Chapter 65
The next day, five young men came to become his disciples and ate five pots of rice in one meal.
Zhang Xiaodan finally understood what Anzi meant by "make her work hard" last night.
Most importantly, as they began to practice, their appetite gradually increased...
Zhang Xiaodan: …I feel numb.
Time flies and it's winter vacation. Anzi packed her luggage and went to the airport with Lu Jun and Zhang Zhaonian. They were going to attend Huo Jue's coming-of-age ceremony.
The other five disciples wanted to go, but Anzi refused. He threw them five copies of the "Heavenly Master's Beginner's Manual" that they had to copy from memory and informed them that they would be tested upon their return. Those who failed the test had to write a 5000-word self-criticism.
Five disciples: ??? Is it a violation of the Heavenly Law if I fail the exam?
Chen Feng was the slowest among the five people. When Anzi got on the plane, he was already looking for someone to write his self-review for him.
As soon as Zhang Zhaonian sat down, an introductory manual was thrown into his arms.
Zhang Zhaonian: ???
Anzi looked dead, "Do you think you can escape?"
Zhang Zhaonian: …
After getting off the plane, Huo Jue, who had been notified, was already waiting at the airport to pick us up.
When he saw Zhang Zhaonian coming out, he immediately went forward to hug him enthusiastically. The two of them hugged each other like good brothers, whispering something as they walked.
This time, Anzi and the other two did not stay in a hotel. Instead, they were brought back by Huo Jue to the Huo family's quaint courtyard. Huo Jue also specially arranged a separate courtyard for them.
Zhang Zhaonian took out a wrapped gift from his bag and handed it to Huo Jue, "Jue, happy birthday."
Huo Jue's eyes curved and he took it with both hands, "Thank you, Brother Nian."
Anzi also took out a small box the size of a palm from his backpack and handed it over, "Happy birthday!"
Huo Jue was flattered and quickly raised his hand to take it, "Thank you, little master."
I don't know why, but he always feels a little restrained when facing the young master. He doesn't have this feeling when facing the grandma master. It's really strange!
"Then you guys take a good rest first, I'll pick you up for dinner later." Huo Jue held the gift with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only said this.
Anzi and Zhang Zhaonian nodded at the same time.
After he left, the three of them each chose a room to stay in.
Huo Jue went to Shi Yongan's yard with the gift. At this time, Shi Yongan was playing chess in the pavilion. Hearing the noise, he slowly raised his head.
Unlike before, his hair is now completely white, his face is covered with deep wrinkles, and he looks old, like he is in his seventies or eighties. If Anzi were here, he would definitely be able to see that his vitality is slipping away, like a balloon with a hole in it.
“Master…” Huo Jue felt a little sad when he saw Shi Yongan like this.
Shi Yongan smiled and waved to Huo Jue.
Huo Jue trotted forward, placed the two boxes on the stone table, and knelt down with a plop.
"Master, the little master is here, I will go and ask her..."
Shi Yongan raised his hand and touched his head, then sighed, "Ajue, I should have died eighteen years ago. I have survived for so many years and divined a way out for you. I have no regrets in my death."
Huo Jue's face was covered with tears. He hugged Shi Yongan's skinny waist and sobbed, "Master, I can't bear to leave you." "Jue, from now on, you can only rely on yourself." Shi Yongan's eyes were slightly red.
Now, the "Tianji" lineage has been truly cut off at his place. Ajue has no talent in the Tianji area, and he only hopes to borrow the power of the young master this time.
Originally, I wanted to seek help from that grandma master, but unfortunately she didn't come this time, so I can only place my hopes on the young master.
Huo Jue has a peculiar fate. He carries a remnant soul of the Huo family's ancestor on his body. He has been relying on Shi Yongan to cover it up all these years. In addition, with the strength of the Huo family itself, otherwise he would have been found by those people long ago.
You know... Huo Jue will definitely not be able to escape...
The Huo couple lived in the hospital in the front. Before dinner, Huo Jue took An Zi and the other two over to say hello and then went to Huo Jue's yard next door.
Huo Jue's yard was very big, and there was actually a sizeable martial arts training ground inside. Several kinds of weapons were placed on the shelves nearby, which made Zhang Zhaonian and Lu Jun's eyes widen.
Anzi couldn't bear to see them like that, so he pouted at them and said, "Come up and play?"
Zhang Zhaonian's eyes lit up and he turned to seek Huo Jue's opinion.
Huo Jue just needed a favor from An Zi, so there was no reason for him to refuse, so he simply nodded.
He was used to playing with those weapons, but Zhang Zhaonian and Lu Jun had never seen many of them. Huo Jue naturally demonstrated them one by one. When they had enough fun and were ready to go in for dinner, where was Anzi next to them?
Zhang Zhaonian:!!!
Lu Jun: !!!
"Miss An said she went to the yard next door." The servant who followed them reported softly, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Jue's eyes moved, "Don't worry, my master's yard is next door, he is a very good person."
Perhaps the young master had seen something and that's why he passed away. If that's the case, then the master might still be saved.
Lu Jun pursed his lips and said, "I'll go over and take a look."
He used an affirmative tone and was not seeking Huo Jue's opinion. It was his duty to protect An Zi, and he couldn't go there regardless of Huo Jue's agreement.
Huo Jue nodded, "Of course, why don't we just have dinner at Master's place."
Zhang Zhaonian had no objection, it didn’t matter where you ate.
In the pavilion, tea was bubbling on a small stove, and the hot steam was quickly blown away by the winter wind.
Anzi yawned, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Shi Yongan looked at her face intently, but found that he could only see chaos.
He stood up and bowed respectfully to Anzi, "I am Shi Yongan, the 32nd generation successor of Tianji Sect, and I am honored to meet you, sir."
Anzi didn't shy away. This man wanted to throw a big trouble to her. What's wrong with her accepting his gift? She can bear it!
"Thirty-second generation...it's been passed down for nearly two thousand years? How did it become like this?" Anzi didn't understand at all. This man looked like he was about to die.
Shi Yongan's face twitched, but he could not say anything to refute. The Tianji lineage was indeed getting weaker with each generation, and was about to be extinct.
However, tomorrow is Huo Jue's coming-of-age ceremony. He gritted his teeth and knelt down, "Please save Huo Jue's life, sir. I am willing to offer the most precious treasure of my Tianji Sect - the thousand-year-old black tortoise shell."
He could deserve a big gift, but there was no need to kneel down. Anzi quickly jumped off the stool and dodged.
"You want me to help you with a mere thousand-year-old black tortoise shell?" Anzi sneered.
Although he didn't know what the old man wanted her to do, the fact that he could take out a thousand-year-old black tortoise shell proved that this matter was definitely not a small matter. Since it was not a small matter, wouldn't a black tortoise shell be too cheap?
Fortunately I made it in time. I had a severe cold and needed some money to comfort me.
