
The boy bowed and said, "Yes."
Qin Wushuang? These twelve core disciples all had suspicious looks on their faces. Several of them had already heard that their master had accepted a closed disciple.
Some are completely kept in the dark. Even those who know, have never thought that this closed disciple is so great that he has the strength to hit the top ten of the core disciples?
The boy walked out of the hall, raised his voice and shouted: "Senior Brother Qin Wushuang, please come into the hall to pay homage to the Master."
When Qin Wushuang heard the roll call, he smiled slightly, walked out calmly, and walked out of the hall unhurriedly. His back was left in the eyes of thousands of people in the square, and naturally there was another burst of wonder and doubt.
"Qin Wushuang? Who is this person?"
"It seems that he is only a senior disciple? How can he be qualified to meet the master? And he can still be with the core disciples?"
"Yes, I've never heard of Qin Wushuang before. Have any of you seen this person before?"
"I've never seen it before. I feel like you've just started here, right?"
Just as these people were talking about each other, a disciple suddenly sneered and said: "Don't be dissatisfied if you are said to be ignorant and ignorant. This Qin Wushuang is quite famous now. Master, he is the overall champion of the last martial arts trial.
The old man personally went to welcome him and fought with many palace masters before accepting him as his disciple."
"Rush to accept him as a disciple?" Those people were shocked. Could such a dreamy thing happen?
With his master's status and strength, how could he still have the disciples he was so eager to acquire? Is this Qin Wushuang really that evil? Looking at him, he doesn't look like he has three heads and six arms.
"Senior Brother Ke, you are well-informed. How famous is Qin Wushuang? We have been practicing in the mountains and don't know much about the outside world."
Brother Na Ke chuckled and said: "Don't I practice in the mountains? You have to listen to the news with your ears, and you have to dig out the gossip by yourself. This Qin Wushuang, hehe, he comes from Baiyue, a subordinate country of the Great Luo Empire.
country."
"Baiyue Kingdom?"
"What kind of incredible talent can come out of such a broken place? Senior Brother Ke, don't you make a mistake?"
"Believe it or not." Brother Ke looked unhappy and impatient.
"Hey, we really don't believe what others say. But our brothers all admire Senior Brother Ke's connections. Please tell me, please tell me."
Obviously, everyone is very interested in Qin Wushuang, the dark horse. To put it bluntly, they are not interested in Qin Wushuang himself, but they are interested in why Qin Wushuang can please the master. They want to learn the knowledge here.
study.
After hearing the flattery, Senior Brother Na Ke's face softened slightly and said slowly: "Don't always judge people with the old almanac, especially the tone just now. If this Senior Brother Qin hears it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along in Qingyun Palace in the future.
.I won’t scare you to death if I tell you what I have experienced during this time.”
"Oh, Brother Ke, please just say it straight and don't keep it secret. Brother, I was speechless earlier. I was speechless." The man lamented.
"Hey! I won't go into details. This Qin Wushuang has recently killed the two great protector martial saints of the Wu Kingdom and the Western Chu Kingdom. Do you think you are that good at this achievement?"
"Kill the Martial Saint who protects the country?"
Everyone was stunned, looking at Senior Brother Ke with dumbfounded eyes, and blinking, obviously still a little unbelievable.
"Your news is so lagging behind, hey!" Senior Brother Ke said with a sense of pride, as if he had a great friendship with Qin Wushuang and felt the same for Qin Wushuang's achievements.
"Senior Brother Ke, Qin Wushuang looks so young, wouldn't it be a bit perverted to kill the Protector Martial Saint? Could it be that he has innate spiritual roots?"
Senior Brother Ke said disdainfully: "How about being young? It's not unusual for a true genius to beheaded and exposed at a young age. Although there are late bloomers, not everyone has hope. This Qin Wushuang is so perverted that you can't accept it.
."
…
Qin Wushuang walked into the main hall under the attention of twelve pairs of surprised eyes.
"Disciple Qin Wushuang, I'd like to pay my respects to my master." Qin Wushuang saluted and then cupped his hands together: "I'd like to pay my respects to all my brothers and sisters."
"Is that you?" Zhou Fu blinked her beautiful eyes, and then her face lit up, "Are you Qin Wushuang?"
Qin Wushuang smiled and said: "Senior Sister Zhou, I can't thank you enough for your care in the gambling arena."
Zhou Fu waved her hand: "That's not called caring, it's just that I don't want the main hall master and his line to always cheat and win. Qin Wushuang, you are really good. I was still mumbling at that time, which line did this come from?
Young disciple, but I didn’t expect that he is my fellow junior disciple.”
"Senior Sister Zhou, this Wushuang Junior Brother, has he ever participated in a gambling competition?"
Zhou Fu was obviously very excited and nodded: "Yes, not only did I participate, I also defeated the ninth junior brother of the main hall master and won the championship in a gambling competition."
Zhou Fu's tone was full of joy and pride. It could be seen that Zhou Fu's character was very similar to that of Tan Zhongchi, and she had a strong sense of identification and belonging to the Qingyun Temple lineage.
Seeing that a great genius has appeared in his own lineage, instead of feeling jealous, he was very happy.
