Chapter 458: Apprenticeship Ceremony
Summer house.

Although the mansion was not decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, it was still festive and joyful, with the number of servants coming and going several times more than usual.

The Xia family's residence was usually inconspicuous in Beiguo County. Although the daughter of the Xia family married the leader of the Tie Gang, everyone knew that she was just a concubine and was not very favored. They just had some relationship, so no one would bully the elderly and weak in the Xia family.

But the wind seemed to have suddenly changed in the past few days. Xu Wan, the leader of the Iron Gang, suddenly became extremely concerned about his father-in-law. He carried boxes of gold and silver into the Xia residence and planned to buy several large houses around it, saying that he wanted to connect them up to make a garden.

Rumors say that the lady of the Xia family has recently won the favor of Xu Wan, and Old Master Xia has also benefited from it.

Few people know that all this happened because of the arrival of a young man.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. That day in Feiyan Tower, the strong dragon suppressed the local snake. Although only three leaders in the Iron Gang knew that Li Ming was a congenital master, everyone kept their mouths shut. But others are not stupid. Even a blind person can tell from your arrogant and servile behavior.

Naturally, they were very curious about the identity and strength of the mysterious man. The other two forces, the Wild Wolf Gang and the Green Bamboo Sect, were very concerned about Xu Wan's every move.

More people were also sent to keep an eye on the mysterious man who lived in Lao Du Ke's inn, but in the past few days, we only knew that he was hanging out with Yan Tiannan and two old Taoist priests.

This made it even more difficult to tell the truth from the false. One only heard that Xu Wan's youngest son seemed to want to become a disciple.

Today is not an auspicious day, but Li Ming just said that it is better to choose a day instead of an unlucky day. He chose today as the night when he took out the sword, leaving him one day to prepare.

Xu Wan also tried his best. At this moment, the main room was basically full of people. On both sides of Old Man Xia, who was sitting in the main seat, were Wu Chi Wu Chen, Yan Tiannan Shang He, and the other two heads of the Tie Gang and several hall masters.

But the protagonist is not any of them, but a cute eleven-year-old boy.

There was still a bit of baby fat on her childish face, and her big black eyes were rolling around, as if she was very curious about everything today, but she was wearing a decent dress.

Xu Wan next to him waved his hand, and a servant immediately came over with a wooden tray with an exquisite teacup on it.

"Yier, kneel down and serve tea, and call me Master!"

The one called Yi'er is naturally his youngest son Xu Yi. This child is born smart, and Xu Wan himself likes him. With the opportunity of the Xia family, he can now become a disciple of a congenital master. This is a blessing that many people cannot ask for.

Xu Wan had intended to hold a grand ceremony to borrow Li Ming's favor, but it seemed that Li Ming saw through his little trick and just told him to keep everything simple. Xu Wan was helpless, but now that it really came to this, he was very happy.

No matter what, he now has a congenital master as his backer. Even if he doesn't like to show up in public, he is the father of his apprentice. As long as there is a relationship in the future, he will not be afraid of not being able to run the business if he visits him more often during festivals and birthdays.

I even had a plan in my mind about how to use this reputation in the future. For example, killing the tree monster would be worth writing about. I would make a name for Mr. Li. He wouldn't blame me, would he?

Xu Yi knelt down neatly and swiftly, kowtowed three times to Li Ming, who was sitting at the top of the table, and handed him the teacup, saying, "Master, have some tea."

The crisp child's voice became the only sound in the room.

Li Ming looked at everything around him without saying anything, but he was quite happy in his heart. After all, he had taken the two magical weapons of the Xia family, and he had to give an explanation no matter what. Li Ming, who had traveled through many worlds, naturally knew that sometimes you don’t care, but in fact there are hidden causes and effects.

So he took the tea and took a sip. His mouth was immediately filled with fragrance. He knew that this was good tea. He looked at Xu Yi with satisfaction in his eyes.

So Xu Wan immediately shouted: "The ceremony is over!" The apprenticeship ceremony presided over by Xu Wan himself was completed.

"This tea is good." Li Ming laughed, then took out a jade pendant from his waist and said, "I made this little thing myself. Consider it a gift for meeting you."

Xu Yi immediately chuckled. He was a child at heart after all. He grabbed the jade pendant and couldn't let it go, playing with it back and forth.

This was hastily made by Li Ming last night. He used the secret method of Miao Kun Temple to seal a wisp of Qi inside it. However, it can only keep it clean, and the effect probably won't last for half a year. It can only be said to be a small gadget.

There is no way. The weapon refining method in this world does not seem to be mature, or in other words, the weapon refining method of Miaokun Temple is not suitable for Li Ming now. Li Ming is still groping for it, and it is impossible for him to make a powerful weapon in one night.

Xu Yi only felt that the jade pendant seemed to be flowing with coolness, and it was very comfortable to hold in his hand.

"From today on, you are my second disciple. There is another one ahead of you, but he is not with me now. We will meet again in the future." Li Ming said with a smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around applauded and there was laughter in the room.

Then Li Ming said, "Although you will learn martial arts from me in the future, these two are still your elders. Call them uncles. This one is the first uncle, and this one is the second uncle."

Xu Yi also called them one by one obediently.

Wu Chi and Wu Chen looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Wu Chi then sighed and said, "I have nothing of value, so I will give these three talismans to my nephew for protection. If he encounters any danger, he can resist some."

Wu Chen pulled out a bell from his sleeve and said, "This is the Qingxin Bell. It can eliminate distracting thoughts from your mind. Take it and play with it, nephew."

Finally, he called Shang He "Senior Brother".

This made Xiao Shanghe very happy, and she hugged Xu Yi and spun around several times.

Li Ming then walked over to Xu Wan and said, "I have some important matters to attend to, so I'm afraid I can't stay for long. I have two sets of martial arts that I'd like to leave behind for Xu Yi. He's still young, so I'm afraid I won't be able to teach him right away. I've already memorized the manuals, so I'll give them to you, Boss Xu."

Although this was agreed upon in advance, Xu Wan was still breathing rapidly at this moment. As the leader of the Iron Gang, his success today was naturally inseparable from his martial arts skills.

However, due to the limitations of inherited talent, the third level of acquired cultivation was his limit, and further polishing would probably result in no hope of reaching the innate level. But now, this innate master personally brought the secret book to his door, and even he found it difficult to control himself.

Li Ming seemed to have some awareness and then said: "These are all basic things, but if Boss Xu wants to teach Xu Yi, it's best for him to practice it himself first."

"Can I practice?" Xu Wan said hesitantly.

"How can you teach your children if you don't practice yourself?" Li Ming smiled as if to acquiesce, and said only, "But if it gets out, it won't be good. Boss Xu, you should know your limits."