"Fu'er, please introduce me to Wushuang. After this year-end assessment, you will be brothers in the same rank. We must love each other and maintain the reputation of Qingyun Palace, do you understand?"
"yes."
Zhou Fu smiled brightly and introduced: "Wushuang, this is your second senior brother Lu Teng, third senior brother Jian Rui, fourth senior brother Li Tianrun..."
Qin Wushuang has a very good memory. After one try, he memorized the names of all the core disciples and was able to correctly identify them.
Tan Zhongchi looked at this scene very happily and said: "From now on, the thirteen of you will be the pillars of my Qingyun Palace lineage. If my teacher's expectations are correct, the successors of the Qingyun Palace lineage will inevitably be
They are chosen from among the thirteen of you. As for who will win in the end, I will never be partial as a teacher, everything will be based on personal strength and achievements. Do you understand?"
"In my lineage of Qingyun Palace, there are not so many rules, only one. Brothers and sisters must love each other, and must not plot against each other, be jealous of each other, or be jealous. Within the scope of Xingluo Palace, no one can fall into any trap.
The name of the master must not lose the face of Xingluo Palace within the scope of Tianxuan Continent."
Tan Zhongchi, the master of the second palace, is a tough man in front of outsiders. He is very strict, even a little unhuman, and very difficult to deal with.
But his education for his disciples was tight on the outside and broad on the inside, giving them a lot of freedom. Moreover, he always loved his disciples very much and never let his disciples suffer outside. Even if his disciples made mistakes outside, he would
He must first protect him, and then come back and implement the family law. Therefore, he is very supported by his disciples.
These core disciples were all cultivated by him. He worshiped Tan Zhongchi so much and obeyed his advice that naturally there would be no such thing as infighting within the sect.
Tan Zhongchi looked at everyone's expressions and grasped their psychology.
"Some of you may be confused as to why I would promote Qin Wushuang so much as a disciple and let a new disciple be compared with you. Fu'er said that Wushuang participated in the gambling competition. This may not be convincing. I will give you two more
For example, Qi Shengnan, the Protector Martial Saint of the Great Wu Kingdom, the second Martial Saint of the Western Chu Kingdom, and Li Wuji, the eldest disciple of the extremely sinister old man, I believe that any one of these three people will not lose to most of the core members of you.
Disciple, these three people are no longer alive now. And the person who killed them is your new junior brother-Qin Wushuang!"
As soon as these words came out, the core disciples were moved and looked at Qin Wushuang in surprise.
When Zhou Fu came, she also had a feeling of admiration. Her eyes like autumn water looked at Qin Wushuang and sighed: "As a senior sister, I am really a bit ignorant. The new junior brother is so powerful, I actually thought beforehand
I haven’t heard any rumors. Junior Brother Wushuang, you have to perform well in this year-end assessment. Everyone in the Xingluo Palace will look at you with admiration, which will make Master and me, the senior sister, feel proud.
"
"Hey, I must try my best not to lose my master's reputation."
Tan Zhongchi obviously had high expectations for Qin Wushuang, but he did not put any pressure on Qin Wushuang face to face and said: "Of course, Wushuang's first priority is to pass the assessment and enter the ranks of core disciples. Only by entering the core disciples
Only by joining the ranks will you be eligible to participate in the core disciple ranking competition."
Zhou Fu smiled and said: "It's easy to pass the assessment. With the strength shown by Wushuang Junior Brother in the gambling arena, it is extremely easy to participate in the assessment of senior disciples."
"Having said that, we still have to be careful to avoid capsizing. Wushuang, do you know the promotion system for the year-end assessment?"
"Disciple has heard Messenger Liu mention it, but I don't know the specific details."
"Fuer, you are responsible for explaining it to Wushuang."
Zhou Fu nodded and chuckled: "Junior Brother Wushuang, you are now a senior disciple, so you know that you need to take the senior disciple assessment. As long as you rank in the top three among senior disciples in the assessment, you can be promoted directly. If you are fourth or fifth
If you are named first, you need to compete with the fourth and fifth ranked Xiantian disciples for a spot. As for the core disciple assessment, the bottom three will be directly demoted to senior disciples. Therefore, you only need to lock in one of the top three spots.
Promotion to core disciple is guaranteed."
Qin Wushuang nodded: "I understand, but what about the content of the assessment? I don't know yet."
Tan Zhongchi smiled and said: "You don't need to ask about this. You, Senior Sister Zhou, don't know either. The content of the assessment is different every year. This is the core secret of Xingluo Palace. No one among the disciples participating in the assessment can know it in advance. That's it.
Just like when you participated in the martial arts trial before, the content is absolutely confidential."
"Disciple understands, please ask Master, after becoming a core disciple, are you eligible to participate in the core disciple ranking competition?"
Tan Zhongchi nodded with a smile: "The Core Disciple Ranking Competition is the highlight of every year. Each lineage is valued very much. It is the best test of all the core disciples' efforts for a year. As long as you get the top three in the senior disciple assessment, you will be the core of the new generation.
Disciples are naturally qualified to participate in the ranking competition!"
Qin Wushuang nodded, a look of fascination flashing in his eyes.
